A request to all the nice folks emailing me and asking "WHY THE HELL DON'T YOU LEAVE GERMANY? WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING IN GERMANY?" and instructing me to "GET THE HELL OUT OF GERMANY ALREADY!" and so on. Please stop doing that, i.e., emailing me, and, instead, just wire me about €500K, which I promise I will use to uproot my wife and myself and flee Germany in the middle of this criminal prosecution and buy a home (and a residency permit) on a remote island in a location I'm not going to disclose online ... or at least just put your replies in my BTL Comments, and knock it off with the emails.

I've done it CJ. 17 years ago. Not on the lam or anything like that, but a confluence of circumstances made me decide to leave the US. Sold everything acquired up though my middle 50s, packed a backpack and day pack, boarded a plane at LAX and left. Just like that. I worried about reestablishing a life as I went along simply enjoying the new freedom. You don't need $500K unless you are enamored with Western first-world nations, or first-world nations anywhere for that matter - and that should be close to have been beaten out of you by now - or not. "It's the principle." Of course it is. And the German Neo-Fascists will hammer your head against that brick wall at the back of the stage, and when they are finished with you I doubt you'll enjoy the fame of a Solzhenitsyn for your efforts. "But you don't understand." Yeah, actually I do. There is a time to cash in what chips you have left, accept your losses as part of the game, push yourself away from the table, and to get the hell out of Vegas and seek some other place on Earth which hasn't yet devolved into abject totalitarianism. There are places out here, generally in the third-world and developing nations. Life can still be good, you just have to push yourself out of your comfort zone that you've acclimatized to in the West: that totalitarian, Fascistic West which has your ticket in their "fair and democratic" judicial hands and are about to "punch" it - to "do" you, just like they have done to Compact Magazin GmbH.

In Germany the war is now on the freedom of speech and assembly and it's just gotten started. Go while there is still a window of opportunity.

Absolutely correct, count your blessings while you still can. In Germany they're now planning to criminalize every voice against greenliberal, which means getting rid of AfD and BSW. It's all going back to the 30s, the NSDAP telling people what "a real German" has to do

It's like putting lipstick on a pig; you still have a pig. Dress up totalitarianism in a rainbow, liberal flag and call it "democracy," but you still have totalitarianism.

The ironies of the cyclical nature of history should not be lost on the astute observers and students of history. The real question those in Germany, like CJ, should ask is, "And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches towards 'Berlin' to be 'reborn'?"

And like many in Germany had to ask themselves in the 1930s, when do you "cut and run for your personal survival" before the gaping maw of that beast closes around you and cuts off your escape for good? Personally - I think we are there.

BSW is not a voice against the green Khmer, they are as deeply red as the rest of them. Its sole purpose is to keep the eastern AfD from reaching majority. People from the former GDR notice much (but not all) of the new Germany.

I'm always amused by those sorts of things as well. My response is always "where exactly do you think you will go to escape these fiends? They will come find you, wherever you are, as long as you have something of value for them to steal."

Dearest HOP,

I don't understand ppl. U R obviously an intelligent man. Don't they get it that you have tossed and turned and discussed with relevant loved ones the issues around leaving Germany? Probably many times. Probably for hours!

My situation is not anywhere near what u have going on but I can relate in a small way. A few years ago, tenants in 3 apts changed within mos. All ppl in those apts now are related in various ways.

They have harassed me in so many ways, for years. (Yes, I have complained to all relevant agencies.)

My point here is that I had to quit mentioning the harassment becuz ppl always say, “Just move.” On some level, I think they want to “fix it” so they don’t have to hear abt what’s happening to me. They feel helpless. So I don’t mention it much anymore.

Example: Today I forgot to turn off my Bluetooth speaker and 15 mins after I ran into Mr. R on porch, there was loud dark metal coming out of my speaker.

Your response to those who have emailed you abt moving was much kinder than I would be under the circumstances.

The reason they are treating you differently than the Spiegel (although Spiegel used similar journalistic means) is that you are more insignificant than the Hamburg magazine. They only attack the small ones, like lousy cowardly scavenger hyenas. This fact also applied to Wirecard, where authorities said it's too big to criticise. I reported this in my article "Failed State Germany: Die Wirecard-Connection deutscher Behörden" under https://analogo.de/2021/05/21/failed-state-germany-die-wirecard-connection-deutscher-behoerden/ or in English in Whistleblower Network News https://whistleblowersblog.org/opinion/failed-state-germany-the-german-authorities-wirecard-connection/

This is the most frightening post, in my opinion, you've ever written. And your note at the end: "It’s something to behold, that brick wall is, especially up close and personal. You’ll see when you get here. I’ll save you a seat" is... beyond frightening.

I recently began reading sections of Mein Kampf (it's available on archive.org). I was surprised by what I read. I didn't know what to expect other than that it was banned and "dangerous." What I've found is a "how to" for what was done that might as well be describing what *is* being done today.

The sections on propaganda and controlling information with one singular voice especially poignant. The description of psychological manipulations. The use of words like "freedom" and "equality" that fit how they are being used by authorities today.

A description of how language was weaponized under the Third Reich is immortalized in LTI, Language of the Third Reich by Victor Klemperer (also available on archive.org.)

From what I've read so far I don't believe that Mein Kampf was long-banned because it was dangerous for the public to read and get inspired by. I believe it was long-banned because it reads as a playbook, a guide for what the totalitarians are doing to us today. And have been doing for longer than we realize. They didn't want us to see them until it was too late. By banning it most of us did NotSee what was being done.

I encourage others to read it. Hitler was a murderous mad man. Who the smartest, most educated, the lawyers and doctors, jurists and industrialists all supported, not finding him to be a mad man at the time. They were in alignment with what he wrote. Hitler was defeated. But totalitarianism, fascism was not. It makes sense to know thy enemy in order to defeat them. Knowing Mein Kampf will allow us to defeat them, not join them. Those who ban Mein Kampf (and political parties, and swastikas under masks) are the actual NotSee's they claim others are. And should be treated accordingly.

This is very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Mein Kampf isn’t banned in the USA. But I’ll bet you anything that ordering or downloading it puts you on a watchlist of some sort.

Probably. CJ is in Germany. They're pretty skittish about it. It was banned for decades, I think a few years ago they lifted the ban. There's still the big taboo of seeking to read it, notwithstanding legality. I posted a direct link to it on archive.org on a prior comment on eugyppius's Stack a few months ago, he's in Germany. The comment was deleted and it wasn't until a month later I realized I wasn't getting his page notifications anymore; I had been unsubscribed. I was able to resubscribe, I wasn't permanently banned, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a lot of censorship of anything Third Reich-ish there, either by algorithm or fear. For the reasons I offer in my first comment, so we do NotSee them, the direct comparisons and patterns we see emerging, are connecting the dots to. It's why CJ is in the grips of their system he's in.

Agree totally, but expected much more from my former compatriots. For chrissake, I had assumed that the experience of the Third Reich and its aftermath would have entered the German DNA and inoculated Germans against the rise of fascism and a Fourth. However, Germans still are used to deference (if not obeisance) to authority, and the reigning elites and politicians love this, keep up the pressure, and carefully protect residents from any interfering truth.

Let's remember that very few Germans turned against the Nazi regime out of ideological conviction - it took the hard knocks of experience to do that. They're already getting a taste of hard knocks, and will get the full lesson with more abuse and another unnecessary round against Russia. History at least rhymes, if it doesn't repeat.

They must be freaking out about this because the book cover is characterizing a truth they are desperate to deny, in a shadow shoving kind of way.

There are issues in the Nazi period and WW I and II that might be resolved in 50 years. They are still too sensitive, with damaging primary sources still inaccessible to try to pursue now.

The German economy over that period is a good example. Yes, Hitler brought full employment - building infrastructure (e.g., highways), equipping the new Armed Forces, as well as civilian social and 'make work' programs. Who financed all this considering reparation payments, inflation etc.? Remember what happened to Austrian politician Jörg Heiderwhen he mentione

I did not hit "post" on the the above, and was unable to complete this draft, nor correct or delete the last sentence. Do I have a 'reader' as I type, or is CJ's luck rubbing off on me? The completion of the sentence should be "... Haider when he mentioned Hitler's "rational" labour policy at a public assembly?" [He was denounced as a Nazi and haunted internationally. He also died in a mysterious car accident in 2008 that was investigated spuriously and evidence quickly 'buried'.]

Yes indeed, who financed Hitler? History is rarely black and white until you "follow the money" and really get to the nub of it all.

The father of the two Bush Presidents in the USA funded Hitler! Baby Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld caused 911; no terrorists were involved! Rumsfeld flew the planes by remote control (he had and advanced degree to do that), one proof is seen when the real pilots tried to regain control of their planes by moving the steering wheels up and down.

That's an interesting take on things for 911 - remote control of the planes. As an engineer who's fired explosives I saw a professional demolition job, plane (or no plane as in the case of building-7)

Expand full comment

You are 100% correct about the building across the street (building 7?). Twenty eight of the 30 guys that laced the explosives there "mysteriously" diasappeared within 2 weeks.

The Pentagon was hit because Rumsfeld's staff was onto him in that wing. He murdered them and destroyed their meeting paperwork. Bush sent the proof to China, committing Treason for hiding murder scene rubble, but was never charged.

I smell a US State Department rat behind the German Judiciary. The State Dept. failed to come to the aid of American citizen Gonzalo Lira in Ukraine, who was quite critical of Project Ukraine, and basically died in jail through neglect (Ukrainian authorities tasked one of Lira's fellow prisoners to beat him up the first time he was jailed for criticizing Kiev's authoritarian regime). I would at least give the US Embassy in Berlin a try, pay them a visit and see what they say--and maybe bring a screen shot of the two German publications prominently displaying swastikas on their covers.

As if that helped Lira.

State ignored Gonzalo since he spoke out against their “Zelensky Agenda.” Nevertheless, good to get them and their negligence on record if you can. Can’t prove it from here, but my intuition tells me that the State Dept. is behind the prosecution of CJ for his “thoughtcrimes.” All part of the Censorship Industrial Complex in the West.

But why, Goddamnit? Why so selective, especially when contrasted with other German citizens who’ve been much more outspoken about COVID and masking? I just watched a two hour interview by Doc Malik with anti-Vaxxer Dr Michael Nehls MD PhD, (link below) and he’s not being prosecuted. Why?

Michael graduated from medicine in 1986 in Germany but never practised clinical medicine. Instead, he went into research and now has published several books mainly in German. Michael’s article titled "Unified Theory of Alzheimer's Disease (UTAD): implications for prevention and curative therapy" was internationally published in the Journal of Molecular Psychiatry. For his breakthrough discovery regarding the development, prevention and therapy of Alzheimer's disease, he received the 2015 Hanse Award for Psychiatry from the University of Rostock, Germany.

“The Indoctrinated Brain - How to Successfully Fend Off the Global Attack on Your Mental Freedom” is his latest and arguably greatest work. In it, Michael talks about the effects of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines on human cognition and autonomy. Nehls suggests that these vaccines, among other modern pressures, and propaganda methods are part of a global assault manipulating the human mind, aiming to facilitate increased governmental control over individuals, A global war on the human mind.

It's easier to go after a lone wolf, than someone with the establishment backing them. But, beware, they know about these other contradicting people. Lone victims are easy, and probably the most loud and rebellious (if CJ and Lira are indicators). Take them out first, then who's left to defend the guy in research?

Thank you for posting this. The Nehls book is essential reading. There are some free PDFs on the Internet I think. Dr. Nehls' work deserves every prize under the sun. In the book you site, Nehls states repeatedly that he considers menticide one of the main goals of the injections that he calls "Spikes" rather than the mendacious 'jabs' lingo that dribbled out of British English to contaminate the world.
