Eliot Higgins attacks me for giving an interview to CGTN.
So here's a document from the British intelligence contractor Zinc Network claiming his Bellingcat was dispatched by the UK Foreign Office to meddle in North Macedonia's 2019 election on behalf of the pro-NATO candidate.
Bellingcat was listed by the Zinc Network as part of a UK FCO "network of NGO's" that happened to have included the NATO-sponsored DFR Lab and the Institute for Statecraft, which was the front for the covert FCO-backed Integrity Initiative troll farm. thegrayzone.com/2021/02/20/reu…
While Higgins attacks me for merely giving an interview to CGTN, he seems to forget how the UK FCO-backed BBC helped launch Bellingcat.
At the time, Higgins was working with Allen Vanguard, a Canadian private intel firm that relied on gov't contracts. newyorker.com/magazine/2013/…
Bellingcat, just a "small organization with 20 employees...up against the entire internet" that gets covertly deployed by the British Foreign Office's cut-outs to swing elections for NATO's hand-picked candidates. Truly an intelligence service for the people!

Twitter's introduction of warning labels to specifically apply to my factual reporting on covert UK info ops builds off of the policy it introduced in October to block links to a NY Post story on Hunter Biden's corruption, which was also based in fact mashable.com/article/twitte…
One of those exposed in leaks of UK FCO files was @gordonmacmillan, a captain in the UK's 77th Brigade psychological warfare division, which recruits hundreds of "Facebook warriors" to infiltrate social media.
Macmillan's 77th Brigade was created under the auspices of the UK FCO's shadowy Counter-Disinformation & Media Development unit which has been exposed in a series of leaks that Twitter now labels as "hacked materials." medium.com/@KitKlarenberg…
Throughout his paper, Zenz framed public healthcare expansion that cut maternal and infant mortality rates in half in Xinjiang as genocidal.
He also manipulated data to give readers the sense that 80% of new IUD insertions took place in Xinjiang, when the real number was 8.7%.
Zenz displayed a photo of an elderly couple receiving a free health check up at a medical clinic as evidence of "the thorough implementation of increasingly intrusive birth control methods." Not only is the couple too old to have children, Zenz omitted the photo's actual context.
Good to see the Senate #BlueAnon committee getting back to the business of propagandizing the American public about phony Russia meddling threats and padding the budget of the “intelligence community” that failed to detect any problems ahead of January 6.
The Senate doesn’t want to investigate the well-established links between US/EU white nationalists and the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion - likely because the US armed Azov to turn up the heat on Russia.
The author of multiple malicious, false and retracted screeds about me, @areidross, emailed me about his plan to smear me again in the Daily Beast.
I wrote DB editor, @NoahShachtman, about ARR's record of disgrace & his current Koch-funded work w/ police spies & right-wingers.
Here's @areidross's email pitch to @TheGrayzoneNews, which I edit. He wrote as "Lilac" from Earth First, which was shady. Months after I rejected his incoherent proposal, he began accusing me of controlling a secret commie-fascist alliance with Kremlin space lasers.
I wonder if ARR's Earth First buddies find it odd that he now works with the Koch-funded "Network Contagion Research Institute," collaborating with a NYPD intelligence veteran, a Tea Party Republican, and DHS officials who call Antifa domestic terrorists. networkcontagion.us/about/

Carlos Vecchio, who currently serves as Juan Guaido's coup ambassador in Washington DC, where he lobbies for regime change and presides over the pilfering of Venezuela's state assets. thegrayzone.com/2019/06/18/exx…
The destabilizing sanctions tactic advised by Navalny's top advisor was already deployed by the CIA in Venezuela in a failed bid to create divisions in President Nicolas Maduro's inner circle. Similarities between Navalny and Guaido grow by the day. mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-…
Tony Blinken on the assassination of Maj. Gen. Soleimani: "Taking him out was the right thing to do."
Then he goes on to say in the weaseliest fashion why it wasn't.
Mitt Romney conjures a scenario in which China takes over the US and imposes its system. Does this mean we will be getting a national poverty eradication program?
