He is considered a disseminator of disinformation such as demonstrably false claims, conspiracy theories and Russian government propaganda. He has been running the Anti-Spiegel blog since 2018 and works with the Russian state broadcaster RT DE.
According to a Russian media report from 2003, Röper completed his studies in banking and insurance at the Christian-Albrechts University of Kiel in 1994 and worked in the insurance industry from 1994, mostly in Russia from 1998.

Röper also participates with his blog in various program formats on the conspiracy ideology internet portal NuoViso/NuoFlix. According to Belltower.News, the enemy of his "Anti-Spiegel" is the magazine Der Spiegel. The magazine stands for the "established mainstream media" and the " lying press".
