NEW YORK – Sunday morning, at 4:30 a.m. Pacific Time, filmmaker and bestselling author Dinesh D’Souza rolled up his bedding at the community confinement center in San Diego that had been his nightly home for eight months and placed it in a plastic bag for the last time.
At the first moment he was allowed to leave, he showed up at the detention office and declared, “Time to say good bye.”
He went to the parking lot, got in his automobile and drove himself home, with no intention of ever returning.
On the drive home, D’Souza could easily reflect that he had defied what he and many of his allies see as an Obama administration effort to silence him.
In his eight months of nightly confinement, he found time to sign a contract with HarperCollins and begin writing a new book to follow his 2014 New York Times bestseller “America.” He also started the process of financing his next feature film, scheduled for the 2016 presidential campaign. And he’s designed a sequel to his highly profitable 2014 feature film “America: Imagine the World Without Her.”
D’Souza believes he even managed to convert the approximately 100 Hispanic immigrant students he taught English as part of his community service from socialist-leaning supporters of the Democratic Party to GOP voters.
As WND reported, after pleading guilty to campaign finance violations, D’Souza was sentenced in September to eight months in a work-release center, five years of probation and a $30,000 fine. He also was required to set aside one day a week during his probation to teach English to non-English speakers. He pleaded guilty in May 2014 to arranging “straw donors” to contribute $10,000 to the failed 2012 U.S. Senate campaign of Wendy Long, a college friend.
A month after his sentencing, U.S. District Judge Richard Berman ordered him not to leave San Diego County.
D’Souza’s supporters contend the case was politically motivated payback for his two successful documentaries and companion bestselling books critical of Obama and what D’Souza regards as an anti-American ideology. He released “2016: Obama’s America” during the 2008 presidential campaign and “America: Imagine the World Without Her” in July 2014, ahead of the midterm elections.
D’Souza’s first television interview after his released from nighttime confinement is scheduled for Thursday night with Megyn Kelly on the Fox News Channel.
‘A lesson the left never intended’
“I experienced confinement in three stages,” D’Souza told WND in an interview. “I was obviously elated when the sentence came down that I had avoided prison, and all I had to do was go sleep at the confinement center.
“But then I found out that the confinement center is actually a place where you find hardened criminals, much more dangerous than the executives and criminals who tried to defraud the IRS that you would expect to find at a federal white collar prison camp,” he explained.
“So when I first got to the confinement center, I was quite alarmed and very concerned for my own safety,” he said. “I had no idea how I was going to get through the next eight months with this type of crowd.
“But now that I’m finished with the eight months confinement, I feel I was put into an environment that I never would normally be in; in fact, an environment that very few conservatives have every been in,” he said. “But it expanded my horizons, so now I am elated again, because I feel I have come out of it with a knowledge and with a new determination that I never had going in there.”
D’Souza said his confinement “expanded my horizons in ways the left never intended.”
“The left by targeting me for selective prosecution intended to teach me a lesson, but the lesson I’ve learned is I’m sure not the lesson the left wanted me to learn,” he said.
‘Stealing America’
D’Souza told WND the title of his new book will be “Stealing America.”
“The theme is that we think of American politics as a clash of ideas in that we stand for ‘liberty’ while the left stands for ‘justice’; we stand for ‘freedom,’ they stand for ‘equality,’ and I have spent most of my career debating these ideas,” he explained.
“But one of the things I learned in confinement was the hardened criminals I met, even as they were preparing to be released back in society, continue to live at the most basic level.”
He said that instead of discussing issues theoretically, he learned the ideology of the criminal is, “How do I get more?”
“It doesn’t matter whether it is right for them to get more, but if they have to stage a song and dance to get more, their only question is, ‘What is the best song and dance routine I can come up with to get people to go along with my con job or my scam?’
“So, I began to sit back and look at progressives in the Democratic Party as con artists who aren’t really attempting to achieve a rival view of America, but are attempting to transfer wealth, power and resources away from the ‘haves’ in favor of themselves.”
He said he began to realize “there’s a deep struggle going on in America regarding who should control the massive resources and wealth of the country.”
“Is it the entrepreneurial class that creates the wealth,” he asked, “or is it a political class that would much rather control and spend those massive resources and wealth themselves?”
D’Souza told WND he had come to understand modern politics in the United States “much more transparently and clearly” by “avoiding the squid-like cloud of rhetoric put up by the Democrats” and “focusing instead on the redistribution of power and wealth the Democrats are really trying to effect.”
