So, the Berlin State Prosecutor has launched another criminal investigation of me. Apparently, I’m being charged with reporting on the original investigation of me that the Berlin State Prosecutor launched in June.
What happened is, the prosecutor visited my blog and read a column I published in July, The Criminalization of Dissent (Revisited), which included screenshots of the alleged “hate-crime” Tweets that the original criminal investigation is based on, and that resulted in the Order of Punishment that the Berlin District Court handed down two weeks ago. So, the prosecutor opened a new criminal investigation and sent my attorney an official notice explaining the gravity of the additional charges.
The charges are of the utmost gravity. I am officially accused of “relativizing” or “minimizing” the crimes of the Nazis … by republishing the two Tweets that I originally tweeted.
Here, once again, are the Tweets …
Yes, that’s right, I just published them again. I am going to explain why I published them again.
I’m not going to explain the Tweets again. I have explained them in several previous columns. I have explained them to Matt Taibbi of Racket News, Max Blumenthal of The Grayzone, James Freeman, Patrick Henningsen, Elena Louisa Lange, Dirk Pohlmann, and Christine Black at Brownstone Institute (forgive me if I’m forgetting anyone). I explained them to Stefan Millius of Weltwoche, and to another journalist at a big Swiss newspaper. My attorney has explained them, in German, to the prosecutor, and to German audiences on Kontrafunk. RT published a piece explaining them. I believe they have been exhaustively explained.
Not that they ever really needed explanation. You would have to be a certified moron to believe they “minimized,” or “relativized,” or in any way made light of the crimes of the Nazis. You and I are not certified morons. Neither is the Berlin State Prosecutor. Neither is the District Court of Berlin. Not to put too fine a point on it, the charges are horseshit, and everyone involved knows it. They are a blatant pretext to crackdown on dissent.
OK, now let me explain why I just published the Tweets again, knowing full well that the Berlin State Prosecutor is probably going to read this column, become extremely agitated, and charge me with additional “hate crimes.”
No, I am not a glutton for punishment. I’m not at all enjoying my introduction to the so-called “German legal system.” It is taking up my time. It is making me angry. It is upsetting my wife, which I do not appreciate. It is costing me a lot of money. It has forced me to ask other people for money, which is something I do not like to do. It’s screwing with my sleep. It is distracting me from my work. And so on. Which is exactly the point.
The goal of horseshit prosecutions like mine (and those of many other dissidents currently) is (a) to punish us for speaking out against “New Normal” totalitarianism by making our lives as miserable as possible, (b) to make examples of us to discourage others from speaking out, and (c) to intimidate us into shutting the fuck up.
Totalitarians, fascists, and other power freaks are essentially just glorified schoolyard bullies. They may cloak themselves in the mantle of the law, but their modus operandi is brute force. Beneath all the bullshit, their message is simple: “either do what we say, or we will hurt you.”
OK, prepare yourself, because I’m going to give you some advice. I do not generally like to do that, but, in this case, I’m going to make an exception.
Never, ever, give in to a bully. The second you do, that bully owns you. What the bully wants, more than whatever he is demanding, more than anything else in the world, is your fear. The bully interprets your fear as respect, because the bully doesn’t understand respect. The bully craves your fear, and your obedience, because they reify the bully’s “authority.” They enable the bully to feel powerful and important. The bully needs to feel “powerful” and “important” because the bully feels weak and unimportant, and afraid. All fascists are essentially cowards. They are cowards, and nihilists, who hate themselves, and fear themselves, and hate and fear life, which is why they are so obsessed with controlling everything.
The point is, never give in to a bully. Never reify a bully’s “authority.” If you do, you will find yourself sucked into the bully’s sadistic, nihilistic “reality.” You will be playing by the bully’s rules. And that is all “reality” actually is, a set of rules we agree to play by, or, in this case, do not agree to play by.
So, getting back to my criminal case, and the Berlin State Prosecutor’s latest attempt to bully me into shutting up and demonstrating my “respect” for the “authority” and “power” of the Berlin State Prosecutor, fuck that. I do not respond well to threats. I do not take orders from totalitarians and fascists, or any other type of authoritarians or bullies. So that is why I have republished those Tweets, and why I will continue to republish those Tweets every time the German authorities threaten me with additional criminal charges for refusing to obey their “authority.”
Again, I am under no illusions. I expect the prosecutor to file new charges and issue further threats, which I will defy, which will lead to additional charges, and so on. I am not looking forward to that, but I don’t have any other choice, not if I want to be able to respect myself.
If you have any doubts about whether that will happen (i.e., an endless cycle of new bullshit criminal charges stemming from my repeated refusal to respond to the German authorities’ bullying), well, let me tell you about another dissident the German authorities are currently persecuting. I’ll do it quickly, and then I’ll let you go.
As many of my readers are aware, I am presently holed up in an undisclosed location in the Italian countryside. Michael Ballweg, the founder and lead organizer of the “Querdenken” movement, was also here for a while. Michael, who is an excellent cook, whipped up some delicious “extremist” dinners, after which we all sat around “denying Covid,” “conspiracy theorizing,” brainwashing each other with “Russian propaganda,” and “delegitimizing the state,” and so on. Late at night, when the other “extremists” were sleeping, Michael and I discussed our criminal cases.
Michael’s case is a bit more serious than mine. Michael just spent nine months in jail. The German authorities have seized his assets, and frozen all his funds, so he is homeless, and bankrupt, and they are prosecuting him for attempted fraud, money laundering, and tax evasion, or, in other words, for launching a protest movement. If you’re not familiar with Michael and Querdenken, you can read the official propaganda disseminated by the usual “mainstream” media or the Intelligence officers who edit Wikipedia, or … here’s a Spiked article to start you off. Then, go ahead, do your own research.
The most absurd aspect of Michael’s case is the German authorities’ “theory of his crimes.” According to this theory, Michael’s devious scheme was to commit serious fraud by … well, basically, launching a nationwide protest movement that was certain to get a ton of media attention and incur the wrath of the German authorities. As any criminal mastermind will confirm, the best way to commit major fraud is to absolutely infuriate the government by organizing a series of massive protests, and generate tons of media attention, because you definitely want as much publicity as possible while you are defrauding your unsuspecting supporters of their voluntary donations to your cause.
Seriously, this is their “theory of the crime,” which would make Michael Ballweg the most idiotic and incompetent fraudster in the history of fraud.
I could go on about his case, and mine, or those of the numerous other dissidents that are currently being made examples of, and about the broader GloboCap crackdown on dissent, which is happening, not just in New Normal Germany, but all throughout the New Normal Reich, but I need to end here and go water some plants. I am serving as “caretaker” of this thoughtcriminal sanctuary, and I take my responsibilities seriously.
I’ll keep you (and the Berlin State Prosecutor) posted on my further “hate crimes.” In the meantime, best wishes from somewhere in Italy!

I loved your German Covid articles and agreed with all of them but this was predictable.
I warned ex British ambassador Craig Murray that a satirical article he wrote would get him in trouble. He ignored me and used the article in his defence ! They put him in jail for eight months on totally trumped up charges. That’s a real disgusting jail full of hard as nails, working class Edinburgh criminals.
Yes, they are out to get you. Not me or your alternative pals, just you and you keep winding them up. They don’t like being compared with Nazis, especially not by an American.

“They don’t like being compared with Nazis, especially not by an American”.
That’s because they really don’t understand. They think that because they say the Nazis were really bad people, and the Jews are very nice people, they are squeaky clean and could not possibly be accused of resembling the Nazis in any way.
And yet… in so many of the most important nways, they are exactly like the Nazis. They just don’t understand freedom, especially freedom of speech. They think that being “good” means approving of some things and disapproving of others, and punishing anyone who disagrees with them.
The idea that goodness might involve letting other people say and do whatever they want would seem absurd to them. Poor benighted souls.

I hope I’m wrong, but my guess is that you’re not a Tolkien fan. Thus, sharing this apt “Lord Of The Rings” excerpt to someone being subjected to the lawfare death of a thousand cuts may not be appreciated. Be that as it may, I think the excerpt nicely illustrates your approach in dealing with bullies. So here’s a brief setup and the excerpt:
____________________________________
After successfully fulfilling their quest, Frodo and his hobbit companions at long last return to their home, The Shire, only to find that it has apparently been taken over by a gang of fascist thugs– bullies (“fascist” is my accurate descriptive shorthand, not Tolkien’s term). Sadly and infuriatingly, the returning heroes discover that the thugs have successfully intimidated or recruited formerly (and normally) convivial hobbits as would-be enforcers:
____________________________________
As evening fell they were drawing near to Frogmorton, a village right on the Road, about twenty-two miles from the Bridge. There they meant to stay the night; The Floating Log at Frogmorton was a good inn. But as they came to the east end of the village they met a barrier with a large board saying NO ROAD; and behind it stood a large band of Shirriffs with staves in their hands and feathers in their caps, looking both important and rather scared.
‘What’s all this?’ said Frodo, feeling inclined to laugh.
‘This is what it is, Mr. Baggins,’ said the leader of the Shirriffs, a two-feather hobbit: ‘You’re arrested for Gate-breaking, and Tearing up of Rules, and Assaulting Gate-keepers, and Trespassing, and Sleeping in Shire-buildings without Leave, and Bribing Guards with Food.’
‘And what else?’ said Frodo.
‘That’ll do to go on with,’ said the Shirriff-leader.
‘I can add some more, if you’d like it,’ said Sam. ‘Calling your Chief Names, Wishing to punch his Pimply Face, and Thinking you Shirriffs look a lot of Tom-fools.’
‘There now, Mister, that’ll do. It’s the Chief’s orders that you’re to come along quiet. We’re going to take you to Bywater and hand you over to the Chief’s Men; and when he deals with your case you can have your say. But if you don’t want to stay in the Lockholes any longer than you need, I should cut the say short, if I was you.’
To the discomfiture of the Shirriffs Frodo and his companions all roared with laughter. ‘Don’t be absurd!’ said Frodo. ‘I am going where I please, and in my own time. …’

Best wishes and good luck, CJ.

Great! Now we understand the motivations behind fascists being control freaks. Now let’s take away their power to control, dominate, aggressively coerce under the color-of-law. Hmmmm. Not so easily done as talked about.

You know the old aphorism… “It was never really about the virus”.
People are going to be shocked when a new “variant of concern” is announced (in fact, it’s been on the design boards for some time, and the new polyvalent boosters will be said to cover it’s unique genetic characteristics) and the whole cycle of oppression kicks into a new higher gear, with enforcement efforts bringing to mind your (CH) statist persecution and the worst of Australia’s legal and social madness of 2020-22. The Karens will be told that the new biobug is 10 or 100 times more likely to kill them than good old SARSCoV 2.0 , and once that notion is pounded home by the manicured hookers of the “news” profession, the line between coward bullies and protectors of virtue will become well nigh invisible. And then, as Jesus said, it will be “just like the days of Noah” – when genetic manipulation and sorcery was rife and all manner of evil was “normalized”, with a collective middle finger raised high into the sky to remind the Almighty that he is just a hater extremist, at best. We are just one brisk solar micronova away from rectifying the emerging “Tower of Babel Nimrod Redux Edition” culture, partly as payback for the intense suffering it has historically unleashed against the poor and agrarian, and which it is preparing to mete out against the non-compliant as the Fiat Loot expansion curve goes asymptotic and the whole Tower shudders at the brink of the hyperinflationary and then deflationary abyss of corruption and greed.

The UN General Assembly, the W.H.O, the W.E.F, the E.U, and all of the so-called sovereign democratic yet globalist governments, you have all been found guilty in the court of public opinion of deliberately spreading disinformation leading to the deaths and injury of over one hundred million people worldwide using coercion and fear based threats, forcing untested mRNA toxic vaccinations on manipulated, pliable populations.
This amounts to an unprecedented global genocide that you are together all complicit in, you are all guilty of heinous crimes against humanity using inaccurate and deadly disinformation, fraud and treason leading to the murder of millions of global citizens using the criminal legacy news media as a vehicle for fraudulently sharing every governments unified disinformation, propaganda and lies, backed by treacherous social media sites censoring without exception all science backed posts and comments involving conversations using true facts and honest scientific data sharing. Together you all had only one intention and that was to deceive and to distribute deliberate blatant disinformation, propaganda and lies in order to utilize and spread deadly untested mRNA technology to destroy the health and lives of vast swathes of humanity.
And not being satisfied with your first global orgy of mRNA death and destruction that you created with deadly toxic spike proteins, now you are starting a new and decisive global eugenics agenda – phase two!
You are all presumed guilty by public opinion until proven innocent in the coming prosecutions at Nuremberg 2.0.
Globalists, politicians, MSM journalists, celebrities, schools heads and teachers, bankers, hospitals CEOs, doctors, nurses, big pharma, police and army officers of all ranks, if you have been recorded advocating or enforcing illegal lock-downs, enforcing scientifically proven useless mask mandates, daily fraudulent testing with PCR – 45 cycle non tests, spreading disinformation enabling wide spread mRNA eugenicist psy-op vaccinations, then you are all complicit in crimes against humanity.
Therefore, you are on notice to immediately surrender before the local police authorities. Any officers who refuse to arrest you and charge you, will also be charged later as complicit in crimes against humanity, also you must as a matter of urgency relinquish all of your former positions of power and influence in these criminal supranational organizations and national governments and organizations, failure to comply with the people’s command will force the instant freezing and seizing of all your assets!
Psychopaths have for far too long been ruling over humanity.
We are here to halt that cancer!
Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, George Soros, António Guterres, Tony Fauci, Blair and an endless list of all the other mentally ill terrorists…
Globalist buffoons who are very sick because they are nothing but the will to power, and the very idea of having unjust power over somebody is pure criminality, morally reprehensible and happens only in very sick minds.
Since 2020 these globalists have managed to create a very confused category of global Covid hypochondriacs in the world.
People who don’t have any real disease.
Yet they live in fear for their lives.
It has been found that seventy percent of illnesses are only in the head.
They don’t have anything to do with your physiology, with your biology, with your reality.
They are just hallucinations.
But once you think you have them, once it has been emphasized through propaganda again and again, then you are going to suffer.
There are now billions of fearful hypochondriacs in the world who now all need saving.
And only Pfizer, Moderna and the other big pharma snake oil men, using untested mRNA toxic jabs it seems can save them.
They would have you believe.
Yet all the hypochondriacs don’t even have a real disease. Is there even a threat of any real disease?
These new deadly pandemics are nothing but computer generated viruses that you have never heard of before because in reality they don’t exist, they have just rebranded, renamed traditional flu and seasonal colds.
The moment the false is truly gone, the real and healthy asserts itself without any effort on your part.
So, for these fearful hypochondriacs, awareness is the only medicine.
And like that, Shazam!
It is gone!
The real psychology is to go inside your being.
The method of psychology is meditation, non-thinking.
A moment comes when your consciousness is there without any content, no thoughts.
When you are free of all concepts, projected fear and narratives, you are freedom itself.
And to know this consciousness is to know what real psychology is.
There are no divisions.
And individuals urgently need a new psychology to understand themselves.
The old psychology does not give them much understanding.
Only a mind that divides, through ideologies, beliefs and concepts.
Remember, human consciousness is One, that has to penetrate deep into our hearts.
And that every person is unique.
If every person is unique then there is no question of comparison, then there is no question of equality either.
Unfortunately, we live in a world where nobody is accepted as their true nature, whatever it is.
True realized nature not imagined delusions.
You are told how you have to be to be accepted, to be respected, to be honorable in this society, how you have to be.
There is only one true antidote?
Know yourself, be yourself, and allow your hidden treasures to surface.
It will be a surprise to others and it will be a surprise to you, too.
And one of the most significant things is that whatever you have brought to the world, nobody else has brought and nobody else will bring it again.
Each individual has a unique individuality.
Once this is accepted, you will be able to be compassionate, to be caring, to be human.
If you have experienced your inner, orgasmic unity, you may even see that the other is the door to the divine.
It all depends on you.
But who are you?
Because for others, you are the other.
And you become their enemy, if you don’t agree with their unconscious divided mind..
To each the unconscious ‘other’ is a problem for the simple reason that everybody is trying to dominate everybody else.
NATO vs Freedom, Brexiteers vs Remainers, Democrats vs Republicans, Conservatives vs Labour, Marxists vs Capitalists.
Each one of them is fighting tooth and nail, directly and indirectly, with a single aim, to dominate the other, to reduce the other to the status of second.
Even if the fighting stops, they will not be blissful.
They will be almost dead, sad, resentful.
The journey to truth becomes very difficult if you continue to live a life which is unnatural.
Imprisoned by mind.
Truth is simply the experience of your purest nature.
No-mind, being, consciousness, intelligence.
But if you are trained from the very beginning to be unnatural, then by the time you start your search for truth, you are in a dilemma.
Very few people have the courage to go after truth even if their life is in danger, because truth is a higher value than life.
Truth means eternal life.
This very moment that is always here-now.
It is life itself, existence itself.
Life has immense treasures, which remain unknown to unconscious people because they don’t have time.
Their whole time is engaged in some kind of fight with someone – the other.
The other contains the whole divided world.
And the greatest calamity that happens is that when you are fighting with the other, you slowly slowly forget yourself.
Your whole focus becomes the other, and when the focus becomes the other, you are lost.
Then when are you going to remember yourself?
When are you going to find your innermost source of life?
When you are going to search for beauty and truth and poetry and art?
You will miss everything.
This miracle of no mind can only happen within you, it is not something outside.
Wake up!
