You'd think with all the questions @marydejevsky has about me and Bellingcat she would have at least tried to have emailed us some questions while she was writing this piece, I'd have been happy to answer them. unherd.com/2021/02/bellin…
Mary on the edge here of discovering the details of my years playing World of Warcraft & administrating housing moves and bill payments for asylum seekers. What's more interesting to explain, the details of organising a 40 man raid on Blackwing Lair or our latest investigations?
Mary could answer many of these questions about our sources by reading our detailed articles about our sources and how we treat them, or listening to the many interviews I've given on the topic in the last couple of weeks bellingcat.com/resources/2020…
Pretty sure one of the FSB team explaining how deadly nerve agent was carefully placed on his underwear is a pretty big clue to the intentions of him and his colleague.
Ironically, some open source investigation of her own could have answered the questions she was posing.

New investigation from @bellingcat shows how influencers use services that provide monkeys, tigers, lions and cheetahs that they pose with in their Instagram posts that can be tracked to a shady network involved in the wildlife trade bellingcat.com/news/mena/2021…
Our researchers were able to track multiple animals that appeared in different influencers' videos and photographs by using the pattern on the animals' fur.
Helpfully, the users who shared the photographs and videos of the animals on Instagram tagged the same account, the mysterious mbe.777
Russia will not be participating as they've refused to take part in the hearing. Definitely the act of an innocent party.
Jacques Maire starts by explaining the situation they're investigating, the poisoning of Navalny with Novichok, and introduces the work of Bellingcat, as seen here bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-eu…
Our latest on @bellingcat takes a look at the journey of Ashli Babbitt, from Obama supporter to MAGA QAnon cultist, and the shooting in the Capitol building on January 6th that led to her death. bellingcat.com/news/2021/01/0…
In 2018, Ashli Babbitt expressed support for President Obama and opposition to Hillary Clinton, which led to her voting for Trump.
A year later, she was already referring to the Pizzagate conspiracy theory that led many to QAnon conspiracy theories
BREAKING - In a bizarre twist in the Navalny FSB assassination case, Navalny managed to trick one of the FSB officers involved into providing details of the assassination attempt by phone, all caught on camera. bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-eu…
The FSB officer involved in the post-operation clean up provided details of the attempt in a 45+ minute call with Navalny, including details of where the poison was placed - Navalny's underpants.
The FSB officer also provided Navalny, who he believed to be the assistant of a senior government figure, with the reason why he thought the plot failed.
Did you accidentally run his mother over in your car or something, @christogrozev?
@christogrozev is "the symbol for the decline of classic investigative journalism", according to this sane and balanced RT German article. I've been called many things, but never the destroyer of an entire field of journalism.
Bellingcat, working with @the_ins_ru has identified the FSB team behind the attempted assassination on @navalny, uncovering phone records and flight records showing the team followed him over 30 times since he announced he would run for president bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-eu…
Our investigation has also identified other instances where it appears there were attempts in poison Navalny, including one previously unknown incident where it appears his wife was exposed to an unknown agent during one of the trips the FSB team followed them on.
