A fundamental forgotten but unresolved #OSINT: On August 20, 2020, #Navalny was allegedly poisoned with #Novichok in Tomsk. #Bellingcat then bought flight and phone connection data on the Darknet and extracted from it the private public mobile phone number of an #FSB man, ...
...who then admitted the whole poisoning plot on this private public mobile phone.
Q: How could Bellingcat link that private public cell phone number to an August 2020 crime when that number was not activated until November 2020?
And how is it possible that 3% of the calls with this number were made from Arlington / Washington DC while the pranked FSB cleaner is explaining to his "superior" (Navalny) that he is in Covid quarantine?
There are a number of other Qs: e.g., how could three agents have arrived in Novosibirsk on the same plane when two of them got off in Omsk? How did they know about Omsk prior to the emergency landing? And why does the FSB man say that they never travel together in one plane?
However, I ahave to praise the thriller qualities, though. Literary highlights full of suspense:
1) The death struggle of Yuliya, while Navalny decided to stay in the café.
2) The attempted murder with a fake Bloody Mary.
3) How the poisoned Navalny was 5 minutes late.

@Tracking_Power One must also consider circumstances that were absurd in the first place. After Douma, the entire propaganda machine accused Russia of blocking the access of OPCW inspectors because CW traces would disappear over time. Chlorine is difficult to detect anyway, ...
@Tracking_Power ...and so the inspectors, with the help of the best laboratories, found chlorinated materials in trace amounts after only 2 weeks. No chlorine gas!!!
In contrast, HDBG took soil samples (some taken after months), put them in a plastic bag and put a portable detector ...
@Tracking_Power ...for chlorine gas (!!!) in it. Allegedly, he was able to measure chlorine gas rising from these soil samples. This is outrageous nonsense. Kaszeta very cautiously put the brakes on it in his Cicero article under "Poor Detective Work", but avoided fully exposing the nonsense.

Es gibt kaum etwas Verlogeneres als diesen Artikel des @Tagesspiegel von 2009, der nahezu rührselig daran erinnert, dass der KGB 14 Jahre nach Kriegsende Bandera in München ermordete.
tagesspiegel.de/politik/der-kg…
Laut diesem Text waren die Nazis für Bandera nur "Mittel zum Zeck". Der Mord an 7000 Kommunisten und Juden wird damit zum Freiheitskampf, in dem der Zweck die Mittel heiligt. Aber nicht mal das ist wahr.
Das Ziel der OUN-Bandera war eine faschistische, aber unabhängige Ukraine im vollen Einklang mit Nazi-Deutschland. Das einzige Problem, dass die Nazis damit hatten, war die Idee eines unabhängigen Staates inmitten des Dritten Reiches. Sie brachten Bandera nach Sachsenhausen.

This one is very reminiscent of Bellingcat "reading tea leaves". Of course, if you use a garbage jpeg and make the clone area smaller and smaller, the clone filter will eventually respond.
Unfortunately, the supposedly cloned areas make no sense whatsoever for a fake.
Unfortunately, the result cannot be repeated with the highest image resolution that can be found on the Internet. Of course, even here the effect responds at some point, espescially if you require minimal similarity and details. Unfortunately, however, it is now other areas.
So either the FSB specifically faked the brown border of the ID card (but not the writing on the patterned paper) or here's another fool explaining the world to other fools.
I believe the second.

#Yelenovka A few observations in the white noise of wild speculations: All the pictures I could find were taken from the northeast corner of the building (POV) and essentially show only the opposite side. The only exception is a remarkable photo by
@EvaKBartlett (upper left). Image
I have no doubt that [whatsoever] hit the roof on the SE corner (red arrows). The roof sheets are bent away from the center almost in a circle. The underlying structure of the beams is equally deformed and the white debris east of the apparent impact confirms this assumption. Image
No photo shows if and how much the adjacent building was damaged. The fact is, it was damaged because otherwise there would be no white rubble on that side of the building. ImageImage

@caitoz That's exactly what's going on everyday in this war. Here is 3yrs old Arina "raped". The image was stolen from Novaya Gazeta.

@caitoz On March 27, DPR forces found the body of a woman in the basement of an abandoned Azov base in Mariupol.
A week later his images were stolen and misused e.g. by presidential advisor Arestovich.
@caitoz ...and went around the world.

I had that discussion yesterday but...
...maybe Lavrov watched History Channel
history.com/news/study-sug…
The discussion went on that even if Hitler had jewish ancestors it woule be a scandal to say that some jews are also antisemites.
I checked that like factcheckers do sometimes and found that Arabs are Semites according to Wikipedia. Image
