Political satirist CJ Hopkins facing criminal prosecution
The Berlin Prosecutor’s Office has charged political satirist (and frequent OffG contributor) CJ Hopkins with:
“disseminating propaganda, the contents of which are intended to further the aims of a former National Socialist organization,”
The charge relates to CJ’s promotion of his 2022 book The Rise of the New Normal Reich, which has already been banned by Amazon in several European countries, and the cover art of which features a swastika:
The book is a work of political satire warning against the rise of fascistic government all around the world – and especially in Germany – during the “pandemic”.
According to a post on CJ’s substack, if found guilty he faces “imprisonment for not more than three years or a fine.”
Needless to say, OffG supports CJ 100%.
On principle we stand against any prosecution for simply sharing a photograph, fact or opinion – it is the very antithesis of free speech.
Moreover, in this instance, it is also entirely dishonest. Nobody who knows anything of CJ’s work would ever consider for a second he would promote fascism, and nobody who read so much as the title of his book could possibly mistake its true meaning.
Obviously, simply using the imagery of the swastika is not de facto promoting fascism, just ask literally hundreds of books and films through the decades.
Clearly this is nothing to do with so-called pro-Nazi propaganda, and everything to do with shutting down criticism of Germany’s mask-mandating, vaxx-pushing government.
A government that has resorted to using hypocritical faux-morality to smear its critics. punish dissent and attempt to intimidate other potential critics into keeping their mouths shut.
Ironically enough, this is entirely fascistic.
The prevention of this kind of abuse of power is the EXACT REASON free speech protections were signed into law in the first place.

I learned him from here, he is obviously a person who loves freedom, political and otherwise, a conscious antifascist. The guise of the accusation is to ensure the silence and compliance of the middle class who flatter themselves as being the epitome of progress, while letting maccarthyism and conservative hypocritical morality enter through the backdoor
CJ Hopkins is a well-informed & extremely intelligent human being who unlike those GOOD AS DEAD VACCINATED MFZ does not lack a sense of humour.
May the force Be With You, CJ Hopkins. Only you had me laughing at the girl from Schindler’s List while stupid MFZ were fuckin with my head about a nonexistent virus.
A big thank you & warm hug to the wonderful man from this site who directed me to :-www.radiationdangers.com
Happy Midsummer, yall!
CJ’s book “The Rise of the New Normal Reich“,is NOT banned on Amazon.
hero to the not so wise.This Andrew Bridgen character received thousands of pounds in services from Laurence Fox’s Bad Law Project. This includes “media support”, “speech writing” and “social media strategy”, all following Bridgen’s infamous Holo******t tweet in January.
With the above nothing surprises me and one cant rule out a PR stunt to increase CJ’s books sale and profile.
What is the link between Andrew Brigden and CJ Hopkins? I think the articles written by CJ Hopkins that I have read here on Off Guardian are very good. I am not a fan of Brigden’s new party. They seem , inter alia, to be overly hostile to the people who arrive in the boats to me. However I think that Brigden has been great in asking questions about Covid and all matters linked to it. He has been standing up for civil liberties. I thought that his statement about the vaccine policy and the holocaust was fine on free speech grounds ( and maybe on other groudns)- whether it was appropriate or not doesn’t matter. Isn’t there a right to offend?
I could be wrong. One thing for sure is Brigden is about as real as a nine bob note talking 3 years out of date to set up a new political party and probablely gets a job on shilb news doing the idiot tour of duty on the not so wise MIC Conservative alt media clown circuit.
Contrived.
We should receive the “criminal charges” as a huge victory” in and of themselves, arguably. Viscerally, that’s how I absorbed them: the very act of needing to take all of the past three years as their time frame to blink at Mr. Hopkins and his studied smirks is a de facto acknowledgement of the validity of his many challenges. Otherwise, why else, and why now? I just finished last week, more or less in one gulp, Robert Harris great historical surrealism, or perhaps we should call it, super-realist historical novel, “An Officer and a Spy” (in the acknowledgments he credits Roman Polanski and his suggestions to him about 10 years or go or so, as the seminal hints that began his undertakings about “l’Affaire Dreyfus” and its many intersections, still, with current “Alsatian” interests, if not global, French, and German); 130 years later). For what it’s worth, as a personal… Read more »
Unbelievable. So sad, Germany has gone full-blown fascist, again.
Perhaps, like USA Inc., they have mostly been that way all along, while veneers of hope & feel-goodiness have been applied intermittently.
Those “veneers” are quite useful for the rogues “who run the joint” (or surely think they do) in much the same way for them as is “under cover of darkness.” Twin tools!
As Jack London titled his classic challenge, “The Iron Heel” (of Oligarchy) “the more things change the more they stay the same.”
His point, too. That is the real deception that must be finally, absolutely, exposed, relentlessly, if we are to “stand a chance.”

I also support the book 100% and the freedom CJ should have to publish it. But are we really talking about censoring the content of the book? Or, are we talking about the fact that German law was violated by publishing the swastika on the cover?
I am unsure if using the symbol on the cover was a good idea to begin with, given the fact CJ knows it would most likely produce this response from the German government. The title is very telling, impactful on its own, without the swastika there.
I feel it is not about censoring the content of his book. It is not about curtailing freedom of speech.
It is about the symbol used on the cover which EVERYONE knows is against the law in Germany (and many other EU countries). Especially if you live there.
but it shouldn’t be against the law if you believe in free speech ( I don’t think it can be against the law anyway from what I understand of German law)
Not a matter of free speech. The content of CJ’s book is not in question from the German courts. Just the cover.
I try not to argue with BTL commenters, either on my own websites or here, because I figure I have already had my say, but I am sick of idiots repeating this lie. Yes, of course the displaying of swastikas is banned in Germany if it supports the aims of Nazis, but it is permitted for the purposes of “civic education, countering anti-constitutional activities, art and science, research and education, coverage of historic and current events,” and similar purposes, according to German law, as I have pointed out, ad nauseam. https://cjhopkins.substack.com/p/the-rise-of-the-new-normal-reich-b88
But the question is not ‘if you are allowed’ for the reasons you stated. But ‘was it really necessary’ to include the symbol on the cover? Did it REALLY enhance the message of the CONTENT of the book so much?
And, CJ, don’t be a prick. As someone who supports your book (and you) and your right to publish it, you need not be offended. It was an honest question. Was the symbol necessary? That was it. So far you have not answered the question. Did that fucking thing really add to your book so much you would want to face prosecution?
You know what is sad? You put your whole story out on Twitter, the whole fucking internet, want sympathy and help, but block people who support you 100%.
Really?
Your case is NOT one of free speech. The Germans are NOT censoring the content of your book – people need to realize that. This is not about freedom of speech. It is about you putting that stupid symbol on the cover when it was not necessary.
Craig Murray was jailed for revealing names in a court case (which he didn’t but he de facto accused Nicola Sturgeon and her pals of stitching up Alex Salmond).
Alex Belfield was jailed for ‘stalking’ BBC employees but more likely for ridiculing the plandemic, the government and the police. Also for being right wing and tabloid.
I really appreciated his Covid work but Hopkins, an American is accusing the modern German state of behaving like Nazis. Possibly an unwise thing to do.
Its Mr Hopkins problem imo.
Especially as the USA is the Protectorate and I read moons ago Germany’s everyday public communities may request the Reich Symbols removed out of view from Street levels.
It’s like requesting a well done ‘burnt’ over bloody steak at an outdoor barbecue, surrounded by Veggies arguing over organic Brussel Sprouts. imo

Perhaps unwise, given what we – and he – knew very well about how the past three years had gone, especially in Germany (and Australia, Austria, Canada, New Zealand,…), however, it needs to be said that governments were using authoritarian, even fascist/communist – same bloody thing – tactics, such as force and thuggery, exclusion of sections of the population and lies and manipulation on the people.
Just one look at the cover photo would tell anyone that Hopkins is not promoting but condemning government implemented measures he likens to the national socialism era of Germany.
I am a german and, actually, the german state really acts as a nazi.
I do not like to say so, but it is, IMHO, the thruth.
What about the rest of the ‘ free West’? What about Julian Assange? Nazis everywhere if you ask me ( in terms of oppressive actions of the state)
Assange was CIA. And is…
Perhaps they are just better at “acting” now? I know a lot of young Germans, and I think many sincerely regretted the role the country was forced to play, and probably continue to regret much of the German state. As I do, in “Amerika”. (Franz Kafka’s great novel!)
I think the American litmus test for Nazism is an assignment to the U.S. Senate and the appointment of your children and grandchildren to the chief executive, presidential, office.
Of course, a Nazi might find themselves rewarded with a directorial appointment at the CIA, or an executive position at the Federal Reserve or World Bank.
Prosecute these fucks for putting Nazi symbols on materiel donated by the EU.

Germany itself uses a modern version of the Iron Cross on its tanks currently. The new NATO battlegroup based in Slovakia uses the German Iron Cross as the man symbol on the patch (along with small flags of participating countries). So, in fact, they are ALL Nazis.
The good news regarding Germany according to real journalists such as Alastair Crooke is that a solid majority of the people are becoming fed up with their Luciferian Overlords, formerly Young Global Leaders, government. The AfD now enlists 22% of Germany’s electorate, making it tied for second for all of Germany’s political parties, and the fascist Green Party, formerly the dealmaker, is plummeting like a stone. Hopefully the remaining Greens will glue themselves to a wall and no one will come to release them. The AfD is now campaigning for early elections which would reflect their new strength. As an anarcho-libertarian, I do not hold any faith or respect for government in general, but these are encouraging signs.
but the AFD are Muslim bashers and enemies of free speech. They don’t like people who are not ‘ Western’ whatever that means. I really don’t see how this is good news. Replacing globalists who believe in suppressing free speech by nationalists who believe in suppressing free speech.
What are your news sources?
posts of Bjoern Hoecke, Alice Weidel and Joern Keonig, all Afd MPs, the first two ofcourse are very prominent ones
For sure you prefer toread Habeck, Baerbock and, first of all, Lauterbach…
You stand of illustration is impresive !
Western means respecting western values – i.e liber values and secularism. Something that muslims aren’t know for. So there absolutely correct in this instance. Islam should have no place in Germany or Europe in general
I don’t agree that secularism is Western. Even it is was, why don’t the Afd criticize other religions. Christianity comes from the Middle East any way as does Judaism.
There should be a difference between the right (a) to entertain a delusional belief and (b) to impose your delusion on society.
Who is imposing their delusion on society?
Pls remember the worst side Salafism is invented and imposed by West (UK). So……? This must be also part of Western “values” yes??
Please explain
But there are moves to ban the AfD party…. I wonder how that’s going.
Well. Nazis allways try to prohibite “dangerous” parties 😉
I wonder what the vote was from EU/Germany in relation to the UN vote on the ‘Glorification of Nazism’?
I wonder who abstained and voted against it. I’m sure the Americans would vote against it on the grounds of ‘Free Speech’.
If you’re referring to the Ukraine thing, the US did indeed vote against the motion, but not because of free speech concerns: https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/us-ukraine-vote-against-anti-nazism-unga-resolution

This ‘fraudulent conversion’ has been the foundational deception for a very long time.
It is time for off-guarding to understand that the „Nazi” label should not be considered as an acceptable way of silencing different opinion. Not even when Putin is using it.
“Ya Vol”
“Support the Troops.”
“Support the Nazi Assassin Terror Outfit.”
Btw do you think there were never any pictures of Allied troops shooting innocent people in a similar fashion? Don’t you think these pictures exist but you will never see them? The victors rewrite the history books not the vanquished.
I would say that in the current times the victors are the WEF and Big Brother.
Calling somebody a Nazi is also protected by free speech. Please consider that Putin is not in any position to censor Ukrainian publications, public parties, etc., but that doesn’t mean he has no right to share his opinions on them. As far him (i.e., the Russian government) censoring parties and publications for being Nazis inside Russia is concerned, I do oppose that.
I see and hear people calling others “commies” here, there and everywhere forever and nobody has a problem with that, or any prohibitions, at all. (I got called one, inaccurately, in front of a store 11years ago, then “coincidentally” beat up by 3 sheriff deputies a few weeks later, a few blocks away, a novel experience.)
Hmmmm, I smell a lot of Double Standard in all these oddities. If it walks like a goose-stepping duck, quacks like a goose-ste…. etc etc
I used the phrase “arbeit mach frei” ironically back then, with a German overhearing us, and he went on a tirade. It took a while to calm him.
Difficult things to address. Is the only answer, not to? Historically?
Germans were “reeducated”.
No coincidence, he went out of himself.
They cannot thing out of the box they were put in, in school and society in general.
Nietszche complained about that too.
How did Goethe put it, so well? ~
“…Ängstliches Klagen
Wendet kein Elend,
Macht dich nicht frei.

Zum Trutz sich erhalten,
Nimmer sich beugen,
Kräftig sich zeigen,
Rufet die Arme

If it’s any encouragement, Dr Bhakdi was recently acquitted in a German Court for his alleged, but obviouly not, ‘antisemitic remarks’.
It is going to the appellate court.
Dr. Bhakdi said he believed the yoos have been skimming off the scum of the public coffers a little too long and a little too much, with their eternal whining and yelling about their 80 years old siks million case.
Enough is enough, and a spade is a spade. The Court said this was certainly not anti anything, but about time somebody said it.
I don’t think that that is what Bhakdi said at all from what I read. I’ll try to find it again. I thought he said something very sensible about how it was wrong to force people to take vaccines without a proper justification
I presume CJ has quit Berlin?
Why? I don’t think he will be any safety anywhere in the ‘ free West’.
Where should he go? Canada? Australia? New Zealand?
ON that note…
any chance that some of my
dangerouscomments can be released from pending verification prison 😂 .After WWII Germany did a huge job in their schools and universities to make students aware of any signs of fascism, really a splendid job.
Sad to see this work been broken down so rapidly and then back to old hail school.
Anyway, off course our fully support to CJH.
The problem with indoctrinating children into recognising fascism is that now they see nazis everywhere and also learned to hate their fatherland. No wonder that they are busy committing cultural suicide
which according to you is a culture which is secular and yet only bashes Islam??? The C in the name of the party which governed Germany for years ( CDU) stands for Christian. Where did you get thie idea that the ‘ West’ is secular? God Bless America doesn’t sound very secular to me
It’s not so much that they suddenly see nazis everywhere but that Germany, precisely because of their post-war re-education / denazification efforts, have become virtue signallers supreme.
Sure but why not? Germans are vulnerable to this old wound. They asked themselves how could we do it, how could we even think about it, and how can we prevent that to happen again.
I dont see any problem with that attitude. Most Germans I know are fine people, hard working, and intellectual competent.
But their leftist as always here Die Grune is a political pain in their society’s arse.
but what about Jackie Walker’s comments about the ‘ African holocaust’? ( Jackie Walker who was kicked out of Labour)Even though free speech is restricted now, you can still see a Spiegel documentary on youtube about WW2. ( made when Spiegel talked sense). Were the Allies fine upstanding people with good morals? What were their motivations? Spiegel makes a good case for saying that Churchill just wanted to keep the British Empire. The USA, the UK’s closest ally, had what could be called its very own set of Nuremberg laws in many states ( no marriage with non whites and segregation). France also had racist laws in its North African colonies. What about Enoch Powel’s ‘ Rivers of Blood ‘ speech?
Are approaching that point where the governed people of the world transition from sheep to tigers?
If only!

I met lots of Germans whilst backpacking in the 1980’s.
Most were really nice people and some had a wicked sense of humour.
But there was a dark side. A German man aged 25 – 28 told me a “joke”
“Why were the Jewish children standing on the chimney?
Waiting for their parents to come up it.”
I found the fact that he would even dare to share this with anyone bizarre, let alone a Brit.
? It’s a sick joke. Have you really never heard a sick joke in Britain? ( or anywhere else for that matter)
He probably has but it does not invalidate his observation of what he encountered in Germany.
No he is saying that the German has a dark side because he told him a sick joke. I am saying that you can hear sick jokes in Britan and that they are very common..so it’s not right to say that the Germans have a dark side on the basis that one of them told him a sick joke.
The British are prime in sick jokes, prime.
Here is British John Cleese continuing stepping in the porridge with sick jokes about the WWII in front of Germans who suffer from post traumatic disorder because of the same. Horrible.https://youtu.be/o1XOjmbQ-Oo
If you have time, please read the joke below about the Russian who was eaten by the shark. Maybe you think I’m horrible? Obvioulsy it depends on the joke but I think sick jokes are not made up to be horrible, they’re made up to give you a shock
.I think that that joke about the shark is howlingly funny (and I’m not a Russian basher and I would rather that Putin won the ‘ Ukraine war’ than Zelensky)
You’ve met a (Neo) Nazi. A real one.
Here’s a sick joke about the Russian tourist who was eaten by a shark. I feel very sorry for the man, I’m not anti-Russian but I did think that the sick joke was very funny .( it took me ages to get it) I guess it’s not just the Germans who have a ‘ dark side’ ? ( I’m only joking ofcourse about the Germans having a dark side. You used to hear sick jokes everywhere before we all started getting censored. …altho’ it seems to me that sick jokes where Russians and the Chinese are the butt of the jokes are permissible currently in the ‘ free West’. Humour ofcourse is an individual thing but I thin kthe reason why I find some sick jokes funny is the shock I feel when I finally get it) https://twitter.com/Sputnik_Not/status/1667057282570502144
In Australia, our darling police officers often share sicko Aboriginal “jokes”. How do I know? I was once partnered with a cop.
What are you saying? Are you saying I am subconscioulsy anti-Russian because I think the joke about the shark is funny?
It was a female shark. You can see it on the slit. She wanted to marriage the poor guy.
I have a really sick joke, the best sick..
“Why are blacks always buried in coffins with two handles?”, “Have you maybe ever seen a trash bin with six handles”,
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.that joke was so funny man.
so you think I hate Russians? ( subconsciously). I also think this joke is funny ‘ Why do women wear makeup and perfume?’ ‘ because they are ugly and they smell’. I think it’s funny. The joke is not to be nasty to women ( really) , it’s to give you a shock
Here’s THE BOX.
You MUST NOT think outside of it!!
Fortunately nobody told Nietzsche and Goethe the same thing, or German culture would have been greatly diminished.
In Germany, thinking outside the box is permitted, except dissent on (a) what happened before and after 1945 (b) covid (c) the current energy mess.
Thinking outside is permitted, except where it’s not. 😉
The thing is: CJ HOPKINS can be arrested and jailed. CJ Hopkins cannot.
JULIAN ASSANGE can be arrested and jailed Julian Assange cannot.
When are we going to see through the bxxxxxxt.
Maybe burning his book could be an option? If I recall correctly Germans have a fondness for this sort of thing.
They burned Hirschfeld’s books promoting trangender stuff. That burning hasn’t stopped Creepy Joe and the world government from proposing the chemical and surgical neutering of children. Are you relieved about that ?
Julian Assange’s impriosonment, the banning of RT, the banning of allowing Sinn Fein to speak on TV in the 1980s are all manifestations of ‘ book burning’ thinking
C. J. Hopkins is an award-winning playwright, novelist, and political satirist.
This is rather akin to a condom manufacturer being charged with ‘promoting irresponsible sexual conduct, leading to a population explosion’. I find it amazing that Mr Hopkins’ accusors ‘know what his intentions were/are’. Have they actually asked him, have they actually read his book, have they read his articles, have they allowed him to answer their questions in a free forum of ideas exchange?? Well, if they have, it’s going to be an absolute joke watching a bent prosecutor, a bent judge and no doubt controlled MSM play out their parts in a theatre displaying almost nothing in common with a system of justice intended to protect the rights and freedoms within a society. I think we’re going to see a re-run of Craig Murray’s show trial, where the judge deems any evidence which would render the case pointless denied. We’re going to see the nazi symbol on the front… Read more »
“I find it amazing that Mr Hopkins’ accusors ‘know what his intentions were/are’”
That is the way the german justice works nowadays (and also earlier, in the time of the austrian-born chancellor).
I call that “nazi”.
The psychopaths in the US/UK who are persecuting and imprisoning Julian Assange are truly afraid of him and everything he represents, they are totally threatened by him. They are afraid that if Julian is allowed to walk free, which is his right as a free, innocent man, a journalist and a whistleblower, and he continues to expose the criminal truth of all the US war crimes, then true justice, intelligence and love will quantum ricochet around the world, and start a chain reaction that will collapse their whole rotten empire of lies. They have to continue to keep trying to convince you that only they can uphold the truth, international law, democracy and freedom, and you should never get to question them. So before anymore inconvenient truths becomes known, all dissent must be brutally crushed! They are not aware that every truth can be whispered. Truth is self-evident. Just whispering… Read more »
i wish those who downvoted this comment to tell us why they disagree with it
They are afraid to lose this bullshit, they find only emptiness within, and something is better than nothing.
I confess i voted it down in bad faith. I agreed with a lot of it ( not all though). I was just irritated by the length of it! It was a bit preachy and aggressive too.
RFK jr ?
Presumably the book has been around for a while. I wonder if this was precipitated by the endorsement the author extended to RFK jr. The latter carried the stigma of his grandfather’s peacemongering on the eve of the bankster’s WW2. He further disgraced himself by opposing the convid measures and by his opposition to vaccines in general and the clot shot in particular.
As a supporter of RFK jr I was shocked by his recent statement saying he supported Israel and their right to “defend themselves”. It is of course an indication of the immense power of a certain lobby. It was a bit surreal however to hear him endorse the very power that liquidated his father, two uncles and a first cousin.
When/where did RFK, Jr say that about Israel? That concerns me and I would like to read it or watch it for the context if you can link or direct me to a site/interview.
Thanks.
You should be able to find the You Tube video. It happened after RFK jr removed a tweet he had made supporting Roger Waters. He made the Israel statement when asked about the removal. Perhaps the You Tube site “The Hill” may have an excerpt of the video.
I was able to ask #RFK why he deleted the tweets supporting Roger Waters and also his position on I****l and P********e. @theconvocouch @dondebar
https://twitter.com/i/status/1664287743554338816
***** due to triggering pending- thought police censoring.
Thank you for this. I am disappointed. I don’t know who Roger Waters is but I consider the Palestinian’s right to a free society more than “important”.
It is critical and unquestionable. Palestine has as much right to exist and protect itself as Israel.
I do think Kennedy respects the Palestinians and believes in the right to freedom. But his answer just smacks of politics to me and it is disappointing.
Oy.
Oh, that Roger Waters.
He rocks. Love him forever.
His father also supported Israel, which is why the official narrative is that Sirhan Sirhan, who is Palestinian, assassinated him for being a Zionist. (Mind you, I don’t believe the official story on RFK anymore than I believe the one on JFK.)
Ironic
This is unfortunate and ridiculous. However the author could have used the more appropriate symbol and saved himself some trouble. The “Nazis” were a short lived phenomenon that perished 78 years ago while creating an excuse for the creation of an apartheid state in the Midle East. The communists on the other hand have existed for a long time. The convid dydtopia most closely resembled Marxist dystopias in Bolshevik Russia and Maoist China. Modern communists were the main backers of convid and the sinister clot shot. A face muzzle with a hammer and sickle would have been a far better symbol to use.
I don’t agree with you on the alternative you propose, but do think Hopkins would have been well advised to NOT use the symbol he did — he had every right to do so, certainly, and I think the analogy has merit, but he might have expected these absurd consequences. It is sort of similar to how I view Russia’s actions last year in “invading” (or whatever it did) in (the) Ukraine. Russia was provoked; the 2014 accords had been systematically violated; the West (under US prodding) was gaining total control over the region with its millions of Russian speaking, Russian ethnics (who likely preferred Russian to Ukrainian leadership). But despite this provocation, I still think Russia/Putin was ill advised to attack.
And just to make it totally clear in case it isn’t — I think the charges against Hopkins are insane and a clear sign of the intent to muzzle dissent! I nearly always agree with Hopkins’ views as expressed on O-G.
Hubris trembles in the prescence of Truth.
Sunday, May 14th, the President of Germany welcomed Neo-Nazi Zelensky. Now they want to prosecute CJ Hopkins for a book cover.
It’s like this: fascism is fine as long as it’s not being satirized.
Fascism is fine as long as you’re ‘woke’.
Nice. Too true. But it needs to get re-woke.
I remember a two-volume edition of a book each with half the swastika on the dust jacket spine.
I think it was “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” by William L. Shirer.
A quick search of the title shows a large swastika dominating the dust jacket cover.
I guess it depends on who you are and who sells your book.
They just perverted Waters likewise.
Toxic times.
CHARGE W.S.Shirer!!

Golfing for Cats by Orthodox Jew Alan Coren. Original cover was just a swastika, now they’ve changed it, unsurprisingly, to a cat playing golf.
Oops, I just replied using the j-word. Golfing for Cats by Orthodox J-word Alan Coren had only that symbol, but now they’ve changed it to a cat playing golf.
Golfing for Cats by Alan Coren. I won’t say anything else as I already have 2 attempts pending.
Of course. IIRC, that notion is even written into the German law itself, which allows the government to determine when the context is ‘correct’ and when it isn’t. Same with mentioning the ‘holocaust’. It’s all big, kosher racket.
It’s the ultimate Orwellian ironic reversal: Nazis censoring an anti-Nazi for being a Nazi.
These Germans/Austrians have no sense of irony whatsoever. Especially when they had their “quarantine hotels” (camps).
Don’t equate the German establishment with the German people. Do you think Australians and Canadians are humorless fascists by nature as well? See?
Maybe the Authorities have a point. Hopkins book front compare the virus-not-to-be-named lock down and masks with Nazism.
Meaning he criticise and compare the Authorities way of organising the virus-not-to-be-named scam to Nazism. Can Hopkins prove it was Nazism? Probably not.
Could he be able to prove it was a step on the road to fascism, maybe. Whatever, the case is on the borderline.
Hopefully Hopkins will be given margin and justice in the case to come.
Times have changed. Comments favourable to Ukro-Nazis became OK on US social media in early 2022. Supplying armaments to and training the Ukros – even inside US – has been going on from 2014.
Aye, but those are the good Nazis, remember? 😉
I’m guessing they don’t actually intend to win these flimsy cases; the point is more to demoralize and improverish you by dragging you through the system.
Yup: lawfare.
I have strong disagreements with CJ Hopkins, and have expressed them at this site, but this indictment is utterly disgusting and 100% unacceptable. By the way, swastikas go back to ancient India.
In fact, if the archaeologists and anthropologists are correct, it’s one of the oldest symbols known to man. And it was not just an ‘Aryan‘ artifact either: it was in use among the Indians of North America thousands of years before the coming of the white man.
I believe there is some difference of “intent” based on whether the swats pointing clockwise or counterclockwise; there’s also some dots added by some cultures that also add meaning. The occultists of 3rd Rike knew what they were doing with the ancient symbol. Totally co-opted.
But there’s no reason to prosecute CJ over a symbol on a book cover.
“Obviously, simply using the imagery of the swastika is not de facto promoting fascism, just ask literally hundreds of books and films through the decades.”
In Germany you just can’t show a Swatika. It gets you done! He should have known better. There is no free speech in Germany! He will get fined and done!
It’s on the cover of a book for Christ’s sake
I bet the Berlin Prosecutor’s Office will make sure the book is judged by its cover.
The bull who sees it doesnt like it.
? Are you talking German? der Bulle? cop? what is ‘ The bull ‘ plse?
English? the ‘ bill’? ‘ The’ old bill’?
Using that logic every book or film or even documentary displaying a swastika needs to be banned in Germany. This is an obvious selective prosecution.
On his substack, Hopkins wrote, “Swastikas are banned in Germany if they are used to promote Nazism, fascism, neo-Nazi organizations, etc. However, they are allowed to be displayed for the purposes of “civic education, countering anti-constitutional activities, art and science, research and education, coverage of historic and current events”
Of course if you’re a political enemy of the new Nazis they’ll claim you used it to promote Nazism regardless of how ridiculous the charge. Truly Orwellian times.
You also can’t have ‘AH’ or numbers representing his birthday, or other contrived restrictions, on your car number plate.

Gosh this is so awful! Thank you Off G for supporting this writer and for supporting free speech. We are the living dead it would seem. I guess we have been for some time really
Well, at least now we know who is really behind the scamdemic.
? the wef? who?
Well, see, it’s like this. Hold on, there’s a knock on my door.
I’m afraid I must retract my original statement regarding knowing who was really behind the scamdemic, It wasn’t them. Hopefully, CJ knows what I’m talking about.
Start looking into the Black Nobility and the Committee of 300.
This is a good start, https://degraw.substack.com/p/the-black-nobility-hidden-history
With U.S. support in doubt, WHO chief praises top donor Germany
“”As you all know, Germany has been an important friend and longstanding partner to WHO and in fact it is now WHO’s largest donor,” said director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, speaking alongside German Development Minister Svenja Schulze.”
I guess it is time for Germany to be wiped off the face of the map, again.
Oh wait, that would be conflating the actions of government, with the people the government doesn’t care about.
Must be over the target. Satire will spill into the courtroom.
Asserting that C.J. Hopkins is advocating for Nazism (nothing could be further detached from the truth) could not possibly be any more ridiculous, pathetic and desperate on the part of German “authorities”…
The German authorities seem to have a fascinating way with logic — they’re all for ‘free speech’ they say but then the proscribe what is actually free speech. A couple of recent examples were people being fined for openly supporting Russia in the the Ukraine conflict — apparently since the invasion of Russia has been declared illegal by the German government then they’re advocating lawbreaking which is an offense etc. etc. Honestly, George Orwell couldn’t have dreamed some of this stuff up. I expect that CJ Hopkins has been caught by similar ‘logic’. Nazism is one of those things that we “all know it when we see it” (we think) but if you try to actually come up with an explicit definition of what it is then you’re likely to draw a blank. It was one of those movements that started off as a quest for power using a handy… Read more »
What do you think of the proceedings in the UK relating to Julian Assange ( extradition proceedings) and of Alison Chabloz ( criminal prosecution for statements made) ? Weren’t people arrested for holding up blank posters outside Downing Street? Didn’t people get arrested during Charles’ coronation ceremony?Rowan Atkinson made a speech recently about prosecutions in the UK which he felt had a chiling effect on free speech.
I’ve been concerned for his welfare ever since learning he lives in Berlin. Wonder why he chose the place, given the climate ?
Do you think Julian Assange would recommend England? or Chris Williamson who couldn’t even make a speech in the Holiday Inn in Brighton? or George Galloway who had a lot of trouble finding a venue for his No to Nato event? Then there’s Holland where protestors get shot at;..or France where the police use grenades and other dangerous weapons on protestors. There’s always good old Canada where you can have your bank account frozen if you protest about vaccine mandates. Where in the ‘ free West’ should Hopkins go?
In England he’d likely be censored, perhaps cancelled. But arrested ?
What is Assange in prison for? What about Alison Chabloz?
Why not? If Assange can be imprisoned in England why not Hopkins?
The irony that the fascists we observed curtailing people’s rights are now crying about a book cover!?
That’s like social media censoring medical info but not the clearly actually illegal stuff on there.
Upside down limp dick dystopia
