The White Helmets: Al-Qaeda Wins An Oscar

[the_ad id=”87125″]The White Helmets won the Oscar — could Hollywood be more predictable?

In their acceptance speech, they quote from the Quran, but actually the quote is a stolen verse from the Jewish Talmud: “Whoever destroys a soul, it is considered as if he destroyed an entire world. And whoever saves a life, it is considered as if he saved an entire world.” (Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:5; Yerushalmi Talmud 4:9, Babylonian Talmud Sanhedrin 37a)

The White Helmets are al-Qaeda:

Here is an important article about the White Helmets’ leader’s terrorist connections.

“Film about Syrian White Helmets wins Oscar amid allegations of terrorist ties,” RT, February 27, 2017:

A documentary film praising Syria’s White Helmets, a rescue group hailed as heroes and saviors by the MSM, amid allegations of having ties with terrorist organizations, has won the Oscar for best documentary short feature.

“The White Helmets,” a 40-minute documentary, marks first Oscar win for director Orlando von Einsiedel.

The film revolves around the “perilous work of volunteers who brave falling bombs to rescue civilians from the carnage of Syria’s civil war,” the description on its Netflix page says.

A synopsis, published on the Oscars website, reveals that the film is set “in the chaos of war-torn Syria” where “unarmed and neutral civilian volunteers known as ‘the white helmets’ comb through the rubble after bombings to rescue survivors.” 

Patrick Henningsen, a geopolitical analyst at 21st Century Wire.com in an earlier interview to RT late last month explained how the footage was obtained.

The “film itself is not a real documentary,” he said. “All of the footage used in the film was provided to the producers by the White Helmets themselves. This film production crew – Netflix productions – did not film any of the so-called rescue scenes.”

“What this film is essentially a PR cushion for a $100-$150 million covert op, which is basically an NGO front funded by USAID, the British Foreign Office, various EU member states, Qatar, and other various and sundry nations, and members of the public, who quite frankly in my opinion and many others, have been duped into donating their money for this rescue group, that is anything but. It essentially functions as a support group alongside Al-Nusra and al-Din al-Zenki and other known terrorist groups operating in Syria. That is a fact that has been proven by a number of eyewitness testimonies.”

The White Helmets, also known as the Syrian Civil Defense, are “the largest civil society organization operating in areas outside of government control,” the group’s website proudly reads.

According to the group’s leader, Raed Saleh, those “unarmed and neutral rescue workers have saved more than 78,529 people from the attacks in Syria.” 

The unit has also received praise from Amnesty International, describing it as “a group of neutral, unarmed volunteers.” 

Although the rescue group largely appears to be in the MSM media’s good books, not everyone looks at the White Helmets’ activities through rose-tinted glasses.

In December, Eva Bartlett, a Canadian journalist and rights activist who has traveled to Syria several times since the start of the conflict, said that members of the group “purport to be rescuing civilians in eastern Aleppo and Idlib [but] …no one in eastern Aleppo has heard of them.” 

Bartlett noted during her highly emotional speech at the UN that “their video footage actually contains children that have been ‘recycled’ in different reports; so you can find a girl named Aya who turns up in a report in say, August, and she turns up in the next month in two different locations.”

The White Helmets operate in Syria’s rebel and Islamist territories and appear to enjoy the support of various western governments.

“They are fantastically brave, these White Helmets. I’m proud to say we’re giving them I think £32 million [$39.78 million] funding as part of a wider £65 million package for non-humanitarian aid,” British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said last year.

The rescue group, which was nominated for the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize, has repeatedly claimed to be independent of their anti-Assad sponsors, roots and overlords, saying they are unsullied by Western cash.

“They claim that they receive no funding from any government that has a vested interest in the Syria conflict,” Vanessa Beeley, independent researcher and journalist, told RT in October.

“And yet, they are in fact multi-million funded, conservatively speaking, a hundred million dollars, from the US – $23 million via USAID; UK around $65 million; France is supplying equipment…,” she added.

Beeley believes that “there is massive video and photographic testimonial evidence from inside Syria to give evidence that they are running a terrorist support group.”

“If we look at their claims to be neutral, they are embedded entirely in terrorist-held areas whether it is predominantly Al-Nusra Front or ISIS or any of the various associated brigades of terrorists that take their command very much from Al-Nusra Front, that is where White Helmets are exclusively.”

Beeley said the group members “provide medical care for the terrorists, they funnel equipment in from Turkey into the terrorist areas (…) They’ve been filmed participating and facilitating an execution of a civilian in Aleppo. They post celebratory videos to their social media pages of the execution of civilian Arab soldiers.”

She added that “from the testimony from the real Syria Civil Defense across Syria they have also been involved in the taking over of the real Syria Civil Defense units, the stealing of their equipment and the eventual massacres and kidnapping of real Syria Civil Defense crews.”

Islam and the far-Left run the Academy.

Hope every derned-tootin’ one of the posters here did not watch the Academy Awards. This writer celebrated the event with some real fun activity – filling out my Form 1040. Never a dull moment …

Yes. Amendment 16 in 1913, income tax in 1916 – and on we go … thanks to early 20th Century progressive, Woodrow Wilson.

Roaring 20’s following by depression-era 30’s, economy then war rebounded, and the boom bust cycle that has been used to rob the American people of $20,000,000,000,000 and counting is still rolling

IS has said they would like to do something big at award ceremonies like the oscars. They worded it a bit more strongly. Hollywood and true fundamental Islam absolutely cannot mix. It does not bring honor and detracts from the holy work they feel they should do. The provacative western dress which is highlighted to excess at these affairs does not sit well with them. Hollywood is beyond stupid. The left. I’m not sure what they are.

I am from Vancouver,Canada and I wanted to say that the ‘White Helmets’ should have been condemned not given an Oscar.They are supporters of terrorist groups in Syria. The White Helmets were started by James LeMesunier,a military contractor from England. They get paid by the US, British and other imperialist Gov’ts.That is reason enough to condemn them.This Film about them should be boycotted by all who fight against the Terrorists in Syria.

They rip off from the Talmud. I think the real quote is something related to “Whosoever saves a life, it is as if he has saved the whole world.” Moronic self hater, Peter Bienert, used that quote from the Koran, “Whosoever takes a life…” and idiotically said it was from the Talmud.

Thanks, this story probably deserves repeated followup, as I don’t think the award-givers realize what they have done.

This does reek strongly of propaganda…the West should just stay out of Syria altogether, Arabs killing Arabs, what else is new?

If the Hollywood snowflakes love you chances are you are thew scum of the earth much they are! The only things Hollywood does not embrace are traditional Christian American values and American patriots. If you are a Satanist, Pizza gate scumbag, terrorist or criminal they they will embrace you as their family!
