The Criminalization Of Dissent (Revisited)

_**Greetings from Thoughtcriminal 231Js1736/23!**_
( 
)That’s my official Thoughtcrime Case Number, which my attorney needs to reference in all our official correspondence with the New Normal Thoughtpolice. I think I’m going to silk-screen it on a T-shirt and wear it on my first day in Moabit Criminal Court (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moabit_Criminal_Court), “the largest criminal court in Europe with 340 judges and 360 prosecutors.”
That’s right, the Berlin State Prosecutor’s office is pursuing its criminal investigation of me (https://www.racket.news/p/first-roger-waters-now-this-germany) for allegedly “disseminating propaganda, the content of which is intended to further the aims of a former National Socialist organization,” which according to Germany’s _Grundgesetz (https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_gg/)_ could send me to prison for up to three years.
My attorney wrote to them and politely explained how ridiculous their investigation is and why they should summarily drop the charges, but New Normal Germany has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to Thoughtcrime, especially Thoughtcrime involving any kind of Covid-denying propaganda.
The “propaganda” in question is these two Tweets.
( 
)Which, OK, I just disseminated them again, so there’s another three years in prison. Or, I don’t know, maybe it’s six years in prison, i.e., three years for each separate count of Thoughtcrime.
I wrote those Tweets in German, so let me translate.
The one on the left reads, _**“The masks are ideological-conformity symbols. That is all they are. That is all they have ever been. Stop acting like they have ever been anything else, or get used to wearing them.” The hashtag translates as “Masks are not a benign measure.”**_
The one on the right is a quote by Karl Lauterbach, the Minister of Health of Germany, tweeted by _Die Welt_, a national newspaper.
It reads _**“The masks always send out a signal.”**_ And, yes, Karl, that’s exactly the point I was making.
The image is from the cover art of my book _The Rise of the New Normal Reich: Consent Factory Essays, Vol. III (2020-2021) (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/3982146429/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i4)_, which was banned in Germany by Amazon, Inc. two days after I tweeted the above Tweets. (https://consentfactory.org/2022/08/31/the-rise-of-the-new-normal-reich-consent-factory-essays-vol-iii-banned-in-germany-austria-and-the-netherlands/) (It appears to also be banned for sale in German bookstores, but I don’t have confirmation of that.)
My attorney just received the screenshots of these Tweets from the Berlin State Prosecutor a few days ago. Up to then, we didn’t know what they were, and we couldn’t find them, because they have been censored by Twitter, presumably on the orders of the German Thoughtpolice. We knew they featured the cover art of my book, because the Prosecutor’s office described it, but we didn’t know about the “Covid denial.”
So, essentially, I’m facing criminal charges, and being threatened with who knows how many years in prison, or thousands of Eurodollars in fines, for (a) stating what has now been widely acknowledged, and what was generally understood by every serious epidemiologist until the Spring of 2020, namely, that mask-mandates do not work, and thus are nothing but symbolic measures designed to generate and enforce mass obedience, and (b) insulting the Minister of Health of Germany, who happens to be a fanatical serial liar (https://consentfactory.org/2022/07/22/the-normalization-of-the-new-normal-reich/) who is directly responsible for the serious injury and death of … well, we’ll never know how many people.
**Neither of which are actual crimes. Not even in the Federal Republic of Germany.**
The pretext for the charges I am facing is the swastika behind the mask, which, as I noted in a recent essay (https://consentfactory.org/2023/06/12/new-normal-germany-blues/), is a play on the international bestseller, _The Rise and Fall of The Third Reich (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/revisiting-the-rise-and-fall-of-the-third-reich-20231221/)_, by William Shirer, which you can buy in any bookshop in Berlin (https://www.kulturkaufhaus.de/de/detail/ISBN-9781451651683/Shirer-William-L./The-Rise-and-Fall-of-t…
