Discussion on Media Influence and War

I take some hope from the fact that I was there.

I know what we did. I know what we did to Europe.

I know how painstakingly the agency,

CIA, how painstakingly SIS,

MI6,

and to a certain extent Mossad, though they weren't i- in the

beginning willing partners, they became partners because they saw how

much

money was going into it.

How we, i- in this Asian scholar's words, "Taught

the dogs to bark."

We bought newspaper editors, we bought labor union

heads, we bought parliamentarians, we bought

two secretaries general, Jens Stoltenberg and Mark Rutte.

We bought whole countries in terms of their political

apparatus and what influences them.

Starting in 2002, really putting the rubber to the

road, as in billions of dollars to the CIA

and others.

USAid was an instrument. They weaponized liberal

democracy. Uh, in that respect, I supported what Trump

and Rubio did to USAid to the extent that they were getting rid of

the people underneath who did that sort of thing.

I didn't support their getting rid of the, uh, bureaucrats at the top.

But

we created the Europe that exists right now on purpose.

And now we're paying the piper for that, I think, because

it's gonna take another six to 12, maybe 18 months to

get rid of some of these people. And the parliaments,

God knows how long it's

gonna take to get rid of the people there.

We painstakingly crafted Europe

in the image

we wanted.

Well, I, I've been a journalist for about

25 years, and I was educated to lie, to

betray, and, uh, not to tell the truth to

the public. But seeing right now within the last

months how, how far, um,

uh, how, how the German and American media tries to bring war to

the

people in Europe, to bring war to Russia, uh, th- this

is a point of no return. And I, I stand n- I, I'm

going to stand up and say, um,

it is not right what I have done in the past, uh, to m-

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, uh, 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, uh,

war is n- never coming from itself.

There is always people behind it to push for war.
