So, the German authorities have filed an appeal to overturn my acquittal in criminal court last week. Apparently, their plan is to keep putting me on trial until they get a judge who is willing to convict me of something, or to bankrupt me with legal costs. Silly me, for a moment there, I was actually starting to believe this was over.
Hey CJ, I just sent you a chunk of change through PayPal to go toward your heroic stance against tyranny. I have a substack as well, www.shrewviews.com, and so far I have given all of my proceeds to Druthers newspaper (an alt newspaper in Canada) and to you!! Hopefully, I will be giving more as time goes on.
I admire you, and your amazing work (which I see through your substack and also on OG where I also am published...an honour to be even remotely associated with you!) I wish you the best in continuing this fight and certainly wish you did not have to go through this. You are making a mark, at least they are trying to swat you!!
As I wrote in my Note about this latest head-smacking development:
“Of course, they did. The battle rages on. They’re only giving @CJ Hopkins an opportunity to further expose their totalitarianism, persecution of dissidents, and mockery of the justice system.
I meant what I said in my article about this the other day, CJ:
“I fervently hope CJ will turn his experience into a full-length play and that The Verdict will become The Crucible of this century, with his play and the one-act of his courtroom coup de grace against New Normal fascism being performed all over the world and in multiple languages for centuries to come. May his historic speech serve as a continual reminder of how close civilization came to falling into the abyss of totalitarianism and how it was courageous dissenters like CJ and the Canadian truckers who pulled us back from the brink of self-annihilation.” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/a-good-day-for-freedom-truth-and)
Please tell me that play is in the works, CJ. This must be memorialized as a testament to the madness of these times to help bring this tragicomedy to a curtain close and prevent future remakes.
In the US, we used to have “Double Jeopardy” in which one couldn’t be retried for a crime they were acquitted of. That right was destroyed by the Feds in order to appease the masses in the “Rodney King” show trial. Until the governments of the world are held responsible for their lawfare, we are doomed in the west. Best of luck in the Forth Reich.
Hate to quote Nixon, but the only way you can be beat is to give up. I'm donating too. You're our dude and an example to inspire courage when the time comes to show our quality too.
This was a great article, CJ. Thanks for continuing to put into (very succinct) words those thoughts and ideas which are not so easy for some of us to articulate, although we know their truth. Thank you for fighting the good fight.
"Call me a hopeless idealist if you want, but I have to believe that somewhere deep down inside even the most fanatical New Normals (or most of them anyway) is a decent human being, with principles, who does not want to be a fascist (or a least doesn’t want to look like a fascist), and who can still be reached, if they can be forced into the position that judge was forced into last week."
I think that is a good strategy. It is not used enough. Not everybody, but most people do have good intentions. Holding up the mirror, as you say, will be better than accusing them of sth they dont believe they are.
Greetings Mr. Hopkins. I've been following your thoughts since the Black Death 2.0 back in 2020. I too am an expat, came to Germany around the same time you did. This is why I am surprised that somewhere along the way you did not learn that if a swastika in any form — whether the size of a kernel of corn, in any type of imagery, drawn in the sand with a stick at the beach, carved in a pumpkin, exhaled by a cigarette smoker into a demonically generated “Sonnenrad”, sharply focused or barely visible like that which you used —if this evil symbol should appear anywhere within Germany's borders -- if even a lone one-eyed man stricken with cataracts should catch a fleeting glimpse of it, he would in that moment suffer a kind of seizure and immediately run out into the street, arm raised in the "Hitler Gruß",goose-stepping through the neighborhood and screaming the “Horst Wessel Lied” at the top of his lungs. This simply won’t do, Mr. Hopkins. Imagine the contagion that would ensue, which would make covid, which claimed countless millions of souls, seem like a widespread outbreak of athlete’s foot. That said, in all seriousness now, I will say a little prayer that this lunacy will soon be behind you. All the best!
Have you contacted Jeff Childers (of Covid and Coffee substack fame)? He does a great multiplier using GiveSendGo which we contribute to when we see a good cause. I'm sure he'd be happy to give you a mention and I would really like to contribute in that way as I don't like Paypal.
All members of the Council of Europe (which includes nearly all European countries and every member of the European Union) have adopted the European Convention on Human Rights.[10] The optional Protocol No. 7 to the convention, Article 4, protects against double jeopardy: "No one shall be liable to be tried or punished again in criminal proceedings under the jurisdiction of the same State for an offence for which he or she has already been finally acquitted or convicted in accordance with the law and penal procedure of that State."[11]
All EU states ratified this optional protocol except for Germany, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands.[12] In those member states, national rules governing double jeopardy may or may not comply with the provision cited above.
In other countries, there are in some cases options to retry if new evidence has been found or if the accused has made a credible confession of guilt, neither of which apply here, obviously.
Just for context. Sorry to hear this, CJ. Fucking kangaroo court bullshit.
Congrats! Holding up the mirror to these delusional puppets is a tactic that Professor Mattias Desmet recommends in order to deal with people under the spell of Mass Formation (Psychosis).

Incredible article. Absolutely terrifying.
The minds of the enemy are so mediocre, their souls so small, it’s THAT reality that’s hard to grasp; and once grasped, hard to bear.

Continuing my paid support while you continue fighting the good fight. We are with you!

Germany apparently took the wrong lesson from fascism. It’s not artwork that’s fascist—it’s the notion that “our totalitarianism is necessary.”
Plus, this would be called double-jeopardy in the US. Prosecution can’t appeal.
They’re out to break you — that’s obvious— to make an example of anyone who dares laugh at them, expose their hypocrisy or crumble under threats.

Hey CJ,
Keep up the good fight - it’s a damn shame that you have to carry on with this ludicrous pantomime, but here we are.
Hoping you’ll ultimately prevail. I believe you will, and I think you’ve got a lot of followers who believe as I do.

I'm so sorry, CJ. Don't even know what to say.
