The Syria White Helmets Exposed as US UK Agents Embedded with Al Nusra and ISIS

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by tammywammy (a host of the General Discussion forum).

White Helmets: Follow the Money

The White Helmets were established in March 2013, in Istanbul, Turkey, and is headed by James Le Mesurier, a British “security” specialist and ‘ex’ British military intelligence officer with an impressive track record in some of the most dubious NATO intervention theatres including Bosnia and Kosovo, as well as Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine. Le Mesurier is a product of Britain’s elite Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, and has also been placed in a series of high-profile pasts at the United Nations, European Union, and U.K. Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

The origins of The White Helmet’s initial $300k seed funding is a little hazy, reports are contradictory but subsequent information leads us to conclude that the UK, US and the ‘Syrian Opposition’ [or Syrian National Council, parallel government backed an funded by the US, UK and allies] are connected. Logistical support has been provided and given by Turkish elite natural disaster response team, AKUT.

A further $13 million was poured into the White Helmet coffers during 2013 and this is where it gets interesting. Early reports suggest that these “donations” came from the US, UK and SNC with the previously explored connections to George Soros in the US.

However, subsequent investigations reveal that USAID has been a major shareholder in the White Helmet organization.

The website for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) claims that “our work supports long-term and equitable economic growth and advances U.S. foreign policy objectives by supporting: economic growth, agriculture and trade; global health; and, democracy, conflict prevention and humanitarian assistance.”

In a USAID report update in July 2015 it is clearly stated that they have supplied over $ 16m in assistance to the White Helmets.

Sadly, this sort of news has been considered conspiracy for the longest time but anyone who have seen the so called Friends of Syria countries must have known that the west and its middle east allies don't have the best interest of Syrians and so do the presidential candidates who still call for regime change in Syria or the involvement of uber sectarian, uber Islamist Muslim countries in solving the Syrian war

That site has the following:

Latest ‘Domestic Terror’ Sniper Attack in California is Likely a Government False Flag
Boston Bombing Stage: An ensemble cast of soldiers, spooks and ‘cleaners’

Patrick Henningsen is an author and founder of the 21st Century Wire news website, an Associate Editor of alternative news site Infowars.com and regular geopolitical analyst for Russia Today

Zero credibility.

along apparently with western governments, funneling money to al-Queda and ISIS? Give the world a break! I doubt this author knows anything, but let's just hope no agents embedded with ISIS have been "outed" by anyone. (What a kind and gentle way to put it.)

I don't really care who authored the article or made the video. The evidence in the video and the information provided about its origin and their activities is good enough for me. Anyway, it's not entirely clear who wrote the portion of the website I posted but I am not entirely sure it is the Patrick guy. It could easily be Vanessa Beeley whose name is on the first writting of the website.

Then again, it still makes very difference even if Vanessa Beeley was also involved with conspiravy theory. Actually, just forget I mentioned conspiracy theory. Just ignore that portion and see the evidence presented in the video.

You have to wait minutes before you get the bits they're lying about. It's just a waste of people's time.

Once you've worked for infowars, you're screwed as a believable author.

You're saying that there's probably something to any accusation about the US government.

Its not a video from a conspiracy website, its a video from http://www.handsoffsyriasydney.com/ that someone from liveleak.com posted with an article from www.21stcenturywire.com. Which you claimed was written by an author who also contributed to infowars.

Then again, I doubt you would have believed it if the same info came from the state departments themselves. But thank you very much for bumping the article. I am sure the Syrians suffering from US intervention would really appreciate you bumping this thread.

The article, at the link you give, starts "By Vanessa Beeley Source: 21st Century Wire As US and NATO propaganda reaches another crescendo in Aleppo ...". And the YouTube video also gives the link to the same 21stcenturywire artlcle that is on LiveLeak.

If you base your video on 21stcenturywire stuff, it's useless. The connection to RT makes it even less credible on Syria.
