I did so, and Amazon refused to publish it, saying the review must be about the product, not the artist. Apparently they really meant, not about the artist unless it’s something flattering and positive about the artist and will in no way threaten the millions of dollars we make off of said artist.

I was stunned, to say the least. This is clear and outright censorship, and the policy is total crap, especially since there’s proof positive on the site that they don’t follow any such policy. I’ve lost all respect for Amazon over this incident.

There’s a word for that, it’s called “a cult operating in a glass house being stupid enough to throw stones.” My God, in the McPherson case itself Scientology lied by insisting over and over and over that they had not put Lisa on the Introspection Rundown — and then turned around and made it a cornerstone of their case. As for Hubbard, my God, what DIDN’T Hubbard lie about: lied about being a nuclear physicist instead of a college dropout, lied about being a war hero instead of a malingerer and bungler removed from duty for incompetence more than once, lied about healing himself from war wounds that he never suffered and from athritis and bursitis that he continued to draw disability pay for for years afterwards. As for the CoS, let’s not forget the Big Lie they told, trying to frame Paulette Cooper for bomb threats. The minute they bring up the issue of “who’s credible” they have painted a big fat bullseye right on their own vulnerability. Hit them hard.
