She talks like a doll lacking any kind of autonomy. It is not "we had sex", but "he had sex with me". I don't know any woman who does not want to have unprotected sex, but just let it happen like that. Then come bac

As far as I can see: Bellingcat is laundromat for Mossad, after WikiLeaks became laundromat for Russian intelligence. They still are a citizen journalist type of outfit, they don't take direct funding from government orgs. But they ha
