Useless Media ‘On January 13, journalist and author Udo Ulfkotte, who spoke out about mainstream and fake news, reportedly died from a heart attack. Ulfkotte had been an editor at the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Ulfkotte published a book explaining how the CIA had a hand on every significant journalist in Europe, which effectually 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. Ulfkotte recently went on public television stating that he was forced to publish the works of intelligence agents under his own name, adding that noncompliance with these orders would have resulted in him losing his job.’
