'REPORTERS WITHOUT HONOUR' - RSF

Henk Ruyssenaars

For years there have been complaints about 'Réportères Sans Frontières' and their abject political - non-journalistic - approach to past and present dangers and developments in international journalism. They've sold their honour!

Most probably it's their guilty consience: infiltrated and sold, that's what they are! This is my latest letter to 'Reporters without Borders':

Letter to the RSF (Reporters Without Borders) Editors.

Conc.: Your item d.d. 9 May 2005 - "Press freedom fears put to George Bush and President Barroso ahead of Moscow visits - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/bbmsw

L.S.

After reading your RIGHTFULL complaint about the Freedom of the Press in Russia, the same ungood feeling crept upon me as usual, when nowadays dealing with the RSF.

Why did RSF ask George Bush to complain to Putin?

Bush himself has succeeded in killing most of the freedom of the press in the United States, and tries to do the same in all countries which are dependent on the US and it's neocon government's despicable mainstream media?

Read what Molly Bingham - a very well known and respected US journalist/photographer writes at present, about how afraid she even has to be for her own government because she has been trying to do 'solid journalism' writing about the illegal war in Iraq! - Article: ''Home from Iraq - Journalist urges Americans to search for truth, freedom' - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/b34pt

I have - based on more than forty years of experience as an independent reporter - a very bad feeling about the course RSF has taken the past years, and it is my conviction that RSF - through infiltration and via other sources and means - has become a mouthpiece for certain US/Israeli groups which commit crimes against humanity.

To take just one example: in the whole of the Netherlands not a single independent newspaper is left: they're all in foreign multinational hands.

The so called 'National Dutch News Agency' - ANP - is owned by the multinational 'Fentener van Vlissingen' and forks out information that fits the multinationals.

Since March 14th 2005 ALL 'news' and similar information for the whole public radio and TV information system is in the hands of ONE man: Hans Laroes.

In the Netherlands people know 'Lackey Laroes' as the man who has made the 'Journaal' TV broadcast - which people have become used to - one of the worst government and multinational mouthpieces ever.

Still - according to RSF - Holland is some kind of ''Flagship of Press Freedom''?

I got a chance to - independently - work in Holland for some years now, after living and working abroad as an independent correspondent for more than forty years.

Let me put it like this: whatever some people here in Holland tell you:

NO there is no real freedom of the press.

NO. I do NOT know any critical journalists which have a job, or even a chance to get one.

And yes, I believe that politics and wrong influences - including from propaganda machines and secret services - is wrecking the work you did better before.

If you don't agree with me, pls do give me some
arguments explaining why I'm wrong.

If you remain silent however, I'll send text and a follow up to the 450.00+ members of the International Journalist Federation (IFJ).

Awaiting your reply, I meanwhile remain,

Henk Ruyssenaars

HR: It's a pity, I never got an answer. The fact that they don't answer speaks for itself.

And Yes; the letter was sent to all members of the 'International Journalist Federation' mentioned above.

I wonder what the 'Reporters without Borders' -collaborators will say, when they stand trial in the Hague at the International Crime Court, for 'guilt by assocciation' , supporting and advocating all the present war crimes?

The followers of Nazi propaganda 'Meister' Joseph Goebbels were hanged at Nuremberg for this way of working. Capital punishment by the way, is lowering oneself to the standard of the criminal murderer; by murdering other human beings too.

We'll report on those 'Reporters without Honour'!
