CJ Hopkins: Author Criticizes Government, Is Prosecuted For Hate Speech Thought Crime – Ask Dr. Drew

The German government allegedly prosecuted bestselling writer CJ Hopkins for the horrific crime of criticizing the German government. ••「 LINKS & SOURCES」•• “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 neoNazi 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.”

C. J. Hopkins is an awardwinning playwright, novelist, and political satirist. His plays have toured internationally at venues including Riverside Studios (London), 59E59 Theaters (New York), Traverse Theatre (Edinburgh), and Belvoir St. Theatre (Sydney).
