the most obvious example of bellingcat being the arm of the state is that he has completely stopped talking about the daniel morgan murder that has heavy met police involvement and is still being interfered with right now. when bellingcat started it was a big thing for them

Pener if you had said that there was a "third camp of annoying Trots nobody cares about" I wouldn't have responded the way I did, but out of context I interpreted it differently. I was just making the point that many people had good reason to be skeptical of both sides.

Also people do still care about the drat postmodernists who tended to be third campists, although there were a lot of French Maoists in that crowd oddly enough

He is? My impression was always that he's well meaning, but not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Like I remember when he had that picture of the Russians who were accused of the Skripal poisoning arriving at the airport border control at exactly the same time and went: Is this doctored????

These Brown Moses profiles are amazing.

quote:

He is amused to be referred to as a weapons expert. "Journalists assume I've worked in the arms trade," he says, "But before the Arab spring I knew no more about weapons that the average Xbox owner. I had no knowledge beyond what I'd learned from Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rambo."

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/mar/21/frontroom-blogger-analyses-weapons-syria-frontline

quote:

In his youth, Higgins was expelled from the Department of Journalism at Southampton University. He then became a bank clerk, and the last place he worked at was a lingerie store. He married a woman of Turkish descent, whom he met on ICQ, and in October 2011 they welcomed a daughter into the world. Higgins found himself no longer glued to the computer for 36-hour sessions of World of Warcraft, Fallout, and Command and Conquer. Now he had other priorities. But after six months, he needed something to replace his old habit, and he became interested in the conflict in Syria. Under the pseudonym of Brown Moses, taken from a Frank Zappa song, he became an active commentator on Internet news articles: On the Guardian’s website alone, he left about 5,000 comments. Today, he says he was “just bored.”

my salary at iheartradio is $400,000 per year. the show is extremely successful and makes a lot on ad revenue. i'm fairly open about that because i think it's important, particularly for my colleagues when they negotiate for deals. i make very little at bellingcat. i was unemployed for much of 2017 and 2018. my initial salary at iheart was much lower, but then all my shows made a lot of money and i negotiated for a better deal.

i feel better about taking add money than begging people for money who may not have much to give. my last experience with crowdfunding, when i was broke, involved folks saying stuff like "i gave you ten bucks now and i'm broke until payday but I'll give you more then" and that made me feel terrible. chapo folks make six figures a month on patreon, and good for them. we all have to make choices, and capitalism doesn't offer us a lot of simple ones. i made the choice to go with ads.
