Venemy works best when OSINT has been performed and you've identified the person's profile/username. From there, it's easy to extend the tool's functionality. While there is a search API endpoint, I would recommend confirming the profile manually before running anything.

This one is pretty obvious, but it's so critical it has to be said:
Wikileaks
https:'//'wikileaks.org/
>Government Web Sites
You can learn a lot by digging on the names of groups and individuals listed
here:
US Treasury Sanction List
https:'//'www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Pages/default.aspx
The State Department and the C_A go hand-in-hand:
State Department Press Releases
https:'//'www.state.gov/press-releases/
State Department Archives: Obama, GWB & Bill Clinton Presidencies
https:'//'www.state.gov/u-s-department-of-state-archive-websites/
These committees often publish good documents:
House Committees
https:'//'www.house.gov/committees
Senate Committees
https:'//'www.senate.gov/committees/
Bills, Congressmen, and Senators
https:'//'congress.gov/
>Image search engines
I tend to look up images first when digging, for several reasons:
1. it's a quick way to sift through a lot of information and zero-in on
what's relevant at the moment
2. you gain familiarity with faces, which allows you to recognize them in
other images where they might not be named
3. you can quickly see links between the subject and other people (in group
shots)
4. you sometimes find good meme material on the way.
5. you often come across foreign websites with good information that can be
translated (pic related: from Marc Dutroux's dungeon, from
https:'//'urbexsession.com/en/marc-dutroux-house/
6. you often stumble across things that are even more interesting that what
you're currently digging on.
7. symbols will tend to lead you in the right direction
8. images give a lot more context than stories, usually
9. pictures can be devastating–Clinton with Epstein, McCain with
terrorists, the right picture at the right time could spark a revolution
Bing is my first stop, then duckduckgo or google images. Duckduckgo sucks
because they only give you a few pages of results; google seems to actively
censor relevant results.
'''Bing images"
Just go to bing.com, enter a search query and click on the "images" tab. Bing's
image search probably has the best layout of the major search engines–it
scrolls until there are no more relevant results (unlike duckduckgo), the layout
gets more images on the screen at a time, individuals are often identified in
images, and you can zero-in on parts of images (after clicking on them) to
search for part of an image–for instance, the face of a person or the jacket
they're wearing. You can also do a "visual search" by clicking on the icon next
to the magnifying glass icon in the search bar, then either dragging an image
over the area or entering a url.
Tineye.com: reverse image search
This website has been around for awhile. It tends to give good results, but
where it really shines is that it allows you to sort the matches by age, size,
and how much they have been modified. This allows you to find the website where
an image was first uploaded to the web (in theory), which often generates new
leads as well. Furthermore, you can often find larger versions of images with
more information–try it on the images Q posted of John McCain in Syria, for
instance.
>Image Hosting Websites:
There are only two that are worth mentioning, as far as I can tell. These allow
you to do a search on a particular subject, and don't appear to censor as much
as the others. Moreover, they tend to be the best at showing important people
in non-newsworthy situations–great for both meme material and finding
relationships that otherwise wouldn't be known.
This one is fantastic–it has the added benefit of linking to other photo
websites:
Smugmug
https:'//'www.smugmug.com/
This one seems to be the preferred site for many government bodies:
Flickr
https:'//'www.flickr.com/
>Websites that sell images:
A lot of images don't make it into the news and don't show up in the search
engines, but are available for purchase at websites for purchase by news
organizations.
Getty Images
https:'//'www.gettyimages.com/
Getty images has -tons- of images on celebrities, politicians, charity groups,
etc. attending /throwing things like charity events, awards ceremonies, etc.
These are in addition to images taken during significant events like wars,
senate hearings, trials, and more. The images are easy to search through, and
have a large watermark but are large themselves. They also tend to give some
backstory.
AP Images
http:'//'www.apimages.com/
The second best out of the three, this is a good second choice if you can't find
what you're looking for at Getty Images. It's harder to sift through them due
to the smaller thumbnails, but you find good stuff here.
Reuters Images
https:'//'pictures.reuters.com/
This one is the last choice. They either don't show all of their pictures,
censor some, or simply drop them after awhile. There are plenty of times that I
have seen images listed as being licensed through Reuters, but when you look for
them at this website they're nowhere to be found. This is particularly the case
for notable figures doing bad things (i.e., McCain in Syria). Still, it's worth
checking if all else fails.
You can also find images by searching the websites of individual photographers.
If I see an image that seems related to my investigation, I will search the
photographer's name for a website–you will often find other images related to
the same event that weren't bought by the newspapers or larger image companies
