Oh yes, James it was. That's the story, and you believe that ?

Comes from his friends and wife, initial investigators only repeated what they heard from them, main investigation concurred. The body was released early.

Not saying he wasn't depressed, but conflicting stories don't make for the truth. His body was returned to UK in no time at all. His wife was also into secret stuff employed by the Foreign Office in some capacity. Would we expect them to tell the truth... NO , I don't think so.
He had taken sleeping pills, we were told, so why was he awake ?

I just never thought of it as suspicious and took it as media frenzy, nobody had a significant amount to gain by killing or even punishing him. If they wanted to send a message, a bullet from a distance would have done the job unequivocally.

Peter Ford, the United Kingdom’s former ambassador to Syria and Bahrain, doubts the official narratives over the mysterious death of Le Mesurier. Ford told MintPress the following when asked to weigh in on the burgeoning controversy.


It is sad for anyone to be so stressed that they take their own life. But if Le Mesurier was stressed, how do we know it wasn’t because he was afraid that the truth about financial irregularities he was suspected of was beginning to leak out? Fear of being uncovered in impropriety has sent many over the edge. Le Mesurier’s company Mayday Rescue was coming under the microscope.

Last year the Dutch government stopped funding Mayday because they weren’t sure what Mayday were doing with the money. That’s in the public record.

Le Mesurier sat at the centre of a tangled web of money laundering companies. The wheels were beginning to come off his operation.

With so much money passing through his hands–Western governments sent upwards of $200 million to the White Helmets–and such lax controls the temptation to defraud must have been immense.

Are we sure Le Mesurier was not under investigation by the British authorities? The British Foreign Office statement following his death was strangely tight-lipped:

We are deeply saddened by the news of the death of James Le Mesurier. Our condolences go out to his family and friends at this difficult time.

Why no mention of his wonderful work? Funny, that.

Another desperate plea from the people of Syria who live on the ground there and in amongst the deplorable conditions being thrust upon them.

Is there anyone who has the courage to speak up for these people ? I doubt it, because there are too many cowards in this country, frightened of being black listed due to propaganda that has been fed to and swallowed by the British public.

No MP raises the Syrian crisis , ever. Has any one of them even heard of the Caesar Act ? Has any member of the public heard about the Caesar Act that was implemented last week ?

And yet again ,this will fall on deaf ears and hidden under the carpet in the hope the truth will go away. We call ourselves humanitarians.. what a bloody joke !

The White Helmets constantly financed and supported because it was Jo Cox Foundation that partly funded them. No one would wish to destroy a foundation that was set up in memory of someone who so tragically died, and her good intentions were misguided, but many more have tragically died due to the continual financial support for White Helmets .

A message from Father Daniel.

More messages from the people from all walks of life in Syria. A nation that is being starved to death by sanctions. Sanctions inflicted on them by the Western Government.
Sanctions do not hurt the Governements , sanctions hurt the people.
The Syrian people are protecting their land, their oil, their animals, their children, their livelihood, but despite the Briritsh Government saying they have given so much in aid to Syria, it has gone to Idlib, where the terrorists have gained.
No despatches of food, medicines or anyting else have arrived from Britian for the general public, as Pierre le Corf, a humanitarian who lives in Aleppo said, anything being despatched in any country is always stamped with the name of the country that donated. Nothing has arrived in the general population of Syria from Britain, from France or anywhere else. All has gone to the terrorists in the region of Idlib, because that is where the camps are and they are who are controlling the camps in that region.
UN despatches of food and medicines etc. were snaffled off by other groups , I have witnessed that on videos.
Now the Syrians are treating Covid with the equvalent to pandol. No food for the ordinary family, inflation is extreme and food is now too expensive for those who have lost everything. They are now down to boiling chicken heads. They can't go anywhere, they can;t do anything, they can;t eat, they have no medicines, they don;t have anything and once the winter sets in I doubt they will be able to afford heating .
Then we wonder why all these migrants are coming to this country from Syria !!

Why are our MP's remaining silent ? We have Syrian refugees in this part of the country, why are they being hidden ? Why are the media silent ? What is hoped to be achieved in Syria ? What was this war all about, because all it has succeeded in doing is slaughtering 100,000's of innocent people, jeopardising the lives of those who fled their homeland and are still fleeing and the livelihoods of the rest of the remaining population ? The old, the young, the disabled and the sick . Blame ISIS, yes, blame FSA, yes, blame Al Nusra, yes..... but why the severe sanctions if USA didn't want to overthrow the Government ? The road map was clear to see years ago, and now the actions of US, backed by UK and EU paint a much clearer picture of the destination that was intended as it was in Iraq. In Syria, they just set off on a different route .

I don't expect even the response of a fly to this, but at least those who might have a glimmer of compassion will read and understand .

A testimony from the forgotten people.

I read them all Granny and feel really sorry for them.
It used to be such a lovely country and it is obvious why there is an exodus of their people.
Sadly the huge influx of immigrants from Africa is compounding the issue of taking everyone in and giving them asylum.

Thank you Mikeeb. It's nice to know that some are aware, even if it's not something most want to talk about. People filled with fear for talking about it ??? What's that about ? The same response world wide. People are scared to mention the name 'Syria '.
It's not the Syrians population who are the bad people. It's the Brits,Canadians, French, Italians, Spanish, and all the other nationalities who went to fight and to kill the Syrian people in their own country .

Such an outcry when Alan Henning was murdered, it wasn;t the Syrians who killed him , it was Jihadi John who was a Brit !

I suspect everyone is aware Granny. Just like you say, it seems it is something many don't want to talk about.

Yet another example of BBC mis-representation.

A report on Amer Refugee Camp in Idlib Province , northern Syria. We could be forgiven through false reporting ,for placing blame on the Syrian Government . 600 doctors for a population of 4 million in North West Syria, that is not 4 million in Amer Camp. More attempted propoganda from the BBC. The doctors ran away to Europe because ISIS were taking them hostage to work in their underground terroist hospitals (probabyl many still do)

If they wish to report, they should follow up with an explanation afterwards, explaining the truth of the situation and how it has arisen.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-middle-east-54697587

Atme camp. Clearly a camp where people fled originally for safety, but was taken buy ISIS and now has the SAA backed by Turkey controlling it.
N.B. The Syrian National Army is an Army put together of Syrian militants, militias, terrorists and Islamists by Erdogan of Turkey . The same army he has sent to fight against the Armenians, and in Lybia. A very clever move because he is using an army he has created from nationals of a differnt country, and therefore Erdogan cannot be accused of any war crimes etc. An evil man and committed Islamist.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atme

Atme (Arabic: اطمه‎, also spelled Atma, Atima, Atmeh) is a town in northern Syria, administratively part of the Idlib Governorate, located north of Idlib and just east of the border with Turkey. It lies southeast of Deir Ballut, south of Jindires, northwest of Qah and north of Sarmada and al-Dana. In the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics' 2004 census, it had a population of 2,255.[1]

The Olive Tree Camp is a refugee camp that emerged during the Syrian Civil War. Since October 2011, internally displaced Syrians who failed to cross over to Turkey started settling between the olive trees. According to the Maram Foundation, more than 28,000 people live in this camp.[when?]

A 150-year-old tree in Atme was cut down by members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in November 2013. They accused the locals of venerating the tree instead of God.[2] Recently, the town came under the control of the Syrian National Army.

I'm missing your point, they were quite clear in stating "600 doctors for a population of 4 million in North West Syria" at no point did they imply there were 4 million in Amer.

Over half of the 4 million are displaced people, 80% of them are women and children. Across the border there are 3.6 million Syrian refugees in Turkey and another 2 million in other countries.

Most of the displaced people within Northwest Syria aren't within camps but are spread round the various districts, the most being in Dana with around half a million. Idlib has far more than Aleppo Provence.

There are programs underway to not only repair the existing devastated properties but also build new houses.

Some of the refugees within Syria are Palestinians.
