In case you don't know this it's pretty incredible. For months, NED-funded Bellingcat claimed that it partners w/ OPCW. After OPCW's Douma scandal blew up -- & Bellingcat was used to discredit the OPCW whistleblowers -- @EliotHiggins deleted the claim & called it an "error." https://twitter.com/aaronjmate/status/1248367203503702021

Simple visualization of @EliotHiggins' fraud:

9/2019: Bellingcat claims it "partners" w/ OPCW.

2/2020: after OPCW's Douma scandal grows; its unknown "experts" face scrutiny; & Bellingcat attacks the actual OPCW experts, Higgins says "partner" claim was a "copy & paste" error.

Higgins doesn't explain what the "another document" was (more on that in a sec). But more importantly, just compare Higgins' initial "partner" list with his so-called "corrected" one. In the "corrected" version, there's only one group missing from the initial list: OPCW.

The only corrected words in that entire paragraph about Bellingcat's "partners" are the OPCW. What a curious error! The only error in that entire copy & paste happens to be the organization now facing a major scandal after relying on dubious "experts" & forcing out real ones.

How is it that every one of those groups that Bellingcat said was a "partner" in Sept. 2019 is still a partner in February 2020 -- except for the one organization, the OPCW, that is now facing a massive cover-up and fraud scandal? Can you explain that, @EliotHiggins?

. @EliotHiggins has also been asked to explain what the "another document" was -- the one that contained every single Bellingcat partner initially claimed, except for the "error" of OPCW. Eliot's answer:

So why did Eliot delete OPCW as a "partner"? I'd bet because Bellingcat -- funded by NED & other Western govts -- was involved in OPCW's Douma fraud. When an actual OPCW expert wrote the suppressed Douma report, I think Bellingcat & co. were the "supposed experts" he referred to:

Interestingly, Eliot has previously been offered the chance to deny working with the OPCW but has declined. Something changed in February 2020. See his refusal to answer my questions on this front, in November 2019, here:

Here's another thing that happened in the period between 9/2019, when Bellingcat claimed OPCW was a "partner", and 2/2020, when that suddenly became an "error." The *day before* @EliotHiggins announced the "error", Bellingcat had named the alleged 2nd OPCW whistleblower:
