Sinds dat concert heeft Waters onder
andere een e-mailwisseling tussen vertegenwoordigers van de White
Helmets en zijn team openbaar gemaakt.
Waters werd eerder al in 2016 door een
Saoedisch-Britse miljonair, Hani Farsi benaderd om mee te werken aan
een fondsenwerving voor een aan de White Helmets gelieerde groep 'The
Syria Campaign', van wie de leden hoogstwaarschijnlijk ook tot de
leden van de White Helmets behoren.....
The Syrian Campaign is een
dochtermaatschappij voor public relations organisatie 'Purpose' in de
VS, een organisatie die stelt onafhankelijk te zijn, maar dat
allesbehalve is, sterker nog: Purpose is bezig met een missie om
westerse interventie in Syrië te uit te lokken en pleitte eerder al
voor een 'no-fly zone' boven Syrisch grondgebied........ Gelukkig dat
er nog veel mensen zijn, die het deze organisatie onmogelijk maken om
in het openbaar campagne te voeren (in de VS, een voorbeeld video in het hieronder opgenomen bericht).
De schrijver van dat artikel, geplaatst op Activist Post, John Vibes legt nog eens uit wat
er mankeert aan de White Helmets, zoals het feestvieren met
terreurgroepen na een overwinning, of het helpen met executies.....
Ook zijn White Helmets leden in het verleden al betrapt met
wapens in de hand, als waren deze terroristen op dat moment niet als White Helmets waren uitgedost......
Verder komt het op poten zetten van de White Helmets nog eens voorbij, de organisatie werd door een Britse officier in Turkije op poten
gezet, met geld van Turkije, de VS en Groot-Brittannië.......
Goed dat er nog veel echte
hippies als Waters zijn, mensen die zich inzetten tegen onrecht,
mensenrechtenschendingen, valse propaganda om illegale oorlogen goed
te lullen en die daadwerkelijk actie ondernemen tegen zaken die hier
toe bijdragen (dit geldt overigens gelukkig ook voor punkers en
alternativo's die niet verzakelijkt zijn, maar hun oude idealen trouw
zijn gebleven!
Pink Floyd Frontman Leaks Email Exposing How White Helmets Recruit Celebs With Saudi Money
By John
Vibes
APRIL
21, 2018
Earlier
this week, The
Free Thought Project reported that
Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters stopped a concert in Barcelona to
warn the crowd about pro-war propaganda that is coming from a group
in Syria known as the White Helmets.
In
the days since Waters has taken several interviews to further explain
his views, the most interesting of which was with a group called the
Grayzone Project, where exclusive
Emails were
featured, showing conversations between Waters’ team and
representatives of the White Helmets.
Waters’
first encounter with the White Helmets was actually long before his
April 13 concert, back in October 2016 when Saudi-British billionaire
Hani Farsi invited him to a lavish fundraiser that he was holding on
behalf of the White Helmet affiliated group “The Syria Campaign.”
The
Syria Campaign is a subsidiary of the New York-based PR
agency, Purpose, which
claims to be impartial in the Syrian civil war. But
as Alternet reported,
they are on a mission to provoke western intervention in the region
and have even openly
called for
a no-fly zone. The Syria Campaign works very closely with the White
Helmets and likely has many of the same members.
Last
year, the Syria Campaign paid actors up to $600 each to
participate in a pro-White Helmet flash mob and orchestral
performance at New York City’s Grand Central Station.

Despite
the firm’s best efforts to fill the crowd with people at least
pretending to be in favor of their message, anti-war activists
still showed
up to protest the
event, holding up signs that read “Hands
off Syria!”
“This
is U.S. war propaganda,”
and
“No
U.S. bases in Syria.”
The
White Helmets were founded in Turkey by a former British MI5 officer
named James Le Mesurier. The group has received at least $55
million from
the UK government and an additional $23
million from
the U.S. government, both of whom have regime change interests in the
region. According to data agency Gov
Tribe,
the U.S. government has given at least $339.6 million in foreign aid
to groups attempting to bring about a “transition” in Syria.
The
“transition” that the White Helmets and affiliated groups are
hoping to bring in Syria is far from peaceful and well-intentioned.
Members of the WH have been filmed and photographed standing and
celebrating with Al-Qaeda-affiliated
terrorists after
battles, helping to conduct public
executions,
and they were even caught carrying around headless
bodies.
The
Syria Campaign has attempted to cover up these atrocities
by dismissing video
evidence as “Russian propaganda,” a familiar excuse that has been
parroted by government representatives in the U.S. and the UK.
The
event that Waters was invited to in 2016 was officially sponsored by
one of Farsi’s holding companies, called the Corniche
Group.
According
to the company’s website,
For the past fifty years, the Farsi family has been active in Europe and the Middle East in urban planning, real estate, property development, the arts, and philanthropy. Led by Hani Farsi, the son of visionary civic leader and philanthropist Mohammed Said Farsi who is credited with shaping modern Saudi Arabia into a global business power player.
The
invitation that Waters received said:
I am writing to invite you and a guest to join Hani at a fundraising dinner that he is hosting on Monday 21st November on behalf of The Syria Campaign…The Asfari Foundation provided the start-up funds for The Syria Campaign and we will be joined on the evening by Sawsan Asfari…Their work with The White Helmets has helped these rescue workers attract more than $15 million in government funding and turned them into household names – narrowly missing out on the Nobel Peace Prize this year.
Waters
said he did his research and was suspicious of the motives that these
interests had, so he never responded and avoided getting involved in
those efforts. Instead, Waters did his own research on what was going
on in Syria and used his platform to speak out against U.S.
intervention.
Unfortunately,
a handful of other celebrities did take the bait and signed on to
publicly support the White Helmets and the Syria Campaign. These
names include George
Clooney, Ben Affleck, Daniel Craig, Justin Timberlake, Aziz Ansari
and Zoe Saldana.
“I
was quite suspicious after I was invited to that [White Helmets]
dinner. And now my worst suspicions have been confirmed,” Waters
told the Grayzone Project. “I would encourage the celebrities
who’ve signed to endorse the White Helmets to stop supporting them
because we know what they are. I don’t blame them for having bought
into it. On the face of it, it felt plausible that the White Helmets
were just good people doing good things.
But
now we know they’re trying to encourage the West to drops bombs and
missiles illegally in Syria.”
Then
just last week before his recent concert, Waters was approached yet
again through e-mail, this time by a French photojournalist named
Pascal Hanrion who described himself as a “militant with the Syrian
White Helmets.”
The
Email read:
Good afternoon, my name is Pascal Hanrion, I’m photo reporter and climber. I’m a militant with the Syrian White Helmets to denounce crimes against humanity in Syria, especially against children. Last Sunday, I made an important happening in Paris, climbing to the top of center Georges Pompidou museum. I am in Barcelona to do the same, in relation with a very powerful Syrian network. Please, could I meet Roger Water to ask to invite me few seconds on the stage tomorrow during the concert to send a message with him to the children of Syria ‘you are not forgotten!’
As
I reported earlier this week, Waters did not give this man his
requested time onstage but instead addressed the audience himself
with a message of peace and non-intervention.
These
Emails give a behind the scenes look at how pro-war PR firms attempt
to harness the power of celebrity to promote political ideas that
these celebrities often know very little about. These agencies are
depending on busy artists or musicians to take them at their word in
regards to life-and-death political issues, but luckily at least a
few of them seem to be doing their research.
