They have complete, regional, lingual, and digital control over most information.

"lingual"? No they do not have complete control over information.. especially information carried through personal speech.

Ulfkotte was currently researching the topic of criminal misconduct of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and contacted various independent journalists and bloggers about it. One of them, computer scientist & blogger Hadmut Danisch, received this request just two days before Ulfkotte's death.

(fucking autotranslate: "he has just eaten me" should be "he has just e-mailed me")

Interestingly enough Ulfkotte was blocked by Facebook earlier the same day (two days before his death) without any reason given.

Day of his death was a Friday the 13th, which also proves nothing but is a highly important date for those who research "secret society/illuminati/Templar" topics (Friday, 13 October 1307 was the day Philip IV of France arrested Jaques de Molay and 60 other Knight Templars)

Update

Another coincidence is this: Ulfkotte was a former long time top-journalist with the prestigious Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) who fell into disgrace after he openly accused basically everyone of rank in German media, including himself, of having been not much more than mouthpieces of CIA propaganda.

Just two years earlier, on 12 June 2014, Frank Schirrmacher , co-publisher of the FAZ and internationally acclaimed public intellectual also died suddenly - also from a heart condition, also at a relatively young age of 55 (Ulfkotte was 57). Like Ulfkotte, Schirrmacher was in the process of falling from public grace, since he touched on higly sensitive topics, namely dangerously low birthrates, anti-family propagganda, recent German history and the dangers of a totally computer-networked for society.

So, lots of parallels between those two, way too many to be comfortable. Looks almost as if it's bad for your health if you leave the overton window as a high profile European thinker.

And those aren't the only top-contrarians who died young and under weird circumstances in Europe or Germany over the last couple of years.

Interesting. The comments on the amazon book page say that there were plans to publish the book in english, but were shelved.
