Former Russian spy critically ill in Britain after exposure to unidentified substance

Dumbass SKkin strikes again.

To discredit Bellingcat, he quotes one Graham Phillips, a pretentious sounding wanker:

I'm a 39-year-old journalist known for my coverage of Donbass, and Crimea. I also work in mainland Russia, and across Europe, entirely crowdfunded, independent of any channel or affiliation.

Who turns out to be another Russian arselicker, who even got a medal from the Russians that he forgot to tweet (surprise surprise).

And Craig Murray, another Russkie stooge, and a bitter alcoholic who can't get over being sacked by the government for being a drunk.

And you're trying to discredit someone else?

You tell me.

Why not to believe to "an independent" ("non-state-run") web that says always the same as the truth-trumpeting BBC?

Similarly, better to be mistaken (wrong) with GWB than to be correct with Mr. P...

War Propaganda Firm Bellingcat Continues Lying About Syria
https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2018/04...g-about-syria/

Higgins is a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, an extremely shady think tank with ties to powerful oligarchs. Its name seems to come up whenever you investigate any of the mainstream media’s favorite Russia conspiracy theories, from the DNC hack to Russian trolls to the PropOrNot blacklist publicized by the Washington Postwhich normalized the smearing of alternative media outlets as Kremlin propaganda. It’s a very influential organization with a very clear agenda, and it is Higgins’ job to advance that agenda.

From my link yesterday:

Higgins either vehemently hates, or has been told to hate Russia, and Russia’s president Putin. Have a look at his Twitter timeline, of some 127,000 tweets, and it can read at times like one man trolling an entire country. A stream, a barrage, of anti-Russian tweets, retweets, and Higgins doesn’t even try to hide that he despises Russia, or has been told to – this just from a quick ‘Russia‘ search of his recent tweets, and just a small sampling –

'arry and missk...why so vested in Russia being the enemy? What's your irons in the fire?

**harrybarracuda** · 02-10-2018, 04:37 PM

Quoting that fucking looney Caitlin Johnstone? Dredging the bottom of the barrel a bit aren't we?

why so vested in Russia being the enemy? What's your irons in the fire?

Putin is a murderous, crooked dictator. I hate murderous, crooked dictators.

Anyway, let's see him talk his way out of this one. They've got the c u n t bang to rights and no mistake.

I distinctly remember giving props to those I think deserve it as well. For instance, Robert Parry(RIP). Here's Mr. Parry on the subject of Bellingcat/Higgins:

What to Do About ‘Fake News’
https://consortiumnews.com/2016/11/1...out-fake-news/

Ministry of Truth

So, who are the “responsible” journalists who should be anointed to regulate what the world’s public gets to see and hear? For that Orwellian task, a kind of Ministry of Truth has been set up by Google, called the First Draft Coalition, which touts itself as a collection of 30 major news and technology companies, including the Times and Post, tackling “fake news” and creating a platform to decide which stories are questionable and which ones aren’t.

Formed in June 2015 and funded by Google News Lab, the First Draft Coalition’s founding members included Bellingcat, an online “citizen journalism” site that has gotten many of its highest profile stories wrong and is now associated with NATO’s favorite think tank, the Atlantic Council.

Despite Bellingcat’s checkered record and its conflicts of interest through the Atlantic Council, major Western news outlets, including the Times and Post, have embraced Bellingcat, apparently because its articles always seem to mesh neatly with U.S. and European propaganda on Syria and Ukraine.

Two of Bellingcat’s (or its founder Eliot Higgins’s) biggest errors were misplacing the firing location of the suspected Syrian rocket carrying sarin gas on Aug. 21, 2013, and directing an Australian news crew to the wrong site for the so-called getaway Buk video after the July 17, 2014 shoot-down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.

But like many news outlets that support establishment “group thinks,” Bellingcat wins widespread praise and official endorsements, such as from the international MH-17 investigation that was largely controlled by Ukraine’s unsavory intelligence agency, the SBU and that accepted Bellingcat’s dubious MH-17 evidence blaming the Russians.

If such a Ministry of Truth had existed in the mid-1980s, it might well have denounced the investigative reporting on the Contra-cocaine scandal since that was initially deemed untrue. And if “Minitrue” were around in 2002-03, it almost surely would have decried the handful of people who were warning against the “group think” on Iraq’s WMD.

Some others I like...Fisk, Hersh and Pilger.

...and no missk, I'm feeling rather girthy, thanks for asking.

Well I certainly don't love him... But I also hate the constant stream of BS in the US Corporate media in support of wars and conflicts that has been going on for my entire lifetime. I'm fucking sick of the constant lies and propaganda from "our side." Do you understand that?

btw, how many times have I(the "dumbass") name-called you 'arry?

fcuking commie arselickers...

The Bellingcat research collective: War propaganda masquerading as “citizen journalism”

In other words, Higgins/Bellingcat is useful for pumping out propaganda masquerading as “citizen journalism.” The so-called “research collective” is an Internet and social media adjunct of the US government and NATO. The conclusions of its “research” are determined by Higgins’ politics, which serve the interests of the imperialist powers as they gear up for war against Russia.

(among all the other generous leaders who - by peaceful means - trying to rescue the world from him)

**Klondyke** · 02-10-2018, 07:49 PM

There is a lot of talk about the "murderous, crooked dictators" - who first rolled out a red carper for their friend Khaddafi (and not only for him) - in the link https://teakdoor.com/speakers-corner/...ml#post3832608 (Al Jazeera Documentaries) I gave few minutes ago.

Still waiting to learn all the names of those "murderous, crooked dictators" involved(the one name seems not to be reported) ...

^^

Personally I see the person on the left having "squared off" at the bottom ears and the person on the right having "tapering" at the bottom ears, getting narrower towards the bottom. However the photo on the left appears against a "white" background. Which makes it much easier to "crop". The one on the right, being in colour and turned , would be more difficult to edit.

We don't know the source of the one on the left, we know the source of the one on the right - a RT video made public to the world.

One day the truth will be clear.
