Not news to anybody here, since we already know they take NED money, but still - nice to see some confirmation that Federal Evans and the rest of the Bellingcat crew are collaborators.

    I'm Jack utter lack of surprise.

    So does that also means Robert Evans not only worked directly with the FBI but also took spook money through Bellingcat?

      He’s obviously completely in pocket, I don’t understand why “leftists” like him so much.

    This doesn't seem particularly conclusive imo. It proves that Dutch intelligence knew Bellingcat was going to publish an article on a certain day, but does not prove collaboration. Presumably the dutch spy on their citizens just as much as the US does and so could have found out through those mechanisms.

    Ran the whole email through google translate (thank you grayzone for only doing parts) and got something slightly different:

    today bellingcat publishes the research below. It is probably smart to already put together interdepartmental spokesperson for this. Because the article highlights several sides (MH17 but also COVID19), it is probably wise to wait a while and see if

    the main stream media picks it up;

    from which angle the media picks up and highlights it (MH17 or COVID);

    to determine the spokesperson from this angle and therefore which department is in the lead;

    to coordinate spokespersons interdepartmentally as much as possible.

      Because as we know, Grayzone can just falsify FOI requests.

      In evil dystopian totalitarian Soviet North Vuvuzela the general populace due to their tremendous brainwashing flat out refuses to even look at info going against the government narrative.

      Should we not take this seriously because the FOI information is fraudulent? Or is it because the publication has a bad track record (in which case I have terrible news for you about bellingcat)? Or should we disregard it because you personally find the information distasteful and inconvenient?

      Unless you can prove the information is fraudulent, it would appear we're all living in the same reality in which bellingcat is a CIA op with only some of us being willing to accept it.

      I finally see why a bunch of outraged comments always spawn under Grayzone articles.

      Anyone on any social platform who touches Bellingcat allegations or any ongoing social-engineering op gets hit by a hive of random Punk Hacker/"Infosec News"/Anarcho-fem-techno-nihilist-whoever accounts who all mysteriously have fully-formed grudges against them and accuse their sources of somehow being more CIA-connected than Bellingcat. BTW, a common tactic of undercover feds is to accuse someone of being a worse fed and rally fed-hating people against them.

      You're scared, dipshit. If not, the shady people who ghostwrote your whole personality sure are. That's assuming I'm even replying to a real user.
