Assad Says The “Boy In The Ambulance” Is Fake – This Proves It
From an interview with the Syrian President Bashar Assad by the Swiss SRF 1 TV Channel published October 19 2016:
Journalist: This young boy has become the symbol of the war. I think that you know this picture.
President Assad: Of course I saw it.
Journalist: His name is Omran. Five years old.
President Assad: Yeah.
Journalist: Covered with blood, scared, traumatized. Is there anything you would like to say to Omran and his family?
President Assad: There’s something I would like to say to you first of all, because I want you to go back after my interview, and go to the internet to see the same picture of the same child, with his sister, both were rescued by what they call them in the West “White Helmets” which is a facelift of al-Nusra in Aleppo. They were rescued twice, each one in a different incident, and just as part of the publicity of those White Helmets. None of these incidents were true. You can have it manipulated, and it is manipulated. I’m going to send you those two pictures, and they are on the internet, just to see that this is a forged picture, not a real one. We have real pictures of children being harmed, but this one in specific is a forged one.
Assad was half wrong. The picture, printed on page 1 of newspapers all over the "western" world, was not “forged”. It is a real picture from a White Helmet "rescue" video distributed by the Aleppo Media Center (AMC) (which is funded by the French French Ministry of Foreign Affairs). But the scene was carefully staged and we immediately recognized it as staged when it appeared. It was staged like many other "rescue" scenes with "kids saved" by the U.S./UK/D/J/NL financed White Helmets and their associated media.
Look for yourself, trust your eyes.
The "boy in an ambulance" scene features two identifiable kids. Omran and his sister.
Below are pictures of what we believe are the same kids in different scenes.
Here is the girl at another occasion. We will call this scene 1:

The Houston Chronicle reported about this scene and the picture carries this caption:
An 8-year-old girl named Aya calls out for her father after an airstrike in Syrian on Monday, Oct. 10, 2016.
Another picture from the same Chronicle spread:
bigger
This combined one is captioned:
Left: 8-year-old Aya in her everyday life in Syria. Right: 8-year-old Aya after an airstrike in Syria.
Notice the age as well as the girl's favorite colors – light turquoise and pink. Compared to the left picture the hair on the right looks powdered and artificially teased. While there is trickle of "blood" on her face and on her dress no wound is visible.
The Chronicle story is sourced to CNN which includes a short (staged) video and adds:
The video and images were posted online by a pro-opposition activist group, Talbiseh Media Center.
It shows an 8-year-old girl in a medical facility, her hair and body covered with dust. There's blood tricking down her forehead, her nose. She looks confused and scared and keeps calling out for her father.
…
Aya was pulled from under rubble along with her family members when an airstrike hit their home in Talbiseh on Monday. Talbiseh, a large town in northwestern Syria, is about 10 kilometers north of Homs.
A screenshot detail from the video:
The "blood" looks remarkably glossy, unlike natural blood which dries and looks dull pretty fast. The uni-color shirt the girl wears has no arms.
Now the same girl in a different "rescue" scene. We will call this scene 2.
bigger
The truck in the background has a "White Helmets" logo on the door.
A detail of the above picture. It is the same girl as in scene 1. The hair again seems powdered and teased:
Notice: Same habitus, same appearance, same wild hair as in scene 1; no visible wounds; turquoise shirt but with short arms; jeans with glitter
Here is the girl at scene 2 in an ambulance:
bigger
Same shirt and pants as above, no wounds, no pain and not attended to by anybody. Compare this with the video capture of scene 1 the Chronicle and CNN reported on. We strongly believe it is the same girl.
Now what seems to be a different take of scene 2. A "White Helmet" carries the girl and a boy. Notice the same clothing as in the other scene 2 pics above. The pic as well as some of the above from scene 2 was running in the Daily Mail on August 27. The incident is claimed to be the aftermath of a "barrel bombing" in the Bab al-Nairab neighborhood in east-Aleppo.
bigger
Why would two different men carry and "rescue" the girl. She, like the boy, looks fine – same cloth as above, no wounds, no damage to the extremities, no crying – just curiosity.
A detail of the faces in that picture:
A detail of the boy's face:
Now to the "boy in an ambulance" scene. The boy and the reportedly 8-year old girl on August 17 in the Qaterji neighborhood in east Aleppo introduced as "Omran Daqneesh and his sister." (pic source):
bigger
The just "rescued" kids sit quietly but completely unattended to in a brand-new €100,000 ambulance. No shock therapy was initiated, no Trendelberg position or at least laying down flat. No one talks to them despite half a dozen photographers being around them.
Details of the kids – here the boy has the powdered and teased "wild hair" look.
 
Are these the same kids as in scene 2 above?
President Assad believes they are.
We agree. We also believe that all three scenes above are staged. The girl is the same in all three scenes. Her younger brother appears in scene 2 and 3. The White Helmets apparently "rescued" the girl in three different incidents on or about August 17, August 27 and October 10 in three different locations.
Isn't that a remarkably elysian miracle?
Or is it all part of the serial production of elaborately staged anti-Syrian propaganda? Delivered by a marketing organization (vid) funded by "western" governments and various similar financed opposition "media organizations".
Trust your eyes.
1. The seriousness of this BS cannot be overstated.
Hillary, aka Hilton, mentioned ambulance-boy in both the 2nd & 3rd debates in the context of why a NFZ is necessary in Syria – to protect the innocent children. Of course, it’s a page from Bilton’s Iraq NFZ playbook, which resulted in huge excess mortality, particularly in infants and toddlers, PRE-INVASION. When President Hilton starts pumping the patriots up w/ detailed plans for NFZ, you can bet ambulance-boy and the WHs are going to be her mascots and raison d’etre, unless the word gets out that they are fakes.
2. Re: identity of these kids.
After spending hundreds of hours staring at vids from the Ghouta Massacre, I developed an operating rule to use to conclude that the same person is shown in two different vids: there must be, first of all, a general gut-feeling that “yeah, that’s the same person.” I mean there has to be a threshold similarity.
But to corroborate that gut feeling there must be either a least 1 incontestable matching feature, or three less certain features, all of which are visible on the two images being compared. Incontestable features such as identical moles, scars, ear-structure, etc. Less certain features could be unusual clothing, jewelry (espc. watches and stud earrings, which are often worn for long periods), the presence in both images of another person whom you’ve already ID’d as a certain match. I mean if you’re not certain that a boy is the same in two different images, if the guy holding him in both images is the same for sure, chances are the boy is the same, too.
Now, as far as the ambulance-girl goes, like other commentors here, I don’t get an immediate impression that I am looking at the same girl in all of those photos. In the 3rd photo – the two girls next to each other – my immediate impression is “no way.” In the 8th photo there is a little girl running who could just as well be the ambulance-girl purportedly shown in the other photos. It’s just not a clear call.
The strongest point is the spangled jeans. But I have seen similar jeans on other kids in Syria, so I think they are not uncommon — maybe if I could see a specific tear or a peculiar worn knee hole that is clear in both images. But it’s close. And her shirt comes pretty close in a couple of those images as well. But I don’t know the context. For instance, the 5th and the 8th photos might have been part of the same incident and the girl was just handed from one man to another. But that girl looks different to me than the girl with the blood on her face in the 2nd photo. And the shirt is definitely different.
I agree that the blood on the nose looks badly Photoshopped. I mean, c’mon, anyone with blood running down the ridge of their nose is going to wipe it off, or an adult tending to her would certainly reach over and wipe it off. For one thing, you’d think it would make her sneeze. And, as always, a bunch of banged up kids, mostly not crying and with no mothers in sight has to be suspect from the get-go.
As for the ambulance boy, I ain’t buyin’ the conclusion those 2 kids are the same. That 10th image of the close up of the boy in blue and 11th image of ambulance-boy in the ambulance sure don’t look like the same kid to me. The R-ear of the kid in the blue has an unusual shape and really sticks out, but not so ambulance-boy. And ambulance-boy’s head is much longer.

As per your experience, I have found that many of these vids from spooky Syrian local committees disappear quicker than a northbound fart in a southbound breeze. But it’s easy and free to download a browser extension that let’s you d’load YT vids w/ a single click. It takes no time to have a pretty good sized archive. However archiving these vids is not very helpful unless you also label them and index them. Sort of a weird hobby, eh?
4. My skepticism of conclusions that the kids in these photos are the same is not meant to be a criticism of these efforts. Au contraire, I think this sort of video analysis is very important work that we all can be doing, and should be doing.
One of the things that kept Obomber from sending the B-52’s into Syria in 2013 was a small army of online citizen-warriors all around the world pointing out how phony those videos were coming out of Ghouta, thus offering push-back to the bullshit from Higgins, and Kaszeta, and the Israeli “intelligence” that said Assad had dropped sarin on those folks. The website A Closer Look on Syria is an excellent example (and resource) of online activists’ group-efforts analyzing videos and photos to help keep the record straight.
You don’t need much to get into it, and what you do need is all free. 1) A browser add-on to download YTs. 2) A good vid player that will let you freeze frames and move backwards. I use VLC. 3) A spreadsheet or some other means to organize and index what you have. 4) A good screen-grabber so you can juxtapose multiple images and magnify them. 5) Time. 6) Patience. 7) Heart. 8) A good eye, which is going to get better the more you use it.
I ain’t kiddin’, this Hilton witch is going to drag the US and EU and UK and CA &etc, &etc, &etc, into another bloody one in the ME. And the way she’s going to do it is by showing the world phony images like ambulance-boy as a casus belli and getting everybody all fired up to go save the Syrians by bombing them. We’re the only ones who can stop this bullshit; the MSM sure as hell isn’t going to.

So you have no citations, we are to take your suppositions on faith?
you said a lot of things that are verfiably false:
See? Plausable deniability. A couple of degrees of separation. Yet when the Borg Queen wants to start WWIII next year, she can order the DHS Stazi to order outfits like CloudFlare to do the proper ‘shaping’ of internet traffic to filter out unwanted information.
How far is any expose of propaganda like Dusty Boy going to happen if nobody can get to sites like MoA? You’ll be able to get to all kinds of tweets and NGO sites crying about Dusty Boy 2.0, but you won’t see a tweet or a web site calling them out on their lies. Will you even know they interviewed Assad? Will you know the activist ‘photographer’ is a paid NGO shill or that he’s pals with al Zenki? Nope, not if .gov can help it.
Assume your “borg queen” is US gov. They don’t control, or even have input into Cloudfair.
Cloudfair (and Proj. Honeypot) provide information on worst spam offenders to law enforcement and have done so for over 10 years. This serves… everybody. There’s more crooks in the world then Hillary & Obama, and they are the ones targeted by these efforts.
As far as your somehow extrapolating un-documented, innuendo accusations into fear your “DHS Stazi” will somehow limit web access to MoA and I guess all kinds of other sites so we all won’t see the apocalypse happening in real time… non-sense. Cloudfair (or Honeypot) doesn’t have this capability, or even close. At whatever level both are implemented (cms, IP, server and/or firewall, DNS server…) they both provide complete backend real-time access to every blacklisted IP. Any admin at any of these levels checks these regularly. Any blacklisted IP can be removed with a couple clicks at any level in a few seconds.
Cloudfair/Honeypot does not have autonomy over what you suggest, or even close to it. It is not possible for Cloudfair to do as you suggest.
You seem oblivious to the fortune Matthew Prince made from monetizing all the data that you helped collect.
So any admin/ISP etc. using honeypot is automatically part of this great conspiracy (you’ve already thrown me into it).
He’s a lawyer – you can probabwly figure the rest out.
Yes; in your book apparently all lawyers are blacklisted and evil… part of the grand conspiracy.
(…) he was going to take the data you helped collect and sell it to other predatory lawyers or law enforcement for his own personal benefit.
You have provided no evidence he did. Who are the “predatory” lawyers Prince is in cahoots with? Any evidence at all? Is this just… intuition?
FYI, Cloudfair (and Honeypot) do not sell data to law enforcement. If you can provide information to the contrary I will stand corrected. What they both do is PROVIDE data to law enforcement, representing the WORST (most damaging) REPEAT hacking-offenders… all of which is compiled by your unwitting “drone” admins all over the planet who use these tools to keep their customer’s sites/services up and running. There is no profit or evidence of it in data either of these organizations provide to law enforcement.
You seem unable to make a distinction between who’s keeping web access available and who is trying to destroy the same. You are unwilling to provide evidence to support you claims, and you instead attack rather then make your case.
The author of that article, Yasha Levine, should know – he wasted time on The HoneyPot Project until he learned the truth.
We are left to guess what your black-helicopter “truth” is? A horde of un-named “predatory lawyers” lurking to take over the world?
Here’s a few “truths” easily verified:
– Honeypot has been a registered 501c for over 7 years. All the “drone” data harvestors and contributors (in the 10’s of 1000’s) you accuse as conspiratorial are, in your book… too dumb to know they are unwittingly funnelling $$ to Prince (who’s ahd nothing to do with Honeypot since ’09)? Maybe you should post this on their forums, let all these poor fools know they’ve been had.
– ISP’s all over the planet, in every country with web access, overwhelmingly list Honeypot as part of indispensable firewall config to keep their hosting customers sites undamaged and prevent the email “harvesting’ your conspiracy theories wide net accuses them of enabling. Pretty ridiculous.
…
One of the ironies of your convoluted nonsense, which began with ‘insight” into the DOS attacks on east coast is… Cloudfare’s site was amongst those brought down.
I’ll just leave this as a useful exercise in bull shit detection, unless someone cares to have a useful discussion clearing up this nonsense.
