FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Amazon yielded to pressure from President Joe Biden’s White House to suppress books that opposed COVID-19 vaccines, according to documents reviewed by The Daily Signal.
The House Judiciary Committee obtained the emails, which demonstrate the White House’s pressure on Amazon to suppress “anti-vax books” and the company’s decision to take action against the books.
Amazon employees strategized for a meeting with the White House on March 9, 2021, openly asking whether the administration wanted the retailer to remove books from its catalog.
“Is the [a]dmin asking us to remove books, or are they more concerned about search results/order (or both)?” one employee wrote.

Sounds like Amazon might be vulnerable to a big lawsuit from those books authors/publishers.

I write short stories and novels with 40+ items on the Big A. Because I got picked up by a better publishing group, I found another way to sell my material ON Amazon, but not BY Amazon. I am making more money and I don't have them (the "Big A") hiding my material. There is a large group of authors who are looking to sue them.
I have one political dystopian story that leans heavily to the right, and Amazon makes it disappear every six to seven weeks until I contacted them and kvetched about it. It would magically reappear sans the ratings. The last time it happened, they took all of the ratings except for one four-star rating. All the five-star reviews were gone. Instead, they have now made it so the story doesn't appear anywhere unless you search for the name of the book AND my full author name.
Such fun.
I have been showing all of my fellow brother and sister authors how to get honest promotions and sales.

Amazon can crash and burn for all I care. Quit using them after kicking Parler off of their platform. Unbelievable amount of Chinese products being sold.

The Sniffer’s”deal” with Bug Pharma apparently trumps his leadership of America. Still trusting Captain Demento? With your LIFE? VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

I bought The Real Anthony Fauci by Robert Kennedy Jr. on Amazon and it is still sold there.
Best book on the subject, bar none!

We are made to accept flag desecration and a crucifix in a mayonaise jar full of urine because of !st Amendment concerns, and all other sorts of crap, but for books that are critical of the lies now known to exist concerning the Covid-1984 ginned up HYSTERIA and FEAR mongering, it just shows how crooked those who allowed themselves to be used really are.
Oh, the Science! We were forced to DISALLOW treatments that worked in over countries like Ivermectin and others like HCQ by force of government punishing doctors who successfully used them in their practice.
Taking away the right of anyone to disagree is what made things worse, and the rapid speed of 'vaccinnes' without proper trials has shown disastrous bodily results for many.
In hindsight, the oppressive hand of government interference has shown why we must not always trust what is told to us without question.

0 gets up every morning and sends his talking points to the Washington Post where Bezo's staff promptly weaves them into the paper. The rest of the State Media picks it up from there so what do you expect?

Didn't take much pressure to turn Jeff Bezos, owner of the Washington Post. He probably did it on his own volition.

That's the tip of the iceberg. The real coverup is those who died with no treatment and then put on ventilators to run up the bill all the while knowing that Ivermectin is a known cure and is being used in Africa and India. It's even on the NIH website as a treatment and has been the whole time during the "Pandemic".

mRNA vaccines are very dangerous. Blood clots, myocarditis in men, sudden death, autoimmune diseases.

It's called censorship.
No need to try and call it anything else.
And Democrats want people to think Trump is the authoritarian?

Sounds like the author should have a case against the individuals in 'the white hut' who actually did this. Or will they claim they have 'immunity'? I can't imagine such censorship would be considered one of their normal 'duties' and clearly violated Title 18, sec 242 ( and 241 no doubt). Lets see what the DC courts thing about that - oh, wait, the DC courts have proven to be a biased as can be, and congress has proven to be shirkers who refuse to remove the political hacks from the bench.

From the article....
"After the March 9 meeting at the White House, Amazon staff strategized how to respond to a negative story that Buzzfeed would publish discussing “COVID-19 related books for sale on Amazon.” Staff noted that they were “feeling pressure from the White House Taskforce” on the issue of books “related to vaccine misinformation.”"
"...would publish..."
Did the White House coordinate with Buzzfeed to extort a desired response from Amazon?

If the WEF isn't Satan's workshop on earth, they are doing a great dress rehearsal of it.

Forward this to your liberal friends, if any remain and still capable of rational thought. I realize that may be a small number.
