Udo Ulfkotte, a former editor (until 2003) of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung who revealed in his 2014 book Gekaufte Journalisten (to be published in translation later this year as Journalists for Hire: How the CIA Buys the News)

was found dead a few days short of his 57th birthday, reportedly of heart-failure, on 13 January 2017.

He wrote that German news-media are directed

to publish false reports that serve the for eign-policy agenda of the government of the United States . T hey are both brib ed for cooperation and punished for refus al to cooperate.

Of course there are questions about whether Ulfkotte really died of natural causes at only 57 years of age (and, perhaps not coincidentally, just one week before the empowerment of a differently minded U.S. administration) . Against th at suspicion one can cite th e fact that Ulfkotte had a history of heart-trouble. B ut this question is less important than what Ulfkotte wrote.





Paul Craig Roberts notes:



Global Research, 15 January 2017] He published a courageous book in which he said that the CIA had a hand on every significant journalist in Europe, which gave Washington control over European opinion and reduced knowledge of and opposition to Washington’s control over European heads of state. Essentially, there are no European governments independent of Washington. [, 15 January 2017]





Since controlling the news-media is equivalent to controlling the government, Ulfkotte's book amounts to documentation that Germany today is a vassal of the United States.

It is important to keep in mind that the CIA is principally an instrument of the current administration. It is not a coincidence that Germany commits racial suicide during the most overtly anti-White U.S. presidential administration in history, one that has even encouraged violence domestically against police and against White people generally.

In foreign policy, however, it is well known that the U.S.A., wh ich lords over Germany, is in turn a vassal of the Israel Lobby. Ulfkotte has revealed that German news-media were required to publish false war-propaganda in service to the Zionist agenda of régime-change, in particular an accusation in 2011 that Muammar Qadhafi was building a poison-gas factory in Libya. Recently, Ulfkotte said, there has been a campaign of false reporting to drum up a war against Russia, for the obvious reason that Russia interfered with the Zionist agenda of régime-change in Syria.

The new Trump administration will likely bring a reversal or at least a halt to such trends, in Europe as well as in the U.S.A.





Ulfkotte's Errata





Ulfkotte said one thing in his 2014 interview with RT that was incorrect. He said that it was "known all over the world" that in 1988 Kurdish people were gassed by the Iraqi government (at Halabja, in northern Iraq). This is an example of a story that is widely "known" without being true . Th is false rumor was originally propagated by the Iranians in March 1988 (after they the mselves had accidentally gassed some Iraqi Kurds) , then taken up and perpetuated by Zionist news-media from September 1988 onward, when the war between Iraq and Iran had ended. (The preem inent source for debunking the gassed-Kurds accusation is Stephen C. Pelletier e, a professor emeritus at the U.S. Army War College.)





The gassing-incident that Ulfkotte personally observed in July 1988 involved, he says, "hundreds or thousands" of gassed Iranians at Zubeidat (in southern Iraq). This would have been a military use of poison - gas against invaders, rather than grat uitous gassing of a civilian population .
