My book ‘Stealth Invasion’ has just been banned by Amazon

I had been receiving emails over the last week or so asking me why my book, Stealth Invasion, is no longer available on Amazon.

I brushed them off at first, but the emails kept trickling in.

So this morning I picked up the phone and called the publisher, Post Hill Press, and left a message. Within a couple of hours the president of Post Hill called me back, very apologetically, and told me he had been meaning to call me but hadn’t gotten around to it yet. He said the strangest thing had happened. For the first time in the company’s 10 years of selling books on Amazon, it had two of its titles flagged and banned as “hate speech.”

One of those two books was mine. Amazon did not inform my publisher of the book banning nor did they give a reason, they just unilaterally banned it. No appeals process. No nothing. It was only after the publisher contacted them that they were given an explanation and then that explanation was passed on to me. That’s how Big Tech operates. They answer to no one. And if you don’t like it, tough. Welcome to 1984.

Stealth Invasion was a five-star reviewed book on Amazon with a total of more than 135 reviews. Of all those certified readers who took the time to review the book, there were only three who did not give it the highest rating of five stars, something that’s difficult to achieve.

When contacted and asked what was going on, here is what Amazon told my publisher about my book, Stealth Invasion.

Thanks for your continued patience while we looked into this further.

Our content Review team re-reviewed the title “Stealth Invasion” and
determined that it includes content against our Content Guidelines. The
primary purpose is to paint Muslim immigration to the US and Europe as treacherous, violent and as a weapon used by the Muslim Brotherhood to change the US from inside.

For this reason, the team is upholding their decision.

Thank you,

My guess is that what happened is someone or some group with clout, and perhaps sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood and its mission, contacted Amazon to complain about Stealth Invasion. Why else would Amazon ban a book they’ve had available on their site for six years, suddenly considering it in violation of their guidelines and pull it? If it was hate speech now why wasn’t it hate speech from 2017 through the end of 2022 and into early 2023?

The one-sentence descriptor Amazon gives for my book is actually quite accurate. Muslim immigration into the U.S. and Europe has become treacherous, it has resulted in violent attacks on Americans, and it is used as a weapon by the Muslim Brotherhood to change the U.S. from the inside. These three themes are all meticulously documented and footnoted in the book, all from open-source records like newspapers and websites and government documents that are available to everyone. For me to gather that data and present it in book form is now suddenly regarded as “hate speech.”

The one silver lining is that the book is still available at Barnes and Noble, and BarnesAndNoble.com. So if any of you still haven’t ordered a copy and want to find out what the technocrats at Amazon think is so dangerous for you to know, skip on over to Barnes and Noble and pick up a copy while you still can. The research I present in this book is just as relevant today as when it was first published in 2017, and all of the trends explored in the book have only gotten worse since the advent of the Biden administration.

The great author and historian Robert Spencer wrote a very insightful article about this book banning.

Here’s some of what Spencer had to say:

And that’s why their banning of Stealth Invasion is so dangerous. Amazon has just banned a book that calls for sane immigration controls, as opposed to the Biden regime’s border free-for-all. Now that this precedent has been established, what will be next? Will Amazon start banning books that call for lower taxes, smaller government, sound fiscal policies, and the like? Will books opposing the Left’s climate change and gender fantasies also be banned? (Oh, wait, that’s already happening, although Amazon reversed the ban on Abigail Shreier’s exposure of the transgender madness, Irreversible Damage, after an outcry.)

When there is only one bookstore, it can limit your access to any point of view that it dislikes. We are perilously close to that situation in America now. Strike a blow for freedom: go to your local independent bookstore, if you’re lucky enough to live near one, and order a copy of Stealth Invasion. If you aren’t near one, order it from Barnes & Noble. Even if the immigration issue and the jihad threat are of no interest to you, your favorite book could be banned next.

Thanks for all your support over the years, dear readers. I love you all and do not take a single one of you for granted who have read my book, read my articles, commented on and shared the articles, even donated to this site to support me in my full-time writing gig. I am beyond grateful. God bless. – Leo Hohmann

U.S. proxy war with Russia has nothing to do with Ukraine’s freedom and everything to do with regime change in Moscow

Washington is nearing the point of no return in its drive to create a globalized net-zero, carbon-free slave state

I am going to start off by saying, I’m not at all interested in what happens with the drama surrounding Donald Trump.

Trump was built for this. He seems to thrive on it. But don’t take the bait.

Instead of being drawn into this distraction, I am laser focused on what matters: Preparing for the collapsing U.S. banking system, the collapsing U.S. dollar, the continued march toward World War III and the coming persecution of all those who refuse to join the globalists’ technetronic beast system built on digital currency and digital IDs.

War sometimes makes strange bedfellows.

I recently found myself in the awkward position of agreeing with a University of Chicago professor. It’s not often I agree with a University of Chicago professor, nor would he agree with much that I have to say.

I don’t know anything about his background, but if Professor John Mearsheimer read my recent Substack posts about the U.S.-Russia proxy war in Ukraine, he would likely find more than a little common ground.

Listen to what Mearsheimer says in the below video:

Mearsheimer is spot on in his analysis. I would only add one caveat. Ukraine will not be the only loser in this war. The United States of America will also have its comeuppance. Everyone around the world will finally see that the emperor has no clothes. That the entity in Washington people refer to as the federal government had no problem sacrificing an entire nation, Ukraine, all for its self-centered scheme of trying to deal a black eye to an old foe, Russia.

There are two rules of warfare: All wars are fought over resources. And all wars begin as economic wars before they escalate into shooting wars.

The war between Russia/China and the U.S./NATO is nearing the point where it will shift from economic to kinetic.

What is the goal of Western globalists in trying to take down Russia? It’s becoming more clear by the day that their goal is not to protect Ukraine from the Russian boogieman because if that was really their concern, there were ways to accomplish that diplomatically that were never even tried.

But what did they do? They flooded Ukraine with weapons, they waged the most intense form of economic warfare on Russia that the world has ever seen, they have declared Putin a war criminal, and when all of this backfires they will ultimately have to put American lives on the line if they really want to defeat Putin. Ukrainians are excellent fighters but they simply do not have enough manpower to sustain a continued artillery war with Russia.
For an update on the proxy war, Col. Douglas MacGregor breaks it down in easy to understand terms below. It’s the best 20 minutes of time you will invest all week by listening to him.

The U.S. goal is regime change in Russia and has been from the start. That will end in utter failure unless the U.S. plunges all the way into this war which, as the professor says, is most likely not going to happen although I wouldn’t rule it out.

Here is my theory as to why the U.S. and the West picked up that stick, as described by Professor Mearsheimer, and “poked the bear in the eye.”

The regime in Washington thought it could bring down Putin by waging economic war against his country with the most severe sanctions ever levied against a nation in history. They thought they could cut off Putin’s revenues by applying crippling sanctions and sabotaging his Nord Stream natural-gas pipeline into Europe. At the same time, they found a hireling in Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, who willingly offered up his people like sheep to a slaughter by taking on the formidable Russian military.

But now both of those strategies are failing.

The Russia economy contracted less than 3 percent in 2022 and is forecast to actually grow a little in 2023. The sanctions have not only failed but failed miserably, to the point of backfiring. Now it’s the U.S. economy that’s teetering on collapse, with mounting bank failures threatening to unleash a crap storm of economic misery. There’s no way the American government can continue to throw money at Ukraine while putting up hundreds of billions as a backstop to failing banks. Something has to give.

The U.S. has $32 trillion in debt, which has surpassed 100 percent of its gross domestic product and is forecast to reach as high as 120 percent of GDP next year, something no nation can survive.

Russia’s debt to GDP ratio is a paltry 16 percent, according to the IMF, plus it has China as an economic backstop.

With such low debt, Russia was able to not only weather the initial storm of the Western sanctions, but to then actually turn the tables and use the sanctions to its advantage through skillful diplomacy with China, India, Iran, Saudi Arabia and others. They now sell enough oil and gas to China and India to make up for what’s not being sold to Europe.

In the meantime, Russia’s factories have gone to a fulltime war footing and are running wide open making weapons and munitions, while the West is struggling to keep Ukraine supplied with weapons and munitions. We simply don’t have the industrial capacity anymore, since we outsourced that capacity years ago to Mexico, China and the Far East.

So the U.S.’s attempt at economic war against Russia is shaping up to be an epic fail.

As that becomes increasingly obvious to even the dodo brains in Washington, they will find themselves at a crossroads with a set of choices, both of which are fraught with risks.

Option number one: Give Putin what he wanted all along, which is control over the Russian-speaking portions of eastern Ukraine and a guarantee that Ukraine will not be armed by the West nor encouraged to join the Western alliance, NATO. The risk here is that the U.S. looks weak and more of its allies peel off and join the BRICS nations, the petro dollar collapses and the U.S. becomes a second-rate power.

Option number two: Go all in to defeat Putin militarily in Ukraine by doing whatever it takes, up to and including the insertion of U.S. troops and air power. This will almost certainly lead to China exploiting the U.S. inability to fight a two-front war by invading Taiwan, while Iran may do the same and attack Israel. Nuclear war is the ultimate risk in this option.

Either choice is likely to leave the U.S. exposed as economically and militarily much weaker than most nations thought possible.

The U.S. has already lost the confidence of many formerly friendly nations and if it shows weakness against Putin, the rest of them may be tempted to bail. Even NATO itself could burst apart at the seams.

So, they may do the unthinkable and actually put U.S. boots on the ground, or at least offer air cover to the Ukrainians with U.S. warplanes.

This all leads to the trillion dollar question: Why is the U.S. and NATO so intent on driving Putin to his demise?

Remember our first rule of warfare – that all wars are fought over resources – and I think you have your answer.

Western globalists envision a technocratic one-world system where everyone is monitored and scored on their carbon footprint, their use of resources.

In order to do that, they must remove from the market all sources of reliable, cheap energy, which boils down to coal, oil and gas.

Since taking over Russia from the feckless Boris Yeltsin, Mr. Putin has embarked on a rebuilding effort aimed at restoring Russian dominance over its immediate neighborhood but the U.S. grudge with Putin is even bigger than that.

The U.S. and European powers have committed to a global plan that requires all nations to transition from oil/coal/gas as the foundation of their economies to a so-called “net zero” economy where no nation is allowed to thrive on cheap fossil fuels, other than of course China, to which they’ve outsourced our industrial base. In order to be successful, the misery must be spread around the globe. Why do you think U.S. relations have also soured with Saudi Arabia? It’s because the Saudis, like Putin, still want to sell their only real resource, oil, at a price of their choosing.

Putin wants to continue selling cheap oil and gas to Europe and China. That’s a direct threat to Western hegemony and the petro dollar, because how does the U.S. and its allies compete with cheap oil and gas when they’re relying on more expensive and less reliable wind and solar? If that’s allowed the petro dollar goes caput.

In short, the globalists’ Great Reset and the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals can’t be fully implemented as long as Putin is out there selling Russia’s vast natural resources to whomever Putin wishes at whatever prices Putin wants to charge.

So keep your eyes off the drama queen Trump, who will continue to be a domestic lightning rod for the dividing and conquering of America, and a convenient source of distraction that the globalists use to keep us passive and ignorant as to what is really going on. They could have lodged these silly charges against Trump at any time, but ask yourself, why did they wait till now?

Stay focused instead on Washington’s next chess move to counter Putin’s so-far successful strategy to put a fly in the ointment of the New World Order sustainable development scam, which if successful will result in you owning nothing and learning to like it. You will be forced to make your next car an electric vehicle that you will be “allowed” to charge only at certain times determined by the technocrats who control the increasingly limited power grid, which they envision being powered less and less by cheap, reliable “fossil fuels” and more by expensive, unreliable wind and solar.

Even with the current amount of fossil fuels, there is not enough capacity to power everyone’s electric cars. Imagine if all the gas cars were to be phased out over the next 10 years like the globalists want, and your only choice was an electric car that you can only plug in a limited number of times per month. You lose your freedom of movement. The same thing goes with their plan to phase out gas stoves and appliances. Everyone will be dependent on the increasingly weakened electric grid. Most of us would be relegated to a 19th century lifestyle in the country, or forced into stack-and-pack 15-minute cities where we can catch the subway and walk or ride a bike to everything we need, with the government’s watchful eye on us 24/7.

This is what’s at stake. I’m not saying Putin is some paragon of Christian virtue. He is not. What I am saying is, this war is being fought over the future of global economics. When the dust settles, those economics will reach down and touch every one of us and determine our lifestyle. And it’s through economics that the globalists intend to make us their slaves. That’s why David Rockefeller, Zbigniew Brzezinski and Henry Kissinger initially referred to their new world order as a “new international economic order,” because they knew that economics drives politics, not the other way around.

Keep preparing – mentally, physically and spiritually. God is watching. He will expose all the lies in due time.

CDC Warns of Dangerous Fungal Infection Spreading Through US at ‘Alarming Rate’

CDC Warns of Dangerous Fungal Infection Spreading Through US at ‘Alarming Rate’

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is warning of an increasingly drug-resistant emerging fungus that the health agency says presents a “serious global health threat.”

Candida auris is a rare fungal disease that is easily spread through contact with contaminated surfaces or from person-to-person and can cause severe illness in hospitalized patients and those with weakened immune systems, according to health officials.

In some rare cases, the yeast can enter the bloodstream of patients and spread throughout the body, causing serious invasive candidiasis infections, which can affect the blood, heart, brain, eyes, bones, and other parts of the body and can prove fatal.

Data from a limited number of patents shows that 30 to 60 percent of people diagnosed with the fungal disease have died. However, healthy people typically do not get sick from the fungal disease.

The CDC said it is concerned about Candida auris for three main reasons: it is often multidrug-resistant, it is hard to identify using standard laboratory methods, and it has rapidly caused outbreaks in health care settings.

Additionally, individuals who have been hospitalized in health care facilities for long periods of time—especially those who have breathing tubes, feeding tubes, and central venous catheters going into their bodies—appear to be at the highest risk of contracting Candida auris.

Other risk factors are generally similar to risk factors for other types of Candida infections and include recent surgery, diabetes, and recent use of antibiotics or antifungal medications, initial data shows.

CDC Data Shows Rise in Cases

Infections of Candida auris, also referred to as C. auris, have been found in patients of all ages, from preterm infants to the elderly, health officials say.

According to CDC data, the drug-resistant fungus, which was first detected in the United States in 2016, has been spreading “at an alarming rate” among hospitalized patients in recent years, with clinical cases of the fungus nearly doubling in 2021 and continuing to rise in 2022.

There were at least 2,377 confirmed clinical cases of Candida auris in the United States in 2022, according to CDC statistics, up from 1,474 cases in 2021 and 757 cases in 2020.

Data shows the fungal disease is now present in more than half of U.S. states.

Separate data from the CDC published in the Annals of Internal Medicine on March 20 also found that screening cases—in which the fungus is detected but is not causing infection—tripled from 2020 to 2021, from 1,310 to 4,041 cases.

The CDC has said it is concerned with the tripling in 2021 of the number of cases that were resistant to echinocandins, antifungal drugs that are typically the first line of treatment for Candida auris.

CDC officials said in a press release that the number of Candida auris cases may have risen for multiple reasons, including poor general infection prevention and control practices in health care facilities, although enhanced efforts to detect cases may have also contributed to the rise.

“The timing of this increase and findings from public health investigations suggest C. auris spread may have worsened due to strain on healthcare and public health systems during the COVID-19 pandemic,” CDC officials added.

Risk to General Population Remains Low

“The rapid rise and geographic spread of cases is concerning and emphasizes the need for continued surveillance, expanded lab capacity, quicker diagnostic tests, and adherence to proven infection prevention and control,” said CDC epidemiologist Dr. Meghan Lyman, lead author of the paper.

Candida auris was first identified in 2009 in Japan, although retrospective reviews found that the earliest strain of the disease appeared in 1996 in South Korea.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), which has included Candida auris on its “fungal priority pathogens list” of life-threatening fungi, individuals most at risk of serious invasive candidiasis infections include those with cancer, HIV/AIDS, organ transplants, chronic respiratory disease, and post-primary tuberculosis infection.

“Emerging evidence indicates that the incidence and geographic range of fungal diseases are both expanding worldwide due to global warming and the increase of international travel and trade,” the WHO said in an October press release.

The CDC says screening for Candida auris can help protect people at increased risk of serious infection.

Despite concerns from the CDC and WHO over the rise in cases and resistance to echinocandins, Dr. Ashley Lipps, an infectious diseases physician at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center told Healthline that the majority of cases are still treatable with the antifungal medications.

“If someone has an infection with C. auris, the fungus will need to be sent to the lab for susceptibility testing to determine which antifungal medication will work best to treat it,” Lipps said. “The risk to the general population remains very low.” source

“For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.  All these are the beginning of sorrows” (Matthew 24: 7-8).

Keep your eyes on Jesus.

THE BANKING CRISIS: What’s Going on? ALEX NEWMAN Interviewed on VCY America (PODCAST)

The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank is said to be the second largest bank collapse in U.S. history.  There were lines of customers waiting to withdraw from their accounts.  It looked like a run on the bank until President Biden, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and National Economic Council Director Lael Brainerd stepped in to avert a crisis similar to that of 2008. 

Alex Newman returned to Crosstalk to bring his analysis to this issue.  Alex is an award-winning international freelance journalist, author, researcher, educator and consultant.  He is senior editor for The New American.  He is author of Crimes of the Educators and Deep State: The Invisible Government Behind the Scenes.  He is founder of Liberty Sentinel.

What brought the collapse about?  The approximate cause is that they were sitting on a very large number of U.S. bonds.  So when interest rates rise, long-term U.S. treasury bonds decline in value.  In other words, the bank was sitting on large, unrealized losses on the bonds.  When depositors began trying to pull out their money, they had to sell some of the bonds and they ended up realizing some of those loses and at that point it became obvious there wasn’t going to be enough money to cover the deposits.

Alex believes that at its core, our monetary system is fundamentally unsustainable and must lead to destruction.  In fact, he contends that what we’re seeing now is exactly what America saw in the run-up to the Great Depression.  You’ll see this all come together as he provides the history behind the Great Depression, the creation of the Federal Reserve, the role of the FDIC, and the FedNow Service.

Alex also presents his views concerning the forces leading us toward a multi-polar world order and the message that will be sent to American citizens and policymakers should former President Trump be arrested.

Crosstalk listeners were given their opportunity to respond as well.
