To 'fake news' or not to 'fake news', that is the question.
This article may as well be a propaganda piece for the gulf states.

The whole entire world is so full of crap, just like this article.
Does non-biased investigative journalism exist or are we to be subjected to opinion as facts?
Has the author even been in Syria during the war?

Getting Real News From Aleppo - With Vanessa Beeley
http://youtu.be/mgnTskvdYi0

Hi AC,

Thanks for these links. From the first one: so the White Helmets are the creatures of "the NATO dirty war on Syria that began in earnest, in 2011." ? And of "US Coalition terrorist entities" ? And of George Soros ? The REAL Syrian Civil Defence is operating in Tartuss, Syria's main port, where the Russians are based.

So the real enemies are the US, Turkey (or has that changed ?), NATO, the Jews of course, and their links with ISIS ? The only real allies of the Syrian people are, apart from the Syrian government ...... the Russians ? Maybe the Iranians too ?

Sometimes I can't tell anymore whether some crack-pot site is extreme 'Left' or extreme Right.

A laugh a minute ....

Any who are not prepared to stay, & fight to protect their homeland & people, are not worth giving the time of day, & certainly not worth listening to.

Great Post AC I get quite angry at our pathetic "news" organisations.

As for the author I almost though he has got it in his first few paragraph but then it fell away. He shifts back into only white people can be racist, all the worlds problems are caused by racist white people.

The Author needs to dig deep and face up to the fact that his country of birth is a toilet because of the cultural, religious and racial views of its inhabitants. Stop blaming White people for everything and take some responsibility.

The ware in Syria is a civil war we shouldn't be involved at all except for the fact its a great training ground for Islamist terrorist.

'These events that are all crisis situations of life-and-death faced by millions of people in developing countries due to wars, climate change and poverty driven by actions of global capitalism are worth grabbing world media attention more than the glamour and profit-laden escapades of the western political and cultural titans.'

Yeah Bashir nothing to do with men folowing the teachings of Mohammed. Good to see you have thrown the marxist gw scam in there as a cause for Islamist to rape, behead while yelling out climate change instead of yelling out to allah.

Was this an article or a stand-up comedy routine?

'These men and women [of the White Helmets] sacrifice their lives to rescue others’ lives in the war zones of Syria. They are the first respondents who rush to the scene of a bombardment as soon as they hear the explosion and even before the dust and smoke can settle down. You will find them among the rubble and the ruins as soon as bombs are dropped.'

Ah ... no. They are operating from a studio backlot in Hollywood or maybe a film studio in downtown Riyadh. For all the fantastic 'first response' rescue work they did in East Allepo, liberated civilians, when questioned, had never heard of them.

Considering all the dangerous chaos of the environment they are working in, it's quite a feat to create such an artistic staging of their rescues. Perfect lighting. Handsome men. The dusty children they photogenically embrace in their heroic arms look about as traumatised as a tickled puppy.

Their opaquely generous benevolent fund of a hundred million dollars is about the average budget for blockbuster sci-fi. At least, when we watch a sci-fi blockbuster, we know that it's fiction.
