1. Did the #BBC interview anyone from the REAL Syrian Civil Defence for their #MaydayRescue propaganda? Established in 1953, in #Syria - #WhiteHelmets stole equipment fm centers when they were invaded & take over by #AlQaeda etc, murdered crew members & kidnapped others.
2. When I met with operating #WhiteHelmets in Daraa & they knew I was a British journalist (like BBC) first question they asked me was ref. funding fm British Govt - could I do something to restore their wages, cut off by James Le Mesurier for 6 months.
3. This is a clear indication of the close ties between UK FCO, state media #BBC #Channel4 etc & #WhiteHelmets & armed groups/Al Qaeda - during the meeting a local extremist group leader appeared - Adham AlKrad who manufactured missiles fired on civilians & Syrian Army.
4. AlKrad was responsible for much of destruction in Daraa Al Balad & clearly in charge of #WhiteHelmets & center. He invited me to protests on Friday - when I declined he told me he would call "the #BBC or CNN directly and they would cover it"
5. The #BBC is an integral part of the UK FCO & intelligence operations in #Syria - this cover up of role of #WhiteHelmets #JamesLeMesurier in destabilising Syria is as much a damage limitation for #BBC imo. AlKrad was killed when he & other armed group leaders were targeted in..
6. ...Daraa a couple of weeks ago. To my knowledge nobody has taken responsibility but we know British special forces are operating in south #Syria. March 2020 SAS operative was airlifted out after being injured by IED explosion. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/raf-scramble-save-sas-soldier-21642140

7. On another occasion in Al Waer, Homs when covering evacuation of #AlQaeda to #Idlib, I could not understand why terrorists were smiling at me & giving the V for victory sign. Then it dawned on me - they assumed I was CNN or BBC & therefore sympathetic to their cause...
8. Some of the leaders even posed in the setting sun - one asking the fighters to take a baby fm family in the queue to put on his shoulders - while he had guns strapped to his chest - followed by pose for photographers. #BBC #CNN #Channel4 are perceived as "friends" by Al Qaeda.
