When Freedom of Speech Is No Longer Free

Via Mercola

Story at-a-glance

  • The Berlin state prosecutor’s office is pursuing criminal charges against Hopkins for “disseminating propaganda, the content of which is intended to further the aims of a former National Socialist organization”
  • The propaganda referenced is two tweets from 2022, which include an image with a mask carrying a faint image of a swastika
  • In Germany, national laws prohibit Nazi insignia but expression aimed at “countering anti-constitutional activities,” as was Hopkins’ intent, is supposed to be protected
  • Hopkins speaks openly about the pathologized totalitarianism that is subtly taking over society; during the COVID-19 pandemic, he criticized lockdowns and COVID-19 shot mandates, as well as the censorship of dissenters
  • When citizens are punished for criticizing government policies, we should all worry that those in control are moving toward taking away something that’s essential in a free society — dissent

C.J. Hopkins, an award-winning American playwright, novelist and political satirist based in Berlin, speaks openly about the pathologized totalitarianism that is subtly taking over society. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he criticized lockdowns and COVID-19 shot mandates, as well as the censorship of dissenters.

The 1st Amendment Will Not Save You

Guest Post by CJ Hopkins

So, I’m getting my German ducks in a row in advance of my appearance in criminal court in Berlin on January 23rd. As most of my readers know, I am being prosecuted by the German authorities on trumped-up charges of tweeting Nazi propaganda, i.e., these two Tweets from 2022:

I’m not going to rehash all the details of my case again here. I have done that ad nauseam. And at this point it’s been widely reported on, most recently by James Kirchick in The Atlantic …

German Courts Are Going FULL Dystopia

Via Off-Guardian

It’s been an astonishing couple of days for German judges. Well, “astonishing” if you’ve been living in a cave for the last four years.

Many of you likely already know that satirist and playwright (and frequent OffG contributor) CJ Hopkins is being prosecuted in Germany for “disseminating propaganda, the contents of which are intended to further the aims of a former National Socialist organization,”

All because the cover of his book has a swastika on it.

Needless to say, the charges are absurd. Insultingly so. You can read CJ’s first-hand account of this nonsense here and here.

Anyone who isn’t a) stupid or b) delusional can plainly see these charges have nothing to do with a stock-image swastika, and everything to do with the content of the book. In short, they are politically motivated charges brought against an author for criticizing the state. The very essence of dystopian tyranny.

By ordering that he be JAILED for 60 days, or fined €3,600, for “spreading Nazi propaganda,” Germany AGAIN proves C.J. Hopkins RIGHT about what’s happening there

Guest Post by Mark Crispin Miller

That government reveals the same commitment to free speech—and subtle sense of humor—that it showed all the world from 1933-1945 (and that “our” government is emulating more and more)
