Important films should not be censored by Amazon
The Secret of Oz is a very timely documentary at this critical point in American history. Presenting monetary history in ancient and more recent times, it exposes the systemically flawed debt-money system to which the United States and most of the world is currently enslaved. Why should governments have to borrow money into existence from private banks (at interest) if government can simply create the money itself without debt or interest for the benefit of all citizens? Sovereign republics have a responsibility to issue debt-free money into circulation for the protection of the rights of individuals, specifically, the rights of liberty and pursuit of happiness.
Bill Still's film points out how today's money creation system primarily benefits a few elite bankers and financiers at the expense of the rest of humanity. It also offers several solutions to the problem which can not only get us back on track, but enable us to achieve unprecedented prosperity in a short amount of time. Gold is not the answer. The only way to restore free market capitalism, Constitutionally limited government, and individual liberty is for American government to take the power to create the national currency away from Wall Street and put it back where it belongs---in the hands of the people.
It is regrettable that a movie which examines this issue with such detail and clarity is being blocked from further sale by Amazon.com. They cite "performance issues" as the justification, but the seller has ample proof that he far exceeds the performance standards. This smacks to me of thinly veiled censorship.
As a longtime customer of Amazon, I am deeply disappointed with them for this action. I'm afraid I'll have to reconsider how much of my money I spend on purchases through this website.
[EDIT: I thank Amazon for having enough respect for its customers to do the right thing and reinstate The Secret of Oz on the website. Happy holidays to everyone.]
