A tranche of texts between Alexander and an insurrectionist Arizona politician reveals new bombshells, including the location of the insurrectionists' war room on January 6—just 240 feet from Trump's.
The FBI needs to put you on their payroll since you are doing their investigation for them. What is it going to take before seditious conspiracy charges can be levied?
Seth - Not sure what to do with this info, but Ali Alexander is active on the Clubhouse app (https://www.clubhouse.com/@alialexander), usually in rooms about Bitclout and other blockchain related topics. In fact, he is scheduled to be on a panel tonight at 8PM EST called "Bitclout New Extension @CloutFaves".
I suspect the FBI knows exactly where Ali. He's not in jail because they aren't ready to arrest him. I'm fairly sure he's cooperating and spilling every secret he knows to save his a$$.
A few thoughts: The encrypted phone sting led by the FBI (and the AFP) was utterly IMMENSE! I definitely feel it in my bones that plenty of insurrectionist data was captured in this way. I feel certain at least one Trump child has been recorded in this sting, and if that's the case, then it is a logical assumption that more (higher-up) conspirators have been caught, and I'm so very hopeful that Ali A is one of them. I just wonder, and would love some thoughts from commenters here, considering Ali was 99% certain to be the (failed) pipe-bomber, how would the FBI want to play this? Use him as a honeypot unbeknownst to Ali himself? Tell him his only way to avoid life in prison is to entrap others? I mean, it's pretty hard to just overlook attempted bombings, even if you do want others to flip. Perhaps they would negotiate for reduced sentencing? If I were one of the co-conspirators, I would want to offload Ali immediately if only to save myself. I am hopeful that the delay in his overt capture is that somehow he is being used. A useful idiot, but this time perhaps, useful to the good guys.
Mostly I suppose - circumstantial? He was videoed on a rooftop speaking about the 'stop the steal' movement while overlooking the bomb-planted areas at approximately the same time the pipe bombs were supposed to go off, wearing a dapper suit, and as has been said, it's as though he was trying to capture his handiwork live while speaking to camera. It is a pretty big coincidence. Also, several pictorial comparisons on twitter of still pictures of his stance/arm length-to-body-length ratios, broad shoulders, larger torso to legs ratio, arms with a slight outward curvature etc, and videos that compare his gait - a slight tendency to bowed legs/outward knees when shifting his weight etc, same exact stance and proportions, broad flat shoulders with a slight frame. Also, I am personally convinced. I have justifiable confidence in my recognition abilities as I took a legitimate test with ASIO, and while I was shite at being upgraded to first class, and I was shite at hearing a single conversation in a large area full of conversations, I got full marks for physical recognition, with written confirmation from ASIO that I was considered to be in the highest level of this particular skill. Additionally, you can imagine the conspirators, the ones at the top, would not really want a traceable and less able peon to do something as delicate and important as place pipe bombs. It's easy to imagine they would give it to a highly trusted foot-soldier and zealot. The closer they held their bigger secrets, the better for all of them. I'm just wondering, how many people in their inner circle have the exact same height/stance/gait and zealous willingness to do something so vastly beyond the pale? Either way, I am personally certain, and there are many like me who've gone to the trouble of the pic comparisons. Every time I retrace my steps to find the original one I saw, it no longer exists, but anyone can make one of their own given some playtime on the net. I did find a video of him, full length, harassing someone on a megaphone that I think is pretty convincing for anyone with a good eye for physical recognition: https://www.mediaite.com/news/traitor-traitor-trump-supporters-fume-at-arizonas-republican-governor-after-state-certifies-election-for-biden/
Some one posted in a reply to Seth a few days back how someone had done some forensic work with body stance, gait, etc and it all matched to him. That’s all I know
I've wondered this myself. It is a plausible theory I think. Let's hope this is the case. If so, then justice might really end up being served. The FBI and Garland really need to throw us all a bone though!
I was looking through the Finchem texts, and I think the first one is with Paul Gosar not Ali Alexander. The first window actually names Gosar and the subsequent ones mention his chief of staff Tom Van Flein. It seems like Finchem was gathering signatures from Arizona house members backing fake electors, and Gosar was distributing them to Mike Pence and Republican Senetors for support. Note how both the Pennsylvania and Arizona congresses sent similar letters, and those were the ones challenged. I think this reveals their legislative strategy. They were waiting for all Republican State Congresses in swing states to write petitions backing fake Trump electors. This would explain why Giuliani was calling Sen Tuberville to stall for time. I suspect that this work might have been taking place in the Willard war room.
American terrorists take advantage of our free speech laws. They incite other people do terrorist acts. This is called stochastic terrorism. The incitement has to happen right before the violent act.
I don't agree that the FBI doesn't want to catch the ringleaders, but our free speech laws complicate this goal. Below are some quotes from a Feb. 20, 2021 article titled "U.S. investigating possible ties between Roger Stone, Alex Jones and Capitol rioters."
"The Justice Department and the FBI are investigating whether high-profile right-wing figures — including Roger Stone and Alex Jones — may have played a role in the Jan. 6 Capitol breach as part of a broader look into the mind-set of those who committed violence and their apparent paths to radicalization, according to people familiar with the investigation."
Because of the free speech laws, ringleaders may not be arrested:
"The investigation into potential ties between key figures in the riot and those who promoted former president Donald Trump’s false assertions that the election was stolen from him does not mean those who may have influenced rioters will face criminal charges, particularly given U.S. case law surrounding incitement and free speech, the people said. Officials at this stage said they are principally seeking to understand what the rioters were thinking — and who may have influenced beliefs — which could be critical to showing their intentions at trial."
"However, investigators also want to determine whether anyone who influenced them bears enough responsibility to justify potential criminal charges, such as conspiracy or aiding the effort, the officials said. That prospect is still distant and uncertain, they emphasized."
Now, if it turns out that some of the kingpins were collaborating with agents of the Russian military intelligence---for example GRU Unit 29155---the rules change, and the FBI can investigate these terrorists a lot more.
I think it is possible that unit 29155 was involved because they were involved in an attempted coup against the Parliament of Montenegro. They wanted to join NATO. Some GRU unit also took over the Parliament (RADA) in Crimea.
GRU Unit 29155 specializes in assassinations, subversion, and sabotage. They poison people, they take over government buildings, and they blow up munitions depots in Eastern Europe.
GRU officer Konstantin Kilimnik, who received voter data from Manafort in an American hotel gave the information to the GRU. Units of the GRU also post disinformation on our media and steal emails, etc. There are different units for different operations.
So, if the Feds know the GRU was involved in the insurrection, the gloves will come off and Roger Stone will be a little grease spot (figuratively-speaking). The FBI doesn't have to worry so much about free speech if you are working with a foreign power.
Of course, the above is just a hypothesis, but GRU Unit 29155 is extremely arrogant. Don't think they would be afraid to help American traitors storm the Congress. They are running all over the place in D. C. Remember Butina and the NRA? Russian operatives have even organized demonstrations in D.C. on the Internet, and people showed up.
This is called "hybrid warfare," and it's how the Russians roll these days. We used to call it "Soviet subversion."
I expect the FBI/DOJ would not tell us that the Russians were involved in the insurrection until they are ready to pounce.
Biden is going to sanction Russia again, but an official couldn't specify why.
Also, Biden told Putin what the red lines are.
As for Ali Alexander, he better run to the FBI before he runs into the Russians, if they were involved.
I have NO information that Russian operatives were involved in the insurrection. It's just that they collaborated pro-Russian Ukrainians when they stormed the Crimean parliament (RADA) and when they helped with the failed coup in Montenegro.
These two events remind me of what happened when our Capitol was stormed.
The Russians stormed the Parliament in Montenegro because they were going to vote to join NATO. In America, people stormed the Capitol to stop a vote, too.
Dr. Abramson--maybe you could explain how the laws are different if this was domestic terrorism as opposed to terrorism with foreign influence.
If you read some recent federal documents from the federal government, they are mentioning that the laws are different if foreign entities are involved.
"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."

So they better be able to snag him. Arrest Ali Akbar *now*
OMG. Seth, you did it again. what would we do without you?
WTF! Why aren’t they arrested?
I suspect the FBI knows exactly where Ali. He's not in jail because they aren't ready to arrest him. I'm fairly sure he's cooperating and spilling every secret he knows to save his a$$.
FBI Wray needs to go.
Putin needs to go. Wray is OK.

Great reporting, thank you. Arrests are coming soon, I’m hopeful.
Drip drip drip. Each day more information about the Jan 5th and Jan 6th insurrection come out thanks to you Seth!
It is infuriating Ali Alexander is not in FBI custody.
just a guess, but I have a feeling that a lot is going to happen while Biden is overseas.
It sounds like Alexander can connect more dots than most and probably knows he's worth more dead than alive.
Who are the suspected two senators - Cruz and ? I must have missed something.
Maybe he was using one of the FBI's encrypted phones and that's why they haven't nabbed him yet. I prefer to think it's something like that :-)

I've been wondering about this Aly guy. Thanks for tracking down his participation!
