Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
As the reader is aware, Alex Berenson has been a pretty consistently good voice on the issue of the coronavirus hoax, almost from the beginning. His track record isn’t as good as mine, but as a former New York Times writer and then a normal paperback novel writer, he was in a better position to share data with the population.
I have criticized him over some things. Firstly, though his tweets are now deleted because his account is deleted, here’s a March 14, 2021 piece where I responded to Berenson claiming that the whole hoax had ended because the CDC had lightened up the mask mandates. I addressed the fact that he is working with bad data, claiming that this hoax somehow “is not a conspiracy.”
In October, I published an entire analysis of how absurd it is for him to continue to claim this is “not a conspiracy: Alex Berenson Still Thinks This Isn’t a Conspiracy?
That piece ties in to a recent piece I wrote about the fact that the conspiracy is totally documented and not a secret: The Coronavirus Hoax is Not Slowing Down and Nothing is Going Back to Normal
So, I’ve had my disagreements with Berenson. However, I accept that he’s a life-long establishment-type person who is not likely to overcome his various hard biases in his fifties, even if he is uniquely able to acknowledge some obvious facts that others raised in the establishment paradigm can’t see, and I’ve mostly just been thankful for what he does say.
Robert Malone is a mainstream virologist who has been involved in government and big pharma his whole life, who has come out and spoken against the vaccine. He recently had a viral interview with Joe Rogan, which got huge amounts of media attention, and triggered recent calls for Spotify to shut down Joe Rogan.
I also have my disagreements with Malone, who believes in the virus and claims to have had “long Covid.” As we’ve documented, “long Covid” is a fibromyalgia-tier psychosomatic condition. Malone also is very recently “red pilled” on the hoax, and is still in the process of being red pilled, and actually took the first shot of the vax – so one would wonder if he is actually experiencing health issues, why he’s not connecting them to the vax instead of the alleged coronavirus disease (which does not actually exist). I’m actually very impressed with Malone being open to new information at his age – I heard him on one interview say something to the effect of “people kept telling me about this World Economic Forum thing and it all sounded like a kooky conspiracy – and then I went to their website and read Klaus Schwab’s books and found that everything people were telling me was true.” With him, I also accept that as a life-long member of the scientific establishment, he’s got biases to deal with.
So, I have disagreements with both Berenson and Malone, and I have written them out, while also continuing to say that I respect and appreciate their work. I think whether you agree with me or them or disagree with all of us, we can all agree that this is fair enough, and in fact the way public discourse is supposed to function.
What I can tell you for certain is this: if I was invited onto a five-minute Fox News segment with Berenson and/or Malone, I would not use that opportunity to air my disagreements with them in an aggressive and demeaning manner – and yet, that is exactly what Alex Berenson decided to do to Robert Malone this weekend.
You should watch the clip. It’s really weird.
To be clear, this wasn’t framed as a “Berenson v. Malone” segment – it was intended to have two people who disagree with the narrative come on and share their thoughts. Berenson, in a pre-planned operation, took the opportunity to publicly attack Malone over what people might call minor disagreements (they are certainly much more minor than my disagreements with both of them, and again – never in my life would I consider doing something like this).
I might go so far as to describe Berenson’s behavior here as “inexplicable.”
For the record, his disagreements are with Malone’s assertion that he has the patents on which the current mRNA vaccines are based, and that Ivermectin is successful in treating the alleged Covid-19 disease.
I don’t know how minor or major Berenson views these disagreements, but he appeared unhinged, opening his segment with vitriol against a man who is – by all available accounts – on the same team as him.
To frame the attack, Berenson noted that they are both banned from social media, and said something to the effect of “we should both be allowed to disagree about this publicly and have this conversation without being censored.”
Malone responded professionally, and then went on to conduct the interview normally.
Although they are both now very censored, they both have SubStack accounts that presumably have significant readership. Malone responded to the Fox News event in a long SubStack post, posting all of his patents and so on.
I was personally delighted he used the word “bushwhacked” in the title of his post. It’s not only accurate, but it is a great word that simply is not used enough.
With regards to the dispute – which honestly, I don’t care about at all – Malone obviously didn’t invent modern coronavirus vaccines. What he did could be called “precursor research and development” or some other term. He did this in the 1980s and 90s, according to that SubStack post I just read, so obviously, there’s been significant development in the field since then. But I’ve never heard Malone claim anything different than that. I’m sure he’s been credited as “the inventor of coronavirus vaccines” by boomers on Facebook, but this is really a petty thing to bicker about in any context, let alone the context Berenson chose.
As far as the Ivermectin thing – whatever, I don’t know. I don’t believe the disease exists, but it’s shown success in treating respiratory illnesses that do exist, so I don’t really doubt the idea that people who are sick and diagnosed with “Covid-19” are helped by it. But again, small issue.
Malone ascribes Berenson’s attack to professional jealousy, while also suggesting he could be controlled opposition (which in itself suggests Malone might be getting redpilled a bit too fast).
I don’t think Berenson is controlled opposition. I don’t really see what purpose that would serve. He hasn’t tried to lead anything, and most of the information he puts out is good, even if he does “gatekeep” on the Great Reset. The professional jealousy theory might have something to it. Malone has gotten a huge amount of attention, while Berenson, who has been saying most of the same things for longer than Malone (including on the Joe Rogan show), has gotten less attention. This is partially due to Malone’s background and credentials, but probably more so due to the charisma gap.
Professional jealousy is definitely powerful. I’ve been shocked by the amount of people who have come after me, who allegedly agree with 98% of what I say, simply because I’m more popular than them. It can get really gross and pathetic, like what Berenson did on Fox.
I also think Berenson might be having some kind of personal crisis. For many months, in every TV interview I’ve seen, he looks disheveled, with bags under his eyes. He is probably experiencing a lot of backlash in his personal life for what he’s doing professionally, and that can be very difficult (I also know about that). He’s probably getting harassed by feds, he could have even been threatened. He could be facing a divorce, given that women will more or less universally abandon a man who is going through any kind of basic professional hardship, let alone someone who has become a pariah.
Anyway, although I denounce Berenson’s behavior, I don’t think he’s a shill. But you do have to ask: should he be invited back on TV? Well, not if he’s going to act like this. He should have to agree not to do this again. This was very weird and it looked really bad for both parties, and for the poor Fox News host.
I also think Berenson should issue some kind of apology to Malone.
Instead, he’s posted on his own SubStack a screenshot of a reply he sent to the Daily Beast requesting comments on his interaction with Malone.
Calling Malone “self-interested” is at least as bad as calling Berenson “controlled opposition.” Malone is an old man who could just as easily retire – or better yet, be brought on regularly on CNN as an expert pushing the Fauci line. But he’s decided to do this instead.
Actually, just looking at Berenson’s SubStack now, he’s apparently continuing the “it’s all over, the agenda failed” narrative.
So, hey – maybe he is controlled opposition? It’s definitely really stupid to claim that the vax agenda is over because the WHO issued a statement saying the vaccines don’t work. The head of Pfizer has already admitted this, and said he’s coming out with a new vaccine in March, which will work this time. No one in the media has questioned this or said we should stop taking nonstop vaccines, and there is no reason at all to believe that narrative is going to change. There’s especially not a reason to believe that narrative is going to change if you’ve read some of the articles on the World Economic Forum website or Klaus Schwab’s books.
But yes: everyone is on edge, everyone is acting weird, that is just what is happening. We’ve all seen it in our personal lives, with people we’ve known our whole lives behaving in ways we’d never have expected them to.
