Former Newspaper Editor Who Exposed CIA Found Dead
Former editor of largest newspaper in Germany revealed the CIA pays journalists
in Germany, France, Britain, Australia and New Zealand to plant fake stories.
Among the stories Ulfkotte says he was ordered by the CIA to plant in his
newspaper was a fake story that Libyan President Moammar Gaddafi was building
poison gas factories in 2011.

Dr. Udo Ulfkotte, the former German newspaper editor whose bestselling book
exposed how the CIA controls German media, has been found dead. He was 56.
Ulfkotte was an editor at Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, one of the largest
newspapers in Germany, when he published Bought Journalists, the bestselling
book that cost him his job and perhaps his life.
German media, who were banned from reporting on his work in recent years, are
reporting he died of “heart failure”.
Acknowledging that his life was under threat, Ulfkotte explained that he was in
a better position than most journalists to expose the truth because he didn’t
have any children who could be threatened.
Speaking to the Russian newspaper Russian Insider, Ulkfotte said: “When I told
the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (Ulfkotte’s newspaper) that I would publish
the book, their lawyers sent me a letter threatening with all legal
consequences if I would publish any names or secrets – but I don’t mind. You
see, I don’t have children to take care of.“
His fears for a war in Europe, lead him to his decision to tell the truth about
corporate media being controlled by intelligence services on behalf of the
financial class.
“I’ve been a journalist for about 25 years, and I’ve been educated to lie, to
betray, and not to tell the truth to the public,” Ulfkotte told Russia Today.
“I was supported by the Central Intelligence Agency, the CIA. Why? Because I am
pro-American.”
“The German and American media tries to bring war to the people in Europe, to
bring war to Russia. This is a point of no return, and I am going to stand up
and say… it is not right what I have done in the past, to manipulate people, to
make propaganda against Russia.”
Ulfkotte said most corporate media journalists in the United States and Europe
are “so-called non-official cover,” meaning that they work for an intelligence
agency. “I think it is especially the case with British journalists, because
they have a much closer relationship. It is especially the case with Israeli
journalists. Of course with French journalists. … It is the case for
Australians, [with] journalists from New Zealand, from Taiwan, well, there is
many countries,” he said.

Ulfkotte’s book Bought Journalists became a bestseller in Germany but, in a
bizarre twist which Ulfkotte says characterizes the disconnect caused by CIA
control of the western media, the book cannot be reported on by the German
press.
Ulfkotte said: “No German mainstream journalist is allowed to report about [my]
book. Otherwise he or she will be sacked. So we have a bestseller now that no
German journalist is allowed to write or talk about.”
Among the stories Ulfkotte says he was ordered by the CIA to plant in his
newspaper was a fake story that Libyan President Moammar Gaddafi was building
poison gas factories in 2011.
“The German and American media tries to bring war to the people in Europe, to
bring war to Russia,” he told RT.
“This is a point of no return, and I am going to stand up and say … it is not
right what I have done in the past, to manipulate people, to make propaganda
against Russia, and it is not right what my colleagues do, and have done in the
past, because they are bribed to betray the people not only in Germany, all
over Europe. … I am very fearful of a new war in Europe, and I don’t like to
have this situation again, because war is never coming from itself, there is
always people who push for war, and this is not only politicians, it is
journalists too. … We have betrayed our readers, just to push for war. … I
don’t want this anymore; I’m fed up with this propaganda. We live in a banana
republic, and not in a democratic country where we have press freedom.”
