Cyber Ninja CEO Leading GOP’s Hoax Audit of Arizona Election Appears in QAnon ‘Documentary’

The head of the “Cyber Ninjas,” the group commissioned to carry out an ultra-partisan, comically inept “audit” of 2020 votes in Maricopa County, Arizona, can be starring in a documentary claiming the CIA helped rig the elections for Joe Biden, in accordance with Arizona reporters who attended a screening. 

Cyber Ninjas is a beforehand little-known agency that Republicans within the Arizona Senate contracted to do an in depth recount of votes in Maricopa County. There’s no proof of any fraud there, as confirmed by native election officers’ personal audit, and the train has primarily taken the type of more and more ludicrous makes an attempt to show Trump really received the county with nonsensical strategies like trying to find Chinese bamboo in paper composition or trying to invalidate ballots that have been folded in sure methods. Cyber Ninjas failed in court docket to protect its course of for conducting the audit from public scrutiny. (The entire factor is a farce, because the election outcomes are licensed and received’t change.) The firm’s CEO, Doug Logan, is an outspoken conspiracy theorist who believes Biden one way or the other stole the election.

The Arizona Republic reports that The Deep Rig, a movie that asserts shadow operatives throughout the U.S. authorities stole victory from Trump, premiered at Dream City Church in Phoenix on Saturday. For most of its runtime, it options Logan as an “anonymous technical expert.” But get this—there’s a stunning reveal! The Republic wrote that the gang, which paid $25 for tickets, broke out in applause when the film lastly reveals the identification of its skilled:

Toward the top of the film, Logan’s identification was revealed, to loud cheers from the roughly 500 individuals who purchased $25 tickets to attend. Others downloaded the film on-line for $45.

Logan stated within the movie, “If we don’t fix our election integrity now, we may no longer have a democracy.”

Christ.

At varied factors within the movie, the AZ Mirror reported, Logan claimed that the CIA or different intelligence businesses could also be concerned in selling “disinformation” in regards to the elections, and claims technical experience in voting machines. The Deep Rig reiterates easily debunked, hoax claims from a agency referred to as Allied Security Operations Group {that a} county in Michigan used voting machines that have been “intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results.” At a number of factors, the movie reportedly makes overt references to QAnon, the conspiracy concept which asserts Democratic politicians and Hollywood celebrities are behind a globe-spanning cabal of pedophile Satanists.

The Deep Rig is simply the most recent entry in what has successfully turn into a complete style of movies catering to Trump revanchists who refuse to consider that he misplaced his re-election bid with out the intervention of some nefarious cabal, be it Democrats, the Chinese authorities, or even the Italian army. The first one to take off was MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell’s Absolute Proof, a stream of hallucinatory drivel that baselessly asserted an election tech producer allowed Chinese hackers to flip votes for Biden and which is now one of many elements in a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit. Patrick Byrne, the former CEO of Overstock.com, has been giving Lindell a run for his cash within the race for high residence furnishings magnate to bilk probably the most cash out of pro-Trump donors. He wrote the unique guide model of The Deep Rig and says all earnings from the movie will go to fund the audit.

According to the Arizona Republic, Byrne stated that the producers had issue discovering every other venue to stream the movie however that anybody keen to pay $1 a seat (for $500 minimal) may host their very own viewing. He added, “This has been priced so patriots can make money. What we want is people to do this a lot around the country.” (The AZ Mirror estimated minimal income from the two,500 individuals who paid $45 to stream the movie at $115,000).

The director of the movie, Roger R. Richards, made a movie in 2018 claiming that extraterrestrials have been behind the Sept. 11, 2001 terror assaults on the World Trade Center, in accordance with Business Insider.

That Logan would seem within the movie regardless of overseeing the audit ought to come as no shock in anyway. While he’s constantly insisted that the end result of the audit might be honest, the Arizona Republic reported he’s brazenly acknowledged his bias in the direction of the predetermined conclusion Trump misplaced the elections due to fraud. Logan has previously stated he believes Trump, who misplaced the state of Arizona to Biden by a margin of practically 10,500 votes, really received the state by 200,000 votes, and the audit has by no means been far more than a nakedly partisan try to throw out as many votes as attainable to succeed in that desired final result. In May, the Justice Department warned Republican management within the Arizona Senate that Cyber Ninjas could also be violating federal voting and civil rights laws.

The Associated Press reported as of final week that Cyber Ninjas, which is way behind on its authentic timeline for the audit, has lastly completed counting and photographing 2.1 million ballots in Maricopa County. But former Arizona secretary of state Ken Bennett, a Republican, advised the information company that they nonetheless needed to topic information from voting machines and servers to extra analysis and Cyber Ninjas may not challenge a report till Labor Day.
