I never expected anything less from you, CJ, but I’m proud of and grateful to you for taking this to the Bundesverfassungsgericht. I know the legal hamster wheel takes a lot of out people, as is evidenced by the tragic suicide of Zimbabwe’s heroic Dr. Jackie Stone, who was hauled into court 27 times for the crimes of saving lives and championing medical ethics.

I encourage everyone to take six minutes to watch and share this sobering excerpt from Dr. Stone’s final interview:

https://x.com/lisanhenry/status/1842345291829121029

We must continue to fight for her and everyone else who can no longer do so.

DON’T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT.

Tha tis a tragedy, and a great loss.

I don’t know the timeline from the date of the interview to the date Dr Stone allegedly took her own life, or what happened to her in between, but I am finding it difficult to square such an obviously powerful and positive presence who says in the interview “…I don’t know where I’ll be in 5 years time…” to someone that would pull the plug.

The interview was filmed in July, so it was less than three months before she took her life on October 3. I suspected she may have been suicided like so many doctors who pose a threat to BigPharma profits have been, but someone who knows her confirmed to me privately that it was suicide when I asked about that possibility.

If you listen to the interview, she sounds like she’s at her wit’s end and is feeling despondent about the forces we are up against. She had lost her ability to practice medicine and was exhausted by the perpetual legal attacks. I think she lost her hope and didn’t see a clear way out of the Kafkaesque nightmare she was living and the totalitarian dystopia engulfing the world.

I agree that Dr. Stone was not a weak person who would "give up and take her own life" rather than continue on in her COURAGEOUS BATTLE AGAINST EVIL. I believe she was TAKEN OUT by those who knew she would never ever give them a moment's peace in their evil deeds. We all know who they are and what they are capable of, any day, any time.

I don't believe Dr. Stone took her own life. Quite easy to stage a suicide. This is beyond awful.

To everyone, if you watch this interview segment with the late Dr. Jackie Stone, who has either committed suicide or been "suicided", you'll hear that she said at the end, "We worked out that if you used silver, ivermectin, doxycycline and zinc, you would probably get a response, and the day we added ivermectin to our patients was the day that people really stopped stopped dying."

She also claimed she and her colleagues were being censored and so the public would never hear of these alternative treatments, and I assume that's true because I had never heard of her until today.

My "first impression" takeaway from this interview is that Dr. Stone was fed up with the situation but didn't look or sound like she had given up on life. But regardless of whether she was killed by assassins or she took her own life while the balance of her mind was disturbed due to the several years of harassment and persecution she was subjected to, make no mistake, her death was a kind of murder.

I don't go in for "categorical" statements very often. But Jackie Stone's death was definitely murder—one of many millions of murders during the current phase of the Great Reset conducted or orchestrated by persons who are only obeying orders or only issuing them—and we should always bear this in mind.

Thank you for that link - very telling interview.

To me, this is a woman who looked the beast in the eye and refused the temptation to sugar coat it. And I agree, the totalitarian train has long left the station and can't be stopped with social or political solutions anymore. They are to powerful now and it has to play out. On a practical level, we can't destroy it but it will destroy itself.

From there we have two ways out: Leaving this earth because we don't want to witness and suffer through what is coming. (And, btw, not every suicide (if it was suicide) is a tragic affair - it can be a conscious beautiful and intelligent choice, not a desperate act.).

To me, she radiated a knowing acceptance of what is, and an inner peace and she didn't come across to me as desperate.

Depending on how she died, her spiritual preparations and so forth, it could have been a conscious spiritually liberating act. The physical death of the body, when done consciously with deep spiritual understanding, can lead to enlightenment.

The other way out is a truly spiritual path that will lead to an ego death. Ego death is also a form of suicide but the physical body becomes irrelevant. It is the dis-attachment from from both, the illusionary belief that we are this separated mental persona we created or this physical body. It is the realization that we are neither of that but that we are simple, ordinary, pure awareness and love in action.

This is not a matter of belief as many religions tell us. It is a matter of personal experience. Believing is not knowing, it is the opposite. After a profound awakening experience we simple "know" our true nature. While we might slip back into everyday functioning as an ego-body-mind, this can't be unseen and everything changes after that.

Spiritual "Believing" only has a place in the same sense as a true and honest scientist temporarily beliefs an experiment from another scientist and then repeats it himself to proof or disproof it. We temporarily have to belief the mystics of all ages and cultures that ego-death is a real thing and can be achieved by ordinary people (mystics are the most ordinary people in the world, btw) This temporary belief gives the motivation to follow their instructions to proof or disproof their experiment within ourselves. This needs earnestness and intelligence, born from realizing our suffering and the suffering of the world.

If we persevere and grace is with us, we will have this awakening spirtual experience that show us our true nature without the flicker of a doubt.

Only then we "know". Only then will we reach the unassailable freedom from everything that keeps us in bondage. Only then will we reach lasting peace and joy that is truly independent of whatever happens around us.

What a mindfuck. The German government couldn't be more wrong, yet here we are. You are right to take it to the top. Maybe the more people hear about this, the more obvious its absurdity becomes. Hang in there! You are setting a precedent of fighting back that hopefully others will follow.

That it is covered extensively by German mainstream is already a win.

It doesn't matter that most of it is misrepresent it as long a few critical articles by people of status (the judge's article) are in support. This forces the topic to a national debate.

There will be millions of intelligent mask-hating Germans who hear of this the first time in mainstream. They then will look you up and see the art work of your book cover somewhere for the first time. And millions will say: "Fuck, that's exactly how I felt about the Covid Nazi's"

You are doing just fine with all of this.

Taking it to the "Bundesverfassungsgericht" will create even more publicity and you will become a role model to follow and give millions of people courage to speak up.

Next step is that an important German influencer takes your side. No nation likes "foreigners, outsiders," showing them their own dirt.

At that stage you (CJ) may or may not step back and look after your health and well-being and let the debate rage through Germany, forcing the totalitarian to double-down (totalitarians never back-down or admit) and force them to show even more of their hidden fascism.

That's when you have to watch your ego and not get pulled into politics and become "a leader" of some new political movement that will inevitable become corrupt and captured again by the mechanism of their increasing power-drunkenness. True dissidents never join any movement and never become leaders. Their job is to always point out abuse of power from a position of no power.

Grüß Gott! Nadie es profeta en su tierra!

When it started I said to my hubby : everybody now gets to try out their own inner...fill in the blanks with some totalitarian regime or the other, verboten. The template and the fingerprints of the same type of draconian ways of being were all over the place for those with eyes to see and ears to hear, I was denounced twice in a supermarket for not being a good little muzzle wearing minion of the state, not a funny experience considering that I was living in their country but coming from abroad as well. It is a creepy feeling that climbs up your spine and gives you flash backs of stories you've read and heard of and were told to remember in order for those ways to never take hold again...and that you had to take a stand from the beginning for it to not flounder and spread, my hats off to you for having a backbone, I guess most can only see clearly from the outside in. I clearly remember their arrogance and being right with all the might and violence of the state backing their plight, their fear of the invisible was clear, that is the only thought which gets a bit of my empathy going for the issue at hand, I wish you a peaceful day, Grüß Gott.

Honestly, mate, I can’t imagine how stressful all this is for you. I once was fucked over in an Australian court for a minor traffic offence and it probably cost me a year of my life. I think you are one of the few true dissidents left so we all want you around for much longer. :-) We need you for years to come to call out the bullshit from the sidelines.

My sense is that behind that grumpy, cranky and angry persona with a extraordinary good bullshit detector, beats a heart that truly cares for the people and the harm that is done to them. Just get the balance right and stay healthy and happy too. And don’t let them drag you into anything. Thank you for doing this.

I have been following the appalling illegal treatment of Reiner Fuellmich, lawyer and barrister, kidnapped in Mexico and air lifted to Germany. has been kept in solitary confinement for over one year now. with no charge brought - the three trivial ones were all dismissed. He was unable to visit his dying mother to say goodbye. His situation is worse than yours, so I well understand the horror that is modern Germany. Mr Fuellmich has brought class actions against the Dutch Bank and Volkswagon, successfully. He was engaged in heading a high level panel of people gathering evidence of the crime of the Covid fake Pandemic. I guess you know of him - his situation certainly brings confirmation of all you say of the New Normal Germany. I thank God I dont live there or have anyone I love do so.

I recognised this was almost certainly where we were in mid 2020. Unfortunately it hasn’t got easier to bear. Worse is moving around crowds of New Normal people who are aware of very little, other than things aren’t like they used to be.

Expand full comment

Welcome to my world! Most don't even want to realize that things aren't like they used to be, but pretend we did go back to "normal". It's alienating. "Normal" discussions have become impossible, because we would soon reach the point of divergence, where the split in world-views becomes too obvious to pretend we can continue to bridge the gap rhetorically.

I realized right when it began in 2020 that all we needed to do was say "no" and stand our ground. But I failed to get that point across. Except for a few cases, they took the jab. And practically everyone wore the petri dish on their face. If clients of mine took it off and put it on the table in front of me, I would tell them to keep it in their own pocket or bag, since they wouldn't leave their underwear on my table either...

Because I instinctively knew that the jabs would include some shedding technology - I learned early on that shedding technology existed for over a decade to inoculate a whole herd of animals by injecting a few animals only - I stopped seeing clients in person during the lockdowns and my husband and I have retreated into the mountains since, living like hermits. We have been healthy all this while. The only time we got sick (with two weeks of fever and never-ending coughs that sound like pertussis), was after spending a couple of hours in a closed room with a few jabbed people, in a polluted city. - Because I have been having the same symptoms every time I fly, I have been avoiding airplanes, and travelling in general. It started with the first edition of SARS, over two decades ago. My conclusions is that it's either the extreme EMFs on a plane - and the introduction of the next generation of cell phone technology - or something they spray in planes, or the chemtrails through which planes fly. It's not just the dry air and dehydration, as it didn't happen to me before 2002. Do you have any insights regarding airplanes in particular?

Double standards are the Hallmark of a crooked system.

We got plenty of that bullshit in the USA judicial system too.

They pull bullshit like standing and other stupid technicalities that were added by crooked judges in the past.

Why is there no punishment for judges that rule in a clearly crooked manner? Oh right, by design.

That's why justice is slow when it comes to rights of people, but quick when it comes to absolving corruption.

The answer is that the Separation of Powers has collapsed entirely.

Executive, legislative, judicial, police, corporate powers including media are unified.

They’re in a position where they can kill anyone they choose to & nothing at all will happen. They’re probably intoxicated because this has previously only happened within the confines of a single state.

Today, I think it’s everywhere.

Germany still has a Nazi Monkey on its shoulder it can't shake off, which I think is true of the TransAtlantican realm in general. I'm thinking of the Canadian Parliament cheering an actual Nazi War Criminal, completely out-of-touch with the historical irony of their applause. "Hate Speech" is a Trojan Horse for the suppression of political speech that goes against the State's narrative grain.

All of my 60+ years of life, I always kinda wondered if all German were Nazis. Call it prejudice or whatever, but for the Germans to have allowed that kind of government (regardless of their deep post-WW1-reparation resentments) somewhat illustrates what German culture (but probably all humans) is capable of. I even wondered whether my dad, who attended college in Germany and enjoyed German conversation the rest of his life, had a secret past.

Fast-forward to 2024 where all my mild suspicions about Germans have now been confirmed. Indeed there is a little Nazi in every German, because they are not only putting up with CJ's persecution/prosecution, they have ALREADY put up with the fascist COVID restrictions.

Americans are not blameless in their own toleration of the same, but I always felt that if the US government had pushed a little bit harder, they would've had a full-scale overthrow on their hands. Not so the Germans, apparently...?

Sorry, but this is a stupid unhelpful comment. Loving totalitarian power systems and control and violence against minorities has nothing to do with a specific race or nationality. This is a grave mistake because while you point and watch Germany, Nazi types pop up in your own neighbourhood and you won't even notice them until they smash your head in. And they could be old and white, or young and black, or female and gay - stereotyping always leads to losing touch on reality. Reconsider please.

I think that is absolutely true, Mike. Towards the end of the war, everyone wanted some Nazis, not just the US, but also Canada, the UK and the Soviets. Many of these Nazis were used in Operation Gladio (ultimately by the US and UK deep states/intel agencies, under the auspices of NATO), including Klaus Barbie.

I highly recommend this book, which I read just last week, to anyone who thinks a normie friend might read it:

Anyone who reads it and goes on to take (or worse, allows to be given to their children) any injection mandated, approved or even encouraged by their government would need to be certifiably insane. Only available as an e-book, unfortunately, so not so easy to give to a normie friend or family member, but worth a try.

Also, Dr David A Hughes has done a lot of work on the Nazi connection to the deep-state technocrats:

Expand full comment

Kerry doesn't seem to understand that in a democracy, "building consensus" starts from the ground up as a discovery process (as in journalism, properly executed), not from the top down as an assertion process (as in dictatorships everywhere).

And if there remains a disconnect between the the beliefs about positive facts and normative opinions of elected/appointed officials vs the public, it is the job of the officials to resolve those differences by either taking the time/resources to convince a (true) majority the public the officials are right ... or, swallowing their pride and submitting to the majority will.

Yes and no, Mike. I think your analysis of the current situation is often spot on. And yes, maybe, a revolution buys us some more enlightened time again (after a lot of violence and bloodshed and suffering) but, ultimately, we are only moving the deckchairs on a ship called "power-greed paradigm". This ship is built by all of us, not only the elites. After the revolution, as history tells us, the new guard will turn into the new tyrants governed and informed by the same dysfunctional "power-greed" paradigm built on a profound spiritual misconception that we are separated egoic body-minds that need to survive - the dog-eat-dog mentality that governs nature. In that paradigm, you are either the top dog or the underdog but the eating never stops. I think we can do better than that.

That's we still talk about a Laotse, a Socrates, a Buddha, a Jesus while those names that had absolute power while these mystics lives, are almost completely forgotten.

Nietzsche said:

“Man is a rope stretched between the animal and the Superman--a rope over an abyss.

A dangerous crossing, a dangerous wayfaring, a dangerous looking-back, a dangerous trembling and halting."

Superman is a very bad translation of "Uber-Mensch". The Nazi's also misrepresented and weaponized "Uber-Mensch" to wind up some kind of stupid specialness of the Arian race.

My translation of "Uber-Mensch" is simply "Mystic". We are all mystics in disguise. To bring it out we need genuine spiritual awakening experiences, not bullshit religious propaganda. Individual ego-death will lead to collective ego-death which will lead to the new upcoming paradigm of "unattached pure awareness and love".

It is either that or mass genocide on an unimaginable scale.

You should have put a trigger warning on this post, as it triggered me. What it triggered was a reminder of what Hannah Arendt said was the cause of totalitarianism in her classic work on that subject, and it was this:

Totalitarianism is the unfolding of the logic of a single idea to the exclusion of all else. Thus she writes, "... ideological thinking becomes independent of all experience from which it cannot learn anything new...." This is because everything is judged in terms of the unfolding of a single idea: the logic of a single idea. In Nazism, this idea was "the purity of the race," while in Stalinism, it was "the dictatorship of the proletariat." In Covid, it was (and is) "stay safe."

Of course to many of us the court's ruling makes no sense. Against all logic and common sense and historical warning, Germany slips into totalitarianism not because it has become more rational, but because it's been blinded by the ideology of "stay safe" and everything that strays from this is verboten: honest reasoning then must be twisted and warped to serve this one ideology. To the insane, everything seems sane: it all unfolds logically from the blind focus on one idea. Those who point out the obvious reality of this condition become enemies of the state (which has become wedded to this ideology) and of the one ideology to rule them all, the intolerant madness.

Thus the madness says: oh, we need to protect Germany from Nazi ideology and the falling into the irrationality of this thing that we want to avoid at all costs (!!!!) but the madness fails to see that Nazism wasn't a symbol; Nazism was at it's core a mad and intolerant ideology that swept away everything before it. Thus the court ruled that, according to the New Normal ideology of "stay safe," it has to sweep everything away, and in it's utter blindness it can't see that totalitarianism is once again taking hold. Unsurprisingly, the new totalitarianism doesn't simply recycle old ideas but finds new ideas to manifest complete intolerance and indifference.

So, thank you. I think.
