Craig Murray, who seems absolutely desperate to prove the Skripal suspects aren't GRU, has come up with this new theory, rather undermined by multiple photos we have of the same location from multiple sources, posted online before the attack took place.
Maybe George Soros built a time machine with the Atlantic Council and sent us back in time to plant fake evidence to make Russia look guilty, right, Craig?
Here we have the June 2017 OK.ru post which contains the photo we used in our report, not sure how we could have faked it and posted it 1 year before the Skripal attack took place, maybe Craig has some clue? ok.ru/profile/475421…

I always find these theories about Bellingcat being created to do this or that, or being some sort of government project fascinating, because there's clearly a community of people who believe it even though it's false. They're living in a world made up of their delusions.
It's impossible and pointless to engage with these people as their world view is based on delusions, and any challenge to those delusions are just seen by them as more proof their delusions are correct.
In the end we didn't need virtual reality to create alternative worlds, people just ended up doing it in their own heads.

One of General Haftar's minions gets off scot-free for mass executions, currently subject of an ICC arrest warrant. The videos of the executions were posted on social media by his own unit.
In late 2017 we geolocated one of the execution sites following the publication of the ICC arrest warrant. Bloodstains from the execution could be seen on satellite imagery bellingcat.com/news/mena/2017…
Despite the issuing of the arrest warrant by the ICC, Werfalli continued to participate in public mass executions bellingcat.com/news/mena/2018…

The first part of Seaborne Freight's Privacy Policy is word for word identical to Romney Marsh Wools Privacy Policy, with just the name changed. romneymarshwools.co.uk/pages/privacy/…
The Seaborne Freight GDPR policy is word for word the same as Virtual College's GDPR policy as well. virtual-college.co.uk/gdpr-complianc…
The second part of the Seaborne Freight privacy page talks about members, and appears on a few other websites. The biggest clue this is just some generic template is they've forgot to fill in the [Business Name] fields.

!!! Netherslands press conference regarding Russian espionage.

It seems 4 involved spies involved in hacking OPCW were deported from the Netherlands (one likely being Chepiga).

Some translations here:
Oh shit! The Netherlands are revealing the identities of these 4 GRU agents.

The statement by the #skripal suspects is glorious. The city was so 'covered in snow' that they couldn't walk 0.7 miles to Salisbury Cathedral, but they could walk over a mile to Christie Miller road, in completely the opposite direction. Poor lambs, they clearly got really lost!
So impressed by all these brave, hardy souls who managed to battle their way through seemingly impassable snow to get to Salisbury Cathedral during the first few days of March. Or these reviews are clearly fabrications...
For the convenience of any GRU employees thinking of paying a visit to Salisbury, I've produced this handy guide showing how tricky the cathedral is to find from the railway station.

Critically ill Russian national is 66yo Sergei Skripal, former intel colonel/double agent granted refuge in UK after a 2010 "spy swap" between US & Russia. He and a woman were apparently poisoned in/near Salisbury shopping center. bbc.in/2D2oj7X
Ex-Russian spy & daughter 'poisoned' in UK sparks fears of another Kremlin-backed hit. Investigators scrambling to identify the chemical used. Skripal feared for his life after his wife died in a car crash & his son was killed in a road incident.. thesun.co.uk/news/5733372/s…
UK warns Kremlin over poisoning of ex-spy Skripal & his daughter. Recalling Litvinenko murder, FM Johnson said UK was "in the lead across the world" in trying to counteract a "host of malign activity" by Russia.

Skripal's brother, son & wife have been killed in the last 2 year.

New #PA Congressional map is pretty much the best one Democrats could have hoped for. At least 2 pickups in neutral environment, likely ability to win 11 in current D+6 environment. Post coming
PA redraw creates map that is almost entirely drawn from scratch. Huge shifts from 2016 plan all over the place. Dems favored to win 9 seats there in almost any national environment.
(big swings mostly from renumbering, but aggregate differences are clear)
