Former Pro Surfer and RVCA Founder Conan Hayes is at the Heart of Stop-the-Steal Mania
In multiple states, Conan Hayes has appeared as a quiet but central figure in efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Donald Trump’s favor.

On November 27, 2020, as then-president Donald Trump promoted election fraud hoaxes, one Twitter user appeared to share exclusive pictures from inside the rightwing Stop the Steal operation.
The user, @We_Have_Risen, tweeted pictures of what he implied were raw vote tallies photographed in Antrim County, Michigan, a key swing state at the center of the stolen election fantasy. Among other offerings, he included photos of a dissected Dominion voting machine (Republicans accused Dominion of helping rig the election, and the company is now suing pro-Trump outlets over these false claims). The conspiratorial captions were well received by his followers, some of whom had previously taken interest in the user’s communications with the administrator of a QAnon-connected message board.
@We_Have_Risen was in Michigan as an “expert witness” for an examination of Antrim County’s votes. But @We_Have_Risen is not an election expert. He’s Conan Hayes, a former professional surfer and co-founder of the popular clothing brand RVCA. And in multiple states, he’s appeared in person as a quiet but central figure in efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Donald Trump’s favor.

Exactly what a mark would say.
Lindell also said he can't release his data because then other people would alter it, and then the narrative would be about the altered data. Which is basically what Arpaio and Zullo said ... almost six years ago.![]()
IMHO, voting for the former asshole and making any claim of fraud in the election is a whole kind of malice in itself.
GOP lawmakers cling to belief Mike Lindell will prove Trump won despite symposium flop
Tom Boggioni
August 16, 2021
According to a report from the Washington Times, a scattering of Republican lawmakers who attended MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's three-day "cyber symposium" in South Dakota are still undeterred in their belief that he will one day come through with irrefutable evidence of 2020 presidential election fraud that deprived Donald Trump of a second term.
Lindell's three-day event was widely derided, with the Washington Post labeling it "The spectacular implosion of Mike Lindell," while noting that one of Lindell's experts blew apart the conclusions by admitting, "...our team said we're not going to say that this is legitimate if we don't have confidence in the information."
Regardless, as the Washington Times' Joseph Clark wrote, some Trump election fraud true-believers who also happen to serve as elected officials are not willing to give up on the ghost of a chance Lindell will soon succeed.
"As Mr. Lindell's claims unraveled last week in front of an audience of 40 million online viewers and roughly 500 people attending in person, Republican state and municipal lawmakers at the Sioux Falls event became even more galvanized in their quest to overturn the election," Clark wrote. "Still convinced that the election was stolen from Donald Trump, they headed back to their state capitals primed to advance audits and investigations of the ballot counts."
Case in point, Virginia state Sen. Amanda Chase (R) who explained that she thinks the pillow and bedding company executive just needs more time.

Pretty much what the Church said about the Bible for over 1500 years too.
At the risk of a threadjack, I'll just say "Not true" and leave it at that.
I apologize, you are correct, it was not 1600 years. It was only about 1100 years between completion of the Jerome's Latin Vulgate (405CE) to John Wycliffe's full English version in the late 1400's.

Main article: Old English Bible translations
John Wycliffe is credited with producing the first complete translation of the Bible into English in the year 1382. In the centuries before this, many had taken on to translate large portions of the Bible into English. Parts of the Bible were first translated from the Latin Vulgate into Old English by a few monks and scholars. Such translations were generally in the form of prose or as interlinear glosses (literal translations above the Latin words).[3][self-published source?]
Very few complete translations existed during that time. Most of the books of the Bible existed separately and were read as individual texts. Translations of the Bible often included the writer's own commentary on passages in addition to the literal translation.[3]
Aldhelm, Bishop of Sherborne and Abbot of Malmesbury (639–709), is thought to have written an Old English translation of the Psalms.
Bede (c. 672–735) produced a translation of the Gospel of John into Old English, which he is said to have prepared shortly before his death. This translation is lost; we know of its existence from Cuthbert of Jarrow's account of Bede's death.[4]
In the 10th century an Old English translation of the Gospels was made in the Lindisfarne Gospels: a word-for-word gloss inserted between the lines of the Latin text by Aldred, Provost of Chester-le-Street.[5] This is the oldest extant translation of the Gospels into the English language.[5]
The Wessex Gospels (also known as the West-Saxon Gospels) are a full translation of the four gospels into a West Saxon dialect of Old English. Produced in approximately 990, they are the first translation of all four gospels into English without the Latin text.[3]
In the 11th century, Abbot Ælfric translated much of the Old Testament into Old English. The Old English Hexateuch is an illuminated manuscript of the first six books of the Old Testament (the Hexateuch).
Another copy of that text, without lavish illustrations but including a translation of the Book of Judges (hence also called the Old English Heptateuch), is found in Oxford, Bodleian Library, Laud Misc. 509.[3]
