That is why I’m doing what I can to share his words with you.
Today it is perfectly clear to the average citizen that these "revolutions" in the Middle East, for example, have achieved absolutely nothing.

Also shocking is what the pro-American, German-speaking mainstream media is keeping secret from us: The situation, for example, under the Egyptian President Al-Sisi is even ghastlier than it was under President Mubarak.

Now, the Egyptians are so anti-American that during his visit in July 2014, the US Secretary of State John Kerry had security check, being frisked and having to go through a metal detector, before he was received by the Egyptian President.

Our pro-American media prefers to hide things like that from the German-speaking world. They keep it secret, like so many other things, because they simply can't explain this to the public.
The link is here.
Especially after having written all those articles celebrating the wave of Western peace and democracy that was supposedly washing over the Middle East.
If you want to know why European news is so one-sided, get familiar with the networks operating behind the scenes, the ones where the alpha journalists are embedded.
Evidently, they can hardly wait to send our soldiers into the next American war. So far, more than 100 German soldiers have been killed in foreign deployments that were prepared journalistically in our leading media.
What do these German journalists, who so loudly demanded the end of the political "cowardice in the face of the public," say to the parents of the German soldier Georg Kurat?
He died in Afghanistan at the age of 21. Or to the parents of Konstantin Alexander Menz (22) and the relatives of more than fifty other German soldiers who lost their lives in Afghanistan alone? And the worst part of it is: They lost their lives for absolutely nothing.
The billions of dollars in development aid and the blood we've shed there hasn't changed a thing.
Have our mainstream media ever publicly apologized for their share in the responsibility for all the bloodshed and suffering, and not just in Afghanistan, that has resulted from their biased reporting?
Here, our alpha journalists prefer to remain silent. As Markus Wiegand, editor-in-chief of the Wirtschaftsjournalist (Business Journalist), aptly described these colleagues: "The elite in this industry live in a bubble where you don't harm one another, instead, you just pat each other on the back.”
From Alexander the Great (356 to 323 BC) to the Roman Empire and the British Empire and up to World War II, history has taught us one thing: The world cannot be controlled, governed or pacified by one person or one group.
Alexander the Great
Just as Alexander the Great, who once dreamed of bringing peace to the whole world, was unable to keep the peace among his own European troops on their way from Macedonia to what is present-day Afghanistan, now, nearly 2,500 years later, American and German soldiers haven't been able to change anything there either.
As we know, the entire German military tried in vain to succeed where Alexander the Great had failed.
No German soldiers would have ever been sent to war by our politicians if our leading media hadn't submissively prepared the ground for them with their clever, psychologically potent rhetoric.
I personally experienced this, up close and personal, for almost two decades. In the meantime, many people are now sick and tired of the biased reporting coming from our "quality media."
I also wouldn't be surprised if the friends and relatives of fallen German soldiers start to blame the mainstream media and their network of friends after reading this book.
The following chapters are definitely going to bring the structures operating behind the scenes into much better focus. "Friendly fire" is what it's called when you fall victim to your own side's weapons.
In this book, I will show how opinion makers in the German-speaking world cheer on the "transatlantic friendship," while shooting at their own helpless population.
The weapons at the media's disposal are far more dangerous than the soldiers' noisy ammunition.
Their lies creep quietly, deep into our brains.
We alluded to this out a few paragraphs ago in connection with the articles glorifying the revolutions in North Africa and the combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Something that never ceases to amaze the careful observer in this battle for public opinion is what our mainstream media always leaves out when they provide important background information.
One example: In the summer of 2014, Human Rights Watch published a long report about the restrictions on the freedom of the press in Western democracies due to the increasingly intensive monitoring and surveillance measures carried out by US intelligence services.
The report documents how journalists have had to change the way they work in order to even get their hands on any independent information at all.
The German-speaking mainstream media didn't waste a word on this report, but then again, they boast an extremely close relationship to American propaganda organizations.
If the same report would have discussed the restrictions on Russian journalists because of state-sponsored surveillance and monitoring in Moscow, this story would probably have been on the front page of every paper.
In plain language: Instead of neutral news, more and more often we are being served increasingly selective information.
Our thinking is being channeled in the process – and this certainly isn't happening by accident.
I don't know what is going to happen after this book is published [the author was probably murdered].
After all, I am exposing networks that prefer working in the dark.
I'm also naming the names of hundreds of journalists. The purpose of providing these names or identifying people, organizations or companies is not for defamation or slander.
Rather, this is necessary in the public interest, because the horrific damage resulting from what I describe in this book affects us all.
The only way this damage can be prevented is by making it public.
This is because, as opposed to corrupt politicians, corrupt journalists cannot be prosecuted if they manipulate or suppress the truth - even when they take bribes to do so I wrote a few of the people listed here by name and asked them for a statement.
In response, I received letters from lawyers, threats of lawsuits and hints of possible steps being taken in the direction of criminal prosecution.
For these reasons, I didn't bother any of the large media companies with any more questions. I'm anxious to see what will happen.
Markus Wiegand, editor-in-chief of the Wirtschaftsjournalist, said that on closer inspection, the German media elite is made of up of a “club of wimps.”
If you criticize them, they start screaming like a nest full of hungry chicks.
One thing is very important: before I unmask other journalists, I must admit to my own wrongdoing.
I have written about how corrupt I was in my reporting and which networks had an influence over my reporting - always with my employer's blessing.
After that, it'll get really exciting. My goal? I want to use the truth concentrated in the following chapters, which is proven with sources, paragraph for paragraph, not only to inform, but also to affect a change – together with the readers of this book and their friends.
Will we be able to do it together? Usually, you never end up with exactly what you intended. In the late 80's, the East German opposition would have never believed you if you told them that the Berlin wall was going to fall and Germany would be reunited.
They only wanted to relieve some of the problems within the system. Instead, they brought it down.
In 1906, the American author Upton Sinclair wrote a muckraking novel because he wanted to improve the working conditions in the Chicago slaughterhouses of the time.
What resulted instead were sweeping laws for better food hygiene. Looking back, he said, "I aimed for the public's heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach."
With this in mind, I hope the following chapters will reach people's hearts. And, I hope that one day, this will help bring an end to the growing frustration so many people have with fake journalists and the media they work for.
"If you don't buy, you won't get lies." This was the slogan of Malaysian activists calling for a nationwide boycott of the newspapers.
More and more Malaysians were unhappy with their reporting and wanted to teach the ruling elite a lesson.
This widespread dissatisfaction is also present in Germany. Do we really have independent media?
Or has it all just become pure fiction in the meantime?
Who decides on what news we get to hear?
Why is every minor facet of an American presidential election now more important than any local German news? If you're reading this, you can probably guess the answer: In democracy's shadows, information is molded by the invisible hand of an opinion cartel.
In the background: There are elite organizations with close ties to intelligence agencies.
They are active among the think tanks and "charitable" foundations.
