Whitney Webb publiceerde gisteren op MintPress News een artikel over de White Helmets, ik kreeg het artikel via Anti-Media.
James Le Mesurier, een ex-huurling (huurlingen zijn bijna zonder uitzondering psychopaten), heeft de White Helmets in 2013 opgericht, zoals al eens eerder op deze plek gesteld
*.
Niet vreemd dus dat de White Helmets i.p.v. een hulporganisatie te zijn, een organisatie is die ten dienste staat van terreurorganisaties in Syrië, terreurgroepen die de democratisch gekozen regering Assad bevechten, middels een ongehoorde terreur op de burgerbevolking. Overigens begon e.e.a. met een door de VS opgezette en gefinancierde opstand, waarvoor de VS in 2006 de eerste stappen zette..... De VS heeft voorts terroristen van Al Qaida en IS, na de geslaagde VS coup tegen het bewind van Khadaffi, uit Libië vervoerd richting Syrië en hen van wapens en training voorzien.... Waarom vraagt u? Simpel, de vader van Assad en later Assad zelf, weigerden een gaspijpleiding over hun grondgebied richting (West-) Europa.........
**
Het slimme aan de zaak is de opzet van de White Helmets als hulporganisatie, die de beschikking heeft over professionele apparatuur waarmee ze video's maken en deze naar het westen doorspelen. Artsen die video's van deze W.H. zagen, stellen dat de leden van deze terreurorganisatie niet eens begrijpen wat ze moeten doen, als ze bijvoorbeeld zogenaamd een kind willen redden, de getoonde handelingen zijn contraproductief, handelingen waarvoor men ook overduidelijk al gedode kinderen gebruike........ Met andere woorden: als die handelingen op een gewond kind zouden worden uitgeoefend, is het bijna zeker dat zo'n kind zal overlijden!!
Ook dat is niet vreemd, daar de White Helmets een militaire training onder supervisie van Le Mesurier hebben ondergaan....... Waar de White Helmets, naast het maken van bedrieglijke video's, wel goed in zijn, is bijvoorbeeld het assisteren bij executies van burgers, door de door het westen als zogenaamde 'gematigde rebellen' aangeduide terreurgroepen, die op IS na, allen gelieerd zijn aan Al Qaida (of al-Nusra, zoals men deze terreurgroep in Syrië noemt)...... Terreurgroepen die zonder uitzondering door Saoedi-Arabië worden voorzien van geld en wapens (die op hun beurt uit o.a. de VS en Groot-Brittannië komen......)
Le Mesurier richtte de White Helemts op in Turkije en kreeg daar in eerste instantie $ 300,000 .-- voor van de VS, Groot-Brittannie en Japan (plus Nederland
*) , een bedrag dat hij in korte tijd wist op te pompen tot 123 miljoen dollar!!

James
Le Mesurier: The Former British Mercenary Who Founded The White
Helmets

(MPN)
– Over
the past two years, enlightening information has been revealed that
thoroughly and unequivocally debunks the “humanitarianism” of the
White Helmets in Syria, sometimes referred to as the Syrian Civil
Defense.
Since
they were founded in 2013, much of Western media has sought to
elevate the White Helmets as the “bravest” and most heroic of
Syrians. They have been the subject of a Netflix
documentary,
which won an Oscar, and has consistently been plastered across TV
screens in surprisingly well-produced videos showing them removing
children from rubble in war-torn areas claimed by Syria’s “rebels.”
While
numerous articles have been devoted to dispelling the propaganda that
surrounds the group and detailing their shady ties to known terrorist
organizations like Syria’s al-Qaeda branch Al-Nusra Front,
significantly less attention has been focused on how the group was
created, particularly on the man who founded them – James Le
Mesurier, a British private security specialist, and former British
military intelligence officer.
Le
Mesurier’s role in founding the White Helmets and propagating its
mythology to a Western audience
was
exposed in 2015 thanks to the work of independent journalist Vanessa
Beeley.
Beeley,
who spoke to MintPress News at length for this report, notes that it
was Le Mesurier’s “‘realization that humanitarian aid was more
effective at maintaining war than an army” that
spurred his creation of the organization in order “to maintain
public support for another costly war in a country that is, in
reality, posing little to no threat to mainland America” or its
allies.
James
Le Mesurier: from mercenary to “humanitarian”
Though
mainstream narratives have
suggested that
the White Helmets were trained by the Red Cross, the White Helmets
were actually
founded in
March 2013 by Le Mesurier. He, like many officers in the British
military, attended the Royal Military Academy, where he graduated at
the top of his class, receiving the Queen’s Medal.
He later
served in
the British Army and operated in a variety of theaters. Most notably,
Le Mesurier served as intelligence coordinator for Pristina City in
Kosovo soon after the NATO intervention that led to NATO being
accused of
war crimes for its targeting of thousands of civilians and media.
By
2000, Le Mesurier left the army and went to work for the United
Nations as he had “realized
humanitarian aid was more effective”
than an army in theaters of war during his time with the British
military. He, again, served in a variety of locations, focusing
on “delivering
stabilization activities through security sector and democratization
programs.” According to Le Mesurier, “stabilization activities”
refers to the “framework for engagement in ‘fragile’ states”
or, in other words, destabilized nations.
Prior
to his founding of the White Helmets, Le Mesurier served
as Vice
President for Special Projects at the
Olive Group,
a private mercenary organization that has since merged with
Blackwater-Academi into what is now known as Constellis Holdings.
Then, in 2008, Le Mesurier left the Olive Group after he was
appointed to the position of Principal at Good Harbor Consulting,
chaired by Richard
A. Clarke –
a veteran of the U.S. national security establishment and the
counter-terrorism “czar” under the Bush and Clinton
administrations.
After
joining Good Harbor, Le Mesurier became
based in
Abu Dhabi, where he specialized in risk management, emergency
planning, and critical infrastructure protection. He trained a UAE
gas field protection force and “ensured the safety” of the 2010
Gulf Cup in Yemen, a regional soccer tournament. But following this
work, Le Mesurier claims to have become dissatisfied, wanting to have
a more direct impact on the communities he worked in.
He told Men’s
Journal in
2014 that it was the idea of using his military training to benefit
civilians that truly enthused him: “the idea of being a civilian
carrying a weapon and guiding a convoy in a conflict zone — that
leaves me cold.”
White
Helmets founded through Western funding
When
it came to time to found the White Helmets in March 2013, Le Mesurier
seemed to have simply been in the right place at the right time.
According to his own account, he founded the group in Turkey after
being “compelled” by
Syrians’ wartime stories.
Despite
founding the White Helmets in Turkey, he raised $300,000 in seed
funding provided by the UK, the U.S. and Japan, which Le Mesurier
apparently had no trouble scrounging up. The $123 million dollars
that was funneled soon after to the organization by the U.S. and UK
governments, along with
Western
NGOs and Qatar, dispels all notion of the organization’s alleged
“impartiality” and “non-partisan” stance on the Syrian
conflict stated
on their website.
He
then used it to train 25 “vetted” Syrians “to deal with the
chaos erupting around them.” By September of that year, more than
700 “vetted” individuals were believed to have undergone training
under Le Mesurier’s supervision.
However,
Le Mesurier’s ties to British military intelligence, mercenary
groups and involvement in “stabilization activities” and
“democratization programs” suggest that his convenient appearance
in Istanbul, Turkey is perhaps not too coincidental. As Beeley noted
in an interview with MintPress: “there are very few coincidences in
the multi-spectrum, hybrid war that has been waged against Syria by
the U.S. coalition since 2011.”
Indeed,
the White Helmets were founded when the West was losing on both the
propaganda and military front regarding the push for regime change
and foreign intervention in Syria. More specifically, as Beeley told
MintPress, the group’s founding took place just after “the Syrian
government had raised concerns about a terrorist chemical weapon
attack in Khan Al Asal against the SAA [Syrian Arab Army].”
It
should come as no surprise then that, since their founding, the White
Helmets have been instrumental in blaming the Syrian government for
any and all subsequent chemical weapons attacks in Syria, acting as
both witnesses and responders to events that were
later proven to
be the work of the armed opposition in Syria or
staged.
As a result, Beeley argued that it’s well within reason to
speculate that the White Helmets were explicitly founded with this
purpose in mind.
However,
it is Le Mesurier himself who shed light on why the White Helmets
were formed at such a crucial point for the foreign-funded
opposition. As Le Mesurier noted
in a speechdelivered
on June 2015, in “fragile” (i.e. destabilized) states, security
actors – such as mercenaries or foreign armies – have the lowest
level of public trust. However, Le Mesurier states that in contrast,
those professions with the highest level of public trust in such
situations are firefighters, paramedics, rescue workers and other
similar types of first responders.
Le
Mesurier discusses the White Helmets in June 2015:
Le
Mesurier, however, is not the only figure linked to the British
military to take such a perspective. UK Admiral Sir Philip Jones,
Chief of Naval Staff, stated
last year that
“the hard punch of military power is often delivered inside the kid
glove of humanitarian relief.” It is for this reason that military
actions sponsored by the United States and its allies for the past
few decades have often been framed as “humanitarian
interventions.”
Thus,
the White Helmets were seen as a chance to reclaim the trust that the
Syrian opposition fighters had lost, as news of their affiliation
with terrorist groups began to spread.
In
reclaiming that trust in Western audiences, the White Helmets have
done nothing to ease the burden of war in Syria, but have fomented it
by underpinning the very propaganda that has kept the conflict raging
on for over six years, as well as undermined the ability of the
Syrian and Russian governments to secure diplomatic alternatives to
continued fighting.
Indeed,
despite their claim of “impartiality,” the White Helmets were
instrumental in
Western attempts to bolster international support for Western
intervention and a “no-fly zone” in Syria. However, such
intervention will bring much more devastation to Syria, something the
White Helmets profess to want to end.
Training
the White Helmets
While
the White Helmets have successfully been framed as a
professionally-trained first responder group active in Syria, there
is plenty of evidence suggesting that their training was entirely
different. First responders and doctors in other countries have been
skeptical about the “aid” the White Helmets have delivered.
For
instance, Dr. Leif Elinder, a Swedish pediatrician, told
the Indicter that
“after examination of the video material [of the White Helmets], I
found that the measures inflicted upon those children, some of them
lifeless, are bizarre, non-medical, non-lifesaving, and even
counterproductive in terms of life-saving purposes of children.”
Other
medical doctors have stated that other procedures conducted by the
White Helmets as seen in the previously mentioned Netflix documentary
were performed so poorly they would have killed the children, who
were already deceased when the footage was taken.
Questions
have been raised such as: how did the White Helmets know the bodies
would be exactly where they found them?; Why are no attacks heard or
seen in White Helmet videos – only the “aftermath”?; and why
have the White Helmets chosen to “recycle”
footage of
the people they are allegedly helping?
Thus,
if the White Helmets were not actually trained in first aid – as
the above suggests – what did Le Mesurier and his team actually
train them to do?
According
to Beeley, Le Mesurier trained the White Helmets as a military group,
as they have been found “working side by side with the Nusra Front
and other extremist groups such as Nour Al Din Zinki in East Aleppo,
where their ‘humanitarian’ centers were invariably alongside
Nusra Front or even in the same building.”
Noting
the White Helmet’s lack of paramedic expertise and the numerous
photographs showing them carrying weapons, she added that this
“confirms that their role has been as military and logistical
support for their Nusra Front colleagues.”
However,
the training received by the White Helmets likely did not stop there.
Beeley
strongly believes that they were given extensive training in the
production of propaganda – specifically, trained in camerawork and
video production in order to produce videos for the media. She noted
that “the sheer number of cameras on site at any one of their
rescue productions demonstrates that they are well versed in
publicity craft.”
Furthermore,
Beeley suggested that the White Helmet’s footage used in their
documentary also proves this point:
“The
Oscar-winning Netflix documentary that recorded their exploits was
based entirely on footage taken by the White Helmets themselves and
supplied to the producers of the movie who did not leave Turkey and
were therefore unable to verify the authenticity of the footage. The
quality of video supplied suggests that the White Helmets were using
sophisticated equipment and had been well trained in its use.
Thus,
this training has enabled the White Helmets to accomplish two major
goals for the governments and organizations that have orchestrated
its rise to prominence.
First,
as Beeley pointed out, it has facilitated “further proxy military
intervention and to incite pseudo-humanitarian outrage from the
International community and western public.”
Second,
it has allowed the atrocities of the extremist factions that work
with the White Helmets to be camouflaged by the “humanitarianism”
of the group, which has been instrumental in allowing foreign
governments to continue arming and funding these extremist, terrorist
organizations with complete impunity.
Le
Mesurier, for his part, has apparently become tired of the limelight
– perhaps as a result of the thorough debunking of the
terrorist-linked organization he fostered. Though still listed as an
employee of Good Harbor, Le Mesurier has
removed himself from
the site of MayDay Rescue, a White Helmets-linked organization he
founded, and all mention of him has
been erased from
the White Helmets website.
