No, Bellingcat is really not The CIA’s Journalism Wing, and perhaps you should spend like 2.5 seconds considering who out there might really want you to think that they are.

Among many others, I’m sure the CIA would *love* you to think they could do that much with that little

I’m pretty convinced that there is a major mismatch between the self-seriousness of major spook agencies and what they’re actually capable of

The actual CIA is mostly nerds reading PDFs, which is what makes The Hunt for Red October so realistic

The ideal spy is basically a journalist who knows how to keep their mouth shut for five minutes at a time

I just love that nobody in the CIA ever noticed how Aldrich Ames was suddenly living the high life on his his intelligence officer salary. Apparently nobody in the agency nor Ames himself ever bothered to watch the Christmas Party scene in Goodfellas. youtu.be/gCQRvfWvdt8?...
