Homs Airstrike: White Helmets Caught Faking Syria Casualties Report
Sputnik ^ | 9-30-2015 | Sputnik

Posted on 10/01/2015 12:35:42 AM PDT by tcrlaf

The Soros-sponsored "White Helmets," one of the largest NGOs operating on the territory of Syria, is busy with cooking up lies instead of protecting the human rights of the Syrian people.

The "White Helmets," a controversial quasi-humanitarian organization, is playing dirty in Syria: the NGO has been spotted fabricating "evidence" of Russia's "disastrous" involvement in Syria.

The organization has published a photo on its Twitter account, depicting a bleeding girl claiming that the poor child was injured together with a number of civilians during the Russian airstrike launched on September 30.

"Russia strike in Homs today. 33 civilians killed including 3 children and 1 SyriaCivilDef volunteer," the organization's tweet reads.

However, the false claim was immediately exposed: Twitter users discovered that the photo of the wounded girl was actually taken on September 25, 2015, five days ago.

This is an old scam by the war profiteers or Muslim Mass Murdering Propagandists.

Sadam Hussein's "Baby Milk Factory" (laughter) was among the oldest.

Sputnik news is owned by the Russian government and is thus a propaganda channel on par with Russia Today or any of their other state run networks who infamously ran the "child crucifixion" stories in Ukraine. I wouldn't even trust them to tell me the time and date.

An article: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/q-syrias-white-helmets-122936438.html?.tsrc=yahoo#5JAUfRt

White Helmets working alongside Al Nusra: https://www.facebook.com/handsoffsyria/posts/849852311794845

It’s really going to be hard to know what is truthful coming out of there and what is not.

As if the ex-KGB officer now worth $70 million is going to be a trustworthy source as well? Doh.

The only thing interesting about it is the Russians being scammed by their own scam.

I don’t know what is fact or fiction here.

Krauthammer is saying that the Russians are targeting the HOMS not ISIS. The HOMS are the guys we’re supposedly backing.

He says, ISIS is not in the area.

We’re given the head fake to believe they’re there to fight ISIS, apparently not the case. They’re there to back up Assad.

Homs is a city. There is no ISIS there, but Assad and Russia don’t care about fighting ISIS anyway. They want to kill all the other groups opposing Assad and leave ISIS alive as then Assad can present ISIS as the only alternative to him.

Sadly it seems to be working as the foreign aid to groups like Free Syrian Army has been pitiful and Assad has managed to slaughter them over the past years.

This is a Russian news site, but the white helmets do exist
https://www.whitehelmets.org/
From what I read on their website they are a part of the uprising against the government.

yeah, it’s confusing. Someone posted about George Soros’ HOMS in white helmuts.

As I see it, the Russians walked right in. The Chinese will also. Obama is clueless.

Putin, the bad guy, is now the good guy. He has the appearance of saving the Christians and the appearance that he’s going after ISIS, which we now know he’s not.

TRUMP does not have access to the real intelligence, otherwise he might have made the statement about let the Russians fight ISIS, but I think his point is clear.

We are in a bad situation, where there is really no good alternative. ONce we left the region our influence is gone.

There is no point for our young men and women to go back in there because of Obama’s FU.

The Russians went on a 20 YEAR TECHNOLOGY BUYING SPREE until just recently, thanks to open doors with the West.

I’m sure their smart bombs can now identify a “White Helmet” and deal with it. So if I were Soros, I wouldn’t be too cute these days, this isn’t Basher’s barrel bombs you’re dealing with anymore.

Obama should have acted two years ago, but of course he did nothing. He left the FSA to be slaughtered and now the whole mess has gotten 10 times worse.

Putin is interested in that the mess in the middle east would never end. He’d like the whole region to burn as Russia is a petrostate and this would knock out a competitor and increase the price of oil.

Part of me says let the Russians have it. No country has ever conquered Syria. Let the Russians spill their blood.

I think Israel might also find the Russians easier to work with than us.

It’s a mess. EVERYONE on this forum saw this coming. ONce we pulled out of Iraq it was over. There are no good choices two years ago now.

Without armies in Iraq we have no support to do anything.

You watch China is going to challenge Obama/Kerry real quick here.

I have heard people explain that the governments saw the eruption of middle east coming already over 30 years ago. It was just a problem where you don’t have good solutions. Instead your choices are bad, worse and unthinkable. That is why every administration thought it better to do nothing and kick the can further.
