By Eliot Higgins
A riveting read about ‘an intelligence agency for the people “
Bellingcat was founded by a school drop out – Eliot Higgins . Using information easily obtained by everyone -or at least by anyone with a knowledge of computing . For example, the Salisbury poisoners were identified in a couple of weeks not by MI5 or an investigation by a newspaper but by Bellingcat just using data sourced from the internet.
Bellingcat also solved the truth about the Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 that was shot down over the Ukraine using photographs of Russian army equipment. Then phone hacking, then chemical weapons used in Syria by using a whole army of information gathering citizens
Eliot Higgins is now a senior fellow at Atlantic College and sits on the International Criminal Court in The Hague
