While horrible photos (link 18+) of people allegedly killed in the April 7 Douma attack rapidly became widely known after they had been released by the White Helments, there was something ignored by the media.
Besides the photos of the dead bodies, Douma media activists also released videos showing two compressed gas cylinders, which had allegedly been used by the Assad regime to conduct the chemical attack on Douma.
These videos raise some questions....
------------snip----------
So, the questions:
Why the cylinder#1 is undamaged if it has been dropped by a helicopter? Why the cylinder#1 is closed? Why the bed under the cylinder#1 is undamaged? Why did the second video showing the cylinder#2 [which is damaged and even a bit burned] appear only on April 10, a day after the visit of the Russians to the area?
A person skeptical of Assad chemical attack reports by the White Helmets may say that the cylinder#1 videos were staged to confirm that the attack had beeen conducted by the Syrian Air Force. However, too much mistakes (like a lack of damage) were made. So, the organization had to make another propper video with the cylinder#2 to confirm its claims.
Everyone is free to decide for himself.

Neil Sakaramanga 2 days ago Yes, White Helmets are US, UK and Al Qaeda working closely together to make warmongering propaganda. British company, Bell Pottinger, famously made Al Qaeda videos previously.
Are all Al Qaeda and IS videos made with US and UK?

Meet the White Helmets: AngloZionist-alQaeda Mercenary Terrorists and MI6-CIA-MOSSAD Terror propagandists disguised as Humanitarian Aid
SYRIA: THE PROPAGANDA RING
by vanessa beeley
The warmongers have been hard at work for more than four years to get a direct US "regime change" intervention in Syria. Their primary tools are subterfuge and propaganda. One of their main projects is the US/UK-created "White Helmets," who pose as Syrian humanitarians but are in fact agitators for US military action. Read more about the propagandists' war efforts:
The medias the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and thats power. Because they control the minds of the masses. - Malcolm X
After four and half years of relentless propaganda being flung around our mainstream media by propagandists, NGOs and Empire serving mouthpieces, one wonders how this stream of effluent still manages to stick to the consciences of the public it serves to deceive.
Yesterday, a Facebook post caught our attention. A Palestinian based in Gaza posted two photos of child victims in Syria. The photos were accompanied by the caption, The massacres of Assad regime in Syria #Douma. The subsequent barrage of comments consisting of the usual plethora of outpouring against Assad and the SAA provoked us to investigate further.
We discovered that both photos were taken by photographer Khaled Khatib, and were of reported SAAF barrel bomb attacks on unclassified areas of Aleppo. Bearing in mind, most of Khaleds photos on Google appear to be of the immediate aftermath of such an attack, one wonders why he does not specify the area and offer a verified claim of the attack being from barrel bombs, rather than the rather non commital
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/fareed-zakaria-obama tag.
Further investigation revealed that in reality, Khaled Khatib works for and with the White Helmets and his photos are used extensively by the well known EU-backed, one man propaganda band, the www.globalresearch.ca/the-syrian-observatory-for-human-right SOHR is actually Mr Rami Abdul Rahman, who runs this propaganda feed from his house in Coventry, UK, and who bases the majority of his information on Skype calls to Syria.
This information, however, is unilaterally used by the Axis of Interventionism [US, Europe in particular] to justify their proxy invasion of a sovereign nation and their clumsy, murderous 4.5 year long attempt at the regime change of an elected government, engendering, in the process, the widespread loss of civilian life in Syria at the hands of their proxy armies.
Thanks https://ingaza.wordpress.com/2015/08/25/note-on-credibility- for the photo below (Image 2)
The White Helmets are equally suspect. This is a quote from Rick Sterlings excellent article on the dissidentvoice.org/2015/04/seven-steps-of-highly-effective-m Helmets is the newly minted name for 'Syrian Civil Defence.' Despite the name, Syria Civil Defence was not created by Syrians nor does it serve Syria.
Rather it was www.mensjournal.com/magazine/the-most-dangerous-job-in-the-w in 2013. Civilians from rebel controlled territory were paid to go to Turkey to receive some training in rescue operations. The program was managed by James Le Mesurier, a former British soldier and private contractor whose company ishttp://www.maydayrescue.org/
The trainees are said to be nonpartisan but only work in rebel-controlled areas of Idlib (now controlled by Nusra/Al Queda) and Aleppo. There are widely divergent claims regarding the number of people trained by the White Helmets and the number of people rescued. The numbers are probably highly exaggerated especially since rebel-controlled territories have few civilians. A doctor who recently served in a rebel-controlled area of Aleppo described it as a ghost town. The White Helmets work primarily with the rebel group Jabat al Nusra (Al Queda in Syria).
Video of the recent alleged chlorine gas attacks starts with the White Helmet logo and continues with the logo of Nusra. In reality, White Helmets is a small rescue team for Nusra/Al Queda.
But White Helmets primary function is propaganda. White Helmets demonizes the Assad government and encourages direct foreign intervention. A White Helmet leader wrote a recent www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/stop-the-barrel-bombs-the-de.
White Helmets are also very active on social media with presence on Twitter, Facebook etc. According to their website, to contact White Helmets email The Syria Campaign which underscores the relationship.
This illustration from Rick Sterlings article demonstrates clearly the role of White Helmets in justifying the No Fly Zone (Image 3)
Now lets have a look at Khaled Khatib and his role in this propaganda chain. He appears to be exclusively embedded in Aleppo. I have been unable to locate any photos by him that are not from this region [on https://www.google.fr/search?hl=en&;amp;site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1366&bih=643&q=Khaled+Khatib+Syria&oq=Khaled+Khatib+Syria&gs_l=img.3...3189.7636.0.8010.19.19.0.0.0.0.120.1545.17j1.18.0....0...1.1.64.img..6.13.1082.TUY60JQFU4w].
The majority of his photos are taken between January and June 2014. Now bearing in mind the mounting evidence of the civilian casualties and fatalities as a result of the rebel
https://thewallwillfall.wordpress.com/2015/08/09/syria-welco, mortars, and snipers in Aleppo, it should be surprising that not one of his images records the devastation and bloodshed caused by these wildly inaccurate and lethal weapons employed by the so called opposition cells positioned all over
https://thewallwillfall.wordpress.com/2015/08/13/syria-from-.
Instead every photo and every statement from this propagandist focuses only on the Syrian Governments reported use of the legendary barrel bombs. www.ibtimes.com/syrian-regimes-barrel-bombs-kill-more-civili from the Syrian army, the militias who are fighting with them, and ISIS, said Khaled Khatib, a photographer with the Aleppo branch of the Syrian Civil Defence, a volunteer rescue organization. But the weapon that kills the most Syrians by 90 percent is the barrel.
We have demonstrated that the White Helmets are an integral part of the propaganda vanguard that ensures obscurantism of fact and propagation of Human Rights fiction that elicits the well intentioned and self righteous response from a very cleverly duped public. A priority for these NGOs is to keep pushing the No Fly Zone scenario which has already been seen to have disastrous implications for innocent civilians in Libya, for example.
Khaled Khatib is quoted by the www.theguardian.com/world/2015/feb/27/us-military-warn-civil as being reserved on the No Fly Zone, but vehement in calls for a radar or early warning system that will ensure that civilians can flee areas that are about to be bombed by the Syrian Government forces. Lets just examine this statement, echoed by The Syria Campaign director, James Sadri: If we could only get warning that the planes were coming, we could warn families, tell people to run from the markets, get the children out of the schools, let the medical centers know so that they can take cover, Khatib said. Every airport in the world has this technology it is common, it is civilian. Why cant they share it with us?
Hmmm so, this makes an assumption, regularly echoed by the HRW brigades like Annie Sparrow and Ken Roth who have become increasingly rabid in their barrel bomb narrative, that the Syrian Government is going to deliberately target civilian areas like hospitals and schools. This seems absurd when one takes into account that most families in Syria have family members in the Syrian forces combating foreign proxy armies made up of terrorists and mercenaries. To suggest that these forces would be turned against their own families is delusional if not downright criminal and inhumane. Therefore we must assume that the Syrian forces are quite rightly targeting embedded terrorist cells, cells that are nested within civilian areas. We know that
https://thewallwillfall.wordpress.com/2015/07/25/update-from shrunk to one fifth of its size thanks to the infiltration of many areas by these mercenary fighters. This infiltration has driven many civilians into safe pockets within Aleppo away from terrorist strongholds. The SAA is marooned on the Acropolis Hill in the strategic centre of the Old Citadel in Aleppo and is surrounded on all sides by rebel encampments.
With this information in mind, we must ask the question, who would benefit most from this early warning system the civilians or the rebels?
I have created a collage of the most dramatic of Khaled Khatibs images, many of which are credited to AFP and Getty Images so we know they will be extensively used by the mainstream media to convey the situation in Syria. I will in no way detract from the very real suffering of the people of Syria caught up in a war not of their making and fuelled by Western arming, funding and logistic support for the opposition to the Government that is steadfastly resisting their interventionism.
However, I would ask anyone to view these photos with an impartial eye and to appreciate their importance as a propaganda tool. We know that
www.maskofzion.com/2011/07/kiss-of-democratic-death-israels-, for example has fabricated evidence before now and used artistic licence to create images that pull on our heart strings. www.globalresearch.ca/media-manipulation-and-discrepancies-b, the erstwhile reputed bastion of British media integrity has been caught out lying and deceiving on a terrifying scale when it comes to Syria. I leave it up to you, but
ronpaulinstitute.org/media/120119/syria-3.jpg are some of Khaleds images (graphic).
The final point that I would like to make is that during my investigation I noticed one important fact. Even when a report is written about an ISIS atrocity, we often will see Khaled Khatibs photograph accompanying that report. I will give you an example. In March 2014, the Daily Star [Lebanon] reported on horrific mass executions carried out by ISIS throughout Syria, including Aleppo. www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Middle-East/2014/Mar-18/250634-isi. Despite this article describing the hideous killings and torture of civilians by ISIS, the caption on the accompanying photo by KK reads The bodies of two children lie in the rubble of a residential building targeted by [yes you guessed it] barrel bombs launched by regime forces.
My marketing background alerts me to this insidious form of subliminal advertising that will ensure that the public psyche absorbs the message of regime atrocities in preference to the information regarding ISIS depravity. A brief check on other mainstream media reports demonstrates that this is not an isolated case. Some may argue that the media outlets have simply made a mistake, I would refute that argument..once maybe, ten times, twenty times is no coincidence.

If nothing else all this makes you think are we doing exactly what is expected of us. And who really wants regime change in Syria and why?
Someone in the area knows what happened that should be our job,to find out.
I guess the bigger question is who benefits if we become re-engaged in the mid-east a no win area for sure.
Why the cylinder#1 is closed?
Why is the bed under cylinder#1 undamaged?
Why did the second video showing the cylinder#2 [which is damaged and even a bit burned] appear only on April 10, a day after the visit of the Russians to the area?
We're being played once again?
