An Argument From Ignorance
James Mauliola Keaka Stone Jr. 2:45PM – 2022
James Mauliola Keaka Stone Jr. makes an argument from ignorance and personal incredulity
Argument from incredulity, also known as argument from personal incredulity, appeal to common sense, or the divine fallacy, is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition must be false because it contradicts one's personal expectations or beliefs, or is difficult to imagine.
“William, your comment opens with a textbook example of a conspiracy theory, “The 2020 Presidential Election was rigged by a cabal of corporate oligarchs to install their own meat-puppet into the White House as a titular figure so they could rule behind the curtain of Oz”.
From there it swirls down the fabricated rat-hole of election fraud that has been rejected by every court, Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General and the DOJ.
Here’s the problem. In your comment, you do not identify, “Who” make up your, “cabal of corporate oligarchs”. Got any proof of who is in your “fever dream” of a cabal?
Moreover, you provide no evidence of “When”, “Where”, “Why” and “How” they created their nefarious plan to manipulate, “operate, control, exploit, control, influence, use/turn to one's advantage, maneuver, engineer, steer, direct, guide, orchestrate, choreograph, rig, falsify, distort, alter, change, doctor, massage, juggle, tamper with, fiddle with, interfere with, misrepresent, fudge” the 2022 election. None.
Then you rely upon a video featuring Eric Coomer, a former Dominion employee. This same Mr. Coomer sued Newmax, amongst others, for defamation for its false characterization of his comments regarding election security.
As you may know, Newsmax settled Mr. Coomer’s claims. As part of the settlement, Newsmax issued an apology, acknowledging that it had found “no evidence” to support the claims the network aired about Coomer’s influencing the election.
William, security experts distinguish between disinformation — straightforward lies — and malinformation, information that starts with a detail that is true but is then used or taken out of context to support a false story line. “It’s harder to fight malinformation, because of the fundamental truth being used to spread the lies,” says Matthew Masterson, who was a senior adviser for election security at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency during the Trump administration. Your comment is malformation.
William, Mr. Coomer is not the poster boy for your conspiracy theories. In fact, he wrote an op-ed published by The Denver Post on December 8, 2020 in which he called out the “fringe media personalities” who “continue to prey on the fears of a public concerned about the safety and security of our electoral system.”
William, you’ve been duped by the fringe conspiracists of the far-right media and are spreading malinformation.”

The following is what Mr. Stone is replying to:
The 2020 Presidential Election was rigged by a cabal of corporate oligarchs to install their own meat-puppet into the White House as a titular figure so they could rule behind the curtain of Oz
Eric Coomer demonstrates the adjudication function on the Dominion machines. As you can see in Coomer's presentation anyone using the machine can mark ballots however they wish.
The security camera at State Farm Arena polling station caught it all on video:
Shay Moss and her mother Ruby Freeman told the poll monitors and newsteam that they were shutting down counting ballots for the evening, and said for everybody to leave and come back the next day, But then, after everyone left they went right back to running stacks of ballots through those Dominion machines, which as Eric Coomer demonstrated can flip votes in any way they wanted.

So Molly Ball claims that these conspirators “saved” the 2020 presidential election. however when reading the article we discover that the election was manipulated in a multitude of ways. And what are the various terms one can use for manipulated?
operate, control, exploit, control, influence, use/turn to one's advantage, maneuver, engineer, steer, direct, guide, orchestrate, choreograph, rig, falsify, distort, alter, change, doctor, massage, juggle, tamper with, fiddle with, interfere with, misrepresent, fudge.
PROLOGUE
It has become increasingly obvious after several months of dealing with the repercussions of the TIMES Magazine article by Molly Ball that some preliminary remarks are in order to understand the meaning of this article.
First and foremost is Ms. Ball’s use of language. The language she uses is what George Orwell referred to as, “Political Language”, wherein the terminology takes on rather deceitful nuances to portray a message that although true, is couched in coded terms. So that when Ms. Ball is describing what is clearly a conspiracy to manipulate the 2020 Presidential election, she chose the term “to save” it.
This key phrase has allowed for a disingenuous interpretation of the message Ms. Ball is giving the readers. This tactic allows for mollification of those who will automatically recoil from the real message that the article conveys, that the 2020 presidential election was ‘rigged’ ie; stolen by the cabal of corporatist oligarchs who conspired to place the candidate of their choice in the White House.
Another thing is obvious from the article, and that is that Ms. Ball was obviously taken into confidence by the leadership of this conspiracy and given first hand detailed information. They wanted this story to be revealed to the public. They knew because of their powerful positions that they are impervious to any legal consequences for their plainly illegal activities, as they have the impunity of wealth and political power. These people can brag about this outrage and get away with it.
Now, Anyone who wishes to argue against the evidence shown above and at the article linked below must make a reasoned argument against the facts shown and within that argument. I will not accept being called a “conspiracy theorist” or any other ad hominem attacks as an answer.
____________________________________________________________________________
As anyone can see by Mr. Stone’s reply, he did not make a reasoned arguments against the facts cited, nor did he read the article I linked to.
So obviously James Mauliola Keaka Stone Jr. is making an argumentum ab auctoritate, also called an appeal to authority, or argumentum ad verecundiam, a form of argument in which the opinion of an authority on a topic is used as evidence to support an argument. This is troubling because Mr. Stone is replying to my post on the 2020 presidential election fraud, that he steadfastly refuses to read.
He goes on to complain, “Moreover, you provide no evidence of “When”, “Where”, “Why” and “How” they created their nefarious plan”, remember, Stone is making this assertion without actually having read the article he is complaining about.
They were and how they created this nefarious plan were in Zoom meetings chaired by the chief instigator, Michael Podhorzer, AFL-CIO director. and the Architect of the Conspiracy to steal the 2020 Presidential Election. There were a few meetings of some members of the cabal at Mark Zuckerberg’s residence and one at Jack Dorsey’s place. Anyone who has read the article would know this.
I had put this notice at the end of my comment on Mr. Stone’s thread:
*If anyone wishes to dispute this evidence they will have to make a reasoned argument based on the facts shown above and in the body of the article linked to. No calling me a ‘conspiracy theorist’ or any other ad hominem attacks*
The very first sentence from Stone was this: “William, your comment opens with a textbook example of a conspiracy theory,“ -The exact thing I warned against.
This is a quote and my critique of it that is in the main article:
“But it’s massively important for the country to understand that it didn’t happen accidentally. The system didn’t work magically. Democracy is not self-executing.”That’s why the participants want the secret history of the 2020 election told, even though it sounds like a paranoid fever dream–a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information.
They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it. And they believe the public needs to understand the system’s fragility in order to ensure that democracy in America endures.
Every attempt to interfere with the proper outcome of the election was defeated,” says Ian Bassin, co-founder of Protect Democracy, a nonpartisan rule-of-law advocacy group.
“Democracy is not self-executing.” – Ian Bassim, Of course that is disingenuous rhetorical sophistry, democracy certainly is self-executing when it is not tampered with the way Bassim and his fellow conspirators did.

The more I think about it the more it seems to me that Mr. Stone had a psychotic reaction to my information, because his responses were highly irrational.
Excellent. Thanks William.
