Amazon Censors Trump Assassination Book Cover
Jack Posobiec's 'Bulletproof' cover shows black models from obscure magazine
The power Amazon holds over Western culture cannot be denied.
The digital megastore rules over the publishing landscape. Its Prime Video service remains a serious, deep-pocked rival to Netflix. Its swift delivery methods click with our short-attention-span age.
The platform also regularly censors content that doesn’t fit the progressive narrative.
The latest example is a stunner.
Conservative pundit Jack Posobiec co-wrote a book (with Joshua Lisec) recalling the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump’s life just weeks ago.
It’s called “Bulletproof: How a Shot Meant for Donald Trump Took Out Joe Biden.” The title refers to Trump’s triumphant reaction to the attack as well as President Biden’s subsequent withdrawal from the presidential race.
Bulletproof: How a Shot Meant for Donald Trump Took Out Joe Biden is the first complete preliminary investigative report on the attempted assassination of President Donald J. Trump that occurred on July 13, 2024, at 6:11 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time in Butler, PA, USA.
The book will be available Oct. 22, roughly two weeks before Election Day. Pre-sales always loom large over new book titles. Yet when Amazon visitors come to the page they find this image, not the one Posobiec originally intended.
The visual appears to be from an obscure culture magazine called “Kinfolk.”
Author and cartoonist Scott Adams shared the news via his X account. He called the fake cover a “porn book,” so he’s either mischaracterizing the image or a previous version of the Amazon page featured a different visual.
“You really have to ask yourself, ‘Did that happen by chance?'” Adams said of the mistake, adding the mega-seller also tinkered with one of his titles.
“Two for two,” Adams said with a chuckle. He accused Amazon of throwing curious roadblocks in one of his book’s way. He didn’t elaborate.
ATTN: I do not know what is going on but
This is NOT the cover for Bulletproof, @Amazon
They are sabotaging the FIRST book every written about the Trump assassination https://t.co/nA5vAkOOIJ pic.twitter.com/4cWXg486zL

The provocateur said a second edition of his 2017 tome “Win Bigly,” recalling Trump’s shocking electoral win, is in the works. Amazon has similarly rigged the book’s release, he claimed. He didn’t share more details, and the 2017 edition appears to feature the book’s proper cover on Amazon.com.
There’s no Amazon update on the book’s second edition.
This isn’t the first time Amazon has interfered with a right-leaning title or inconvenient truth-teller. The platform shared, and then withdrew without warning “Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words” three years ago.
The site also attempted to ban “What Killed Michael Brown?” a riveting documentary debunking the media narratives behind the Missouri resident’s 2014 death.
More recently, filmmaker Robby Starbuck claimed the platform yanked his 2024 documentary “The War on Children” for spurious reasons.
UPDATE: As of Sept. 9, Amazon has the correct book jacket on the link.
“The platform also regularly censors content that doesn’t fit the progressive narrative.”
Since the individual does NOT use the property of others ABSENT or in contradiction to that individual’s PERMISSION, it is NOT ‘censorship’ – NOT a WRONGFUL act – for a property owner to refuse or limit ANYONE’S access to his property for ANY reason.
In other words, contrary to the article’s premise here, you do not “censor” a graffiti artist when you deny or restrict his use of your walls as his canvas. The claim that you are engaged in a WRONGFUL act against the graffiti artist is the claim that he has the RIGHT to your life and effort, to dispose of it as HE sees fit, to satisfy HIS desires.
The claim of ‘censorship’ is the claim that YOU are HIS PROPERTY.
You ain’t.
Unfortunately, both the Left AND the Right (as this article demonstrates) REJECT this fact. They BOTH keep proving they know NOTHING (or words, don’t CARE) about rights – especially the right of Free Speech. BOTH seek to VIOLATE the individual’s monopolistic right to his own life and his own effort in the name of THEIR supposed right TO the individual’s life and effort.
That is the SHARED evil of the Left and the Right. They BOTH *feel* they have the right to dispose of the individual as THEIR PROPERTY. They simply disagree with one another over the ‘best’ way to dispose of their human CHATTEL.
Keep it up, Amazon, with the Alexa support for Kamala and the sabotage against Trump. Americans will dump your services in huge numbers because, unlike you, most Americans are fair-minded and abhor this kind of behavior.
“Americans will dump your services”
If Americans disagree with Amazon, that is indeed the process by which they rightfully show their displeasure.
Unfortunately, like the Left, the Right doesn’t WANT to leave it at that. As with their complaints about “social media”, the Right wants the government to VIOLATE Amazon et al’s rights so as to stop fraudulently-claimed acts of ‘censorship’ supposedly committed by these companies (see my separate remarks about the evil of such claims in the comment section here).
I just checked and it shows a simple black and white text cover. But it is a dead end with no connection to the book.
The left has infiltrated every institution of society.
Their only goal is complete absolute power and they will get it by any means necessary.
We are in a war and so far, they have won all the battles.
Wake up.
“The left has infiltrated every institution of society”
That’s because the Left preach and practice the philosophy held by virtually the entire population of the globe: Altruism/Collectivism/Statism. It is such a pervasive philosophy that even the Right has become just another, competing sect OF the Left. In other words, “the left has infiltrated” even the Right today – which is why what was FAR Left a century ago is MAINSTREAM Right today, and what was Right a century ago is EXTINCT.
Today, everyone – Left, Right, and otherwise – treat the individual as their PROPERTY, to be disposed of as THEY see fit, to satisfy THEIR desires. They all just disagree with one another as to the ‘best’ way to dispose of that human CHATTEL.
In other words, the war here is just an Internecine War between rival gangs of wannabe human Asset Managers.
So it is indeed time to “wake up” – “wake up” to the fact that the individual is NOT one’s PROPERTY. More specifically, it is time to “Wake Up” and STOP treating the individual *as* one’s PROPERTY and instead START defending the individual’s monopolistic right to his own life and his own effort.
