From The Ministry of Truth
Dear HAC:
Supposedly it's because of a
"copyright issue."

"To the future or to the past, to a time when thought is free...to a time when truth exists, and what is done cannot be undone...From the age of uniformity, from the age of solitude, from the age of Big Brother, from the age of doublethink--greetings!" - George Orwell, 1984

The Ghost of Jacob Marley?
My thanks to whoever brought this to HAC's attention. Another article worth checking out below.
Alright, so a few things. The artile refers to people calling the media facist when they are communist. They obviously, like the rest of Amurrican's know the diffrence. Nonetheless, they're upset and thats a good sign of things to come. The article also makes a good point, one which I would have made either way and that being that you should make copies of whatever you download. Creepy that they can take it away, let alone the fact that its against policy. Amazon shouldn't only not have done this but they should hve given future credit for the inconvience of the matter. They should hve also re distributed copies to the devices of the people who purchased the kindle book of 1984.
Here's another article to look at.

No video that I can see. The fact is it could be used to convict this guy for defending himself on his own property. You'd think that Wisconsin waws would protect him but no, they're still trying to persecute this guy because he's white and the nigger who tried to steal guns and other property from this guys home is black.
Hopefuly it turns out in his favor.

You don't suppose that white people finally starting to wake up just a little? Maybe getting ready to rise? Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it too but this sort of thing makes my heart beat faster. Maybe... just maybe... at the last moment... things will happen...
I"m surprised this book was even in the curriculum when I was in high school ('04-08). I guess it's one of those things that was just kind of there to mock you in your face.
Same with Fahrenheit 451.
