Right now Dakota News Now’s Beth Warden seems to be winning at the local coverage for Pillow Guy Mike Lindell’s Cyber Symposium, as she’s keeping a blow by blow twitter feed of the event.
Among Senators from other states chatting about being roommates during the last legislative session, @govkristinoem is not here. Maybe this empty table is for SD politicians? The only other South Dakotan I’ve seen is a man who does car dealerships commercials @dakotanews_now pic.twitter.com/MMKGLH7me5

But.. I’m not sure you could call it winning. Because winning assumes a prize at the end. When the only prize might be going home. If anything noteworthy comes up, I’ll pass it on. The event started about an hour late because of technical difficulties, noted as ‘hacking’ by event sponsors.
So far representing South Dakota officials, it only appears that State Senators Larry Zikmund & Jim Stalzer are attending.. and I thought I saw Julie Frye-Mueller. So, there you go.
Otherwise, you can watch it at xyz.frankspeech.com yourself.
Update.. Looks like South Dakota State Rep. Kevin Jensen is also there. But honestly, I had to turn it off when Mike Lindell started a bizarre version of “mean tweets,” reading off media stories, and yelling at the media in attendance that they were scum.
And another update.. Did I just see State Rep. Tina Mulally walk across the screen?
Stalzer and Zikmund attending is disappointing…Frye-Mueller fits right in
I tried to watch this.
I tried to listen and give what he was saying proper consideration.
I’m an IT professional with 26+ years in the industry.
I’ve taught cybersecurity and penetration testing professionally.
All I’ve been thinking is “That isn’t how this works…this isn’t how any of this works.”
It’s been mixed “that’s wrong” and “That’s just gobbledygook.”
I mean, I listened in trying to be convinced that there was something…anything there, but it’s like listening to a convention of the Flat Earth society.
I gave up when Mike Lindell started about “mean tweets” and I believe he called the press ‘scum.’
I cannot believe Zikmund and Stalzer attended. Disappointed.
Oddly enough conspiracy theorist Larry Kurtz from New Mexico was able to find someone drive him up to Sioux Falls to attend Mr. Lindell’s Cyber Conference.
They are targeting boomers who think when they tell someone their password and lose access to “their” Facebook, that they were hacked. It doesn’t take much to convince these people by showing a screen shot of the matrix code scene that the election was “stolen” or “hacked” too. Maybe pillow man is on to something, could it be that there are a lot of incredibly stupid people in this country?
I watched and listened to a lot of the symposium, a bunch of theories with no real hard evidence. Lots of reassuring that the 47 states represented can overturn the election, on exactly what, that doesn’t matter. The high point for me was seeing the standing ovation for a Brazilian diplomat as he delivered a MAGA hat directly from the “true president” to pillow man.
Crazy conspiracy theorist Larry Kurtz from New Mexico will usually be near an exit while constantly assessing imaginary threats and of course law enforcement. Most likely the only person wearing sunglasses indoors. Anyone see if he participated in the voting exercise or did he just stand with his back against the wall during the cyber conference?
