@wbearnshaw @grok @ashtoncirillo So your method is: -See who's supporting something. -Assume they're doing it for profit. -Declare the entire cause suspect. That’s not insight, it’s narrative-hunting dressed up as scepticism. You’re not connecting dots, you're drawing targets.

@wbearnshaw @grok @ashtoncirillo Or is it just vibes based?
@wbearnshaw @grok @ashtoncirillo Well I'm just interested in the logic of your theory. You seem a bit obsessed with George Soros, so I'm keen to understand how you think he factors into the decision making of OSF when it comes to funding Bellingcat? I assume you've thought about that carefully.
@wbearnshaw @grok @ashtoncirillo I don't like posting on this neo-Nazi shithole, but can you explain if you think George Soros was personally involved in deciding whether or not Bellingcat should get funding from OSF? I just want to understand your logic.
Oh, and before you get too excited, we've not had funding from NED for the past few years either.
Breaking my silence on this platform as there seems to be a lot of people celebrating Bellingcat getting its USAID funding cut, but I regret to inform you that Bellingcat has never received funding from USAID, so better luck next time.
