CJ Hopkins is an American playwright, novelist, and political satirist. He moved to Germany in 2004. He publishes a self-titled blog on Substack and is the editor of Consent Factory Publishing. CJ’s most recent book, “The Rise of the New Normal Reich,” draws a parallel between Nazi Germany and the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In August 2022, it was banned on Amazon in Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands. In the months that followed, CJ was charged by German authorities with violating a section of the German penal code that prohibits “disseminating information, the intention of which is to further the aims of a former National-Socialist organization [the Nazis].” He was recently acquitted, but the prosecutor chose to appeal the decision.
Thank you for inviting Mr Hopkins to share with us his grueling experiences, dealing with Germany's suppressive political agenda. I salute Mr. Hopkins, a much deserved hero of our time. I salute his intelligence, his courage, and his wisdom. I am inspired by his devotion to truth and freedom. Thank you again for airing this interview.
Thanks to Mr Perrino and to CJ Hopkins. I left Germany in 2004 and I don't regret it either. I'm still working on not being so 'obedient to authorities' and sometimes I'm less german than my fellow spanish friends.
Reading and listening to CJ Hopkins has helped a lot. Not to lose the faith in what brave people can do. To get a confirmation that that 'newnormalthing' is not normal at all. Wehret den Anfängen! (However you say that in english!)
While I support CJ on this, it must be remembered that South Africans too who were not supporters of the "Apartheid" regime had their flag for which they were proud of , was banned and made a criminal act to display it. All the minority whites were lumped into one and the ANC Courts who have been shown to be biased agreed to this draconian measure. It was declared by the Supreme Appeals Court as "any gratuitous public display of the old South African flag constitutes hate speech, unfair discrimination on the basis of race, and harassment in terms of equality legislation."
My first exposure to you. My main takeaway.: Given the subject matter, it’s mind-boggling and more than a little demoralizing that you so blithely repeat the approved counter-narrative of a lab leaked, gain of function, pathogenic virus. I find it unbelievable that someone like yourself would he unaware of the overwhelming evidence pointing to NO spread of any pathogenic agent in the winter/spring of 2020. I’ll refer you to two references as a start: the work of Canadian physicist Denis Rancourt and American researcher, Michael Bryant, whose recent interview with Tom Cowan I will link.
Likewise, your uncritical reference to Bret Weinstein as a paragon of dissent is maddening. Again are you unaware of the following: at the beginning of the Great Lie he was among the most hysterical, going so far as to tell his listeners to strip all their clothes off when they returned home from being in the world. Also he’s responsible for the promotion of such dubious characters as Robert Malone, Steve Kirsch and Geert Vanden Bosch, and for pushing the ivermectin narrative. I won’t even get into his close ties with the various questionable characters who form the so called “Intellectual Dark Web.”
"Have a lot less respect for authority figures"! Well said CJ and agree. Our human nature is being used against us. I hope you inspire many to stop handing over their lives to others. Heard someone recently say...."Freedom=responsibility, Convenience=Control". It's your choice peeps.
I have been reading about this issue. It occurred to me that it really isn't about free speech. It is the fact that the Internet and Alt Media provide nearly FREE REACH. That is what needs to be stopped.
Of course I don't agree. But it is the ongoing sharing of insight and science that is shadow banned by main stream media that drive this concern about free speech. We can think whatever we want as long as we don't express it. But when we challenge consensus reality and share the valid challenge via the Internet or Alt media, that is what needs to be prevented.
Lets call a spade a spade. The problem is not FREE SPEECH. The problem is FREE REACH!
Thanks for this absorbing and important conversation. I've followed CJ since before they broke the world in 2020, and one thing he's underscored for me is what it means to have the absolute courage of your convictions. I never knew that compliance, cowardice, and fear were so rampant in western society before now. (And it may be among mankind, not just the west.) I wish you Godspeed, CJ, and hope that the authoritarians in Germany do not have the last word.
It is so absurd, not only because he is absolutely right with his statement... but with the background of Germany, not seeing what is happening is incredibly ignorant, naive or criminal.
We should all keep an eye on what a world we are live in since Covid, all the signs are there, so we should also say it out loud:
„Germany is back and we have nothing learned from history!“
Excellent, CJ is a brave man, and humble man. Thanks for the interview.
Thanks for listening, Bill!
Well done!

How many swings at a piñata do German persecutors get?
Too many.

Germany is constraining free speech. Let the people decide what should or should not be said. Not some arbitrary authority.

Is the move against FREE SPEECH or FREE REACH?

Powerful story, and crazier than I ever thought things were in Germany just 4 short years ago. Great narrative and he is worth a follow for sure.
