"The President has authorized the United States Agency for International Development and the U.S. Department of State to release approximately $6.6 million for continuation of the vital, life saving operations of the Syrian Civil Defense, more commonly known as the White Helmets.....
The United States Government strongly supports the White Helmets who have saved more than 100,000 lives since the conflict began, including victims of Assad's chemical weapons attacks...."
US Department of State news release 6/14/2018
"The Syrian organization was also accused by Russia and the Damascus government of covering up militants crimes and of staging fake chemical attacks to provoke U.S. military action against the Syrian Arab Army (SAA)......
Most of the U.S. funds will likely find its way to the White Helmets centers in areas controlled by the former branch of al-Qaeda in Syria HTS and other al-Qaeda affiliated groups....."
"Southfront" article 6/14/2018
If the news release from Heather Nauert at the US State Department is to be believed, the "White Helmets" are a humanitarian aid group.
The US decision to fund "White Helmets" sets the stage for more "White Helmet" involvement in alleged chemical attacks, according to other sources.
Attacks that will be used to justify new military action against the Syrian government.
While President Trump has said defeat of ISIS is the only US objective in Syria, he has also turned around to condemn Russia, Iran and Syria over their actions in Syria, sandwiching defeat of ISIS with dual condemnations of those three countries in his February 23rd, 2018 statement at the White House.

The United States will take "firm and appropriate measures" in response to any Syrian "violations" of the de-escalation zone in SW Syria that expired in April, the State Department said Thursday.
President Bashar Al-Assad told an Iranian media outlet earlier this week that there is still time for a peaceful solution before Syria resorts to military force to clear out jihadist forces in the area.

I’ll bet sweety pants Lindsey Graham is behind that.
Thanks for posting. Judging from the lack of interest in your post and mine last night,
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3663289/posts, nobody seems to notice or care that our government is funding Al Qaeda’s PR front. The UK FCO has given them £65 million.
Wearing their White Helmets in one pic, then sawing off a twelve year old boy’s head with a rusty knife in the next.
WTF?! I thought the White Helmets was really a Jihadi group advancing their goal of faking news about the Syrian Army?
There’s a lot of distracting news out there but one day everyone will wake up and be told Syria, Russia and Iran have staged yet another “outrage”.
Nikki’s Haley’s speech is probably in the drive ready to go.
Unreal....This is not why we elected Trump
Out of Syria. A campaign promise that was a lie.
And the lies and propaganda we are being told to justify this ongoing horror. I am beyond sickened by my government’s actions in Syria.
*** WTF?! I thought the White Helmets was really a Jihadi group advancing their goal of faking news about the Syrian Army? ***
Yes, the White Helmets are Al Qaeda /Al Nusra. They are financed by your tax dollars. And UK tax dollars. Crap Rescue vid’s are not their only skill. They are also organ traffickers, Exeutioners. Sex traffickers, kdnappers.
They are absolutely vile, and every taxpayer in the US is financing their evil.
