Amazon customers protesting censorship of dvd about the crooked financial system.
There are a lot of customer "reviews" protesting Amazon's pulling of
The Secret of Oz, a new movie that lays out how big the national debt is, how the Federal Reserve
system manipulates our money, etc.

Amazon carried the movie for 3 days then refused to stock it anymore.

Here is link to the site of the film maker with the Amazon letter
http://www.secretofoz.com/

and here is link to the Amazon page. The customer comments are interesting, to say the least.

http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Oz-James-Robertson-UK/dp/B002WLS890/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1259195300&sr=1-1

1. Doesn't wash
the author is encouraging people who haven't bought the item to go and write positive reviews.

Amazon carries plenty of material along the same lines. Why would they bother "Censoring" this one guy?

2. this one has gotten a lot of critical acclaim
I haven't seen it. But, most of these type things are kind of thrown together. Perhaps this one presents more of a danger by actually being good.

I'd love to know the back story, though.

3. The back story is he is the guy who did the
"Money as Debt" video, which was mostly seen on YouTube and Google video.
His POV is how the Central Banks got and have the power to create debt which congress agrees to buy, instead of the people/government having direct access to debt free money.
Lincoln kicked out the Banksters and had the government use greenbacks, no "borrowing"
our own money from the banks and remaining in perpetual debt.
There are those who say that is why he was killed.

Amazon apparently agreed to market the video, then stopped carrying it after 3 days.

4. I'd like to buy it but I don't feel comfortable using PayPal. I wish
there was some other way to buy it.

7. Of course!

The only way to continue the "con" (confidence game) is to keep the victims bamboozled.

All sources of information, like the media, books, music and movies are now controlled by just a few corporate "players" or owners.

They, naturally, want to maintain the status quo, their control of us, all of us.

The only glimmer of hope for spreading alternative analysis is the internet...

8. Have the DVD makers tried to sell it as a reseller?
I don't know about this. Seems as if Amazon intended censorship that they would take the whole thing down, rather than leave it there and say it was unavailable--particularly given the comments. As it is, there is an option there to sell it if you have some and want to sell them. Has anyone tried that to see if Amazon would accept that?
