A warning from a Finn on Vladimir Putin
Alex Berenson - Feb 26th 2025 1:32pm ESTIn April 2023, Finland became the 31st member of North Atlantic Treaty Organization, aligning itself with the United States, ending generations of Finnish military neutrality between the West and Russia. The Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 provoked the move. The Finnish capital of Helsinki is just 200 miles from St. Petersburg. With under six […]
What do YOU think of Donald Trump’s first five weeks as President?
Alex Berenson - Feb 25th 2025 5:54pm ESTI am still wrapping my head around this new administration. Donald Trump has made some moves I’ve liked, others I haven’t, and some where the jury is very much still out. He’s clearly serious about making Europe take more responsibility for its own defense, for example, and that step is long overdue. But is blaming […]
The FDA’s top regulator just took a senior job at Pfizer
Alex Berenson - Feb 25th 2025 2:41pm EST No wonder no one trusts drug companies – or their regulators. On Monday, Pfizer named Dr. Patrizia Cavazzoni as its executive vice president and chief medical officer, overseeing the company’s safety and regulatory teams globally. Until Jan. 18, Cavazzoni had a different job – director of the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Drug Evaluation […]
The era of mass unrestricted migration is ending
Alex Berenson - Feb 24th 2025 2:04pm EST Illegal immigration is dead. And legal migration may be about to get a lot harder. Thank voters on the right — and the New York Times Magazine on the left. On Sunday, voters in Germany swung right, echoing the turn the United States made in November. In both cases anger over illegal immigration drove much […]

VERY URGENT: Yale researchers have found immune system exhaustion and prolonged spike protein production in some Covid jab recipients
Alex Berenson - Feb 19th 2025 10:27am EST This is bad news. Very bad. A Yale University team led by a top immunologist has found that some people who received the Covid vaccines have damage to their immune systems, as well as high and rising levels of spike protein in their blood. The researchers released the findings Wednesday in a “preprint” and hope […]
Flu is out of control in the United States
Alex Berenson - Feb 17th 2025 4:34pm EST Heard about the 2025 influenza epidemic? Emergency room visits for flu-like symptoms are the highest in a generation. Over 50,000 Americans were hospitalized in the week ended Feb. 8, the newest available data. For the first time since Covid began, flu is killing more people than Sars-Cov-2. Yet even as the media hypes the risk […]
Why the Trump/Musk partnership is taking off
Alex Berenson - Feb 13th 2025 12:05pm EST Fair to say no one expected this. In July, when Elon Musk endorsed Donald Trump for president, almost everyone assumed his support would be mostly financial, maybe a couple of hundred million dollars – a rounding error for Musk. In November, when Trump announced Musk would run a new “Department of Government Efficiency” after winning, […]

URGENT: Cancer deaths rose in Japan in 2022 and 2023, post-mRNA Covid shots
Alex Berenson - Feb 11th 2025 12:28pm EST Japan had about 12,000 more cancer deaths than expected in 2022 and 2023, Japanese researchers reported in a preprint today. The increase was small in relative terms, about 2 percent more deaths than expected. But it reached statistical significance, meaning it is probably not a chance finding. It offers the strongest evidence yet that mRNA […]
The best reason to hate international aid
Alex Berenson - Feb 10th 2025 2:06pm EST You may have heard of what economists call the “resource curse.” If you haven’t: the resource curse is a paradoxical problem for poor countries that are rich in minerals or oil. Despite their seeming bounty, those countries often wind up behind their neighbors and beset with political strife. Why? The quickest way for smart or […]
A veteran (and new federal employee) offers her view on the chaos the sudden government downsizing has unleashed
Alex Berenson - Feb 6th 2025 9:59am ESTEveryone agrees: the federal government is an inefficient beast that needs shrinking — and that process may be painful to employees who have taken advantage of “work” from home rules for years. That said, the current slash-and-burn chaos is not without innocent victims, particularly those hired with the explicit promise they could work remotely. One, […]
The Presidency is not performance art
Alex Berenson - Feb 5th 2025 10:06am EST This isn’t why I voted for him. And if you are being honest with yourself, it’s not why you voted for him either.1 Last night, President Donald Trump said the United States should take over the Gaza Strip and force out the two million Palestinians who live there. With its Mediterranean beachfront, Gaza could become […]
A military and civilian aviation veteran explains Wednesday night’s crash
Alex Berenson - Jan 31st 2025 7:45pm ESTThe author’s name is J.R. Rudy. He raises several issues I haven’t heard before, including the crosswinds that were swirling Wednesday night and the lack of a safety observer on the Black Hawk’s training mission. Beyond that – I’d rather let him speak for himself, unedited. I am responding to your recent note about input […]
An unforced error for Donald Trump
Alex Berenson - Jan 31st 2025 9:56am ESTDonald Trump had a strong first week. Yesterday, however, was not a good day. We do not know what caused an Army Black Hawk helicopter to crash into a American Airlines regional jet landing at Reagan National Airport, killing 67 people Wednesday night. As anyone who’s ever flown into Reagan knows, the airspace is heavy […]
Vox populi, vox dei (as Elon likes to say)
Alex Berenson - Jan 29th 2025 11:41am ESTSeems you want me asking questions of the White House. Almost 7,000 Unreported Truths readers have already voted in yesterday’s poll asking whether I should apply for one of the “new media” White House press passes the Trump Administration is making available – and by a 5-1 margin you want me in. As you wish. […]
Should I apply for a White House press pass?
Alex Berenson - Jan 28th 2025 4:46pm ESTThis afternoon, Trump Administration press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the White House plans to make press credentials available to independent reporters. A couple of you have already suggested I go for it. — (Apply to be an Unreported Truths subscriber! All applications granted.) Subscribe now — On the one hand, I love the idea of […]
Of course Donald Trump can (and should!) fire the federal prosecutors WHO TRIED TO SEND HIM TO PRISON
Alex Berenson - Jan 28th 2025 12:05pm EST Last night, the New York Times offered its readers more incoherent shrieking about Donald Trump. (Shocker, I know.) Trump’s offense this time? Firing the federal prosecutors who worked for Jack Smith, the special counsel who spent years desperately trying to imprison Trump. The Times called the firings an “egregious violation of well-established laws.” To be […]

URGENT: Donald Trump is reinstating thousands of members of the military who were discharged for refusing Covid jabs
Alex Berenson - Jan 27th 2025 12:26pm EST I will never forget the emails from service members and their families. They started in summer 2021 and didn’t stop for a year. I’m in the Air Force. There are many many people refusing the vaccines, and the Reserves held a town hall recently to try to persuade us. It was a disaster… There are […]

Five things I liked from Donald Trump’s first week as President
Alex Berenson - Jan 26th 2025 11:57am ESTI’m not promising a roundup every week, but this week earned one. So much has happened since Donald John Trump took his oath of office last Monday that I’d break my fingers jamming out full stories about it all. But I don’t want to let it wash away, either. So without further ado, here are […]
