It looks like the same exact gear he was wearing when those pictures of him in Libya popped up. Hell, all over that looks like him.

He sounds exactly like I thought that guy would sound.

That's 100% Caro, filmed back when he was in Libya. Last I heard from him he was going crazy in a Turkish hotel in Hatay, failing to cross into Syria, and calling me a "CIA drone". I believe he's back in the US, and homeless.

Some of the stuff he filmed in Libya was genuinely interesting, he just had no idea how to present it. For example, he got a fully guided tour of the interior of the Libyan Killdozer months before it was seen in action, but no-one noticed. I was able to do geolocation on his videos to figure out where he was at certain dates, and in some cases he was in the thick of some of the heaviest and significant fighting, especially in Sirte. He probably got to within about 200 meters of where Gaddafi was hiding.

You know, he really did this to himself, but the real tragedy is no one would believe him; I hate to hear an interesting story untold.

When I interviewed him I spent a lot of time verifying as much as I could from the videos he posted. He was certainly where he said he was, the Misrata frontline medical clinic, Sirte during the heaviest fighting, etc, and he met some very interesting people, it's just impossible to know if his version of events is entirely accurate in some situations.

After the interview he used to DM me on Twitter about 60 times a day, I could clearly see him getting more delusional then more normal, I wish I could have done something to help him.

Clearly the answer is that some non-delusional goons create a journalism outfit that tours warzones, with Brown Moses as fact checker.

(I think this makes me delusional)

there was a shaky helmet cam style video of him in a "sniper" duel with that PSL he is holding in that vid. Dunno if it's still on the internet.

His Youtube channel used to have hundreds of videos of it, but he took a lot of them down. Some are still pretty interesting, like this following video showing an SA-7 MANPADS converted to fire S-5 rockets

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR7-HgeG0Z4

A Scud-B rocket abandoned outside of Sirte

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Tonh3o8taU

A video of a billboard of Gaddafi being destroyed in Sirte, this was filmed in a pretty central location during the heavy fighting that took place in the last days of Gaddafi's life

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnnea-zqlEE

I wish he hadn't taken all his videos down, I've got a much better eye for stuff now, so it would be interesting going through them again.
