Coming up next on the Jordan Harbinger Show.

I remember one guy invited his girlfriend into their military camp, and she just filmed it and posted it on social media.

It's just really silly things like that.

They had a social media account, the actual brigade, and all the soldiers were following the social media account.

And we spent a year basically mapping out their entire military unit with namespaces, ranks, where they

were on the day of the convoy, whether or not they were in the convoy, all there on the internet,

it's just no one had pieced it together.

But it's a network of information, and if you can explore those networks, you can find gold.

Welcome to the show. I'm Jordan Harbinger. On the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode the stories, secrets, and skills of the world's most fascinating people and turn their wisdom into practical advice that you can use to impact your own life and those around you.

Our mission is to help you become a better informed, more critical thinker through long-form conversations with a variety of amazing folks, from spies to CEOs, athletes, authors, thinkers, performers, even the occasional journalist-turned

poker champion, Hollywood filmmaker, or Cold Case Homicide Investigator.

If you're new to the show or you want to tell your friends about the show, and I always

appreciate it when you do that, I suggest our episode starter packs.

These are collections of our favorite episodes on topics like persuasion and negotiation, psychology and geopolitics, disinformation, China, North Korea, crime and cults, and more. That'll help new listeners get a taste of everything we do here on the show. Just visit jordanharbinger.com slash start or search for us in your Spotify app to get started. Today on the show, we meet Elliot Higgins, the guy who went from pajama-clad hobbyist

to running Bellingcat, the citizen sleuth outfit that geolocates missile launchers from

Instagram selfies and unmasks Russian GRU assassins with nothing but public data and caffeine.

We'll explore how open source intelligence cracks war crimes, punctures Kremlin disinformation,

and turns a soldier's duck-faced trench post into courtroom evidence.

If you want to see how scrappy digital detectives are reshaping global accountability,

keep on listening.

Here we go with Elliot Higgins.

I remember I followed you for years, and I was like, oh, I'm excited about this. And then the book came out and I emailed you and you're like, I don't have time for this. And I was like, I believe you. It was a crazy period. Yeah. Ukraine war, Syrian civil war. I was like, I believe you. I'm not going to fight you on that one. I thought that was kind of funny. I'm curious what your take is on
