A top journalist and the political author has claimed that the notorious White Helmets are nothing more than a "propaganda organization" for the deep state.

Sy Hersh said that although the Western-supported group may save lives, they are there primarily to twist the narrative towards the agenda of the Western governments and nothing more.

"Too many times we've seen the same child in photographs, year after year, always covered in dust," Hersh said, adding that the White Helmets "do engage in anti-Assad [activities]."

Hersh went on to explain that.

According to RT: Hersh added that when a chemical attack took place in Syria under the Obama administration in 2013, it was well known then that Damascus had sophisticated chemical weapons.

Because of this, it was clear that the substance used in the attack "was not the same as in the Syrian military."

He explained that, in June 2013, there was a "very important" intelligence report put out by the US government.

That report said there was "tremendous concern" in the intelligence community because Saudi Arabia and Turkey were providing chemicals to Al Nusra in Syria that, when mixed together, make a nerve agent referred to as "kitchen sarin."

"The government knew from this very important intelligence report...that there were two suspects – Al Nusra had the stuff and Syria had the stuff. Forget about having it analyzed – they knew right away and they only talked about one," Hersh said.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist also spoke to RT about reporting in the United States and how it changed under the Obama administration, as well as the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury, UK.

Linked White Helmets group in Syria has been granted an additional $6.6 million in funding from the US Government.

The Western-trained military organization, accused of orchestrating false flag attack against Syrian civilians, is having its funding restored by the United States just one month after its financial support was frozen.

The terrorist outfit has been lauded by the State Departed for "saving 100,000 lives.

"The release of the funds has been authorized by the US State Department, in union with the United States Agency for International Development.

According to Syrian locals, the notorious White Helmets have arrived with chemicals, protective gear and cameras to militant-controlled Idlib in Syria in what they claim is a preparation for another false flag attack.

Worried locals told the Russian Reconciliation Center they witnessed a convoy of six vehicles, bearing the familiar emblems of the White Helmets, arrive in the capital of Idlib province over the weekend.
