Eva Bartlett

Eva Karene Bartlett (born 14 June 1977) is an American Canadian activist, commentator, and blogger who has propagated conspiracy theories in connection to the Syrian civil war,[1][2][3] most notably the disproven allegation that the White Helmets stage rescues and "recycle" children in its videos.

[note 1][8][9] Critics contend that her advocacy amounts to participation in a disinformation campaign aimed at lessening the responsibility of the Assad regime for the acts of indiscriminate killing during the war, and to promote pro-Kremlin content in relation to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

[13] From 2008, Bartlett was a pro-Palestinian campaigner with the International Solidarity Movement, making trips to Gaza, reporting and commenting on her blog, and going on speaking tours in North America.

[29] Research by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue in 2022 identified Bartlett as a member of a network of social media accounts, individuals, outlets and organisations who disseminated disinformation about the Syria conflict, noting that one video featuring her had been viewed 4.5 million times on Facebook.

[33][34] The Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) identified her as one of the twelve key Western influencers spreading pro-Kremlin disinformation about the Russo-Ukrainian War.

Facebook has labeled her posts with a disclaimer that she “may be partially or wholly under the editorial control of the Russian government.”[10][35] In July 2022, she was a speaker at the Russian-organised International Public Tribunal on Ukraine in Moscow, which aimed to "collect data and prove the commission of war crimes by the Kyiv regime".
