I have the EU's full evidence dossier compiled by the @eu_eeas that was used to sanction me.
Not one word about Russia ties.

I literally have the proof that you are lying.

You have it too.
I'm not allowed to publish the document.
But you can.

What are you hiding?

Or are you creating new 'evidence' for damage control?

It took the German Foreign Office 1.5 months to make a statement on the EU sanctions against me. Poor attempt to change the narrative while criticism against Germany & EU is growing.

And—what a coincidence—they made their statement exactly one day after we filed our appeal.

Suprise. Suprise.
Not a single mainstream journalist in Germany has contacted me since I was sanctioned. Despite the large number of journalists at the government press conference, not one of them challenged the government using the information I've been sharing on social media for weeks. Only @FWarweg asked the glaring questions.
Why didn't any of the journalists in the room ask this question: Hüseyin Dogru is ONLY a German citizen, so why is the EU insisting he is Turkish?

As a German they couldn't sanction me like this.

If I was white, those journalists wouldn't be so nonchalant. They've fought harder for right-wing press before.Image

Only one journalist—Warweg—has asked critical questions about my case. The rest stay silent when truth hurts the government. All of them - young, naive and old ones- this silence lays the groundwork for censorship. Remember 1933’s "Schriftleitergesetz"—the parallels are here. Image
Meanwhile, Germany’s media foot soldiers — @tazgezwitscher , @Tagesspiegel & co.—sat silent for a month. Not a single article.
Now, after the Foreign Office speaks, they suddenly show up to parrot the state’s narrative.

You are the state-controlled media you claim to oppose. Image
Image
Without scrutiny, the EU and Germany are laying the groundwork for a censorship regime which will erase dissent before anyone notices.

Watch and listen to @ClareDalyIRL explain how the EU is creating a censorship mechanism tested on me—and how this will soon affect all journalists.

I Hate You, Germany - A poem by my wife 🧵

It’s not my problem
Raise your questions with them
At that time
In that place

Stay calm, be polite
But not too calm, not too polite
Don’t be suspicious
Complain directly
But correctly
Don’t pack your bags like that
Don’t pack them there
Pack faster
The cashier is waiting
Everyone is waiting

No one is rushing you

I am fine
I didn’t sigh loudly

Be quiet
Your children must be quiet

Or be somewhere else
Didn’t you read the note I put in your mailbox while you were away?

Your child can come to play
They can play
In another room
While we eat dinner

Don’t wait here
Don’t wait there

To be eligible
You have to come here

You missed the deadline
Because you were waiting over there

Everyone should read this part of the @EUCouncil lawyers’ reply to my appeal before the General Court: they explicitly state they are not obliged to demonstrate current links to Russia in order to impose severe sanctions on a person — including me for my journalism Image
You think that was the shocking part keep continue reading:

"the Council may rely on "any publicly available sources" and need not await the result of police investigations."

Read that again.

Newspaper reports and open-source material can be enough to trigger sanctions. Image
In other words, as in my case: if newspapers, trade unions, and journalists in Germany run a disinformation campaign against you — even one not grounded in facts — it can still be used as the basis for sanctions, even when the allegations are factually wrong.

!!! HUMANITARIAN EMERGENCY CALL !!!

As of yesterday, German authorities seized the bank accounts of my wife.

She is not sanctioned and has committed no crime.

As of now we have only ca. 104 euros left — with two newborn babies and one 7-year-old child!!!

The authorities’ reasons:

• We are married & have "three children together" — guilt by association

• She set up car insurance for our shared family car after my insurance was cancelled

Because of that I could control her accounts — and have therefore seized her funds. Image
Image
The reason the EU sanctioned me was my pro-Palestine journalism and my work exposing Europe’s complicity in the genocide — all of it masked as Russia-related sanctions. Image

Wie Desinformation funktioniert:

2025: Nicholas Potter: Red Media startet Hass-/Verleumdungskampagne gegen mich.

15.01.2026: Staatsanwaltschaft Berlin: Nö, stimmt nicht – Aussagen waren wahr.

20.03.2026: Potter @dtv_verlag: Ist uns egal, behaupten wir trotzdem.

@raph_schmeller @WittStahl @Jakob_Reimann @goldi @ReporterOG @djuverdi @FWarweg @JSNahostImage
Die Problematik ist nicht das Buch, sondern dass @dtv_verlag Potter dabei unterstützt hat, wissentlich unwahre Tatsachenbehauptungen zu verbreiten – mit möglichen strafrechtlichen Folgen. Das wirft Fragen zur Seriosität des Verlags auf. Image
Ich sehe viel Empörung über den Inhalt des Buches. Sie sollte sich jedoch gegen den Verlag @dtv_verlag richten, der einem rechten Propagandisten eine Plattform bietet, der die Ermordung palästinensischer Journalisten gerechtfertigt hat – und damit solche Positionen legitimiert.

As videos of Mexico’s cartels burning cities spread, here’s some context: this didn't emerge out of nowhere. The U.S. "war on drugs" and CIA-linked Cold War operations helped empower trafficking networks—funding militias and entrenching a drug trade that still destabilizes regions today.Image
During the 1950s, the anti-communist Kuomintang (KMT) forces had fled to Myanmar after losing the Chinese Civil War. To fund their fight against Mao’s China, the CIA facilitated their entry into opium trafficking. This helped to turn Myanmar into a major player in the global heroin trade.Image
CIA & Drug Enforcement Agency pilot Barry Seal trafficked cocaine for Pablo Escobar’s Medellin cartel, helping them grow their market position. The CIA deliberately allowed cocaine to be moved around in order to fund the anti-socialist Contras in Nicaragua. Image

It’s been almost 10 month since I was sanctioned for my pro-Palestine journalism & Reporters Without Borders Germany @ReporterOG hasn't replied to my email despite the obvious threat these sanctions pose to free speech in Europe.

Worse still, in its 2025 report the liberal NGO became an accomplice in the smear campaign against me, repeating the lie that my outlet red. ran a “defamation campaign” against a genocide-washing TAZ reporter.
If RSF cared about facts, it would've easily established that reporter initiated the campaign that led to my sanctioning, and that we merely defended ourselves using facts about his ties to Israel, taken exclusively from his own website.
