Sometimes liberals do good stuff - just dont go to him for your politics
People here think robert’s CIA for reporting for bellingcat and being against the Assad regime right?
Let's be clear - Bellingcat get funding from NED which means they're defacto CIA.
So either Bellingcat is directly overseen by the CIA or Robert Evans is putting out what the CIA likes
And the difference between the 2 is that you can't get a credit card between them
As The Grayzone has previously reported, Bellingcat is funded by the US government’s regime-change arm the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a CIA cutout created by Ronald Reagan, and is host to a crew of regime-change advocates who work with Western government-backed organizations like the Atlantic Council.
All throughout the Cold War the CIA did the same thing - they funded 'Socialist' magazines that were anti-Soviet and they even funded Maoists during the Sino-Soviet split. Robert Evans straddles that line of pretending to be a leftist but not actually holding any principled left positions which might actually inconvenience US imperialism. His whole charade is a familiar one - to sound like thunder and fury with leftist and vaguely Marxist phraseology whilst shoring up support for US imperialism and US wars
I thought It Could Happen Here was great.

All great points. but I think writing for a CIA cutout is a little different than being a full-on mockingbird plant
The difference is between wilful deception and being too stupid to know you're being used as a tool of deception and misinformation
Like I said, a credit card doesn't fit between the two and both serve reaction
