Censorship And Modern-Day Book Burnings: Amazon Bans CV Skeptic's Book


"A Truly Orwellian Culture" - Amazon Removes COVID Skeptic's Book For Violating Content Guidelines





Around the time Twitter purged New York Post's bombshell stories about Hunter Biden from its platform, late last week, Amazon was busy censoring any criticism against the "official" COVID-19 narrative, with the banning of at least one book from its Amazon Books store. 

Political writer James Perloff's latest book, "Covid-19 and the Agendas to Come: Red-Pilled," was removed from Amazon on Thursday, he tweeted

"BAD NEWS. After selling over 3,500 copies for Amazon since publication on August 20, Amazon has banned my book "COVID-19 and the Agendas to Come, Red-Pilled." Individual orders can still be placed at..." Perloff tweeted. 

Book: "Covid-19 and the Agendas to Come: Red-Pilled" 


Perloff spoke with RT News about the incident, which he outlined how Amazon's act of censorship validates his book's findings, expressing concern that "the censorship on Covid has been getting progressively stronger, even as the death rate from Covid has been getting progressively lower."

"We are in a truly Orwellian culture," he warned. 

Perloff said Amazon contacted him on Thursday, asking him to "clarify [his] rights to the book" – something he said was already completed in August when the book went up for sale on the e-commerce platform. As RT explains:

"But before he could finish gathering the material required to prove once again that he owned the global rights to his own work, he received another email from Amazon, this time claiming they had removed his book "during a quality assurance review of [his] catalog" because it "violated content guidelines."" 




He then "asked them [Amazon] to specify what guidelines [he] had violated," they responded that the book violated "our content guidelines."

"We reserve the right to determine whether content provides a poor customer experience and remove the content from the sale," Amazon said. 

After that, Amazon deleted the book from its platform. Using an embedded link on Perloff's website, directing people to purchase the book on Amazon, one can see below by clicking on the link, that the Amazon page selling the book no longer exists. 

According to RT, and perhaps why Amazon removed the book, is that it "traces how the Covid-19 pandemic has been used by governments around the world to force draconian social control measures upon a terrified populace, evaluates several theories regarding the virus' origin, and offers some projections about what might lie ahead for humanity – including how populations might work together to avoid some of the most totalitarian outcomes." 





Perloff said the book is sourced, with hundreds of references via scholarly journals and other top sources:

"There is nothing I say in the book that isn't documented," he said, pointing out that several other coronavirus dissenters are selling their books on the platform without incident.

RT's Helen Buyniski, who wrote the story on Perloff's book ban, tweeted that "Bezos nuking his new book exposing the COVID19 New Normal as a global Police State- forewarned is fore-armed, as they say."

From social media to e-commerce sites, banning alternative views or maybe even the truth, in some cases, if it goes against the official narrative, has become the new normal as America descends deeper into an Orwellian state

If readers want to hear more about the book, Perloff was recently on a podcast, uploaded to YouTube, discussing how "COVID is threatening to destroy America." 




Twitter Refuses To Unlock NYPost Account Unless Paper Deletes Tweets About Hunter Biden


Tyler Durden


By immediately condemning the Hunter Biden emails and photos published by the New York Post as the work of Russian hackers colluding with Rudy Giuliani, the MSM destroyed any credibility it might have had. As we pointed out earlier, more evidence has emerged to support Giuliani's version of events - namely, that he was given a copy of the laptop's hard drive and all of its contents by the owner of a Delaware computer-repair shop.

But despite apologizing and acknowledging  "straight up blocking of URLs was wrong", Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has apparently not finished punishing the New York Post, because three days after the account was initially frozen, the New York Post hasn't been able to tweet, and according to a NY Post report, Twitter has frozen the New York Post's account until the paper's social media managers agree to delete six tweets about Hunter Biden.


"Anyone who looks at The Post’s Twitter feed can’t even see the tweets about the Biden stories, which have been replaced by messages saying, 'This Tweet is no longer available,'" the Post wrote on Friday.

Twitter previously said the Post's Hunter Biden stories violated the website's Hacked Media Policy which prohibits the display of "hacked" information, an allegation that the Post called "baseless." However, on Friday, Twitter updated that policy, saying it will start labeling content that violates its rules rather than remove it altogether "unless it is directly shared by hackers or those acting in concert with them."

Confusingly, though, the company said that these changes wouldn't apply retroactively, meaning that the NYP still must delete the tweets if it wants to use its account again, even though readers can't even see them.


Twitter confirmed in an interview with Fox Business that the NY Post "has been informed what is necessary to unlock their account."

Facebook, meanwhile, is temporarily restricting circulation of the story until an independent team of fact checkers has had time to investigate the claims, and certify they are real.

While social media has been rife with speculation, in the days since the first NYP story was published, nobody has offered anything in the way of evidence - however circumstantial or unconvincing - that the materials were stolen by hackers. Beyond James Clapper's 'professional opinion', the MSM has nothing to support these claims.



Facebook’s Lead Executive on Election Policy Is Former Joe Biden Advisor on Ukraine — This Helps Explain Their Censorship of Hunter’s Emails

Jim Hoft 


And we can confirm that Facebook is ramping up their censorship against out publication significantly the last three weeks — an election is coming up.

On Saturday Conservative Treehouse broke the story that Facebook’s lead executive on Election Policy is Joe Biden’s former advisor to Ukraine.
Anna Makanju works for Facebook today after advising the Biden Crime family in Ukraine and eastern Europe.

Fool Nelson first posted this on Anna Makanju on Twitter.


Anna Makanju, @Facebook's public policy and legal expert leading efforts to ensure election integrity, was @JoeBiden's senior policy advisor for Ukraine. She should recuse herself from the @nypost stories. atlanticcouncil.org/expert/anna-ma
