The Legal Battle of C.J. Hopkins

This is an important article. As C.J. explains, this is not just about him…it’s about us. The German government and western governments around the world want to set an example, let the rest of us know we better not try anything. Similar things are happening here in America (C.J. is in Germany) with many of our best doctors and really anyone who challenges the “narrative.” Witness what is happening to Trump for having the gall to question an election.

The Berlin District Court has issued a so-called “penalty order” or “order of punishment,” in which I am advised that I am now officially a criminal in Germany, for tweeting two Tweets. According to my attorney, a trial will now be scheduled, at which my attorney will argue the case before the judge that just issued the “order of punishment.” At this trial, the judge will listen attentively to the arguments my attorney has already made in writing, consider them carefully, and find me guilty, again. Then the judge will reaffirm the “order of punishment.”
Go ahead, read that paragraph again.
Purveyors of Misinformation
There are not many outlets reporting this story, not outlets with any significant reach. If you are reading this column, you’re probably aware of various alternative media outlets that are, but most of these outlets are quarantined off where “normal” people never have to see them, and are delegitimized as “unreliable sources” and purveyors of “misinformation,” and so on.
The Message is for You
The point of prosecutions like this (and much more serious and significant prosecutions, like that of Julian Assange, for example) is to send a message. The naked disregard for the rule of law, the blatant absurdity of the charges, the open contempt for democratic principles, is all part of the message. It’s not a message about the law. It’s a message about power. Who has it, and who doesn’t. And what happens to those who refuse to bow down to it.
The message is not intended for me, or for more important figures like Julian Assange, or the many other less well-known dissidents that are being made examples of currently. We’re just the medium that conveys the message. We’re the delivery service. The message is for you.

I have been hesitant to do this, because … well, I have a problem asking for money. As in I don’t like to do it. But I have been deeply moved by all the readers who have been asking where they can send donations and otherwise expressing their support, more than I probably let on, as I generally try not to get too emotional in public.
Oh, and, one more thing, and then I’ll give you the information.
If you’re just getting by or struggling financially, please don’t send me your money. I run my Substack on a “free-or-paid” subscription basis because I know that many of my regular readers can’t afford a paid subscription, and I have faith that readers who can afford one will voluntarily pay for one. That model has been working well so far.
