The self-proclaimed NGO is allegedly working on another false-flag chemical attack in Syria
The White Helmets, a self-proclaimed civil defense group established a decade ago in Syria during the height of the civil war, is back in the spotlight, after the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service accused it this week of preparing to stage another chemical weapons attack.
RT’s Saskia Taylor examines the group’s questionable origins, which were generously funded by Western governments and praised by Western media. She explores the group’s uncomfortable ties to jihadist forces, and extensive evidence suggesting that at least some of its media content was fabricated.
This is the story of how an Oscar-winning NGO is linked to the alleged cover-up of a false-flag operation by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.
