You fail when you support censorship and ask hard questions only if they are ideologically convenient; you are destroying yourselves by becoming the government's propaganda arm on Covid and vaccines.
More than one world renown statistician has said Biden's 65-45 lead in mail-in ballots on election day turning to many 95-5, in the big cities after midnight, was statistically impossible. I don't know what, or who, Alex is listening to but he needs to put his TDS aside and look at these late returns with a neutral eye.
Not one thing. Many things, always in the se direction, so not mistakes. Actual journalism would have uncovered so much, and would put us inuch better shape with covid.
Don't you remember Republican poll watchers being excluded from vote counts and windows into ballot rooms covered? I volunteered to be a poll worker in Las Cruces. I had to state my political affiliation, Republican. I was never called back, even though they said they had a shortage.
I forgot the name of the person who was ex Navy.. was asked to be a PA poll watcher by GOP or Trump admin. He said he was one of the few.. and was banned from going up to where the counting was done. He had to call lawyers and voter advocate organization to let in.. yet he was kept 20-30ft away from the nearest ballots. He called WH, warned them to send people there.. because there were 100s of Dem NGO activists walking around where he was not permitted to go anywhere near. WH people told him to go home and get some rest.. Trump is leading by 650.000. so, no worry.(that was around midnight. election day.) Next morning, he found Trump losing by 100.000.
Mass mail-in ballots, too. Another sure fire fraud machine but also a way to ensure that stoners and slackers (who routinely vote D but don't routinely vote for, well, obvious reasons). I suspect the number of S&S voters in 2020 was enormous.
Voter harvesting, vote buying, motor Voter, drop box, same day registration, and now universal mail-in voting. What can go wrong? and we use those machines too. I am so sick and tired of this state. Till 2020, I still had hope to fix this state, but, no longer. with so many illegals and so many are illiterate.. So many don't even have critical thinking. There is a reason why Demonrats want voters stupid.
Exactly, especially Mitch McConnell. He got whatever he wanted, but would not give Trump voters what they wanted, which was a wall, including Ryan of course. But Trump caved, too.
The phrase too corrupt to govern comes to mind. By that I mean all people and parties within the DC area. There is an obvious disconnect between the so called “ruling class” in Washington and they rest of the country. To the point that it’s rather apparent that there is seemingly no concern beyond “I’m getting what’s mine” or making sure lobbying money doesn’t dry up
Hind sight... probably after 2016, we should have made a new party if we knew there were so freaking many RINOs in Republican party. They collect donation using Trump and DeSantis,'s names and have no intention of supporting America First candidates.
Very true Al. In fairness some Republicans fought hard, but so many were quiet in the face of Nov 5th headlines like "Officials Say Voting Was, Like, Best in All History, Jesus H Christ It Was Good". (The Time magazine piece about the groups coming together to "safeguard democracy" was literally breathtaking, and "literally" isn't hyperbole). But as we see with the vaccines, many people turn a blind eye, thinking "Not in America". That blind eye should be on VAERS.
The USA is in the mess it's in because the Media in this country has long forgotten it's 1st Amendment duty to hold the feet of Politicians, Bureaucrats , and Corporate executives to the fire. The Media is supposed to be the Watch Dog for the people, but instead is the Lap Dog of the establishment. Their duty is to lie, manipulate, obfuscate by any means to protect the elite. Nothing will change until the MSM loves their children more than the greed and power afforded them from the establishment.
Concur…media is doing exactly what their owners want and succeeding very well. I don’t watch news and rarely even glance at the paper. I’m feeling less angst. 😎
Alex left the door open but he has to maintain the professional class disdain for President Trump. Later, he'll write about Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin and maybe PA when it gets more obvious. He just won't go there today.
Too bad, because Election Theft 2020 ain't dead. It's heating up. See Georgia with the amazing investigative work using mobile technology public records "True the Vote" did. Amazing! 😻
A more intellectually honest position would be to reserve judgement and admit that there are important, unresolved questions that need to be answered before making categorical statements of fact.
Same position that Alex holds about the shots and claims that they're "safe and effective."
I have seen the numbers and videos and other facts - facts that the courts will not entertain - with my own eyes and intellect. I have made my assessment based on readily available but mostly suppressed facts. Biden is as legitimate as the 'vaccines' are safe and effective.
That's exactly right. I will be willing to admit Trump lost when I have my questions about that election answered, as I stated WHY DID THE COUNTING STOP IN 4-6 SWING STATES ON ELECTION NIGHT....anyone....anyone? Crickets about this and its THE major issue.
On Fox election night coverage: Trump is up, Vegas odds change to his favor, The Chinese Yen takes a dive, counting stops. Then half an hour later counting resumes with Biden up over Trump the same amount he was down before counting stopped.
Agree and then at 6 am, tens of thousands of votes are mysteriously added to Biden's count in those same states. How did that happen when THE COUNTING HAD STOPPED! Which is it?
Alex elected (pardon the pun) to limit his conclusion to what he could discover in the immediate days after the election. He's going to leave it there until it's overwhelming and undeniable. That day will come and has already for many if not most American voters.
I have been, and still am a skeptic on the stolen election. Yesterday I read two articles about True the Voters efforts in Georgia. The GA Secy of State (no Trump acolyte) has agreed to investigate (the governor wasn't interested). So I await further information eagerly.
Yes, of course, how silly of me; I forgot that we are in some sort of postmodernist, epistemological nihilistic wasteland.
People come to different conclusions based on the available data/evidence. It appears to me that ALL the bases are covered with these two issues: There are people who think Trump lost and also think these vaccines are great; there are people who think Trump won and also think these vaccines are great. And all the other permutations, on and on.
I know, right? It's so bizarre that a very smart and appropriately cynical man doesn't see that the water's edge of one massive coverup might bump against the water's edge of another, especially when the goals are so similar. Thanks for your post Nomad
Yeah, it's Gell-Mann Amnesia. All the same people in media and government who have been proven liars on issue after issue, whether it's "vaccines stop the spread" or "This Tweet is COVID misinformation and you're banned" and on and on –– they're all the same people telling us that the 2020 election was legit.
But sadly, otherwise intelligent people like Alex get suckered into taking known liars at their word due to confirmation bias. Clearly Alex is no fan of Trump . Neither am I, to be honest. Difference is, Alex is letting his TDS color his thinking on this. "Surely this known liar is being honest about this one thing that I want to believe is true."
Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus. Scratch a liar, find a thief.
There is just as much evidence for the statement "The 2020 election was fishy as hell," as there is for the statement "Donald Trump lost." If one is being intellectually honest, one has to admit that this thing doesn't sit right. Coming out and saying "Donald Trump lost" is just myopic.
Sorry, we have to stop reporting real-time results in the swing states that Trump is winning in. Nothing to see here. (Just need to load some biden-only votes in the wee hours of the morning.)
Jon. My take… in 2020 44 states got the results within 4 to 5 hours after the polls closed. In 6 states, iit was way too difficult to count so late ( I dunno, lighting, not enough water, no coffee. Whatever the excuse) so they all decided to stop counting at the SAME time to try again the next day, or two days later or the next week.
A breathtakingly abnormal move and about the same as a bully smearing sh!t on your face and daring you to say it’s sh!t.
But the kicker is this. The so called Republican Party did NOTHING. Because they were all IN ON IT.
I changed my affiliation from republican to unaffiliated a week post election. Also, never voting again. Because it matters not. Not even close. The UniCapitalCrony party of Washington DC does what it wants when it wants. I am not even going to consider playing their game. “Every vote Counts!” Sure it does! Until the Vote Counter takes a look at the ballot.
Not sure we'd get the same policies with Trump, for instance the southern border. Biden halted construction on the wall, got rid of Remain, had said (In primary) "surge the border", and sent messages, literally and by actions, over and over, that crossing illegally is ok. They did and it continues, growing in number. Obviously there are many more examples of policy differences but this one alone is major and life affecting.
He's but one reporter and his focus is covid, not the stolen election. There is much evidence of election fraud here in Wisconsin. I could write several paragraphs describing it. Bottom line, there were not 80 million people who voted for Sleepy Joe Biden when 75 million voted for Donald Trump. Both those totals are more than any other president in history at the same time....highly unlikely...actually impossible.
Well, I can see Trump increasing his voters turn out, after all the guy was constantly on the campaign trail (have you seen his rallies?). On the other hand when the dementia patient was awake and out of the basement (few times in the whole campaign) he was able to get doesn't people to listen to him (mostly reporters) and yet 12M more than Obama (that didn't need to read from teleprompter) got out to vote for him, that's the suspicious part.
I know I'm late to this party, but what was up with the tight shots of Brandon at those rallies by Fox cameras? Trump has stadium filling wide shots, but you never got to see how pathetic the turnouts for Brandon were. If you are going to cover it, cover it equally.
"Let’s not forget that on November 6, 2020 – three days after Election Day was over – the Chair of the Federal Election Commission stated on live TV that we were all watching voter fraud take place right in front of us. Chairman Trey Trainor was referring to Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, and Wisconsin, which were all taking days and days and days to “count” the ballots without allowing any Republican observers into the counting rooms.
Could it really be possible that a conspiracy of that magnitude took place in Wisconsin? I’ll believe that before you ever convince me that Rock County, Wisconsin has 8,550 living voters who are older than Thelma Sutcliffe."
23,266 voters were all registered with the same Wisconsin phone number.
8,550 voters first registered to vote in Wisconsin in 1918.
Wisconsin HOT also discovered an addition 45 phone numbers that are shared by 900 registered voters.
In Rock County, 900 voters were registered at the same address.
543,000 voters in Wisconsin have no officially recorded date of registration.
I know it's rigged we caught them. Ready? My dad lives here he is 92. He moved from Florida but still has a FL Drivers license and is registered there, he's been here 3 years. He is a registered republican in Florida. In about October 2020 we received a voter registration card detailing a person with the name of my father had registered to vote. BUT there was one issue, the first and last name were exact BUT the middle initial was wrong and there was a junior at the end of the name. He is not a junior. We went to vote with it to SEE what would happen. When we got there we found out this person was registered as a democrat AND HAD ALREADY VOTED. I have a special name database i have access through for my work. My fathers name is not common, I checked the name that was on the Voter reg card and that person doesn't exist in CA. So yeah, there's not voter fraud?? BS. Our country is being stolen away because the elections are RIGGED.
Yep. 100% agree. That’s why when you go to vote in Ca and you try to present your ID they laugh at you and say put that away. You don’t need that here! Then if you try to see if your vote was cast correctly in CA they tell you there is no way to verify that.
And yet. All that evidence and nothing changes. Nothing gets done. Nobody reports on it. No one prints the proof of it. I believed from the minute I woke up on nov 4Th or was it the 5th. So long ago it seems.. It was stolen. I’m now glad Trump is not in there because I see him in a whole different light after all this. I hate that Biden is in there. The only person I see fit right now to hold that office is Ron DeSantis and he has things he needs to work on too! He has been quiet on these vaccines like all other Republicans so I’m not sure what is up with that. Honestly. I wish there was a third party. I don’t trust democrats or republicans and this whole vaccine scandal proves our government is completely corrupted. Can our country recover from this?? Only time will tell. So many people are putting trust In These upcoming 2022 elections! Why? Do you really think they will be fair?? The Democrats have perfected voter fraud. Do you really believe Gov Newsome was voted to remain in office?? I think tax paying people in CA knew for sure this man was corrupt. How can anyone in CA be happy with the way this state is governed?? It’s a mess! But the rich people in their summer homes saying just leave well enough alone. Nancy Pelosi just bought a 22 million home in Florida of all places! To add to all her other homes ( one of which is in Napa) Even she wants out of this crappy state with it’s over the top taxes, with its shitty roads and garbage lined highways( except in Sacramento of course) and tents everywhere you go with homeless shitting in the streets. Yea. California. A prophet on the burning shore! Even Bob Weir and the Grateful Dead have sold out. Good ole CA boys getting in good with the politicians. You know it’s bad when the once liberal hippies are now pushing the government propaganda. Bob Weir won’t even play at any venue unless every single person is vaccinated and masked up! He doesn’t even care if you have medical or religious exemption or you have natural immunity. Nope. Even Bob Weir says you are not welcome here unless you comply with the government! Ok. Well thanks for letting me rant people. I know I was all over the board but I just needed to get a few things off my mind. I’m so depressed at the state of this country right now. In 2 weeks my son will be forced to take the booster so he can remain at Berkeley college. He survived brain surgery. I hope he beats the odds and wins in this Russian Roulette vaccine! I’ve been trying to get someone at Berkeley to meet with me so I can present the data against these vaccines but no one will give me the time of day. Also my 2 daughters are vaxxed and probably going to get the boosters. Am I being over dramatic? I could lose all my kids to these poison shots and I have no one to help me! I am the only one not vaxxed in almost all my family and circle of friends. Where to go to escape this madness??? HELP
You are not alone. The only action that has helped me lately is to avoid reading news, avoid videos, podcasts, avoid anything discussing vaccines, politics, anything that triggers me. I realize that I’m writing this on THE source for vax info, I do that because this is the one outlet that I grant myself access to once per day.
For me, it’s not about ignoring or denying the reality of our situation, rather it’s about recognizing the limitations of my conscious experience and that when my primary input is topics that trigger anger, fear, or frustration, then those become my primary experience. Reality is also something I create.
Not sure if this is relevant or matters to you, I just feel your struggle.
Is a college education worth his life cut short? I think I misspoke when I said the shot was like Russian Roulette. It's like RR with bullets in every chamber of the gun. The difference is if it will kill you quick or kill you slow. You are shooting a bullet into your body either way. For some, it hits the heart and they are dead within 24 hours. For others, it hits the brain and they have a stroke or nerve damage. Others it hits other various parts of the body that take more time to kill you. But the bullet is deadly and it will keep harming you if you put it in your body.
I love you. Thank you for ranting you couldn't have said it better. They'll probably bring back Trump to further divide the nation and get the rest of the Republican clones to take the death shot. Everyone whose had the shot will die. The virus will never die on those vaccinated. It has found a host that cannot kill it. It will proliferate and get stronger each year. The time has come. We are there. Call me crazy but I stand with the creator of the universe and I will die doing the right thing whether that is today, tomorrow or in 30 years. I fear nothing.
not to mention the whole " indefinitely confined" status voting allowed that went from like 450 on average each prior election cycle to close to 250,000 IN 2020 IN Wisconsin. That alone was astonishing to me
Wisconsin concludes the 250,000 are not legal voters but did nothing about it as the Wisconsin Supreme Court acknowledged it and offered no remedy (to President Trump).
There was covid, but they changed the rules to allow this...to allow a great deal of election fraud.
I didn't mention the court order against the WI Election Commission before the last election to remove about 120,000 (if I remember right) names from registration because of moves or death. The Commission fought the order and won, keeping those names on the rolls. Now it is suspected that 234K registered voters have moved or died and their names should be purged from the registration according to WI law. This is a current law suit. Why do you need a law suit if the law demands it? Why does the Election Commission disobey WI law?
Right on ignorant head in the sand borderline stupid can’t fix that or manage. The guy in Wisconsin wants t write a book your state even reports irregularities . Voter ID and not a lawful citizen by our immigration law,s that are fair. Try the crap that’s happening on our borders and demand the same from any country in the world first thing happens your butt in jail period
Same here in Georgia on both elections, with forthcoming illegal ballot harvesting whistleblower. A MILLION ballots for each election. As on the level as VAERS.
In both cases its not who votes its who counts the votes. Same with VAERS. Its a Government data tracking system. Its like the wolf protecting the hen house. Just sayin
The GA runoff showed us how bold and brazen they really are. I watched that election minute by minute. I went to bed and the Republican was up 120k votes with about 6M votes in 99% reported. 1% would be 60k votes. I woke and the republican lost and the vote swing was over 150k. Complete sham and HOW does NO ONE do anything?
Yup, Rino Robin Vos appointed former Supreme court judge Michael Gablemann as a special councile. Gableman himself did not expect to find what he found during investigation. His conclusion was "it should have NEVER been certified." He was mortified by the findings. So many fraud was committed by Soros, FB and DNC related NGO's and operatives. Yeah, I probably watched every one of those hearings and videos. It is infuriating as a citizen. Berenson has not looked into J6 nor 2020 election. He probably still believe Russian Hoax was real. I am really disappointed after all he has done with Covid research, and gone through the abuses he took. Still don't seem to see the truth.
If people actually believed there was a coup, and their vote didn't count, it might cause much greater than a riot and it would be justified. But the insurrection story is meant to turn around the narrative from a stolen election (the actual purpose of the protests), to attack Donald Trump and accuse him of inciting an insurrection; and, therefore, making it illegal for him to ever run for office again.
Sadly Trump went in with a full heart and Hilary was shocked she lost. But the full weight of the deep state stepped on his head. It's all a distraction and Trump has been compromised as ANY OF US WOULD if the lives of our children and grandchildren were threatened. There is no hope in public officials today
I disagree regarding compromise and the threat on your children and grandchildren. There is one type of person who can withstand that threat and that is a true Christian who serves God, not men.
Some of our founders were those type of men. Their families were surely threatened when they signed the Declaration of Independence. They were looking at the long term goal of true freedom and Christian liberty for their children and grandchildren. They obeyed God rather than men.
Lol! Oh really?? In 1776 you'd be the one telling George Washington it doesn't justify bloodshed. You are dead wrong. Sit on your ass until then come and take you, Gwen.
Tucker Carlson has a bigger platform and I believe he thinks the election was stolen, but he doesn't say it on his night time program. He may in time. He did affirm that on one of his TCToday shows.
I do not think he would have missed it IF he had taken the time as he does with the whu-flu data. research. I mean a man or woman only has so much time in a day...especially those who have children too. Just sayin. Maybe I am way off and Alex is locked in the same mass formation psychosis as those under the whu-flu spell. I do NOT KNOW :) OR maybe it's US locked in mass psychosis formation :)
Alex, you and I do not agree about the election. We can't prove the election was stolen. We shouldn't have to. We should be able to have confidence the elections were fair. It's on the election officials to demonstrate the elections were fair, and they just haven't done that. Surely you don't think they have.
It's your substack, and you can run it as you see fit. You're doing awesome work on covid. Just my opinion- you should stay in your covid lane, and away from the elections.
That said, if you choose to opine on the election from time to time, I'm not going to let that divide us. There's enough divisiveness as it is w/o having litmus test for people we'll consent to dialogue with.
I appreciate this comment, but disagree that he needs to stay in his lane. He has a right to express any view that he wants to. He didn't claim to be an expert or refute any of the really good points that readers are sharing here. I think that Alex would agree that EVERY journalist, every written piece, must be read with discernment. Readers really shouldn't take anyone's writing as absolute truth. Fact check Alex on Covid. He makes it easy to do this by providing sources. He would be disappointed if you didn't take a look at those sources. This is why I trust Alex's work....because he doesn't spout "facts", but rather does a tremendous amount of research and backs up his work. As far as the election opinion that he shared -- he told us that he hasn't focused on it and didn't provide sources to substantiate his opinion. So IMHO, that's all perfect! I read (okay, I skim) many different news sources every day. A few just to get a gauge on what others are reading and the ones that I read more carefully because they offer different focuses or perhaps I want to see how their versions of a story compare. As far as Alex goes, knowing that he doesn't toe a party line is a quality that makes him very credible to me.
People who say, "he has a right to express his view" after someone else has been criticized for a view they expressed make me laugh. As if it was wrong of me to express my view that he should stay in his lane?
If you can't see how you contradict yourself, Sandy, let me make it real clear- I have a right to express MY view too.
Oh my, I didn't intend to criticize you. I actually agreed with most of your comment and hoping to add nuance. Very sorry that wasn't clear. I'm not a fan of the "stay in your lane" sentiment, but certainly not criticizing you for your opinion. Just expressing my opinion which is a tad different.
I decided to read comments before commenting myself. Glad I did. Sandy said most of what I would have said. To Evil Incarnate, I don't see how disagreeing with you is criticizing you. One of the reasons I so enjoy these comments is disagreements are cordial with little name calling (see Twitter for the converse).
I know it's rigged we caught them. Ready? My dad lives here he is 92. He moved from Florida but still has a FL Drivers license and is registered there, he's been here 3 years. He is a registered republican in Florida. In about October 2020 we received a voter registration card detailing a person with the name of my father had registered to vote.

So yeah, there's not voter fraud?? BS. Our country is being stolen away because the elections are RIGGED.
Heh. No one has ever accused me of taking a middle course before. I'm scorched earth, take no prisoners. Don't believe me? Just ask my friends and family.
I agree, Alex is a rare bird. When you get to be an old fuck like me, you come to the realization, there aren't enough hours in the day for even the rare birds to excel at everything.
Again, just my opinion- Alex and all the rest of us will be best served if he continues to focus where he's excelling.
Al Rosen, you're right, Rigged is a great book so far... Obviously Im having sleep issues cuz I alternate Mollie with Kennedy Jr.'s Fauci book. For "lighter" reading my third book is Michael Connelly's new Renee Ballard and Bosche mystery, and Connelly was a former LA Times reporter before turning to fiction. Uh, different fiction. But Connelly holds his cards pretty close and in the past I couldn't guess his politics (which I prefer, Ive got Mollie and Kennedy on standby), but in this new one ("The Dark Hours") the lead character (an LAPD night shift detective!) hectors others to mask up and vaccinate, at least once a chapter. Man, people have kinda lost it.
Yes! You might be right about the hectoring cuz I've read all the Connellys (40 or so?) and don't remember any gratuitous political plugs, but all very well researched (especially Haller, imo)
Very funny, and I swear this is true and I wish I had said it and I had planned to: I also don't have as much time for my mystery novels as I once did - cuz the real truth, whatever it is out there, is a bigger mystery (to me) than any little book and Im hoping to get some answers somehow someway sometime soon. Thx for your reply Al!
Rosen are you another liberal that throws stones without explanation? Why don't you go ahead and tell us WTF you're talking about or you're nothing but a clanging gong.
The media has coordinated with big tech monopolies, governments, intelligence agencies and supranational organizations funded by oligarchs to spread lies and propaganda and label the truth 'misinformation' and 'conspiracy theories'. If they could do it for a global plandemic, why would they hesitate for one second to engineer the same thing in 5 counties in 5 states for an election that puts a demented corpse in the executive branch? People are so petrified of being called a "conspiracy theorist" by the conspirators that they'll refuse to speak the truth when it constantly slaps them in the face.
No Phil, they pulled out all the stops in 2020 and used the plandemic to ramp things up dramatically. On top of that everybody thought Clinton had it in the bag in 2016 (Watching Rachel Maddow smugly state this was fun a week before November).
"I know Tucker Carlson feels differently about Jan. 6 than I do, too. We disagree. I think Tucker is making too many excuses for what happened.
But Tucker has me on anyway! Tucker doesn’t tell his guests what to say, or demand that they meet ideological purity tests to come on. Neither does Joe Rogan."
Tucker Carlson's take on 1/6 is as nuanced as the event itself if you take the time to listen. He makes absolutely no apologies for any individual -- protestor or LEO -- who committed acts of violence. The number of actually violent people is small compared to the overall number of people that "stormed" the people's building. Most just carried flags and banners. The issue of course is that those flags and banners expressed unbridled support for the Forbidden One. And the total number of those who "breached" the Capital (funny how no one ever used the term during the previous 8 months of nearly continual violent riots -- but then those riots were allegedly held for an approved cause) is tiny compared to the overall number of Trump supporters who came to DC that day. A few hundred out of hundreds of thousands does not represent a "movement".
It is becoming increasingly clear that the FBI was as much a participant and a catalyst for 1/6 as it they were for the Whitmer kidnapping plot, as they have been countless times in their sordid history. That the DOJ still refuses to release what can only be exculpatory video footage of that day only confirms their subversion and involvement. Ray Epps who?
EDIT: RCP has a nice chart highlighting the differences between 1/6, the 2020 riots, and the 2017 "resistance" to Trump's inauguration. Worth a quick look.
Thanks. I did appreciate Alex's article, as I do with most everything he writes, I was only responding to the quote that Travis identified. I listen to a lot of TC and never once have a I heard him utter anything even close to an excuse for any of the violence, so I'm not sure where Alex derives this position from.
Exactly. There are plenty of facts about election fraud and January 6 th that you are ignoring, Alex. They may be inconvenient, but are facts, nonetheless . Wendy Rogers has a few election facts for you, to start with. The FBI has few on January 6......
I take some of what Berenson says with a grain of salt until I have verified it elsewhere. Having followed him for awhile, many of his biases are apparent. We all have them, so need to take another's information with that in mind.
He is making a valid point about journalism, but at the same time, it doesn't take a lot of sleuthing to determine that the election was far from clean and secure. He really ought to take a look.
Besides the suitcases and video of running piles of ballots multiple times.. there's also the latest discoveries in GA about ballot couriers dumping ballots into drop boxes for cash payment.. that's definitely above board.
Taking a "break" from counting is basically a universally recognized sign of shenanigans, at least it would be in any self-respecting third world country. In 5 states at the same time...???
And those states only stopped counting after it became clear that Trump only need one or two more states to win and Biden needed ALL of them. And then those late-night batches had percentages not seen anywhere else in the country!
Even before then, the BS was deep. The media calling states for Biden as soon as the polls closed, but waiting to call them for Trump until far far later. This gave the impression that Biden was always head, when in reality Trump was crushing it all night.
When Fox news didn't call Florida for Trump until after calling Arizona immediately is where I got nervous that night. And then it started to spiral. I was on the west coast, knowing something bad was going on, and then came Philly. And so on. When Alex throws out a few jabs like this Jan. 6th thing I get a little depressed cuz it's such an uphill battle to get the word out.
I tend to agree he hasn't researched this as much as the vaccine issue. I suspect like many of the substack writers, he was a liberal who is alarmed by the fascist behavior of this administration and horrible journalism for years. But it's hard for him to see all of this clearly. Has a hard time seeing he real depths of corruption and what these people are capable of. What they've done. But he IS right that we should have an exchange of ideas even when we don't agree. THAT I agree with.
I agree. Also, that he appears to have, with all due respect, a form of “Mass Formation Psychosis” in that he doesn’t recognize the dem party’s MAJOR role BEFORE BIDEN!
Can we thank the heavens that Alex has brought his Pharma experience to bear on the COVID nonsense? There are other more qualified journos to look at the Election/Jan 6 story - so leave them with that?
And he is totally qualified to share his opinion - he admits he did some limited digging into election fraud and found nothing.
In Atlanta I’ve been told the city is run by racists who barely allow a non-black or minority work in key positions. They have mandated masks again. Thank God the Govenor is a repub.
Kemp's a lying corrupt POS RINO. Undocumented Democrat. Thanks to him & his butt buddy SecState Ratburger, Ratsplooge or whatever his rat name is, Trump "lost" Georgia and Rs "lost" both US Senate seats.
I have a question. In Fulton County, on election night..what do YOU suggest was happening on video, when ballots were rolled out from under a table, and fed through the machines multiple times, after people were told to go home and counting would resume in the morning? In all seriousness, what is the legitimate explanation for that?
broken pipe, everyone go home we'll pick up in the am, boxes come out from under tables, counting continues. Alex is an excellent investigative reporter but he's going to stick his fingers in his ears and his head in the sand on this. Will he talk to anyone about those incidents caught on tape? NOPE!! Will he talk to anyone about the AZ audit? NOPE!!
I enjoyed Pandemia and I'm glad he wrote it but I also realize it's the byproduct of the axes he has to grind with twitter and thompson. Election fraud? Find another reporter.
I have to comment here. Alex wrote four pamphlets on various aspects of the Covid response well before his twitter ban.He may have an axe to grind with Twitter (so do many others), and I don't understand who Thompson is, but I know for certain that Pandemia is not simply a byproduct of axes he has to grind; the book provides an excellent history of how we got here.
Thompson is Derek Thompson, the Atlantic writer who called Alex "the pandemic's wrongest man". I liked the book, that's just my opinion on the motivation. Considering he devoted chapters to each...hey, I'd be ticked off too.
Last of the Mohicans is one of my favorite movies ever. I first saw it on a huge old-time screen. It felt as if I was actually in the nature scenes, they were so beautiful.
IMO there is no point arguing this with Berenson. His focus on Covid has left him less to largely uninformed on other issues. He has missed some information on Covid (he did last night on Tucker), so like all of us, he makes mistakes in his data and analyses. Where he makes a really big mistake is pontificating on his admittedly uninformed opinion. People adopt that uninformed opinion because of his national recognition and reputation for accuracy, where he isn't here.
The mid-night ballot drops all caught on surveillance cameras were not enough to overcome the landslide. Team blue needed to protect democracy from the voters. If that's not legitimate then what is?
I respectfully disagree, but if you take the "multiple times" out, what is the explanation for the rest of it? There was no water main break, they sent everyone but a select group home, they said counting would resume in the am, then it resumed shortly thereafter; with ballots from underneath a table with a tablecloth. This is not SOP.
It's important to read/watch rebuttals then rebuttals to the rebuttals to get to the the truth.
I looked into multiple cases of alleged vote fraud and each time (just like Alex) came up empty-handed. My sense is that most people who claim vote fraud take the presenting story and never go to the next step, which is to seek out if there is a reasonable explanation.
Nice dodge at providing a specific response to a specific question. There is no rebuttal that is not a lie regarding Ruby, Shay, & their cohorts running those hidden ballots through multiple times.
Did you know it's against GA law, apparently, to have skirts on the tables at the counting centers? In any event, why have skirts on the tables? Why hide anything??? Why were the observers kept so far away???
Even if Corona was a legit threat, which is was not, why not make sure every area has a high res feed for observers "distanced" for safety? Why tell observers to leave and then count more ballots???
What's the logical explanation for sending the press and observers home for a fake water main break just to start running ballots through that were hidden under a table as soon as everyone left? You do realize that there are videos of the mainstream media reporting that this happened in real time and saying how bizarre it was?
Alex, you have done a lot of good research on Covid and the "vaccines." Your work on that topic is much needed and highly appreciated. You have not done any research on the elections and the PSYOP that the FBI conducted on Jan 6. Try starting with the Revolver pieces and work you way backward or forward. This post is unreadable. Sorry.
Here is the thing - if you don't read pieces contrary to your 'facts' you are no better than the people you criticize. And then very slowly, sometimes quickly, you turn into them
The NYT and Atlantic lie constantly about everything, in favor of the Establishment that owns the country, and has owned it since the "Aristocratic Party" got its Constitution ratified by the same means as used in 2020: "We the Aristocratic party of the United States, lamenting the many inconveniences to which the late confederation subjected the well-born, the better kind of people, bringing them down to the level of the rabble -- and holding in utter detestation that frontispiece to every bill of rights, "that all men are born equal" -- beg leave (for the purpose of drawing a line between such as we think were ordained to govern, and such as were made to bear the weight of government without having any share in its administration) to submit to our Friends in the first class for their inspection, the following defense of our monarchical, aristocratical democracy. ..." http://resources.utulsa.edu/law/classes/rice/Constitutional/AntiFederalist/09.htm.
Judith Miller and WMD and the rest of that nonsense and prevarication are but one instance in a long, long line of lies pushed by those two "distinguished" publications. The only saving grace for the NYT is that it publishes decent crossword puzzles.
That would make great sense if you are talking about a well-presented argument or even a poorly-presented argument. I am perfectly happy to read anyone's argument about anything of interest - even things as dubious (to me) as the notion that the earth is flat. I just did so not more than a week ago. What I refuse to do is read a piece that starts out with a statement like "I don't care what you think, the earth is flat. Now, let's move on from there."
Alex is the bridge we need to lead the sheep across. The man knows what he's doing. Trump and Jan 6th are a good way to hook those who might not otherwise read this piece or listen to Alex...they are not the point of this article. This country needs centrists to bring us together now more than ever.
My feelings about Jan 6th are this. It wasn't a huge threat. Julie Kelly has done great investigative reporting on it; I hope you look at some of her work. Should Americans have trespassed? No. But that's all it was. Nothing more. No one was armed. It was not an armed insurrection and to call it such, is false (not saying that you did, but most in the media are).
As an American I am disgraced with how corrupt our capitol police and FBI are. To have American citizens in jail, in solitary confinement, with few privileges, all because they trespassed, for almost a year? How about the lefties who stormed the senate Hart building? To not see the inequitable treatment of the situations is to be blind.
Those who trespassed should have been fined and this should have been over. That's it. But the GOP is a joke and few will even look into how the J-6 detainees are being treated. The Dems are out for political blood and will do anything to those who don't support their agenda. Full stop.
so disgusting for sure how the GOP does not assist those who have been charged with no crimes still locked up in Washington. The majority of those detained still have no criminal history either. It's a disgrace especially with how we see perps who have literally killed others out on like $500 bail across the land.
Trump hasn't done Pf-ck all for them either. And it was his narcissism, his coy failure to discredit Q and similar "pro-Trump" psyops that enabled Agent Provocateurs like Ray Epps to trick these harmless fools into the capitol. Trump could've saved their lives at the stroke of a pen along with Julian Assange, but he pardoned bank robbers, drug dealers, rappers, toadies and celebs instead. Another reason I'm done with the son of a bitch.
There ya go. I agree with Alex and I support his research on the Covid vaccines, and on Covid. I guess he and I can agree to disagree about the seriousness, or lack thereof, of Jan. 6. Especially considering all the riots prior to Jan. 6th- the burning, the looting, the death, the destruction- all of which was glossed over by the MSM- including breaking into the capitol building during the Kavanaugh hearings. Our government has thrown mere trespassers into the gulag, apparently forever, without a fair hearing or trial or bail- besides, it was a setup. Just ask Pelosi, the FBI, and the Capitol police.
Personally I don't know any Trump supporters who are in favor of breaking windows, vandalizing public property or stealing laptops. None. You had over a million people gathered in one location and a small number got out of hand. Unfortunately the FBI has so muddied the waters with shadowy "informants" that the cases ultimately are going to collapse just as the Governor Whitmer kidnapping case is in the process of doing.
Right. This whole thing is the fault of the GOP. They should have ALL stood up and asked for an investigation like the Democrats would have done (and SAID they would do) if things were reversed. Trump shouldn't have had to rely on protests the way he did and there were way too many irregularities--the GOP is a complete JOKE. Even now, you don't hear most of them fighting these people on much. There are a few, thank God.
God Bless The Magnificent Six who stood in the Senate, and over 100 in the house, to block certification and call for an emergency audit.
Josh Hawley
John Kennedy
Cindy Hyde-Smith
Roger Marshall
Tommy Tuberville
Anyone who voted to certify EITHER AZ or PA is a coward and scumbag.
Per new info from Lekimball, list edited to Remove Ted Cruz, who has now called Jan 6 a "terrorist attack". Now it's a missing man formation. Cruz is dead to me.
Yes, but Ted Cruz just called Jan. 6th a terrorist attack. He's a smart guy and NO idea why he did that. Some political calculation. A couple of the GOP who didn't like blocking the certification had problems with it because they didn't want to usurp states' rights. Like Mike Lee. But Pence just could have sent it back and had each state re-look at it, I think. He didn't have to accept the alternate electors. Why Cruz just did that is a mystery. It got out of hand but it wasn't a terrorist attack.
Thanks for that info. Done with Ted Cruz. Mike Lee's & Rand Paul's case for certification was disingenuous Orwellian doubletalk. States have no right to steal state elections let alone federal elections. No right to disenfranchise their own voters let alone those of other states. The FedGov has a DUTY to step in:
Art IV, Sec 4, U.S. Constitution: "The U.S. shall guarantee to every state a republican form of government..."
*REPUBLICAN*. Not *Banana Republican*.
They said it'd be wrong to "overturn the election" & reverse what "the states" decided. Stopping coups is the opposite of overturning elections. "The states" didn't decide it's ok for some states to steal from their own & other states' voters. Texas & many others opposed it but were snubbed for "no standing" by our Commie / Blue-Light Federalist Society SupCt, with the exception of loyal justices Alito & Thomas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_light_federalists
Lee's a rent boy for Silicon Valley, various corporate & mass immigration special interests. Paul's a confused, maybe blackmailed or cowed "Libertarian" who still covers for the BIG "safe & effective" LIE.
Well, I get their problem with it. But again, Pence could have told them to resolve the discrepancy, do some investigation and resubmit the electors. I'm not arguing that this thing w as stolen, but they needed to go through a process to prove this. Which got shot down every step of the way. Pence was worried that contesting it would rip the country apart even though I suspect he knew it was shaky (and he was worried about his own political career) -- as Nixon was when he lost to Kennedy, etc. Republicans always think they should take the high road. Must always look good. Not fighters like Democrats are. They should have ALL insisted on an investigation of that -- even if it turned out as it did. As you know, I don't see Rand Paul that way. He has never claimed the vaccines were safe and effective that I've heard. He took Malone's position that it was not for everyone. He's against mandates. Certainly natural immunity should count.
He's a doctor and not against all vaccines. Like Malone and even McCullough. His father publishes constantly on Lew Rockwell's libertarian site about Fauci and freedom. He is presently leaving Youtube because they censored his criticism of Fauci. He is trying more than anyone else I see. Even DeSantis doesn't really take Fauci on. though he takes on this fascism every step of the way. I think you are being too hard on him. And though I didn't like his position and Mike Lee's position, it did make some sense. They didn't have personal knowledge of states they didn't represent. AGain, Pence could have handled it differently. Trump was right he was a coward. He didn't have to accept Trump's electors. But he could have asked them to investigate and resubmit. The Democrats never would have been cowards. Who are you going to support in 2024?
No sale. Rand Paul was all over Breitbart & other places for weeks before 1/6 spreading his Orwellian arguments against holding up cert for an audit as was done in the late 1800s, lobbying other legislators. The damage he did was enormous. Even Deep Snake Pence didn't do that. Just betrayed us at the end.
Rand's cowardly "Vax is not for everyone" stand is actually worse than Trump's position, since Rand's an M.D. and knows better. "You shouldn't have to take it" is no better than Trump's coy position. Like Trump, Rand is doing NOTHING to expose the grave danger, not to the people he recommends it to, and not for the rest either. It's his duty to blow the whistle. Guilt by silence. He's part of the denial of informed consent.
SEN. TED CRUZ (R-TX): "We are approaching a solemn anniversary this week, and it is an anniversary of a violent terrorist attack on the Capitol where we saw the men and women of law enforcement demonstrate incredible courage, incredible bravery, risked their lives to defend the men and women who serve in this Capitol."
Yes, Tucker reported on it last night. Tucker also said he was a brilliant guy and never did anything that didn't have a specific purpose. So it's worrisome.
Yes, that narrative will destroy us in the mid-terms. He obviously thinks it won't. I see Greg below thinks he's playing to the independents to run for president. He's a brilliant guy, but I don't trust him. I'd much rather have DeSantis.
Hm. He's a smart guy but I've never really trusted him. He has been useful and didn't do revenge on Trump which surprised me, but I'd rather have DeSantis for sure.
Nope. Cruz is delusional if he thinks he will keep "the base". Dumbass can't even keep his own Texas base. Nearly lost to Beta. And that idiotic Cancun stunt won't be forgotten, bailing on Texas like an elitist while the little people froze. Revealing. Too smart by half. Not thrilled with his Goldman Sachs wife either.
GOP for the "most part" are indeed weak and wimpy. Talk a lot huff and puff when they are seen on media, but in the end most simply seek re-election and do not walk the walk and hold those they should to real accountability
As someone who went to DC on 1/6/21 to protest the election fraud, I can tell you that we're not being told the whole story on how unarmed civilians were able to breach the capitol building. There were hundreds of thousands of people in town for the protest. Security was heavy everywhere on the streets. The capitol, by comparison, was completely unguarded and we've even seen video of capitol police letting people in. Why was this the case when every street had a national guard or DC police roadblock? Imagine if instead of a couple of hundred unarmed civilians, we had half a dozen well-armed jihadists trying to gain access to the building. They would have killed everyone inside the building within minutes. The media has abdicated its responsibility to get to the truth.
Yes, it always seemed weird to me how unguarded the capitol was too, but to all of the commentators who have come to find out unreported truths here and are unhappy with Alex Berenson's choice of words on this one, how do you feel about the operation "Warp speed" and the ex-president Trump being not even doubly vaccinated, but also boosted, and on top of having had a natural infection well treated too? The split-loyalties are confusing me.
It's almost as if the media has coordinated with big tech monopolies, governments, intelligence agencies and supranational organizations funded by oligarchs to spread lies and propaganda and label the truth 'misinformation' and 'conspiracy theories'. If they could do it for a global plandemic, why would they hesitate to engineer the same thing in 5 counties in 5 states for an election that puts a demented corpse in the executive branch? Too bad there's nobody on substack writing about all this 'big collusion' in depth whose been researching it for years. A shame really.
"They are the truth as far as I can tell and from my (limited) reporting"
Obvious keyword: LIMITED. Reminds me of F. Scott Fitzgerald:
“An artist is someone who can hold two opposing viewpoints and still remain fully functional.”
You 1: ~"Every institution is lying and covering up on covid and vaccines."
You 2: ~"Every institution is telling the truth on the election results." (Even though they fight tooth and nail to oppose audits and destroy evidence). Then wave your hands around and deflect to other issues we can agree on.
Disappointing. You seem to have no idea what you're talking about on this issue because you simply don't want to know. Your opinion on THIS issue is purely opinion, unworthy of the word "reporting" let alone investigative journalism. It is worthy of the NY Times, however.
That said, you're a national treasure, otherwise a great journalist, and God Bless you.
That said, God bless him for his covid work, but he should be openminded, diligent and responsible on the election theft issue before mouthing off on it.
It seems to me Alex has blinders on his head about the origin of the "novel" coronavirus (the gain-of-function-enhanced coronavirus) and the "vaccines" too. Nevertheless, l think his work is valuable as far as it goes.
We can hope that he'll expand his perspective over time, right? I hope he does. But I honestly don't have high hopes for anyone to change. What would spur him to do so?
How "disgusting" and "dangerous" can trespassing really be?
Let's put people in solitary confinement for a year over a "disgusting" trespassing offence.
Let's not look into how much state involvement there was in ginning up the trespassing.
Let's have judges sentence people based on whether they recant their support for a politician, or whether they consume media from a disallowed source.
After two years of Russia hoaxes and two politically-motivated sham impeachments, let's have a sham select committee to finish converting America into a one-party state.
Sick of the disgusting moral equivalence. Alex you are wrong on this and Mr. Carlson is right.
Nobody agrees with people rioting at the capitol. And I don't know a conservative who doesn't think they should be punished. Or a libertarian. It was not an "insurrection." It was a protest. And Tucker is right, the FBI was inciting it just like they did on the Whitmer kidnapping. They had a guy the day before telling them to go in the building. There were at least 14 of those people in the kidnapping (more than they could actually recruit despite paying for hotel bills and trying to get them to recruit people and do all this), so you know those same people were there Jan. 6th doing the same garbage. Nancy Pelosi refused National Guard help because they WANTED that to happen and they were overjoyed it did. Just enough to play it into this huge narrative that all the never-Trumpers could spin. And yes, they should be out by now. I can guarantee you Donald Trump didn't want that to happen--it was the worst possible thing for him. But overall, I hear you. You are basically right about this.
Alex I think its great you have a big tent. You aren't required to believe the same things I am. And vice versa. That's such a relief.
When Joe Rogan gets 10 million views, and CNN gets 1 million, that just gives you a sense where things are going. Mainstream media is a dying industry. This makes them desperate. Desperate people do desperate things. And, sadly, very few people "stop digging" when they are at the bottom of a deep hole.
A few questions worth contemplating, who is Ray Epps and why is he not locked up with the other "insurrectionists?" What about Jaden X? Is he rotting in jail for trespassing with the "insurrectionists?" Who was a better citizen Ashli Babbitt or George Fentanyl Floyd?
The most secure election ever!
Brought to you by the same people that brought you the most safe and effective vaccines.
More than one world renown statistician has said Biden's 65-45 lead in mail-in ballots on election day turning to many 95-5, in the big cities after midnight, was statistically impossible. I don't know what, or who, Alex is listening to but he needs to put his TDS aside and look at these late returns with a neutral eye.
If you cheat and lie about ONE thing, why would you not about TWO things? You are already a cheater and a liar! 1) vaccines 2) elections
RUSSIA!!! UKRAINE!!! 2016 WAS STOLEN!!!
Not one thing. Many things, always in the se direction, so not mistakes. Actual journalism would have uncovered so much, and would put us inuch better shape with covid.
So it was only the democrats who organised the election, no republicans were involved?
Don't you remember Republican poll watchers being excluded from vote counts and windows into ballot rooms covered? I volunteered to be a poll worker in Las Cruces. I had to state my political affiliation, Republican. I was never called back, even though they said they had a shortage.
I forgot the name of the person who was ex Navy.. was asked to be a PA poll watcher by GOP or Trump admin. He said he was one of the few.. and was banned from going up to where the counting was done. He had to call lawyers and voter advocate organization to let in.. yet he was kept 20-30ft away from the nearest ballots. He called WH, warned them to send people there.. because there were 100s of Dem NGO activists walking around where he was not permitted to go anywhere near. WH people told him to go home and get some rest.. Trump is leading by 650.000. so, no worry.(that was around midnight. election day.) Next morning, he found Trump losing by 100.000.
Democrats have been advocating for voter harvesting for years. It seems like in 2020; they finally got their way.
Mass mail-in ballots, too. Another sure fire fraud machine but also a way to ensure that stoners and slackers (who routinely vote D but don't routinely vote for, well, obvious reasons). I suspect the number of S&S voters in 2020 was enormous.
Got their way?? CA has been rigged since the 90s
Voter harvesting, vote buying, motor Voter, drop box, same day registration, and now universal mail-in voting. What can go wrong? and we use those machines too. I am so sick and tired of this state. Till 2020, I still had hope to fix this state, but, no longer. with so many illegals and so many are illiterate.. So many don't even have critical thinking. There is a reason why Demonrats want voters stupid.
Plenty of GOP wanted things to return to "business as usual" in DC
Swamp is gonna swamp just like the virus. So which is worse?
Exactly, especially Mitch McConnell. He got whatever he wanted, but would not give Trump voters what they wanted, which was a wall, including Ryan of course. But Trump caved, too.
The phrase too corrupt to govern comes to mind. By that I mean all people and parties within the DC area. There is an obvious disconnect between the so called “ruling class” in Washington and they rest of the country. To the point that it’s rather apparent that there is seemingly no concern beyond “I’m getting what’s mine” or making sure lobbying money doesn’t dry up
Hind sight... probably after 2016, we should have made a new party if we knew there were so freaking many RINOs in Republican party. They collect donation using Trump and DeSantis,'s names and have no intention of supporting America First candidates.
Very true Al. In fairness some Republicans fought hard, but so many were quiet in the face of Nov 5th headlines like "Officials Say Voting Was, Like, Best in All History, Jesus H Christ It Was Good". (The Time magazine piece about the groups coming together to "safeguard democracy" was literally breathtaking, and "literally" isn't hyperbole). But as we see with the vaccines, many people turn a blind eye, thinking "Not in America". That blind eye should be on VAERS.
No. Republicans did not fight other than a few. They were all RINO, and was complicit. That is why conservatives voters are pissed. Pardon my French.
The USA is in the mess it's in because the Media in this country has long forgotten it's 1st Amendment duty to hold the feet of Politicians, Bureaucrats , and Corporate executives to the fire. The Media is supposed to be the Watch Dog for the people, but instead is the Lap Dog of the establishment. Their duty is to lie, manipulate, obfuscate by any means to protect the elite. Nothing will change until the MSM loves their children more than the greed and power afforded them from the establishment.
They are OWNED by the establishment, lapdog, not hardly.
Concur…media is doing exactly what their owners want and succeeding very well. I don’t watch news and rarely even glance at the paper. I’m feeling less angst. 😎
"Donald Trump lost." -- Alex Berenson
"Here's the truth about vaccines." -- Alex Berenson
And there goes his credibility.
Alex left the door open but he has to maintain the professional class disdain for President Trump. Later, he'll write about Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin and maybe PA when it gets more obvious. He just won't go there today.
Too bad, because Election Theft 2020 ain't dead. It's heating up. See Georgia with the amazing investigative work using mobile technology public records "True the Vote" did. Amazing! 😻
A more intellectually honest position would be to reserve judgement and admit that there are important, unresolved questions that need to be answered before making categorical statements of fact.
Same position that Alex holds about the shots and claims that they're "safe and effective."
I have seen the numbers and videos and other facts - facts that the courts will not entertain - with my own eyes and intellect. I have made my assessment based on readily available but mostly suppressed facts. Biden is as legitimate as the 'vaccines' are safe and effective.
Right? "Who you gonna trust, me or your lying eyes?"
Totally agree.
That's exactly right. I will be willing to admit Trump lost when I have my questions about that election answered, as I stated WHY DID THE COUNTING STOP IN 4-6 SWING STATES ON ELECTION NIGHT....anyone....anyone? Crickets about this and its THE major issue.
On Fox election night coverage: Trump is up, Vegas odds change to his favor, The Chinese Yen takes a dive, counting stops. Then half an hour later counting resumes with Biden up over Trump the same amount he was down before counting stopped.
I just wish I'd have recorded that show.
There are other suspects too. CO. VA, NV... Im sure there are more.
Woo hoo! let's hear it for Ted Cruze! What a disappointment.
Agree and then at 6 am, tens of thousands of votes are mysteriously added to Biden's count in those same states. How did that happen when THE COUNTING HAD STOPPED! Which is it?
Alex elected (pardon the pun) to limit his conclusion to what he could discover in the immediate days after the election. He's going to leave it there until it's overwhelming and undeniable. That day will come and has already for many if not most American voters.
I have been, and still am a skeptic on the stolen election. Yesterday I read two articles about True the Voters efforts in Georgia. The GA Secy of State (no Trump acolyte) has agreed to investigate (the governor wasn't interested). So I await further information eagerly.
Hear Hear! Exactly!
And you believe you have credibility with such a childishly simplistic view?
I never said I had credibility.
I never said you did, either.
Yes, of course, how silly of me; I forgot that we are in some sort of postmodernist, epistemological nihilistic wasteland.
People come to different conclusions based on the available data/evidence. It appears to me that ALL the bases are covered with these two issues: There are people who think Trump lost and also think these vaccines are great; there are people who think Trump won and also think these vaccines are great. And all the other permutations, on and on.
You're doing just great.
I know, right? It's so bizarre that a very smart and appropriately cynical man doesn't see that the water's edge of one massive coverup might bump against the water's edge of another, especially when the goals are so similar. Thanks for your post Nomad
Yeah, it's Gell-Mann Amnesia. All the same people in media and government who have been proven liars on issue after issue, whether it's "vaccines stop the spread" or "This Tweet is COVID misinformation and you're banned" and on and on –– they're all the same people telling us that the 2020 election was legit.
But sadly, otherwise intelligent people like Alex get suckered into taking known liars at their word due to confirmation bias. Clearly Alex is no fan of Trump . Neither am I, to be honest. Difference is, Alex is letting his TDS color his thinking on this. "Surely this known liar is being honest about this one thing that I want to believe is true."
Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus. Scratch a liar, find a thief.
There is just as much evidence for the statement "The 2020 election was fishy as hell," as there is for the statement "Donald Trump lost." If one is being intellectually honest, one has to admit that this thing doesn't sit right. Coming out and saying "Donald Trump lost" is just myopic.
Sorry, we have to stop reporting real-time results in the swing states that Trump is winning in. Nothing to see here. (Just need to load some biden-only votes in the wee hours of the morning.)
Jon. My take… in 2020 44 states got the results within 4 to 5 hours after the polls closed. In 6 states, iit was way too difficult to count so late ( I dunno, lighting, not enough water, no coffee. Whatever the excuse) so they all decided to stop counting at the SAME time to try again the next day, or two days later or the next week.
A breathtakingly abnormal move and about the same as a bully smearing sh!t on your face and daring you to say it’s sh!t.
But the kicker is this. The so called Republican Party did NOTHING. Because they were all IN ON IT.
I changed my affiliation from republican to unaffiliated a week post election. Also, never voting again. Because it matters not. Not even close. The UniCapitalCrony party of Washington DC does what it wants when it wants. I am not even going to consider playing their game. “Every vote Counts!” Sure it does! Until the Vote Counter takes a look at the ballot.
So what if Donald Trump had been re-installed. We get the same policies, just under a different name. DYOD.
Not sure we'd get the same policies with Trump, for instance the southern border. Biden halted construction on the wall, got rid of Remain, had said (In primary) "surge the border", and sent messages, literally and by actions, over and over, that crossing illegally is ok. They did and it continues, growing in number. Obviously there are many more examples of policy differences but this one alone is major and life affecting.
Apparently, you are not paying attention. Biden and Trump's policies are the same? Lol.
They are polar opposite. Are you just joking?
Point made!
wow
Amen
Bullseye....Bingo!
How true! Spot on. Love the pithy post!
Succinctly stated. Bravo!
He's but one reporter and his focus is covid, not the stolen election. There is much evidence of election fraud here in Wisconsin. I could write several paragraphs describing it. Bottom line, there were not 80 million people who voted for Sleepy Joe Biden when 75 million voted for Donald Trump. Both those totals are more than any other president in history at the same time....highly unlikely...actually impossible.
12 000 000 more voters for the dementia patient than Obama, if that doesn't raise suspicions what would
and 25 million more voters in this last election than ever before...that's not suspicious.
Well, I can see Trump increasing his voters turn out, after all the guy was constantly on the campaign trail (have you seen his rallies?). On the other hand when the dementia patient was awake and out of the basement (few times in the whole campaign) he was able to get doesn't people to listen to him (mostly reporters) and yet 12M more than Obama (that didn't need to read from teleprompter) got out to vote for him, that's the suspicious part.
I know I'm late to this party, but what was up with the tight shots of Brandon at those rallies by Fox cameras? Trump has stadium filling wide shots, but you never got to see how pathetic the turnouts for Brandon were. If you are going to cover it, cover it equally.
My bad!
Anyone who thinks the election was not rigged is not even worth talking too.
Alex doesn't think it was rigged. I am sure he has not seen what I have seen and studied. https://www.conservativeglobe.com/articles/wisconsin-sure-has-a-lot-of-124-year-old-registered-voters-on-its-rolls/
"Let’s not forget that on November 6, 2020 – three days after Election Day was over – the Chair of the Federal Election Commission stated on live TV that we were all watching voter fraud take place right in front of us. Chairman Trey Trainor was referring to Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, and Wisconsin, which were all taking days and days and days to “count” the ballots without allowing any Republican observers into the counting rooms.
Could it really be possible that a conspiracy of that magnitude took place in Wisconsin? I’ll believe that before you ever convince me that Rock County, Wisconsin has 8,550 living voters who are older than Thelma Sutcliffe."
23,266 voters were all registered with the same Wisconsin phone number.
8,550 voters first registered to vote in Wisconsin in 1918.
Wisconsin HOT also discovered an addition 45 phone numbers that are shared by 900 registered voters.
In Rock County, 900 voters were registered at the same address.
543,000 voters in Wisconsin have no officially recorded date of registration.
I know it's rigged we caught them. Ready? My dad lives here he is 92. He moved from Florida but still has a FL Drivers license and is registered there, he's been here 3 years. He is a registered republican in Florida. In about October 2020 we received a voter registration card detailing a person with the name of my father had registered to vote. BUT there was one issue, the first and last name were exact BUT the middle initial was wrong and there was a junior at the end of the name. He is not a junior. We went to vote with it to SEE what would happen. When we got there we found out this person was registered as a democrat AND HAD ALREADY VOTED. I have a special name database i have access through for my work. My fathers name is not common, I checked the name that was on the Voter reg card and that person doesn't exist in CA. So yeah, there's not voter fraud?? BS. Our country is being stolen away because the elections are RIGGED.
P.S. I sent all this info to Project Veritas
Yep. 100% agree. That’s why when you go to vote in Ca and you try to present your ID they laugh at you and say put that away. You don’t need that here! Then if you try to see if your vote was cast correctly in CA they tell you there is no way to verify that.
And yet. All that evidence and nothing changes. Nothing gets done. Nobody reports on it. No one prints the proof of it. I believed from the minute I woke up on nov 4Th or was it the 5th. So long ago it seems.. It was stolen. I’m now glad Trump is not in there because I see him in a whole different light after all this. I hate that Biden is in there. The only person I see fit right now to hold that office is Ron DeSantis and he has things he needs to work on too! He has been quiet on these vaccines like all other Republicans so I’m not sure what is up with that. Honestly. I wish there was a third party. I don’t trust democrats or republicans and this whole vaccine scandal proves our government is completely corrupted. Can our country recover from this?? Only time will tell. So many people are putting trust In These upcoming 2022 elections! Why? Do you really think they will be fair?? The Democrats have perfected voter fraud. Do you really believe Gov Newsome was voted to remain in office?? I think tax paying people in CA knew for sure this man was corrupt. How can anyone in CA be happy with the way this state is governed?? It’s a mess! But the rich people in their summer homes saying just leave well enough alone. Nancy Pelosi just bought a 22 million home in Florida of all places! To add to all her other homes ( one of which is in Napa) Even she wants out of this crappy state with it’s over the top taxes, with its shitty roads and garbage lined highways( except in Sacramento of course) and tents everywhere you go with homeless shitting in the streets. Yea. California. A prophet on the burning shore! Even Bob Weir and the Grateful Dead have sold out. Good ole CA boys getting in good with the politicians. You know it’s bad when the once liberal hippies are now pushing the government propaganda. Bob Weir won’t even play at any venue unless every single person is vaccinated and masked up! He doesn’t even care if you have medical or religious exemption or you have natural immunity. Nope. Even Bob Weir says you are not welcome here unless you comply with the government! Ok. Well thanks for letting me rant people. I know I was all over the board but I just needed to get a few things off my mind. I’m so depressed at the state of this country right now. In 2 weeks my son will be forced to take the booster so he can remain at Berkeley college. He survived brain surgery. I hope he beats the odds and wins in this Russian Roulette vaccine! I’ve been trying to get someone at Berkeley to meet with me so I can present the data against these vaccines but no one will give me the time of day. Also my 2 daughters are vaxxed and probably going to get the boosters. Am I being over dramatic? I could lose all my kids to these poison shots and I have no one to help me! I am the only one not vaxxed in almost all my family and circle of friends. Where to go to escape this madness??? HELP
You are not alone. The only action that has helped me lately is to avoid reading news, avoid videos, podcasts, avoid anything discussing vaccines, politics, anything that triggers me. I realize that I’m writing this on THE source for vax info, I do that because this is the one outlet that I grant myself access to once per day.
For me, it’s not about ignoring or denying the reality of our situation, rather it’s about recognizing the limitations of my conscious experience and that when my primary input is topics that trigger anger, fear, or frustration, then those become my primary experience. Reality is also something I create.
Not sure if this is relevant or matters to you, I just feel your struggle.
Is a college education worth his life cut short? I think I misspoke when I said the shot was like Russian Roulette. It's like RR with bullets in every chamber of the gun. The difference is if it will kill you quick or kill you slow. You are shooting a bullet into your body either way. For some, it hits the heart and they are dead within 24 hours. For others, it hits the brain and they have a stroke or nerve damage. Others it hits other various parts of the body that take more time to kill you. But the bullet is deadly and it will keep harming you if you put it in your body.
I love you. Thank you for ranting you couldn't have said it better. They'll probably bring back Trump to further divide the nation and get the rest of the Republican clones to take the death shot. Everyone whose had the shot will die. The virus will never die on those vaccinated. It has found a host that cannot kill it. It will proliferate and get stronger each year. The time has come. We are there. Call me crazy but I stand with the creator of the universe and I will die doing the right thing whether that is today, tomorrow or in 30 years. I fear nothing.
not to mention the whole " indefinitely confined" status voting allowed that went from like 450 on average each prior election cycle to close to 250,000 IN 2020 IN Wisconsin. That alone was astonishing to me
Wisconsin concludes the 250,000 are not legal voters but did nothing about it as the Wisconsin Supreme Court acknowledged it and offered no remedy (to President Trump).
There was covid, but they changed the rules to allow this...to allow a great deal of election fraud.
I didn't mention the court order against the WI Election Commission before the last election to remove about 120,000 (if I remember right) names from registration because of moves or death. The Commission fought the order and won, keeping those names on the rolls. Now it is suspected that 234K registered voters have moved or died and their names should be purged from the registration according to WI law. This is a current law suit. Why do you need a law suit if the law demands it? Why does the Election Commission disobey WI law?
Right on ignorant head in the sand borderline stupid can’t fix that or manage. The guy in Wisconsin wants t write a book your state even reports irregularities . Voter ID and not a lawful citizen by our immigration law,s that are fair. Try the crap that’s happening on our borders and demand the same from any country in the world first thing happens your butt in jail period
Is that English?
Same here in Georgia on both elections, with forthcoming illegal ballot harvesting whistleblower. A MILLION ballots for each election. As on the level as VAERS.
In both cases its not who votes its who counts the votes. Same with VAERS. Its a Government data tracking system. Its like the wolf protecting the hen house. Just sayin
The GA runoff showed us how bold and brazen they really are. I watched that election minute by minute. I went to bed and the Republican was up 120k votes with about 6M votes in 99% reported. 1% would be 60k votes. I woke and the republican lost and the vote swing was over 150k. Complete sham and HOW does NO ONE do anything?
Wisconsin from what I have followed was ground zero of the swing states debacle in 2020
Yup, Rino Robin Vos appointed former Supreme court judge Michael Gablemann as a special councile. Gableman himself did not expect to find what he found during investigation. His conclusion was "it should have NEVER been certified." He was mortified by the findings. So many fraud was committed by Soros, FB and DNC related NGO's and operatives. Yeah, I probably watched every one of those hearings and videos. It is infuriating as a citizen. Berenson has not looked into J6 nor 2020 election. He probably still believe Russian Hoax was real. I am really disappointed after all he has done with Covid research, and gone through the abuses he took. Still don't seem to see the truth.
Agree but that doesn't justify riots.
If people actually believed there was a coup, and their vote didn't count, it might cause much greater than a riot and it would be justified. But the insurrection story is meant to turn around the narrative from a stolen election (the actual purpose of the protests), to attack Donald Trump and accuse him of inciting an insurrection; and, therefore, making it illegal for him to ever run for office again.
Sadly Trump went in with a full heart and Hilary was shocked she lost. But the full weight of the deep state stepped on his head. It's all a distraction and Trump has been compromised as ANY OF US WOULD if the lives of our children and grandchildren were threatened. There is no hope in public officials today
I disagree regarding compromise and the threat on your children and grandchildren. There is one type of person who can withstand that threat and that is a true Christian who serves God, not men.
Some of our founders were those type of men. Their families were surely threatened when they signed the Declaration of Independence. They were looking at the long term goal of true freedom and Christian liberty for their children and grandchildren. They obeyed God rather than men.
"Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God."
Lol! Oh really?? In 1776 you'd be the one telling George Washington it doesn't justify bloodshed. You are dead wrong. Sit on your ass until then come and take you, Gwen.
It justifies A LOT MORE than riots.
Tucker Carlson has a bigger platform and I believe he thinks the election was stolen, but he doesn't say it on his night time program. He may in time. He did affirm that on one of his TCToday shows.
But the truth is the truth no matter your platform. You have a larger responsibility, the larger your platform.
Tucker needs leave Fox, they are weeks behind. A tad ahead of CNN but that says nothing.
I would not put CNN in a category with Fox. CNN is all lies or propaganda, all the time.
Joe Rogan has almost 6x as many viewers as Tucker
He is also a profane guy, so I get tired of all the foul language.
..though they try.
I do not think he would have missed it IF he had taken the time as he does with the whu-flu data. research. I mean a man or woman only has so much time in a day...especially those who have children too. Just sayin. Maybe I am way off and Alex is locked in the same mass formation psychosis as those under the whu-flu spell. I do NOT KNOW :) OR maybe it's US locked in mass psychosis formation :)
Alex, you and I do not agree about the election. We can't prove the election was stolen. We shouldn't have to. We should be able to have confidence the elections were fair. It's on the election officials to demonstrate the elections were fair, and they just haven't done that. Surely you don't think they have.
It's your substack, and you can run it as you see fit. You're doing awesome work on covid. Just my opinion- you should stay in your covid lane, and away from the elections.
That said, if you choose to opine on the election from time to time, I'm not going to let that divide us. There's enough divisiveness as it is w/o having litmus test for people we'll consent to dialogue with.
Keep up the good work on covid and vaccines.
I appreciate this comment, but disagree that he needs to stay in his lane. He has a right to express any view that he wants to. He didn't claim to be an expert or refute any of the really good points that readers are sharing here. I think that Alex would agree that EVERY journalist, every written piece, must be read with discernment. Readers really shouldn't take anyone's writing as absolute truth. Fact check Alex on Covid. He makes it easy to do this by providing sources. He would be disappointed if you didn't take a look at those sources. This is why I trust Alex's work....because he doesn't spout "facts", but rather does a tremendous amount of research and backs up his work. As far as the election opinion that he shared -- he told us that he hasn't focused on it and didn't provide sources to substantiate his opinion. So IMHO, that's all perfect! I read (okay, I skim) many different news sources every day. A few just to get a gauge on what others are reading and the ones that I read more carefully because they offer different focuses or perhaps I want to see how their versions of a story compare. As far as Alex goes, knowing that he doesn't toe a party line is a quality that makes him very credible to me.
People who say, "he has a right to express his view" after someone else has been criticized for a view they expressed make me laugh. As if it was wrong of me to express my view that he should stay in his lane?
If you can't see how you contradict yourself, Sandy, let me make it real clear- I have a right to express MY view too.
And so do you.
Oh my, I didn't intend to criticize you. I actually agreed with most of your comment and hoping to add nuance. Very sorry that wasn't clear. I'm not a fan of the "stay in your lane" sentiment, but certainly not criticizing you for your opinion. Just expressing my opinion which is a tad different.
Very well said!
Thanks for this Sandy, I feel very similarly.
I decided to read comments before commenting myself. Glad I did. Sandy said most of what I would have said. To Evil Incarnate, I don't see how disagreeing with you is criticizing you. One of the reasons I so enjoy these comments is disagreements are cordial with little name calling (see Twitter for the converse).
"We should be able to have confidence the elections were fair." Yes we SHOULD but are they? That is a telling statement.
RLM RLMjust now
I know it's rigged we caught them. Ready? My dad lives here he is 92. He moved from Florida but still has a FL Drivers license and is registered there, he's been here 3 years.

Tell True the Vote.
Never heard of them will research
Heh. No one has ever accused me of taking a middle course before. I'm scorched earth, take no prisoners. Don't believe me? Just ask my friends and family.
I agree, Alex is a rare bird. When you get to be an old fuck like me, you come to the realization, there aren't enough hours in the day for even the rare birds to excel at everything.
Again, just my opinion- Alex and all the rest of us will be best served if he continues to focus where he's excelling.
Al Rosen, you're right, Rigged is a great book so far... Obviously Im having sleep issues cuz I alternate Mollie with Kennedy Jr.'s Fauci book. For "lighter" reading my third book is Michael Connelly's new Renee Ballard and Bosche mystery, and Connelly was a former LA Times reporter before turning to fiction. Uh, different fiction. But Connelly holds his cards pretty close and in the past I couldn't guess his politics (which I prefer, Ive got Mollie and Kennedy on standby), but in this new one ("The Dark Hours") the lead character (an LAPD night shift detective!) hectors others to mask up and vaccinate, at least once a chapter. Man, people have kinda lost it.
I'm A great fan of Connelly. If you haven't seen Bosch on Amazon Prime, try to. Maybe Connelly was trying to accurately portray mask hectoring in CA.
Yes! You might be right about the hectoring cuz I've read all the Connellys (40 or so?) and don't remember any gratuitous political plugs, but all very well researched (especially Haller, imo)
Read all the Haller, too, and all the Ballard (my least favored)
Very funny, and I swear this is true and I wish I had said it and I had planned to: I also don't have as much time for my mystery novels as I once did - cuz the real truth, whatever it is out there, is a bigger mystery (to me) than any little book and Im hoping to get some answers somehow someway sometime soon. Thx for your reply Al!
Rosen are you another liberal that throws stones without explanation? Why don't you go ahead and tell us WTF you're talking about or you're nothing but a clanging gong.
RLM, I completely don't understand your comment. A liberal would not recommend someone read Hemingway's book.
I understood it completely. On the first reading. Looks to me like you're the one who's clueless.
OK. Maybe I am and missed something.
Donald Trump won the 2020 election. Fixed it for ya
The media has coordinated with big tech monopolies, governments, intelligence agencies and supranational organizations funded by oligarchs to spread lies and propaganda and label the truth 'misinformation' and 'conspiracy theories'. If they could do it for a global plandemic, why would they hesitate for one second to engineer the same thing in 5 counties in 5 states for an election that puts a demented corpse in the executive branch? People are so petrified of being called a "conspiracy theorist" by the conspirators that they'll refuse to speak the truth when it constantly slaps them in the face.
Amen!! #FJB
agreed
Nope. The commie-Dems were overconfident, didn't steal enough votes.
Agree 1000000000%
Apparently you have no knowledge of how the electoral college works.
They figured out you only have to steal the votes in the swing states & only in 1 or 2 county's, you accomplish this you win!!
Not quite. I agree they didn't steal enough in the right states. I disagree that she won the popular vote. She stole it.
Wow...guess we're NOT in a troll-free zone. Bet you have a blue check, too.
No Phil, they pulled out all the stops in 2020 and used the plandemic to ramp things up dramatically. On top of that everybody thought Clinton had it in the bag in 2016 (Watching Rachel Maddow smugly state this was fun a week before November).
From what ive seen No he didnt lose , joe did
The Dems underestimated Trump’s turnout. Ergo they undercheated.
The most important part of the post:
"I know Tucker Carlson feels differently about Jan. 6 than I do, too. We disagree. I think Tucker is making too many excuses for what happened.
But Tucker has me on anyway! Tucker doesn’t tell his guests what to say, or demand that they meet ideological purity tests to come on. Neither does Joe Rogan."
Tucker Carlson's take on 1/6 is as nuanced as the event itself if you take the time to listen. He makes absolutely no apologies for any individual -- protestor or LEO -- who committed acts of violence. The number of actually violent people is small compared to the overall number of people that "stormed" the people's building. Most just carried flags and banners. The issue of course is that those flags and banners expressed unbridled support for the Forbidden One. And the total number of those who "breached" the Capital (funny how no one ever used the term during the previous 8 months of nearly continual violent riots -- but then those riots were allegedly held for an approved cause) is tiny compared to the overall number of Trump supporters who came to DC that day. A few hundred out of hundreds of thousands does not represent a "movement".
It is becoming increasingly clear that the FBI was as much a participant and a catalyst for 1/6 as it they were for the Whitmer kidnapping plot, as they have been countless times in their sordid history. That the DOJ still refuses to release what can only be exculpatory video footage of that day only confirms their subversion and involvement. Ray Epps who?
EDIT: RCP has a nice chart highlighting the differences between 1/6, the 2020 riots, and the 2017 "resistance" to Trump's inauguration. Worth a quick look.
https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2021/09/09/realclearinvestigations_jan_6-blm_comparison_database_791370.html
I am in much agreement with you, Brad.
However, Alex's article is still terrific and smart. (I'm not saying you don't think it is or do, it kinda doesn't matter.)
Thanks. I did appreciate Alex's article, as I do with most everything he writes, I was only responding to the quote that Travis identified. I listen to a lot of TC and never once have a I heard him utter anything even close to an excuse for any of the violence, so I'm not sure where Alex derives this position from.
I think you missed my point, but thanks for the long response.
So Trump and Rogan became famous populists on their NBC shows.
You should be checking out Ray Epps, the FBI, and why thousands of hours of video haven't been released. Those would have some facts.
Exactly. There are plenty of facts about election fraud and January 6 th that you are ignoring, Alex. They may be inconvenient, but are facts, nonetheless . Wendy Rogers has a few election facts for you, to start with. The FBI has few on January 6......
Alex is still part of the left-wing lunatics, but he's been great to report vaccine data and for this I applaud.
Thank you for that bit of sanity. I forgot his origins.
I take some of what Berenson says with a grain of salt until I have verified it elsewhere. Having followed him for awhile, many of his biases are apparent. We all have them, so need to take another's information with that in mind.
He won't: On this issue it's "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil."
Thanks. Hover over the pic, there's more.
Not to mention Drunk Nancy's phone records and laptop. She was offered help but declined it. Can't imagine why! LOL
Donald Trump won the election. And the "capitol riot" was a false flag. Anyone who cannot see that suffers from recto-cranial inversion.
Probably was. But Alex is basically right on this post.
No, he isn't. The election was stolen.
Not saying it wasn't. I'm saying he's right about journalism.
He is making a valid point about journalism, but at the same time, it doesn't take a lot of sleuthing to determine that the election was far from clean and secure. He really ought to take a look.
Besides the suitcases and video of running piles of ballots multiple times.. there's also the latest discoveries in GA about ballot couriers dumping ballots into drop boxes for cash payment.. that's definitely above board.
Taking a "break" from counting is basically a universally recognized sign of shenanigans, at least it would be in any self-respecting third world country. In 5 states at the same time...???
And those states only stopped counting after it became clear that Trump only need one or two more states to win and Biden needed ALL of them. And then those late-night batches had percentages not seen anywhere else in the country!
Even before then, the BS was deep. The media calling states for Biden as soon as the polls closed, but waiting to call them for Trump until far far later. This gave the impression that Biden was always head, when in reality Trump was crushing it all night.
All excellent points. The fortification was done through a bunch of methods producing a cumulative effect.
Alex should read the article about it in time magazine FFS
When Fox news didn't call Florida for Trump until after calling Arizona immediately is where I got nervous that night. And then it started to spiral. I was on the west coast, knowing something bad was going on, and then came Philly. And so on. When Alex throws out a few jabs like this Jan. 6th thing I get a little depressed cuz it's such an uphill battle to get the word out.
Roger that. But his own irresponsible "journalism" on the election theft issue is a bad vehicle for making that case.
I tend to agree he hasn't researched this as much as the vaccine issue. I suspect like many of the substack writers, he was a liberal who is alarmed by the fascist behavior of this administration and horrible journalism for years. But it's hard for him to see all of this clearly. Has a hard time seeing he real depths of corruption and what these people are capable of. What they've done. But he IS right that we should have an exchange of ideas even when we don't agree. THAT I agree with.
To be sure, God bless him for his covid work, but he needs to be responsible on this issue if he's going to mouth off on it.
I agree. Also, that he appears to have, with all due respect, a form of “Mass Formation Psychosis” in that he doesn’t recognize the dem party’s MAJOR role BEFORE BIDEN!
One cannot be an expert in everything.
Can we thank the heavens that Alex has brought his Pharma experience to bear on the COVID nonsense? There are other more qualified journos to look at the Election/Jan 6 story - so leave them with that?
And he is totally qualified to share his opinion - he admits he did some limited digging into election fraud and found nothing.
In Atlanta I’ve been told the city is run by racists who barely allow a non-black or minority work in key positions. They have mandated masks again. Thank God the Govenor is a repub.
Kemp's a lying corrupt POS RINO. Undocumented Democrat. Thanks to him & his butt buddy SecState Ratburger, Ratsplooge or whatever his rat name is, Trump "lost" Georgia and Rs "lost" both US Senate seats.
And don't forget the "Happy Faces" temp workers used for the election... the irony being that they were largely anger addicts wearing "vote" masks.
I have a question. In Fulton County, on election night..what do YOU suggest was happening on video, when ballots were rolled out from under a table, and fed through the machines multiple times, after people were told to go home and counting would resume in the morning? In all seriousness, what is the legitimate explanation for that?
broken pipe, everyone go home we'll pick up in the am, boxes come out from under tables, counting continues. Alex is an excellent investigative reporter but he's going to stick his fingers in his ears and his head in the sand on this. Will he talk to anyone about those incidents caught on tape? NOPE!! Will he talk to anyone about the AZ audit? NOPE!!
I enjoyed Pandemia and I'm glad he wrote it but I also realize it's the byproduct of the axes he has to grind with twitter and thompson. Election fraud? Find another reporter.
I have to comment here. Alex wrote four pamphlets on various aspects of the Covid response well before his twitter ban.He may have an axe to grind with Twitter (so do many others), and I don't understand who Thompson is, but I know for certain that Pandemia is not simply a byproduct of axes he has to grind; the book provides an excellent history of how we got here.
Thompson is Derek Thompson, the Atlantic writer who called Alex "the pandemic's wrongest man". I liked the book, that's just my opinion on the motivation. Considering he devoted chapters to each...hey, I'd be ticked off too.
Thanks. My brain fog is showing. Can't even remember what I read.
Last of the Mohicans is one of my favorite movies ever. I first saw it on a huge old-time screen. It felt as if I was actually in the nature scenes, they were so beautiful.
Hey now, those ballots weren't in SUITCASES so there's nothing to see here!
/"Fact Checker"
IMO there is no point arguing this with Berenson. His focus on Covid has left him less to largely uninformed on other issues. He has missed some information on Covid (he did last night on Tucker), so like all of us, he makes mistakes in his data and analyses. Where he makes a really big mistake is pontificating on his admittedly uninformed opinion. People adopt that uninformed opinion because of his national recognition and reputation for accuracy, where he isn't here.
this is a completely legitimate practice known as fortification, you conspiracy nutcase
ah yes, forgot about Time mag piece ;)
so true!
The mid-night ballot drops all caught on surveillance cameras were not enough to overcome the landslide. Team blue needed to protect democracy from the voters. If that's not legitimate then what is?
They weren't run multiple times through. Watch the full video.
I respectfully disagree, but if you take the "multiple times" out, what is the explanation for the rest of it? There was no water main break, they sent everyone but a select group home, they said counting would resume in the am, then it resumed shortly thereafter; with ballots from underneath a table with a tablecloth. This is not SOP.
Have you watched an explanation of what happened?
It's important to read/watch rebuttals then rebuttals to the rebuttals to get to the the truth.
I looked into multiple cases of alleged vote fraud and each time (just like Alex) came up empty-handed. My sense is that most people who claim vote fraud take the presenting story and never go to the next step, which is to seek out if there is a reasonable explanation.
Nice dodge at providing a specific response to a specific question. There is no rebuttal that is not a lie regarding Ruby, Shay, & their cohorts running those hidden ballots through multiple times.
Whatever.
I have listened to the "explanation'. It is NOT reasonable.
Did you know it's against GA law, apparently, to have skirts on the tables at the counting centers? In any event, why have skirts on the tables? Why hide anything??? Why were the observers kept so far away???
Even if Corona was a legit threat, which is was not, why not make sure every area has a high res feed for observers "distanced" for safety? Why tell observers to leave and then count more ballots???
Exactly how gullible are you????????
Empty handed or reasonable explanation? I'd love to see any reasonable explanations. What I saw didn't have any but I am open to whatever you have.
What's the logical explanation for sending the press and observers home for a fake water main break just to start running ballots through that were hidden under a table as soon as everyone left? You do realize that there are videos of the mainstream media reporting that this happened in real time and saying how bizarre it was?
Each key element of the story you just told is incorrect.
What is your evidence that they were told to go home because of a water main break?
If you have any links you believe explain what happened please share. Open mind here.
How is more video going to not show what we all saw happening?
Edited video can be made to look the way you want it to. Only by watching the full—unedited—video do you see what's happening.
Have you watched the full, unedited video?
Yes. I downloaded it immediately the day it popped up.
It shows people running batches through multiple times.
Can you send me a link? It's been at least six months since I've watched it.
It's on my computer several states away but I might be able to dig it up.
Yes, multiple times, and it showed them running those ballots through multiple times.
Why, if what they did was legit, was the "unedited" video not run on EVERY news channel with explanation?
Alex, you have done a lot of good research on Covid and the "vaccines." Your work on that topic is much needed and highly appreciated. You have not done any research on the elections and the PSYOP that the FBI conducted on Jan 6. Try starting with the Revolver pieces and work you way backward or forward. This post is unreadable. Sorry.
Here is the thing - if you don't read pieces contrary to your 'facts' you are no better than the people you criticize. And then very slowly, sometimes quickly, you turn into them
The NYT and the Atlantic lie constantly about covid and the shots.
But they're being totally honest about January 6th and the election.
The NYT and Atlantic lie constantly about everything, in favor of the Establishment that owns the country, and has owned it since the "Aristocratic Party" got its Constitution ratified by the same means as used in 2020: "We the Aristocratic party of the United States, lamenting the many inconveniences to which the late confederation subjected the well-born, the better kind of people, bringing them down to the level of the rabble -- and holding in utter detestation that frontispiece to every bill of rights, "that all men are born equal" -- beg leave (for the purpose of drawing a line between such as we think were ordained to govern, and such as were made to bear the weight of government without having any share in its administration) to submit to our Friends in the first class for their inspection, the following defense of our monarchical, aristocratical democracy. ..." http://resources.utulsa.edu/law/classes/rice/Constitutional/AntiFederalist/09.htm.
Judith Miller and WMD and the rest of that nonsense and prevarication are but one instance in a long, long line of lies pushed by those two "distinguished" publications. The only saving grace for the NYT is that it publishes decent crossword puzzles.
The piece starts 2 + 2 = 5. I try, but sometimes it's too much.
Also: the numeral 4 is disgusting and dangerous.
No, it's racist and misogynistic...
That would make great sense if you are talking about a well-presented argument or even a poorly-presented argument. I am perfectly happy to read anyone's argument about anything of interest - even things as dubious (to me) as the notion that the earth is flat. I just did so not more than a week ago. What I refuse to do is read a piece that starts out with a statement like "I don't care what you think, the earth is flat. Now, let's move on from there."
Alex is the bridge we need to lead the sheep across. The man knows what he's doing. Trump and Jan 6th are a good way to hook those who might not otherwise read this piece or listen to Alex...they are not the point of this article. This country needs centrists to bring us together now more than ever.
The ends justify the means. Where have I heard that before? I don't think it was a centrist.
How about people try thinking for themselves instead?
Very well said!
God Bless Alex. Stick to Covid coverage! I'm not even a Trump fan but he won. #sorrynotsorry
My feelings about Jan 6th are this. It wasn't a huge threat. Julie Kelly has done great investigative reporting on it; I hope you look at some of her work. Should Americans have trespassed? No. But that's all it was. Nothing more. No one was armed. It was not an armed insurrection and to call it such, is false (not saying that you did, but most in the media are).
As an American I am disgraced with how corrupt our capitol police and FBI are. To have American citizens in jail, in solitary confinement, with few privileges, all because they trespassed, for almost a year? How about the lefties who stormed the senate Hart building? To not see the inequitable treatment of the situations is to be blind.
Those who trespassed should have been fined and this should have been over. That's it. But the GOP is a joke and few will even look into how the J-6 detainees are being treated. The Dems are out for political blood and will do anything to those who don't support their agenda. Full stop.
so disgusting for sure how the GOP does not assist those who have been charged with no crimes still locked up in Washington. The majority of those detained still have no criminal history either. It's a disgrace especially with how we see perps who have literally killed others out on like $500 bail across the land.
Trump hasn't done Pf-ck all for them either. And it was his narcissism, his coy failure to discredit Q and similar "pro-Trump" psyops that enabled Agent Provocateurs like Ray Epps to trick these harmless fools into the capitol. Trump could've saved their lives at the stroke of a pen along with Julian Assange, but he pardoned bank robbers, drug dealers, rappers, toadies and celebs instead. Another reason I'm done with the son of a bitch.
do you prefer DeSantis in 24?
Yep.
My choice too!
There are no saviours-- how has that view been working for the US for the last -- say 50 years.
There ya go. I agree with Alex and I support his research on the Covid vaccines, and on Covid. I guess he and I can agree to disagree about the seriousness, or lack thereof, of Jan. 6. Especially considering all the riots prior to Jan. 6th- the burning, the looting, the death, the destruction- all of which was glossed over by the MSM- including breaking into the capitol building during the Kavanaugh hearings. Our government has thrown mere trespassers into the gulag, apparently forever, without a fair hearing or trial or bail- besides, it was a setup. Just ask Pelosi, the FBI, and the Capitol police.
Personally I don't know any Trump supporters who are in favor of breaking windows, vandalizing public property or stealing laptops. None. You had over a million people gathered in one location and a small number got out of hand. Unfortunately the FBI has so muddied the waters with shadowy "informants" that the cases ultimately are going to collapse just as the Governor Whitmer kidnapping case is in the process of doing.
Agree and I sure hope these cases collapse soon!
Yes. 100% agree.
Right. This whole thing is the fault of the GOP. They should have ALL stood up and asked for an investigation like the Democrats would have done (and SAID they would do) if things were reversed. Trump shouldn't have had to rely on protests the way he did and there were way too many irregularities--the GOP is a complete JOKE. Even now, you don't hear most of them fighting these people on much. There are a few, thank God.
God Bless The Magnificent Six who stood in the Senate, and over 100 in the house, to block certification and call for an emergency audit.
Josh Hawley
John Kennedy
Cindy Hyde-Smith
Roger Marshall
Tommy Tuberville
Anyone who voted to certify EITHER AZ or PA is a coward and scumbag.
Per new info from Lekimball, list edited to Remove Ted Cruz, who has now called Jan 6 a "terrorist attack". Now it's a missing man formation. Cruz is dead to me.
Yes, but Ted Cruz just called Jan. 6th a terrorist attack. He's a smart guy and NO idea why he did that. Some political calculation. A couple of the GOP who didn't like blocking the certification had problems with it because they didn't want to usurp states' rights. Like Mike Lee. But Pence just could have sent it back and had each state re-look at it, I think. He didn't have to accept the alternate electors. Why Cruz just did that is a mystery. It got out of hand but it wasn't a terrorist attack.
Thanks for that info. Done with Ted Cruz. Mike Lee's & Rand Paul's case for certification was disingenuous Orwellian doubletalk. States have no right to steal state elections let alone federal elections. No right to disenfranchise their own voters let alone those of other states. The FedGov has a DUTY to step in:
Art IV, Sec 4, U.S. Constitution: "The U.S. shall guarantee to every state a republican form of government..."
*REPUBLICAN*. Not *Banana Republican*.
They said it'd be wrong to "overturn the election" & reverse what "the states" decided. Stopping coups is the opposite of overturning elections. "The states" didn't decide it's ok for some states to steal from their own & other states' voters. Texas & many others opposed it but were snubbed for "no standing" by our Commie / Blue-Light Federalist Society SupCt, with the exception of loyal justices Alito & Thomas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_light_federalists
Lee's a rent boy for Silicon Valley, various corporate & mass immigration special interests. Paul's a confused, maybe blackmailed or cowed "Libertarian" who still covers for the BIG "safe & effective" LIE.
Well, I get their problem with it. But again, Pence could have told them to resolve the discrepancy, do some investigation and resubmit the electors. I'm not arguing that this thing w as stolen, but they needed to go through a process to prove this. Which got shot down every step of the way. Pence was worried that contesting it would rip the country apart even though I suspect he knew it was shaky (and he was worried about his own political career) -- as Nixon was when he lost to Kennedy, etc. Republicans always think they should take the high road. Must always look good. Not fighters like Democrats are. They should have ALL insisted on an investigation of that -- even if it turned out as it did. As you know, I don't see Rand Paul that way. He has never claimed the vaccines were safe and effective that I've heard. He took Malone's position that it was not for everyone. He's against mandates. Certainly natural immunity should count.
He's a doctor and not against all vaccines. Like Malone and even McCullough. His father publishes constantly on Lew Rockwell's libertarian site about Fauci and freedom. He is presently leaving Youtube because they censored his criticism of Fauci. He is trying more than anyone else I see. Even DeSantis doesn't really take Fauci on. though he takes on this fascism every step of the way. I think you are being too hard on him. And though I didn't like his position and Mike Lee's position, it did make some sense. They didn't have personal knowledge of states they didn't represent. AGain, Pence could have handled it differently. Trump was right he was a coward. He didn't have to accept Trump's electors. But he could have asked them to investigate and resubmit. The Democrats never would have been cowards. Who are you going to support in 2024?
No sale. Rand Paul was all over Breitbart & other places for weeks before 1/6 spreading his Orwellian arguments against holding up cert for an audit as was done in the late 1800s, lobbying other legislators. The damage he did was enormous. Even Deep Snake Pence didn't do that. Just betrayed us at the end.
Rand's cowardly "Vax is not for everyone" stand is actually worse than Trump's position, since Rand's an M.D. and knows better. "You shouldn't have to take it" is no better than Trump's coy position. Like Trump, Rand is doing NOTHING to expose the grave danger, not to the people he recommends it to, and not for the rest either. It's his duty to blow the whistle. Guilt by silence. He's part of the denial of informed consent.
Did Cruz say that? a terrorist attack?
Apparently just did. https://www.newsweek.com/ted-cruz-january-6-terrorist-attack-anniversary-1666189
I hate those moments in life when the mirror cracks. Just had that moment!
Yep. TERRORIST ATTACK! Just like Al Qaeda and Islamic State! All those poor capitol cops with their head sawed off. Tragic!
LOL
https://babylonbee.com/news/ted-cruz-says-all-his-haters-just-think-hes-really-sexy
LOL. Dream on, Baby!
Sadly no. https://www.foxnews.com/transcript/tucker-jan-6-was-not-a-terrorist-attack
SEN. TED CRUZ (R-TX): "We are approaching a solemn anniversary this week, and it is an anniversary of a violent terrorist attack on the Capitol where we saw the men and women of law enforcement demonstrate incredible courage, incredible bravery, risked their lives to defend the men and women who serve in this Capitol."
What a load of bull.
Yes, Tucker reported on it last night. Tucker also said he was a brilliant guy and never did anything that didn't have a specific purpose. So it's worrisome.
At a loss for words. Wonder if Cruz will address this?
Yes, that narrative will destroy us in the mid-terms. He obviously thinks it won't. I see Greg below thinks he's playing to the independents to run for president. He's a brilliant guy, but I don't trust him. I'd much rather have DeSantis.
He’s running for president. This will play to the “independents” while the rest of his “record” will keep the base with him.
Hm. He's a smart guy but I've never really trusted him. He has been useful and didn't do revenge on Trump which surprised me, but I'd rather have DeSantis for sure.
Nope. Cruz is delusional if he thinks he will keep "the base". Dumbass can't even keep his own Texas base. Nearly lost to Beta. And that idiotic Cancun stunt won't be forgotten, bailing on Texas like an elitist while the little people froze. Revealing. Too smart by half. Not thrilled with his Goldman Sachs wife either.
so Cruz said this for political positioning and or favor even though he knows its wrong? The mirror has cracked even more if so
Yep. First unarmed terrorist insurgency in history.
Later being NOW.

GOP for the "most part" are indeed weak and wimpy. Talk a lot huff and puff when they are seen on media, but in the end most simply seek re-election and do not walk the walk and hold those they should to real accountability
As someone who went to DC on 1/6/21 to protest the election fraud, I can tell you that we're not being told the whole story on how unarmed civilians were able to breach the capitol building. There were hundreds of thousands of people in town for the protest. Security was heavy everywhere on the streets. The capitol, by comparison, was completely unguarded and we've even seen video of capitol police letting people in. Why was this the case when every street had a national guard or DC police roadblock? Imagine if instead of a couple of hundred unarmed civilians, we had half a dozen well-armed jihadists trying to gain access to the building. They would have killed everyone inside the building within minutes. The media has abdicated its responsibility to get to the truth.
Including Alex on this one. It's obvious.
Yes, it always seemed weird to me how unguarded the capitol was too, but to all of the commentators who have come to find out unreported truths here and are unhappy with Alex Berenson's choice of words on this one, how do you feel about the operation "Warp speed" and the ex-president Trump being not even doubly vaccinated, but also boosted, and on top of having had a natural infection well treated too? The split-loyalties are confusing me.
I don't blindly support anyone 100%. Everyone gets things wrong. Trump does, so does Alex. Personalities don't matter, truth does.
Me too. I hate this idea of thought purity.
It's almost as if the media has coordinated with big tech monopolies, governments, intelligence agencies and supranational organizations funded by oligarchs to spread lies and propaganda and label the truth 'misinformation' and 'conspiracy theories'. If they could do it for a global plandemic, why would they hesitate to engineer the same thing in 5 counties in 5 states for an election that puts a demented corpse in the executive branch? Too bad there's nobody on substack writing about all this 'big collusion' in depth whose been researching it for years. A shame really.
The big picture you're referencing has in fact been written about.
It is powerfully presented in this recently published, staggering, shocking, monumental, impeccably researched and end-noted book:
The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health, by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
"They are the truth as far as I can tell and from my (limited) reporting"
Obvious keyword: LIMITED. Reminds me of F. Scott Fitzgerald:
“An artist is someone who can hold two opposing viewpoints and still remain fully functional.”
You 1: ~"Every institution is lying and covering up on covid and vaccines."
You 2: ~"Every institution is telling the truth on the election results." (Even though they fight tooth and nail to oppose audits and destroy evidence). Then wave your hands around and deflect to other issues we can agree on.
Disappointing. You seem to have no idea what you're talking about on this issue because you simply don't want to know. Your opinion on THIS issue is purely opinion, unworthy of the word "reporting" let alone investigative journalism. It is worthy of the NY Times, however.
That said, you're a national treasure, otherwise a great journalist, and God Bless you.
Ouch. Possibly fair point. But. Ouch.
That said, God bless him for his covid work, but he should be openminded, diligent and responsible on the election theft issue before mouthing off on it.
It seems to me Alex has blinders on his head about the origin of the "novel" coronavirus (the gain-of-function-enhanced coronavirus) and the "vaccines" too. Nevertheless, l think his work is valuable as far as it goes.
We can hope that he'll expand his perspective over time, right? I hope he does. But I honestly don't have high hopes for anyone to change. What would spur him to do so?
Alex is a national treasure. This one irked me, but I can live with it.
How "disgusting" and "dangerous" can trespassing really be?
Let's put people in solitary confinement for a year over a "disgusting" trespassing offence.
Let's not look into how much state involvement there was in ginning up the trespassing.
Let's have judges sentence people based on whether they recant their support for a politician, or whether they consume media from a disallowed source.
After two years of Russia hoaxes and two politically-motivated sham impeachments, let's have a sham select committee to finish converting America into a one-party state.
Sick of the disgusting moral equivalence. Alex you are wrong on this and Mr. Carlson is right.
Nobody agrees with people rioting at the capitol. And I don't know a conservative who doesn't think they should be punished. Or a libertarian. It was not an "insurrection." It was a protest. And Tucker is right, the FBI was inciting it just like they did on the Whitmer kidnapping. They had a guy the day before telling them to go in the building. There were at least 14 of those people in the kidnapping (more than they could actually recruit despite paying for hotel bills and trying to get them to recruit people and do all this), so you know those same people were there Jan. 6th doing the same garbage. Nancy Pelosi refused National Guard help because they WANTED that to happen and they were overjoyed it did. Just enough to play it into this huge narrative that all the never-Trumpers could spin. And yes, they should be out by now. I can guarantee you Donald Trump didn't want that to happen--it was the worst possible thing for him. But overall, I hear you. You are basically right about this.
Yep! Remember that the country was going to see the election evidence on 1/6, and the 'riot' just so happened to stop that from occurring.
Sure is lucky for Nancy Pelosi and a few others.
Alex I think its great you have a big tent. You aren't required to believe the same things I am. And vice versa. That's such a relief.
When Joe Rogan gets 10 million views, and CNN gets 1 million, that just gives you a sense where things are going. Mainstream media is a dying industry. This makes them desperate. Desperate people do desperate things. And, sadly, very few people "stop digging" when they are at the bottom of a deep hole.
So very true!
A few questions worth contemplating, who is Ray Epps and why is he not locked up with the other "insurrectionists?" What about Jaden X? Is he rotting in jail for trespassing with the "insurrectionists?" Who was a better citizen Ashli Babbitt or George Fentanyl Floyd?
Buh muh insurrection.
