"Observatoire" pas du tout indépendant, financé par le Royaume-Uni pour répandre des fausses nouvelles montrant la nécessité d'un changement de régime : diabolisation d'Assad, djihadistes transformés en rebelles, fausses attaques chimiques élaborées par casques blancs et relayées, etc.- Boris Johnson's Foreign Office admits it gave £194,769.60 to the supposedly 'independent' Syrian Human Rights Observatory. How many other 'independent' bodies in the Syrian controversy are'n't as 'independent' as they look?

-"Syrian Human Rights Observatory" Which I believe is actually a bloke in a 2 bed semi in Coventry.

- You mean the Syrian Observatory For Human Rights isn’t exactly an independent and impartial organization that objectively reports about Syria but rather a tool of the British government used to spread regime change propaganda—like we’ve been saying for years? 🤔 Imagine my shock.
- We have complained to the BBC about this point. They say this balding, middle-aged man in his semi has an assistant. This is the justification for making this tin-pot set-up sound official, an 'Observatory'.
Two swallows also probably make a summer. ;O)
- * @BBCNews uses data from the 'Syrian Human Rights Observartory', anti-government 'activists' & #TheWhiteHelmets for their "news" concerning Syria.
Result? Partial reporting, bias, one-sided #Syria coverage.
{Peter: are'n't ? Typos: the bane of Twitter immediacy.}
- Too many.
And it appears that in #Syria, organisations don't need to be very sophisticated in order to secure funding from the government.
Never mind....they'll just call us apologists & appeasers.....
- Apologists, appeasers will perhaps be the least of it Cyrus. The guns are arraigned against all manner of sub-human Russian bots, 'Putin Puppets' & gnarled old trolls like us.
Not that they are aware of just how 'Nazi' they are being in these tactics of dehumanization. Not AT ALL

- The one man band independent observatory in Coventry run by govt MI6 asset .. shameful complicity by British govt.. .old British empire habits die hard... and when the time comes they will eject him also.
- Madame May also gave £50+mill to the wildly corrupt, Marxist SAfrican regime. How kind.
- Will .@BBCNews still be relying, almost exclusively it seems, on one pro ‘regime change’ man in Coventry, producing unverifiable reports on #Syria now it’s revealed he’s on the FCO payroll we ask rhetorically? #SOHR
- 📰 And Tories are cutting & privatising Welfare state=But money is always there for War & WhiteHelmets terrorists?ASK Theresa? 📰
- It all depends on what you mean by independent.
Independent of WHAT is never specified?
Independent of critical analysis maybe.
- Here’s Johnson confirming over 30 million to the White Helmets... even Trump has seen through them admittedly harder for UK as we created them.

“Pro-Democracy Terrorism”: The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is a Propaganda Front funded by the EU

The NYT admits fraudulent Syrian human rights group is UK-based “one-man band” funded by EU and one other “European country.”
In reality, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has long ago been exposed as an absurd propaganda front operated by Rami Abdul Rahman out of his house in England’s countryside. According to a December 2011 Reuters article titled, “Coventry – an unlikely home to prominent Syria activist,” Abdul Rahman admits he is a member of the so-called “Syrian opposition” and seeks the ouster of Syrian President Bashar Al Assad:
After three short spells in prison in Syria for pro-democracy activism, Abdulrahman came to Britain in 2000 fearing a longer, fourth jail term.
“I came to Britain the day Hafez al-Assad died, and I’ll return when Bashar al-Assad goes,” Abdulrahman said, referring to Bashar’s father and predecessor Hafez, also an autocrat.
One could not fathom a more unreliable, compromised, biased source of information, yet for the past two years, his “Observatory” has served as the sole source of information for the endless torrent of propaganda emanating from the Western media. Perhaps worst of all, is that the United Nations uses this compromised, absurdly overt source of propaganda as the basis for its various reports – at least, that is what the New York Times now claims in their recent article, “A Very Busy Man Behind the Syrian Civil War’s Casualty Count.”
The NYT piece admits:
Military analysts in Washington follow its body counts of Syrian and rebel soldiers to gauge the course of the war. The United Nations and human rights organizations scour its descriptions of civilian killings for evidence in possible war crimes trials. Major news organizations, including this one, cite its casualty figures.
Yet, despite its central role in the savage civil war, the grandly named Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is virtually a one-man band. Its founder, Rami Abdul Rahman, 42, who fled Syria 13 years ago, operates out of a semidetached red-brick house on an ordinary residential street in this drab industrial city [Coventry, England].
The New York Times also for the first time reveals that Abdul Rahman’s operation is indeed funded by the European Union and a “European country” he refuses to identify:
Money from two dress shops covers his minimal needs for reporting on the conflict, along with small subsidies from the European Union and one European country that he declines to identify.

Abdelrahman leaves the Foreign and Commonwealth Office after meeting Britain’s Foreign Secretary, William Hague, in central London November 21, 2011.
Abdelrahman is not the “head” of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, he is the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, run out of his UK-based house as a one-man operation.
And while Abdul Rahman refuses to identify that “European country,” it is beyond doubt that it is the United Kingdom itself – as Abdul Rahman has direct access to the Foreign Secretary William Hague, who he has been documented meeting in person on multiple occasions at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London. The NYT in fact reveals that it was the British government that first relocated Abdul Rahman to Coventry, England after he fled Syria over a decade ago because of his anti-government activities:
When two associates were arrested in 2000, he fled the country, paying a human trafficker to smuggle him into England. The government resettled him in Coventry, where he decided he liked the slow pace.
Abdul Rahman is not a “human rights activist.” He is a paid propagandist. He is no different than the troupe of unsavory, willful liars and traitors provided refuge in Washington and London during the Iraq war and the West’s more recent debauchery in Libya, for the sole purpose of supplying Western governments with a constant din of propaganda and intentionally falsified intelligence reports designed specifically to justify the West’s hegemonic designs.
Abdul Rahman’s contemporaries include the notorious Iraqi defector Rafid al-Janabi, codename “Curveball,” who now gloats publicly that he invented accusations of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, the West’s casus belli for a 10 year war that ultimately cost over a million lives, including thousands of Western troops, and has left Iraq still to this day in shambles. There’s also the lesser known Dr. Sliman Bouchuiguir of Libya, who formed the foundation of the pro-West human rights racket in Benghazi and now openly brags in retrospect that tales of Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi’s atrocities against the Libyan people were likewise invented to give NATO its sought-after impetus to intervene militarily.
Unlike in Iraq and Libya, the West has failed categorically to sell military intervention in Syria, and even its covert war has begun to unravel as the public becomes increasingly aware that the so-called “pro-democracy rebels” the West has been arming for years are in fact sectarian extremists fighting under the banner of Al Qaeda. The charade that is the “Syrian Observatory for Human Rights” is also unraveling. It is unlikely that the New York Times’ limited hangout will convince readers that Rami Abdul Rahman is anything other than another “Curveball” helping the corporate-financier elite of Wall Street and London sell another unnecessary war to the public.

Notice the £ms given to Zambia, the native country of the UN woman who called hard working British tax payers, racist!
The British Government also pays an affiliate of Al Qaeda, the White Helmets, to fabricate chemical weapons attacks in Syria.
- Well said Peter.
It's the new con: cloaking political movements and even violent terrosist movements in a do-gooding and virtue signalling cloak.
Scary
- The very partisan White Helmets for one. Created and funded by the West. They even stole their name, from the real Syrian Civil Defence, est. 1953 in Syria by Syrians. And SAMS, 95% of whose budget comes from controversial USAID, in turn funded by the State Dept.
- That's a lot of mosquito nets or wells for thirsty starving Africans.
Foreign Aid isn't what it seems.
- Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is literally one guy in Coventry. It's logo is the "revolution" flag. Absolutely unindepedent
- I bet he's laughing all the way to the bank!
Who is behind Syrian Observatory for Human Rights? Nimrod Kamer investigates for RT
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has been the prime source for MSM-aired news from the Syrian battlefield. But how much does one truly know about this UK-based organization and its director? Journalist and prankster Nimrod Kamer went to find out.
The organization has been one of the sources for the mainstream media to build their reports on Syria since the start of the civil war four years ago. The organization claims to have a wide network of contacts in the region who feed their information to the head office, where it is processed and later posted on the website, Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Since the start of the Moscow anti-ISIS campaign Russia has started featuring in its reports as well - and it was quickly picked up by major Western media outlets. One of the latest wires from the Observatory that "Russian warplanes [killed] 30 civilians in Homs including women and children” quickly made it into major news sources.
“To the degree people choose to believe social media, they can be my guest. But quite contrary to what [US Secretary of State John Kerry] has said, it is a notoriously unreliable tool upon which to base judgments,” former CIA officer, Ray McGovern told RT.
'I am not a media organization' - Rami Abdel Rahman
RT decided to investigate who the man behind the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is and why the media outlet is so popular with MSM. Well-known journalist and prankster Nimrod Kamer took up the job.
The two-bedroom Coventry home of Syrian immigrant Rami Abdel Rahman has been the organization’s base and the source of information for major mainstream media on anything Syria-related from the past four years, including the death toll.
Nobody quite knows who Abdel Rahman has on the ground in Syria, but information just keeps flowing on and on, usually in a dramatic fashion and with little detail.
LISTEN MORE:
Kamer walked around the English city of Coventry, approaching people with questions on Abdel Rahman and how he could be located. No one seemed to have a clue they had the prime source of news from the Syrian frontline living right there in their quaint British neighborhood.
Kamer had no luck catching the director at home. Calling him on the phone, he found out Abdel Rahman went out to a shop. The journalist went about explaining that he had hoped to catch the organization’s director to quiz him on his “media organization” – but that term was met with hostility on the part of Abdel Rahman.
“I am not a media organization. I work from my home, my private home.”
The director of the Observatory seemed very distressed, talking about the dangers of meeting up for daytime interviews because “they are trying to kill me.” It was difficult to identify who “they” were, but Abdel Rahman clearly wasn’t in the mood. He asked Kamer to send him his name and details, which Abdel Rahman would then send to the police.
“When you run a media organization you should expect journalists to come and ask questions, especially if it’s such a shady and unsourced media organization… I had a great time.”
LISTEN MORE:
- Peter - SOHR is handled by MI5.
- Peanuts compared to the money given to terror affiliate the White Helmets (Inc. Money raised from Jo Cox fund).. And that pales compared to the indirect funds for Islamic terrorism from the DWP.
