Paul Mason Says Bellingcat Launders Information For Western Intelligence

The Grayzone has published leaked email communications between faux-left British commentator and aspiring parliamentarian Paul Mason and a shady intelligence contractor named Amil Khan which plainly shows the two plotting to use state power to subvert anti-imperialist media outlets like Consortium News and Grayzone, as well as "far left rogue academics" and the broader left more generally.

There will probably be a lot written about these leaks in the coming days, but for now I'd like to focus on the fact that, in these private communications between a media insider and an intelligence insider, the "independent investigative journalism" outlet known as Bellingcat is described as a "proxy" for western intelligence agencies and is said to receive “a steady stream of intel” from them.
