But then, he co-founded a Christian peace-movement against the Islamic extremism emerging in Germany. And now, he has come out with a book which argues that the U.S. is actually the biggest of all threats to peace. The book is available only in German, Gekaufte Journalisten, meaning "Purchased Journalists."
Now that he has abandoned not just the anti-Islamic but the anti-Russian elements of traditional German culture, he no longer is welcomed among the conservative Germans who had helped him to build, and then, for decades, to advance, his successful long career as a 'journalist,' but which he now calls "propagandist."
He is, perhaps, a German equivalent to America's Kevin Phillips, the former Nixonian (inventor of "the Southern strategy") who then became a critic of the very same aristocracy he had previously so well served while in office under Nixon.
Extensive other, independent, evidence, backs up Ulfkotte's claim that the CIA is (and even that its predecessor the OSS actually was) essentially fascist. It was, in fact, set up by U.S. fascists; the CIA recruited especially anti-Russian nazis, throughout eastern Europe, and it directed European governments to work for Russia's destruction. Examples of such evidence are this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and this.
Consequently, there is no sound reason to doubt what Ulfkotte says: his narrative instead fits into a much broader documented picture, of U.S. oligarchically-led global fascism from behind the scenes, which systematically deceives publics throughout the industrialized countries, and produces wars that America's aristocrats want: made-to-order and profitable wars (such as see this).
There also is a recent flurry of other news articles on the current consequences of that decades-long history, such as this, and this, and this, and this. The first three of those current examples come from Germany, just as does Ulfkotte's own testimony. Moreover, a German poll in November 2013 showed increasing public distrust there of America's government. Since Germany is central to the Western Alliance -- and especially to the American aristocracy's control over the European Union, over the IMF, over the World Bank, and over NATO -- such a turn away from the American Government threatens the dominance of America's aristocrats (who control our Government). A breakup of America's 'Alliance' might be in the offing, if Germans continue to turn away from being just America's richest "banana republic."
However, U.S. President Obama is attempting to ward off that possibility, by placing America's international corporations directly in control, above and beyond any laws by democratically elected governments: international fascism that's beyond any nation-state. Harry Reid (and his power via Democratic control of the U.S. Senate) has been the main stumbling-block against Obama's getting that (Obama's mega international-trade deals) passed into law. (Congressional Republicans are overwhelmingly supportive of this Obama-initiative.)
Thus, if Democrats lose the Senate in November's elections, Obama's plan to achieve ironclad control over the public, handing America's aristocracy yet another increase in their power, will be well within his reach; he'll probably call it "bipartisan," even though the vast majority of Democrats don't want it.
