Germany confirms the truth of C.J. Hopkins' new book, by INVESTIGATING him for writing it
It surely isn't just the book's front cover, with its (near-imperceptible) small swastika that got him into trouble there, but the author's blistering critique of the "new normal"—i.e., COVID heresy

As many of you know, C.J. Hopkins, an American playwright living in Berlin, has been among the fiercest (and funniest) critics of the new bio-fascist order, focusing primarily on its sway in Germany (since that’s where he lives), but duly noting its unprecedented global reach. He posts his essays here on Substack, and has just published a collection of such writings, The Rise of the New Normal Reich.
To make the world aware of this new book (which is self-published), Hopkins recently tweeted an image of its front cover, which, like the title, harks back boldly to William L. Shirer’s 1960 classic, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, using the same Nazi tricoleur (black/white/red), and, roughly, the same design; except that, whereas Rise and Fall features, on its cover’s lower half, a thick black swastika stamped on a white disc (as on the Third Reich’s flags and banners), Hopkins’ cover features, on its lower half, a white surgical mask—shadowed, in the middle, with a small gray swastika (so faint that you can barely make it out) on a white disc.
That cover is a darkly witty comment on the bio-fascist cult of “caring,” and the vast pretense, by all its figureheads and managers and “our free press,” that what they want above all is to keep us “safe”—when what they’re really doing is killing us, while taking everything we have. While thus reflecting on the world today, moreover, the cover also hints adroitly at the similarities between the whole world “threatened” by “the virus” back in 2020/2021, and Hitler’s Germany before the war, as, there-&-then and here-&-now, a pseudo-scientific “public health” campaign was/has been used to institute a phobic and authoritarian “new normal,” demonizing all those who would not, and/or could not, go along. (Hopkins masterfully addresses those similarities throughout his book.) That Hopkins sees, and treats, this recurrence as a bad thing—bad enough to write a book exposing it—is, you’d think, too obvious to have to point it out.

But no. Shortly after tweeting an image of his book’s front cover, Hopkins found himself charged with spreading Nazi propaganda. As spelled out in a letter he received from the public prosecutor’s office in Berlin, he was now under investigation for “disseminating propaganda, the contents of which are intended to further the aims of a former National Socialist organization.”
Now, it’s possible that this absurdity was caused by a totalitarian combination of AI surveillance and prosecutorial over-readiness to pounce first, and ask questions later, compounded, maybe, by the prosecutor’s inability to see that Hopkins has used the swastika ironically. That is, Twitter, and/or some online “hate speech” monitor employed by German law enforcement, may have flagged that swastika, and then the prosecutor either filed his charges without looking into it, or did look into it, and just didn’t get it. (Such obtuseness has been threatening ironic and satiric works for many decades, as with, e.g., Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, but, these days, it’s more pervasive—and more militant—than ever.) This scenario suggests that Hopkins will be left alone once cooler heads (if any) have prevailed.
On the other hand, the prosecutor and his staff may not be as dimwitted as their accusation makes them look. They may know perfectly well that Hopkins’ book is actually the opposite of Nazi propaganda—in which case they’re really going after him for that, using his (imaginary) Nazi propaganda as a pretext. Under COVID (and not just in Germany), the state cares far less about antisemitism, or any other hateful doctrine, than about protecting the Big Lie that it, and the institutions that support it, are there for us—the doctors and the hospitals intent on keeping us alive and “well,” the journalists, in dedication to the truth, refuting all “misinformation,” the schools and universities devoted to the cultivation of young minds, etc. That doctors are conducting, or abetting, heinous medical experiments (while hospitals are killing grounds, with outright euthanasia taking place in some of them); that “journalists” black out the truth, or fiercely misreport it, while venting livid propaganda vilifying the non-compliant, in abject deference to the state; that schools and universities are filling students’ minds, and thereby closing them, with pseudo-revolutionary groupthink that maintains the status quo (while forcing more “vaccine” into their students’ bodies): in short, that COVID World, in several ways, harks back to Hitler’s sphere from 1933 to 1939 (as Vera Sharav and others who survived his “new world order” have observed) is a verboten fact, because it gives the lie to all the pious jive that was, and still is, so ingeniously deployed to make that supreme evil look like something good for all the rest of us; and so those who have been unafraid to state that fact have been attacked for it—attacked for it, perversely and astoundingly, as Nazis.
This should now be clear from that ridiculous attack on C.J. Hopkins, because it’s just the latest such assault on strong opponents of this second “new world order.” It’s appropriate that the offending front cover of The Rise of the New Normal Reich should also boast a blurb from Bobby Kennedy, since he too has been Nazified by “our free press.” Such brown-baiting started back in mid-2020, when those Americans protesting lockdown were sweepingly dismissed, by the New York Times et al., as “far-right” extremists—in tight sync with the FBI-conceived-and-managed “plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.” The “discovery”-and- prosecution of that farce was breathlessly (and selectively) “reported” through the summer; and when Bobby—following the example of his uncle back on June 26, 1963—traveled to Berlin, to speak against (Covidian) totalitarianism, that memorable speech, to roughly one million Europeans, went unreported by the Western press, which turned the whole event into a neo-Nazi rally, the speech and that vast turnout having been expertly upstaged by a sideshow that was surely orchestrated by the BND and CIA:

Thus the New York Times performed its usual key propaganda function, as it had always done, and, no doubt, always will. The news of that immense pan-European gathering, and Bobby’s presence there (not his speech), was stowed down in the article’s eighth paragraph, which radically low-balled the turnout, while treating it as a mere backdrop to those “hundreds” of “extremists” who “worried” the German government by trying to “storm the Reichstag”:

In retrospect, that pseudo-insurrectionary moment in Berlin looks like a dress rehearsal for the FBI-run “coup attempt” in Washington a little over four months later (and which was itself a replay of the Nazis’ “burning of the Reichstag” back in 1933). As far as Bobby is concerned, that “far-right” sideshow in Berlin foretold the giant smear rushed out in January, 2022, when “our free press,” and the dogs of late-night “comedy”—enabled by the institutional guardians of the Holocaust—went after him for noting, rightly, that today’s worldwide surveillance capabilities are vastly harder to elude even than those set up under Hitler or Stalin: a point he illustrated, aptly, by suggesting that, today, Anne Frank and her family would not be able to hide out as they could, for some two years, in that “secret annex” in Amsterdam. For that he was accused of saying that “Anne Frank had it easy”— “RFK, Jr. Suggests Anne Frank Led a Charmed Life,” bellowed Vanity Fair—and of “trivializing the Holocaust,” although he hadn’t said a word about it. Nor was there the faintest hint of bigotry in that aside, or in the speech containing it; yet CNN ramped up the attack by deploring Bobby’s “historically inaccurate anti-semitic remark.” The fracas moved him to apologize (which, I argued here, was a mistake, because there was no reason for apology).
Thus dissidents today are tagged as “Nazis” just as readily as dissidents of all kinds were tagged as “communists” back in the Fifties (and beyond); but the comparison requires that we point out the differences as well—especially that the current smear campaign, unlike the Great Fear that crazed and stupefied post-war America for roughly fifteen years, has very little mass support. To put it more precisely, whereas, back then, many working people were afflicted with the anticommunist hysteria (along with many high officials in the government), this anti-“Nazi” campaign has (like “Biden”) very little mass support, and will have ever less as time goes on; for this campaign is just another propaganda drive directed by the powers that be—our overlords—against the people overall. Thus Justin Trudeau called the truckers “racists” and “misogynists,” crudely slandered them as Nazi vandals, and then, on that pretext, cut off their funds (while helping arm and fund the Nazis in Ukraine); and that wild smear was amplified by both “the left” and “our free press,” which aided and abetted that fascistic move by labeling the truckers as a “fascist” threat.
The point of all such accusation is, of course, to keep the people in the dark, so that they’ll go on getting jabbed, and robbed, until the end, somewhat like those “good Germans” back in Hitler’s day—except that, this time, the extermination isn’t happening someplace far away, eliminating “only” Jews and gypsies, Poles and Russian POWs, so that it was easy not to see it, even if one knew of it. This time, the extermination drive is everywhere, its daily progress clearly visible, as it gradually erases not just certain hated peoples, but millions upon millions of us all, with the “good Germans” dying first, whether they be Russians, Indians, Americans, Italians, French, Brazilians, Dutch, Nigerians, Indonesians, Mexicans, South Africans, Iranians, Spanish, Chinese, Belgians or Israelis. It is to keep them all entranced that those behind this horror have had “our free press” (projectively) smear those now fighting back as “Nazis,” whether it’s protesters en masse, or stalwart tellers of the awful truth, like Dr. Sucharit Bakhdi—who, for speaking out relentlessly against this second Holocaust, was lately tried (in Germany) for trivializing the first one, and (tellingly) for “incitement of the masses.”
That he was cleared of both those charges is, to say the least, good news, since it may mean the end of that sly tactic; and on this upbeat note I’d like to end—but there is so much more to say about this subject. There’s the attack on Roger Waters, ostensibly for his “offensive” onstage get-up as an SS officer (a bit of theater just as obviously anti-Nazi as the cover of The Rise of the New Normal Reich), but actually for daring to decry the grim plight of the Palestinians along with Hitler’s genocide.
And, beyond such cynical deployment of the Holocaust to silence critics of Israeli policies (which, of course, include the “vaccination” drive in Israel), there are those various other pretexts used to shut down dissidents, whose free speech right is not contingent on your liking them. Thus Alex Jones was punished—and may be crushed financially—for “defamation,” although he defamed no one; and Dr. Simone Gold, who served sixty days in federal prison for “trespassing,” although she had not trespassed in the Capitol; and—above all—Julian Assange, whose long and torturous ordeal is, legally, inexplicable, since it began with a Swedish charge of rape, which he did not commit (and Sweden ultimately dropped the charge). All three of them have suffered (Assange most of all, by far) not for the “crimes” that each was charged with, but for questioning or contradicting major propaganda narratives devised—at great expense, and, so far, with immense success—to keep us in the dark, and, therefore, powerless; and so we’ll always be, until we finally learn the truth that they were variously crafted to obscure.
Matt Taibbi’s interview with C.J. Hokins (prefaced by Taibbi’s bracing admission that he too, along with countless others, bought the COVID propaganda):
An American playwright faces jail for two vanished tweets. Q&A with the author about his ugly present, and our probable future.
JUN 14, 2023
It’s become axiomatic that the United States “lags far behind” Europe when it comes to hate speech law. Everyone from Joe Biden to would-be disinformation Czarina Nina Jankowicz to New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger have suggested the United States needs to move more in Europe’s direction, toward stricter rules and “illegal hate speech,” which “you will have soon also in the U.S.,” as European Commission Vice President for Values Vera Jourova put it at the Davos conference this year.
It makes sense. After all, who’s for hate speech? What possible downside can there be to disallowing expressions of racism, antisemitism, xenophobia, transphobia?
C.J. Hopkins can answer that. Following a similar case involving Roger Waters, the American playwright, Substack contributor, and editor of Consent Factory has been placed under investigation by a Berlin prosecutor for tweeting an image of his book, The Rise of the New Normal Reich. A scathing criticism of global pandemic policy, his cover features a white mask with a white swastika you have to squint to see….
