Could this be what happened to our book?
“Burning Books” - real and metaphorical - is a common early gambit...They lose some advantage by being obvious but it's easily made up for by stopping the flow of information.
They have a monopoly on the Internet.
These liberals are censoring the Internet to remove anyone that doesn't follow the leftist mainstream media narratives.
The only thing that can stop them is steemit.

These San Francisco Marxists and the mainstream news media's goal is the removal of Trump in 2018 by coup (democrats winning the House) or in 2020 .
Made me look. None of my reviews have been removed, but then, none of the posted reviews would be considered ‘political’ in nature.
It is odd - perhaps the language in the reviews had been deemed offensive?
Even odder when one considers that much of the “Romance’ that sells on Amazon book book is, at best, poorly done pron - not all, the vast majority of the the works range (IMO) from soft to pretty hard core porn - all that is missing is the photos. It is a disturbing trend, my wife reads Harlequin “Romance” Books - and frankly, much of that strikes me as soft core porn. I suppose that marks me as an old fart.
American is headed for the crapper.....
Totalitarian left is getting bolder.
Violent oppression will be next.
Every liberal is a violent totalitarian thug.
Yes and so has google and google’s youtube, facebook , twitter also.
There are a few growing alternatives now which we all have to spread to others like wildfire if we want any hope of winning, steemit is the best hope now :
Amazon deletes reviews all the time. And no they don’t tell anybody. Not new, not a story, get over it.
Life would be perfect if NPR would read that book. Cover-to-cover, repeatedly. Nonstop. 24-7.
Interesting. Thanks.
Yes, it could. I checked and the reviews are all still there and the email I got back claimed that the book is still active, so I'll be calling the Customer Service number they gave me yesterday when they come to work tomorrow. Yeah, I think you could classify that book as "conservative".
Lol... No argument from me.
Yes, they have become natural monopolies and should be regulated as utilities and common carriers.
I switched to Walmart for my my online shopping. 60 miles to nearest Walmart store.
O’Sullivan’s First LawThat is one way to explain “Bias in the Media.” But if O'Sullivan's First Law is in fact true, it corresponds to saying that “you are either conservative, or you are liberal - the ‘middle’ is logically excluded.” At least in the long run.
An eternal truth.
By John O’Sullivan (EDITOR’S NOTE: This appeared in the October 27, 1989, issue of National Review.)Robert Michels — as any reader of James Burnham's finest book, The Machiavellians, knows was the author of the Iron Law of Oligarchy. This states that in any organization the permanent officials will gradually obtain such influence that its day-to-day program will increasingly reflect their interests rather than its own stated philosophy. To take a homely example, congressmen from egalitarian parties somehow end up voting for higher pay and generous expenses for congressmen . . .
O'Sullivan's First Law: All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing. I cite as supporting evidence the ACLU, the Ford Foundation, and the Episcopal Church. The reason is, of course, that people who staff such bodies tend to be the sort who don't like private profit, business, making money, the current organization of society, and, by extension, the Western world. At which point Michels's Iron Law of Oligarchy takes over — and the rest follows.
We post on FR, a conservative web site. I for one am not ashamed of taking on that designation, tho the word “conservative” is as much a misnomer for people who believe in progress “of, by, and for the American people” as the term “liberal” is for advocates of censorship and government control, or the word “progressive” is for people who prefer to believe in AGW. “Conservatives” are actually skeptics - skeptical both of government (knowing it is prone to excess and hubris, and to suppression of freedom) and of society (knowing that, without government, society would devolve into law of the jungle). “Liberals,” OTOH, are cynical about society and naive about government (which comes first is a chicken-or-egg proposition).
Given the existence of “bias in the media,” conservatives are perforce "philosophers” contending with sophists:
- sophist
- 1542, earlier sophister (c.1380), from L. sophista, sophistes, from Gk. sophistes, from sophizesthai "to become wise or learned," from sophos "wise, clever," of unknown origin. Gk. sophistes came to mean "one who gives intellectual instruction for pay," and, contrasted with "philosopher," it became a term of contempt. Ancient sophists were famous for their clever, specious arguments.
- philosopher
- O.E. philosophe, from L. philosophus, from Gk. philosophos "philosopher," lit. "lover of wisdom," from philos "loving" + sophos "wise, a sage."
"Pythagoras was the first who called himself philosophos, instead of sophos, 'wise man,' since this latter term was suggestive of immodesty." [Klein]
“Conservative” talk radio hosts have to take on all comers, and cannot simply arrogantly claim that anyone who disagrees is subhuman. “Liberals” claim that journalists are objective, even knowing that in fact “No news is good news” - because good news “isn’t news.” Put that way, journalists and other liberals are reduced to claiming that “negativity is objectivity” - a claim which could be the very definition of cynicism.
They are making way too much money from conservatives to outright ban the books altogether.
Start looking around, you can buy from many alternate sites.
I am so tired of FReepers ranting about leftists as they throw their money at them.
I want to tell them all to grow a pair and use some decent search engines and meta searches to find what you want. I recently found an amazon seller’s address and called and got what I wanted with a nice discount and free shipping.
Barnes and Noble is just as bad.
I sometimes go to Amazon to review leftist books. I cannot find the book review link. does anyone know where it is?
Anti trust and RICO violations come to mind for what is going on.
I wonder it this censorship extended to FR’s own dystopian fiction writer, who goes by the username Travis McGee on FR. wo
