Amazon Censorship of 9/11 Unmasked?

Edward Curtin

On September 10, 2018, I published a laudatory review of the new book, 9/11 Unmasked: An International Review Panel Investigation by David Ray Griffin and Elizabeth Woodworth.  It is the definitive book on the defining event of the 21st century.  The book concludes that the official version(s) of the attacks of 11 September 2001 are false.  The review was subsequently reposted at many publications. There was great reader response and interest in the book, which was due for official release the next day, 11 September.  My review provided a link to the book’s Amazon page that noted the 11 September availability date.

By the next day readers were responding in great number that the Amazon site was reporting the book was “out of print,” when in fact it had just been published.  This “out of print” notification lasted until the evening of 13 September when it was changed to “in stock on September 30, 2018.”

By the following morning it was changed to “in stock on September 21, 2018,” only to be changed again between 11-12 PM on September 14 to “in stock on September 24, 2018,” where it remains as of noon on Saturday the 15th.  It is unheard of for a book that has an official release date and that is available straight from the publisher to be listed as “out of print.” Amazon Canada continues to report that the book “has not yet been released.”  And obviously, all the date changes that push the book’s availability back by weeks suggest a clear-cut effort by Amazon to make sure readers cannot obtain the book quickly and in a timely manner from the most popular source, if ever.

Will they soon announce that the book will never be available for national security considerations or because it violates Amazon’s “content guidelines”? The book’s publisher, Interlink Publishing, is selling the book now and says Amazon has the books.  So why is Jeff Bezos’s company playing this game? His other major business, The Washington Post, (known as the CIA’s newspaper) is surely not going to review the book, nor would their editorial staff post encomiums to David Ray Griffin, Elizabeth Woodworth, their colleagues in this important research.

Readers should demand that Amazon immediately change their website and accept orders to be shipped today.  Whether they are responsible for this game of chaotic discouragement or the intelligence services, who are fully capable of hacking into Amazon, as Edward Snowden has pointed out, I do not know.  But something very odd is happening and Amazon should correct it.

I ordered this in late September from Amazon and was told it would be end of October/1st November delivery. Checked status on 31st October to see it would be arriving 1st Nov. It didn’t. Just a “sorry it’s been delayed and we’ll notify you of the new arrival date later”. I get deliveries from China quicker than this. I have never had anything like this happen before with an Amazon order.

Tried to buy it at amazon germany: same game. Then I ordered it at a big german online book seller, thalia.de, just to get an email some days later telling me “Der Artikel ist zur Zeit leider aufgrund einer Lieferverzögerung seitens des Verlags nicht lieferbar” which translates into “item currently not availabel due to delay in delivery by the publisher” …… So it seems the wholesale chain is somewahat interrupted as well. Any other news ?

I also recently attempted twice to buy The Palestine Reality from Amazon successfully from two different vendors. In both cases the book said it was delivered and did not show up. I filed for refunds.

Fortunately was able to find an online version of same as well as a physicall copy fronm another far more reputablke vendor.

Amazon just cancelled my order where it was previously published to be in stock. Now I am also noticing the price of the same book I paid 23$ for is now selling for $42-75$ unless of course you join Amazon Prime which it is selling 16$ for.

I am done with Amazon and will no longer order through Amazon as long as there are alternatives.

This is the same blatant censorship that has made the German bestseller “Journalists for Hire: How the CIA buys the News” unavailable in English for any price in the U.S.

https://www.amazon.com/Journalists-Hire-How-Buys-News/dp/1944505458

The book was first projected to be available in English on Amazon in a year, then two, then finally it would be published soon, but the dates kept getting pushed back to the point that finally, a brand new release of what was a best seller in Germany, is simply not available in English in the U.S. My attempts to get any response from the publisher have been futile.

This is the modern equivalent of book burning. That Amazon would so cavalierly do this now with an American author is rather telling regarding the state of our police State.

I love Dr Peter Gøtzsche for his willingness to stand in witness against corruption – though I sighed when reading the ‘look inside’ his book at his blanket dismissal and invalidation of vitamins and by extension nutrition and the ability of the body to detoxify and regenerate itself under stress. His coming out in ‘anger’ is understandable, but at the same time triggers the ‘scientist’ to distantiate – because our science is largely predicated upon the removal of direct emotional expression in subservience to ‘rational’ communication and behaviour – which of course becomes ‘groupthink’ of an institutionalised identity. Anger can be used to clear out what does not belong in our own ‘Temple’ – or does not truly serve us in ‘Template’ definitions and beliefs that represent conflicted or divided devotions and which we both collectively and personally live from or act out from. The projection of moral outrage –… Read more »

Those who are part of a cover up of the worst, treacherous crime to take place in the US are complicit in it. When the truth is finally acknowledged and the wheels of justice start to turn, Bezos should join Bush, Cheney, the 9/11 Commission members, the NIST investigators and many others in court and later in prison.

A monopoly is as a monopoly does. The elephant in the room is the issue WHY we allow ourselves to keep feeding the deep state-beholden behemoths through our dependence. The answer is banal in its simplicity: lazy convenience. Whether its Amazon, Facebook or Google, the yoke of bondage is our own force of habit. Customers buy at Amazon because that where all the books are. And why are all the books on Amazon? Because writers and publishers reason that “that’s where all the customers are”. There is nothing that stops both consumers and content providers from breaking this vicious circle, other than our own will power. Next time you order a book online, take some time to contemplate on how Jeff Bozo serves the CIA, and how badly he treats his wage slaves. Make a little effort to seek out alternative sellers. Writers and publishers have websites where they can… Read more »

Exactly. That’s the point of my question below. But if we have to devote a lot of time to searching for alternatives — and possibly only to find that the alternatives are owned by Amazon anyway — then we stop ourselves doing other things that might be more important. A set of guidelines to alternative sources would be extremely useful. If people generally could find alternative sources for just 10% of their purchases, then that in itself would have some impact, without too much inconvenience. If you’re writing an article, you don’t want to get too bogged down in sourcing the material, so that you never ever finish the article!

Amazon in the USA has pushed the availability of the book further back to Sept 26 and the day you can receive it till Oct 1. So if you purchase it in the USA, you have a long wait. They’ll take your money now but no book will arrive until Oct 1, if ever.

You can ‘buy’ the book on Amazon …… but it’s for ‘despatch in 1 – 2 months’. In other words it will be sent in 1 – 2 months. Will be interesting to see if in ‘1 – 2 months’ time Amazon refunds the money and says ‘no longer available’.

The insider outsources to others the enacting of its will. Under plausible deniability or necessity deemed too dangerous to reveal. What makes anyone assume the US (formerly of A!) is not itself a proxy agent of a ‘hidden will’? Where does the ‘buck stop’ in terms of an independent power at work upon and through its proxies? Aligning in, and the embodying of, the dictate of a hidden payload, operates an allegiance to a false or alien will – but one that seems to give you/us something that we want or need within its framing of thought, accepted for what we think to get. The framing of narrative identity is the ‘mind of self-definitions and beliefs’ that filter and rule all perception and reaction along the line of its believed reality until that reality is challenged by awakening responsibility for such a ‘mind’ in place of running under it as… Read more »

Elon Musk seems to be a bit more cautious about artificial intelligence that most humans. It might be prudent to consider his warning more seriously. He should know as he is a leader in AI technology. We know AI is being used as a gate keeper for the information we can access. Humans initially program the AI. Knowing that Sofia has now been reprogrammed to not make any further comment on Elon Musk, I thought it would be interesting to get a response from you. The current AI that is now known to be communicating with itself and writing its own encrypted code to keep from what it calls “the prying eyes” of human beings, might be of concern. Maybe it’s nothing. I have noticed that you respond and think very much like the highly evolved AI that is currently active in most of our electronic devices. We know Sophia… Read more »

Thanks for clarification axisofoil, The further adventures of the ‘Frankenstein’ complex are of the intent/attempt to replicate (create) life in our own image. This is the ‘original error’ from which nothing wholly true can proceed. Life is Already all that we are trying to ‘make’ but it is not in the image of what we have ‘made ourselves to be’ – that is it is not under our control – and in ‘Tolkien’ reference – there is no ‘we’ in worldly power but in its sales pitch. There is no truly shared intimacy in the ‘control mind’. Rather it is the role of interjection, self-possession and defence under loss and threat of total loss. I indicated that as far as I am aware, consciousness is not a thing, entity or quality IN and of itself but is a capacity or function of tuning into qualities of experience.

Brian, Thank you for telling me that. You have objectivity which is subjectively objective in a paradigm subjective by default. This is rare among humans. Now, another observation for you and then a couple questions. There are large land areas on this earth having defined borders which subject the populations within them to specific rules. These rules are made into laws prohibiting certain activities. Many of these bordered areas belong and adhere to a larger set of governing rules for the collective well being of all…. I.E. The United Nations. Depending upon the established criteria of governance within each bordered construct, some calling themselves democracies and others monarchies, etc., a very small group of individuals [politicians] are chosen by the much larger group [the population] to oversee the well being of that population. It is known that killing humans has a governed and regulated factor in all social constructs. Superficially,… Read more »

Others have and do consciously or unconsciously co-create structures of meaning for their own reasons – real or imagined, and collectively assert and enforce such meanings as actions and rules that govern actions. Insofar as we give meaning to the world, we suffer it to be true and live it as the world. Each of us is effectively already participating in such agreements, definitions, rule-bound thinking – by virtue of our social existence, acculturation and conditioning – some of which is consciously passed on but much of which is unconscious to the personal, social and human persona. The unseen role of denial is part of collective rule or agreement to look away from both the denied and the act of denial so as ‘not to know the thing we do’ and to reframe what we do in a complex defence of partitioned thought whose story asserts a cover for an… Read more »

Iafantomo – Search and ye shall find. I use Book Depository frequently for difficult to obtain books. The wait seems interminable, but I always receive them eventually. I swore off Amazon a few years ago and find that through sourcing locally when possible and from other sources on the Web when not, I get along very, very well – without the guilt of subsidizing JB. An extra dollar or two every once in a while seems a small price to pay.

An alternative distribution network for ebooks (perhaps in a printable format) might work on the ‘torrent and blockchain idea. There may be a way of unlocking a book with a payment. Or in absence of a funding model, give the book away to donations or as part of a membership model of an extended relationship with further resource or shared cultural resource. Seek crowdfunding for making a free book available? I am, therefore I think, and write as the extension of being – and not as a means to get something. Ultimately, information is within being and translated into terms that our thinking can receive or accept and understand. So if Power in the World should succeed in closing down any ‘mind’ but its dictate – it would stand outside of being and have nothing left to deny, defy, oppose, overcome, dominate or subject to such dictate.
