Imagine posting pictures of your amateur building skills to a early internet forum that nobody knows or cares about, but then twenty years later the CIA is scoping your house with high-res satellites and it's the #3 location to visit in Microsoft Flight Simulator behind only Ground Zero and Epstein Island

Frankly, lol

SA liked finding either people who had authoritarian tendencies to be mods or in the case of one mod, offered a unusual take on babysitting services.

He was reviled even in the forum he modded for years, GiP, for not being a Troop but a mere contractor. But the staff kept him around for a long time because removing him would have been admitting that the haters were right.

Actually based on his pay grade he was more or less a colonel. Heck that was a long time ago, he might be a general by now.

specifically with Bellingcat, it's part of the normalization of the use of satellite images and "geolocation" as a driver for being newsworthy news

nowadays you have this firm called "Simularity" that talks about Chinese fishing vessels "invading" the South China Sea after spotting them with satellites

or that allegation that China is building missile silos somewhere in their western desert and concentration camps in Xinjiang because some guy said that the shadows on the photo indicate that that's what they are

Couldn't CNN/MSNBC/NYT do the same thing and reach a much wider audience? I could ask practically everyone I know and I strongly doubt any of them have heard of Bellingcat. You can't manufacture consent if no one's paying attention. Maybe I'm just not aware of their audience, but it seems to me to consist of extremely online skeptics, like us

belingcat is for people who might distrust establishment media. belingcat is citizen journalism! its open source! you can definitely trust it! nevermind the funding from the atlantic council and the brazilian federal police.

Their reporting can also serve as a step in laundering misinformation, creating a chain of "legitimate" reporting that disguises the source in more mainstream media.

He's married to a Turkish woman I believe and I don't think she should be doxxed or brought into it at all but lmao somehow it makes it all much funnier and more absurd to me, maybe because my wife is from a country bordering Turkey and having spent a good amount of time there I could never imagine doing what BM does but gently caress it, grifters gonna grift.
