From
the Kosovo Protection Corps in the Balkans to the White Helmets of
Syria, a group of well-connected people with the fundings of
governments and elite billionaires have sought to wage a war on
public opinion and have recently exploited Jo Cox’s death to do so.

Part
3 - The Balkans, the Jo Cox Foundation and James Le Mesurier
Unsurprisingly,
the Jo Cox Foundation retrospectively endorses the NATO intervention
in 1999 and upholds the narratives that manufactured consent for this
NATO-state unlawful aggression that was never legitimized by a UN
mandate.
Jo Cox
named her first child Lejla, in memory of a “Bosniak genocide
victim she met at Srebrenica.” Cox based much of her
argumentation for military intervention in Syria upon the dubious and
deadly case for military interference in the Balkans.
In
February 2018, Brendan Cox resigned from both the Jo Cox Foundation
and More In Common after sensationally admitting to being a
repeat-offending “sex-pest” during his time working for Save the
Children (STC). This followed new allegations that Cox drunkenly
grabbed a woman by the throat, forced her against the wall of a
London bar, and told her “I want to f**k you.” Cox had
resigned from STC in 2015 after accusations of harassment and
indecent behavior had forced his ignominious departure.
Brendan
Cox had started working with orphans and children in Sarajevo when he
was just 18 years old. In a speech given in Kirkcaldy, Scotland, in
March 2017, under the auspices of the Jo Cox Foundation, Cox stated
that he had been “working to counter extremism and hatred long
before it attacked his own family.” Cox’s journey began in
the former Yugoslavia, where he worked with “survivors of the
siege of Sarajevo” and continued for the “next ten years.”
Cox claims to have spent every summer and Christmas running “holiday
camps, volunteering in orphanages and teaching in schools.” Cox
worked with “children from Moster, Vukovar and Srebrenica”
James Le
Mesurier’s Balkans career path is a little more intricate than
previously revealed. After speaking to sources in Serbia, his role
has been clarified in greater detail.
In 1998
Le Mesurier was seconded to the Office of the High Representative
(OHR) for Bosnia and Herzegovina, under Carlos Westendorp, before
being sent to Kosovo in summer of 1999 after the deployment of KFOR
(Kosovo Force) to the province.
From
July 1999 – 2000, Le Mesurier was appointed Intelligence
Coordinator for Pristina City, acting as liaison officer between
Intel officers of different national contingents in KFOR. Le Mesurier
left the British Army in 2000.
From
January 2001 – February 2002, Le Mesurier was Deputy Head of the
Advisory Unit on Security and Justice and the Special Representative
of the Secretary General (SRSG) Hans Haekkerup’s security policy
body within the UN Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). In this position, Le
Mesurier acted as political advisor to the UN Police Commissioner and
represented the SRSG on civil-military-police coordination bodies. He
led interdepartmental working groups, developing regulatory regimes
for private security companies and weapon possession and control.
From
February 2002 – July 2003, Le Mesurier was advisor on economic
crime with the EU Mission in Kosovo, supporting units countering
money laundering, terrorism, smuggling, anti-corruption and financial
disclosure.
