🚨 Ali Alexander and Rep Paul Gosar (R-AZ)
The insurrection of the US State Capitol on January 6th.
THREAD
There are many players who participated and supported what occurred on January 6th at the US State Capitol but the two main players in this thread are:
1) Ali Alexander (formerly Ali Akbar)
2) Rep Paul Gosar (R-AZ)
Ali Alexander a convicted felon and lead organizer of the "Stop the steal" group.
Ali has been active & been one of the most prominent voices over the last couple of years in promoting disinfo, organizing right-wing events, and supporting other right-wing icons.
Rep Paul Gosar is a Republican Representative from Arizona.
Rep Paul Gosar has spent the last year also promoting disinformation, aiding in spreading awareness of right-wing events, and supporting other right-wing icons
Ali Alexander has been very active on Twitter over the last few years

Rep Paul Gosar has also been very active on Twitter utilizing two accounts both with lots of information I'll be using in this thread.

@DrPaulGosar - twitter.com/drpaulgosar
Ali Alexander directly implicated Rep Paul Gosar (R-AZ) in one of his videos saying:
"I was the person who came up with the January 6th idea with Congressman Gosar...we 4 schemed up a maximum pressure on congress while they were voting..."
Before continuing it's important to highlight just what happened on January 6th and the oddly suspicious timing of Rep Lauren Boebert's objections, Rep Paul Gosar's objections, and the breaching/evacuation of the US State Capitol.
They occurred within ~25 minutes of each other.
Interestingly, Rep Paul Gosar was stopped mid-objection due to the House recess being called because of the insurrection and subsequent evacuation.
It appears Ali and Rep Gosar's earliest connection between them both on Twitter occurred on the 9th of Feb 2020.
Over the next year, their correspondence ramped up but of specific importance was the post-election period.
Here's an image of Gosar sparing w/ AOC tagging Ali +"Stop the steal" on the 6th of Nov.
Here's an image of Gosar congratulating Ali on his work on the 15th of Nov 2020.
On the 19th of Dec, Ali attended a Pro-Trump rally at Arizona's state capitol promoting "stop the steal" and as @thedailybeast reports "went on to use “yet” as a code word for violence."
On the 22nd of Dec - Ali tweeted this image (courtesy of @BanksResearcher) where he was "hoping this call changed the world".
It appears he was high-level officials. It's possible that he was talking to the implicated GOP Congressmen @RepGosar, @RepMoBrooks, and @RepAndyBiggsAZ
On the 25th of December Ali posted that he "is the last stop before civil war"
During this mid-late December period Rep Paul Gosar was also promoting stop the steal.
In late December/early January 20/21 Ali Alexander had been traveling around the country riling the crowds up at "Stop the steal" rallies
At this rally, the video starts with Ali Alexander saying "1776 is always an option"
It also leads to the crowd chanting "1776".
Here's what Ali was saying on the days leading up to the insurrection/coup.
Jan 4th: "DC becomes FORT TRUMP starting tomorrow on my orders"
Jan 4th: "I intend to keep our republic at any cost...Join us"
Jan 4th: "We are Peaceful 1776 Protestors!..."
(Note 1776 symbolism)
On the 5th of January, Paul Gosar quote tweeted @RepAndyBiggsAZ.
Also on January 5th Paul Gosar tweeted about the January 6th Trump rally and called for others to "FIGHT FOR TRUMP" and "HOLD THE LINE"
On January 6th he welcomed the "Patriots".
On the 6th of January - the day of the insurrection/coup Ali Alexander tweeted:
"First official day of the rebellion"
On January 6th Ali Alexander and Paul Gosar both got their talking points and tweeted.
"Anti-Fa agitation!" and "All Antifa"
Interestingly Matt Gaetz (who was also seen calmly on his phone not interested in his gas mask) also claimed it was Anti-fa without any proof just after the House resumed.
See this thread
On January the 7th Rep Paul Gosar agreed with the insurrection/coup by saying "This is on you. The people demand transparency"
Seems incriminating to me.
On January 7th
He also tweeted:
- Biden should concede. I want his concession on my desk tomorrow morning. Don't make me come over there."
Notice how Ali Alexander was linked to this tweet with @ali next to #StopTheSteal2021.
On January 7th he also tweeted a video of his potential co-conspirator Mo Brooks saying "Great Job brother"
He also tweeted "A million voices demand justice. Not even Biden thinks he won.
Moving back in time for a second.
On the 24th of November, 2020 Rep Paul Gosar tweeted this reference linking Trump supporters to Japanese soldiers who kept on fighting for decades after the Japanese had surrendered.
Note Ali Alexander "@ali" is linked in to the tweet.
At 16:26PM on Jan the 6th Ali released a statement during the insurrection stating that:
"I don't disavow this, I do not denounce this"
"Stopthesteal.... is going to be the home of the rebellion against an illegitimate government."
He knew exactly what was happening.
At the January 5th Pro-Trump Pre-DC rally - the evening before the insurrection of the US State Capitol.
Ali yelled to the crowd: "Victory or death' to which the crowd chants along.
He then declares, "We're starting a rebellion against the deep state."
Co-Conspirators implicated by Ali Alexander:
- Rep Paul Gosar (R-AZ)
- Rep Mo Brooks (R-AL)
- Rep Andy Biggs (R-AZ)
It's not just the three GOP congressmen that were conspiring with Ali Alexander.
It appears to be the whole of the Arizona GOP.
Interestingly, they have appeared to scrub most references to Ali on their Twitter page.

It appears that the link between the Arizona GOP and Ali Alexander/Stop The Steal is connected all the way down to its most fundamental levels.
Ali Alexander claims that up to 50 Arizona GOP are involved in Stop The Steal in some way.
Ali Alexander worked closely with powerful, influential, and dark money groups/people like The Council For National Policy, Stone, Flynn, Bannon etc to rapidly explode into ALL 50 states within DAYS of reviving "Stop The Steal".
It was a coordinated op.
Great video by @Greg_Palast linking Ali Alexander to the Georgia Republican Party and the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
"We'll light the whole shit on fire" - Ali Alexander.
Incredibly, Rep. Paul Gosar's brother Tim Gosar claims that Rep. Paul Gosar was an "organizer" and a "mastermind" of the "plot to do what was done last week" and that he committed "treason" and "insurrection."
Ali Alexander hands the mic to Rep Paul Gosar at a Stop the Steal event in November 2020
(from @jason_paladino - see his Ali/Gosar threads for more receipts)
While Gosar was on the ground, Biggs was "fighting" in Washington.
"Congressman Gosar has been the spirit animal of this movement...one of the other heroes has been Congressman Andy biggs" - Ali Alexander.
At the same rally, Ali Alexander plays a message to the crowd from Andy Biggs.
Once he's done with the video message Ali Alexander and the crowd proceed to yell "Biggs!, Biggs!, Biggs!...."
(See tweet after the quoted tweet for the (Biggs!" chant)
In this video Ali Alexander in reference to his work with Andy Biggs:
"Congressman Andy Biggs not only whip upvotes in the house but also let ME know who the soft senators were..." - Ali Alexander
