Amazon is quietly canceling its Nazis.
Over the past 18 months, the retailer has removed two books by David Duke, a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan, as well as several titles by George Lincoln Rockwell, the founder of the American Nazi Party. Amazon has also prohibited volumes like The Ruling Elite: The Zionist Seizure of World Power and A History of Central Banking and the Enslavement of Mankind.

Amazon reserves the right to determine whether content provides an acceptable experience, said one recent removal notice that the company sent to a bookseller.

Amazon wants its customers to trust Amazon, he said. The place that sells books doesnt want much critical thinking.
In 1998, when Amazon was an ambitious start-up, its founder, Jeff Bezos, said, We want to make every book available the good, the bad and the ugly. Customers reviews, he said, would let truth loose.

Amazon believes it is censorship not to sell certain books simply because we or others believe their message is objectionable, it said at the time.

I do not sell on Amazon and my shipping prices are higher because of it. If you pay the danegeld to Amazon you can sell at a lower price.
Thanks for the correction!
Is Amazon receiving government subsidies? I did not know that.
Yes, it's been tough for other businesses to compete with Amazon which is becoming a monopoly.
I don’t believe in book censorship so as Jew, I don’t want these blatantly anti-Semitic, anti-black books banned from sale. Nuts will get them somewhere.
So if Amazon can sell the works of Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Castro, Ho Chi Minh, Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky (a self-hating Jew) and Al Sharpton, then they can sell the works of their equivalents on the other side of the political spectrum (though they all are the same when you examine their hatreds).
If Bezos is so big on space exploration, let’s coin a new phrase for him “In Space, Nobody Cares What You Read, So Let’s Do the Same on Earth”.
I see what you mean... Checking further, I see news articles about that. It’s like Amazon is calling the shots everywhere, even with the USPS.
It’s understandable that smaller businesses sometimes must charge more. They have to, in order to cover their higher costs. Good luck with your business.
