During a recent concert in Barcelona, on Friday 13th April 2018, Rogers Waters of Pink Floyd addressed the issue of the recent attack on Syria.
In his speech he slams the Nobel prize nominated White Helmet Group, calling them a fake organization that promote propaganda and terrorism. In a video posted by a YouTube channel called Hands Off Syria, the former Pink Floyd Front-man stated that listening to…
“propaganda of the White Helmets and others we would be encouraged to encourage our governments to go and start dropping bombs on people in Syria”.
During the concert Waters states that a man named Pascal wished to come on stage to make a speech to inform the crowd of the current events in Syria.
“He is one voice, I personally think he is entirely wrong, I believe the organization that he purports to represent and who he supports, the White Helmets, are a fake organization that is creating propaganda for jihadists and terrorists, that’s what I believe,” Waters said.
The White Helmets are an organisation which was born after the civil unrest in Syria began back in 2012. Although their mission appears to be saving lives and actively helping those affected by bombings and attacks, which has even seen them receive a Nobel Prize nomination, the organization seems to marred in accusations of staging events and it is no secret that they are largely funded by Western Governments.To continue with his speech, Roger Waters said,
“The White Helmets is a fake organization that exists only to create propaganda for jihadists and terrorists, that’s my belief. We have opposing beliefs. If we were to listen to the propaganda of the White Helmets and others, we would be encouraged to encourage our governments to start dropping bombs on people in Syria. This would be a mistake of monumental proportions for us as human beings.”“What we should do is go and persuade our governments not to go and drop bombs on people. And certainly not until we have done all the research that is necessary so that we would have a clear idea of what is really going on. Because we live in the world where propaganda seems to be more important than the reality of what is really going on,”
