It is ironic that just today I posted an article about the paramount importance of free speech, which numerous government bureaucracies and large corporations in the West seek to suppress in their purported endeavor to police "hate speech." And just today one of the great media behemoths, Amazon.com suppressed my book (as I expected they might). I assure you there's not even a trace of hate or hate speech in my book.
The Killing of William Browder is a detailed deconstruction of Bill Browder's dangerous deception. It shows beyond a reasonable doubt that Bill Browder's account in his own book (Red Notice) is false. Nevertheless, on the basis of that false narrative, Browder has been able to lobby the U.S. Congress into passing the Magnitsky Act which greatly damaged the bilateral relations between Russia and the United States. Browder himself is on record stating: "I think we are entering into a hot war right now, and that the best possible outcome is a Cold War." This agenda is obviously important enough that you are not allowed to know the truth about it.
My book, published only last month (August 2017), was starting to get some traction and in its first four weeks gained very positive reviews from readers (seven 5-star reviews and one 4-star review). That's when Browder's legal counsel Jonathan M. Winer stepped in. He contacted CreateSpace and demanded that my book be delisted alleging that it contained defamatory content. CreateSpace promptly obliged, suppressing the book and instructing me that I needed to, "work with the disputing party until a resolution is reached." Once I obtained the "disputing party's" agreement, I would need to provide CreateSpace a confirmation from both parties so that they may "take action on the title as appropriate."

Critical books, films and articles are precisely the way we find out about abuse and malfeasance in our societies. They alert us to powerful individuals gaming the system and abusing their privilege. If such individuals can strike any content they dislike off the public record, then how does everyone else learn the truth? Or are we only allowed to know what the lawyered-up elites allow us to know: their interviews, their agendas, their products, their truth?
Without freedom of expression we are vulnerable to manipulation and propaganda that has ultimately led to very tragic outcomes in the last century. This can happen when the voices of ordinary people are suppressed while the good and the great can speak freely to promote their agendas and garnish their public image unchallenged. Criticism of such individuals may not be allowed. Critical reviews of shoddy products and fraudulent practices may not be read. If so, all discussion about issues that are important to society will be shaped by those who can suppress dissenting voices. Such practices befit totalitarian societies and not the free world.
Ultimately, the way we treat freedom of expression will impact the way we shape the world in which future generations will grow up. I would hope that we won't need to teach them to keep their voices silent and to shy away from questioning or offending the privileged classes of our societies. Otherwise in the end we may all have to teach them to love the big brother.

Dangerous Deception'
R.C. again. I will now follow each of those final headlines with what one could have expected around 1949/Stalin Era...
True Link: Origins of the anti-Russia sanctions: The CIA-MI6 plot to corrupt Russia, recruit Navalny, murder Magnitsky, and blame Putin (VIDEO)
RC Modified to Post WWII Red Menace era:
{Origins of USSR’s anti-American actions: The KGB/Stasi plot to communize the USA, recruit Kennedy, murder Poppy Bush & Harriman, and blame Truman (VIDEO) }
William Browder: The financier behind the Magnitsky List, and the myth of 'Russian corruption'
RC Modified to Post WWII Red Menace era:
"Democrat Harriman and Republican Poppy Bush: The financiers behind the McCarthy List, and the myth of 'America’s supposed ‘corruption'
“Film exposing conspiracy of financiers and mainstream media to frame Russia for their own evils banned in West”
(“Film exposing conspiracy of KGB Stasi et al, and their flunkies in Pravda, to frame the USA for the USSR’s own evils banned East of Iron Curtain.)
Not exactly what I was aiming for but you get the point. These anti free speech actions by (and revealed by mere headlines re) ‘our’ (sic) MSM of the PTB, and 'our' (sic) Gov (sic)* (of, for, and by MNC's and their 0.01% owners)
are mind blowing for any informed American** with an open mind, which are ever fewer in the US day by day.
R.C.
*If I were to be consistent throughout, the '(sic)' would be presented no less than thrice as much.
** Please pardon redundancy. These days, all true AmeriCans understand and follow the Founding Fathers' dictates that concomitant with what freedoms we (once) achieved/enjoyed here, is the requirement of keeping aware of all news/events relevant to our government and our freedom, because it can, has, and will, only be stolen by that self same government (sic) once it's surpassed the 75-80% controlled by AmeriKants, tipping point. (Almost there, if not already there.)
