Alwaght-Udo Ulfkotte (1960-?), a German journalist formerly at Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), 1986-1998, Ulfkotte lived in the Islamic states of Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Jordan.
Udo Ulfkotte is a famous German author, too, who has published many books that a book entitled Bought Journalism is the most important one among his books. In this book, he has mentioned the names of different German journalists and correspondents who were spy. He has revealed who are behind their measures. In fact, he stated that for whom journalists are working and how they are working for intelligence services. Since this book is a documentary one, no one can complain me, because everything is expressed with authentic evidences and based on available facts.
The aim of this book is to illustrate that there is no free media in Germany, despite a democratic propaganda. He believed that freedom in western media is an illusion, because there is a permanent right for figures in western media to leave some truth untold. A few months ago, correspondents did their best to prepare the public opinion for NATO war against Russia. They were writing, "We need more military forces to help our American forces, because Russia is bellicose and such lies. These are not correspondents' own words, but the words they have to say. If they do not do that, they are never promoted or they are not allowed to run an interview with political figures".
"Nothing scares me. I have had three heart attacks, so far. I am suffering cancer, because I was at Zobeyde village in Iran, as Saddam was attacking chemically to Iran. Nothing can scare me, because I was at wars and I have passed my age. I hope that the young journalists do not take the same way as mine in their lives", he told in an interview with Mashreghnews website.
He told mashreghnews "He said that I do not know why German officials do not go to Iran in order to apologize them because of donating chemical gas to Saddam. Surprisingly, they go to Israeli regime and plea them to forgive them for killing Jews with gas. More ever, they do not go to Tehran in order to ask Iranian people to forgive them for what they did against humanity by giving chemical weapon to Saddam, while Iraq-Iran war."
