On the rising backlash against the campus pro-Hamas protests
Alex Berenson - May 2nd 2024 5:44pm EDTThe Ivy League youth of today have demands. Very. Serious. Demands. They want freedom. For Hamas, natch. From the river to the sea, and who knows where after that? Maybe Paris, Paris is nice in the spring, as long as you don’t publish cartoons of the Prophet that the faithful don’t like. Then they kill […]
The Manhattan District Attorney’s office is playing a very dangerous game in Donald Trump’s trial
Alex Berenson - Apr 29th 2024 3:14pm EDT“A criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 presidential election.” That’s the crime prosecutor Matthew Colangelo – a top official in Joe Biden’s Justice Department until he joined the Manhattan district attorney’s office to prosecute Donald Trump – claimed last week Trump had committed. That “scheme” is why Trump faces 34 New York state felony charges […]
URGENT: New York’s top court vacates Harvey Weinstein’s rape convictions – in a stunning ruling that may put the judge in Donald Trump’s case on notice
Alex Berenson - Apr 25th 2024 3:18pm EDTIn the United States, we prosecute crimes, not people. Arguably, this rule is the fundamental principle of our justice system. Doesn’t matter if a defendant volunteers every Sunday or has an affair every Tuesday. Defendants are accused of committing specific offenses. Prosecutors must prove their guilt without making the trial a referendum on their character […]
Should Donald Trump refuse to participate in his show trial in Manhattan?
Alex Berenson - Apr 24th 2024 11:48am EDTThe Manhattan prosecution of Donald Trump is an embarrassment to the American justice system. Like Trump or dislike him (and as you know, I dislike him), he is neck-and-neck with Joe Biden in the 2024 Presidential election. Trying the leader of the opposition party on criminal charges is no small matter in a democracy. It […]
The lawfare against Donald Trump hits new heights today
Alex Berenson - Apr 22nd 2024 1:52pm EDTThis morning, I reread New York state’s 34-count felony indictment of Donald Trump – and the indictment’s accompanying “statement of facts.” I wanted to be sure the case was as bizarre as I remembered. It was worse. Donald Trump’s first criminal trial officially began today with opening statements in a lower Manhattan courthouse. That dry […]
Why I’m pushing on the lab leak again
Alex Berenson - Apr 16th 2024 4:43pm EDTA while back, I asked Unreported Truths readers what stories you wanted me to press. I was somewhat surprised to hear most of you didn’t care about Covid’s origins. You thought the question wasn’t worth our time, because anyone paying attention has known since 2020 that Sars-Cov-2 almost surely escaped the Wuhan Institute of Virology […]
Ten years ago, microbiologist Ralph Baric told Tony Fauci and the world he would make coronaviruses more lethal. Then – with Fauci’s backing – he did.
Alex Berenson - Apr 15th 2024 6:39pm EDT(SECOND OF TWO PARTS; PART ONE IS HERE) Questioned under oath in 2022, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci largely denied knowing Dr. Ralph S. Baric, a North Carolina scientist and the world’s top coronavirus researcher. Fauci’s claim came though he met one-on-one with Baric as Covid raced around the globe in early 2020 – and though […]
1Why did Tony Fauci say under oath he barely knew top coronavirus scientist Ralph Baric – when in fact Fauci hosted a daylong 2013 meeting where Baric laid out his plans for risky research?
Alex Berenson - Apr 12th 2024 5:25pm EDT(PART 1) The evidence has been hiding in plain sight for years. On June 24, 2013, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci invited a small group of top coronavirus researchers to an all-day brainstorming session at a conference center at the National Institutes of Health. The subject was nominally an outbreak of a new illness called MERS, […]
Much more to come on this: but you might be interested to see that RFK Jr just picked up on an X post I made about Tony Fauci’s deceptive deposition testimony in Missouri v. Biden
Alex Berenson - Apr 10th 2024 10:46am EDTSo yesterday I posted on X the fact that Dr. Anthony S. Fauci had repeatedly downplayed his relationships with Dr. Ralph Baric and Peter Daszak, two men who are closely connected with the Chinese lab in Wuhan from which Sars-Cov-2 likely leaked. (A longtime source has tipped me to a crucial bit of evidence that […]
The evidence Peter Daszak and Ralph Baric were part of the work that led to Covid continues to mount
Alex Berenson - Apr 7th 2024 3:06pm EDTI don’t agree with Dr. Peter McCollough in everything, but he has a nice summary of the new disclosures here, well worth a read; I’ll be approaching this investigation and these facts from another angle VERY soon. Meanwhile, the New York Times and the rest of the gang continue to see no FOIAs and speak […]
I know I’ve been AWOL
Alex Berenson - Apr 5th 2024 9:53am EDTThe good news is that the news seems to have gone on vacation too – the primaries are on autopilot, we’re in between trials against Trump, Wall Street remains in full Wile E Coyote mode, and even the border crisis seems to have slowed down a bit. Amazing, it turns out that those hopeless refugees […]
Four years in, the New York Times ALMOST tells the truth about Covid and the mRNAs
Alex Berenson - Mar 25th 2024 2:58pm EDTThe New York Times was almost honest about Covid yesterday. The key word being almost. March is the season for Covid remembrances. On Sunday the Times ran a honker. Three reporters, 2,100 words. When I worked there, the Times internally called this kind of article an “All Known Thought” piece. Maybe it still does, I […]
URGENT UPDATE to Friday’s article on New York state’s lawfare against Donald Trump: The grownups have spoken, sort of
Alex Berenson - Mar 25th 2024 1:02pm EDTAssuming Trump can post the $175 million bond, he will now be able to appeal the insane $464 million (and counting) penalty that Judge Arthur Engeron imposed on him last month. He will not face losing his properties until his appeal is heard. Recall that Engeron’s ruling came for a “fraud” that Trump committed by […]
Reader mailbag: March 23, 2024
Alex Berenson - Mar 23rd 2024 11:54am EDTHalf the fun of writing Unreported Truths is hearing what you think. And sometimes your comments or expert analysis demand sharing. Here’s a short selection, edited only for grammar or length – these are your words. Let’s with a great question from Kenneth S.: Re: covid lack of cynicism by the intellectuals One aspect of […]
Lawfare against Donald Trump is approaching a new and dangerous phase
Alex Berenson - Mar 22nd 2024 12:32pm EDTI have a confession. I never thought the show trial over Donald Trump’s loans would go this far. I never thought New York state would seriously try to enforce the absurd $464 million judgment against Trump for his “crime” of borrowing money and paying it back. I assumed the adults would step in once the […]
What happened at the Supreme Court Monday, and what it means for Berenson v Biden – and free speech
Alex Berenson - Mar 21st 2024 5:50pm EDTOn Monday, the Supreme Court heard two cases vital to the future of the First Amendment – and Berenson v Biden, my lawsuit against the White House and Pfizer officials for their conspiracy to force Twitter to ban me in 2021. The first, Murthy v Missouri, came out of broad federal efforts to monitor and […]
Leukemia deaths jumped in Japan in 2022 after the mRNA jabs, reversing years of declines
Alex Berenson - Mar 20th 2024 3:36pm EDTLeukemia deaths surged 6 percent in Japan in 2022, ending a long downward trend and reaching their highest level in over a decade, Japanese researchers reported. Breast cancers also rose sharply in 2022, the researchers found. Overall deaths from all cancers were flat in 2021 and 2022, a change after years of falling age-adjusted death […]
Should the US make a Chinese company sell TikTok?
Alex Berenson - Mar 18th 2024 1:17pm EDTI can’t stand TikTok. My kids use it, though I wish they wouldn’t. (If you wonder why they do despite my objections… recall I am not their only parent.) If you don’t know: TikTok is a social media app that serves an endless stream of user-generated short videos. It’s proven hugely successful, becoming the only […]
Long Covid: even faker than you thought
Alex Berenson - Mar 15th 2024 8:23am EDTThe term “long Covid” should be dropped from use, because Covid has no more aftereffects than the flu or other mild respiratory illnesses, according to a major new study from Australia released yesterday. The study showed that only 3 percent of people who had Covid had “moderate-to-severe” aftereffects a year later – numerically fewer than […]
As the border collapses, a measles cluster is growing at a migrant shelter in Chicago
Alex Berenson - Mar 13th 2024 4:23pm EDTWant to come to the United States legally? You will need 15 different vaccinations, including, yes, a Covid shot. A Covid vaccine is required even if you have previously had Covid – and even if you are young and at low risk from Covid but at high risk from mRNA-caused myocarditis. In fact, the government […]
URGENT: A new court ruling shows the insane overreach of the PREP Act, which effectively bars ALL suits over the Covid jabs (not just against Pfizer/Moderna, against anyone)
Alex Berenson - Mar 12th 2024 12:26pm EDTOn Aug. 20, 2021, as his stepfather waited outside, a 14-year-old boy named Tanner Smith walked into a North Carolina high school for a Covid test. But the testing area doubled as a vaccination center, and once Tanner arrived, he was told he needed a Pfizer mRNA Covid shot. He told the vaccinators he had […]
Free speech under attack: the weaponization of defamation law vs. climate change skeptics
Alex Berenson - Mar 8th 2024 2:39pm EST(PART 1 of this article explained the background of climate scientist Michael Mann’s defamation lawsuit against commentators Mark Steyn and Rand Simberg – and the fact the United States has usually set a high bar for such cases, part of our commitment to free speech.

Yes, the global elites are even stupider and more tone-deaf than you imagined
Alex Berenson - Mar 6th 2024 9:22am ESTEvery part of this article will read like a parody. Only it’s real. Over the weekend, the richest man in India, Mukesh Ambani, spent about $150 million to marry off his youngest and fattest son, Anant, before various and assorted members of the global elite. It was the wedding of the year! Actually not, it […]
URGENT: The Supreme Court rules 9-0 that states must allow Donald Trump on the presidential ballot
Alex Berenson - Mar 4th 2024 11:27am ESTLawfare has limits. The Supreme Court just ruled unanimously, 9-0, that Americans must be allowed to decide for themselves whether Donald Trump should return to office in 2025. The Court struck down a Colorado Supreme Court ruling claiming that because Trump had engaged in “insurrection” on Jan. 6, 2021, he would not be allowed on […]
