As far as Lindell giving back and spending his own money for good causes, Rebecca Rogers, one of the founders of Focus on America, noted that Mike Lindell was one of the first major donors to this organization and helped subsidize the first event that put the organization on the radar as an important grassroots’ patriots’ organization.
This reminded me of the story I read of Lindell chartering trucks to try to support the Canadian Trucker protestors, a move that was also blocked.
Speaking for myself, I don’t think Mike Lindell is some kind of kook. I think he’s a brave and civic-minded patriot, a rare CEO who will one day be shown to have been on the right side of history.
When I learned how MyPillow became an instant sensation after one info commercial began to air, I thought about Nirvana and how one MTV music video ("Smells Like Teen Spirit") changed the career of this band over-night.
This story was recounted in former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl's best-selling memoir, which I recently finished.
According to Grohl, who later started the Foo Fighters, the band was playing small clubs and might have been performing before 250 to 500 fans before the video debuted. Within weeks, the band was selling out 15,000-seat arenas. One video really changed the landscape of rock music.
"Over-night success stories" happen all the time. But when you read the books - or watch later documentaries - and get the real story, you learn these over-night success stories usually occurred over many years. For the first years of his rock musician career, Grohl was in a band where he was happy to get a daily stipend of $10 and often slept in the band's van.
He and Kurt Cobain were living in a tiny house where they were splitting rent of about $500 when Nirvana - almost overnight - became the most-celebrated rock band in the world.
P.S. Grohl wrote his excellent book in 2020 - when all music concerts were cancelled and he could no longer play music. So he, smartly, used this down time to write a book. (Of course, other musicians, who had yet to receive their big break, couldn't do this. We'll never know how many bands might have "hit it big" if the lockdowns had not occurred.)
As an avid fan of My Pillow products, I totally agree with you. He is anything but a kook. He has been railroaded mercilessly. The powers that be truly want to see him in the gutter. It’s rather extraordinary. We’ve all seen this sort of thing happen to the folks on our side but I’ve never seen it taken to the Nth degree as it’s been with Lindell.
“(We have a system) that provides healthy rewards for private enterprise that links up with state power and brutal punishments for those enterprises which do not.”
Regarding the last point, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell must be the most egregious example of a man and company that was “punished” for not following the “authorized narrative.”
Lindell’s crimes were two-fold: He was a conspicuous Trump supporter (probably the only CEO in America who was) and he later made challenging election fraud one of his new missions.
Because of these transgressions, the System conspired to remove his products from the “box stores” (like Bed Bath & Beyond and Wal-Mart), then American Express “de-banked” his company and no doubt other banks refused to extend the company credit.
The key to success for MyPillow was their info-commercials, which now, the company cannot even run.
As Lindell noted in his remarks, he is now struggling to simply “keep the company afloat.”
It should be noted this is a company that makes its products in America and sells products that have been proven to be very popular with consumers - but is now hanging on by a thread. What type of capitalism is this?
And who is standing up for MyPillow or seeking to punish those who harmed this company?
Nothing but respect for Mike Lindell, Bill. I believe he truly is one of God’s brave warriors…you, Jeff Childers, Karen Hunt, Mike Huckabee, and many others who’ve been “commissioned” also inspire us to action here on Substack. Thank you and may God bless you, your family, and your work! 🙏🇺🇸
Now I know what Jeff Childers looks like. I love 💕 his substack writing. I love Mike Lindell and his story. What was done to him and Trump will be revealed as one of the most sinister things, besides assassination, ever done to public figures. I am firmly convinced the election was rigged and that all conservative minded people need to get out and vote in November and make it too big to rig. If K & T get to sit as leaders of our nation, we’re done. God is watching.
Thanks for the good ol' fashioned reporting Bill. I acted this one out for my family and they said 'oh yeah, Mike Lindell shaved his moustache to get into the DNC.'
whaaa?!! How did they know that? I was laughing so much.
Anyway, imagine the switcheroo if tptb fix the election for the Trump-Vance-RFK throuple (which I am predicting). Will Lindell say "guys, the elections are STILL RIGGED."
I remember watching the results live here mid-morning when all the Americans had gone to bed - seeing the votes jump up/down was insane and how all the swing states suddenly stopped counting. There were a lot of independent streamers with eyes on the situation. Never seen anything like it.
I stayed up until 3:30 a.m. watching the "voter returns" come in. I smelled a rat right away.
If the election is stolen to benefit Trump and Vance, I'll spit up all my coffee on my computer keyboard and retract everything I've written in the last two years.
I already know the "fix is in" because the presidential polls flipped in about one day. That's prep work or advance work for the coming steal. Once they steal another election, they'll say this was entirely predictable and legit ... because all the "credible" polls predicted these results.
In other words, they probably couldn't rig the election if all the polls were showing Trump was going to win easily.
It seems to me the on-going efforts now assume the same tactics will be employed, but the Trump supporters and Lindell, etc. are simply trying to create such a huge margin for Trump that it's impossible to rig this election.
... My prediction: "They" are still going to try. I say it's 50-50, they'll succeed again.
Said differently, if the goal was to get Trump elected, the current polls would probably be reporting that Trump has the same big lead he had when "Joe Biden" was still the candidate. But this isn't what those polls are saying.
... Never trust a poll. 90 percent of them are captured.
Once I picked up Mike's book, I couldn't lay it down. He is an excellent writer. Since I got the book free with a big pillow order, I passed it on to my daughter, and who knows who has it now! Great article. 🙂
Bill as you say the institutions and levers of power are captured and it is certainly not a metaphor. Its our turn for the long march back through the institutions with Truth, exposing communist and globalist lies and leaning in towards the real foundations of the Republic. But God….
Speaker Mel K did the best job of showing all the key institutions/organizations that really rule the world. Her presentation was downright scary, but hard to deny.
She did add these groups might now be over-playing their hands.

"Build a better pillow and the world will beat a path to your door."
Well, this happened ... for a while.
I strongly recommend Jeffrey Tucker’s recent article at Brownstone pointing out that nothing like real capitalism exists in the world. Link:
https://brownstone.org/articles/this-is-not-capitalism/
The article’s last sentence notes:
“(We have a system) that provides healthy rewards for private enterprise that links up with state power and brutal punishments for those enterprises which do not.”

Bed Bath & Beyond got punished.
I think Mike Lindell is a great person touched by God. He does good things! Pray for him🙏🇺🇸
Buy from him!
I have mattress, pillows, sheets, towels....they are great products.
I buy his products as gifts!
Well I have so many for myself🥰
Excellent idea 😹

I love Mike Lindell, his autobiography is amazing.
What was the best one liner you mention at the end of your post?
Here's four Jeff Childer's lines that made us all chuckle:
“They - the alleged “saviors of democracy - threw out the cabbage (Biden) and brought out the Cackler.”
"Oprah spoke at DNC about her own struggles with racism and how this held back her career for so many years.”
Re: Fear of Monkey Pox (a sexually-transmitted disease). “Where do you put those masks? Oh, never mind.”
One-liner 4: “How are all the politicians going to get suitcases of cash with Central Bank digital currencies?”
They threw out the cabbage and brought in the brussel sprout.
Did you see Lindell's deposition? It is the funniest thing I have ever seen. Makes me like him a lot. Do NOT F with this man's pillows.

I think we'll hear about that in a later post about Childers' remarks.
I went ahead and posted a couple of them.

"And make (the upcoming election) too big to rig."
That seems to be the goal/strategy. Let's hope it works.
God bless Mike, and you, for all the work you do!
Thanks for reporting. Fascinating.

Could you kindly post a list of those not captured, with their Websites, and keep it updated?
How can valid polling even be done nowadays? Few accept calls from unknown numbers, or let alone return them. Even exit polling is passé.
Once I picked up Mike's book, I couldn't lay it down. He is an excellent writer. Since I got the book free with a big pillow order, I passed it on to my daughter, and who knows who has it now! Great article. 🙂
I need to get the book ... and order some pillows and other products from his company - direct from his website.

Edit please--it's Coffee and Covid (coffee comes first!)
Thanks. I'll fix it.
What a bunch of weird writers and commenters on The Independent!
Thank you Bill, so so much🥰
