Jeffrey Epstein (exploitant kindermisbruik netwerk) ‘overleden aan suïcide’

Posted on by Telmo Claro
Gisteren maakten autoriteiten bekend dat Jeffrey Epstein zichzelf inderdaad heeft gesuïcideerd. (een te verwachten reactie)

Caitlin Johnstone stelt in een artikel met de kop ‘Jeffrey Epstein overlijdt aan ‘suïcide”, dat Epstein, de organisator en exploitant van een kindermisbruiknetwerk, werd gesuïcideerd….. Waarmee ze overigens ontkent dat eerdere beweringen over Epstein kloppen, beweringen waarin men stelt dat hij nooit de rechtbank mocht bereiken, eenvoudig daar er te veel hooggeplaatste en/of machtige figuren waren verbonden met dit misbruiknetwerk, figuren als Donald Trump en Bill Clinton……… Johnstone stelt dat deze zaak nooit de echt machtigen zou hebben getroffen, daar ‘het moeras het moeras beschermt…’

Voorts komt Johnstone terug op hardnekkige geruchten dat Epstein een band zou hebben met de moorddadige Israëlische geheime dienst Mossad….. Mossad zou gegevens hebben ontvangen van Epstein waarmee men politici zou kunnen chanteren die seksuele contacten hadden met kinderen…. Een verhaal dat zo maar zou kunnen kloppen, gezien de geschiedenis van deze geheime dienst, waarbij deze zaak nog maar klein grut is………
Epstein werd ‘gesuïcideerd’ terwijl hij onder intensief suïcide toezicht stond, een toezicht dat volgens Johnstone maar de vraag is, daar enkelen dat ontkennen……. Echter het zou zonder meer een schande zijn als dit niet het geval was, zeker na alle ophef op de eerste suïcide poging…… Ofwel wat mij betreft is het duidelijk dat Epstein werd vermoord, zelfs al zou hij de hand aan zichzelf hebben geslagen, immers suïcide zou na het eerdere incident onmogelijk moeten zijn geweest, een incident waarover de autoriteiten stelden dat Epstein een suïcide poging zou hebben begaan…… Ingewijden stellen daarover dat hij verwondingen had die hij onmogelijk bij zichzelf zou hebben kunnen aangebracht, kortom na dat ‘incident’ zou een ‘tweede suïcidepoging’ onmogelijk moeten zijn geweest…….

De consequentie van deze moord uh ‘suïcidepoging’ voor de gevangenis waar dit gebeurde: 3 schorsingen, tijdens het lopende onderzoek…… Gegarandeerd dat uit onderzoek zal blijken dat gevangenispersoneel niets te verwijten valt, of de zaak zou tot nog veel meer maatschappelijke ophef moeten leiden, in dat geval zouden de 3 personeelsleden (inclusief de directeur) wellicht op straat worden geschopt……….

Jeffrey Epstein Dies Of “Suicide”

Disappointing everyone yet surprising no one, accused sex trafficker and alleged billionaire Jeffrey Epstein has “committed” “suicide”. Details are muddled and conflicting, with CNN reporting that Epstein “was taken from New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center at 3:30 a.m. Saturday in cardiac arrest and died at an area hospital” and the New York Times reporting that “Mr. Epstein hung himself and his body was found this morning at roughly 7:30.”
Some reports claim that Epstein has been on suicide watch due to a prior alleged suicide attempt three weeks ago when he was found unconscious with bruising on his neck, others deny it. If he wasn’t it’s weird because he obviously should have been, and if he was it’s weird because it failed. Prisons vary greatly in how they implement suicide watch protocol, but at bare minimum it should mean that unsafe objects have been removed from the prisoner’s cell and monitoring has been greatly increased. Stockton University criminal justice professor Christine Tartaro told CNN in an interview on the subject in 2017 that on suicide watch “there should be constant, one-on-one eyes on (suicidal) inmates.”

Following Epstein’s arrest last month on federal sex trafficking charges, many people predicted that exactly this would happen, some half-jokingly and some not. This is because, as Whitney Webb of Mint Press News documented in a recent article titled “Mega Group, Maxwells and Mossad: The Spy Story at the Heart of the Jeffrey Epstein Scandal”, Epstein appears to have been involved in a complex Mossad-tied sexual blackmail operation and had close ties with many powerful people, including Donald Trump and the Clintons. The narrative that the Clintons have a penchant for “suiciding” their enemies was already a viral idea in right-wing conspiracy circles, and many of the early prognostications of Epstein’s fate came from that side of the political aisle.
But those voicing skepticism about Epstein’s death today come from all across the political spectrum, from left to right and from fringe to mainstream.
“People close to Epstein fear he was murdered… as Epstein told authorities someone tried to kill him in a previous incident weeks earlier. He was described as being in good spirits in recent days,” claims The Washington Post‘s Carol Leonnig.
Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, various billionaire wall st. goons, hollywood elites and royal family creeps breathe a sigh of relief. He happens to have dirt on every powerful scumbag alive, how mighty convenient!” tweeted Secular Talk‘s Kyle Kulinski.
“If Epstein’s death is still under investigation, and no one can explain yet how he killed himself, why is mainstream media reporting it definitively as a suicide? Even the FBI is calling it an ‘apparent suicide’,” tweeted journalist Max Blumenthal.
“How was Epstein not on the most intensive suicide watch protocol available???” tweeted journalist Michael Tracey.
“Scandalous. I supervised jail suicide investigations at DOJ. Experts will tell you that it’s essentially always true that jail inmate suicides are preventable, so when one happens it represents a majorfailure on the part of the jail,” tweeted human rights lawyer Sam Bagenstos.
“Something about this whole situation stinks,” legal analyst Rikki Klieman told CBS today. “What you have is someone who attempted suicide and now is on a suicide watch, and in the midst of the suicide watch manages to commit suicide? There are gonna be heads that will roll from the Bureau of Prisons looking at the [Metropolitan Correctional Center], because this is the type of situation where you do not know if it’s a suicide or you do not know if it is something else.”
“A guy who had information that would have destroyed rich and powerful men’s lives ends up dead in his jail cell. How predictably…Russian”.
— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) August 10, 2019
Others, of course, have been bleating about Russia for no reason.
“A guy who had information that would have destroyed rich and powerful men’s lives ends up dead in his jail cell. How predictably…Russian,” tweeted MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough to thousands of retweets and tens of thousands of likes.
This story is nuts. I personally am on record disagreeing with those on both sides of the aisle who’ve been claiming that the Epstein scandal was going to lead to mass arrests of extremely powerful people in Washington, because the swamp protects itself. We see that today clearer than ever. Whatever happened in that prison cell today, it made some nasty swamp monsters very happy.

“Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide ends the criminal case against him because no one else was charged in the indictment,” tweeted former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti, adding, “Epstein’s death means that there won’t be a public trial or other proceedings that could reveal evidence of his wrongdoing. Evidence collected via grand jury subpoena won’t be released to the public.”

De film over de pro-Israëlische lobby in de VS, die Israël verboden wil zien………

Posted on by Telmo Claro

THE ELECTRONIC INTIFADA (EI) heeft de 4 delen van ‘The Lobby – USA’ op haar site gezet. In de film is te zien hoe sterk de Israël lobby is in de VS en hoe ongelofelijk smerig dit geteisem handelt. Middels lastercampagnes, spionage en intimidatie van burgers die zich voor Palestijnse rechten uitspreken en die Israël vanwege haar ongebreidelde terreur bekritiseren, probeert men hen de mond te snoeren door hen af te schilderen als antisemieten…….

Ofwel op grond van kritiek op de fascistische apartheidsstaat Israël, wil men critici afschilderen als antisemieten, lullig genoeg lukt dit in de meeste gevallen, al is het met behulp van de westerse reguliere media en het grootste deel van de westerse politici…… Let wel: dat hele label ‘antisemitisch’ is vooral belachelijk als men dit Palestijnen en andere arabieren aanwrijft, daar ook zij semieten zijn!!

Een ‘mooi voorbeeld’ van een lastercampagne is die tegen Jeremy Corbyn de Labour leider, hij wordt al anderhalf jaar lang voor antisemiet uitgemaakt, met hulp van o.a. ‘onafhankelijk zendgemachtigde’ BBC, dit ondanks de band die Corbyn heeft met Joden die kritisch zijn op Israël, zoals de band met onze inmiddels overleden Hajo Meijer, NB een Holocaust overlever, die werkte voor Een Ander Joods Geluid……. In de Britse dagbladen is eveneens amper of geen weerwoord te vinden, Corbyn moet en zal de volgende verkiezingen verliezen, daar zetten zich zelfs collega’s van Corbyn voor in, verraders als opperschoft Tony Blair………

 Ook in ons land zijn pro-Israëlische zionisten fanatiek bezig tegen mensen die kritiek hebben op het moorddadige beleid van Israël, o.a. Stan van Houcke is sinds kort het doelwit van zionisten ofwel fascisten als Leon de Winter…….
Voor het artikel van Durden heb ik zelf de video’s overgenomen van YouTube (die van het originele artikel kan ik niet overnemen), ik geef ze i.t.t. tot het artikel op Zero Hedge wel alle 4 weer, plus nog een video, met de titel: ‘Evidence the Israel Lobby Control the US Government’. Mensen lees en verwonder je hoe machtig de pro-Israël lobby in feite is, verwondering ook hoe men dergelijke haatcampagnes kan voeren en het gore lef heeft mensen die opkomen voor de rechten van Palestijnen, als antisemitisch weg te zetten……
Lees, zie en geeft het door, tijd dat de ogen van de wereldbevolking opengaan en dat Israël wordt aangepakt voor de vreselijke terreur die het in haar illegaal gestichte staat en op de West Bank en de Gazastrook uitoefent, inclusief een enorm aantal massamoorden, niet alleen vlak voor en na de illegale stichting van Israël, maar tot op de dag van vandaag…
Israëlische leiders als Netanyahu en Lieberman hadden in Scheveningen al jaren hun levenslange gevangenisstraf moeten uitzitten, en dat beste bezoeker, heeft totaal niets met antisemitisme te maken, maar alles met gerechtigheid voor de gepleegde oorlogsmisdaden als massamoord en bijvoorbeeld het opsluiten en martelen van Palestijnse mensen en zelfs hun kinderen…….

Voorts zouden deze leiders terecht moeten staan voor zaken als het onthouden van water aan de Palestijnen, dit door vernieling van de bronnen (in de Gazastrook) en afdammingen in de Jordaan, t.b.v. de illegale Israëlische nederzettingen op de West Bank, waar Israël zich overigens totaal illegaal als bezettingsmacht bevindt, zoals nazi-Duitsland zich illegaal in ons land ophield van mei 1940 tot mei 1945
De 4 docu-films in het artikel hieronder werden door Al Jazeera gemaakt, echter deze mochten niet worden uitgezonden van Qatar, dit onder druk van Israël, Saoedi-Arabië en de VS……. De feiten in de documentaire werden o.a. verkregen door infiltratie >> een journalist gaf zich uit als een pro-Israëlische vrijwilliger in Washington.

Over censuur gesproken: ook Facebook doet mee aan pro-Israëlische lobby en het platform heeft al honderden accounts van Palestijnen verwijderd…….

En je weet het: als men een documentaire wil verbieden wil men zaken verborgen houden, ofwel Israël geeft in feite toe dat het een barbaars, inhumaan beleid voert t.a.v. de Palestijnen……. Dit alles (met nog een herhaling: het kan niet genoeg gezegd worden) in een illegaal gestichte staat op het grondgebied van die Palestijnen, dat te boek zou moeten staan als Palestina en niet als Israël!

Watch the film the Israel lobby didn’t want you to see

The Electronic Intifada 2 November 2018
Update: On 6 November, The Electronic Intifada published the final two episodes of The Lobby – USA. You can watch episodes three and four here.
The Electronic Intifada has obtained a complete copy of The Lobby – USA, a four-part undercover investigation by Al Jazeera into Israel’s covert influence campaign in the United States.
We are releasing the leaked film simultaneously with France’s Orient XXI and Lebanon’s Al-Akhbar, which have respectively subtitled the episodes in French and Arabic.
The film was made by Al Jazeera during 2016 and was completed in October 2017.
But it was censored after Qatar, the gas-rich Gulf emirate that funds Al Jazeera, came under intense Israel lobby pressure not to air the film.
Although Al Jazeera’s director-general claimed last month that there were outstanding legal issues with the film, his assertions have been flatly contradicted by his own journalists.
In March, The Electronic Intifada was the first to report on any of the film’s specific content. We followed this in August by publishing the first extract of the film, and shortly after Max Blumenthal at the Grayzone Projectreleased others.
Since then, The Electronic Intifada has released three other extracts, and several other journalists have watched the entire film and written about it – including Alain Gresh and Antony Loewenstein.
Now The Electronic Intifada can reveal for the first time that it has obtained all four parts of the film.

You can watch the first two parts in the video embeds above and below. (deel 3 en 4 onder dit artikel van EI)
To get unprecedented access to the Israel lobby’s inner workings, undercover reporter “Tony” posed as a pro-Israel volunteer in Washington.
The resulting film exposes the efforts of Israel and its lobbyists to spy on, smear and intimidate US citizens who support Palestinian human rights, especially BDS – the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement.
It shows that Israel’s semi-covert black-ops government agency, the Ministry of Strategic Affairs, is operating this effort in collusion with an extensive network of US-based organizations.

Censored by Qatar


The film was suppressed after the government of Qatar came under intense pressure not to release it – ironically from the very same lobby whose influence and antics the film exposes.
Clayton Swisher, Al Jazeera’s head of investigations, revealed in an article for The Forward in March that Al Jazeera had sent more than 70 letters to individuals and organizations who appear in or are discussed in the film, providing them with an opportunity to respond.
Only three did so. Instead, pro-Israel groups have endeavored to suppress the film that exposes the lobby’s activities.
In April, Al Jazeera’s management was forced to deny a claim by the hard-right Zionist Organization of America that the film had been canceled altogether.
In June, The Electronic Intifada learned that a high level source in Doha had said the film’s indefinite delay was due to “national security” concerns of the Qatari government.

Covert action


Reifkind – then an Israeli embassy employee – describing her typical work day as “mainly gathering intel, reporting back to Israel … to report back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Strategic Affairs.”
She discusses the Israeli government “giving our support” to front groups “in that behind-the-scenes way.”
Reifkind also admits to using fake Facebook profiles to infiltrate the circles of Palestine solidarity activists on campus.
The film also reveals that US-based groups coordinate their efforts directly with the Israeli government, particularly its Ministry of Strategic Affairs.
Run by a former military intelligence officer, the ministry is in charge of Israel’s global campaign of covert sabotage targeting the BDS movement.
The film shows footage of the very same ex-military intelligence officer, Sima Vaknin-Gil, claiming to have mapped Palestinian rights activism “globally. Not just the United States, not just campuses, but campuses and intersectionality and labor unions and churches.”
She promises to use this data for “offense activity” against Palestine activists.
Jacob Baime, executive director of the Israel on Campus Coalition, claims in the undercover footage that his organization uses “corporate level, enterprise-grade social media intelligence software” to gather lists of Palestine-related student events on campus, “generally within about 30 seconds or less” of them being posted online.
Baime also admits on hidden camera that his group “coordinates” with the Israeli Ministry of Strategic Affairs.
Baime states that his researchers “issue early warning alerts to our partners” – including Israeli ministries.
Baime’s colleague Ian Hersh admits in the film to adding Israel’s “Ministry of Strategic Affairs to our operations and intelligence brief.”

“Psychological warfare”


Baime describes how his group has used anonymous websites to target activists.
“With the anti-Israel people, what’s most effective, what we’ve found at least in the last year, is you do the opposition research, put up some anonymous website, and then put up targeted Facebook ads,” Baime explains in part three of the film.
“Canary Mission is a good example,” he states. “It’s psychological warfare.”
The film names, for the first time, convicted tax evader Adam Milstein as the multimillionaire funder and mastermind of Canary Mission – an anonymous smear site targeting student activists.
The Electronic Intifada revealed this in a clip in August.
Eric Gallagher, then fundraising director for The Israel Project, is seen in the undercover footage admitting that “Adam Milstein, he’s the guy who funds” Canary Mission.
Milstein also funds The Israel Project, Gallagher states.
Gallagher says that when he was working for AIPAC, Washington’s most powerful Israel lobby group, “I was literally emailing back and forth with [Adam Milstein] while he was in jail.”
Despite not replying to Al Jazeera’s request for comment, Milstein denied that he and his family foundation “are funders of Canary Mission” on the same day The Electronic Intifada published the clip.
Since then, Josh Nathan-Kazis of The Forward has identified several other groups in the US who fund Canary Mission.

Suppressed film


In March, The Electronic Intifada published the first details of what is in the film.
We reported that it showed Sima Vaknin-Gil claiming to have leading neoconservative think tank the Foundation for Defense of Democracies working for her ministry.
The undercover footage shows Vaknin-Gil claiming that “We have FDD. We have others working on” projects including “data gathering, information analysis, working on activist organizations, money trail. This is something that only a country, with its resources, can do the best.”
As noted in part one of the documentary, the existence of the film and the identity of the undercover reporter became known after footage he had shot for it was used in Al Jazeera’s The Lobby – about Israel’s covert influence campaign in the UK – aired in early 2017.
Since then, Israel lobbyists have heavily pressured Qatar to prevent the US film from airing.

“Foreign agent”


Clayton Swisher, Al Jazeera’s head of investigations, first confirmed in October 2017 that the network had run an undercover reporter in the US Israel lobby at the same time as in the UK.
Swisher promised the film would be released “very soon,” but it never came out.
Multiple Israel lobby sources told Israel’s Haaretz newspaper in February that they had received assurances from Qatari leaders late last year that the documentary would not be aired.
Qatar denied this, but the paper stood by its story.
Swisher’s op-ed in The Forward was his first public comment on the matter since he had announced the documentary.
In it, he refutes Israel lobby allegations about the film and expresses frustration that Al Jazeera had not aired it, apparently due to outside pressure.
Several pro-Israel lawmakers in Washington have piled on more pressure by pushing the
Department of Justice to force Al Jazeera to register as a “foreign agent” under a counterespionage law dating from the 1930s.

The Israel lobby goes to Doha


While the film was delayed, a wave of prominent pro-Israel figures visited Qatar at the invitation of its ruler, Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
They have included some of the most right-wing and extreme figures among Israel’s defenders in the US, such as Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz and Morton Klein, the head of the Zionist Organization of America.
Swisher wrote in The Forward that he ran into Dershowitz at a Doha restaurant during one of these visits, and invited the professor to a private viewing of the film.
“I have no problem with any of the secret filming,” Swisher says Dershowitz told him afterwards.
“And I can even see this being broadcast on PBS” – the US public broadcaster.
Yet it appears that Israel lobby efforts to quash the film were successful – until now.

Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) laat weten hoe White Helmets vips rekruteren met Saoedisch geld….

Posted on by Telmo Claro

Roger Waters gebruikte een concert in Barcelona om zijn gehoor uit te leggen hoe terreurgroep White Helmets, bij het publiek bekende mensen probeert te rekruteren, zoals hem overkwam……

Sinds dat concert heeft Waters onder andere een e-mailwisseling tussen vertegenwoordigers van de White Helmets en zijn team openbaar gemaakt.
Waters werd eerder al in 2016 door een Saoedisch-Britse miljonair, Hani Farsi benaderd om mee te werken aan een fondsenwerving voor een aan de White Helmets gelieerde groep ‘The Syria Campaign’, van wie de leden hoogstwaarschijnlijk ook tot de leden van de White Helmets behoren…..
The Syrian Campaign is een dochtermaatschappij voor public relations organisatie ‘Purpose’ in de VS, een organisatie die stelt onafhankelijk te zijn, maar dat allesbehalve is, sterker nog: Purpose is bezig met een missie om westerse interventie in Syrië te uit te lokken en pleitte eerder al voor een ‘no-fly zone’ boven Syrisch grondgebied…….. Gelukkig dat er nog veel mensen zijn, die het deze organisatie onmogelijk maken om in het openbaar campagne te voeren (in de VS, een voorbeeld video in het hieronder opgenomen bericht).
De schrijver van dat artikel, geplaatst op Activist Post, John Vibes legt nog eens uit wat er mankeert aan de White Helmets, zoals het feestvieren met terreurgroepen na een overwinning, of het helpen met executies….. Ook zijn White Helmets leden in het verleden al betrapt met wapens in de hand, als waren deze terroristen op dat moment niet als White Helmets waren uitgedost……
Verder komt het op poten zetten van de White Helmets nog eens voorbij, de organisatie werd door een Britse officier in Turkije op poten gezet, met geld van Turkije, de VS en Groot-Brittannië…….
Goed dat er nog veel echte hippies als Waters zijn, mensen die zich inzetten tegen onrecht, mensenrechtenschendingen, valse propaganda om illegale oorlogen goed te lullen en die daadwerkelijk actie ondernemen tegen zaken die hier toe bijdragen (dit geldt overigens gelukkig ook voor punkers en alternativo’s die niet verzakelijkt zijn, maar hun oude idealen trouw zijn gebleven!

Pink Floyd Frontman Leaks Email Exposing How White Helmets Recruit Celebs With Saudi Money

APRIL 21, 2018
Earlier this week, The Free Thought Project reported that Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters stopped a concert in Barcelona to warn the crowd about pro-war propaganda that is coming from a group in Syria known as the White Helmets.
In the days since Waters has taken several interviews to further explain his views, the most interesting of which was with a group called the Grayzone Project, where exclusive Emails were featured, showing conversations between Waters’ team and representatives of the White Helmets.
Waters’ first encounter with the White Helmets was actually long before his April 13 concert, back in October 2016 when Saudi-British billionaire Hani Farsi invited him to a lavish fundraiser that he was holding on behalf of the White Helmet affiliated group “The Syria Campaign.”
The Syria Campaign is a subsidiary of the New York-based PR agency, Purpose, which claims to be impartial in the Syrian civil war. But as Alternet reported, they are on a mission to provoke western intervention in the region and have even openly called for a no-fly zone. The Syria Campaign works very closely with the White Helmets and likely has many of the same members.
Last year, the Syria Campaign paid actors up to $600 each to participate in a pro-White Helmet flash mob and orchestral performance at New York City’s Grand Central Station.

Despite the firm’s best efforts to fill the crowd with people at least pretending to be in favor of their message, anti-war activists still showed up to protest the event, holding up signs that read “Hands off Syria!” “This is U.S. war propaganda,” and “No U.S. bases in Syria.”
The White Helmets were founded in Turkey by a former British MI5 officer named James Le Mesurier. The group has received at least $55 million from the UK government and an additional $23 million from the U.S. government, both of whom have regime change interests in the region. According to data agency Gov Tribe, the U.S. government has given at least $339.6 million in foreign aid to groups attempting to bring about a “transition” in Syria.
The “transition” that the White Helmets and affiliated groups are hoping to bring in Syria is far from peaceful and well-intentioned. Members of the WH have been filmed and photographed standing and celebrating with Al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorists after battles, helping to conduct public executions, and they were even caught carrying around headless bodies.
The Syria Campaign has attempted to cover up these atrocities by dismissing video evidence as “Russian propaganda,” a familiar excuse that has been parroted by government representatives in the U.S. and the UK.
The event that Waters was invited to in 2016 was officially sponsored by one of Farsi’s holding companies, called the Corniche Group.
According to the company’s website,

For the past fifty years, the Farsi family has been active in Europe and the Middle East in urban planning, real estate, property development, the arts, and philanthropy. Led by Hani Farsi, the son of visionary civic leader and philanthropist Mohammed Said Farsi who is credited with shaping modern Saudi Arabia into a global business power player.

The invitation that Waters received said:

I am writing to invite you and a guest to join Hani at a fundraising dinner that he is hosting on Monday 21st November on behalf of The Syria Campaign…The Asfari Foundation provided the start-up funds for The Syria Campaign and we will be joined on the evening by Sawsan Asfari…Their work with The White Helmets has helped these rescue workers attract more than $15 million in government funding and turned them into household names – narrowly missing out on the Nobel Peace Prize this year.

Waters said he did his research and was suspicious of the motives that these interests had, so he never responded and avoided getting involved in those efforts. Instead, Waters did his own research on what was going on in Syria and used his platform to speak out against U.S. intervention.
Unfortunately, a handful of other celebrities did take the bait and signed on to publicly support the White Helmets and the Syria Campaign. These names include George Clooney, Ben Affleck, Daniel Craig, Justin Timberlake, Aziz Ansari and Zoe Saldana.
“I was quite suspicious after I was invited to that [White Helmets] dinner. And now my worst suspicions have been confirmed,” Waters told the Grayzone Project. “I would encourage the celebrities who’ve signed to endorse the White Helmets to stop supporting them because we know what they are. I don’t blame them for having bought into 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 drops bombs and missiles illegally in Syria.”
Then just last week before his recent concert, Waters was approached yet again through e-mail, this time by a French photojournalist named Pascal Hanrion who described himself as a “militant with the Syrian White Helmets.”
The Email read:

Good afternoon, my name is Pascal Hanrion, I’m photo reporter and climber. I’m a militant with the Syrian White Helmets to denounce crimes against humanity in Syria, especially against children. Last Sunday, I made an important happening in Paris, climbing to the top of center Georges Pompidou museum. I am in Barcelona to do the same, in relation with a very powerful Syrian network. Please, could I meet Roger Water to ask to invite me few seconds on the stage tomorrow during the concert to send a message with him to the children of Syria ‘you are not forgotten!’

As I reported earlier this week, Waters did not give this man his requested time onstage but instead addressed the audience himself with a message of peace and non-intervention.
These Emails give a behind the scenes look at how pro-war PR firms attempt to harness the power of celebrity to promote political ideas that these celebrities often know very little about. These agencies are depending on busy artists or musicians to take them at their word in regards to life-and-death political issues, but luckily at least a few of them seem to be doing their research.
