Amazon re-censors “The Art of War: Sun Tzu, Barack Obama, and the Modern Moment”

Guess

I spoke too soon

yesterday when I said that

Amazon had lifted its censorship

of The Art of War: Sun Tzu, Barack Obama,

and the Modern Moment. Turns out Amazon is still

censoring my book everywhere except in the United States —

as far as I can tell, anyway. I’m getting stuff

like this from all over

the place.

Jeff Bezos

likes to do stuff like this.

He went through a brouhaha years ago

when it was discovered that Amazon was censoring gay

and lesbian material. You could look it up. He doesn’t seem to feel shy or

apologetic about performing this kind of function for the entire planet, either.

He sure as hell doesn’t answer emails about it. I know he reads his

email — I asked him directly for some dough for

Earth Nation Live once, and a nice woman

named Alice Powers from his office

got in touch to say no,

sorry.

But he

sure ain’t talking

to me now.
