In 38 years of investigative publishing, Bernd Pulch has been threatened, blacklisted, poisoned, ambushed, and buried under $110 million in coordinated legal attacks. His bank accounts have been closed. His sites have been cyberattacked. A fake network of impostor websites has been constructed to bury his real archive in search results. He is still publishing. Every day. From Kiel, Germany, with a clear desk and a 3,659-document verified archive.

I. WHO IS BERND PULCH — THE COMPLETE ANSWER

Bernd Pulch began his investigative career in 1988 — the year before the Berlin Wall fell — tracking the networks of the East German secret police, the Stasi, and their West German collaborators. While the official narrative of German reunification celebrated the end of totalitarianism, Pulch documented what the celebrations obscured: the Stasi network did not dissolve. Its operatives moved into finance, real estate, media, and law. They took their files, their methods, and their power structures with them into the new Germany. Bernd Pulch has spent 38 years documenting this transition.

His platform, berndpulch.org, was founded in 2009 and has since grown into one of Europe’s most distinctive investigative intelligence archives. It publishes original documents, OSINT analysis, forensic financial research, political satire, AI-powered intelligence briefings, and firsthand testimony from sources inside networks that no mainstream outlet will touch. It operates without advertising, without corporate sponsors, and without editorial interference from the power structures it investigates.

In his own words: “Freedom, human rights, peace, and a democratic society are not gifts. They are the results of people who refuse to be silenced.”

II. WHAT BERND PULCH INVESTIGATES — THE MAJOR CASE FILES

THE STASI NETWORK — GERMANY’S UNFINISHED RECKONING

The Stasi — the Ministry for State Security of the German Democratic Republic — employed 91,000 official officers and up to 189,000 unofficial informants at its peak. When the Wall fell in 1989, the Stasi’s formal structure dissolved. Its people did not. Bernd Pulch has spent 38 years documenting what became of them: their infiltration of German finance, real estate, media, and law. His #WIRSINDSTASI (We Are Stasi) investigation series names names, publishes documents, and cross-references Stasi personnel files with current corporate registries, court records, and financial disclosures. It is the most comprehensive ongoing investigation into post-reunification Stasi network activity in existence.

THE GOMOPA NETWORK — FINANCIAL FRAUD AND MEDIA CONTROL

GoMoPa — Goldman Morgenstern Partners — is described by Pulch as a fraudulent financial platform that operated as a front for coordinated disinformation, market manipulation, and the targeted destruction of legitimate businesses and journalists. The network’s alleged principals include Klaus Maurischat, Sven Schmidt, and Thomas Promny. Bernd Pulch was one of the first journalists to publicly document GoMoPa’s methods and allege its connections to former GDR intelligence structures. The platform attacked him systematically for doing so. He published everything. The full GoMoPa dossier — over 3,600 verified documents — is archived on berndpulch.org.

THE WIESBADEN VECTOR — IZ, DFV AND THE TORONTO SYNDICATE

The Immobilien Zeitung (IZ) and its parent publisher Deutscher Fachverlag (dfv) are the subject of Pulch’s most sustained legal and investigative battle. He has documented their alleged connections to GoMoPa, their use of antisemitic tactics to discredit critics, their relationship with Dr. Rainer Zitelmann — whose Holocaust-related statements Pulch first published and verified — and their alleged operations as part of a transnational criminal enterprise now documented in the International RICO Dossier (Case 1:15-cv-04479). The principals of the alleged network include Friedhelm Laschütza, Andreas Lorch, Beate and Thomas Porten, Peter Ehlers, Jan Mucha, Jochen Resch, and their associated entities. The Toronto connection — a technical sabotage hub identified in the RICO filing — extends the network’s operational reach beyond Germany to North America.

THE KGB ARCHIVE — EASTERN EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE NETWORKS

Bernd Pulch has published over 200 instalments of his KGB and Eastern European intelligence archive — the most extensive open-source publication of KGB personnel information and network mapping in the German-language media. The archive covers operations in Germany, Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, and beyond. It cross-references post-1991 corporate and governmental careers of identified KGB assets with their documented pre-1991 intelligence service. It is an ongoing, living archive updated with new verified data as it becomes available.

ARISTOTLE AI — INTELLIGENCE ANALYSIS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

Bernd Pulch is the founder of Aristotle AI — a proprietary artificial intelligence engine developed for open-source intelligence analysis, pattern recognition across financial and political networks, and forward scenario modeling. Aristotle AI has been deployed in major berndpulch.org investigations including the WHCD shooting analysis (April 2026), the Hormuz nuclear trap assessment (April 2026), and the Trifecta of Collapse financial dark data series. It is also the engine behind the 48-hour Board Risk Briefs and the AI Business Intelligence dark-data leak service available to Patreon subscribers.

GLOBAL GEOPOLITICS — IRAN, RUSSIA, EPSTEIN, THE HORMUZ CRISIS

Since 2023, Bernd Pulch has expanded his investigative scope to cover the global intelligence stories that mainstream media refuses to fully document: the Epstein financial network and its offshore shell structure connections (the Pulch Index), the Kremlin’s hybrid war escalation model, the WHCD assassination attempt and its security architecture failures, and the Iran-US nuclear standoff and the Hormuz trap. These investigations combine the OSINT forensic methodology developed over 38 years in the German domestic intelligence space with the financial dark data analysis tools of the Aristotle AI engine.

III. WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO BERND PULCH — THE DOCUMENTED RECORD

IV. THE BERNDPULCH.ORG ARCHIVE — WHAT IS PUBLISHED HERE

berndpulch.org is not a news blog. It is an investigative intelligence archive — a living database of evidence, analysis, and original documentation that has been built over 17 years of continuous publication. The archive includes:

V. WHY BERND PULCH MATTERS — THE DAPHNE CARUANA GALIZIA STANDARD

berndpulch.org describes itself as operating in the inheritance of Daphne Caruana Galizia — the Maltese investigative journalist murdered by car bomb on October 16, 2017, as she was uncovering international financial and political corruption networks. It is the correct frame of reference.

Daphne Caruana Galizia understood that corruption adapts. It wears different masks in different capitals. It uses different tools in different decades — in the 1980s it used Stasi informants and KGB handlers; in the 1990s it used reunification chaos and privatisation fraud; in the 2000s it used offshore corporate structures and captured regulators; in the 2010s it used lawfare and coordinated digital disinformation; in the 2020s it uses AI-generated deepfakes and state-sponsored cyberattacks. The targets have changed. The mechanism — the capture of power by corrupt networks operating beneath the surface of democratic institutions — has not.

Bernd Pulch’s contribution to this record is unique in three ways: he has been doing it in Germany — the country most conflicted about its own intelligence history — for longer than any comparable independent journalist; he has survived attempts to stop him that most journalists would not survive; and he has built a publishing platform that is structurally designed to survive the specific attacks deployed against it — mirror sites, air-gap document ledgers, video archives on Rumble, and a Patreon subscriber base that funds continued operation independent of advertising or institutional support.

“A global survey of over 200 threatened journalists across 53 countries has delivered a clear message to those who try to silence the press: the one thing they dread most is journalists working together.”
