The thing with consuming so much nonsense & trusting the people who produce it is eventually you start drawing insanely wrong conclusions based on the garbage information you've spent the past several years consuming, sharing them with like-minded folks, who then do the same.
It's one paranoid fantasy built on top of another, fueled by the dodgy allegations of dodgy governments, captured media, grifters and the professionally deluded.
It is, however, an excellent way to spot people whose opinions are permanently worth ignoring, because if you think that stuff is credible then you clearly have no worthwhile opinions on anything.
And all they end up doing is chasing shadows and highlighting other idiots, so they do provide a service of sorts, even if they don't realise it.
Also to people saying she was "investigating" Bellingcat, chewing up a bunch of garbage investigations by other people and government propaganda and then spewing the resulting mash up into the mouths of the terminally dumb isn't an investigation, it's a grift.
It's worth noting that Dugin himself appears extremely paranoid about @christogrozev, so I expect that'll fuel this insane theory m.vk.com/wall18631635_1…

First unrectified images of Saki Air Base in Crimea via @planet following yesterday's multiple explosions. There's clearly been a massive fire across the base following whatever happened there:
Comparison of August 9th and August 10th imagery show very large craters, many destroyed aircraft, and destroyed buildings. It looks like a direct hit on the building on the left, so whatever it was seems accurate.
Colour images via @OSINTua with black and white images from Planet of the same locations for comparison.
An arms depot in Bulgaria, owned by Emilian Gebrev who Bellingcat revealed was targeted by assasins from Unit 29155 and previously had another arms depot blown up by the Skripal suspects, has exploded. Another Russian sabotage attempt? 24chasa.bg/biznes/article…
Gebrev was poisoned in 2015 at a time when he was providing munitions to Ukraine, a plot we uncovered following our investigation into the Skripal poisoning bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-eu…
An explosion in Czechia in late 2014 at an Gebrev-linked arms depot with munitions believed to be destined to Ukraine was also linked to Unit 29155, supervised personally by its commander, Col. Gen. Andrey Averyanov. bellingcat.com/news/2021/04/2…
The amount of tankie cope over this thread is pretty incredible, and also shows they'll take anything the Russian intelligence services claim at face value with no questions whatsoever.
Hopefully Russia will react with more lies so we have more content for the documentary.
The FSB's fairytale around the operation tells us they really didn't have a clue of how it was being run and needed to make up a story to save face when they got their intelligence assets exposed.
In case you missed it earlier, our thread responding to the FSB's face saving efforts after they accidentally ended up exposing a bunch of their intelligence operatives in a failed sting operation.
One of the various ongoing documentary productions we're working on at the moment. All going to plan we should start releasing them next year and have a constant production pipeline of documentaries until we run out of cool stories to tell
And we're talking big budget features docs, not YouTube videos (although we will probably do short form content too)
If this comes to a shock to anyone then you should probably spare us your future opinions on Russia and its conflicts.
Until there's real consequences attached to Russia's violations of its diplomatic agreements they have no reason to stick to them. Today's attacks should mean more arms to Ukraine, not another round of talks.
