The Second Coming of Literal Hitler

CJ Hopkins

So, the quadrennial simulation of democracy in the USA is getting underway, and personally, I couldn’t be happier.

It’s been a challenging few years for unincorporated political satirists like myself. The roll-out of the new global-capitalist totalitarianism hasn’t been particularly funny. In fact, it has been extremely not funny. Squeezing a little humor out of it has been like trying to suck a golf ball through a garden hose.

Not that the New Normal Reich is history … on the contrary, it is just getting started. Yes, the shock-and-awe campaign is over. It’s been over for the better part of a year. We are deep into the mistakes-were-made/limited-hangout phase of the changeover.

Nothing can stop or reverse it now.

The implementation of the new official (i.e., Orwellian) reality is a fait accompli. What actually happened has been memory-holed, forever, supplanted by stories of censorious “bad apples,” “overreactions,” lab leaks, and so on. Those who are old enough will recall this phase from the aftermath of the US invasion of Iraq. It’s going pretty much by the numbers.

Which…fine. That “reality” stuff was ruining my shtick. No one wants to be told that they’re the victim of an elaborate PSYOP, which is what I’ve been doing for the past three years, with one demographic after another.

First, I alienated most of my friends and colleagues, and even family members, by challenging “The Science” (which has now been debunked) and opposing the transformation of the planet into a pathologized-totalitarian police state.

Then, when I warned people about Elon Musk and the whitewashing of Twitter, or X, or whatever we are calling his Chinese-style “everything app,” which, if Elon has his way, we’re all going to “live on” in the visibility-filtered, advert-saturated, dystopian, global-capitalist future … well, that pretty much did it for the rest of my audience.

Not you, of course…the other rest of my audience.

See, part of the genius of the New Normal Reich is how it has completely polarized society. It has systematically divided the masses into two irreconcilable warring camps, both of which demand absolute conformity to their dogma from their respective members. That isn’t to imply that there’s parity between them. The one camp, “the New Normals,” is backed by state and corporate power. The other camp, “the anti-New Normals,” is not. It’s no secret where my sympathies lie.

The problem, for me, is, I don’t do well in camps. Any kind of camps. I’m not a camp person. I have an aversion to self-appointed leaders, or an oppositional-defiant disorder, or something. Or maybe I’ve just seen too many movements congeal into irrelevant countercultural ghettos where people blow off steam in a virtual vacuum and get preyed on by hucksters and ten-cent gurus … or 240-billion-dollar gurus.

So, screw it, I’m going back to comedy, or at least I’m going to give it a try, and the upcoming US election season should provide me with the perfect material!

For example, this piece in The New Republic about the horror a new Trump term would bring. It’s basically a “Return of the Revenge of the Curse of the Bride of the Son of Hitler”-type piece…you know, like one of those 1970s Hammer horror films with Christopher Lee.

That’s right, he’s back … Trumpenstein, the monster! It’s the Second Coming of Literal Hitler! Vladimir Putin’s personal cock holster! The pussy-grabbing Destroyer of Worlds! According to Brynn Tannehill and The New Republic, it is “goodbye NATO … goodbye democracy!” Hello to the new-and-improved Trumpian Reich!

To folks who know their 20th-Century history, the story-line will be eerily familiar. Like Hitler returning from Landsberg prison, where he wrote Mein Kampf after the “Beer Hall Putsch”

[Trump] is coming back with the entire conservative apparatus at his back, having spent four years in the wilderness methodically planning how to permanently alter the political and legal landscape of the country to favor an anti-democratic minority.”

Apparently, Trump’s evil master plan this time revolves around reinstituting “Schedule F” for federal employees, which would allow him to fire anyone with “policy-making authority” and replace them with hate-crazed Nazi fanatics. Brynn explains the utter horror this will lead to.

…a Trump administration would replace vast swathes of the federal government bureaucracy with sycophants and ideological fellow travelers bent on implementing pro-corporate, pro-religious, and anti-minority agendas. This weaponizes the entire federal bureaucracy against women and LGBTQ people.”

Shortly thereafter, the genocide will begin.

The right intends to use every power of the government to eradicate anything it considers woke, particularly transgender people.”

According to Brynn, once Trump has mass-murdered all the transgender people, and the gay people, and women, and presumably the Jews, and African-Americans, and whoever else he’s planning to mass-murder, he will fire and replace all the generals and admirals, arrest all his political and personal enemies, and declare himself American Führer for life!

And so on. I think you get the idea. The most powerful propaganda machine in the history of propaganda is revving up again. It’s going to be a year-long Two Minutes Hate, with Donald Trump playing the part of Goldstein.

The message is, Trump, and his master, Putin, and THE FORCES OF UNSPEAKABLE HITLERIAN EVIL, and Covid, and global boiling, and whatever, are slouching toward Washington to DESTROY DEMOCRACY, and, this time, they’re not screwing around! The only way to prevent the Trumpocalypse will be to visibility-filter the hell out of everything (except, of course, for free-speech Twitter), lock down everyone when things get unruly, and just basically go full-blown totalitarian again. It won’t be very difficult to set in motion. All they will need to do is get Rachel Maddow to shriek “IMMINENT COVID GLOBAL-WARMING INSURRECTION!” and the New Normal masses will strap on their masks and start clicking heels and following orders.

Seriously, they’re already breaking out the Trump-is-Literally-Hitler routine, and the official election season hasn’t even started!

Selfishly speaking, I can’t wait for it to begin. The global-capitalist ruling classes are not going to let him win again, but they’re clearly preparing to whip the masses into a full-blown frenzy of ass-puckering PARANOIA and MINDLESS HATRED of anyone even marginally deviating from official ideology, and I plan to milk that show for as many laughs as possible. I may not be able to stop what’s coming, but, in the immortal words of a very drunk Jim Morrison, I just want to get my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Of course, I’ll probably be doing that in my new accommodations in German prison, where I’ll be serving time for comparing the roll-out of the New Normal to the rise of Nazi Germany.

For those of you who think I’m joking, I am not. I am under criminal investigation in Berlin for comparing New Normal totalitarianism to Nazism, which, comparing anything to the Nazis is strictly prohibited in Germany … unless, of course, you’re comparing Trump to the Nazis, in which case, that’s fine…

…or, as the Germans like to say, in Ordnung!

Same here. I think it’s because we recognise the ‘old fashioned Democrat’ of the 50-60’s in him, back when they were sane.
I read something that made me laugh a couple of years ago-
Bring a 50’s Democrat forward to today and they would be a Republican.
Take a Democrat from today back to the 50’s and they would be thrown into an asylum.

It’s exactly the same here in the UK, ahhh progress!

RFK Jr. has done a lot of his best work on our behalf as an investigative reporter (“Ring of Fire” radio, once heard often, around the time of Y2K, on “Air America” AM radio, launched by the witch-hunted Al Franken) and as a great, and often victorious, environmentalist attorney.

I was working as a 16yo volunteer for his father the night he was assassinated. And not too far away in L.A. (my brother-in-law was standing in the next room when he heard the shots). Etc. So we go back.

Father

In a sense this is correct. Hitler was after all the father of a certain Middle Eastern nation. Drumpf is one of it’s most fervent backers. He moved the embassy to Jerusalem and gave them the Golan heights. He will not persecute the LGBTQ+ “community”. There is a photograph of him waving a rainbow flag. He wanted to ban Muslim immigration into the US because he perceived them to be a threat to the “gay” “community”.

Part of the effort which the-powers-that-shouldn’t-be are making to boost flagging interest in next year’s presidential election, which will be made by both “sides” (competing brands of would-be-elite-stooges) into a “vote like your survival depends upon it” case. “Choice of cancer or polio,” to quote Jagger-Richards.” Interesting how Trump funders are also backing RFK Jr’s campaign.

Headline story a few days ago. 100 universities and colleges still mandate Covid clot shots. You would think. The CDC is still recommending the clot shots for infants. Fauci is still being billed as a hero even though he perjured himself before Congress more than once. His protocols led to the unnecessary deaths of millions of people with tens of millions permanently disabled. Forced vaccinations for a population of which only .1% is at risk and most of that .1% could have survived if treated with ivermectin or hydroxychloroquin. Instead of recommending the use of ivermectin and/or hydroxychloroquin, Fauci banned them from being repurposed as a Covid treatment which paved the way for the use of experimental mRNA technology. And, of course, Fauci perfected the PCR test protocol to guarantee positive tests to drive the fear. No one wanted to question why so many asymptomatic clusters were popping up everywhere.… Read more »

And you would rather stick with a “Rotting bag of oatmeal”? Credit Dan Bongino for that one. Come on. Trump pulled the U.S. funding from WHO and the United Nations while withdrawing from the Paris Accord agreement. Big plusses in my eyes. Everything is relative. Biden and his minions actually think the world is going to end (as we know it) because we use fossil fuels. Jesus Biden thinks HE is the “Savior”. Quite a legacy, wouldn’t you say? I cannot stand Trump any more than you can. I can think of several others I would rather see as President. But….. such a promise to hold them accountable would trump Trump’s faults. My hatred for those that coerced my son into jabbing two of my grandchildren goes above and beyond any crimes that Trump may have committed. Every politician out there is guilty. No doubt about it.

CDC is still recommending the clot shots for infants.
US government (CDC etc.) has mandated it for infants, correct?

could have survived if treated with ivermectin or hydroxychloroquin
Just lifting the ban on (wthholding of) standard medical treatment for the common illnesses including pneumonia would have sufficed. Most of the purported covid victims died of the common illnesses.

I believe the mandate was lifted but is still recommended for all kids including infants. CDC has recommended that the Covid vax is added to the standard regiment of childhood vaccines. School districts that follow the CDC recommendations closely are expected to add Covid vaccines to their list of required vaccines, if they have not already. The assumption (with which I disagree) is that the Covid outbreak was real. I am just giving them the benefit of the doubt. Adding the concept that this was just another flu outbreak is too incredulous for some. So I chose not to go there. Same for comorbidities. Trying to keep it simple. In all of my discussions with people, the hardest thing to get across is the PCR testing. Most people cannot get past the concept of false positives and the corruption in medical labs and the payoffs to medical institutions for positives… Read more »

I note that Chris Whitty is due to give a lecture next year with this blurb:

Weather and climate-related events can cause significant mortality and disability.

Sudden cold, heat, storms and floods all present risks to health, especially to the most vulnerable. Even in countries with temperate climates like the UK, weather-related deaths can be in the thousands, for example cold snaps causing cardiovascular deaths. In countries with more extreme weather this can be much greater. Some can cause major social disruption.

This lecture considers how weather events cause harm to health, and our countermeasures.

And I am starting to suspect that the entire network of health/virus/climate/gender/military-confrontation catastrophe mongering is one vast distraction from the fundamental operation – a gargantuan and unprecedentedly audacious financial attack on the masses with the aim of reinstating a new feudalism.

Honestly, I don’t get it. This obsessivo with calling the totalitarism we are going towards a kind of neo-feudalism is nonsense.

Feudalism was one of, if not the most decentralized power structure in human history. The nobility had no authority or power to change taxes for example without talking with a village head. Feudal kings had lots of authority but very little power.

It’s really mysterious to me how people equate feudalism to tyranny, when the modern post-enlightenment state is so much more overbearing.

Its a quarrel about label.
When people name it and I hear it, we remember the King, the Nobility riding on horses and the peasants walking in almost slavery.

This equal to the King Charles/the Royals today, the Oligarchs, and the middle/low class heading toward heavy taxation, tough limitations in movement, economy and difficulty to raise to a higher class.

Whatever we call it, the meaning is clear.

What is Trump? Another piece in the  political game that the ruling class, that is, the party whose interest is consistent with a class-based society, have played in America since it’s independence and the ratification of its Constitution and form of government. This game consists primarily in preventing the fusion in the citizenry of seemingly different or even formally opposing interest into one national majority expressing what is common beneath the apparent diversity: class interest. When put face to face, different interests tend to synthesize and may do so for tactical reasons if for nothing else, like conventional parties do during electoral processes. So to prevent the spontaneous formation of a popular majority expressing the true general interest, diversity of opinion, quite a few of which remarkably ludicrous, is artificially encouraged, and officially represented, which gives it the appearance of self-sufficiency and self-importance: each one of these interests thinks it’s got… Read more »

The true division is not between Left and Right but between top and bottom. And the top have crafted a theatre whose purpose is to dupe the population into thinking that their thoughts and feelings are being represented “up there” and so a presented conflict is a mirror of a real conflict at ground level. Trump and this “rising fascism” is supposedly an indication of a real fascism germinating from the masses – who, as always, are the true enemy of the ruling faction.

I can think of no better phony division than the Left/Right divide which is, of course explicitly political. Each side of this divide is a prop of the ruling class and, since 2020, the public’s mind has been succesfully muddied by ascribing all critique of covid and climate to the much hated “Right”. To reject climate/covid – and indeed the transgender guff too – is to be “reactionary”, “against the progress of history”. It is to be “with Trump”.

Ok, I get your interpretation. I really meant interests in general before being attributed, if they ever are, to either Left or Right, or before they could self-perceive themselves as such. I was principally thinking of the several hundreds of US NGO’s, each of which dedicated to its own particular cause from the local animal welfare group to the Anti-immigrant groups. The encouragement of the diversity of these causes I wanted to highlight, which, in the consciousness of those espousing them, have a priori no relation to Left or Right.

This list of so-called “Extremist groups”, which does not exhaust all regulated organisations -more than one thousand – in the US will speak for the argument I wanted to more than anything else. Take a look at that diversity, but also the unrealised overlappings of these interests. It is remarkable that this list isn’t yet reduced to a few dozens big groups; not to speak of the NGO’s in general. The thesis, confirmed by the correspondence maintained by the Founding Fathers, is that American society should be encouraged into the greater possible diversity of mutually-ignoring or mutually-fighting interests and causes.

The LGBT, climate, green, race, gender, etc just adds to that already existing and officially represented diverstiy.

“Over-50s could deliver takeaways, says work and pensions secretary Mel Stride lauds flexible working at firms such as Deliveroo amid post-Covid rise in economic inactivity” (Graud) The artificially created “post-Covid rise in economic activity” now “presents an opportunity” to restructure the entire socio-economic Western world. What does this particular proposal mean? Here’s a clue: “Over-50s looking for work should consider delivering takeaways and other flexible jobs typically occupied by younger people, the work and pensions secretary has said.” Two problems with that: First, the more jobs taken on by the oldies, the less for the young. Second, these jobs are not exactly known for being well paid. The normal pattern for the working life was for young folk to start small and work their way up to a fully functioning maturity whereby their wage would have to reflect the increasing financial demands of maintaining a family. The obvious overall result… Read more »

Everyone should bear in mind that the reset does not necesarily function in a spectacular way but by way of little increments.

Speaking of which, more gleeful Graud pronouncements of doom:

Broken roads and broken necks: life in pothole Britain

There are an estimated 2m potholes in the UK – and the problem is only getting worse. What does this tell us about the state of the country?

What do potholes tell us?

“That you can’t have high-quality services, including basic ones, like street provision, in an environment where the tax burden isn’t sufficient to fund the public services that, broadly, people want,” says Travers.

See? Tax the poor more and more. But it still won’t be enough!

They say to design cars better able to withstand potholes without needing repair, like my 1958 Mercedes Benz 190d.

Car design peaked in the 60’s, its all been downhill since then.

On a vaguely related note, I glanced yesterday at a YouTube video about Bill Browder.

“No one wants to be told that they’re the victim of an elaborate PSYOP”?

Really?

Well I, for one, am quite happy to be told when I have been the victim of any misdemeanour – not to mention atrocity.
After all, it might just have escaped my notice, however unlikely that might be.

I’d certainly agree with the author here that denial can run deep.

But there is absolutely no shame in knowing that a highly-experienced, centuries-old, soulless, cunning and unrelenting cabal of satanic cultists in high places has decided to make your life a misery by undermining all the things that make it worth living.

We should rejoice that the horns on their heads, along with their forked tongues and forked tails, are gradually becoming visible to all.

You should be proud of your new notoriety, CJ. These days, the real thugs publically calling out to “kill the TERFS”, and the child molesters and mutilators are coddled, revered and rewarded, while ‘dangerous’ truth-tellers pointing out the bleeding obvious are criminalised.

I’m not much of a Trump fan – he rolled out the “warp-speed” drug injections after all. Not going into his many other failings, except that he is also closely connected to the Israeli elites and government – the government that bragged about having subjected the citizens of Israel to a Pfizer clinical trial with an experimental injectable drug. Say no more.

The link between Trump’s election and Russian manipulators is a joke and has been debunked. He won at least as fair and square as Biden did 😉

Here is a heartbreaking speech from a young girl who is a victim of the most appalling psychopathic medical crime that I am aware of. And I am aware that this is off-topic and could very easily fit into the previous OffG item which is specificaly about this matter. But again I don’t want to compartmentalise because I have no hesitation and issue no apology in drawing a parallel between this case and the Nazis. This is akin to the “experiments” of Josef Mengele except that this is far worse – since it is taking place on a far wider range and with the backing of what now passes for the medical establishment. This is the warping, deformation and ruining of the young. Pay particular attention to the ultimatum delivered to the girl’s parents: “Do you want a dead daughter or a living transgender son?”

This sort of coercion by the medicos and their little helpers is not a new thing since “Covid” and since the push to trans-genderise the kids. Just to highlight one example, a friend of a friend of mine (sorry ’bout that, it is true nonetheless) was diagnosed with breast cancer but refused to have chemo. On leaving the hospital post excision of the tumour, a nurse went after her in the corridor and screamed, “You’ll be back!” This was in relation to the patient having spoken decidedly against having to undergo chemo. This is appalling behaviour reminiscent of the Dark Ages where the Devil / Hell and Condemnation were the threat of the day. Informed consent? No such thing. The friend’s friend is still alive BTW.

Certainly a portion of Off Guardians revenue , as paltry as it appears to be , does come from those with deeper pockets who are less morally bound , who feel it to be a marketing advantage to try to shape the discussion , by controlling the range of debate .

Hitler’s economic policy was pro-privatization, which is the core of fascism. The US media spin praised it and eventually adopted it, rebranding it “neoliberalism”, even “libertarianism”. “In February 1933, as Chancellor, Hitler met with the leading German industrialists at the home of Hermann Goring. There were representatives from IG Farben, AG Siemens, BMW, coal mining magnates, Theissen Corp, AG Krupp, as well as a locust of Bankers, investors, and other Germans belonging to the top 1%. During this meeting, Hitler said, “Private enterprise cannot be maintained in the age of democracy.” In 1934, Nazis outlined their plan to revitalize the German economy. It involved reprivatization of significant industries: railways, public works project, construction, steel, and banking. On top of that, Hitler guaranteed profits for the private sector, and so, many American industrialists and bankers gleefully flocked to Germany to invest. The Nazis had a thorough plan for deregulation. The Nazi’s… Read more »

Media’s Opposition to Trump Elected Him That’s why they so obviously and ineffectually opposed him. Polls and other measures of public attitude towards media held that people distrusted it only slightly less than they distrusted govt. It was their “opposition” to him, while avoiding any truly damaging reporting that elected him. Trump positioned himself as an “outsider” by blabbermouth tactics but did almost nothing during his term that actually opposed the cabal’s agenda. Trump in true blabbermouth style had bragged years in advance that he was going to be President just didn’t know whether it was this election or the next. [Turned out to be the next. He’d long been arranged as a distraction/lightning rod. Ideal personality for it].

It’s two-way. What attracts those with a lack of self-awareness at the same time repels those with more self-awareness.

So: are these mass frauds for these with the less self-awareness to catch them, or are they for these with more self-awareness to make them even more self-awareness? Or are they to make the self-awareness people more unself-awareness? For to have an even more stupid and dysfunctional multitude.

What do those who invented and implement fraud think? What is their purpose?

They only see their own short-term agenda, they react to everything in a clichéd manner, and they cannot understand why anybody would oppose them. The reason I think “the system works”, as you put it, is that there is no longer adequate oversight concerning who is accepted into politics.

By focusing on an individual you miss the point entirely about fascism and the nature of power. Put simply, by capturing the civil service and judiciary its possible to implement absolute rule while maintaining the facade of democracy. This is what happened in Germany in the 1930s — the Reichstag never went away, it was just rendered an impotent talking shop. The real power was through party functionaries in the civil administration with tight control exercised over who could become even a low level civil servant or schoolteacher. There is no substitute for reading reliable histories or eye witness reports rather than just assuming that this year’s fascist is just going to be last year’s version, a new face in old clothes.

What was not mentioned was the “banned books” were only banned in elementary and secondary public school libraries.

He was caught and prosecuted, but also ended up comitting suicide a little later….. Surely another coincidence.

I seem to remember someone throwing themselves in to the flames one year as well.

All good clean family fun…

Two weeks ago, RFK jr made some comments about the vaccine appearing to have some qualities of an ethno-specific bio-weapon, an idea that goes back to the PNAC document.

The screamers of anti s said they created it back in 1998.

Of course, you don’t have to see RJK Jr as perfect or as having the same exact views as you do (as many of those who read O-G do). But on confronting the dangers of vaccines, challenging the corrupt medical establishment, and helping the vaccine injured he has a long and excellent record. He was an early and open critic of Covid policy. As for who his son married, who cares? Is he responsible for what his adult son does? RFK Jr has been attacked and denounced by his family. They rightly see him as a renegade. Or maybe I should say a maverick, for on some issues (like Israel and like the environment) his stance is not nearly as critical as I’d like it to be. But I do feel he is bascially sincere, and that he is open minded and willing to examine those views. Would he make… Read more »

If you play the voting game you would be off your rocker to vote anyone other than RFK or Shiva Ayadurai. The latter has stated clearly: WE MUST GO AFTER THEM- when talking about Fauci and friends. They must be rounded up, have their assets seized and get locked away for life. A death sentence is letting them off the hook.
VOTE FOR THE HOOK. These criminal parasites must not get away with this.

So are you recommending to vote for the democratic party, for justice? Good luck, man.

As the saying goes, ‘If voting changed anything, it wouldn’t be allowed.’
Having watched the January 6 spectacle of well behaved not-even-protesters being literally beckoned into the chamber by the crooked index finger of a Capitol
policeman, and the ensuing media hyperbolic feeding frenzy-talk about sharks.

Politics is about tying up your attention and energy, Divide and Conquer. If you fall for it. It keeps you impotent in any real sense. You could have done something useful with all that wasted energy.

Sure thing. Anyone who speaks well. Putin came, said “no to American hegemony” and ready. The best character creators are the deep state and their mainstream media, can make a hero out of any garbage just by talking against it.

I am not a huge fan of Hopkin’s writing. But I’ll definitely give two thumbs up for the description of Trump as “The pussy-grabbing Destroyer of Worlds.” As good as anything Kunstler has written. Though Kunstler himself is the ultimate Trumptard, and unlike Greg Hunter, he cannot use a very low IQ as an excuse. As to Trump as the second coming of the Messiah. Hmmm. We have Bolton, the maniacal mustache, in the top “security” spot; A man who never met a war he didn’t like. Pompeo (we cheated, we lied, we stole) as the director of the CIA and (amazingly) as Secretary of State. A man who never saw a buffet he didn’t like. And Attorney General William Barr, a man whose father gave J. Epstein his first job out of college at, of all places, an elite girls’ preparatory school. And he is the father of the… Read more »

Well Biden killed more civilians overseas in 4 weeks than Trump did in 4 years. Trump has been the only US President who didnt start a war, he made peace with N.Korea and tried to get US troops home. Trump made a lot of jobs, railroad projects in US which Biden immediately dumped the moment he came into office in favour of public administration of refugees, drug addicts, homeless tents, and LGBT rights. Trump took a battle against fake news, and stopped the Democrats exploitation of elderly and he made true efforts to stop human trafficking. I didnt like his warp speed, his talk about the military should lead the injections, his many foreign sanctions was not wise, the killing of Soleimani was unforgivable. But compared to the perverts on the left he was at least his own. One man cant lift it all. A general passivity and a corrupted… Read more »

Eh – me and my friends and family have agreed to disagree for the most part. Some people want the hard us v them lines drawn just as much as globocap does apparently. There’s a contradiction in us rightly calling out the literal Hitler nonsense while simultaneously screaming about literal camps for the unvaxxed and exclusively using the Nazi metaphor. Hyperbole is hyperbole.
