'Stop the Steal' Movement Will 'Force' States Biden Won to Send Republican Electors to Electoral Col

Right-wing activist Ali Alexander, an organizer of Saturday’s “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington, D.C., took a bit of a victory lap at a much smaller “Defend Democracy” gathering the following day sponsored by the “Walk Away” movement and its leader Brandon Straka.

​Alexander was clearly feeling his oats after bringing thousands of Trump fans to D.C. He announced that he has told his organizers to stop applying for permits. “We’re going to peaceably assemble and if they punch us, we’re going to punch back,” he said.

​In the presidential election, President Donald Trump lost several key states to his Democratic opponent Joe Biden, an outcome that hard-core Trump supporters reject. Alexander said his team will “force” ​those battleground states to send Republican electors to the electoral college​, presumably to cast votes for Trump, even if they hail from states that were won by Biden.



Alexander had harsh words for the Republican establishment, saying that ​his Trumpist movement will continue into ​the 2022 ​midterm congressional elections, warning that “any Republican that doesn’t stand with Trump is out!”

“This party—and I’m talking to [Republican National Committee chair] Ronna McDaniel—will fly with us at the forefront or it will sink and we will kill it,” he added.

This is some seriously scary shit here. Ali Alexander is a terrorist and should be treated as such.

and putting hearsay and disinformation over facts and reality is insanity and treasonous, including to the values of this nation. These people hate democracy and should be treated as a fascist insurgency.

We do not prosecute people with the dictionary. As a legal charge, well-defined conditions must be met.

We have the House so they can't get away with anything while the votes are counted.

We can use the statements from Barr and others to put pressure to divide Republicans.

If he believes he's going to force states who voted for Biden to send Trump electors instead he's in for a major disappointment.

Some people are saying that Loeffler and Perdue in Georgia aren't obnoxious enough on Rump's behalf. I think Sparky should flex his muscle there first and withhold votes from them. That'll learn 'em.

That is their fantasy, but like the fantasy that the beautiful movie actress will sleep with you, it is just a fantasy. They'll be stuck taking things into their own hands, alone in their basements.

...and having failed to get the state legislatures to intervene, I figure it’s only a matter of time before Vanilla ISIS get hold of the lists of Biden electors and start threatening them or their families if they don’t switch their votes to Dear Leader.

A PAC he was involved with received funding from Robert Mercer.

He has a colorful criminal record, being a convicted felon:

A recent investigation by BU [Breitbart Unmasked] into Ali A. Akbar of The National Bloggers Club has revealed that he had been convicted in 2007 on charges of Credit Card Fraud and Theft 1500.00-20,000.00. It is interesting to note that Mr. Ali Akbar presents himself as a money man or political operative for the right wing conservative movement. Yet, as he blogs or tweets incessantly about the conviction of Brett Kimberlin, he himself has been convicted of Theft of Property and Credit Card Fraud back in 2007 in Fort Worth Texas.

...

Another blogger who goes by the handle Liberal Grouch has been blogging about Ali Akbar’s National Bloggers Club 501-c3 status on his blog and questioning Ali a number of times to prove he actually has been exempted by the IRS and given full 501-C3 status so he can ask for money while giving people a tax deduction for it. So far his numerous requests have fallen on deaf ears by Ali and his National Bloggers Club organization. I think it is quite revealing here to see that Mr. Akbar is supported by so many right wing conservative bloggers; who may or may not know about his criminal past or his numerous felony convictions.

...

UPDATE

Ali is preparing a statement(spin)and will release it shortly, but I have just seen a tweet from him that may show how he is going to spin it.

So he says this was about a 3 month drunk binge. OK, so he is claiming that this was some one time event based on drinking too much. OK, I can buy it. I know a number of people that have had problems with alcoholism who have done some pretty dreadful things while drunk or high or stoned or while inebriated. However, and let me make this a bit more clear: the case above was dated on 08/18/2007 on the booking date for the crimes committed which was burglary and the credit card fraud. But what about this:

That case above was 8 full months prior where he had a Theft 1500.00-20,000.00 case. So again, this is just more spin from Ali. It wasn’t because of a 3 month drunk binge, rather this was a pattern of criminal activity that extended almost a year. So this was a case of a guy who ripped someone off for anywhere between 1500.00 to 20,000.00 dollars, and then a full 8 months later went out again and committed newer crimes, which was burglary and credit card fraud. So while out on the first case, he continued a pattern of criminal activity that extended 8 months later where he was arrested yet again on newer charges. Sorry Ali, but that 3 month drunk binge was not entirely accurate now was it? Please Ali, tell the TRUTH for once in your life. Don’t lie and cover it up. You were a convicted felon who went out and committed new crimes while out on older crimes. This wasn’t just a youthful indiscretion based upon being stoned or on drugs or high on beer or whiskey bottles, this was a pattern of serious criminal activity. You may have plead it down to 2 cases in the end and they dropped the third, but you were still charged with multiple felonies spanning over a long period of time, and while you got out on a deferred adjudication in the end that allowed you to “VOTE” as you say, you were still charged with serious criminal cases prior. So you were a youthful criminal who profited off of your crimes while others suffered before you got to plead it out and move on.
