When the “White Helmets” tried to recruit Roger Waters of Pink Floyd fame as a propaganda agent, the attempt not only failed, it backfired.
Fans of classical rock music certainly know about Pink Floyd and their lead singer Roger Waters. So does the organization ”White Helmets,” which twice attempted to recruit Roger Waters to support its mission. Recently, they asked Roger Waters for permission to go on stage at his concert in Barcelona and promote their efforts. The musician did not respond to any of the two recruitment attempts, but instead chose to comment on them on stage himself. Roger Waters said:
There was some fellow, he may well be very well meaning, a very lovely chap, his name is ‘Pascal’, something around that. And he wanted to come on stage and make a speech about Douma, East Ghouta, where he believes was a chemical attack on the people of Douma by Bashar Assad. Hang on, let me finish.
And he is one voice. I personally think he is entirely wrong. I believe the organization whom he purports to represent and whom he supports, White Helmets, is a fake organization that exists only to create propaganda for jihadis and terrorists. That’s my belief. We have opposing beliefs.
If we were to listen to this guy, and if we were to listen to the propaganda of the White Helmets and others, we would be encouraged to encourage our governments to start dropping bombs on people in Syria. This would be a mistake of monumental proportions for us as human beings.
What we should do is go and persuade our governments not to go and drop bombs on people. And certainly not until we have done all the research that is necessary so that we have a clear idea of what is really going on. Because we live in the world where propaganda seems to be more important than the reality of what is really going on,
So I would encourage Pascal to wait until the evidence is in before he leaps to any conclusions.
Waters is venomously anti-Israel and has never shown any awareness of the jihad threat. But if the White Helmets are too much even for him, that should give even their most fervent supporters pause. Another leftist who doesn’t understand the jihad threat, American journalist Max Blumenthal, manager of the Greyzone Project, was given the two emails that Roger Waters had received concerning the White Helmets, and agreed with Waters. In additional comments, Waters encourages other celebrities, who previously voiced their support for the White Helmets, to reconsider their support of the group:
”I don’t blame them for having bought in to it. On the face of it, it felt plausible that the White Helmets were just good people doing good things. But now we know they’re trying to encourage the West to drop bombs and missiles illegally in Syria,” the famous singer said.
Waters also said to Greyzone Project that Syria Campaign (which does public relations for the White Helmets) is ”a malign organization funded by people who hope to gain from the ouster of Bashar Assad because once he’s gone, it will be open season for the stealing of the assets of a failed state.”
Who are the ”White Helmets”?
The White Helmets, frequently described as a group of “volunteers,” has been tracked in detail by the independent British journalist Vanessa Beeley. According to her records, the White Helmets were founded by the British ”Security contractor” (some say “mercenary”) James le Mesurier in March 2013 in Turkey, with a seed funding of $300,000 from England, United States and Japan. Since then, the organization has received at least $123 million of foreign aid from a variety of countries and governments.
The White Helmets were created at a time where it was becoming known that the majority of Syrian rebels were in fact jihad warriors, fighting to replace the secular Syrian republic with Sharia and a Caliphate. According to independent journalist Vanessa Beeley, it was Le Mesurier’s “‘realization that humanitarian aid was more effective at maintaining war than an army” that spurred his creation of the organization.
In other words, this is a partisan propaganda effort in the Syrian war. And Le Mesurier was right: this has been quite effective.
The White Helmets operate exclusively in areas controlled by the Islamist rebels, never in areas under control of the Syrian government. There is no reason to assume that they can do this without approval from the Islamist rebels. Considering the frequently observed co-location of White Helmets offices and other facilities with offices of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham and other jihad organizations, one can safely assume that the White Helmets have a willful and direct cooperation with the jihadis. Thus how can one reasonably assume that their funding is not also funneled to the jihadis?
Do the White Helmets deserve an Oscar?
Independent journalists such as Beeley, Eva Bartlett, Pearson Sharp, Robert Fisk and Blumenthal are reporting in detail about the actual activities of the White Helmets. They travel at their own risk and expense to Aleppo, Ghouta and other war-torn areas in order to talk to people on the ground to collect direct impressions of the situation there.
These independent voices systematically state that the White Helmets work with jihadis and terrorists, but are not undertaking any honest and systematic effort to aid civilians wounded during the battles. The supposedly ”impartial volunteers” provide help only to jihad warriors and themselves, leaving civilians behind in the ruins. As Eva Bartlett put it: “They are White Helmets by day and terrorists by night.”
But this gets worse: The White Helmets are more systematic at filming their supposedly heroic efforts than at providing them impartially. There are many examples of how the same children are being “rescued” over and over by different helpers in addition to false photos of “wounded.”
The most recent example of staging is from the supposed chemical attack in Douma. Here, according to the White Helmets’ own video, we are expected to believe that a cylinder of chlorine gas broke through an iron-reinforced concrete roof without damaging the glassware below. The cylinder then levitated across the room to lie down gently on wooden double bed. The cylinder, still sealed, showed no sign of impact damage from the roof, but did somehow manage to scratch the staircase leading up to the apartment. Neither the cylinder nor its content had caused any harm to the chickens held downstairs, not to mention the supposed victims in the basement of the building.
One particularly embarrassing example was the so-called “Mannequin challenge,” a video showing a dusty man lying quietly among some rubble, rescue workers standing in frozen positions above him. On cue, the “victim” starts screaming from pain, and the workers jump into action, rushing the man elsewhere. Since this was obviously an event staged for filming, the White Helmets had to issue an apology for “error of judgment” over releasing it. But even though staged, this video proved one thing conclusively: the White Helmets are both willing and able to stage realistic-looking staged events of rescue actions. This casts doubt over every video released by them.
Given these talents, it should be obvious to give the White Helmets an Academy Award. And that actually did take place: In 2017, the White Helmets won the category Documentary (Short Subject). This 40-minute “documentary” conveniently ignores the presence of Islamist rebels in the Syrian war, not to mention their massive atrocities against Syrian civilians.
Quranic background for the White Helmets
However, White Helmets leader Khaled Khateeb was denied entry into the United States to collect the award since the Department of Homeland Security had unspecified concerns about his connections. Instead, he had the following message for the event:
We’re so grateful this film has highlighted our work to the world. Our organization is guided by a verse in the Koran, ‘To save one life is to save all of humanity.’ We have saved more than 82,000 Syrian lives. I’ll invite anyone here who hears me to work on the side of life to stop the bloodshed in Syria and around the world.
The figure 82,000 is unsubstantiated and undocumented. More interesting, of course, is the implicit reference to the oft-quoted Quran verse 5:32. Which in full reads as follows:
On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person – unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land – it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.
The Quran-literate Khaled Khateeb will certainly be aware of the relevant context in verse 5:33:
The punishment of those who wage war against God and His Apostle, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter.
“Mischief through the land” would be opposition to Islamic law, Sharia. This speaks volumes.
What should we do?
The logical first step to the problems with the ”White Helmets” is to stop funding them. Their close cooperation with jihad organizations such as Jabat al-Nusra, Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham and Nour Al Din Zinki in itself constitutes sufficient reason to stop funding them. Latest: The US government just stopped funding the White Helmets.
Further, it would be appropriate to request that the White Helmets document in detail how they spent the lavish funding they already received.
Finally, all material published by the group should be considered suspect, and undergo critical scrutiny before being used as justifications for government action. Just like any other source.

St. Manuel II Palailogos says
Jihad Watch has a massive conflict of interest. On the one hand, support for the Israelis who support the Gulf States and their jihadist forces. On the other hand, a skepticism against those jihadist forces which are funded by those same Israelis, who fight against the Russians and the Syrian government.
Sentinel says
When most of the countries surrounding you are ledger to your annihilation then you make your allies where you can, even if there may seem to be no logic or ethical reason. Survival makes such issues irrelevant.
I am neither Jewish nor a particular supporter of Israel but I do admire their uncompromising method of sealing with the threats they face.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
Sorry, Sentinel, but I am having trouble understanding you. What does it mean to be “ledger” to something? And “sealing” — ah, I get it: that’s just a mistyping of “dealing”.
Sentinel says
Sorry it’s these intuitive systems that can make nonsense of any point you try to make. I must resolve to double-check what I think I have written.
The word I wanted to print was ‘pledged’.and ‘dealing’
christianblood says
St. Manuel II Palailogos
You are absolutely right Palailogos!
I believe JihadWatch should be neutral and report the threat of the evil of islamo-jihadism which is emanating from the evil doctrines islamo-fascism. I am very happy that JihadWatch is finally talking about the Al-Qaeda media propaganda stunt group known as the “White Helmets” which are openly funded, supported and backed by the US, UK, France and Saudi Arabia and Western countries in general.The White Helmet, which are an Al-Qaeda PR propaganda group has even won an Oscar in the Hollywood recently was even nominated for the Nobel Peace Price! Thank you JihadWatch and thank you Henrik Raeder Clausen for reporting this. For more info about the “White Helmets” and its founders and supporters please Watch the lively discussion about them on the link below:
Eur says
We must be impartial and honest. Israel is committing barbarities in the West Bank … it’s true. Western interests in Saudi oil make us complicit in many barbarities that the Wahhabis commit … and those barbarities are committed by Muslims in our own countries … and we must not forget that the Middle East is a groestrategic place where you are currently playing a power game between Russia, China and NATO. All that is true. But we must not forget the power exercised by the Islamic doctrine in all those societies … and in the communities that have come to live among us. Islam is a fascist shit, a doctrine of conquest in the political and of submission in the social and personal. We can not allow that ideology to advance in our societies, it is pure poison. I do not want to talk about the Islamic theological issue because those issues seem silly to me. The issue here is the survival of our societies as free and democratic, imperfect but democratic societies. Islam is the opposite of democracy. Islam is not a religion.
The acts committed by the Palestinians are justified and provoked by the Islamic clerics. Muslim societies are theocratic societies … all of them. Where there is Islam there is theocracy. Do you want theocracy in your country? For the massive immigration of Muslims means that your country will become in the medium or long term in an infected theocratic well where those who control the society are the clergymen from the mosques, where the laws of the parliament are conditioned by the Qur’an and the Sunnah.

Alex says
Still cannot get blood libel pattern of thinking out of your head, can’t you? Israel doesn’t “support” nor “fund” any Sunni jihadis in Syria as it’s just as against its interests as looking the other way when challenged by Shia jihadis. It may be hard for you Jew-hating brain to understand, but to us Sunni and Shia jihadis are one and the same. Moreover, the second simplest reason for not supporting any kind if jihadis in Syria (after the obvious “they all hate us” reason) is that Israel is a small country and doesn’t have any spare funds for foreign jihadis of any kind.
Saudis’ rapprochement with Israel is very recent and aimed at countering Iran which is much more dangerous to us currently than the regime in Riyadh. And it’s the Saudis seeking it, not Israel. In any case, noone in Israel owes Jew-haters like you any explanations about how best to cope with the Iranian threat and whether to make temporary alliance with another Muslim theocracy or not.
Ah, and just to remind you where White Helmets took their lessons from. It’s Pallywood. People like you never seemed to reel from al-Durah hoax, “corpses” coming alive after filming etc. So why now?

Alex
What do you mean? US, Israel, UK, Saudis, France, Turkey, Qatar and others Nato member nations support, arm and train islamic jihadists that are fighting Assad giving them billions of dollars of arms and other support, including salaries. Israel provides them medical support to the wounded jihadists and moves them to Israel proper to treat them. Watch the video below, the cash of Israeli weaponry found in Eastern Gouta just a few days ago by the Syrian army. None of the US allies, including Israel care about millions of Christians and other minorities who will be massacred by the barbaric jihadists if Assad falls. Watch the video:

Well-said, Avenger! Thank you!

Christianblood has actually said before that it is Israel waging violent Jihad. Meanwhile, he supports Hizb’allah.
Avenger says
The USA and Britain have always used proxy Muslim armies or Muslim terrorists to overthrow legitimate governments that they perceived as threats to their national security or in this case a threat to our terrorist ally Saudi Arabia and military powerhouse Israel.
When this “brilliant” way of subduing our enemy succeeds it usually leaves the non Muslim population in ruin or exterminated. This will most likely occur in Syria after the fall of Assad, leaving the Middle East even more monolithic muslim.
Eighty percent of the Christian population in Syria was murdered by the Young Turks during the implosion of Ottoman Empire in the early 1900’s. The remaining 900,000 that survived that past pogrom will most certainly be slaughtered by our al Qaeda allies right after the collapse of the legitimate Syrian government.
Will Trump welcome the Christian refugees that might survive this new genocide like Obama did when Muslims fled Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan.? I really doubt it.
The USA has either sold or given Israel and Saudi Arabia the most lethal weapon systems on earth. Let these two newly bonded allies defend themselves directly against Iran!
Guess what? Even with US support these two nations don’t have the backbone to take on Iran. I guess our own US soldiers will have to do that dirty work and die doing it. That’s right, we are the defenders of freedom.
You are truly geniuses President Trump and John Bolton, you’re worth every petro dollar that’s been back doored to your administration

Neither Trump/US nor Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey or Western Europeans cares about the massacre of imminent of Christians and millions of other minorities if Assad falls and Western-backed jihadists take over Syria. They are all motivated by the Anti-Christ spirit of Satan which is their god! Money and power is their god but they will not last long neither will they prevail. Truth and Justice will prevail!
gravenimage says
I see that Avenger is another creep who wants to see civilized Israel destroyed by Muslims. *Ugh*.
And the Armenian Genocide was committed by Muslims, not Americans.
Henrik Clausen says
Actually, I differ. JihadWatch follows Jihad, in whichever form it takes. In Syria, it has become a bizarre labyrinth of direct and indirect support/alliances between the strangest of groups, a tangled web that hardly makes sense anymore. Jihad as such is where the lasting importance lies, not least what is driven by Iran.
Chand says
St. Manuel II Palailogos says “Jihad Watch has a massive conflict of interest.”
Yes, St. Manuel.
The basic reason is that Jihadwatch propagates that Islam is a monolithic thing built upon the one religion based on the one book with one agenda of jihad and establishing Sharia globally.
The truth is that Muslims are a diverse people grounded in their particular socio-politico-economic conditions. Their political expressions, including war and jihad are also similarly due to particular events with specific histories, grounded in local conditions, eliciting local, diverse responses.
Muslims, all supposedly following Islam, often fight each other.
The modern jihadis have hijacked the religion for their political purposes. Their political goals of dominance, like all political goals of all peoples, are given religious legitimacy. Happened in the past with most religions too.
Contradictions are bound to arise with such a wrong premise.
christianblood says
Chand
The dominant form of Islam, the overwhelmingly leading ideology of islam, in all over the islamic world is the Takfiri/Wahhabi/Salafi/Sunni Islam (Sunnis are about 93 percent of all muslims). Sunni Islam is ideologically, financially and religiously based on Saudi Arabia, the birth place of islam, where the Haj is, which is also the direction to which all muslims have to pray five times a day! After, Saudi Arabia, all other oil-rich Gulf states share the same ideology and propagate islam far and wide in all over the world with trillions of dollars! That islam we face in the world and it is 93 percent of all muslims, it is the powerhouse of islam and its very dangerous, very violent and extremely intolerant and even genocidal to the core. To give you an example, According to the (thereligionofpeace.com) 32320 deadly islamic terrorist attacks have been carried out since 9/11.and EVERY SINGLE ONE IS PERPETRATED BY SUNNI ISLAM, not a single one of them was carried by Shiites or Ahmadis or Ismaelly muslims.
gravenimage says
Muslims have been attacking and conquering Infidels for 1400 years. None of Chand’s sickening apologia for the savagery of Islam changes that.
Richard says
This is basically the same sort of thing we saw that got us into the Kosovo War, bombing Serbia to give the Muslims a state. Turned out the Muslims were fired on by their own people to gain our intervention. Whatever may be said of Assad, he is all that protects Syria’s Christians, just as Saddam Hussain protected the Christians in Iraq. Get rid of Assad and there will be religious cleansing like the Turks did with the Armenians. The kindest thing we can do is let the war end as soon as it can, without prolonging casualties.
gravenimage says
What a load of crap from St. Manuel II Palailogos. He has said he supports Muslims destroying civilized Israel. *Ugh*.
Baucent says
The world media is quick to run a “gas attack” story, but slow to do what proper journalists are suppose to do, which is look impartially at the evidence and ask searching questions. Right now Assad may be a bad man, but I don’t think he is a fool. Faking a gas attack with a staged video of victims would make sense from an anti Assad propaganda perspective and should be the first question a reporter considers, particularly when they cannot visit the location to check claims made.
Charlie says
“Exclusive Emails Show How The White Helmets Tried To Recruit Roger Waters With Saudi Money”…
How much Saudi money was going to George Soros in offshore bank accounts to facilitate his phony Open Society “philanthropies”. The invasion of Europe was a planned operation veiled in the guise of charity and media controlled propaganda directed at opposition.
762x51FMJ says
Look at it from Bashar Assad’s point of view. The USA was finally going to pull out of Syria. They could beat the rebels and have some limited peace and stability..
So he would then gas his own people so the USA will bomb his bases ? and support the rebels who wish to depose him ?
One only has to look at the timing to see this.
Trump announces we are pulling out of Syria, within days another false flag gas attack, the US then escalates the situation..
These Rebels are funded by the deep state, by Obama/Jarret , Kerry/Soros, deep state Democrat Clinton crime syndicate with RINO’s who have cash investments in the big game…
Opium poppy fields in Afghanistan need the Syrian corridor open for Hezbollah/Iran to ship the heroin to Lebanon, then to Venezuela, and then to the USA.
It is starting to almost look like Obama is the worlds biggest arms supplier and his Democrats are the biggest heroin dealers in the USA.
El Chapo probably got his guns from Eric Holder to keep the Mexico portion of the heroin corridor open. the profits kick back to the DNC to elect more Democrats who demand open US borders for the cartels AND simultaneously demand Bashar Assad be deposed even if it means WW3 with Russia to do so. The heroin pipeline must flow and a war could then be blamed on Trump.

I’m so glad this article was put together and published here. I had never realized that the White Helmets occur only in Islamist-controlled areas. Both right-wingers and left-wingers are finally coming together to call out the White Helmets as a scam. (Go on YouTube and watch the “fascistic” anti-Trump visuals from Waters’ 2017 world tour.) This gives me a brief glimmer of hope that the media can actually accomplish some good in this world. Of course, CNN, being a terrorist organization itself, will never come around, and will keep attacking anyone who raises doubts about the White Helmets. A small shiny object like an Oscar is all it takes to hypnotize and trick those leftist media scumbags. Now back to Stormy Daniels…

The name has popped up in so many places. Thank you for the information about who they are. “White” being chosen to mislead. The evil book of islam being enough to say they are no different from other terror groups except that they claim to be so good. Lies come easily to these liars.
awake says
Nice to see Henrik given a forum here on JW. A veteran of GoV, Henrik, like Robert and Hugh, should have forgotten more about Islam now than many readers still yet know about Islam, but they didn’t.
The irreproachable Hugh Fitzgerald stated long ago that Jihad Watch is essentially a pedagogical site. That remains true from JW’s inception, to today, and I have been an avid reader for well over a decade.
JW has many informed long-time commenters, namely Gravenimage, dumbledoresarmy, Wellington, Cornelius, AlarmedPigFarmer and the rest. All the aforementioned, true scholars of Islamic doctrine, as provided by our intrepid leader, Robert Spencer.
In full disclosure, Robert taught me how to debate on the internet. This was a free education of invaluable importance. I suspect that I am not alone.
For me, the reality of Islam is a fast-path to the red pill, and I’ve never looked back.
RichardL says
Thank you. Very interesting piece. I was shocked when the UN called the WH terrorist supporters. I never agreed with UN before.
Anne Smith says
Interesting piece but sadly our own and incredibly stupid Prime Minister, Theresa May, has apparently not kept up to speed with the intelligence.
She has just made an announcement in the British Parliament saying that the British will step in to support the wonderful work done by the White Helmets now that the Americans are withdrawing their support.
She was fulsome with her praise for the work they did and so now the poor British tax payer is being called on to pay for these misguided foreign ventures yet again.
Please could someone enlighten this woman or else get rid of her? As I have said before, the British Foreign Office is under the sway of Muslim/Arab influences and still firmly rooted in the past. Once can only despair at the stupidity of those who presume to rule over us.
Henrik Clausen says
I suggest to contact Baroness Cox or other good people in your Parliament with this information.
Chand says
Yep. Always felt some fishy about the Douma chemical attack video. Another ploy by the jihadis to provoke the West into attacking Assad. And it worked. Now there is further escalation with Israel and Iran confronting each other directly.
Bad news for Syrians. The war is being prolonged. Will Russia get involved again militarily?
