Swedish Doctors for Human Rights: White Helmets Video, Macabre
Manipulation of Dead Children and Staged Chemical Weapons Attack to
Justify a “No-Fly Zone” in Syria

by The Indicter |posted in: March 2017 issue

By Prof Marcello Ferrada de Noli, chairman, Swedish Doctors for Human
Rights – SWEDHR.

An examination of a White Helmets video, conducted by Swedish medical
doctors, specialists in various fields, including paediatrics, have
revealed that the life-saving procedures seen in the film are incorrect
– in fact life-threatening – or simply fake, including simulated
emergency resuscitation techniques being used on already lifeless children.

The Alleged Sarmin Attack

There has been a recent, intense, publicity campaign that has
capitalised on the Oscar for best documentary being awarded to the NATO
and Gulf state funded organization, the White Helmets and their Netflix
documentary producers. [1] The White Helmets had previously been winners
of the “Alternative Nobel Prize”, given to them in Sweden in 2016. [2]
These various awards have ensured that the White Helmet fictitious
“saving-children-lives” videos have been re-circulating across corporate
and social media, a major PR coup for the sponsors of this questionable
organization.

Central to this PR campaign and just prior to the Oscar award ceremony,
Human Rights Watch published a “retrospective” report on February 13th
2017, focusing on spurious accounts of chemical attacks on the recently
liberated city of Aleppo. This familiar HRW propaganda piece recycled a
previous report from April 2015 detailing an alleged chlorine gas attack
in Sarmin, Idlib [4].

Footage of the aftermath of this attack was provided, at the time, by
none other than the White Helmets, which brings us to the macabre video,
uploaded by this alleged first responder NGO to YouTube on March 15th
2015. [5]

gas attacks, allegedly, carried out by the Syrian state against its own

intervention in Syria and the No Fly Zone, effectively a declaration of
war {end}

The “Sarmin attack” report published by HRW in April 2015 is, in itself,
a remarkable feat of evidence engineering. HRW refers to two witnesses –
anonymous “Sarmin residents” – stating they have “heard” helicopters
“shortly before the attack”. They heard them but did not see them. Both
witnesses also reported hearing “no explosions”. [4] In the entire HRW
report there is not one reported sighting of a helicopter, the existence
of which should be an essential element of the White Helmet claims,
uncritically reproduced by HRW and never questioned by the UN.

One of the key witnesses cited in the HRW, April 2015, report is a White
Helmet operative by the name of Leith Fares: [6]

“Leith Fares, a rescue worker with Syrian Civil Defence, told Human
Rights Watch. “A helicopter always drops two barrels.” “You know, we
were at first actually happy,” Fares said. “It is usually good news when
there is no explosion.” [4]

A notably peculiar factor of the White Helmet footage of this alleged
attack is that they do not film any external shots of the attack itself,
despite their declared anticipation of being targeted, having “heard”
helicopters.

Instead, the only footage is of an enclosed indoor space with no
contextual filming to evidence where they are in Syria or that an attack
has just taken place. The indoor environment certainly resembles a
makeshift hospital emergency room. White Helmet “rescuers” parade in and
out, manhandling and maneuvering the limp, lifeless bodies of three
children. The naked bodies of these children have no external, visible
injuries and do not respond when the various “medics” perform all manner
of ostensibly “life-saving” procedures, in a haphazard effort to
resuscitate these children.

II “A Macabre Scene”

In order to obtain qualified clinical opinions, I sent the video
uploaded by White Helmets to eminent Swedish medical specialists. I
stressed that, particular attention, must be paid to the Syringe needle
procedure (seemingly, intracardiac injection) carried out on one of the
children.[Click on the image for a clip from the video, showing the
syringe-needle scene]:

Dr Leif Elinder, a known Swedish medical doctor profile, author and
specialist in paediatrics, summarised the following in his reply: [7]

“After examination of the video material, I found that the measures
inflicted upon those children, some of them lifeless, are bizarre,
non-medical, non-lifesaving, and even counterproductive in terms of
life-saving purposes of children”.

Further, I received a detailed clinical statement from Dr Lena Oske, a
Swedish medical doctor and general practitioner. In her statement, Dr
Oske referred to the presumed, adrenaline injection, performed in the
White Helmet video (excerpt in the photo above). Her specialist opinion
dismisses the procedure conducted in the White Helmet video, as
unqualified and incorrect. Furthermore, she describes the earlier
assessment of the procedure by a colleague who had exclaimed:

“If not already dead, this injection would have killed the child!” [...]

III ‘White Helmets’ Associations with Nusra-Front, Al-Qaeda in Syria

It is also important to highlight that the so called *White Helmets who
have bestowed upon themselves, the title of Syria Civil Defence*, are
actually fraudulently mimicking the REAL Syria Civil Defence,
established in Syria (not in Turkey) in 1953 and the only Syria Civil
Defence officially recognised as such, by the (UN affiliated)
International Civil Defence Organisation, based in Geneva.

This UK/US shadow state building project, in Syria, has been extensively
investigated in the prominent work of independent journalist, Vanessa
Beeley. [9] The authentic Syria Civil Defence serves an estimated 80
percent of the Syrian population inside Syria that lives under the
protection of the Syrian state in Syrian government held territory.

Conversely, the *White Helmets operate exclusively in Nusra Front and
ISIS terrorist-controlled areas* and therefore would service less than
20 percent of the remaining Syrian civilian population, when one takes
into account the sheer numbers of foreign mercenaries and militants who
also occupy those areas. Added to which, these “moderate” extremist held
areas are continuously dwindling as the Syrian armed forces and their
allies inexorably reconquer the national territory of Syria and release
it from the grip of externally funded terrorism. As the terrorist
factions are pushed out of liberated areas, such as East Aleppo, we
clearly see the White Helmets depart in tandem.

Evidence of the*White Helmet affiliation to the various terrorist
faction*s is extensively documented. There are evidenced reports on one
of the more prominent White Helmet leaders, Mustafa al Haj Yussef, in
Khan Sheikhoun, Idlib where many of the East Aleppo terrorists and their
civil defence have fled. [11] These reports detail his declarations of
allegiance to various extremist factions such as Ahrar Al Sham,
responsible for many of the ethnic cleansing pogroms across Syria.
Yussef has openly called for the shelling of civilians in Damascus
during the 2014 elections. He has advocated robbery, looting and
sectarian punishments and murder under certain circumstances. Imagine a
Red Cross official calling for such reprisals, and you can understand
how extraordinary this behaviour is for an Oscar winning, “neutral,
apolitical, impartial” allegedly, humanitarian NGO.

Yusef’s affiliations and behaviour are not the exception, the majority
of White Helmet operatives have demonstrated the same ideological
allegiances to extremist, armed groups in Syria.

The UN Theatre of the Macabre

The final scene of this “drama” is the closed-door session at the UN
Security Council, where the White Helmet video we have referred to, took
centre stage at a performance by former US Ambassador to the UN,
Samantha Power.

Predictably, the shocking scenes of children’s lifeless bodies being
crudely manipulated and “arranged” combined with the theatrical and
entirely ineffectual “life-saving” interventions – as depicted by the
White Helmet movie – emotionally impacted upon the UN decision makers.
In Samantha Power’s words:

“I saw no one in the room without tears. If there was a dry eye in the
room, I didn’t see it” [12]

Unfortunately, UN officials were so distracted by the macabre
performance they had just witnessed, that they did not think to ask for
a translation of the various instructions being issued by the “medics”
in the film. A rudimentary element of any investigation process must be
to clarify context, particularly when the results have potential to
precipitate a terrifying conflict escalation between the US and Russia
on Syrian soil.

SWEDHR took the time to get the dialogue in the White Helmet movie
translated. At 1:16 the doctor in full light green and a gray & black
jumper says:

”Include in the picture (meaning in the film or the frame -translators
note) the mother should be underneath and the children on top of her,
hey! Make sure the mother is underneath.”

Perhaps, if the video had been subtitled, the UN officials might have
queried this overt staging of an event that one must assume, was
chaotic, harrowing and stressful. Perhaps, they would have found it
strange, that in the midst of a “chemical weapon” attack, one of the
medics, attempting to save the lives of three Syrian children, would be
concerned with the positioning of their bodies for the camera.

*Objective: No Fly Zone*

**

The UNSC showing of the White Helmet footage, coincided with a universal
call for a No-Fly Zone from NATO and Gulf state funded “moderate rebel”
and terrorist groups, who depend upon the White Helmets for their civil
defence. This international No-Fly-Zone campaign gathered momentum on
the back of the UNSC tears over the White Helmet video of the alleged
Sarmin chlorine gas attack, and was even supported in the Swedish media.
[13]

In a later Channel 4 report on the alleged Sarmin chlorine gas attacks,
during which they aired a brief, sanitized segment of the White Helmet
video, Samantha Power declared:

“This document that we record now will be used at some point in a court
of law, and the perpetrators of this crime need to have that in mind” [14]

In addition to calls for a No-Fly Zone and the analogous term ‘Safe
Zones’, it should not be overlooked that all of the dubious and
misrepresented media reporting emanating from the White Helmets is also
being used to justify a continuous program of crippling US-led sanctions
against Syria. According to a 2016 leaked UN internal report [15], US
and EU economic sanctions on Syria are causing ‘huge suffering among
ordinary Syrians’ and prohibiting the delivery of essential,
humanitarian aid.

Conclusion

*UN representatives were moved to tears* by the spectacle presented to
them by the White Helmets. An appropriate response, to the black art
performance of the White Helmets, whose acting talents have propelled
them onto Hollywood’s red carpet. In any sane world, however, the
‘misuse’, the propaganda abuse, of the children being exploited as props
in a war that will inevitably kill more children, should also qualify
the White Helmets for due process in a court of law and condemn their
sponsors to prosecution in the European Court of Human Rights.

As for war-hawk, Samantha Power’s threats, echoed by her puppet human
rights organisations, controlled by western corporate elites, I would
like to mention that the war in Syria started when the US and NATO
states, in unholy alliance with Gulf State tyrannies, funded, trained
and armed the “moderate” extremist forces which have since invaded and
terrorized the Syrian state and its people, who have steadfastly stood
with their elected government against the tide of regime change
propaganda and proxy military intervention.

In the final judgement, when the international court for war crimes puts
the immoral warmongers on trial, they will be condemned and found guilty
of abhorrent crimes against Humanity by all the decent people of this world.

*(2) White Helmets Movie: Updated Evidence From Swedish Doctors Confirm
Fake ‘Lifesaving’ and Malpractices on Children*

http://theindicter.com/white-helmets-movie-updated-evidence-from-swedish-doctors-confirm-fake-lifesaving-and-malpractices-on-children/

by The Indicter |posted in: March 2017 issue

By Prof Marcello Ferrada de Noli,

Chairman, Swedish Doctors for Human Rights – SWEDHR.

I Summary. This article reports updated findings I obtained in a further
examination of videos published by the White Helmets, and which aimed to
represent consequences of an alleged gas attack in Sarmine in March 2015
[See my first report of March 6, 2017]. [1] The videos depict a medical
rescuing scenario focused on ‘lifesaving’ procedures on children.

The new findings, which have also been confirmed in second-opinions
issued by MD specialists and members of Swedish Doctors for Human Rights
(SWEDHR) on March 12, 2017, a) demonstrate that the main highlighted
‘life-saving‘ procedure on the infant shown in the second video of the
sequence was faked. Namely, no substance (e.g. adrenaline) was injected
into the child while the ‘medic’ or doctor introduced the syringe-needle
in a simulated intracardiac-injection manoeuvre [See video below with
the findings’ synopsis]; b) may bring support to the hypothesis
mentioned by doctors in the previous report, referring that the child in
question, “if not already dead, might have died because the injection
procedure”.

The three children subjected to ‘life-saving’ procedures in the second
video were eventually dead, and the cause of death –that according to
the White helmets video would be attributed to chlorine gas– has been
disputed by other medical opinions independently of the assessments by
the Swedish doctors mentioned in the SWEDHR reports. For instance, in
the opinion of a UK doctor, the health-status in reference to the above
mentioned child could be instead attributed to drug overdose, likely
opiates.

The findings in these reports raise serious questions about the ethical
integrity of the organization White Helmets, on the anti-medical
procedures they advertise in its videos, and the war-criminal behaviour
represented by the misuse of dead children with propaganda aims.

Synopsis of the findings, in video upload in You Tube by The Indicter
Channel, March 12.

II The White Helmets videos

The White Helmets videos analysed here are two consecutive uploadings
done on March 16, 2017 by the “Syrian Civil Defense in Idlib Province”
(a description given by White Helmets to themselves) [2] which will be
here referred to as respectively “WH Vid-1≤, and “WH Vid-2”. [3] [4] The
production of the videos served the immediate purpose by White Helmets
and the “moderate rebels” of promoting “their” campaign for a No-Fly
Zone in Syria. In fact, the campaign has its origins in Hillary
Clinton’s doctrine, as showed in a video upload by The Indicter Channel’
here. [5]

At the time, *Senator McCain, the White Helmets, al-Nusra Front and
other CIA-backed jihadist organizations were intensively campaigning for
a No-Fly Zone* in Syria. The videos aimed to represent the effects of an
alleged gas attack in Sarmin, and imputed to the Syrian government. No
evidence was ever produced regarding the attacks, beside two “anonymous”
witnesses that claimed they had heard a helicopter (“heard”; not “seen”
the helicopter). One of the anonymous sources turned out to be a White
Helmets personnel [1].

The *‘save-rescuing’ videos,* whose content was never analyzed or
verified, were thereafter *shown at the UN Security Council *April 16,
2015. After that meeting, US Ambassador Samantha Powers declared, “I saw
no one in the room without tears. If there was a dry eye in the room, I
didn’t see it”. [6] Reuters reported the event [Box embedded in image
below].

Ensuing, just four days after, on April 20, 2015, CNN broadcasted a
news-program reproducing segments taken from exactly the same videos and
propagated for the No-Fly Zone on behalf of “the Syrian doctors”
campaigning. The newscast was published by CNN in YouTube on April 20,
2015. [7] The CNN anchor presented the ‘Syrian doctor’ “who has
campaigned around the world for a no-fly zone” [Hear it in the MP3 audio
here below]:

A striking, as well as politically relevant fact relating to these
videos that were showed at the UN Security Council –and thereafter
reproduced by CNN– is that such videos had been *simultaneously
published in YouTube, on the same day* 16 of March 2015, *by an
organization showing a logo with the jihadist Shahada flag used by
Al-Qaeda*. According to communications I have received from European
journalists with contacts inside Syria – the origins of “Coordinating
Sarmin” (??????? ?????) –organization behind the propaganda videos
posted by, and in apparent coordination, them and the White Helmets– is
to be found in earlier al-Qaeda formations. The flags and symbols showed
in the image sequence below may offer proof to such communications.

The reproduction of those al-Qaeda / White Helmets footage by CNN,
camouflaged as “normal news”, is a fact that should be investigated
together with the deceiving content in such footage. A clearer
illustration of ‘fake news’ around the disinformation on the Syrian
conflict is hard to find.

It is remarkable that no UN official, no CNN journalist, etc., ever
reflected on the veracity or authenticity of the enacted ‘saving-lives’
scenes in the video. For instance, and to the best of my knowledge, this
is the first time that an analysis of the syringe episode is conducted
in the terms I describe here below.

The result of this observation, later supported by two Swedish doctors
–one GP and a pediatrician– demonstrates that the syringe’s content was
never pumped into the needle injected in the infant’s chest. An
alternative explanation, equally bizarre, is that the child was injected
with the needle connected to an empty syringe-barrel.

III The frame-analysis of the White Helmets video WH Vid-2

Procedure:

Between March 9 and March 10 I studied the video by running it in slow
motion.

After I selected the segment, I studied the sequence frame by frame. I
took screenshots of the relevant frames in sequence, which also
indicated the position on the video in order to allow visualization of
the full sequence.

On March 11, I made a 27% slow-motion video sequence, and I sent
thereafter the link with the material to the same doctors, colleagues at
SWEDHR, which have examined the first material [published in The
Indicter on March 6], Dr Leif Elinder and Dr Lena Oske. The video
featured the full syringe-episode.

On March 12, I received the feedback of my colleagues, statements which
are attached in Section IV below. Furthermore, Dr Martin Gelin –also a
senior member of SWEDHR– made post-observations about the laryngoscope
positioned on the child’s left wrist/hand.

The same day I summarized the results and published a synopsis of the
findings via The Indicter Channel. [12]

V Conclusion

‘Lifesaving’ procedures on the children showed in the White Helmets
videos were found to be fake, and ultimately performed on dead children.

The syringe used in the ‘intracardial injection’ performed on the male
infant was empty, or its fluid was never injected into the child.

This same child showed, briefly, discrete life-signs (uncertain in my
judgement) in the first segment of WH Vid-1. If so, this child might
have died during the lapse in which the ‘lifesaving’ manoeuvres showed
in the White Helmets movie went on. (Which is not the same than
affirming that the personnel seen in the videos caused the dead of the
infant. In forensic terms, the actual cause of death, as well as the
mode and the issue of intent, refer to different items than those
treated in our analysis).

External comment ref. likely diagnosis

I received a reply via email from a medical doctor in the UK. I withhold
his name and specialty (not pediatrics) in order to avoid
identification, since he expressly asked to remain anonymous, for
reasons I understand.

The UK Dr hypothesizes the following:

“I think that even from the very brief video, we can see that this child
has a reduced level of consciousness: he does not vocalize, does not
open his eyes, and his only movements are to turn his head to one side
and to open his mouth before he stops breathing altogether. This looks
like respiratory depression, rather than injury to the lungs; he appears
to be too sleepy to breathe.I think the most likely diagnosis is a drug
overdose causing reduced level of consciousness and respiratory
depression.Opiates are the most likely class of drug to cause this.
Chlorine causes acute inhalation injury, but does not (in any of the
sources I have read) cause reduced level of consciousness: the victim
struggles to breathe until the end.” [16]

Putin Responds: Syria Strikes "Cripple US-Russia Relations"; Deploys
Cruise Missile Frigate To Syria

by Tyler Durden

Apr 7, 2017 6:12 AM

Responding to Trump's unexpected military attack on Syria in which 59
cruise missiles were launched (of which only 23 allegedly hit their
target), Russian President Vladimir Putin "regards the strikes as
aggression against a sovereign nation,” his spokesman Dmitry Peskov
said, noting that the president believes the strikes were carried out
“in violation of international law, and also under an invented pretext.”

The Kremlin spokesman insisted that “the Syrian army doesn’t have
chemical weapons,” saying this had been “observed and confirmed by the
Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, a special UN
unit.” [...]

Other Russians took the opportunity to opine as well, led by Russian
foreign minister Sergey Lavrov who said the US missile attack on a
Syrian airbase is an act of aggression under a far-fetched pretext and
is *reminiscent of the 2003 invasion of Iraq*.

Quoted by Tass, the top Russian diplomat said "It is an act of
aggression under a completely far-fetched pretext. This is reminiscent
of the situation in 2003, when the US and the UK, along with some of
their allies, invaded Iraq without the consent of the UN Security
Council and in violation of international law."

"When speaking about the military intervention in Iraq many years after
it happened, Tony Blair (who served as the Prime Minister of the United
Kingdom from 1997 to 2007) acknowledged that they had misled everybody,"
Lavrov emphasized. "Now *they did not even bother to provide any facts
referring only to photos*," he noted. "They indulged in speculations on
children’s photos, on evidence provided by various non-governmental
organizations, including the so-called *White Helmets, which staged
various 'incidents' to instigate action against the Syrian government*."
[...]
