    Without evidence this is just badjacketing. We should have a pretty low tolerance for accusations like this unless they're supported by something at least semi-plausible.

        Grayzone. Until this thread I haven't seen even a suggestion that they're suspect, and the accusation here is totally unsupported. We have to be a little smarter than jumping every time someone shouts "this thing is an op."

        With Bellingcat, there's unquestionably a source of funding (the NED) that's justifiably suspect. I don't think the book's written on them, but there's at least something to back up accusations that it's not legit.

          I agree, I haven't seen chapos throw russiagate-style accusations like this since the summer of 2018, very strange

            Thankfully, I haven't seen this crop up until this thread, and I don't see a lot of people here falling for it.
