Roger Stone asked for donations to the Stop the Steal Security Project

Days after his pardon, conservative operative Roger Stone began pleading for donations for the Stop the Steal Security Project at his Parler account. It's unknown how much he might have collected or how it may have been dispersed. While Stone called for a peaceful protest, many Parler members talked about bringing weapons and committing violence.

Stone claimed that security was necessary, because four "Trump supporters" were stabbed at an earlier DC event, but doesn't mention that they were affiliated with the Proud Boys.

On December 30, 2020, Stone posted a video (that can still be viewed at this cache link) asking for help to pay professional security.

"This is Roger Stone," he said on the video. "On January 6th, I'll be speaking to the Stop the Steal peaceful protest in Washington, DC. We're going to be protesting the heist of the 2020 election. I look forward to seeing you there."

Stone continued, "But if you can't attend, we still need your help. You see, I'm concerned about the safety and the security of our supporters, of those who will be marching with us. After the last Washington DC event, four Trump supporters were stabbed by leftists. That's because we cannot afford all the professional accoutrements of an event. This is a pop-up grassroots event for which we need professional security."

"We don't have a wealthy donor like George Soros waiting in the wings to write a check to subsidize our political activism," Stone said. "We can only count on people like you. So to help us have a peaceful event, to help us have the impact we want to change history and to stand up for the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln, please go to stopthesteal.org. That's stopthesteal.org and help us pay for the staging, the transportation - and most importantly - the security of our peaceful protesters. Thank you, and God bless you, I'll see you in Washington, January 6th."

While Stone had previously used the stopthesteal.org domain to redirect to his Stone Cold Truth website, he redirected it to his DonorBox pledge page (cache link).

Stone wrote, "On January 5th and 6th, one of the largest peaceful protests in American history will take place in Washington D.C. when as many as one million Americans will descend on our Nation’s capital to protest the theft of the 2020 Presidential election through systematic voter fraud and cyber manipulation of the vote."

Stone continued, "Because the corporately owned mainstream media pushes the false narrative that the President’s support in the country for an honest selection result is dwindling, it has been vitally important to mobilize thousands of Americans across the country at events organized to demonstrate that not only are we still the majority but that President Trump won a majority of the legal votes cast. It is vitally important that those who refuse to accept the theft of this election promote and participate in peaceful protests across the country every Saturday to refute the media myth that the President’s support is dwindling - particularly the massive peaceful protests planned for Washington DC on January 5th and 6th."

"The unprecedented media blockade, which includes every major social media platform, is being used to make Biden’s “victory” look legitimate and legal," Stone wrote. "That’s why we need you to come to Washington DC if you are able to, or support our effort to have a large, effective, safe, and record-breaking peaceful protests on January 5th and 6th."

Stone continued, "Because ours is a grassroots pop-up movement, we are underfunded. I am deeply concerned about the safety and the security of the Americans who will be joining us for the historic events of January 5th and 6th. In numbers, there is strength. While we are very proud of our first protests across the country on November 14, many of our peaceful protesters in Washington D.C. were victims of violent attacks perpetrated by thugs from ANTIFA and BLM."

"We now recognize our immediate need for a reasonable level of private security at every one of our events, as well as funds for permits, staging, transportation, and legal fees," Stone added."George Soros provides the funding for the attacks on our peaceful patriots. We must defend them. Please send your contribution to the Stop The Steal Security Project at StopTheSteal.org today. Time is short and arrangements for private security for this historic event must be made in the next two days. We will not be silenced. We will not quit. With your help, we will mount a peaceful, safe public protest in our Nation’s capital which has the potential to change the direction of history. Please support the #StopTheSteal movement today by going to StopTheSteal.org and sending your maximum possible contribution. God bless you and God bless President Donald J. Trump."

Stone asked for contributions from $25 to $2500 or a custom amount.

At Parler, Sacandagajan responded to Stone, "We'll be packing." Then Puckett_D said, "Yes, we will. We've had enough if Antifa and BLM."

"Take a cheap one you don’t mind being without," bluestraveler56 warned. "Might have to throw it a long ways. DC police arrest patriots and not antifa or blm. Just saying!"

Referring to the DC police, Sacandagajan replied, "Then they are at risk! They stand with us or ......"

When another Parler commenter recommended carying cans of hornet spray that can shoot thirty feet, two others talked about how they could be used as flammable weapons.

In that same thread, someone suggested that someone should assassinate Governor Cuomo.

In response to another Stone post on Parler, Playerunknown2U replied, "Patriots from across the country are coming armed to the teeth think security probably not an issue this time antifa be warned."

On January 2nd, Stone wrote on Parler (archive link), "I have owned the domain StopTheSteal.org since 2016 After 4 Trump supporters were stabbed and 86 other Trump supporters were badly injured in violent attacks by leftists we became reactivated to work specifically to maintain the safety and Security of the millions of Americans coming to our nations capital January 5 and 6. Ours is a pop-up minimalist peaceful protest. We use an aluminum ladder for a podium and carry a portable public address system. We have no funding for any kind of security for the event or the security and transportation of our speakers our organizers. We work in total coordination with StopTheSteal US as well as a coalition of others. Help if u can."

Someone named Artcenterofcrisfield responded in that thread, "And be prepared to storm the barricades."

"If you see crooked oathbreaker cops breaking the law it’s up to us to stop them at that point," PoliticallyIncorrectUSA wrote.

On January 2nd, in another Parler post, he made another plea for donations: "Roger Stone is headed to Washington for the historic January 5th & 6th peaceful protests against the heist of the 2020 election but he says he is deeply concerned about the safety & security of the many Americans who are coming to our nation's capital for these vital events. After the last record-breaking DC #StopTheSteal peaceful protest, four Trump supporters were stabbed by leftists & 82 others were badly injured. If you cannot go to Washington but want to help this vital mission, please help us pay for the professional security for our minimalist pop-up event to support the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln & to demand an honest, fair & transparent count of the 2020 election. GO TO StopTheSteal dot org NOW."

QanonPizzagatewski replied, "Well don't worry Roger most of us will be fully armed."

"I'm in Washington state I wish I could find a ride to Washington DC!" Johnpirate5 wrote. "Oh would I love to be there! with a baseball bat duct tape to each hand! Get me a little bit of antifa and BLM."

SandraAnnPatriot wrote, "Patriots need to arm up!" Jspeedy agreed, adding, "It's that time. Semper fi."

Former Proud Boys lawyer calls NAACP lawsuit a 'publicity stunt'

Even though Jason Lee Van Dyke reportedly cut off ties with the Proud Boys in 2018 he still keeps getting linked to them in lawsuits and the media. However, lawyers and journalists don't seem to know or care that Proud Boys International LLC doesn't even exist anymore.

"The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee on Tuesday filed a federal lawsuit accusing former president Donald Trump, lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani and two extremist groups whose members have been charged in the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol of illegally conspiring to intimidate and block Congress’s certification of the 2020 election," Spencer S. Hsu reported for the Washington Post on Tuesday. "Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) alleged in federal court in Washington that Trump’s and Giuliani’s false claims that the election was stolen fomented a raid that violated the Ku Klux Klan Act, an 1871 law enacted after the Civil War to bar violent interference in Congress’s constitutional duties."

On January 4th, Rachel Sander reported for Forbes, "Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the far-right Proud Boys, was arrested in Washington, D.C. Monday on charges of destruction of property and illegally possessing high capacity magazines, as the city remains on edge with pro-Trump protests planned this week to dispute the 2020 presidential election results."

"The Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church filed a lawsuit against the Proud Boys and their leader, Enrique Tarrio, in D.C. Superior Court Monday, saying the group trespassed on its property and destroyed its Black Lives Matter banner," NBC News also reported that same day.

On February 5th, the church filed a motion to get a default judgment against the Proud Boys, even though they don't seem to have made any attempts to contact Tarrio or his criminal lawyer, Lucas Dansie. They only appear to have contacted Van Dyke, who claims he hasn't had anything to do with the Proud Boys since 2018.

"Just like the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church, Rep. Thompson and the NAACP are engaged in a publicity stunt," Van Dyke told me in an email. "The existence of Proud Boys International LLC was terminated on 2-12-2021 with the Texas Secretary of State."

Van Dyke added: "The latest lawsuit was filed on 2-16-21. It’s clear that, like MAMEC, the attorneys representing Rep. Thompson couldn’t be bothered to take the time to figure out whether they were suing the correct entity or whether the entity that they were suing even exists. As I have not been associated with the Proud Boys in over two years, I will not be participating in this lawsuit."

"However, if the attention to detail (or lack thereof) shown by Plaintiff’s counsel is any indication of its legal talent, I don’t think it will take President Trump’s legal team very long to prevail," Van Dyke predicts.

Van Dyke further explained: "Proud Boys International LLC was – by agreement – to have been taken over by the then-existing Proud Boys leadership under Chairman Enrique Tarrio in late November of 2018. It never was. It has sat dormant since that time. It has never held any asserts, it held no assets at the time either lawsuit was filed, and it had no assets at the time of its termination. If these attorneys think I am going to waste my time having anything to do with publicity stunts involving an organization I have not been a part of for over two years, they are clearly unfamiliar with both my resolve and my willingness to bill them for wasting my time with this malarkey."

Van Dyke informed the court that he forwarded the service of process "immediately" to Tarrio using the address connected to Warboys LLC. But neither of the lawsuits seem to mention that entity at all in their filings. Warboys LLC is a still active Florida Limited Liability corporation connected to Tarrio, and Proud Boy leaders Ethan Nordean aka Rufio and Joseph Biggs aka Rambo, who were both arrested for entering the US Capitol building on January 6th.

The Washington Post also reported, "Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio called the lawsuit frivolous and doubted it would be allowed to proceed in federal court."

Tarrio claimed: "Were there Proud Boys that went in? Yes, and they’re idiots. They shouldn’t have gone in. But I’m going to support them because they are my brothers. But there was no plan to go into the Capitol. Unfortunately, one of my guys broke a window. Others trespassed. But there was no plan to even interrupt Congress.”

Strangely, the Washington Post didn't even provide a full quote of the sentence that included "frivolous."

However, a BBC report conclusively shows that "the Proud Boys were already heading to the Capitol before President Trump had even spoken at his rally by the White House."

The Washington Post didn't seem to ask Tarrio why the Proud Boys happened to be at the Capitol when it was breached, just like they didn't report that Proud Boys International LLC doesn't even exist anymore.

At his Parler account, a few days ago, Tarrio posted a profane response to the NAACP lawsuit which could come back to haunt him, since he is acknowledging that it exists, and a judge could determine he has been properly served.

Tarrio wrote, "So the NAACP and Congressman Benny Thompson are attempting to sue Me, Trump, Guliani and the OathKeepers....and I couldn’t be more thrilled. A little over a year ago I ran for Congress and bowed out before the primary because of credit card processors. But I would never imagine that retards like this would give me a louder voice."

"At the end, this will be thrown out and I’ll get to say I won in federal court against the NAACP and a retarded Congressman with Donald J Trump as my co-defendant," Tarrio added. "They literately got their asses handed to them last week by a personal injury attorney. Now they’re going to get their shit pushed in by a little brown dude from little Havana."

Tarrio continued: "Sometimes the best weapon against your enemies is ridicule. They want a circus...but they forgot I’m the fucking ringleader. Suck my rebel dick."

Many journalists have done stories about Van Dyke, relying on the claims of convicted felon Tom Retzlaff, but they have ignored that Retzlaff was arrested last year, and faces four felony charges for allegedly forging documents and cyberstalking his daughter. Retzlaff and former Democratic campain worker Neal Rauhauser work together with a racist blog that posts revenge porn, threats, and personal information of their enemies. The blog has also posted my social security number, because I won't stop reporting on the cyberstalking activities of Rauhauser, Retzlaff and the trolls that work with them. Rauhauser and Retzlaff have been pushing outlandish conspiracy theories related to the FBI investigation, calling their critics Proud Boys supporters or snitches, which could be considered witness tampering.

Defiant Stop the Steal leader Ali Alexander says he will 'fight the FBI' and blasts comments by Trump as 'reckless'

(MORE TO COME...)

Stop the Steal leader Ali Alexander is a political operative who has a long history of contradicting his own words and actions.

Sometimes he's humble, sometimes he's defiant. Sometimes he's calmly calling for peace. Other times he's inciting violent actions.

Before he supported Mitt Romney's unsuccessful 2012 campaign for president, Alexander was a hardcore critic. He once managed a teenager who falsely claimed President Obama had blocked him on Twitter, then began trolling him after they had a falling out. And Alexander has spent the last few months, alternating between violent rhetoric and calls for peace, much like President Trump.

After being suspended for a week by Twitter at his @ali account, roughly at the same time Trump was on Wednesday, Akbar has tried to use other social media outlets to defend himself.

For the last two days, Alexander has made contradictory statements in rambling videos, claiming he's for violence, but against it, and he also began bashing Trump.

Yesterday, on a Periscope video (see link), posted at the StopTheStealUS twitter account, Alexander profusely defended himself - but alternated between praising insurrectionists wanted for domestic terrorism for breaking windows and storming the US Capitol, while the Vice President and Congress were certifying the results of the election, that Alexander has vociferously contested, with no real evidence to back up his claims - and condemning violence.

He blamed "mass psychology and peer pressure" as the reasons why most had gone into the US Capitol building, but that "99.9%" of the protesters on Wednesday "did nothing wrong."

The Stop the Steal tweet reads: "@Ali Alexander, calls for PEACE, Twitter suspends him for 7 days. Please share." He called on Twitter to stop suspending accounts that were needed for the "coming civil war."

Alexander began turning against Trump in the video, yet his entire Stop the Steal movement was formed to defend Trump.

"I'm disappointed that the president has pumped the gas and the brakes," Alexander complained, adding: "A lot of these failings are his own. The fact that Trump did not regulate big tech when they were regulating our speech illegally was a failing. He did not recognize the moral importance of the issue there and that was his own arrogance."

Everyone from the government to the Supreme Court to the US Senate and anyone "not well read" is "illegitimate", according to Alexander.

Alexander kept saying he was against violence, but that it was wrong to say he denounces all violence. He oddly called anyone that calls the police or uses a bodyguard a hypocrite, because those are acts of "force." Yet, one day later, Alexander began asking for money so he could hire a full-time bodyguard.

He "doesn't denounce all violence," but does support violent "revolutionary acts against tyranny" or to defend women and children.

"Force is an unfortunate, natural, and justified, and obvious end to the threat of other force," Alexander stated.

Today, Alexander complained about another Twitter suspension ("Twitter just suspended General Flynn. We are under attack") and quoted Rush Limbaugh on Parler (see link), a right-wing leaning social media network that is less stringent about hate speech and threats than Twitter: "There’s a lot of conservatives on social media who say that any violence or aggression at all is unacceptable, regardless of the circumstances. I’m glad Sam Adams, Thomas Paine — the actual Tea Party guys, the men at Lexington and Concord — didn’t feel that way."

Later today, the @StopTheStealUS twitter account showcased another Periscope video, while claiming he was "being targeted by ANTIFA" and "forced to flee DC."

"I won't take an iota of blame that doesn't belong to me," Ali intones slowly but firmly.

Alexander calls comments by Trump that criticized protesters on Wednesday "frankly reckless" and comments by Democrats about BLM demonstrations during the summer were "satanic and demonic." But, even though he sported a Stop the Steal sweatshirt, he only mentioned Trump once or twice during the entire video.

Then he spent much of the video, defending nearly every single person involved in what is widely being called domestic terrorism and sedition, arguing that they might have "violated norms, but remained broadly peaceful." In contrast, Alexander argued, Black Lives Matters demonstrations were far worse than what transpired on Wednesday. He doesn't even seem to think many people violated laws this week, but, that, in contrast, Antifa and BLM protesters were committing "heinous crimes, destroying businesses and lives, and assassinating police officers", despite Democrats calling it the "summer of love."

Alexander believes no one should have gone inside to begin with, but blasted anyone on the right or in law enforcement who were "maligning the patriots that followed" a few "agitators" into the US Capitol building. No one that entered the building that didn't destroy property or commit violence should be facing charges, according to Alexander. He also called Vice President Pence a "scumbag."

Alexander repeatedly said "I will sue your fucking ass" if you blame anyone in the Stop The Steal movement for anything that happened on Wednesday. "My rally never turned violent," Alexander insists.

(1/26th Update: I just noticed that I accidently deleted parts of my last paragraph, where I noted that Ali Alexander threatened to sue the FBI, and said he would "fight the FBI." I'll try to find the video, so I can add direct quotes regarding that.)

According to Alexander, he and Alex Jones - a crackpot conspiracy theorist (who I saw personally trying to get protesters to attack police officers at the WTC remains during the 2004 RNC) - acted like heroes, on the outside of the building, on the steps. And he made up conspiracy theories, blaming Antifa for all the bombs that are being found around D.C.

In the video posted yesterday, Alexander claimed that Secret Service agents escorted him and Jones away from the initial rally, before Trump finished his speech, so that they could "be servant leaders" and march to the US Capitol to "help rescue people", and that they "could have died" doing it. They led 25,000 to the backside of the Capitol, according to Alexander, then went to the top of the steps, and allegedly asked everyone else to back down the steps, but they were overwhelmed.

(Update:On Saturday, January 9, 2021, @andrewkimmel tweeted a video of Infowars' Alex Jones, in which the "performance artist" asserts that "the White House told him three days before" the rally: "We're gonna have you lead the march, the Secret Service, before Trump finishes thirty minutes before...and take you out of the front row and lead you to the place where they want you to start the march and Trump will tell people, 'go and have a meet at the Capitol.'")

Alexander argued that everyone was only rowdy outside, but since no one was harmed, it was all justifiable.

In the second video he posted today, Alexander used lots of profane language, while also claiming that he was called on by Jesus Christ to lead the Stop the Steal movement.

He said that his followers should remain "truthful, moral and rowdy", but not "violent, yet." Then, he whipped himself into a fury, advocating violence against the government in other circumstances: "If the government starts pushing us into camps, I say get violent. I say get very violent. If the government seeks to take your children away from you, get violent. If the government seeks to force shots into you or put chemicals inside you, you should get violent."

As usual, Alexander asked for money, and complained about others who called it "begging."

"My friends, we've been asked to walk on water, Alexander said, "so, lets walk on water."

According to a video posted today by controversial (see link) journalist Greg Palast - who helped expose voter purges in Georgia a few years ago (see link) - Alexander was at a protest in Georgia in December with Alex Jones outside the governor's mansion, where he screamed through a bullhorn, "We'll burn the whole shit down!" (see link)

Also in December, the Associated Press reported (see link): "The Arizona Republican Party late Monday appeared to ask supporters to consider dying to keep Trump in office. The state party’s official Twitter account retweeted conservative activist Ali Alexander’s pledge that he was “willing to give my life for this fight."He is. Are you?” the Arizona GOP added."

From an article posted at the Anti-Defamation League (see link): "Many extremist and mainstream Trump supporters are framing the rallies as a last stand to prevent Biden from being sworn in as the next President, and some chatter indicates that there is a desire to engage in radical and sometimes violent tactics to ensure that the election is not stolen from President Trump. For instance, “Stop the Steal/Wild Protest” organizer Ali Alexander warned in video posted on Twitter on December 27, 2020 that if President Trump tells people not to leave D.C. then he will not leave and he will have truckers sit on the bridges so that no one else can get out."

UPDATES

On Friday 1/8/21, CNN reported, "Ali Alexander, a political activist who has organized pro-Trump rallies, including one of the demonstrations that converged on the Capitol lawn Wednesday, accused the left of 'trying to push us to war.' In late December, Alexander told followers on Periscope that he and three GOP congressman -- Reps. Paul Gosar and Andy Biggs of Arizona and Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama -- were planning something big."

CNN's investigtive team - Rob Kuznia, Curt Devine, Scott Bronstein and Bob Ortega - reported that Alexander said on the video: "It was to build momentum and pressure and then on the day change hearts and minds of Congress peoples who weren't yet decided or who saw everyone outside and said, 'I can't be on the other side of that mob.'"

A spokesman for Rep. Biggs told CNN: "Congressman Biggs is not aware of hearing of or meeting Mr. Alexander at any point -- let alone working with him to organize some part of a planned protest. He did not have any contact with protestors or rioters, nor did he ever encourage or foster the rally or protests. He was focused on his research and arguments to work within the confines of the law and established precedent to restore integrity to our elections, and to ensure that all Americans -- regardless of party affiliation -- can again have complete trust in our elections systems."

Alexander claimed that he "was the one who came up with the January 6th idea with Congressman Gosar, Congressman Mo Brooks and, then Congressman Andy Biggs. We forced schemed up of putting maximum pressure on Congress while they were voting so that who we couldn't lobby we could change the hearts and the minds of Republicans who were in that body hearing our loud war from outside."

At a Stop the Steal rally held in Phoenix, Arizona on December 19, 2020, Ali said: “We will not go quietly. We’ll shut down this country if we have to." Congressman Paul Gosar also spoke at the rally, and tweeted: "I took the stage and made it mine. Arizona patriots are not giving up. Some conspiracy theorists claim, without evidence, that it was a fair election. Right. #StopTheSteaI2020."

"Smile," Gosar said at the Stop the Steal rally (see video), "Arizona and the USA are worth fighting for." After a woman from the crowd shouted out the New Hampshire state motto, Gosar repeated it: "Absolutely, live free or die."

While he didn't attend the rally, Congressman Andy Biggs did address the crowd by phone (link).

However, Biggs and Alexander were interviewed in Washington, D.C. by Brave Hearts host Sean Lin, who wrote on December 14, 2020 (see video), "After the huge Stop The Steal Rally over the past weekend, we had dialogues with Congressman Andy Biggs from Arizona, religious leader Brian Gibson, and his wife Jessica Gibson, along with Stop The Steal organizer Ali Alexander about Trump's campaign's path forward and their challenges ahead."

Alexander told Lin that Brooks would object to the certification on January 6, and that they would prove "foreign agitators and domestic enemies" had "compromised our election in key swing states."

Biggs and Alexander don't appear on camera together, but Lin is wearing the same clothes, and the interviews took place at the same location, as shown in the following screenshots:

EDITOR'S NOTE:

Alexander's history as a felon was first revealed by a blogger who called himself Liberal Grouch in 2012, while I was being falsely sued for a series of swattings committed against conservatives, related to Weinergate, and I was wrongly accused of working with convicted bomber Brett Kimberlin and accused cyberstalker Neal Rauhauser. Ali helped spread lies about me, and raised money for the multi-million dollar lawsuit that was tossed out of court. Liberal Grouch defended Kimberlin and Rauhauser, but viciously smeared me, and has also been accused of cyberstalking by a few far right bloggers that worked with Ali Alexander.

As a result, even though I've reported on Alexander many times since 2012, including just a few days before the Georgia Senate run-off, it's been extremely difficult to get mainstream media journalists to report on the Stop the Steal founder's many ties to the Romney president campaign, Senator Ted Cruz, and other established conservatives, instead of the far right kooks that Ali has mostly worked with since Trump was elected president in 2016.

I've had the same problem trying to get journalists to report on my stories about Kimberlin and Rauhauser, who have a long history of spreading hoaxes about Republicans during presidential races.

Past stories include:

Washington Post journalist Philip Bump ignores tips regarding convicted felon Ali Alexander's ties to Team Romney

Former Leadership Institute operative linked to a convicted felon now works for Romney campaign

Team Romney Did Not Quietly Fire Social Media Director Bill Murphy

Washington Post journalist Philip Bump ignores tips regarding convicted felon Ali Alexander's ties to Team Romney

2012 Mitt Romney POTUS campaign Digital Director Zac Moffatt - now, Targeted Victory CEO - blocked me after I exposed Social Media Director Bill Murphy tweets about "race war", then scrubbed tweets to Ali Akbar Alexander. Now, Moffat's firm could be working on Georgia Senate run-offs.

UPDATE: On July 11, 2019, Marie C. Baca reported for The Washington Post that Ali Alexander and Zack Moffat were both at President Trump's social media summit. Roca wrote that "[an] attendee with mainstream credentials was Zac Moffatt, chief executive of Targeted Victory, a Republican-leaning digital strategy and marketing firm, who was digital director for Republican Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign" and that "Gateway Pundit founder Jim Hoft, who has long been criticized for spreading conspiracy theories online, was there as was Ali Alexander, who recently became notorious for questioning in an inflammatory tweet whether Sen. Kamala D. Harris (Calif.), a Democratic presidential candidate, was actually an “American black.” However, Alexander's ties to the Romney campaign and Moffatt were not reported.

Less than a month ago,Washington Post journalist Philip Bump wrote a story called "A decade of wringing money and power out of conservative victimhood nears its apex", which began with a paragraph about Ali Akbar Alexander, who first entered the limelight eight years ago, when he helped raise money for an absurd lawsuit against me, falsely accusing me of being in a conspiracy with convicted bomber Brett Kimberlin and cyber-stalking hoaxer Neal Rauhauser to commit swattings against conservatives, that was dismissed with prejudice.

Bump wrote: "Ali Alexander is a right-wing personality who has worked with a rogue’s gallery of notorious characters in that world: Alex Jones, Roger Stone, Jacob Wohl, Laura Loomer, you name it. A decade ago, he was flitting around on the fringes of the conservative movement where his past legal troubles contributed to scrutiny of his efforts to raise funds for an online publishing venture. Now, he identifies himself as 'national organizer' for 'Stop the Steal,' an organization which adopts the tagline of President Trump’s ploy to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election."

However, Bump and other journalists have ignored for eight years, my reporting on Ali Alexander's ties to Republican Congresspeople and other important figures in the GOP who aren't considered "notorious characters."

I sent Bump emails, DMs and tweets trying to get him to respond to stories I've written, and additional research I have on Alexander's past, but like other journos, he ignored my tips, but then at least immediately blocked me, after I gave up and asked him, so I could write this article.

Days before the Georgia Senate run-off, which could completely change which political party controls the chamber, Bump chose to ignore these initial DMs - cleaned up just a bit for clarity's sake - that I sent him on Saturday.

"Hello, for the last 8 years I haven't been able to get one journalist to report on Target Victory CEO Zac Moffatt's ties to felon and fraudster Ali Alexander aka Ali Akbar and how he scrubbed all evidence of it. Even though my reporting led to their mutual pal (and longtime Akbar colleague) Bill Murphy who was Mitt Romney's Digital Media Director but had to stop tweeting the day before Romney's speech at the RNC in 2012 and he scrubbed his blog and resume because i exposed their ties to Akbar while he was still on probation and showed that Murphy had used that same twitter account to tweet about 'race war' and hype Ali Akbar."

I continued: "Bill Murphy then went to work for the Senate Republican Committee for two years, because no one will report on what I reported as it happened and in other articles (LINK). Eight years, and still not one journalist I've contacted will report on any of this, plus tons of other research i have about Ali Akbar's past. Also, none of you report on the fact that when Ali Akbar got booted from CPAC, the only person that showed up was Sen.Ted Cruz."

"Isn't it more important to report on this Stop the Steal fraudster's ties to actual legit republicans than his ties to wackadoos on the right?" I added. "I mean, wtf, how is it not a story that Alexander is tied to the Romney presidential campaign in 2012"?

After he ignored my DMs, even though he had just tweeted, I tweeted: "After 8 years, I still can't get 1 MSM journalist to report on ties between Stop the Steal fraudster, convicted felon Ali Akbar aka Ali Alexanderm & the 2012 Mitt Romney POTUS campaign. I'm sure @pbump will be the latest journo to ignore my tweets & DMs."

Still getting no response, I made another tweet: "2012 Mitt Romney POTUS campaign Digital Director Zac Moffatt - now, Targeted Victory CEO - blocked me after I exposed Social Media Director Bill Murphy tweets about "race war", then scrubbed tweets to Ali Akbar Alexander. [Huffington Post reporter] @LukeOBrien won't report on this.

Giving Bump the benefit of the doubt, that he might have not read what I sent him, I wrote an email to him that included my DMs and my entire story, with this header: "No one will report on Ali Akbar Alexander ties to Mitt Romney & Ted Cruz." A second email asked, "How is this still not a story?"

I waited a day, but Bump didn't respond and since time was running out before the run-off, I sent him more DMs: "Seriously, are you going to ignore all my tweets, DMs and emails about this? Someone eventually will report on this all....it's a shame that you've chosen to ignore me. I used to love WaPo more than anything in the world....until you hired back Dave Weigel, who decided to threaten me in an email that your outgoing Managing Editor Kevin Merida personally apologized to me over. Is it because you just blacklist me or would it be inconvenient to report about Mitt Romney,now?"

I then sent him the screenshot, displayed below, figuring that would finally attract his attention, since Moffatt's firm could be working on the run-off election, too.

Losing my patience, I added, "See, that, Phil? I'm about to tweet how you are ignoring that I've tied Targeted Victory to Ali Akbar...and they were paid millions just a few months ago by the Georgia Action Fund. That's a really good look for you." Then I showed why it could be important in the following tweet with the screenshot appended: "Zac Moffatt's firm, Targeted Victory, was paid $4,257,259 by the Georgia Action Fund just before the election, yet @PBump ignores emails, tweets & DMs about my article proving ties to Stop the Steal hoaxer Ali Akbar Alexander & how Zac scrubbed his tweets."

I waited a few more hours, but still didn't hear back from Bump, so then I got a bit angrier, which I believe was justified, but I'm sure many of my longtime critics will just use these final DMs as excuses on why my reporting is often ignored, no matter how important it could be to readers.

"You should have contacted me to begin with when you reported on Ali Akbar," I complained, then added: "I just don't understand why you all refuse to report on any of this or anything I break. I've worked with John Solomon, Tom Fitton and Chuck Johnson, and many other people connected to Trump scandals surrounding WikiLeaks etc. No one uses my research. No one contacts me to interview me. You all ignore what many of these people did to me.It's absurd."

Bump finally proved he read these DMs, at least, because he blocked me, immediately after I sent them: "Can you just please block me on Twitter, so I can add that to my stories? So, that, when they do eventually break, you make yourself look worse? You know who else is connected to Ali Alexander Akbar? Dave Weigel. He wrote countless stories on Ali Alexander and his little group of pals on the far right for years at different media outlets, without revealing he was pals with them all. They used to hang out and get drinks. Ali Alexander and Bill Murphy worked together on the Bob Turner campaign after Weiner resigned."

My final DMs included some information about other research I had, and which the Washington Post ignored when I proved it in countless emails to Merida and other editors: "Instead of reporting on Ali Alexander's work and relationship with elected Republicans etc. you all only note his connections to the far right fringe people. There are countless FEC violations committed by Dan Backer with all these people. Ladd Ehrlinger was bought and paid for, and he created commercials for many of these people, plus he was involved in the SuperPAC Supreme Court decisions, which Trump SuperPAC treasurer Dan Backer won, and changed all of politics. And Ladd, Backer and Akbar have a convoluted history, but Dave Weigel refuses to probe those connections, he'd rather get drunk with them, and shill for them."

I added: "It's outrageous. Then you wonder why people fall for fake news. Because you all just ignore tips....barely do any research....but find lots of time to tweet and retweet your pals at other media outlets, while ignoring criticism, tips, etc.Why do you even put your email address on your twitter account if you can't even respond to emails? It's really sad. You're like the deaf, dumb and blind monkeys all combined in one."

"Okay, Philip, I give up," I continued, "It's been real nice talking to a brick wall. I'll return to the search to find journalists who are willing to report on all the things these wackadoos have done...their ties to established GOP...and then I guess publish all these emails, tips etc that I sent in vain to journos who ignored them. The Washington Post has plagiarized me many times over the years....so don't do it again."

(Editor's Note: In a future article, I will go into greater detail on the numberous emails I sent to the Washington Post regarding how Weigel had shilled for Alexander and his pals, without noting his friendship with them all. As one example, on April 3, 2013 Weigel reported for Slate: "Simple: The Bostic campaign bet late on social media without really understanding its relevance. In the short two-week stretch of the runoff, the campaign hired roving new media guru Ali Akbar to beef up its presence. Akbar bought the web domain “TrustCurtis.com,” and hashtagged the slogan. Rick Santorum, whose PAC has co-sponsored Akbar’s CPAC 'Blog Bash' parties for two years running, flew down to South Carolina for one day of campaign events with Bostic. On Twitter, certainly, mentions of Bostic surged from nothing to something. ViralRead.com, a news site co-founded by Akbar in 2012, became a one-stop shop for #SC01 news, with a jaundiced view of Sanford.")
