CORPORATE FASCISM: Amazon is Now Officially Banning Books

Linkedin Share

If we do not acknowledge the mistakes of our past, we are truly doomed to repeat them.

This is especially true in America, where we exist upon a razor-thin line of binary freedom.  You see, liberty can only exist in one of two states:  free or not free.  The gray areas that we have grown so accustomed to are nothing more than impasses against freedom disguised as questions and doubts.

You are either free, or you are not.  Anyone who tells you differently is smothering your liberty, pure and simple.

Throughout human history, there are tales of these freedom slipping away slowly, under the guise of social justice – which is nothing more than someone’s opinion on right or wrong.  Nazi book burning, for instance, was supported by a great many Germans who were tricked into believing that some of their fellow countrymen’s opinions should not be allowed.

Amazon, taking a page from the Nazi playbook, (no pun intended), has now officially set off down this path toward totalitarianism and fascism-of-thought with their latest move.

On January 7 of this year, I published an article at PJ Media about Amazon removing doormats featuring Qur’an verses from sale because the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) found them offensive. In that article, I asked:

How long will it be before Hamas-linked CAIR starts demanding that books that criticize jihad terror and Sharia oppression of women, gays, and others also be dropped by Amazon?

The answer turned out to be 51 days.

This is where it gets truly alarming.

It’s the British government and the BBC, rather than CAIR, that are likely behind this, but Amazon has just dropped the book Mohammed’s Koran by the renowned British activist Tommy Robinson and Peter McLoughlin — and apparently only because its censors dislike Robinson. In the last two weeks, Robinson spectacularly embarrassed the BBC by exposing the bias and dishonesty of its reporter John Sweeney. The retaliation has been swift and severe: Robinson has been banned from YouTube and Facebook, and now his book has been withdrawn from sale.

Coauthor Peter McLoughlin states:

[T]his is the twenty-first century equivalent of the Nazis taking out the books from university libraries and burning them. Can you think of another scholarly book on Islam that has been banned by Amazon? Mein Kampf is for sale on Amazon. As are books like the terrorist manual called The Anarchist Cookbook.

Anti-conservatism is spreading and being weaponized by the liberal masses, along with their cretinous corporate cabal.

In history, we have only a few examples from which to draw guidance in this situation…none of which turned out well.  Vigilance is not only necessary at this point, but fundamental to the survival of freedom in 2019.
