Carla Ortiz is a Bolivian actress and model well known among anti-war activists for reporting on Syria. She went there multiple times in the last 3 years. She claimed to be making a documentary about Syria, with an ESTIMATED BUDGET OF $450,000 ( everyone still waiting for it until today...).
I came in contact with Carla almost 3 years ago through twitter, when I corrected on a thread the number of victims in Yemen, if I recall well.
Suddenly, I received a direct message from Carla saying she wanted to know more and help more. She straight away gave me her mobile number to be able to communicate on WhatsApp. I started to send her videos from Yemeni civilians and information on the ongoing
bombing in Yemen, to work to release the videos on social media.
One day, Carla was very upset on Whatsapp. She explained to me that she was very disappointed by a friend of hers joining Soros to build refugee camps. (We had discussed many times the human trafficking there and exchanged information on this. I will provide at the end the whats app voicemail.)
She said his name was Frank Giustra and was one of her dear friends, but needed to cut ties with him as she was upset with the decision he made--despite her explaining to him that the White Helmets were bad and Syria war was CIA-made (As if Giustra didn't know already...).
She sounded so sad. I didn't want to tell her all that I knew about Giustra that night (it would be for another day ), and congratulated her of her decision to stand with what was right.
Time went by, and we were always in contact. From time to time, with another person and some help from Yemeni civilians, we would create a new video about Yemen. She was more focused on Syria, but after all it was her battle so I didn't see anything wrong with it.
Still, I started to see lies in her stories. I would first call them white lies and would dismiss them (thinking I was too much paranoid), but then things happened that I couldn't ignore anymore. And this is when, almost 6 months ago, it all started to unravel.
Back in June 2018, Carla made 2 mistakes that I couldn't ignore. First, she retweeted a CNN journalist that few weeks before went on air showing herself sniffing a child's backpack from a refugee camp to prove the Syrian government had used chemical weapons.
She retweeted her documentary about refugees saying it was a great job. I told her she should not give legitimacy to CNN after all the regime change lies they are pushing (little did I know the documentary was funded by Giustra). This was our discussion about it ( whats app answer on CNN ):
