So easy to cheer and say positive things from the comfort of my home. I pray for you though. I’ve never been in as dangerous a position as you are in and I’m grateful for that. Your a good man Mr Hopkins.

If you call upon your readers we will support you in the ways we are able.

“Show me the man, and I will show you the crime.”

—Lavrentiy Beria, Chief of the Soviet NKVD secret police under Stalin

The charges are so preposterous and the potential punishment for the “crime” of exposing fascism is so extreme, I feel like we are witnessing meta-satire at an epic level here. It would be funny if it weren’t so harrowing and your very freedom weren’t at risk.

I do know they messed with the wrong satirist, and this Keystone Gestapo attempt will backfire big-time. The only downside is that when you triumph over the accusations as I’m confident you will (although we can’t take anything for granted in New Normal Germany), we won’t get to enjoy reading your historic “Letter from Berlin Prison.”
