The German government prosecuted bestselling writer CJ Hopkins for the horrific crime of criticizing the German government. “I’ve been writing and speaking out against fascism and authoritarianism for over 30 years,” says CJ Hopkins – a lifelong “man of the Left” according to Crisis Magazine. Imagine his surprise when German media accused him of being an extremist neo-Nazi and Amazon banned the cover art of his latest book. “What followed was a criminal investigation, book bans, and contentious legal battles—all aimed at silencing his dissent,” reports Sky News Australia. The government’s message, CJ says, is clear: “You will obey, or we will crush you.” Click here to read “The Rise of the New Normal Reich: Consent Factory Essays, Vol. III (2020-2021)” by CJ Hopkins.
