  But like Stalin and many other dictators and wannabe dictators, Trump’s Big Lie about the elections — their integrity and their final winner — is believed by millions of Americans. In the process of propagating the Big Lie, he convinced many people to disregard evidence, hate their neighbors, and treat journalists and public servants who tell the truth as “enemies of the people.”

  • OK then. So which side of this "Big Lie" is silencing the other and requiring they be shunned by society? Which side stands in front of burning buildings and proclaims peaceful protests? Finally, how many brave souls, like you, have already stepped forward to tell the Truth and dispel the Big Lie...?

• Statement - American Thinker

  American Thinker and contributors Andrea Widburg, R.D. Wedge, Brian Tomlinson, and Peggy Ryan have published pieces on www.AmericanThinker.com that falsely accuse US Dominion Inc., Dominion Voting Systems, Inc., and Dominion Voting Systems Corporation (collectively “Dominion”) of conspiring to steal the November 2020 election from Donald Trump. These pieces rely on discredited sources who have peddled debunked theories about Dominion’s supposed ties to Venezuela, fraud on Dominion’s machines that resulted in massive vote switching or weighted votes, and other claims falsely stating that there is credible evidence that Dominion acted fraudulently.

  These statements are completely false and have no basis in fact. Industry experts and public officials alike have confirmed that Dominion conducted itself appropriately and that there is simply no evidence to support these claims.

  It was wrong for us to publish these false statements. We apologize to Dominion for all of the harm this caused them and their employees. We also apologize to our readers for abandoning 9 journalistic principles and misrepresenting Dominion’s track record and its limited role in tabulating votes for the November 2020 election. We regret this grave error.

  Per 538 -- Nate Silver's joint -- the portion of former servicemen of the whole US population is 7.3 percent. So 9 arrests being former servicemen is about expected. If it was 9 out of 123 arrests, it's right on the money at 7.3 percent. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/what-percentage-of-americans-have-served-in-the-military/
