What people who use the "A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA" quote leave out is the broader context, and that NED was set up to support democratic movements and actions in a transparent way, unlike the CIA.

Oh, wow - judging by replies, @bellingcat propagandists have convinced their followers that it's "Russian propaganda" to believe their funder, NED, is an arm of the US Govt and CIA. Propaganda is enabled by historical ignorance. From the well-known Kremlin outlet @propublica:

As someone who has attended

training(s), I believe they do vet attendees. Most came from varied backgrounds with mostly journalists, hackers and investigators…and one #PublicDefender investigator 🕵🏽‍♂️ I never sensed there was an agenda and the training was top notch.

In conclusion, if you hate Bellingcat you're a bad person.

518

We've trained thousands of people in Bellingcat's techniques, helped bring justice in multiple cases, highlight war crimes and human rights violations, addressed a range of humanitarian issues, so they can attack our funding all they want, they just look like arseholes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

420

And I'm more than happy to be on the opposite side of people who deny war crimes and defend criminals. If they had real arguments to use against our work they wouldn't have to use a 30 year old misquote about things that happened 60 years ago.

335

People who use that smear claim things like the chemical weapon attacks in Syria are false flags, MH17 was shot down by Ukraine, defending white nationalists, and generally positions that put them on the side of the worst people and dictators.

A woman charged with spray painting anti-Semitic graffiti on a Royal Oak synagogue no longer wishes to represent herself in court and asked for a court-appointed attorney.

There's nothing else there. The beauty of bellingcat is that it is open source and entirely reproducible. They did trainings of journalists under an NED grant years back, but of course that's not it. They were on the *wrong side* the moment they opened tabs on Ghouta and MH17.

It's pure positionality with these people. Of course

has been at the forefront of investigating and prosecuting US and allied war crimes in Afgh, Syria, Yemen etc. So what got them on Glenn & co's shitlist? Looking into Russian and Assad regime atrocities of course.

Quote Tweet

That @bellingcat is funded by the US Govt's CIA-adjacent arms (the National Endowment for Democracy) and EU government agencies is well-documented (including in its own financial forms). Of course its biggest fans are those whose views fully align with US Govt foreign policy. twitter.com/TimothyDSnyder…

Few things are more revealing than the fact that the outfit funded by the CIA's propaganda arms and EU government agencies (and Soros) is not only considered a "news outlet" by Western "journalists," but the one they most revere. It's full alignment, an all-but explicit axis.
