Syria: 'White Helmets are Soros sponsored anti-Assad propagandists' - Vanesse Beeley by Radio Sputnik published on 2015-09-08T13:56:00Z Vanesse Beeley --- One of the largest humanitarian organizations operating in war-torn Syria - the White Helmets - has been accused of being an anti-government propaganda arm that encourages direct foreign intervention. In an article for the 21st Century Wire news service, investigative journalist and peace activist - Vanesse Beeley – says that the White Helmets use search and rescue activities as a smokescreen to demonize Syrian president Assad and help terrorists. The official website of the White Helmets says that its volunteers have already saved more than 20,000 people on all sides of the conflict, adding that the organisation is following the principles of humanity, solidarity and impartiality outlined by the International Civil Defense Organization. However, according to Beeley, the White Helmets and other NGO’s such as the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights are used to justify the West’s policy of arming and supporting the insurgency in Syria.
