The lines are really hot, which means that's really heavily trafficked. Unless there's a glitch, I'd imagine a large ship with lots of app users was running around there.

Soaking of which, was there ever any follow up on the Growler pilots who did the Dick in the Sky?

The short little bit the Top Gear Grand Tour guys did on them (and their plane's name) a few episodes back was pretty amusing.

Well it's one of the few things they've not already tried, so it wouldn't surprise me, especially with what we've got coming up.

Given Sukarno’s boasts, the KGB shouldn’t have been too surprised that its efforts to blackmail him went astray. “When the Russians later confronted him with a film of the lurid encounter, Sukarno was apparently delighted,” Lister wrote.

“Legend has it he even asked for extra copies.”

Not yet, I'd be so hyper-vigilant I'd probably flee down the street if a moderately attractive woman spoke to me.

Nuclear Tourist posted:

Yeah, they did a lot of coverage of me, including sending someone to my home town to track me down. They went to my accountant and asked their receptionist if they knew me, like she would know; then my office, even though they had already asked me if I was in and I told them I wasn't, then went to a my old home I hadn't lived in for 8 years and doorstepped my mother. Then they edited it to make it look like I was hiding from them, when in fact I was in meetings the entire day in London.

That's just part of it, we've targeted by multiple groups of Russian government backed hackers, attacked in the Russian media, had the Russian MOD and foreign ministry attack our work, Russian troll factories run campaigns against us, etc etc.

There's a feature length documentary I'm currently being filmed for that should be out by the end of the year, The Bellingcat Method, which may cover this, plus all the stuff I don't talk about in public much as it attracts loony trolls, like my work with the ICC and MH17 stuff. I at least get paid well now.

Here's the video I mentioned:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqDvTgbgmjg

This is another video they published on Sept 28th 2016. That was a significant date because the joint investigation team (JIT) investigating MH17 gave a press conference on what they believed happened, their first official statement of that type since the investigation started. What they presented was pretty much exactly what we'd been saying for the last two years, which is probably why RT was trying to attack me:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3lwPS_1E2w

For some context, the first clip is Yasmin Green from Google Ideas/Jigsaw introducing me at their Conflict in the Connected World summit in New York in 2014, they cut off the bit where she says something along the lines of "despite this, he's made amazing discoveries about the conflict in Syria and use of chemical weapons". The bit where I'm giving a presentation and I say something is unclear, therefore Russia did it, *applause*, is edited from a much longer presentation where I start with it being vague, then spend several minutes showing more and more examples of how we can be sure of the location, and the applause is from about 10 minutes after that. Then the "anti-Bellingcat" report they cite is a) provably wrong on every point it makes, b) written by someone who works for pro-Ukrainian separatists blog who is personal friends with some of the MH17 suspects and works in the PR department of a Vladimir Putin founded think-tank.

The kicker is I complained to OFCOM, the UK TV regulator about it, and they decided that it's actually not violating any rules, even with all that dodgy edited footage.

I guess the lesson here is don't anger Vladimir Putin or RT will send a French hipster to track you down and make gritty, fast-cut edits debunking your work while using as many condescending adjectives as possible.

Seriously though, stay safe, I suspect someone in the Kremlin is probably fantasizing about doing terrible things to you.
