Last weekend about one thousand protesters gathered at the US airbase at Ramstein, Germany to protest the US military's use of drone warfare and demand that Germany withdraw from NATO - the organization that brought peace and security to Germany for nearly 70 years. Albrecht Müller, publisher of the anti-American Web site NachDenkSeiten addressed the protesters (see video below). Towards the end of his rather disjointed speech, Müller receives loud applause from the crowd when he praised his good friend Ken Jebsen:
Ken Jebsen is an independent "journalist" and conspiracy theorist who in 2011 was fired from his job as a radio host for his frequent anti-Semitic outbursts. He subsequently wrote the following note describing the Holocaust as nothing more than a PR stunt:
sie brauchen mir keine holocaus informatinen zukommen lassen. ich habe mehr als sie. ich weis wer den holocaust als PR erfunden hat. der neffe freuds. bernays. in seinem buch propaganda schrieb er wie man solche kampagnen durchführt. goebbels hat das gelesen und umgesetzt. ich weis wer die rassendatten im NS reich möglich gemacht hat. IBM mit hollerithmachinen. ich weis wer wärend des gesamten krieges deutschland mit bombersprit versorgt hat.standartoil also rockefeller.
("You needn't send me any information about the Holocaust. I have more than you. I know who invented the Holocaust as PR: Freud's nephew Bernays. In his book "Propaganda" he wrote about how one carries out such a campaign. Goebbels read it and practiced it. I also know who made the race data possible in the Third Reich: IBM with its "Hollerith Machines" (mechanical tabulators). I know who supplied Germany throughout the war with bomber fuel: Standard Oil -that is, Rockefeller.")
By joining forces with Ken Jebsen, Albrecht Müller demonstrates how the German far-left and far-right are united in anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism. Oh, and the demonstration received extensive coverage by the press - namely by the Russian propaganda outlet RT Deutsch.
John Swinton´s response to a toast in his honor
(If you don´t know who John Swinton was just use google)
There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it.
There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone.
The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press?
We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.
