On a related note, does anyone know any good OSINT aggregate sites?
Don't even read NY Times but this stuff gets re-reported on every other news outlet too which clogs up actual information

If all you want is the Chinese semiconductor industry, there's a thread on SinoDefenceForum that's probably THE source.
In general, there's not because most OSINT is garbage.
Man I really need something that saves and indexes things, because a lot of social media content gets shadow banned or deleted.
There was some great footage during the 2019 India-Pak air skirmish but both Facebook and Twitter went on a delete rampage because India got mad for being exposed and threatened both companies to comply.
Now it's nice that all the stuff has been reported on so the news is accurate. But that took like 6 months to happen.
And now I can't even find the videos of a plane getting shot down without sifting through way too many reports and deleted links.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The resulting report, published in late December, was headlined “‘Screams Without Words’: How Hamas Weaponized Sexual Violence on Oct. 7.” It was a bombshell and galvanized the Israeli war effort at a time when even some of Israel’s allies were expressing concern over its large-scale killing of civilians in Gaza.
Schwartz said she then began a series of extensive conversations with Israeli officials from Zaka, a private ultra-Orthodox rescue organization that has been documented to have mishandled evidence and spread multiple false stories about the events of October 7, including debunked allegations of Hamas operatives beheading babies and cutting the fetus from a pregnant woman’s body.
The independent site October 7 Fact Check, Mondoweiss, and journalists Ali Abunimah of Electronic Intifada and Max Blumenthal of The Grayzone have flagged numerous inconsistencies and contradictions in the stories told in the Times report, including the account of Cohen, who had initially said “he chose not to look, but he could hear them laughing constantly.”
In early December, Israeli officials launched an intensive public campaign, accusing the international community and specifically feminist leaders of standing silent in the face of the widespread, systemic sexual violence of Hamas’s October 7 attack.
Maybe the U.N. isn’t addressing sexual assault because no [media outlet] will come out with a declaration about what happened there.’” If the Times story doesn’t publish soon, she said, “it may no longer be interesting.” Schwartz said the delay was explained to her internally as, “We don’t want to make people sad before Christmas.”
Times staffers who spoke to The Intercept on the condition of anonymity for fear of professional reprisal described the “Screams Without Words” article as the product of the same mistakes that led to the disastrous editor’s note and retraction on Rukmini Callimachi’s podcast “Caliphate” and print series on the Islamic State group.
The original article contains 6,617 words, the summary contains 304 words. Saved 95%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
