NATO White Helmets follow al-Qaeda to Ukraine

Four-hundred and fifty extremists from Idlib, north-west Syria have actually gotten here in Ukraine according to Al Mayadeen.

Hailing from Idlib– the “biggest Al Qaeda haven because 9/11“- these fanatics from various nations have been despatched to Ukraine to combat against the Russian forces that together with the Syrian Arab Amy symbolized completion of their Caliphatist dreams in Syria.

These extremists gone through Turkey, a NATO member state, to reach their location in western Ukraine. According to Al Mayadeen:

senior fighters from the terrorist group Hayat Tahrir-Al-Sham (rebranded variation of Jabhat Al Nusra aka Al Qaeda) have actually held a number of conferences with senior leaders in the Turkistan Islamic Celebration group and Ansar Al Tawhid and Hurras Al Din groups, and settled on allowing a variety of their fighters to go into Ukraine through Turkey”.

According to the Counter Extremist Task:

Hurras al-Din and its leaders are U.S. Specifically Designated Global Terrorists. The U.S. presently offers a $5 million reward for information on three of its leaders”

Yet here they are defending NATO member states, led by the United States, in Ukraine, along with the NATO fascist and Neo-Nazi contras.

Sources in Idlib added that these foreign fighters are veterans of the war versus Syria led by the US and UK, bankrolled by Qatar, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

The fighters had been causing issues in Idlib and “were offered this chance to fight versus Russia as a compromise by which they would get a brand-new start and with an appropriate income”.

Does that mean they were receiving a more-than-acceptable income in Syria? It is popular that Al Qaeda and affiliates are benefiting economically from the filthy war against Syria.

The fighters were obviously given guarantees that their households would be enabled to follow on and settle in Ukraine. It needs to be kept in mind that the Zionist influence in western Ukraine and particularly Kiev consists of a vast web of military, intelligence and ideological jobs.

The inclusion of these Islamist extremist mercenaries in the war versus Russia in Ukraine demonstrates the collusion between Israel and these terrorist gangs, already documented several times in Syria.

Around 300 of the terrorists are Syrian nationals from Idlib and Aleppo countryside, 150 are Belgian, French, Chinese (Uighurs), Moroccan, Tunisian, Chechen and British nationals.

The Syrian nationals will get around $1200– $1500 but there is no figure given for the foreign nationals. Remember a typical Syrian Arab Army soldier gets 70,000 Syrian Pounds each month, around $ 20.

Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky has claimed that 16000 foreign mercenaries will fight for Ukraine.

So, NATO member states are yet again turning a sovereign country into a battleground using mercenaries and enthusiasts to defend their program– to blockade and besiege Russia on the western flank and to make sure NATO expansion east regardless of the Minsk agreements.

Russian President, Vladimir Putin had actually alerted German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz of the growing number of foreign mercenaries running in Ukraine during a telephone conversation on the 4th March.

This is not the first evidence of Syrian extremist armed groups heading to Ukraine. Militant Wire Telegram channel had actually formerly reported that a Syrian businessman, Tariq Al Jasem from the southern Aleppo countryside had actually formed a faction to eliminate against Russia in Ukraine.

Al Jasem’s links to extremists in Syria was later on validated by Syrian scientist, Ibrahim Mohammed Wahdi.

One thing is for sure, facing Russian forces on the ground in Ukraine will be an extremely various experience for these Islamist terrorists who benefitted from substantial rat runs in the locations they inhabited in Syria, investing most of their time underground while Syrian civilians were used as human guards above ground.

There are no tunnels for them to leave to in Ukraine, they will be exposed to the complete force of a Russian military currently experienced in dealing with these terrorist groups after 6 years fighting them effectively in Syria.

The White Helmet tag group

The pseudo humanitarian organisation embedded with Al Qaeda and affiliates in Syria, the White Helmets, are now using to “assist Ukrainians arrange their very first responders” according to an opinion piece by Josh Rogin for Washington Post.

Rogin doubles down on the US/UK legacy media narratives on Russian participation in the Syrian war against terrorist forces sponsored, promoted and armed by the Western US-led union.

The whole Russia “is battle hospitals, schools, civilian infrastructure” canard is rolled out, as constantly doing not have the crucial context that Al Qaeda inc. occupy schools and health centers. These buildings are converted into military headquarters, ammo factories and storage, Sharia courts, jails, torture chambers and detention centers as I have personally seen in Aleppo, Eastern Ghouta, southern Idlib– please subscribe to my YouTube channel or Odysee for multiple recorded civilian statements.

I interviewed Ahmad Aldayh in May 2017, in his store in East Aleppo. He had been held prisoner by Jabhat al Shamiya brigade [connected with Nusra Front aka Al Qaeda] in the Eye Health center in East Aleppo for 7 weeks just prior to its liberation by the SAA on 4/12/2016 when the wardens fled the advancing Syrian Army.

Here is his testimony:

According to Rogin, the International Crook Court (ICC) has said it would” right away proceed “with an examination into the supposed Russian war criminal offenses in Ukraine.

Has the ICC began proceedings versus the UK/US allied damage of Syrian civilian facilities and United States occupation of Syrian oil fields or the torching of Syrian wheat and barley fields, the deprivation of water from countless civilians in the north west of Syria, the crippling unilateral financial sanctions?

Has the ICC started procedures versus the far right Ukrainian brigades that have massacred 14,000 Russian speaking Ukrainians in the Donbass region for the last 8 years?

On the contrary, Ukraine is being supported by NATO member mentions to take Russia to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for “having launched an invasion on the pretext of false claims of genocide committed against the country’s Russian speakers” according to a report in The Guardian.

Unsurprisingly the NATO-linked “proof” service provider, Bellingcat, is involved in “preserving” proof versus Russia that is admissible in court.

Karim Khan who was elected as ICC district attorney in 2021 is a British lawyer and Queen’s Counsel. According to the Guardian, Khan’s “predecessor as ICC district attorney Fatou Bensouda announced in 2020 that there was enough proof from the conflict in Eastern Ukraine and Crimea to release an investigation however the ICC judges did not provide their approval”. Khan evaluated the case and concluded that:

I am satisfied that there is a sensible basis to think that both alleged war criminal activities and criminal offenses against humanity have been devoted in Ukraine.”

Successfully Khan imposed incorrect equivalence onto what has clearly been the attempted ethnic cleansing of the opposition to the NATO impact in Ukraine and the NATO assistance for far right, Neo-Nazi elements in the Ukrainian security forces and political institutions.

The really genuine genocide that has been ongoing for eight years in Donbass was “disappeared” simply as the companies of Western hegemony and aligned media have disappeared the atrocities devoted versus the Syrian individuals by the terrorist groups in Syria and the ethnic cleaning pogroms performed by these so called “moderate rebels”.

Get In the White Helmets

Rogin duplicates the taglines that have actually been the essential of PR for the UK-incubated White Helmet organisation– “offering emergency care to civilians since 2014”.

The “all volunteer force” where each “volunteer” is paid $150 per month for the most junior members (keep in mind the wage of a Syrian Arab Army soldier is $20) declares to have actually saved more than 100,000 civilians, a claim rendered ludicrous by their own absence of supporting documentation. Fascinating that Rogin utilizes the term “force” which more accurately represents the armed members of White Helmet groups with close links to Al Qaeda.

Raed Saleh, now referred to as the “Chairman” of the White Helmets and with terrorist ties himself made the following statement in an interview with Rogin:

We are here to help our Ukrainian brothers and siblings in any way we can,” Raed Al Saleh, the leader of the White Helmets, informed me in an interview. Putin’s goal is to break the will of the civilian population, he said, and there are no limitations to the savagery of his troops. “The Russian armed force has no concepts. They respect no human rights. They have no standards or ethics,” Saleh stated. “The Ukrainians are dealing with the most ferocious, dishonest, criminal killing machine that exists on the planet today, which we have been dealing with for the last 7 years.”

“There are no limits to the savagery of [Russian] troops” Saleh tells Rogin. For a more reserved and precise account of the Russian military campaign in Syria, I recommend ‘Operation Aleppo’ by Sunday Times factor and defence journalist Tim Ripley.

Regardless of supposedly being entrusted with the paperwork of war criminal offenses in Syria, the White Helmets have not one record of atrocities and crimes devoted by the terrorist armed groups, consisting of ISIS and Nusra Front (Al Qaeda). They are embedded with these terrorist groups yet have not witnessed a single war crime?

Those atrocities include the regular targeting of children, schools, healthcare facilities and civilian facilities in the Syrian Christian town of Al Sqeilbiyyeh, northern Hama.

During these attacks, the White Helmets shared underground headquarters with Al Qaeda in Qalaat Al Madiq less than one kilometer far from the Christian town that was threatened with extinction for 7 years prior to freedom of the surrounding locations by the Syrian Arab Army and Russian forces in early 2019.

The White Helmets are presumably preparing a series of videos to advise Ukrainian civilians in the handling of unexploded rockets, how to leave a building under attack.

I guess it will be a slick collection of their finest operations, maybe drawn from the Oscar winning promotion that was produced in Turkey, not Syria? The White Helmets are even “ready to send out in personnel”.

Maybe they would base themselves in the Zionist financed field medical facilities that are springing up in Ukraine.

Odd how this announcement follows on from the arrival of Idlibistan terrorists in Urkaine? Not truly, the White Helmets go where the terrorists go.

In Syria the White Helmets did not remain behind to assist the civilians. Once an area was liberated from the terrorist groups by the Syrian Arab Army and allies, they departed on the green buses that evacuated extremist fighters to Idlib.

In July 2018 they were evacuated from southern Syria by means of Israel to Jordan in a special operation masterminded by Israel and Canada, an extremely Zionist intervention to save the US Union funded, terrorist-linked organisation.

Saleh points out making use of walkie-talkies and the deployment of teams to monitor skies for aircrafts as a more effective early caution system. Rogin stops working to point out that the White Helmets in Syria have actually been provided with the United States State Department established Hala System that makes it possible for the grotesque militarisation of humanitarianism in Syria“.Saleh regurgitates the Russian “double tap” claims–“Russian airplanes attack civilians, wait for very first responders to get here and after that attack the very first responders”.

Saleh never refers to the evidenced double tap strikes performed by the terrorist groups embedded in urban areas in Aleppo and in all the cities they inhabited– targeting civilians, awaiting the REAL Syria Civil Defence (RSCD established in Syria 1953) to arrive prior to targeting them as they attempted to rescue Syrian civilans.

I talked to the Commander of the RSCD (not the White Helmet imposters) in Aleppo in March 2018. He informed me:

They (terrorists) targeted us intentionally in order to ruin our devices & structures. They wished to prevent us being able to work for our individuals. They would target our team with sniper fire and explosive bullets. Their primary objective was to kill the team and damage our base so we couldn’t care for individuals of Aleppo”

According to the Commander of this RSCD centre, the primary terrorist objective was to paralyse the necessary infrastructure for the 1.5 million Syrian civilians sheltering in the Syrian Government controlled West Aleppo. This consisted of the damage of water trucks, water pipes, electrical energy stations and the RSCD crews, lorries and equipment.

Among the numerous REAL Syria Civil Defence lorries that had been targeted by Nusra Front & associated extremist groups in control of Layramoun and locations surrounding the RSCD centre in East Aleppo, prior to last freedom by the SAA and allies in December 2016.

I was told that the terrorist groups systematically performed double-tap attacks on the RSCD crew. Nusra Front or among their affiliates would fire mortars into a densely populated civilian location of West Aleppo.

For instance in June 2016, terrorist groups intensified their attacks on West Aleppo.

The district of Midan was pounded by mortar fire and during one attack, a huge variety of civilians were injured and caught in destroyed buildings. The RSCD sent teams to evacuate the injured and to dig out those caught inside the buildings.

The terrorists waited on us to show up and start work, prior to they targeted the exact same area again– with mortars and hell cannon missiles”
CO, RSCD

Naturally, Rogin enhances the idea that the White Helmets are a “victim” of a “Russian disinformation project” ignoring the reality that the majority of accusations against the White Helmets originate from the Syrian civilians who survived occupation by the armed groups and the White Helmets.

Accusations of organ trafficking, child kidnapping and trafficking, staging of “chemical weapon” events, murder, theft, corruption and being weapon-carrying members of extremist armed groups– a claim even made by previous White Helmets and an operational White Helmet leader I spoke with in Daraa in July 2018.

AbdulAziz Maghrabi seated centre, with Ahrar Al Sham & Abu Amara fighters, was also head of the White Helmets in Eastern Aleppo. (Image: Maghrabi’s Facebook page)

Of course Rogin sweeps all the considerable prima facie evidence versus the White Helmets to one side, that is his job.

The reality stays, there are numerous questions hanging over the trustworthiness of the White Helmets that are yet unanswered by an independent public query into the war crimes they are accused of devoting by the Syrian people disenfranchised by mainstream media and UN firms.

Saleh claims “there is no greater honour than doing this work”. One must ask what type of honour is gained by supporting violent ideologues and enthusiasts internationally. When Saleh recommends it is a “task and privilege” to “conserve people who represent the future of their country”, is he describing the NATO-backed far right, Neo-Nazi brigades who would take outright power in Ukraine?

It would make good sense that an organisation charged with being an auxiliary to some of the most brutal and sectarian armed militant gangs in Syria would now be offering PR for their fascist equivalent in Ukraine. As Syrian President, Bashar Al Assad stated soon after the Russian military project started:

The enemy dealing with the Syrian and Russian armies is one. In Syria, it is (Islamist) extremism and in Ukraine it is Nazism. The Russian Federation will give a lesson to the world that excellent nations are not only fantastic with their military strength, however also their regard for the law, high morals and humanitarian concepts”

In 2018 during an interview with the Corbett Report I alluded to the capacity for a White Helmet international franchise. It appears that my prediction is coming to life in Ukraine.

Efficiently, the war versus the Syrian alliance has actually been changed to Ukraine and Ukraine and its people are being weaponised by NATO member states to perform their grunt work against Russia.

Ukrainians need to resist the call to arms, safe and secure negotiation with Russia and preserve neutrality before their nation becomes a battlefield strewn with the remains of another United States UK EU allied proxy war against the most powerful opponent they have confronted so far.
