I've been a journalist for about 25 years and I was educated to lie to betray and not to tell the truth to the public but seeing right now within the last months how how far how how 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 I stand I'm going to stand up and say it is not right what I have done in the past uh to manipulate people to make propaganda against Russia and it is not right what my colleagues do on and have done in the past because they are bribed to betray the people not only in Germany all over Europe the reason writing this book was that I I'm 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 behind it to push for war and this is not only politicians this is journalists too and I just have written in the book how we have betrayed in the past our our readers just to push for war and because 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 where we have human rights uh when we if you see the German media especially my colleagues who day by day right against the Russians who are in transatlantic organizations and who are supported by the United states to do so well people like me I I got I I became honorary citizen of the state of Oklahoma in the United states just why just because I write pro American I wrote pro American I was supported by the Central Intelligence Agency by the CIA why because I should be pro American I I'm fed up with it I don't want to do it anymore and so I've just written a book not to earn money no it will cause a lot of trouble for me just to to give the people in this country in Germany in Europe and all over the world just to give them a glimpse of view what goes up behind they're closed doors yes there there is many examples for that we if we go just back to history if you go into the year 19188 if you go to your archives you will find in March 19188 that there was a in in Iraq and in Iraq the Kurdish people have been have been gassed with poisoned gas that is known all over the world but in July 19188 they sent me to a town called zubeidat that is on on the Iraqi Iranian border that was what it was war between the Iranians and the Iraqis and I was sent there to photograph how the Iranians have been guessed with poisoned gas with German poisoned gas you call it lost and sarin mustard gas made by Germany there have been gassed and I was there to make photographs how these people have been killed by poison gas from Germany when I came back to Germany there was just one small photo in a newspaper in the Frankfurt algemeiner and there was one small article not writing how impressive brutally how unhuman how terrible horrible it was to kill half to kill decades after the end of the Second World War people with German poisoned gas so this was a situation I I feel misused for for for having been there and just to give a documentary what has been done but not being allowed to cry out to the world what we have done behind closed doors up to today it's not well known in the public that was German public us there have been hundreds or thousands of people gasped in this city of zubaida now you ask what have I done for intelligence agencies so please see most of the journalists you'll see in foreign countries they claim to be journalists and they they might be journalists European or American journalists but many of them like me and the past are so-called non official cover that's what the Americans call that I have been a non official cover non official cover means what it means you you two work for an intelligence agency you help them if they want you to help them but they will never never when when when you when you are when you are locked or when they find when they find out that you're not only a journalist but a spy to they will never say oh this was one of our guys they will not know you that means non official cover so I have helped them in several situations and I feel ashamed for that too now like I feel ashamed that I have worked for a very recommended newspaper like the frankfurter algemeiner because I was bribed by billionaires that was bribed playing the Americans not to report exactly the truth but I just imagined on in my car while I was driving to this interview I I just tried to work out in my brain what would have happened if I would have written a pro Russian article in the frankfurter algemeiner well I don't know what would have happened but uh we were all educated to write pro European pro American but please not pro Russian so I'm very sorry for that but this is not what I understand for democracy and for press freedom I'm very sorry for that well Jim yeah yes I understand your question very well Germany is still a kind of a colony of the United states you'll see that many points like the majority of the Germans don't want to have nukes in our country but we still have American nukes so we are still kind of a colony of the Americans and being a colony it is very easy to approach uh young journalists uh through what is very important here is transatlantic organizations all journalists from really respected and recommended big German newspapers magazines radio stations TV stations they are all members uh our guests of those big trans Atlantic organizations and they're in these transatlantic organizations you are approached to be pro American and there there is nobody coming to you and saying well we are the Central Intelligence Agency what do you like to work for us now but this is not the case how it happens what they do these transatlantic organizations is they invite you they invite you for seeing the United states they pay for that they pay all your expenses and everything so you're bribed you're getting more and more corrupt because they make you good contacts you won't know that those good contacts are let's say non official non official covers or officially people working for Central Intelligence Agency or other American agencies so you make friends you'll think they are friends and you cooperate with them they they ask you well could you do me this favor could you do me that favor and so your brain more and more is brainwashed through these guys and your question was is this only the case with German journalists no I think it is especially the case where the British journalists because they have a much closer relationship it is especially the case with Israelis of course with French journalists for a part not that big as it was German or was British journalist it is a case for Australian journalists for for journalists from New Zealand from Taiwan from well there is there is many countries countries in the Arab world like Jordan for example like amans the sultanate of Oman there is many countries where this happens where you where you're five people took to claim they are respected journalists but if you look behind them you'll find the they are puppets on a string of the Central Intelligence Agency I'm sorry interrupting you I'll give you one example sometimes the intelligence agencies they come to your office and want you to write an article I give you an example not from strange other journalists from me myself I've just forgotten the year I just remember that the German foreign intelligence bundle Snapfish Indians it is just sister organization of the Central Intelligence Agency it was founded by the American intelligence agency so one one day the BND this German foreign intelligence agency came to my office at the Frankfurt algemeiner in Frankfurt and they wanted me to write an article about Libya and about Colonel Muammar Gaddafi I had I had absolutely no secret informations regarding Colonel Muammar Gaddafi and Libya but they gave me all these secret informations and the they just wanted me to write to to sign the article with my name I did that uh but it was an article that was published in the Frankfurt algemeiner that originally came from the bundesrat which indeed from the German foreign intelligence agency so do you really think that this is journalism intelligence agencies writing articles Oh yes that article III have reprinted it partly in in my book that article was how Libya and Colonel Muammar Gaddafi how he secretly tried to build a poison gas factory I think interrupter was a name yeah and I got all those informations it it was a story that was printed worldwide two days later but I had no information on that it was the intelligence agency that wanted me to write this article but this is not the way journalism should work that intelligence agencies that they decide what is printed and what not if I say no I'll give you an example from a very good example if you say no well we have a rescue unit in Germany with helicopters for traffic accidents it's called they they call themselves the yellow angels there was one guy who who didn't want to cooperate and he was a pilot off the helicopter service of the yellow angels in Germany this guy said no to the foreign intelligence service bundles nakisha Indians when they approached him and wanted him as a non official cover to work for the German foreign intelligence agency and like just to pretend to be somebody from the yellow angels So what what what happened was that he lost his job and the court in Germany they the the judge decided that they were right because such a guy could not be trusted he was kicked off his job because he didn't cooperate with the foreign intelligence service so I knew what what happened if I would not cooperate with intelligence services well well I have had let me say 126 times my house was house searched because I was accused by the public prosecutor the German public prosecutor I was accused of leaking state secrets leaking secrets of states six times house searched well they they hoped that I wouldn't do that ever again but uh I I think it's it's worse that the truth will come out one day the truth won't die and I don't mind what will happen I've had three heart attacks I have no children so if they want to bring me to court or to prison so it's worse for the truth
