I can admire the way he died as well as appreciate the fact he's also very dead and not rocketing civilian neighborhoods anymore. Because thats apparently what he was doing prior to getting hit with a missile and being like "oh poo poo where's my plane?!?!"

To throw away the dearest thing he owed,
As 'twere a careless trifle.

I think Bellingcat may have been the first group to do this with the Werfalli executions in Libya.

You're doing a lot of cool work, I'm very pleased to see how far this has progressed in the last years. OSINT and IMINT combined like this is really cool to see, and definately a direction I would have liked to head in if I had stayed in the IC.

The most satisfying thing about the work we do is how many organisations are now interested in applying open source investigation to their own work. I've met with all sort of justice and accountability organisations, international courts, police from across the world, NGOs, and universities who want to do this kind of work and apply it to their own fields of interest. Our big project at the moment is working with the Syrian Archive on archiving content from the Syrian conflict, and making it searchable by organisations like the ICC and IIIM on Syria to aid their investigations, as we can't rely on social media companies keeping that content online. Only last year we saw half a million YouTube videos from groups in Syria deleted as YouTube tried to get rid of extremist content and ended up with lots of false positives. We were able to get the vast majority restored, but we still realised we have think seriously about how this material is preserved long term. Our next step is to implement it with other organisations, then implement it with another conflict, likely Yemen. While everyone was busy funding on the ground documentation in Syria, no-one really thought seriously about how that material could be archived and made useful for international bodies like the ICC, so we're trying to solve that problem now, so it can be applied to future conflicts without having to take 6 years of war to figure this stuff out.

I'd like to discuss this stuff in more detail, but I've so many loony trolls who have obsessed over me for the last 6 years who end up harassing any organisation I work with I tend not to do that online. The Bellingcat team are currently being filmed for a feature length documentary coming out at the end of the year, so there will be lots of stuff I haven't talked about yet in there, and they'll have been filming us for 2 years by the time its out, so there should be at least something interesting in there.

Anyway, actual content for this thread. We've started doing projects with Forensic Architecture, where they take material we've gathered and turn it into 3D models to explain the evidence. This is probably the best way to display all the information we piece together about incidents, making it much more accessible than photos and maps with coloured boxes all over them.

The following video is based on work I did investigating the bombing of M2 hospital in Aleppo for the Atlantic Council report Breaking Aleppo. I had received dozens of photos and videos of the hospital, both inside and outside, from about a dozen different incidents of the hospital being damaged by bombing. The problem was, how could we prove the photos and videos inside the hospital were actually taken in M2 hospital? When a video or photograph is taken outside we can use satellite imagery or other images to geolocate it, but inside a building that is impossible, unless there's an view through a window, .

What I did is I took all those images and videos from the inside of the hospital, and started to piece them all together like a jigsaw puzzle, so I could show all the pieces were connected, and some of those pieces led to views of the outside of the building which could be geolocated, so even though 99% of the images couldn't geolocated by themselves, the 1% of geolocated images I could prove were connected to the other 99% confirmed the images were from M2 hospital:

We also examined the bombing of Al Jinah mosque in Syria, which was blamed on US forces, who at first claimed they hadn't bombed a mosque, but an senior Al Qaeda meeting. We worked with Human Rights Watch and Forensic Architecture on this one, and there were two key things we had to establish. One, that it was a functioning mosque, and two, the part of the building bombed was part of the mosque building, not a separate structure on the side of a mosque.

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

After we released our reports the Pentagon did finally admit it was a mosque, but stuck with their story it was an Al-Qaeda meeting, and only one civilian died, even though our research didn't find a single piece of evidence to show Al-Qaeda was anywhere near it, and there were many more civilians killed. They gave a slightly maddening press conference about it, which AirWars transcribed. It should be noted that if it wasn't for the AirWars transcription we wouldn't have known anything the was said in that press conference, because it was barely reported and nothing was released to the media about what was discussed.

I think that was a Houthi fighter being shot at by Saudi forces or their proxies, and if that's any indication of their marksmanship, no loving wonder this war has dragged on so long. :stonk:
