After hitting the jackpot with Donald Trump’s endorsement for MyPillow and after a million-dollar bet on Fox News ads had paid out handsome returns, Michael Lindell exploited another chance to boost sales: marketing MyPillow to people who would tune in and attend rallies to hear Lindell tell the “Big Lie” that Dominion had stolen the 2020 election. As when MyPillow previously faced legal action for deceptive marketing campaigns, Lindell knew there was no real “evidence” supporting his claims. And he is well aware of the independent audits and paper ballot recounts conclusively disproving the Big Lie. But Lindell—a talented salesman and former professional card counter—sells the lie to this day because the lie sells pillows. MyPillow’s defamatory marketing campaign—with promo codes like “FightforTrump,” “45,” “Proof,” and “QAnon”—has increased MyPillow sales by 30-40% and continues duping people into redirecting their election-lie outrage into pillow purchases. 1 Case 1:21-cv-00445-CJN Document 1 Filed 02/22/21 Page 2 of 115 2.

  • Chapter 29 Dietrich and Ruth and Their Times Relevance for America in 2020-21 — Lessons of Historyi “Who Controls the Past
    Chapter 2 9 Dietrich and Ruth and their Times Relevance for America in 2020-21 — Lessons of Historyi “Who controls the past,” ran the Party slogan, “controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.” Part One, Chapter III of 1984 by George Orwell.1 “Hence, for the cup of liberty to be replenished, it’s beholden upon the people, by means of truth, to fervently attempt the liberation of the past, however recent or distant, from tyrants.” The author inspired by George Orwell and the American Founding Fathers. Ferdinand Schlingensiepen, author of Dietrich Bonhoeffer 1906-1945: Martyr, Thinker, Man of Resistance, which is one the premiere sources for this book, wrote an English language article in 2015 on the official Bonhoeffer website titled Making Assumptions About Dietrich: How Bonhoeffer was Made Fit for America.2 The title can perhaps be generalised to “Made fit for the English Speaking World.” Ferdinand was born in 1929 and post-war was a close friend of Eberhard Bethge — who was Dietrich’s closest friend. Eberhard died in 2000, but Ferdinand is still alive at the time of writing, aged 91.3 He spent crucial years of his childhood in an illegal Confessing Church seminary that his father led until his arrest.4 In the article, he is critical of the American conservative author and radio presenter Eric Metaxas who wrote Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy A righteous Gentile vs, the Third Reich published in 2010, and the liberal author Charles Marsh, a liberal theologian from Virginia and author of Strange Glory, A Life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer published in 2014.
