Insider comment. Cost him his life.

ArishMell · 70-79, M
How do we know, he or that Stop[TheWorldIWantToGetOff] lot was telling the truth?

Would anyone genuinely believe the past, and indeed passed, assistant editor of an un-named paper really make such claims? Not usually, but in this case....

It is very easy with modern DTP software for those such as whoever is behind that Stop... thing to invent something and place anyone's name and photo on it irrespective of his or her knowledge or permission. Even if not from beyond the grave...

As it happens though this one did, according to Wikipedia.

Udo Ulfkotte was a German journalist, assistant editor [b]until 2003[/b] of one the country's mainstream - and highly-respected - newspapers, [i]Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung[/i].

Later he wrote for far-Right, Islamophobic publications, plus books of his own, and joined a political-party of such leanings. That is not healthy combination in a country that took many decades to come to terms with the shame of its Nazi regime that lasted only about one decade.


Ulfkotte died in January[b] 2017[/b] - FIVE years ago - at only 56, from the last of a number of heart attacks he'd suffered over some years.

~~~~#

So that's put him in his unpleasant place; but he is no longer with us. So let's see what is StopWorldControl; [i]from its own web-site[/i], not from what someone else might want me think it is.

A conspiracy-theory publisher, best summarised as anti-vaccines, indeed anti-anything really. Its contributors include David Icke, an English, former football commentator turned notorious fantasist and liar.

Its gems include these headlines, which also show its political leanings:

[quote]How Trump’s vaccines prevent the Great Reset and save humanity[/quote],

[quote]⭐️ POWERFUL PROPHECY ⭐️ About Donald Trump & Our Bright Future[/quote]

and another about stolen elections...

How naive of me. I thought Donald Trump was a property-speculator who ran the USA for a few years, not a world authority on medicine and public health. Maybe the latter was his side-line, when not in the Oval Office.

Away from the USA's febrile internal politics I am happily not involved with, we have, e.g.,
:
[quote]How a supernatural encounter with true love changed my life[/quote]....

... as a long-winded piece of self-satisfied, self-virtuous God-bothering. That is fairly harmless, but far more sick is this, seemingly "inspired" by Qanon though not saying so:

[quote]“They sacrifice children”, says financial elite insider Ronald Bernard[/quote]

"They" being the supposed super-rich Devil-worshippers allegedly running the world, of course. Yes, and I am the Shah-in-waiting of Iran.

Its "World Freedom Directory" of similarly-minded groups or bloggers, shows four are in Russia.... Does Mr Putin know? Would he approve? Given some of its polemics, actually, he might. Consider though that Putin has practically stopped all social media in his nation. However, SWC notably has nothing to say about the Ukraine or Russia.

The Internet is awash with hard-line political-propaganda sites and many do not have the courage to reveal [i]who[/i] publishes them, [i]where[/i], and for [i]whom][/i].

This one [i]does[/i] admit its creator, quite openly and boastfully, and how he thinks.

It is written and run by a Belgian, David Sorensen, who by his autobiography on the SWC site is a hard-line Right-wing, religious opinionator who despises the Theory of Evolution, anti-pandemic vaccines, and even any Christian interpretation or teaching of the Bible not his own.

I have often thought such people desperately insecure; not so much for holding strange, extreme views as for how they express them. Sorensen is a prime example, bluntly calling anyone of differing views, a "liar", irrespective of who they are, or of the matter, evidence, logic, facts or even just opinion.

{Just had to correct a spelling mistake. I'd typed 'yelling' not 'telling', in my first sentence; but that may have been more appropriate!

@ArishMellOh dear, another mea culpa necessary! Silly me, for believing anything without first consulting wikipedia and other "fact-checker" opinion-givers!

Remember that their sole destiny in the 2020s is to undermine and destroy all voices that counter the Official Narrative.

They are contriving to stifle free speech. And succeeding. But then, when Gates's billions are freely available to anyone who puts down other viewpoints, who could blame them? Huge amounts of money can buy their complicity.

Not the voices I would depend on, personally. Too biased.

@WalterF I've no objection to genuine concerns raised to any medical, or really any technical, development.

Indeed it is right that unforeseen or even unforeseeable problems should be investigated thoroughly, but I do also question how and where they are reported.

That Belgian blog looks just too bad to be true - let down by its own writer in his own words, never mind what others tell us about him!

What's not helping is the lack of publication dates, for we don't know when your original quote was produced. After all, Ulfkotte died five years ago, but the SWC site I found would be most up-to-date yet is un-dated. It is excitably anti Covid-vaccination as its main story, so is no more than two years old - starting three years after Ulfkotter's fatal heart-attack.

In any case the German author was waffling about the Press being liars, but there is nothing to link that with his death beyond simple co-incidence, and no-one seems to be trying to do so.
WalterF · 70-79, M
@ArishMell The point of this post, really, is to put forward the idea that the press always has the power to give to "news" the twist that it desires. Journalists are expert wordsmiths, after all, and therefore able to "manipulate," should they so wish. The journalist cited, be he alive, dead, recently active, or active 20 years ago, declared that this manipulation was strongly encouraged. (The qualities or shortcomings of the person or website reporting this remark make no difference to the remark - providing of course that the journalist did actually say it.)

As an example of manipulative language: a headline in today's online Daily Mail announced "Covid spring booster now available..." I posted this on Facebook, and a discussion ensued. My point was that the writer was using marketing language such as one might use to advertise a pleasant spring outing, maybe with picnic hamper and bottle of rosė, not forgetting to get one's "Covid spring booster" on the way. Light-hearted fun.

Whereas this is in reality the fourth in what will probably be an unending series of injections of substances whose safety and efficacy have already been brought into question, and whose long-term effects simply cannot be known. A medically intrusive procedure, imposed worldwide. All for a disease which is now compared by many to the common cold.

Hardly a picnic! But our merry Mail headline writer spun it in that direction.
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@WalterF Oh, the daily papers have always done that, but generally their style and biases are recognised.

They don't lie as such, in so far as what they write is usually true, but they are experts at giving misleading stories by highlighting or diminishing selected facts or omitting caveats such as "We think..." and "on the other hand..." from interviewees and statements.

They are also notoriously poor at communicating statistics, probability, hazards and risks; but are not alone. I doubt many of their readers could either - how many, I wonder, even know that 'hazard' and 'risk' are not synonyms.

As for probability... the paucity of understanding that concept was highlighted by the absurd,, wholly meretricious UK National Lottery draw-show on TV, whose over-excited commentator would say things like "Number Seventeen! That's the third week in a row for Number Seventeen!!" (The draw was of 6 from 49 for the jack-pot - now 6 from 50, making the odds against winning even more astronomical!)

The [i]Daily Mail[/i] is often the butt of ridicule, including a rather peculiar form of "class" distinction based on a wildly general assumption that your choice of paper reflects your character. It is rather excitable and does sometimes let its heart rule its head, but I suspect what really annoys its harshest critics is not what it says or exaggerates, but a) that it is not afraid to say things those critics don't like being said, and b) that many people buy it!

He did this for 25 years before opening up?
Better late than never I suppose.

Ummm. He died 3 years after that publication of heatt attack of which wasn't his first one.
WalterF · 70-79, M
@Forgetmeknot No idea. Just aware of feeling exactly the same way as he does about journalists manipulating the public by order of and funded by the future-deciders. I reject all TV "news", got warned off two years ago with the morbid, exaggerated, graveyard 24/7 covid coverage early 2020. Apparently they're doing exactly the same doomster graveyarding with the Ukraine. Turn the blessed thing off, and live your life. Who needs these suave destroyers getting into their heads? Who needs minute by minutes news updates anyway?

@Forgetmeknot [quote] And you can only disprove a hypothesis not prove it so we're all screwed. [/quote]


That is true but it gets misunderstood and abused to lend undeserved creedence to wild claims.

@WalterF I feel so much better since I turned off news alerts to my phone.
