"Our meetings in March were very positive. There were even remarks from senior officials about long-term commitments even into 2020. There were no suggestions whatsoever about stopping support," Raed Saleh, the group's leader, told CBS News.

Now they are not getting any U.S funding as the State Department says the support is "under active review." The U.S had accounted for about a third of the group's overall funding.

This is a step in the right direction after they were deceived by the White Helmets many times.  The US should either support Bashar al-Assad or get out of Syria entirely.  If Assad gets overthrown, it is likely that the Christians in Syria (Alawites and other minorities too) will suffer the same fate as the Christians did in Iraq.  It is time to stop fighting wars for Israel.

Yes, RT, OAAN, Vanessa Beeley, and Eva Bartlett have done an excellent job exposing the White Helmets, with the mainstream media trying to keep up the lie.
