THE AMAZON FILES PART 3 – AMAZON’S CENSORED BOOKS LIST
We knew that @Amazon censored books because of pressure from the Biden @WhiteHouse.
Now we know which books:
--Children’s Books
--Books for Parents
--Books critical of Big Pharma
🧵 Thread:
.@JudiciaryGOP and @Weaponization obtained internal Amazon documents showing that the urgent “impetus” for Amazon censoring books in March 2021 was “criticism from the Biden administration.”
To censor the books, Amazon created a “new [Do Not Promote] class for anti-vax books.”
Internal emails reveal that Amazon initially added 43 books to its newly created “Do Not Promote” class of allegedly anti-vaccine books.
These pro-censorship changes were being made “due to criticism from the Biden people.”
In response to a subpoena from @JudiciaryGOP, @Amazon revealed the 43 book titles it censored because of the Biden White House’s pressure.
Whether you love or hate the books on this list, no bookstore should be censoring books because of government pressure.
The Biden White House’s pressure led Amazon to censor CHILDREN’S BOOKS.
That’s right.
Picture books.
For children.
Before COVID, a children’s book author dared to draft a book for unvaccinated children facing discrimination, “especially in California or New York.”
The author said the book “promotes love, understanding, and kindness to everyone.”
Biden and Amazon preach "tolerance." Right?
The children’s book said the vaccinated & unvaccinated can be friends.
Instead of censoring it, Amazon should have sent the book to Fauci, @GavinNewsom, and @JoeBiden. Remember when they said everyone had to comply with their made-up rules and vax mandates or lose their jobs?
Top-selling books for parents also were targeted.
There is nothing the Biden Admin and the elites hate more than parents making their own decisions about their children’s education, health, and values.
And if these efforts weren’t enough to effectively deamplify opposing viewpoints, Amazon also censored books reviewing scientific papers.
The book also had the audacity to address whether Big Pharma’s funding of research has the potential to create conflicts of interest.
Under the guise of combatting “anti-vaccine” misinformation, Amazon censored everything from picture books for children to books criticizing Big Pharma.
These 43 books are only the tip of the iceberg.
Amazon, YouTube, and Facebook each caved to the Biden White House’s censorship campaign.
Don’t let the Biden Admin tell you that their censorship campaign was about concerns of misinformation going viral on social media. They were going after BOOKS too.
This is—and always has been—about suppressing disfavored views, not purported challenges of new technologies.
This is unconstitutional government censorship, full stop.
Whether you agree with this speech or not, free speech is free speech and the Biden Admin pressured private companies to censor constitutionally protected speech.
.@JudiciaryGOP and @Weaponization will continue this critical investigative work to further inform legislative solutions to dismantle the Biden Administration’s censorship regime.

Before finalizing a new content moderation policy proposal, YouTube asked the Biden White House to review and for their “feedback.”
🧵 Thread:
.@JudiciaryGOP and @Weaponization obtained internal Google docs revealing the Biden White House’s pressure campaign against YouTube.
As revealed in the YouTube Files, the company was concerned things could “spiral out of control” and wanted to stay on good terms with the White House because they were seeking “to work closely with [the Biden] administration on multiple policy fronts.”
“The impetus for this request is criticism from the Biden Administration about sensitive books we’re giving prominent placement to, and should be handled urgently.”
🧵 Thread:
In Amazon Files Part 1, we saw that Amazon had to prep talking points in March 2021 about whether the Biden Admin was asking the company to remove books.
On March 2, 2021, the Biden White House began its pressure campaign.
President Biden’s policies have ensured that most illegal aliens can remain in the country indefinitely—even after those illegal aliens have 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞.
In fact, instead of ensuring that criminal illegal aliens can be quickly removed from the United States, President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas have made it 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭 for ICE officers to arrest criminals.
🧵 THREAD:
In September 2021, Secretary Mayorkas issued a memo entitled “Guidelines for the Enforcement of Civil Immigration Law.”
The training materials for the “Mayorkas Memo,” which were obtained by @JudiciaryGOP, reveal the absurdity of the Administration's "enforcement priorities."
The materials include a laundry list of "mitigating factors" for an ICE officer to consider before arresting or removing an illegal alien, including:
-An illegal alien's age and length of presence in the United States;
-"[A] mental condition that may have contributed to the criminal conduct, or a physical or mental condition requiring care or treatment";
-"[I]mpact of removal on family in the United States, such as loss of provider or caregiver";
-"[W]hether the [alien] may be eligible for humanitarian protection or other immigration relief"; and
-"[T]ime since an offense and evidence of rehabilitation."
Secretary Mayorkas is currently BLOCKING the release of information related to several criminal illegal aliens.
Info we are seeking: when the illegal alien crossed the border, why they were released, criminal history, etc.
Who are the people that he’s covering for?
🧵 THREAD:
2. Daniel Hernandez-Martinez
On October 30, 2023, @JudiciaryGOP requested information about Martinez, a Venezuelan national, who allegedly “randomly attacked at least three strangers and two cops and [was] arrested—and released—six times on 14 different charges” within just two months of his arrival in New York City.
Roberto Emilio Vasquez-Santamaria.
On October 30, 2023, the Committee requested information about Vasquez-Santamaria, a national of Peru, following reports that Texas Rangers arrested the alien for an alleged murder. Vasquez-Santamaria is accused of “bludgeon[ing] [the victim] to death in the backyard of a home.”
1. Hunter Biden said that he didn’t recall dropping a laptop off at a Delaware repair shop.
Multiple FBI and IRS officials have said that they authenticated the laptop at the Delaware repair shop as Hunter Biden’s in December 2019.
2. Hunter Biden said he did not remember a lunch at the Four Seasons in D.C. with CEFC officials and his dad.
Rob Walker testified that weeks before Hunter Biden and his business partners received $3 million from CEFC, Hunter Biden hosted a lunch that Walker attended at the Four Seasons where his dad dropped by and addressed the CEFC officials for 10 minutes.
3. Hunter Biden said that after Burisma executives talked to him about the pressure coming from the Ukrainian government, he did not call anyone in D.C.
But if he did, Hunter Biden said it was likely his children. Devon Archer testified that after Hunter Biden received the Burisma executives’ request, he called D.C.—“he called his dad.”
