      Bellingcat got funding from the US gov-funded NED. It acts like an unofficial NATO propagandist, obsessively focusing on Western enemies.pic.twitter.com/DDegClagkj

      According to Meedan, which helps fund Bellingcat — along with the US government-funded NED — Bellingcat also works with the group Syrian Archive, which is funded by the German government, to jointly produce pro-opposition "research" https://meedan.com/2016-annual-report/ … https://syrianarchive.org/en/about/Frequently-Asked-Questions.html …pic.twitter.com/ZATRcPHdoy

      The board of the directors for Meedan, which funds Bellingcat, includes Muna AbuSulayman—who led the Saudi oligarch's Alwaleed Bin Talal Foundation—and Wael Fakharany—who was the regional director of Google in Egypt & North Africa (US gov. contractor Google also funds Bellingcat)pic.twitter.com/LZR7pgURlc

      Bellingcat—which gets money from the US gov-funded NED and fixates obsessively on Western enemies—claims to be nonpartisan and impartial, committed to exposing all sides, but a website search shows it hasn't published anything on Yemen since February 2017. https://www.bellingcat.com/?s=yemen pic.twitter.com/nkBJjI6UDF

          So I take it you are denying that taking money from a US government-funded soft power organization has no influence? When people are incapable of responding substantively, they often just childishly post memes. Telling

          When Bellingcat's Eliot Higgins rarely brings up Yemen, it's not to report on the Yemeni civilians who are on a daily basis massacred by US-Saudi coalition airstrikes, but rather to deflect from criticism over Bellingcat's extremely biased pro-Syrian opposition workpic.twitter.com/ULLHN2a4IX

          Eliot Higgins condemns the SAA for allegedly using chemical weapons, yet happily accepts fellowship at the Atlantic Council, which is funded by arms dealers who produce and sell chemical weapons! http://www.newsweek.com/how-us-made-use-radioactive-bombs-routine-443732 …
