White Helmets Whitewash: founder's death, OPCW scandal lift mask on al-Qaeda's ally in Syria

Le Mesurier committed suicide by jumping from a second-story balcony? How many people do you know committed suicide jumping off a second-story balcony? None

[@Acknaar]

The only way you could die from that fall is a head-on swan dive . Otherwise it's a few broken bones .

[@rodgerasai]

Well, the first suicide story was already taken so they had to go with the second one. According to the OPCW (who managed to reach their findings two days before the actual suicide) - there are 5 versions of the suicide so that equates to a fall from a 10th story balcony.

nice video. I remember listening to Robert Fiske talk about his experience of the "chemical attack". Fiske arrived there day after the alleged attack and interviewed people on the ground. The locals said there was a dust storm and people went into the underground. And people were caught up in the dust, hence the footage of kids needing their faces and eyes being washed out. Fiske also wrote about his findings for the Independent in London. Definitely recommend reading

I listened and/or watched Democracy Now! for years, donating monthly. When Amy and Juan went on speaking or book selling tours, I attended their events in the San Francisco Bay Area, meeting them more than a few times. Then, they bought the RussiaGate line, and then they embraced the White Helmets, and then they...lost me as a donor, a listener and a watcher. It was the show on which I first saw Aaron and the last one to feature Pete Seeger, before his death. I miss the good old days, before they collectively lost their mind.
