CJ Hopkins – Off-Guardian March 19, 2024
Make fun of the Germans all you want, and I’ve certainly done that a bit during these past few years, but, if there’s one thing they’re exceptionally good at, it’s taking responsibility for their mistakes.
Seriously, when it comes to acknowledging one’s mistakes, and not rationalizing, or minimizing, or attempting to deny them, and any discomfort they may have allegedly caused, no one does it quite like the Germans.
Take this Covid mess, for example. Just last week, the German authorities confessed that they made a few minor mistakes during their management of the “Covid pandemic.” According to Karl Lauterbach, the Minister of Health, “we were sometimes too strict with the children and probably started easing the restrictions a little too late.”
Horst Seehofer, the former Interior Minister, admitted that he would no longer agree to some of the Covid restrictions today, for example, nationwide nighttime curfews. “One must be very careful with calls for compulsory vaccination,” he added. Helge Braun, Head of the Chancellery and Minister for Special Affairs under Merkel, agreed that there had been “misjudgments,” for example, “overestimating the effectiveness of the vaccines.”
This display of the German authorities’ unwavering commitment to transparency and honesty, and the principle of personal honor that guides the German authorities in all their affairs, and that is deeply ingrained in the German character, was published in a piece called “The Divisive Virus” in Der Spiegel, and immediately widely disseminated by the rest of the German state and corporate media in a totally organic manner which did not in any way resemble one enormous Goebbelsian keyboard instrument pumping out official propaganda in perfect synchronization, or anything creepy and fascistic like that.
Germany, after all, is “an extremely democratic state,” with freedom of speech and the press and all that, not some kind of totalitarian country where the masses are inundated with official propaganda and critics of the government are dragged into criminal court and prosecuted on trumped-up “hate crime” charges.
OK, sure, in a non-democratic totalitarian system, such public “admissions of mistakes” — and the synchronized dissemination thereof by the media — would just be a part of the process of whitewashing the authorities’ fascistic behavior during some particularly totalitarian phase of transforming society into whatever totalitarian dystopia they were trying to transform it into (for example, a three-year-long “state of emergency,” which they declared to keep the masses terrorized and cooperative while they stripped them of their democratic rights, i.e., the ones they hadn’t already stripped them of, and conditioned them to mindlessly follow orders, and robotically repeat nonsensical official slogans, and vent their impotent hatred and fear at the new “Untermenschen” or “counter-revolutionaries”), but that is obviously not the case here.
No, this is definitely not the German authorities staging a public “accountability” spectacle in order to memory-hole what happened during 2020-2023 and enshrine the official narrative in history. There’s going to be a formal “Inquiry Commission” — conducted by the same German authorities that managed the “crisis” — which will get to the bottom of all the regrettable but completely understandable “mistakes” that were made in the heat of the heroic battle against The Divisive Virus!
OK, calm down, all you “conspiracy theorists,” “Covid deniers,” and “anti-vaxxers.” This isn’t going to be like the Nuremberg Trials. No one is going to get taken out and hanged. It’s about identifying and acknowledging mistakes, and learning from them, so that the authorities can manage everything better during the next “pandemic,” or “climate emergency,” or “terrorist attack,” or “insurrection,” or whatever.
For example, the Inquiry Commission will want to look into how the government accidentally declared a Nationwide State of Pandemic Emergency and revised the Infection Protection Act, suspending the German constitution and granting the government the power to rule by decree, on account of a respiratory virus that clearly posed no threat to society at large, and then unleashed police goon squads on the thousands of people who gathered outside the Reichstag to protest the revocation of their constitutional rights.
Thousands gathered outside the Reichstag building in Berlin to protest the "New Normal" totalitarianism this morning, so the police declared the demonstration illegal and turned the water cannons on them … are you satisfied yet, totalitarians? pic.twitter.com/j70CHsEWWM

Once they do, I’m sure they’ll find that that “mistake” bears absolutely no resemblance to the Enabling Act of 1933, which suspended the German constitution and granted the government the power to rule by decree, after the Nazis declared a nationwide “state of emergency.”
Another thing the Commission will probably want to look into is how the German authorities accidentally banned any further demonstrations against their arbitrary decrees, and ordered the police to brutalize anyone participating in such “illegal demonstrations.”
Memories fade, and history is rewritten, so here's a 2.5 minute montage of goon squads in Germany (which, of course, bear no resemblance whatsoever to the SA, or the SS, or any other Nazi goons) enforcing compliance with official "New Normal" ideology during 2020-2022. https://t.co/GIrb4NCJcC pic.twitter.com/6BIOgLVLKx

And, while the Commission is inquiring into the possibly slightly inappropriate behavior of their law enforcement officials, they might want to also take a look at the behavior of their unofficial goon squads, like Antifa, which they accidentally encouraged to attack the “anti-vaxxers,” the “Covid deniers,” and anyone brandishing a copy of the German constitution.
Don't worry, Covidian Cultists … German Antifa is mobilizing to unleash total war on "extremist neo-Nazi Corona Deniers" like the lady holding the copy of the German constitution in the lower right! pic.twitter.com/HkdXBxyaEJ

Come to think of it, the Inquiry Commission might also want to look into how the German authorities, and the overwhelming majority of the state and corporate media, accidentally systematically fomented mass hatred of anyone who dared to question the government’s arbitrary and nonsensical decrees or who refused to submit to “vaccination,” and publicly demonized us as “Corona deniers,” “conspiracy theorists,” “anti-vaxxers,” “far-right anti-Semites,” etc., to the point where mainstream German celebrities like Sarah Bosetti were literally describing us as the inessential “appendix” in the body of the nation, quoting an infamous Nazi almost verbatim.
And then there’s the whole “vaccination” business. The Commission will certainly want to inquire into that. They will probably want to start their inquiry with Karl Lauterbach, and determine exactly how he accidentally lied to the public, over and over, and over again…

And whipped people up into a mass hysteria over “KILLER VARIANTS”…
And “LONG COVID BRAIN ATTACKS” …
And how “THE UNVACCINATED ARE HOLDING THE WHOLE COUNTRY HOSTAGE, SO WE NEED TO FORCIBLY VACCINATE EVERYONE!”
And so on. I could go on with this all day, but it will be much easier to just refer you, and the Commission, to this documentary film by Aya Velázquez. Non-German readers may want to skip to the second half, unless they’re interested in the German “Corona Expert Council”…

Look, the point is, everybody makes “mistakes,” especially during a “state of emergency,” or a war, or some other type of global “crisis.” At least we can always count on the Germans to step up and take responsibility for theirs, and not claim that they didn’t know what was happening, or that they were “just following orders,” or that “the science changed.”
Plus, all this Covid stuff is ancient history, and, as Olaf, an editor at Der Spiegel, reminds us, it’s time to put the “The Divisive Pandemic” behind us…
…and click heels, and heil the New Normal Democracy!

“This display of the German authorities’ unwavering commitment to transparency and honesty,…”
Oh really??? Dare I mention the Ernst Zundel “trial” of 2005 ( in which he was given a five and one half year sentence ) and subsequently the trial and five year prison sentence given to Miss Sylvia Stoltz for attempting to defend Herr Zundel.
Oh yes we just love the hamstrung state they now call “Germany”. Like the rest of the jew-addled EU it is so unwavering in it’s commitments to “free-dumb” and ((( them ))) – ocrisy.
By 2020 I already knew of the sheep like nature of the electorate, but I didn’t quite know it to the extent I should. Over the years I’ve found myself profoundly disappointed with the materialistic nature of people, and being single, particularly the materialistic expectations of the opposite sex. Touching upon this, and within the same spectrum of concerns, the way in which the flock were amenable to manipulation by fear in our recent times has been the most revelationary and disappointing aspect of human nature I have experienced in my adult lifetime.
Many have observed the ability to see what is really going on isn’t about intelligence per se. It seems the desire to comply and conform to peer pressure short circuits what to me is the natural desire to “work things out for myself”. Maybe those of us who have felt themselves to be “outsiders” in life have been better disposed to see through all the BS. Rugged individuality has been the supreme prophylactic against the mindspace “virus” IMO.
“Once they do, I’m sure they’ll find that that “mistake” bears absolutely no resemblance to the Enabling Act of 1933, which suspended the German constitution and granted the government the power to rule by decree, after the Nazis declared a nationwide “state of emergency.”
Same year Jews declared war on Germany. What a Cohencidence.
Germany is going to investigate its mistakes over COVID.
Can’t wait. They should investigate NordStream,
Them poor little children of the Western world who had to suffer that debacle. Another shit-show brought to us by ZOG and the lying Hasbara media.
There are no PANDEMICS, just crimes by environmental polluters.
The best thing the Gerry’s ever did was hunt down and arrest the monstrous imbecile CJ Hopkins…
… and the worst thing they ever did was allow him to escape and continue publishing his drivel..
What the f-ck has COVID got to do with the Nuremberg Trials Commie Jew Hopkins? Scratching my bonce in bewilderment…. 🤔
“After WWII, many Americans wondered “How could such an advanced country like Germany, with so many patents and advanced technology be taken over by the Nazis?” That of course was not the correct question. The correct question was “How could an advanced country like Germany be taken over by the Jews?” The answer is the timeless combination of war and usury that worked nearly everywhere it was tried, as well as a way of thinking that was completely foreign to the Germans. The Nazis were a response to the Jewish takeover of Germany. A similar process is occurring in the United States today as well, and a similar outcome should be expected.” – Henry Makow Ph.D.
Until seeing these videos for the first time, I was led to believe that apart from the brilliant and courageous leadership from Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg and Reiner Fuëllmich in the fight against the PLANDEMIC, the German people were almost totally compliant. That ignorance of course stemmed from Gestapo tactics in all of our nations in locking down the footage of the noncompliance and protests from one place to another.
The German Gestapo recently released Reiner Fuëllmich after half a year in a rank prison without a trial, a cell phone, the internet, his Frau, or even a German beer. No doubt they threatened to keep him in chains for the rest of his life unless he promised to help them find more efficient ways to silence people like himself and kill far more of us useless eaters next time around.
As Wodarg said in early March 2020, the virus presented no threat beyond a regular flu for any lockdowns or restrictions. Everything the politicians and the media in Germany told the people regarding Covid and the vaccines was a lie. “Coincidentally”, the exact same lies were told to the people by their politicians and the media, at the exact same times in virtually every nation on the globe.
The IMF, the World Bank and our central banks funded the entire operation. That was clear from the beginning, and it was also clear that all of those in positions of authority were induced to do parrot the same slogans regardless of the facts. In Canada not one [NOT ONE] Member of Parliament broke ranks, and it was not because they did not know what was going on. They all took the money, and when the vaccines were introduced, they helped flog them on the people, while remaining exempt from having to take them. The vaccines were never necessary to make anyone safe or to stop the spread and that was also known to our “leaders” right from the outset.
As for the US bioweapon Covid-19 virus, you still have the best on the US stage pointing the finger at China, which nation only served as a temporary accomplice serving to kick off the entire operation. However, the virus did kill more than the regular yearly Corona flus, in that it was specially designed to kill the very frail and immune compromised – provided that conventional treatment protocols were withheld from the vulnerable once their lungs became infected. In most of our Western nations, our medical professions and health-care services followed in lockstep the same killing protocols in order to ensure in each nation a sufficient number of people would die – which was necessary to maintain the scare. The banning of HCQ and Ivermectin was unform all through the West. The launching of the vaccines followed the same oppressive pattern in each nation. We now know that the vaccines were far more lethal and harmful that the virus, but the “authorities” knew all of this in advance.
At least the Nazi ringleaders and war criminals did not betray their own people. Yet, all those with power and influence in our nations did, and in their arrogance they have absolutely no remorse. Most certainly with any orders from that same command source which instructed the German authorities with the exact same death protocols given to their counterparts in our nations, they would do it all over again, but next time no doubt with a more lethal virus and much more lethal vaccines.
Meanwhile, Mr. Trudeau and his government in Canada are introducing laws to curb any communication which they deem as “hate speech”. The dodge is that they are trying to curb anti-Semitic remarks and comments against the woke oppression. In actuality, what the authorities are piloting for the rest of the West for their top-down NWO tyranny, is legislation to curtail any and all exposure of their crimes against humanity – those in the past and those to come.
Before Covid, it was impolite for Canadians to “hate” anything, and that must be what Mr. Trudeau is most concerned about. Unlike the Americans it was a word which was seldom heard in our homes or certainly in the streets. However, either from the virus or the vaccines, there has been a certain personality change in the people. It must be those Christians again, spreading that Jewish Old Testament around where it is said that God hates the sinner, and that there is a right time to hate. No doubt, these grave developments have raised concerns with Mr. Trudeau and all of his New World Order masters, as well as those in the military who coordinated the entire Covid affair. Understandably, they are all now very worried about their adverse sentiments towards the people recoiling on themselves – and being hanged.
In Britain we saw how shallow civilisation really is, and how easily people accept authoritarianism and behind the power of the state they quickly become authoritarian themselves. The propagandists cleverly came up with the name Karen to describe them, which seemed to fit their attitude and was widely adopted. But what this did was to individualise these scumbags, but in fact it was a new policing movement across not just the whole country but the whole west. These weren’t individuals they were an army, just not sworn in, and the authorities never warned off this collective whose members lived in just about every street.
How you acted in 2020/2021/2022 is how you would act under complete Tyranny. If you ever wandered if you have Balls of Steel, Now you Know.
It appears that some of The Commentariat here – those who have too readily chambered aboard their ” High Horses” of denunciation – have failed to appreciate that CJ Hopkins is being SARCASTIC.. and is, in fact, damning the German “Authorities ”
Oh dear… 🙄
They all deserve to be chased through the streets, get beaten to pulps, and publicly executed. All. Of. Them. The politicians, bureaucrats, “health authorities”, “experts”, lying media scum, every cop who went along with any of it, snitching neighbors, pharma execs, school administrators, any church leader who didn’t voice staunch opposition, bleating covidiots…they ALL fully deserve to be mercilessly beaten and executed.
It still stuns me to see the way so many people in so many places were treated like such total shit during the height of the covid-1984 hysteria. None of that really happened in my area…there were no lockdowns in my region, no citizens getting beaten by police state goons just for being in the streets, little-to-none of that abject tyranny. Restaurants closed for a few weeks and other shops limited hours for a while, and schools sent the kids home for a semester, but that was about it. I moved about freely and nobody said dick to me. Face-diapers were a thing for maybe a couple months and many of us didn’t comply with that. Of course, citizens in my area are armed to the teeth, so that tends to make tyrants think twice….
Germany ? just look how they treated 90 year old Ursula Haverbeck
Yes, note the sarcasm–Germany is the place that, in the East, needed a Stasi official for every fifty citizens, which is good: it was able to find them, which is bad
