Saving Syria’s Children Documentary Announced

Robert Stuart, who has done great work analysing the BBC’s Panorama: Saving Syria’s Children, is working on a documentary on this subject. Working with producer Victor Lewis-Smith and actor/director Keith Allen (Unlawful Killing), the hope is to raise enough money to deliver the completed film for April next year.

From their fundraising page:

Overview

Did BBC Panorama collude with ISIS and other jihadist groups in Syria to stage an atrocity?
Are the alleged “napalm” injuries real?
Why was the first report broadcast as parliament was voting on bombing Damascus?
Is the UK charity featured linked to terrorism?
Has a key witness been identified and will she go on record to blow the whistle?
What are the consequences for the BBC’s global reputation?

Is This Scene Real?

images such as this gave persuaded many that the BBC documentary “Saving Syria’s Children” does not represent real events or real injured people

  • The above sequence was broadcast on the BBC1 Ten O’clock News on Thursday 29th August 2013, just as parliament was voting on whether to bomb Syria.
  • A month later BBC Panorama broadcast Saving Syria’s Children which featured more footage (from 30:38) of these alleged victims of an incendiary attack on a school playground in Aleppo.
  • I think the BBC’s footage was faked – and I’ve amassed a mountain of evidence to support this claim.
  • I’m not alone. Hundreds of commenters on this Twitter thread agree with me – the most common comparisons are to The Walking Dead and Michael Jackson’s Thriller video.
  • Furthermore, I’ve uncovered irrefutable evidence that the BBC Panorama crew was embedded with a jihadist group during the programme’s making – a group which was at that time partners with ISIS and which the BBC elsewhere describes as “hardline Islamist”. Was BBC license fee payer revenue paid to this group?

So, what is the point? That because (for argument’s sake) the BBC made a fake video, Assad was not guilty of bombing hospitals and all the rest? Here’s a picture of East Aleppo from Russian media, no less. That’s all the evidence you need that Assad is the head of a mafia state.

While I feel the term mafia can apply to power in the world on any side of many conflicts of interests – as a protection racket; ‘do as we say and we protect you or mitigate your pain, do otherwise and you need protection from our hate and capacity to give pain and loss. I don’t see that because destruction occurred in Syria that Al-Assad intended or caused it. But he may well have been lured into reactions that were then used as the justification for bringing destruction on Syrians in attempt to overthrow a regime that was part of the club but then was excluded – as with Iraq and Libya. History is full of deceits by which to set up the target as the aggressor – and the target can be a full member of the club – but in the way of new plans and thus told… Read more »

Mark: They showed footage of Asian people rioting, “Tibetans in China rioting against brutal Chinese rule.” This was Indians again, some kind of religious dispute over a temple or mosque. I would be quite happy to be proved wrong on this, but I think it is a confusion of a number of different events relating to the Tibet riots in 2008. The whole of the Western media was plastered with lies and bullshit concerning these events, obviously orchestrated for the run-up to the Beijing Olympics and intended to ruin the event. Dozens of media outlets published all sorts of fake and doctored images. The BBC played its willing and enthusiastic part. But it was Fox News that specifically published a photo (not a video) captioned “Chinese troops parade handcuffed Tibetan prisoners in trucks, that showed Indian Police detaining a Kashmiri protester in Kashmir. Canada’s BBC equivalent, CTV, had an interview… Read more »

Mark, I think you need to be more precise in your approach, otherwise you come across as very ‘scattergun’: They showed a row of dead bodies, Middle Eastern people, “murdered by the evil butcher Assad.” This was stock footage of Iraqis killed in the invasion of 2003. It is important that anyone interested in the issue of BBC coverage of Syria is familiar with the full details of this story. What actually happened was this: On 27 May 2012, the day after an alleged ‘massacre’ by Assad in Houla, at a point when the debate about Syria and ‘what we should do’ was starting to get very hot, the BBC published a story on its website headlined “Syria massacre in Houla condemned as outrage grows”. The story was illustrated with a photo of hundreds of shrouded bodies in a warehouse. The photo was captioned “This image – which cannot be… Read more »

We are VERY lucky to have genuine journalists of the calibre of people like this to get the truth out against the barrage of lies from the BBC and their ilk.
People like Vanessa Beeley, Eva Bartlett, Lizzie Phelan, John Pilger, Max Blumenthal and others to counteract their lies.
Hence the frantic efforts to close down alternate media.

In a very similar BBC video, you can see the “gas victims” extras hanging about looking bored, waiting for their cue. Then they all suddenly start groaning in agony in unison. Nearby there is a row of “dead bodies” wrapped in sheets. One “dead” guy gets bored as he lies there and starts yawning and scratching his nose. The BBC do this all the time. Lying scumbag filth. They are always being caught out. It’s surprising they are so blatant and amateurish. You’d think they could do better with £4 billion of taxpayers money just jacked up by another five quid a year per head. They produced some footage of street demonstrations, supposedly “democracy campaigners in Moscow protesting against the tyrannical rule of Putin.” It was actually Greeks in Athens protesting about EU austerity policies. They produced footage of people celebrating in the street. “Libyans celebrating the overthrow of the… Read more »

… they showed a Ukrainian separatist fighter cruelly ‘celebrating’ the downing of MH17 by waving a child’s toy aloft. What they didn’t show, along with numerous MSM journalists from around the world who were all present and knew the context, was the journalists asking him to hold the toy up in the air so they could photograph it, followed by the man gently placing it back on the ground and making the sign of the cross as he did so. RT showed the whole footage to put the record straight. That was the event that led me to distrust everything we are told by Western media and to question their motives.

Here is a good Jimmy Dore show where he categorically proves that the famous Douma gas attack was staged…….the one with the little boy being hosed down whose image was spread all over the MSM as prof of Assad’s gassing activities. All staged, totally fake. These people (the British establishment) really are the lowest of the low. The British public are nothing more than a bunch of fucking morons, sucking it up, not caring one iota about the Nazi like, criminal, barbaric, Satanic behaviour of their media, government and armed forces. I am deeply ashamed and resentful of my citizenship to this nation

BBC news anchor Annita McVeigh rebuked Admiral West, who had expressed scepticism about the claim that Assad had used chemical weapons, saying, “We’re in an information war with Russia…” One could hardly have a clearer admission that the BBC is a propaganda organisation. https://viewsandstories.blogspot.com/2018/04/bbc-asserts-it-is-propaganda.html

I see is a deeper cognitive dissonance in that ‘information’ is considered a weapon and truth is nailed up on a post and left for dead. It used to be that if you wanted to lie, and get away with it, you had to evade,shut down or discredit anything that exposes a lack of substance and false intent. Now the mainstream idea is just make reality up and keep repeating it or referring to it. This may be because a significant section of the population is effectively mind-captured by a broad spectrum of degradation and disincentive to question or challenge – and I am including the fronting players of the leadership class. There is a view of being attacked or betrayed by a usurping intent that progressively chokes Life – but there is also the willingness to comply and conform to its dictate by taking the bait of deceits that… Read more »

Discussion should be based on reason, facts and common-sense which everyone can understand. Any mention of the subjective idea of “God” will discredit the point you are trying to make and should therefore be avoided.

The last figure available for funding the white helmets was 25 million from Gov UK alone, so it’s likely the BBC was also chipping in a few quid to help the show along. The amount of evidence has been accumulating for years exposing this theatre of the macabre; but there is a huge multi-billion propaganda initiative still going on to cement the fake narrative around stories Syria, Libya and other US FP failures [the most recent being a multi-million $ block buster “A Private War”]. With the Russian collusion narrative gone down the drain and the US looking more like a fading Empire the spooks are working harder than ever to reinvigorate the Great Game. The control of the Trancaucasian region has been central to the Western empires striving for global domination for 150 years. Now the preserve of the fading US empire. Unfortunately the money is on China to… Read more »

Our corrupt state broadcaster the BBC works hand in glove with our equally corrupt MSM both here and in America. It is about time that their “licence fee” was abolished and TV broadcasting was opened up to other parties free from the malign influences of our political class. Their banal entertainment offerings are the sugar coating on a pill named propaganda. As the following link reveals their version of “news” exposes them as untrustworthy liars.

Glad to see this project progressing, as I have followed with interest from the start, when reading a link from Vanessa Beeley’s writing. Robert deserves wide recognition and respect for his sincerity and determined efforts. It really is mindblowing that the BBC did this, even when considering all their history of distortions, lies and ommissions. It is so obviously/ badly faked that one has to wonder at the real objective -beyond the obvious war mongering. The more I learn about propaganda, the more deeply sinister it all seems. Another weekend passed for me with an awkward conversation -as if from ten or fifteen years ago- where a close relative considers themselves well informed because they read a variety of liberal establishment newspapers, then tries to verbally bully any challenge into silence. I am still the crank of the family, for insisting that the narratives of the powerful should be subject… Read more »

You can see the full BBC footage in the article linked to below. Som of the burns do look authentic. However, I see no evidence that this incendiary bomb – whatever it was – was dropped by the Syrian air force at all.

Definitely agree. Robert Stuart is part of a multi-expert panel which travel the country to present ‘Media on Trial’. While the presentations are all compelling, the evidence he has presented is probably most responsible for getting many to finally wake up and see what is going on. The images will probably leave people in utter shock and disbelief that the state broadcaster is actively complicit in mass murder, supporting terror, warmongering and mass deception of its audience. But for the sake of the Syrian people and probably our own if we are to reverse the grave risk of conflict with Russia, we should all support this. In the meantime, those BBC jounalists and researchers who’ve worked on Syria should not wait until they retire before speaking out, Have the courage to call out this fraud now. Better to come forward now and put the record straight than be charged with… Read more »

It’s an interesting point because you are right, it’s that bad. But why? It’s not obvious! I can only assume they gave the task to a bunch of young spooks to make an Action Movie but as can be seen they were inept. You’d need professional film makers to do a good job but they are far too flaky for Spooks.

I think it is a signal in the clear to anyone with eyes to see – and thus another level of psyop as ‘mind fuck’ and indeed a taunt; “come out if you dare!” If you are not already outside the range of influence or career in the mainstream of society – you soon will be if you speak! On the other hand – if evil serves a higher purpose unknowing – this could be prompting the captured or deceived mind to question its experience. So I feel there are always two ways – and the more we give ‘THEM’ the power the more overwhelmed we feel in contrast. That is also why not always to believe leaks as to the power of surveillance – for example. While sometimes high tech systems actually work – they can also suffer from garbage in; garbage out – or that reliable factor called… Read more »

What’s inexplicable and inexcusable is that if you were to show the footage to the general public with no context they would immediately say it was an amateurishly enacted and acted, fictional sci-fi type drama (and, as the article says, compare it to Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ video). But as soon as it is labelled as evidence of atrocities committed by the Syrian Government all sense flies out the window and a significant proportion of those asked would immediately ignore the obvious reality of the spectacle and voice outrage, demanding military action to punish the Syrian Government. I have acquaintances who – on the face of it – are intelligent, level-headed people but swallow everything they are told by the Govt and MSM hook, line and sinker. I know they think that I am bonkers when I try to encourage them to just open their eyes to the obvious. They refuse… Read more »

I’m afraid it’s a case of people believing what they want to believe. It is tempting to believe that such people must be weak minded, but this effect has been proven to be very strong. It can also be compounded by the effect that people tend to believe, or at least say they believe, whatever the majority of people around them seem to believe. Bring these two effects together with a well resourced international mass-media outlet, with a strong reputation, like the BBC and you have a powerful recipe for effective large scale mind control.
