Bellingcat? (New Cold War→The Battle For Power Continues)

New Cold War

Bellingcat?

Western propaganda

Bellingcat uses open source and social media investigation to investigate a variety of subjects, from Mexican drug lords to conflicts being fought across the world. Bellingcat brings together contributors who specialise in open source and social media investigation, and creates guides and case studies so others may learn to do the same.

Bellingcat is a group of people who make use of internet and social media to support their theories. In a report released by them, dated to 8 November 2014, its authors state "It is the opinion of the Bellingcat MH17 investigation team that there is undeniable evidence that separatists in Ukraine were in control of a Buk missile launcher on July 17th and transported it from Donetsk to Snizhne on a transporter" (see Origin of the Separatists' Buk: A Bellingcat Investigation + PDF). Many ignorants probably think this is impressive. But we know for fact that there still exists no hard evidence because nobody is convicted yet. Apparently they want us to believe that social media nerds know more than NATO and the Anglo-American intelligence apparatus which were all over Ukraine since the war broke out...

Eliot Higgins

Wikipedia - Eliot Higgins

Eliot Higgins, pseudonym Brown Moses, is a British citizen journalist and blogger, known for using open sources and social media to investigate ... the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. ... Eliot Higgins has been a subject of interest for the British and U.S. media. He has been profiled in print by The Guardian, The Independent, The Huffington Post, and The New Yorker. Television features have been run by Channel 4 News and CNN International.

Australia's "number one news site" news.com.au has an article titled "Bellingcat citizen journalist Eliot Higgins is holding global governments to account". Newsweek has one titled "Meet Eliot Higgins, Putin's MH17 Nemesis". Independent has an article titled "With Isis, Assad and Putin exposed, who's next on citizen journalist Eliot Higgins' list?" Obviously the mainstream media in the west want us to believe this the nerd solved all world events from behind his laptop when no international body was able to. The western media make themselves, the western power elite, and of course the western sheeple completely ridiculous again. Eliot Higgins is the guy behind Bellingcat. Before starting with Bellingcat he was known for his blog called Brown Moses. He presents theories based on social media. Many of the western mainstream media greedily take these as evidence without any further question. However...

Spiegel - 'Bellingcat Report Doesn't Prove Anything': Expert Criticizes Allegations of Russian MH17 Manipulation

From the perspective of forensics, the Bellingcat approach is not very robust. The core of what they are doing is based on so-called Error Level Analysis (ELA). The method is subjective and not based entirely on science. This is why there is not a single scientific paper that addresses it. ... Contrary to what Bellingcat claims, Error Level Analysis does not provide clear results. The conclusion is always based on the perspective of humans, on their interpretation.

Jens Kriese - Expert Criticizes Allegations of Russian MH17 Manipulation

And its founder Neal Krawetz also distanced himself from Bellingcat's conclusions on Twitter. He described it as a good example of "how to not do image analysis." What Bellingcat is doing is nothing more than reading tea leaves. Error Level Analysis is a method used by hobbyists.

Image forensics expert Jens Kriese calls Bellingcat's method "Kaffeesatzleserei". In other words, it's idle speculation. Bellingcat's way of working goes something like this: something bad happened, Russia did it, let's find evidence that fits with this conclusion. The western "fake" news media machine is running overtime; the "University" of Copenhagen released articles like "Satellite images prove Russian artillery strikes into Ukraine" and "We proved that Russia fired artillery into Ukraine". But fact remains that none of their "evidences" resulted in prosecution. Apparently anybody who presents a theory based on social media is presented by western media as trustworthy, of course only when it coincides with their own prefabricated narrative. Let's dive into the organizations affiliated with Bellingcat and Eliot Higgins...

Journalism.co.uk - New Bellingcat project to investigate cross-border corruption

Collaboration between Bellingcat, Hacks/Hackers London and the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) will share information on the latest open-source investigative tools and techniques.

Eliot Higgins - How I Became a One Man Intelligence Agency (11 August 2014)

Future projects involve working with the OCCRP and Hacks/Hackers London on tracking cross-border crime and corruption.

OCCRP - About us

OCCRP is supported by grants by the Open Society Foundation, Google Digital News Initiative, the Skoll Foundation, the Sigrid Rausing Trust, Google Jigsaw, the National Endowment for Democracy and the Knight Foundation. OCCRP also receives developmental funds for improving journalism from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ), the United States Department of State and the Swiss Confederation.

OCCRP sponsored by George Soros and USAID

Bellingcat is linked to the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP). Google is of course an important partner of the US intelligence network. OCCRP is sponsored by the Open Society Foundations, which is run by multi-billionaire George Soros, and by USAID...

Guardian - US secretly created 'Cuban Twitter' to stir unrest and undermine government

Documents show the US government planned to build a subscriber base through "non-controversial content": news messages on soccer, music, and hurricane updates. Later when the network reached a critical mass of subscribers, perhaps hundreds of thousands, operators would introduce political content aimed at inspiring Cubans to organize "smart mobs" — mass gatherings called at a moment's notice that might trigger a Cuban spring, or, as one USAid document put it, "renegotiate the balance of power between the state and society."

Catherine A. Traywick - 'Cuban Twitter' and Other Times USAID Pretended To Be an Intelligence Agency

Foreign governments have long accused the U.S. Agency for International Development of being a front for the CIA or other groups dedicated to their collapse. In the case of Cuba, they appear to have been right.

William Blum - The Anti-Empire Report: Indoctrinating a new generation

On June 21, 2012, the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA) issued a resolution calling for the immediate expulsion of USAID from their nine member countries, "due to the fact that we consider their presence and actions to constitute an interference which threatens the sovereignty and stability of our nations."

That's interesting. Like practically all western-based organizations USAID says about itself "We partner to end extreme poverty and promote resilient, democratic societies while advancing our security and prosperity". In recent years it was revealed that USAID is involved in working towards regime changes for the Anglo-American Empire. This is of course in line with the so-called colour revolutions around the world which are sponsored by the west of which Euromaidan was one. USAID worked in close relationship with none other then the CIA. The CIA happened to be in Ukraine in the lead up to the western-backed coup.

Open Society Foundations

George Soros established the Open Society Foundations to help countries make the transition from communism.

The Open Society Foundations is sponsored by none other than multi-billionaire and staunch anti-Russian George Soros who openly admits to work towards regime changes in former Soviet countries.

George Soros - thinks the future of the European Union is at risk over Ukraine

Russia has become a mafia state in which the rulers use the resources of the country to enrich themselves and to maintain themselves in power.

Guardian - George Soros: Russia poses existential threat to Europe (23 October 2014)

George Soros has warned that Russia's expansionism poses an existential threat to the EU and called for greater material support for Ukraine.

George Soros is a machiavellian deceiver. All power elite in the world enrich themselves and the Anglo-American kind top the list in this corrupt world. It's a hardcore fact that the Soviet Union collapsed and that Russia has not expanded. It's another hardcore fact that NATO expanded towards the Russian border since that time, which obviously is a military threat to Russia. So not surprisingly this multi-billionaire is a blatant liar and hypocrite with an agenda. That agenda is all about globalization and Eurasia. We also know he is a staunch anti-Russian which explains his funding of anti-Russian propaganda with for example the Euromaidan protests that led to the western-backed coup in Ukraine which overthrew a democratically chosen pro-Russian government.

Journalism.co.uk - Bellingcat: open source intelligence 'vastly under-tapped' by media

Bellingcat's analysis of Russian military involvement in Ukraine has been collected into a report by the Atlantic Council.

Wikipedia - Atlantic Council

The Atlantic Council ... is headquartered in Washington, D.C. ... Launched at the 2008 NATO Summit in Bucharest, the Young Atlanticist Network brings together a community of emerging leaders who share a vision of closer Euro-Atlantic cooperation based on common values. ... The Atlantic Council has influential supporters, with former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen calling the Council a "pre-eminent think tank".

Atlantic Council - Eliot Higgins

His inquiries have revealed extraordinary findings on subjects such as the downing of flight MH17 in Ukraine...

Bellingcat is closely linked to the Atlantic Council. The Atlantic Council is by definition pro Anglo-American Empire including its aggressive expansion around the globe and thus also anti-Russian. It is another so-called "think tank" of the West. And these kind of think tanks are funded by the richest people on earth in order to advance their agenda. See for example "NY Times' Foreign Government Contributions to Nine Think Tanks" or "Enrique Mendizabal's Think tank accountability: are they really just hired guns or is it slightly more complicated than that?" Eliot Higgins is a member of the Atlantic Council. It is drenched in NATO...

NATO - Melvin Small: The Atlantic Council, The Early Years

...the Atlantic Council, which since its founding in 1961 had promoted NATO and European American cooperation... The fact that the organization struggled with finances through most of its history to the point where it had to recruit more and more dues-paying members, belies the notion that it was intimately tied to the government, especially considering that other volunteer organizations were receiving under-the-table subsidies from the Central Intelligence Agency at the time. One would have expected such an elite club, full of well-connected and wealthy diplomats and executives, never to have much of a problem making ends meet.

And here we have the link to none other than NATO. The circle is closed again by the link to CIA. These organizations are of course heavily involved in the new Cold War and propaganda. They are run by the Anglo-American power elite and serve their agenda. They are supported by other very powerful organizations...

Google Ideas - Arm Chair Analytics: The Story of "Brown Moses"

... expert... Brown Moses... a guy who is the foremost expert on arms being used on the ground in the Syrian conflict. Never been to Syria, doesn't speak a word of Arabic and he conducts his profound research from the comfort of his armchair in his home.

Apparently these kind of incredible stories are meant to make the sheeple believe that this guy can do what no intelligence agency can. It's simply absurd. And then these kind of figures get to do TED talks as well.

Google Ideas - Conflict in a Connected World

The control of the information has always been a priority of dictatorships.

The Atlantic Council is an organization set up by the western power elite to heavily promote Atlanticism. It is under the power of NATO which is an organization set up to "keep the Soviet Union out, the Americans in, and the Germans down". It is obviously heavily involved in spreading anti-Russian propaganda throughout the western world and beyond. Propaganda is misinformation. Propaganda is fake news. Google is part of the world's foremost intelligence apparatus. The European Union has even fined Google €2.42bn after a seven-year investigation into claims the technology giant abused its internet search monopoly. Talking about dictatorships. Google shoots itself in the foot with the statement made in their own propaganda videos. Just like all the other organizations do. What a joke.
