  • It’s not Matt Taibbi (or Substack), it’s Elon

    Alex Berenson - Apr 8th 2023 7:14pm EDT

    Elon Musk is tired. He’s been tired, and making mistakes, ever since he wrapped himself up in the tar baby (trigger alert) that is Twitter. Along the way he’s lost $24 billion on the little bird, by his own estimate. Now Musk has made his worst mistake yet. On Thursday, he picked a fight with […]

  • On abortion, 41 weeks after the end of Roe v. Wade

    Alex Berenson - Apr 7th 2023 6:28am EDT

    Michelle Goldberg is a classic Times hard left opinion writer, but she’s willing to debate – she had me on a podcast just before Tell Your Children was published to debate the legalization of cannabis. (I don’t think that would happen now, unfortunately; the media has become even more polarized.) Today Goldberg wrote a piece […]

  • Another pathetic attempt to take down a top Republican fails

    Alex Berenson - Apr 3rd 2023 10:42am EDT

    Donald Trump has the world’s attention at the moment. This column isn’t about him. Since I know this question will come up: most of you know my feelings about El Hombre Naranja. Still, I admit to qualms that Trump has been indicted – as best anyone can tell – for the “crime” of (allegedly) misclassifying […]

  • The fiercest vaccine advocates are starting to admit the truth about the mRNAs

    Alex Berenson - Mar 31st 2023 12:41pm EDT

    Even the New York Times can’t hide reality about the mRNA jabs forever. Last week, the Times published an article headlined, “Should You Get Another Covid Booster?” The article’s subheadline noted “Britain and Canada have authorized another round of booster shots,” implying the United States has somehow been negligent in not doing so. And the […]

  • Why are epidemiologists and infectious disease doctors still so bizarrely afraid of Covid?

    Alex Berenson - Mar 30th 2023 11:03am EDT

    Michael Osterholm has Covid. That’s not the interesting part. You may remember Osterholm. If not: he’s an Minneapolis epidemiologist who is widely quoted on Covid, helped advise Joe Biden’s transition team, and runs a epidemic policy research center at the University of Minnesota. He’s a big kahuna in public health. And when the epidemic began […]

  • Still offering free(ish) signed first editions of PANDEMIA

    Alex Berenson - Mar 25th 2023 1:29pm EDT

    I aim to please! Last week, I sent out this reminder: I got caught up sending all the signed copies of Pandemia and Tell Your Children I owed folks, which means it’s time for me to remind you – If you are a founding member and would like one, please email me your address at […]

  • A dozen questions to ask anyone who still believes (or pretends to) Sars-Cov-2 occurred naturally

    Alex Berenson - Mar 24th 2023 4:13pm EDT

    Probably my favorite meme ever: — i ain’t reading all that… Last week, the same virologists who have spent three years insisting Covid must be natural put out a new preprint “proving” Covid is natural. The paper did nothing of the sort, of course. It merely demonstrated – again – that raccoon dogs and other […]

  • Want to be enraged? Read this piece about the way a California county surveilled a church for MONTHS in 2020.

    Alex Berenson - Mar 24th 2023 10:20am EDT

    David Zweig is one of the Twitter Files reporters. He managed the great feat of reporting well – not hyper-aggressively, but honestly and well – on the insanity of Covid without entirely losing access to the elite media. (I know of only one other reporter who did the same – Alec MacGillis, for a while. […]

  • URGENT: The newest effort to claim Sars-Cov-2 has natural origins is even more cynical than it first seems

    Alex Berenson - Mar 23rd 2023 5:00pm EDT

    (NOTE TO READERS: THIS PIECE TURNED OUT LONG. I TRY TO WRITE SHORT, BUT I WANTED TO TAKE THE TIME TO LAY OUT THE TIMELINE AND FACTS CONCLUSIVELY. I HOPE YOU THINK THEY ARE AS COMPELLING AS I DO…) — I am not making this up. Last week, The Atlantic hyped a new research preprint […]

  • Yes, I meant Sars-Cov-2 in the prior email!

    Alex Berenson - Mar 23rd 2023 10:12am EDT

    Best correction ever

  • Another pilot emergency

    Alex Berenson - Mar 23rd 2023 10:10am EDT

    (Working on a long story about the desperate efforts to blame raccoon dogs for the initial spread to humans of Sars-Cov-2, a theory that would be a wee bit stronger if a SINGLE naturally infected raccoon dog had ever been found anywhere in the world, but the meantime…) A Southwest flight from Las Vegas to […]

  • URGENT: Bill Gates, the world’s most dangerous centi-billionaire, proves he has learned NOTHING from the last three years

    Alex Berenson - Mar 20th 2023 7:47pm EDT

    Bill Gates is becoming a menace. He will not leave us alone. And he’s learned all the wrong lessons from Covid. At this point he is worse than merely clueless. As one of the world’s 10 richest men and controller of a $50 billion charitable honeypot, Gates has the power to drive public health policy […]

  • Please stop with the raccoon dogs

    Alex Berenson - Mar 17th 2023 11:48am EDT

    Last night, The Atlantic – of course it was The Atlantic – had BREAKING NEWS! And by BREAKING NEWS I mean yet another migraine-inducing story purporting to show that Sars-Cov-2 emerged naturally, rather than leaking from a lab. Before we get to the story, which takes about two seconds to debunk, it’s worth nothing that […]

  • Get yer free signed first edition of PANDEMIA*

    Alex Berenson - Mar 17th 2023 10:12am EDT

    I got caught up sending all the signed copies of Pandemia and Tell Your Children I owed folks, which means it’s time for me to remind you – If you are a founding member and would like one, please email me your address at [email protected] and I’ll mail one. It may take a couple weeks, […]

  • Capitalism, except for the capitalists

    Alex Berenson - Mar 16th 2023 4:13pm EDT

    Back to the banks. For a few hours on Sunday, they fooled me. At 6:15 p.m. Sunday, the government and Federal Reserve announced they would guarantee all deposits at the two big banks they’d closed, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank – removing the $250,000 limit on insured accounts to help prevent a bank run. […]

  • Covid: my struggle*

    Alex Berenson - Mar 15th 2023 2:12pm EDT

    Funny story about me and Covid: for the longest time, I didn’t seem to be able to get it. As I mentioned in PANDEMIA, I thought I had it at the very beginning, in March 2020. I went to a crowded party in Brooklyn and felt awful for about the next 10 days. But the […]

  • Berenson v. Biden is coming very soon

    Alex Berenson - Mar 14th 2023 10:10am EDT

    We will be filing in the Second Circuit. Obviously, New York is a very blue state, but Knight Foundation v. Trump is my new favorite decision. And Judge William Alsup was a Clinton appointee, and he gave us a huge win in Berenson v. Twitter. (I’d sign up for Alsup again any day – too […]

  • On bank runs, mRNAs, and existential risk

    Alex Berenson - Mar 11th 2023 9:43am EST

    On Thursday morning, Silicon Valley Bank was one of the 20 largest American banks, a solid, profitable financial institution with a market capitalization of over $15 billion. A day later it was gone. California and federal regulators closed Silicon Valley and seized its assets Friday morning, after a stunning bank run that threatens to spread. […]

  • Great piece from the Bad Cat

    Alex Berenson - Mar 10th 2023 10:12am EST

    I don’t agree with every detail, but his big takeaway – that we have VASTLY overstated the threat of a potential flu or coronavirus pandemic – is entirely correct. And by we, I mean the people whose careers depend on either chasing or “solving” the threat. Well worth your time. bad cattitude the greatest lie […]

  • And back to the potential perils of artificial intelligence…

    Alex Berenson - Mar 8th 2023 5:15pm EST

    The emails continue to flow after Monday’s pieces on ChatGPT and Bing, including this take, on the link between consciousness and conscience and why intelligence can exist without either. It’s fascinating, frightening and worthy of your time. I wanted to offer that, as I see it, intelligence does not equal consciousness. When we say “artificial […]

  • The China syndrome

    Alex Berenson - Mar 8th 2023 11:58am EST

    The mRNA Covid jabs just suffered their most devastating takedown yet. And they weren’t even being used. — Remember how China ended its lockdowns in December and Omicron ripped through megacities like Beiijng, causing hospitals to collapse and killing millions of people? How China begged the United States to deliver planeloads of mRNA shots overnight […]

  • Covid: Your tax dollars at work

    Alex Berenson - Mar 7th 2023 12:36pm EST

    Somewhere, Winston Churchill just threw up. A week ago, the British newspaper The Telegraph started publishing secret text messages among government ministers about Britain’s response to Covid. The good news is they don’t reveal a high-level government conspiracy to use Covid to install Bill Gates as Emperor of the Universe. The bad news is… everything […]

  • A reasonable response to the artificial intelligence piece today… and my answer

    Alex Berenson - Mar 6th 2023 1:27pm EST

    I know this is the third email today, but the piece about artificial intelligence seems to have struck a nerve with Unreported Truths readers. Many of you have strong opinions on the topic of AI, ChatGPT, and Bing – and a lot of you believe what we’re seeing is more or less a sophisticated parlor […]

  • If you think I’m exaggerating about how unsettling the new artificial intelligence engines can be…

    Alex Berenson - Mar 6th 2023 10:41am EST

    I am not (to quote Bing). I’m just going to leave this screenshot (and a close-up from it) right here: I am. I am not.

  • On the sudden acceleration of artificial intelligence

    Alex Berenson - Mar 6th 2023 10:15am EST

    In 1994, I had the good luck to take a seminar about artificial intelligence at Yale University with David Gelernter, a computer scientist best known for helping envision what at the time was called the World Wide Web. I’m not very connected to Yale these days. Its anti-free-speech stance disgusts me. The feeling seems to […]
