ECIPS Launches a Groundbreaking Investigation into Mainstream Media Corruption ” Money for Press” scandal!
President Ricardo Baretzky has announced that ECIPS has begun a formal, documented investigation into corruption within mainstream media. This comes after mainstream media attempted so censor the voices of the victims of South African farm murders that’s also been raised by President Donald Trump recently.
This investigation targets media organizations and personnel who accept “Money For Press” payments to publish content reflecting only specific narratives, thereby violating journalistic ethics, democratic principles, and international law.
Legal Basis for the Investigation
ECIPS grounds its investigation in the provisions of the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime (2001), particularly:
– Article 2 (Illegal Access):
Criminalizes unauthorized access to computer systems, which can extend to manipulating digital media platforms.
– Article 6 (System Interference):
Addresses interference with the functioning of information systems.
– Article 7 (Data Interference):
Pertains to damaging, deleting, or altering data, including misinformation campaigns.
– Article 10 (Content-related Offenses):
Covers offenses related to the dissemination of illegal content.
– Article 13 (Liability of Legal Persons):
Holds organizations accountable for offenses committed for their benefit.
The deliberate suppression or distortion of information through paid publications, coordinated to promote a single narrative, constitutes an “organized act of crime” under these provisions, as it involves systematic interference with information integrity and public discourse.
Furthermore, such behavior violates principles enshrined in European Union law regarding media freedom, transparency, and the right to information, as well as national laws against organized crime and corruption.
ECIPS’ Investigative Measures and Consequences
ECIPS is compiling a comprehensive list of media outlets and individual staff involved in these corrupt practices. This list will be made public after inclusion on the CYBERPOL Crime Watch List, an international registry monitoring cyber-related criminal activities.
Moreover, ECIPS may recommend the placement of implicated entities on the ECIPS Watch List, alerting national European intelligence agencies to monitor these actors closely. This measure aims to prevent further manipulation of public opinion and safeguard democratic processes.
The European Justice Department has confirmed that prosecutions are feasible if ECIPS or CYBERPOL present sufficient evidence of such criminal conduct, signaling a potential crackdown on media corruption.
The Significance of ECIPS’ Mandate and Independence
ECIPS’ authority to conduct this investigation derives from its unique legal status:
– Established by Royal Decree WL22/16.594, approved by King Philippe of Belgium.
– Governed by Treaty EST124 of the Council of Europe, which grants it international public utility status and privileges akin to intergovernmental organizations.
– Operates independently, with Article 30(bis) of its founding treaty explicitly forbidding staff from accepting instructions from any external government or institution, ensuring operational autonomy.
– Functions as a counterintelligence agency with a multidisciplinary mandate, including tackling organized crime, cyber threats, and information policy security.
This legal and operational framework empowers ECIPS to address complex security challenges without political interference, making its investigation into media corruption both credible and authoritative.
Broader Implications for European Security and Democracy
The ECIPS investigation into mainstream media corruption highlights a critical threat to European security and democratic governance:
– Manipulation of Public Opinion:
Paid narratives and selective reporting distort democratic debate, eroding citizens’ ability to make informed decisions.
– Undermining of National Security:
Media corruption can facilitate hybrid warfare tactics, spreading disinformation that destabilizes societies and interferes with political processes.
– Violation of Cybercrime Laws: Coordinated media manipulation constitutes a cyber-enabled organized crime, requiring robust legal and intelligence responses.
– Challenge to Media Freedom:
Genuine media freedom depends on pluralism and integrity; corruption threatens these foundations.
By exposing and prosecuting such corruption, ECIPS aims to restore trust in media institutions and protect the democratic fabric of Europe.
A Call for Transparency and Accountability
President Ricardo Baretzky’s experience with censorship and ECIPS’ subsequent investigation into mainstream media corruption reveal a troubling reality: powerful interests may manipulate information flows to maintain control, suppress dissent, and shape public narratives. However, the resilience and independence of ECIPS, backed by robust legal authority, offer hope for accountability and reform.
The unfolding investigation sends a clear message: media organizations and individuals involved in corrupt practices will be identified, monitored, and potentially prosecuted. This initiative not only defends the integrity of information but also strengthens democratic institutions and European security.
As ECIPS moves forward, the world watches closely. The censorship of a legitimate intelligence agency and its President may ultimately catalyze a broader reckoning with media corruption, ensuring that truth and transparency prevail over manipulation and silence.
President Ricardo Baretzky concluded: “Those who cites a single political narrative and those who make comments reflecting such narrative can at the same time easily be identified especially those with racial and or political Inclinations and put on the European NPR travel watch list to monitor their entry into European Union especially those citing with “Kill The Boer” inclined remarks”
