Insider comment. Cost him his life.

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!
