Sigh. Yet another ‘conspiracy theory’ is confirmed as being true. Last year, mainstream news outlets like NBC News effectively admitted that “Republicans’ long-standing claims that they’re being censored online” is basically true, with emails revealing the Biden administration pressured companies like Facebook/Meta and Twitter/X to censor dissenting posts about COVID-19. Source. Even after earlier claiming that “Facebook and Twitter don’t censor conservatives”. Source.
Now, while the mainstream media appears to be currently shying away from the story, though it is ironically being reported via an NBC affiliate, we learn that the Biden administration pressured Amazon to censor books on COVID. Source. Longtime readers of OTN will not be particularly surprised. Publicly available financial data reveals that the world’s richest people basically own/control the big tech companies, mainstream media companies, pharmaceutical companies, pretty much everything, including ‘the science’ and the government. Maybe that’s one reason why billionaires like Bezos and Zuckerberg are busy building bunkers, even when it contradicts their public views on preppers and climate change. People can only take so much before they, you know, do the thing that’s happened several times in history.
Okay then.
I know for sure that Amazon censored dissenting views on COVID-19. How? In August of 2021 I tried to have my then new book " COVID-19 The Education of a Curious American Citizen" listed with Amazon. Within a day, I received notice that the text was not aligned with official government policy and Amazon would not consider listing it.
