CJ Hopkins Declared a "Hate-Speech" Criminal in Germany
CJ Hopkins, an award-winning playwright, author, and political satirist, has officially been declared a "hate-speech" criminal by the New Normal German authorities. This decision comes after the Berlin Appellate Court overturned Hopkins' initial acquittal.
Hopkins was accused of spreading pro-Nazi propaganda through his tweets, where he challenged the official Covid narrative and compared the New Normal Germany to Nazi Germany. He used the cover art of his book to make this comparison, which did not sit well with the New Normal German authorities.
Despite being acquitted in his original trial, the Berlin Public Prosecutor's office appealed the verdict. The Appellate Court subsequently declared Hopkins guilty, making him a "hate-speech" criminal.
Hopkins' Statement to the Berlin Appellate Court
In response to the court's decision, Hopkins shared his statement to the Berlin Appellate Court. He began by introducing himself as an award-winning playwright, author, and political satirist whose work is read by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. He emphasized his long-standing opposition to fascism, authoritarianism, and totalitarianism.
Hopkins admitted to posting two tweets in August 2022, where he challenged the official Covid narrative and compared the New Normal to Nazi Germany. He argued that he exercised his right according to German law, similar to what other German celebrities and major German newspapers and magazines have done.
He pointed out that Stern and Der Spiegel, two major German magazines, also published covers featuring swastikas to warn the public of the rise of a new form of totalitarianism. Hopkins argued that he did the same by comparing the New Normal to Nazi Germany.
Hopkins' Criticism of German Authorities
Hopkins criticized the German authorities for their actions during 2020 to 2023. He accused them of declaring a national state of emergency without concrete evidence and suspending constitutional rights, similar to what Nazi Germany did in March 1933. He also accused the authorities of forcing people to wear symbols of conformity, banning protests against their decrees, censoring political dissent, and punishing political dissidents.
For speaking out against these actions, Hopkins was put on trial in criminal court twice. He was reported to the Federal Criminal Police Office and the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, the German domestic Intelligence agency. His book was banned in Germany, and he was forced to spend thousands of Euros in legal fees to defend himself against the charges.
Bottom Line
The case of CJ Hopkins raises important questions about freedom of speech and the right to criticize authorities. While Hopkins has been declared a "hate-speech" criminal, he continues to assert his right to express his views and criticize the actions of the German authorities. This case serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between maintaining public order and preserving individual freedoms.
