In this third volume of his Consent Factory Essays, C. J. Hopkins presents an unofficial history of the roll-out of the "New Normal" during the 2020-2021 Covid-19 pandemic, and an analysis of this new, pathologized-totalitarian ideology that has radically transformed societies around the world.

From the proclamation of the "New Normal" and the initial propaganda blitzkrieg in March of 2020, and on through the global lockdowns, the suspension of constitutional rights, the mask mandates, the social distancing, the censorship, the segregation and persecution of "the Unvaccinated," and, finally, the collapse of the official Covid narrative at the end of 2021, the essays in this volume comprise an "as-it-happened" record of how insane and totalitarian things got, and puts the madness into context. "No other prophet has described the strategies or predicted the perils of the emerging totalitarianism with such persistence and eloquence." (Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.)

Featuring popular essays like The Covidian Cult, The "Unvaccinated" Question, The Criminalization of Dissent, Manufacturing New Normal "Reality," and a new introductory essay exploring the question of how nominally democratic societies around the world could be so suddenly and easily transformed into pathologized-totalitarian police states, the essays in this collection present "[a] searing (and therefore satisfying) chronicle of life in, and against, the locked-down, masked-up, triple-vaxxed madhouse of New Normal insanity." (Max Blumenthal)

"[Hopkins] was one of the only people in English willing to do [that], and he did it with his trademark wit and bravado. He'll be remembered as a signature chronicler of the 'New Normal.'" (Matt Taibbi)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read

The sarcastic humor is applied with grace and acumen to a situation that could only be seen correctly through the author's perception. Keenly aware at the time of the societies sacrifice of liberties for it's safety, Hopkins calls out to the hapless hordes to reveal their tyranny and hypocrisy in grand fashion. I got more than a good tickle and chuckle from this expose. I even bought more to give away to others, whom have also expressed their satisfaction with this book. It is an accurate history, recorded by a satirist. As all history should be.

An absolute must-read! Funny and infuriating at the same time, these essays succinctly describe with incredible wit, humor and intelligence how ridiculous the Covid response nonsense was. This guy is one of the best writers of all time, so happy to have stumbled upon him. My whole family is in love with his analysis of current events, and the people I show "Rise of the New Normal Reich" and "The War on Populism" to are immediately entranced by his insights. The world makes so much more sense when you read a guy like C.J. Hopkins. If you like political/financial analysis, buy both "War on Populism" and "Rise of the New Normal Reich." I'm going to buy all of Hopkins' books, he is absolutely brilliant, he should win the Nobel Prize in Literature as far as I'm concerned.

SUCH a good book. Easy to read in short, digestable chapters. Especially meaningful for those of us who were skeptical of the lockdowns, closures and mandates incrementally rolled out through the pandemic.
With hindsight, it's easier now to see how the official narrative was fabricated NOW, but what's amazing is that CJ Hopkins was writing these essays in real time - as it was happening. The books is laid out in chronological order and is basically a collection of his writings as he lived through what many of us see as being one of the worst times in US history.

More than almost anyone else in the world, Hopkins captures the essence of the global response to covid: a worldwide psychotic totalitarian movement .

Covid 19 was not dangerous to most people. Masks do nothing . The mRNA vaccines could not and did not stop infection , spead or transmission and there was never any justification for mandating them.

Most of the covid “crises” was a deliberate effort to terrorize people to get them to accept control

Hopkins exposes the toxic propaganda and lies and manipulation behind the greatest mass psychotic totalitarian episode in human history

This is a collection of essays that the author wrote during the Covid plandemic. He was able to step back and get the big picture instead of blindly swallowing the official propaganda. Read it so you will be ready for the next one. Or you can choose to be motivated by fear into compliance with the official narrative.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must read! An entertaining, informative (and scary!) realtime capture of life through 2020-2021

C.J. Hopkins essays are incredible, and if you're the kind of person who is looking into this book it's going to be everything you hope it is.

We get normalized to this new life and chaos that's been forced on us, but when you read this book it takes to back to 2020 and you remember how awful it was then, and how awful it is now, still. And yet -- it's not a heavy read. The chapters are short and relatable. There is humor at times, and the hope comes from knowing there are other people who see things like we do, even if life feels a bit like invasion of the body snatchers where most people have joined a strange cult.

It's a great book. Read it. Enjoy it. Learn from it. And then hold onto it as a bit of real history that will never be captured in history books.

Skeptical about the government lockdowns and mandatory vaccines? Do you wonder why businesses and lives were destroyed because of Covid health precautions? What was this really about? If you have suspicions and believe this really wasn’t about your health and safety then you need to read this book. This book is a tour de force on the worldwide cult of Covid. For the last three years I’ve been reading CJ’s articles and watching and listening to podcasts he’s been on. CJ’s brilliant analysis of how and why governments created a pseudo-medical police state to create a “globo-cap” dictatorship over us is truly eye-opening. Everyone with an open mind needs to read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Brutally Honest Look In The Mirror
Reviewed in Canada on June 27, 2022
Verified Purchase
This book offers a concise and ruthlessly honest analysis of the overt degeneration of our global civilization into varying degrees of a new kind of totalitarianism (relative to geography) which have taken place over the past 2 years. Some of the more important points covered in the book include explorations into the parallels between the emergence of totalitarian empires of the 20th century (such as the rise of fascism in Germany) and what has taken place globally recently, as well as insights into the relevance of the Milgram Experiments in illuminating the psychological dynamics behind what we have witnessed in the masses of late and also offering vivid comparisons between cult dynamics and the behavior we have observed in a great many in the past 2 years.

The series of essays contained within its pages forces to reader to take an honest look in the mirror and rigorously assess whether or not one's choices during the scamdemic have amounted to the choices of someone in Germany in the late 30-s that bought the propaganda, turned on their neighbors, family and humanity and chose to tow the line of a fascist ideology being promoted by a small group of mentally unstable criminals.

This book begs us to ask the question: When the crushing hammer of a new form of fascism (a type of bio-security police state, which is in essence a technocratic version of fascism pushed forward by plutocrats) was rolled out with a blitzkrieg of state sponsored propaganda.. did I fold under the pressure and align myself with the herd mentality the above described criminals sought to propagate? Or did I remain true to what was in my heart?

Put in other words, this book invites us to ponder the following: "Did I choose obedience in the face of edicts being passed down by the puppets of hardened repeat felon criminal offenders and career profiteers under the threat of coercion, systemic abuse and institutionalized bullying? Or, did I dig deep to find the grace to honor my intuition, my integrity and my love for all that is innately free and beautiful within me despite the prevalent onslaught of propaganda, those close to me turning on me having been brainwashed and the weapons of a economic war being waged upon myself and all those that refused to conform to this new kind of fascism?

The chronicles in this book's pages beg that we ask the question: When the chips were down, the bullies were emboldened and the temptations were great, did we chose fear, or Love?

The mirror this book offers to both the individual (and our society as a whole) is a powerful kind of medicine which is desperately needed at this critical fork in the road for our family of Humanity.
I will be keeping an extra copy for Posterity. I think this book is worth preserving for I am observing how the dominant institutions currently steering our industrial civilization are attempting to distort and re-write history in a very 1984-esk manner. There are those that have been working to change definitions, censor pivotal events online and silence the victims of this slow motion genocide. These interests seek to obscure the criminality and immoral nature of the actions perpetrated by those that actively sought (and are seeking to) permanently establish what CJ Hopkins calls the "New Normal Reich".

All that being said, this book does however (in my opinion) leave much to be desired in the realm of solutions to the challenges posed to us by the emergence of this "New Normal Reich". It does offer some elucidation on the relevance of engaging in forms of peaceful disobedience (in the form of what some call the way of Satyagraha) but in my opinion, this form of resistance to tyranny (by itself) is not enough.
Despite this lack of actionable/practical solutions, I would still suggest getting a copy and reading it for yourself. Knowing one is has a serious life threatening (but elusive) medical condition (without being offered a cure up front) is still valuable and helpful information for it invokes one to seek out pathways to healing. Refusing to receive a diagnosis because one is afraid of the potentially challenging path to healing is a choice that does not respect the gift of life we have been given by Creator.

There is honor in being courageous enough to take a long hard look at the worst our family of Humanity has to offer (so we can be in a position to instead choose a different path). Cj Hopkins has a real knack for this. Only through clearly assessing the wounds we have allowed to be inflicted on our human family, our civilization and our collective consciousness can we effectively formulate a remedy and begin a path to healing.

May the scars on the soul of Humanity that are illuminated in the pages of this book serve as a map so that we may trial blaze a path ahead with a new found sense of compassion, love, courage, humility, integrity, determination and the clarity of perception to know where we never want to venture again. May our willingness to take on honest look in the mirror empower us to become our best selves in the days, months and years ahead.

Reviewed in Spain on May 18, 2022

CJ Hopkins tiene un don para entender qué está pasando en Occidente y es casi un visionario, en el sentido de que sus artículos no solo aciertan al 100% sino que es capaz de hacer predicciones acertadísimas. Pero siempre con mucho humor, así que este libro, igual que sus otros libros "políticos", es super ameno y fácil de leer. El libro recoge sus artículos ya publicados en diversas revistas y periódicos, pero merece la pena tenerlo todo junto por lo bien escrito y divertido que es, aunque el tema del Gran Reseteo (New Normal) es serio. Aunque habla principalmente de la situación en EE.UU y Alemania, también habla de otros países y también de España y, además, -no sé si te has fijado- pero últimamente nuestros políticos en todo Occidente ¡hacen exactamente lo mismo como si sus órdenes vinieran de otro sitio!

I discovered CJ Hopkins during the first lockdown. His articles are a poignant analysis of the totalitarian nightmare that transformed western democratic citizens into cult followers. The grotesque theatre of the medical masks, the ridiculous rules, the censorship, the horrible vaccine mandates. Global Capitalism didn't appreciate the populist movements ( Brexit, Trump, Yellow Vests). We were all told to shut up and get in line, start obeying senseless orders blindly and trust The Science, while they censored all scientists deviating from official Global Capitalist narrative. CJ Hopkins brings lucidity, dark humour and above all else his deep humanity and articulates what we intuitively feel. This is a brilliantly written book by a brave critical thinker.
