German Judiciary: Persecution of Political Opposition
Today’s German Judicial System is Resorting to Nazi Persecution Tactics Against Political Dissidents Who Speak the Truth
Critique of the German government is absolutely verboten in the Federal Republic of Germany — as it was under the Nazi regime. Those who criticize any government policy face imprisonment (perversely) eventually followed by judicial prosecution!
I bring to your attention, two cases of German political prisoners who challenged government Corona (Covid) policies by speaking out publicly. For this “crime” they are confined for long periods in solitary confinement; they are sleep deprived, terrorized, humiliated, shackled, and strip searched – before and during trial.
These abusive, terrorist tactics serve two purposes: they are intended to “break” dissident citizens mentally and spiritually, and the abuse is intended to serve as a warning to would-b German political dissidents.
I know each of the two persecuted heroic truth tellers personally.
The case of Dr. Reiner Fuellmich, a respected attorney is much better known around the globe. Therefore, I will first focus on Johanna Findeisen, whom I interviewed for my five-episode documentary, Never Again is Now Global, which premiered January 2023.
Johanna appears in Episode 3 in which she describes the horrific experience of her great-uncle, who was a political prisoner who survived several Nazi concentration camps including Dachau. He was one quarter Jewish… He married a survivor right after the war. Johanna describes how not until just before he died, was he willing to talk or write about what had happened and what he witnessed.
Johanna was a political candidate of “die Basis,” political party for Freiheit und Gesundheit (Freedom and Health) which was founded during the Anti-Lockdown demonstrations. Johanna recognized the parallels; namely, vehement government repression against free speech demonstrators.
Since May 2023, Johanna Findeisen, mother of three, has been in pre-trial prison under brutal, inhumane conditions.
The case against Johanna – as per her lawyers – began on July 1, 2022, when she met with the new Russian Consul General, Ivan Khotulev, at a memorial service for the victims of the most serious plane crash in the Federal Republic of Germany. It crashed in Uebelingen on Lake Constance. Among the 71 victims, were 49 Russian children.
On December 4, Johanna spoke at a demonstration in Baden-Baden on behalf of ‘die Basis’ party -- which is composed of diverse people, including health workers. The mainstream media describes die Basis as “conspiracy theorists… and “Querdenker” (lateral thinkers) which for Germans is a highly pejorative term. However, I define it as applying to “free thinkers” -- those who do not adhere to the party line… They are what we, in the U.S. refer to as “awake” not mesmerized by propaganda.
On Dec 5,2022 Johanna delivered a letter to the Russian Consul from an activist seeking to free Julian Assange.
On Dec. 7, Johanna’s house on Lake Constance was searched as part of “raids against Reich citizens”.
On May 22, 2023, Johanna was arrested under suspicion of membership in a terrorist organization and imprisoned by the Federal Public Prosecutor General.
Since then, Johanna Findeisen has been imprisoned in pretrial detention in Frankfurt am Main together with eight other suspects of the “Reuss Group”. The charge is high treason! – which in Germany can be punished with life in prison – not less than ten years.
The preposterous claims which have not been confirmed by any evidence are as follows:
· Johanna Findeisen personally attended a so-called “Reichsbürger” meeting.
· She handed over €150,000 from her family’s assets for the procurement of weapons.
· She contacted the Russian consul or involved him in any coup plans
Her lawyer confirmed that these unfounded claims have been disseminated in the media. However, after two years in pretrial detention, none of these charges have been substantiated by any evidence, confessions or judicial decisions.
This is how the “Democratic” Republic of Germany treats political dissidents:
According to credible reports from her defense team and confirmed by legal representatives, Johanna Findeisen has been subjected to detention conditions that likely qualify as “white torture” under international standards. These include:
Isolation: Little to no social contact with other inmates. Conversations with her lawyers are interrupted or restricted.
Sensory Deprivation: Bare, dimly lit solitary cell. Limited access to outdoor exercise or physical activity. Absence of visual or auditory stimulation (no colors, books, sounds).
Sleep Deprivation: Chronic sleep disturbance due to constant stress.Frequent night-time cell checks with lights turned on every 15–30 minutes. Screams from neighboring inmate cells.
Inedible Food: After long trial days, she was repeatedly given cold or spoiled meals. The food was sometimes inedible or failed to meet basic health standards.
Excessive Use of Restraints: Handcuffs reportedly applied so tightly that they caused painful pressure marks and bruises. Transported to court in a windowless, extremely confined compartment within a prison van causes nausea, disorientation, and panic due to lack of visibility and air circulation.
NONE of these measures are justifiable – inasmuch as there is no possibility of escape during transport within a prison van.
Humiliating Body Searches:
Johanna Findeisen has to undress and freeze naked. Despite fever.
In February 2024: Johanna returned from court with a fever. She was forced to strip naked, in a freezing cold waiting room; to bend over, and cough in front of an open outer door. The staff member who “inspected” her anus, was so heavily masked and camouflaged that it was unclear whether it was a man or woman.
This procedure is common when a prisoner is first admitted to prison to prevent smuggling forbidden objects. However, there is no medical or security-related justification for strip searches when a prisoner returns from court where she was continuously guarded by police officers.
· This demeaning practice violates human rights and human dignity. Its purpose is to humiliate, demean, and instill helplessness.
International Legal Assessment:
According to multiple human rights standards, these reported conditions violate: Prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment, under:
Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR):
The Istanbul Protocol Defines solitary confinement, sensory deprivation, systematic sleep interruption, and degrading searches as forms of psychological torture.
Johanna’s attorneys adhere to fact-based, unemotional rhetoric – as is the norm and practice of the legal profession when there is no jury to witness the proceedings. However, in cases involving an individual critic of State policy – the turf is an especially uneven playing field. I believe it is appropriate to express human emotion when state atrocities are committed.
The following Open letter to Johanna is from Jürgen Fliege,
a retired pastor, TV host, and anti-Corona restrictions protester.
The letter expresses outrage and compassion by one human being for the plight of another. Therefore, I post it entirely.
“Love Johanna, all night I thought all night I thought how I could help you, all night, because I do really care how you are doing, what they are doing with you, and what’s going on with you and what’s going on with your children, and, and, and, and, and ... all night.
And I am not alone with it, we are many!
You know, it makes no sense to shout loudly for help or to write to you that it is anything but an honest judiciary that is complicit in what you have had to endure, much more.
Having to strip with the expectation of violence, then stand naked and shiver in front of strangers, then having to turn around with your face to the wall, even more defenseless, and then exposing your bottom for inspection. Johanna, that goes to the core and will remain so all your life. That’s what I call abuse in normal life and torture in the political context! And your soul will save every image full of shame for all time: pants down, pants up, for all time.
Since when has our judiciary had license to abuse and torture? And who gave it to them? And who allows this to happen? The blacks? The Reds? The Greens? For the soul of a human being, it is an officially covered rape of those under their protection!
What now? It makes no sense to take to the streets again, shouting or silently, hoping for an outcry from the righteous throughout the whole country. Forget it, that was once upon a time. Once upon a time there was a fairy tale of our rule of law.
But who am I writing this to, dear Johanna, who, like many of us who have had enough experience over the last five years to know that the rule of law is in danger of degenerating into a fairy tale. Once again, a kind of modern fascism has crept into the synchronized hearts and minds of our incited and fear-mongering people. Corona ordered - we followed. The law is already marching in lockstep with the rulers. It no longer stands by the little ones. Here and there, it has fallen into disrepair and decay and can be harnessed to the Berlin cart again and again.
At 6 o'clock in the morning they storm into our homes, confiscate, arrest, let us stew in prisons, muzzle free opinion and then shake with laughter at our horror all over the world. Johanna, dear, I am close to you. They wipe their asses with our complaints, to break even one single stake, one person, one soul out of this phalanx of prescribed popular fear - it would be a miracle. And in heaven the old joy would be there again, over just one, one who thinks, asks for forgiveness and repents. - But there is no one, not a single one! Forget it!
The scared citizens sedated by the corona war and climate change, no longer know themselves. And they certainly don't know the noble values from the Holy Scriptures that they keep trumpeting. They no longer know anything about repentance and conversion. They have never heard of it. Otherwise they would immediately understand the dream I had last night. I dreamt: at dawn, a long line of naked men and women with their arms propped up against your prison wall. They had shed all their clothes in solidarity with you, naked.
Because that is the last peaceful card, the last ace up the sleeve of the peace-lovers: making yourself vulnerable, showing your infinite vulnerability. Naked, like the biblical prophet Jeremiah once walked through the streets of Jerusalem; naked, like the man on the cross, naked to point out the humanity in people; naked to show injustice. And then also what happens to those who tolerate it - not through us, we do not hurt anyone, we do not degrade anyone - their self-degradation and its consequences are a law of fate.
It is so important for all of us, Johanna, that you have entrusted us with your story of abuse. It opens our eyes once again to where we have come. From so far away, so close, we squeeze your hands. Alas, we will not be able to bring the perpetrators and those responsible to justice any time soon. The crows don't peck each other's eyes out. The mustiness of recent years is gathering under the black and red gowns. We can rage, we can argue, we can talk, we can whisper, we can do what we want. As if they all had no soul, no dignity, just hearts made of wood, they seem so hardened to me.
They won't cry about themselves - that would be their chance to be softened by themselves and from the inside. But like this? -They will break. In such cases of comprehensive hardening, Jesus advises me and you to turn on your heel and go your own way with this wound. He says this so easily and doesn't think of you, who are trapped. - Yes, he is thinking of you too! For it is not an external path, it is the path that began with your destiny, with your birth: loving and allowing yourself to be loved, the path of dignity that can be taken immediately, no matter where you are and I am.
The great Bonhoeffer in his cell always comes to mind, but also the clear Michael Ballweg in Stammheim, who rediscovered his inner path in the prison cell. Walk the path, it will be noticeable. You will be a different person, you will stand up differently, your steps will be different, your head will no longer hang, more dignified, more determined, more relaxed. You have returned to the old path you were sent on and which is your destiny.
And who are you now, Johanna? You are the one whose dignity can no longer be taken away.
You are a child of God or of the universe. You have been sent to our earth, sent to skillfully uncover injustice and to suffer it.
You live what you were sent to do, so beautifully, so strongly, so weakly, so humanly. Johanna, God bless you."

Dr. Fuellmich was sentenced to 3 years and 9 months in prison
On April 24th Presiding Judge Carsten Schindler and prosecutor Simon Phillip of the Göttingen court in Germany delivered the predetermined verdict for no proven crime.
The previous Göttingen lead prosecutor Reinicke, who had been asked to open an investigation of Fuellmich’s activities, found that there were no grounds upon which to investigate him. The prosecutor archived the case in June 2022.
But the State was determined to remove Reiner from public circulation because he posed a threat to the government by garnering public attention to the fraudulent, fearmongering propaganda.
Beginning in 2020, Reiner was among the early vocal critics who recognized that the draconian Corona (COVID-19) restrictions on personal freedom, fraudulent PCR tests that used to fake non-existing “Covid infection.” Those fake infection claims led to discriminatory exclusion of people from the public square. Reiner alerted the public to government unconstitutional overreach. Overreach that Reiner identified as “crimes against humanity” as defined at the Nuremberg Criminal Nazi Trials
Reiner organized the Corona Investigative Committee whose mission was to shed light on the premeditated, concealed details and nature of the crimes against humanity – which no court in the Western World is Willing to examine and expose.
He invited more than 150 scientists, doctors, legal experts, knowledgeable whistleblowers, and astute observers. (My first interview with Reiner was in March 2021, when I testified about The Roots of Evil. We met in Brussels and in Nuremberg where I delivered a speech about the significance of the Nuremberg Code on its 75th Anniversary.)
Reiner garnered hundreds of thousands of viewers to the Corona Committee video interviews, enlightening them with the truth. That is Reiner’s “crime” for which the German Secret Services –i.e. today’s version of Nazi Germany’s Gestapo -- were determined to put him out of public circulation because he posed a threat to the globally orchestrated fake “pandemic”.
“Furthermore, beyond his disclosure of “Corona” crimes, “Fuellmich has looked deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole of the plutocrats‘ true crimes against humanity in the last few months of his investigative work. Internationally organized human trafficking, child trafficking, systematic and ritual child abuse, infanticide, organ trafficking, money laundering. Füllmich had – finally – tracked down the biggest crimes and the perpetrators in the background.
Was it a coincidence that the orchestrated kidnapping of the civil rights activist took place at precisely this time? Such a pugnacious lawyer has enormous potential to harm the rulers when he is free….”
Attorney Dr. Reiner Fuellmich sentenced to 3 years and 9 months
Even during his incarcerations -- as he was under extreme duress, Reiner issued a video statement deploring the Genocide in Gaza. Something NO Western government has done! Genocide is streaming on the internet in plain sight, but it is being ignored by Western governments – just as they had ignored the Holocaust! How tragic that the world has learned NOTHING… which is precisely why the genocidal forces have become emboldened!
So anxious was the German government to silence Reiner, they quickly appointed Simon Phillip John, a young, inexperienced prosecutor, transferred him from Hanover to Göttingen, and gave him the task that the seasoned prosecutor had previously deemed to be unjustified.
To prevent Reiner’s defense team from laying out the premeditated concocted “crimes” that they couldn’t prove, they curtailed the defense time and disallowed witnesses for the defense to take the stand. This “kangaroo court proceeding” interrupted and admonished Reiner during his final statement in his defense --at least 12 times. .
“In the course of 51 hearings, what we have witnessed is nothing less than an egregious case of obstruction of justice —a criminal offense in Germany— which confirms the intent of the German secret services as stated in their dossier on Reiner Fuellmich.
This dossier was presented to the court by one of Fuellmich’s defense lawyers. It specified that Fuellmich was to be stopped “at all costs”; that “it is necessary to prepare a criminal case against Fuellmich, [including the] collaboration of prosecutors and suitable third parties”; and recommending “the recruitment and involvement of trusted persons amongst Fuellmich’s closest circle.”
The Persecution of Dr. Reiner Fuellmich: The Biggest Judicial Scandal Ever Seen in Germany, Global Research, April 23, 2025
Many have speculated – because evidence of collusion is difficult to obtain – that Judge Carsten Schindler, as well as prosecutor John are “following orders…”
For those old enough to recall, “following orders” was the defense used by every Nazi on trial at Nuremberg in 1947.
The shame is that Germany’s legal system, today, has, once again, assumed the role of enforcing unlawful State edicts. Reiner Fuellmich’s trial proceedings and verdict defied the rule of law. It was all based on unsubstantiated accusations from the outset.
“The system that has now sentenced Dr. Fuellmich to the expected long prison sentence has also not been squeamish in its treatment of other critics of the abuses prevailing in the country. Critical statements [regarding government policies] are often punished more severely than mass rape and the most serious acts of violence”.
“The German secret services, in collusion with prosecutor Simon Phillip John and Füllmich's accusers, orchestrated a chilling plan to neutralize him. A dossier presented to the court exposed their intent: to fabricate a criminal case, recruit trusted individuals from Füllmich's inner circle, and prevent him from gaining a "politically exposed position." This sinister strategy culminated in his abduction in Mexico on October 12, 2023. Lured to a German consulate under false pretences, and imprisoned in Rosdorf’s maximum-security prison.”
Persecution by the State: German secret service dossier reveals Dr. Reiner Füllmich must be stopped at all costs April 22, 2025
For over 18 months he was unlawfully incarcerated in pre-trial detention in a maximum-security prison in Rosdorf – where he was in solitary confinement for six months. During his trial, before entering the court, he was body-searched and brought to the court and back to prison in shackles and handcuffs, escorted by armed security officers in armored vehicles, as if he were a serial killer!

Clearly, the abuse and inhumane mistreatment of both Johanna Findeisen and Reiner Fuellmich – as if they were mass murders or serial killers –demonstrates that Germany’s Judicial system is once again, complicit in the criminalization and elimination of political opponents – not to render justice – as the judiciary must in a democratic state.
Thank you all for reading about these personal heroes who risked their comfort and safety to speak out against injustice. Evil can only prevail if good people turn a blind eye.
“Silence in the face of evil is evil. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer
If a tidal wave of individuals would stand up and speak out against tyranny, then we will end this massive evil assault and preserve our humanity. The tyrants cannot imprison every one of us….
Never Give In, Never Give Up

As Orwell said:
"In times of Universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act"
The revolution is NOW!
Thank you, Vera, for calling attention to the plight of Johanna Findeisen, whose persecution should be much more widely known and should send a chill down the spines of all dissidents.
