Bellingcat was exposed as a literal US/UK intelligence op by Grayzone.
He's been running a rehabilitation/disinformation campaign in western media to cover that fact up. Nice work, Vice.

@@shadow.banned this is exactly right. Bellingcat are nothing like wikileaks they are basically the state endorsed version of "whistle-blowers" its a joke and they only serve to spread disinformation and propaganda. For those of you who are sensible rational people, i urge you to take time to read about them and reach this conclusion yourself.

True that. Heard that loud and clear

The work that is done by people at Bellingcat and people like Assange, Snowden etc. is invaluable in this age.

Snowden fled to Russia...he literally claimed The US was being excessive and becoming a police state then fled to a police state...Snowden and this guy are nowhere near the same!

I mean - you can imagine why they can do more stories about domestic topics though, right? Not that many reporters want to go to warzones, and I imagine they lose some of those reporters or they quit pretty often too.
Like seriously, how spoiled can you be to say "Man, I'm just so upset fewer people are willing to put their life on the line for my education so that I have to wait longer for big war documentaries. How dare they fill the space with videos on other socially important topics that are far less dangerous!"

Fact!
So true. The truth seekers should be celebrated.
The assassins? I completely agree!!!
Seriously? Microsoft as well as ALL the social media platforms, including GOOGLE, were funded by the CIA. Microsoft as well as all those other companies are now manufacturing and have their R&D in Israel. Not to mention all these ... "highly intelligent young entrepreneurs" ... came from families with deep state ties to banking, military intelligence, or Israeli intelligence, etc, and have well-connected wealthy families
The first mention that someone that works for Microsoft works for this company should be your first clue. QUESTION EVERYTHING!

A Bulgarian journalist did in fact expose the CIA back in 2017 for smuggling weapons to ISIS and Al Nusra in Syria back in 2017 and she was fired after being interrogated. This vice report is very narrow and sets a narrative that the CIA are not in fact funding terrorists even though they have since the 1970's Here are the reports. Please read and dont believe the propaganda that Vice or CNN spews. Main stream media will burry these as best as they can.

While the AC-130 “footage” is laughable and clearly faked, we don’t need Russian disinformation to show that the US and our allies, mainly Saudi Arabia, are more than willing to support extremist groups in the Middle East.
For example, this 2012 defense intelligence agency document states our strategic alliance with groups like Al Qaeda, and that “It is possible to establish a salafist principality in eastern Syria, which is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want, in order to isolate the Syrian regime.”
www.judicialwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Pg.-291-Pgs.-287-293-JW-v-DOD-and-State-14-812-DOD-Release-2015-04-10-final-version11.pdf
A state department cable from 2009 shows that Saudi Arabia “remains a critical financial support base for al-Qaeda and the Taliban.”

Under the Timber Sycamore program in 2012, US weapons ended up in the hands of the Islamic state.
“Two rebel commanders and a United Kingdom weapons monitoring organization maintain that MOC-supplied weapons have made their way to ISIL forces.”

This guys is awesome. Keep up the good work
To me, that AC-130 screencap really seems like a RU troll attempt to confuse everything.
A friend of mine from Russia once told me about how most propaganda is created by old men with very little understanding of modern scepticism, and so when you watch TV in Russia its painfully obvious when something is made by the propaganda departments because its crazy unprofessional and sounds like it was made during the cold war
I'm surprised cathy Newman being there she didn't constantly interrupt with " so what you're saying is ..."

The intelligence agencies are the reason why this guy exists. Don't you know who the real crims are with all their setups and misdirection. Exactly what the Covid event is, there never was anything doing, yet all supposed fkn adults wearing masks and being told what to do and when under threat.

This video was uploaded in March 2021. A two months later, the Czech government found that the two GRU agents were also involved in the explosion of Czech weapon storage in 2014. How did the Czechs found out? They went on bellingcat website and listened to 2 years-old podcast in which the bellingcat's members talk about the suspicion and evidence in regards to the involvement of the Russian agents in the explosion o the weapon storage. This caused one of the most serious international scandals for the Czechs since 1989. Bellingcat is doing great work.
