“The ‘White Helmets’ Controversy”
Actually, I don’t think there is any real controversy. The White Helmets are a fraud.
They were created and financed by some of the same governments supporting the entire terror campaign in Syria. Created by France, financed by Britain.
They have been seen by independent observers and journalists working with al-Nusrah.
They have been caught a number of times over fraud in their videos – as when children who were made-up to look piteously hurt were observed and photographed later as normal and smiling, or when White Helmets were photographed working with supposed nerve-agent victims on the ground without so much as any gloves on.
The White Helmets have created ugly incidents to promote American and British bombing.
We had the testimony of a local hospital doctor and others about the supposed gas attack in East Ghouta earlier this year in Syria. They were unaware any such thing happened, but they were aware of a sudden effort by the White Helmets rushing in and dousing some people with water and taking videos of them, people who had come to the hospital from the effects of long breathing very poor air while living underground in the shelter of caves.
Of course, the final verdict on the White Helmets is provided by the simple fact that Israel recently evacuated hundreds of them from Southwestern Syria as the victorious Syrian Army approached, apparently, according to some reports, along with Mossad guys who had been covertly working in Syria. Israel is not known for engaging in purely humanitarian efforts.
Israel has always worked to destabilize Syria, and for years advocated with the American government that action be taken there. Israel was part of the original “club” that created, supported, and armed the rag-tag mercenaries posing as jihadi types in the artificially-induced Syrian civil war. The “club” consisted of America, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Britain, France, and originally Turkey.
Six hundred thousand people killed, millions of refugees created, and the beautiful and peaceful land of Syria half destroyed. That’s what the American-led “club” achieved.
Israeli weapons have been discovered many times by the Syrian Army as it defeated some of the mercenaries, and wounded al-Nusrah fighters are known to have been treated in hospitals in Northern Israel.
The White Helmets actually are a good measure of the ugly depths to which America’s government goes to get its way in the world.And there’s good old Hollywood doling out an Oscar last year for a “documentary” film about the White Helmets. Of course, it is pretty much the same Hollywood crowd which each year holds a gala fund-raising dinner on behalf of the Israeli Army, having sent them millions of dollars over the years.
One can even speculate about equipment and training for the many White Helmet propaganda videos, promoting hostility towards Syria, having come from the same source. Quite likely, I would think.
