FRANKFURT (The East-West-Writer)—If you detest the German lying press, corrupt journalists, and regime TV (ARD, ZDF, Zeit, Spiegel, Faz, Sueddeutsche), than you wanted Dr. Udo Ulfkotte to live forever!

If you believe in truth, freedom of speech, and democracy, than you want Dr. Udo Ulfkotte to haunt the (failed!) media profession AND his coward former “colleagues” who chose to take the easy road in life and pay lip service to their masters: censorship, propaganda, and indoctrination.

Dr. Ulfkotte, author of Corrupt Journalists and Warning: Civil War in Germany, had the courage to speak up against our corrupt media and expose their manipulation and political agenda. This meant sure career suicide, of course, but he took it, because he needed a clear conscience anddeliver hard facts. What must have driven him to the fringes of his own sanity, he nevertheless always presented in a calm voice and professional manner. His interviews, on Youtube, are a riot.

He will be remembered by thousands of compatriots in Germany, Europe, and in the rest of the world who are, just like he was, looking in shock and despair at the fall of free Germany and Europe. How could this happen? Dr. Ulfkotte explained it: Because the German key media are in complete cahoots with the regime.

RELATED Germany’s Crackdown on Freedom of Speech

This year Angela Merkel and her favorite ministers, Heiko Maas and Thomas De Maiziere, are going to prosecute most opposition, alternative and social media, and hunt down the popular resistance leaders (the AfD) They will effectively criminalize the native Germans by ruthless “hate speech laws” that will put an end to freedom of speech (if there ever was one).

Dr. Udo Ulfkotte worked like an ox for the future of 80 million people and died in a heart-attack on January 13, 2017. He was 56 years old. Rest in peace, Old Truth-seeker.

World Class Journalist Spills the Beans, Admits Mainstream Media is Completely Fake

‘EU’s new tool against political opponents is to link them to Russia’ –targeted Danish journalist

Danish Journalist Iben Thranholm, who was branded as a Russian propagandist and included on an EU blacklist for comments she made on migrant policy, tells RT that such character assassinations have become the new go-to tactic of Western governments.

Thranholm is a Danish current events columnist who penned an opinion piece for Russia Insider in 2016, in which sheexplained her reservations about the EU’s current migrant policy and its inability to properly integrate Muslim migrants into European society. 

She had also written a piece for RT earlier in which she explained how the “spiritual vacuum” created by Western cultural nihilism is the core factor behind growing Muslim radicalization within the EU. 

She also criticized the EU’s unwillingness to recognize religion as a factor at all as just one indicator of this trend.

These and other comments earned the Danish journalist a spot on the EU’s East StratCom Task Force black list – a body set up in 2015 with the purpose of "collecting examples of pro-Kremlin disinformation articles" – not unlike American Senator McCarthy’s communist witch-hunt of the 1950s.

“Today, it is me who is on the list,” Thranholm says. “Tomorrow it could be a different journalist who has similar views. They claim that I’m damaging – doing harm – to the EU just for criticizing them. I criticized them for their immigration policy,” she says, adding that many people in Europe agree with her.

The Danish journalist argues that the EU’s mechanism for dealing with such dissenters 

“is to link the person with Russia, or claim that there are close ties between this person and Russia. And then, this person is just not trustworthy anymore – it’s a kind of character assassination.”

“It’s hard to believe that modern democratic Europe has ended up in some kind of totalitarian or semi-totalitarian democracy where our leaders have a special definition of what is democracy – and if you don’t agree with it, you will be put on the list. I think it’s very, very alarming and very disturbing,” she said.

Thronhalm has gone to great pains to explain that her views are not anti-Islamic. As she wrote for RT in 2015, “Secularism, relativism of values, materialism and democracy as a new religion (idolatry devoid of a deity) constantly prove their feeble inadequacy when facing Islamism.”

Foreign Minister Anders Samuelsen has recently defended her inclusion on the EU task force’s blacklist, saying she was promoting a “Kremlin narrative,” when prodded by Marie Krarup, who heads Denmark’s People’s Party and shares views similar to Thranholm’s. Thranholm later wrote that she was “appalled” at the minister’s conclusion that her inclusion on the list was justified, comparing the decision to one that would be taken by a “totalitarian Soviet state.” 

Danish minister alleges ‘Russia ready to attack hospitals, infrastructure & electrical supply’

Denmark’s Defense Minister Claus Hjort Frederiksen has launched a series of wide-ranging and grave accusations against Moscow, saying that it presents a “direct, very frightening and serious threat” against his homeland.

“We need to make clear to ourselves in Denmark that we are in danger, and we need to act upon this,” the center-right politician told the Danish Berlingske newspaper.

Frederiksen was asked to expound on his brief in the first extensive interview since the 69-year-old was appointed to his post in November last year. Instead, the politician, who previously served as minister of finance during two stints, spoke almost exclusively about Russia.

“State-supported Russian hacker groups are ready to attack hospitals, infrastructure and the electrical supply by breaking into computer systems and creating a mess of notices and treatments within the health system,” said Frederiksen, referring to a report published by the country’s intelligence agency last month, as well as conversations with other Western politicians and security officials.

And why would Russia target civilian infrastructure in a small country with which it shares no border? 
“To spread fear and insecurity among the population and paralyze our democracy.”

"It's a way to destabilize our countries and democracies in a very physical and tangible way, and this places an urgent demand on our resources to defend ourselves against such attacks,” said Frederiksen.

Frederiksen’s accusations echo those of US intelligence officials, who published a report last week, alleging that Russia ordered hackers to meddle in the US election, specifically by releasing emails related to Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. The Kremlin has repeatedly denied charges of interference.
