SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT:

THIS HAS TO BE STOPPED BY PUBLIC PRESSURE – FROM REDSTATE:  In the latest example of corporate America kowtowing to the Communists in Beijing, internal memos and Amazon.com insiders have revealed the company’s continuing appeasement of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), including colluding with state propaganda operatives to delete reviews of books critical of the regime.  Notably, as reported by Reuters, Amazon caved in like a cheap Mao suit to a CCP edict that it stop allowing negative customer ratings and reviews of the book “Xi Jinping: The Governance of China,” which contains many of Xi’s speeches and writings, as well as other state propaganda.  It gets worse.  Said a company insider, according to Reuters: “I think the issue was anything under five stars.”  Currently, on the Chinese site Amazon.cn, the government-published book has no customer reviews, ratings, nor even a working “comments” section, all of which are included on other Amazon.com sites.  The record will show that a number of American corporations collaborated with the Nazis before World War II, and some have been charged by researchers for collaborating during the war itself.  No one gets punished.
