Financial aide
The Dutch “Volkskrant” came up with a remarkable article this week:
“The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs is keeping an audit secret, while according to the Amsterdam court it must be partly revealed. The report is about possible financial abuses at the Mayday Rescue foundation, called the White Helmets, involved in rescue work in Syria”.
For many years, the Mayday Rescue organization, Head Quarters in Amsterdam, was the Dutch million-Euro foundation behind the rescue workers of the White Helmets in Syria. Eight donor countries – including Great Britain, Germany and the US – together gave around 100 million euros in subsidies to Mayday.
The Dutch ministry of Foreign Affairs argues that disclosure of the audit report could damage the “proper functioning of the state“. Releasing the investigation would also jeopardize Dutch diplomatic relations. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, other countries involved have ‘explicitly indicated’ that releasing the research could damage relations with the Netherlands.
The question now arises. with these statements what does the Dutch Ministry have to hide, or rather what does the Netherlands and the West have to hide?
The answer is simple! The White Helmets were part of Al-Qaeda, a terrorist group and later merged with DAESH – ISIS (IS).The evidence was presented by the director of the Russia-based organization: Study of Democracy Foundation, Maxim Grigoriev in 2018.
The report was based on interviews with more than 100 eyewitnesses, including 40 members of White Helmets, 50 residents and 15 former terrorist fighters.More than 500 civilians were also questioned in the Syrian cities of Aleppo and Deraa.

As I have often said and wrote before in many articles, the Netherlands is the most globalist country in Europe, second after the United Kingdom (UK). The money flows through Dutch “empty mailboxes” in the pretext of companies and foundations. Such as the White Helmets, or called the Mayday Rescue Foundation, which was founded in the UK and white-washed in the Netherlands and also funded by Dutch taxpayers’ money by so-called (state) lotteries (Postcode lottery).
The secret isn’t a secret anymore. The Netherlands supported 22 terrorist groups in Syria, which they called rebels and, which the Dutch government is good at, concealed this in a so-called aid program called NLA (Non-Lethal-Assistance). But actually, on behalf of their boss the US, they had to support these terrorists’ groups, the terrorists were called rebels, another cover-up. But Syrians and of course Iraqis know it. The emergence of IS or DAESH is supported and financed by the West and of course the Dutch government does not want to make it public!
Death in Istanbul
The founder of the Mayday Rescue foundation, British James Le Mesurier, died in November 2019 after a fall from his apartment in Istanbul, Turkey. Shortly before his death, Le Mesurier wrote in a letter to the donor countries concerned that there had been financial abuses at the Mayday foundation, including fraud involving 50,000 dollars. This is the official version. But why would anyone report about a minor amount of 50,000 dollar, keep in mind that Western countries have given millions of dollars and Euros to this so-called foundation, of course from the taxpayers in the countries concerned!
” After Le Mesurier’s death, the Dutch division of the accounting firm Grant Thornton investigated the Mayday foundation. So far, only the summary has become known. According to this summary, which spans nine paragraphs, investigators found no evidence of fraud. According to the accountants, the misappropriation of USD 50,000 described by Le Mesurier was based on a misunderstanding“.
The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs should not have completely rejected an information request for the disclosure of a report by Grant Thornton Accountants about the Mayday Rescue foundation and the White Helmets, the Amsterdam court ruled in July last year. Nevertheless, the ministry has since refused to publish parts of the audit report.
James Le Mesurier and his wife Emma Winberg.
Speaking to British newspaper (tabloid) Daily Mail, Emma Winberg dismissed rumors of any Syrian or Russian involvement in her husband’s death, pointing to Le Mesurier’s chief financial officer, Dutchman Johan Eleveld, as a suspect. Accusing the Dutchman of driving her husband to the edge of despair, Winberg said, “Elevand exploited every single mistake by James.”

According to her, Elevand, a financial controller at the Dutch Foreign Ministry, joined Mayday in August 2018. Mayday was based in Istanbul, but it was registered in the Netherlands as a charitable foundation.
At Mayday, everyone was paid well. The fees for the management are in the high segment of the international aid sector. James Le Mesurier initially had a monthly salary of $18,000, . The donors have set the compensation for the volunteers in Syria at $150 per month!
In 2018 there is vacancy for a chief financial officer (CFO) at the Mayday Foundation, well-paid of course! The ideal candidate cancels after initial enthusiasm. Number two on the list is Johan Eleveld, who works for private companies and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He will join on August 23, 2018, as development director/controller.
Dutch officials from the Syria team in Istanbul and The Hague told Le Mesurier that they were also shocked and that ’the decision has been made at the highest level’. ‘The Dutch diplomats in the field said: this is nonsense, it is politics. It has nothing to do with Mayday and the White Helmets, but with the other political wind that was blowing”.
Why does the Netherlands let an organization that rescues people and collects evidence of war crimes drop like a stone? They had an excellent reputation in the Netherlands as the most courageous and humanitarianly important organization that could still work in Syria? People wondered, misled by the Dutch government, who knew that they were supporting terrorists all along!
On 10 September 2018, it became known that ” The Netherlands had supplied more than 25 million euros worth of goods such as pick-up trucks, food packages, uniforms, satellite phones, cameras and medical kits. Aid had gone to organizations that were classified as terrorists. Dutch news showed videos of so-called rebel groups heading towards the front in white pick-ups with machine guns. Jihadist fighters were waging war with Dutch support.

But the Mayday Foundation was still operational after the revelations and now became a problem for the Dutch government. The US has changed its policies and brought the Dutch government in a difficult position, now the entire West had lost its proxy war in Syria.
What Le Mesurier didn’t know in 2018 is that his so-called Dutch employee Eleveld, who was of course an asset of the Dutch secret service was involved in lengthy proceedings at home about his former companies in Romania and actually a “white-collar” criminal.
So, there was a conflict between Eleveld and le Mesurier, if we are to believe, but Eleveld was part of the Dutch Ministery and probably also the AIVD, the secret service of the Netherlands, which were widely represented in Istanbul and Gaziantep during the Syrian war.
It is not certain, but it was of course a convenient solution to the problem of the Dutch government to get rid of Le Mesurier, he could start talking about the White Helmets, which turned out to be a terrorist organization after all, emerged with Al-Qaeda etc. His death solved a lot of problems for the Dutch government!
