Authored by CJ Hopkins: Just
when I thought things could not possibly get more shockingly
totalitarian in New Normal Germany, where I’m being prosecuted in
criminal court (for the second time) for tweeting, the German
authorities have gone and surprised me again.No, they
haven’t established an actual Nazi-style People’s Court yet, and, of course, there is absolutely no similarity between the
current German justice system, which is totally fair and democratic and a
paragon of impartial justice and the rule of law, and The People’s Court of Berlin during
the Nazi era, nor is there any similarity between Nazi Germany and New
Normal Germany (i.e., modern-day Germany), and I would never, ever,
suggest that there was, as that would be intellectually lazy, and
tasteless, and completely inaccurate, and illegal, and … well, let me
fill you in on the latest.
The Berlin Superior Court has set a date for my next thoughtcrime trial.
As
regular readers will probably recall, my first thoughtcrime trial in
January ended with my acquittal. So, the German authorities are putting
me on trial again. Yes, they can do that in Germany. But, wait, that’s
not the best part.
The best part is, at my new
thoughtcrime trial - this time in Berlin Superior Court - full-scale
Anti-Terrorism Security protocols will be effect in the courtroom.
Everyone will be subjected to TSA-style scanning and screening, and
will have to surrender all their personal possessions and hats and coats
and head coverings to the Security Staff, and completely empty their
pockets of all items, before entering the courtroom. No computers,
phones, smart-watches, or any other potential recording devices will be
allowed in the courtroom. Pencils and sheets of paper will purportedly
be provided to members of the press by Security Staff. Members of the
press and public will be limited to 35, and, after they have
successfully passed their “security screening,” they will be cordoned
off in the last five rows of the gallery in the very back of the
courtroom, “for security reasons,” and monitored by the armed Security
Staff.
