Udo Ulfkotte says all major media networks controlled by CIA. Udo Ulfkotte, a former editor of Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, one of the largest newspapers in Germany, admits he worked for the CIA. “I’ve been a journalist for about 25 years, and I’ve been educated to lie, to betray, and not to tell the truth to the public,” Ulfkotte told Russia Today. “I was supported by the Central Intelligence Agency, the CIA. Why? Because I am pro-American.” He decided to tell the truth about corporate media controlled by the financial class because he fears war in Europe. “The German and American media tries to bring war to the people in Europe, to bring war to Russia. This is a point of no return, and I am going to stand up and say… it is not right what I have done in the past, to manipulate people, to make propaganda against Russia.” Ulfkotte said most corporate media journalists in the United States and Europe are “so-called non-official cover,” they work for an intelligence agency. “I think it is especially the case with British journalists, because they have a much closer relationship. It is especially the case with Israeli journalists. Of course with French journalists. … It is the case for Australians, [with] journalists from New Zealand, from Taiwan, well, there is many countries,” he said. Operation Mockingbird CIA subversion of the corporate media is well documented. Beginning in 1948, former Wall Street lawyer Frank Wisner, as the director of the Office of Special Projects (soon to become a division of the CIA), established Mockingbird, an operation designed to convert the corporate media into a propaganda vehicle for the financial elite. Wisner enlisted Philip Graham of The Washington Post to run the operation and recruit journalists, many who worked for military intelligence during the Second World War. “By the early 1950s, Wisner ‘owned’ respected members of the New York Times, Newsweek, CBS and other communications vehicles,” writes Deborah Davis in her book, Katharine the Great: Katharine Graham and the Washington Post. By 1953 the operation was run by CIA director Allen Dulles and held sway over virtually every large corporate news organization, including The New York Times, Time and Life magazines, and television news, particularly CBS News under the leadership of William Paley. In addition to newspapers and television news networks, the CIA controlled Hollywood and movie production. “CIA files document additional cover arrangements with the following news gathering organizations, among others: the New York Herald Tribune, Saturday Evening Post, Scripps-Howard Newspapers, Hearst Newspapers, Associated Press, United Press International, the Mutual Broadcasting System, Reuters and The Miami Herald,” Carl Bernstein, the renowned Watergate journalist, wrote in a Rolling Stone article in 1977.
