Bellingcat is not intended and does not provide "intelligence", watchdog services or anything of the sort.

Bellingcat is a cutout that is intended to serve as sockpuppet for the spooks while pretending to be independent.

It's so entrenched through cut-outs that I can almost guarantee nobody in Congress has any real idea of the breadth of this issue. They have decentralized it so that dismantling it will take many years if even a decent attempt is made.

So Gibson was right, we're living in Spook Country.

Yay!!!

“A nation,” he heard himself say, “consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual’s morals are situational, that individual is without morals. If a nation’s laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn’t a nation.” He opened his eyes and confirmed Brown there, his partially disassembled pistol in his hand. The cleaning, lubrication, and examination of the gun’s inner workings was ritual, conducted every few nights, though as far as Milgrim knew, Brown hadn’t fired the gun since they’d been together. “What did you say?” “Are you really so scared of terrorists that you’ll dismantle the structures that made America what it is?” Milgrim heard himself ask this with a sense of deep wonder. He was saying these things without consciously having thought them, or at least not in such succinct terms, and they seemed inarguable. “The fuck—” “If you are, you let the terrorist win. Because that is exactly, specifically, his goal, his only goal: to frighten you into surrendering the rule of law. That’s why they call him ‘terrorist.’ He uses terrifying threats to induce you to degrade your own society.” Brown opened his mouth. Closed it. “It’s based on the same glitch in human psychology that allows people to believe they can win the lottery. Statistically, almost nobody ever wins the lottery. Statistically, terrorist attacks almost never happen.”

― William Gibson

“Cultural Marxism was what other people called political correctness, according to Brown, but it was really cultural Marxism, and had come to the United States from Germany, after World War II, in the cunning skulls of a clutch of youngish professors from Frankfurt. The Frankfurt School, as they’d called themselves, had wasted no time in plunging their intellectual ovipositors repeatedly into the unsuspecting body of old-school American academia.”

This is fascinating and important work that I would have never heard of, had Matt not written this. I'm amazed that Jack is able to find people willing to financially support it. There are so few people interested in the public interest these days...

Can I get a "Make Orwell Fiction Again" ?

No oversight, no accountability and meanwhile trog's like (pick a politician) lap it all up as gravy on an exquisite pile of mashed potatatoes. You think the moronic Biden family is the issue, think again.

"One of the company’s employees blew the whistle to one of Premise’s major aid clients, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation,"

I think I understand 'intersectionality' finally. And I am not amused.

Truly terrifying insights hiding in plain sight. Thank you Matt. Thank you Jack. I just gotta ask: Are we cooked yet?

It is ironic that by subscribing to his (or Matt's) substack I am traced by the same mechanisms he writes about. One can not rule out that is a honeypot for cynics and skeptics. Sites like these should offer a cash and print version option delivered to an undisclosed neutral location. ;-)

A very interesting article, but I am skeptical of anyone who actually believes that Osama was killed by US forces at Abbottabad

WHY do the really intelligent people wind up doing Anti social stuff for money? The Best Brain's go to Wall Street, social media Teck and the MIC. HELLO, even Russia with less than half the US population is graduating more engineers... not financial engineering. Even the Germans go to Frankfurt. The free lunch is coming to an end in the US and Europe. The others are tired of being exploited and the western compradors and Quisling courtiers will be turfed. We used to be productive and now just exploitive and living off BS and hucksterism. I just read that Russia produces a 155mm shell for ~$600 and the US ~$6000, no doubt that China even cheaper. This cannot stand.
