U.S./UK Paid "White Helmets" Help Blocking Water To 5 Million Thirsty Syrians
Moon Over Alabama ^ | 03 January 2017

Posted on 01/05/2017 10:26:59 AM PST by Lorianne

The blockade of water from Wadi Barada to 5 million people in Damascus is taking an interesting turn. The U.S. and UK financed White Helmet organization seems to be directly involved in it. This increases the suspicion that the illegal blockade of water to civilians in Damascus is part of a organized campaign under U.S. command. The campaign is designed to block utilities to government held areas as revenge for the liberation of east Aleppo.

As we described it yesterday:

After the eastern part of the city of Aleppo was liberated by Syrian government forces, the local rebels and inhabitants in the Barada river valley were willing to reconcile with the Syrian government. But the al-Qaeda Takfiris disagreed and took over. The area is since under full al-Qaeda control and thereby outside of the recent ceasefire agreement. On December 22 the water supply to Damascus was suddenly contaminated with diesel fuel and no longer consumable. A day later Syrian government forces started an operation to regain the area and to reconstitute the water supplies.

Photos and a video on social media (since inaccessible but I saw them when they appeared) showed the water treatment facility rigged with explosives. On Dec 27th the facility was blown up and partly destroyed.

I saw a facebook video where they show these “white helmets” helping rescue a Syrian girl- except it is the same girl in 3 different photos.

If the UN is involved, its messed up. They are helping the caliphate.

The UN is the blue helmets.
Read up on the “white helmets” and what a fraud they are (as you mentioned). It’s worse than that.

The Russians and Syrians need to come down on these ‘White Helmets’ like an avalanche - no quarter.

I plead ignorance about this. Found this article that may be helpful:

In 15 days, we will finally have a real President again. I hope he will immediately change our policy on Syria. “Regime change” with no control over whether the new one will be worse is shockingly irresponsible, especially when almost all sides fighting in that free-for-all are worse than Assad. I don’t like Assad, but I hope Obama fails in that country.

Russia set up hospitals and is giving aid to the Syrians.
