March 30, 2025 (EIRNS)—The Russian outlet RT picked up a story from CNN earlier in the week, that “President Donald Trump has cut off most of the funding Washington had been providing to the controversial ‘White Helmets’ volunteer organization in Syria.”
This should be cause for celebration by all those who favor peace in Southwest Asia and elsewhere. “The White Helmets, co-founded [in 2014] by the late British mercenary and presumed former intelligence officer James Le Mesurier, rose to international notoriety amid the years-long conflict in Syria,” RT explains. They became notorious for intentionally staging and filming videos purporting to show Syrian and Russian “atrocities,” but which were actually totally fake. “On several occasions, members of the group were filmed participating in apparent executions by jihadists.” Moreover, “The White Helmets have allegedly been involved in multiple false flag ‘chemical incidents’, which it blamed on government troops,” reveals RT.
