Masking the Truth vs. the Fact Censors

Playing with one hand behind your back

This will be brief, not my normal lengthy rant.

My new book, Masking the Truth: How COVID-19 Destroyed Civil Liberties and Shut Down the World, has gotten off to a roaring start. Even though we held it back from Amazon and other places for a few weeks, in an attempt to drive buyers to the publisher, nevertheless its Amazon ranking is strong and it’s earned an orange “#1 seller” bar.

That’s very gratifying, and surprising, given that so many people have told me they bought the book through the publisher. I’ve been doing the talk show circuit on the platforms that will have me. David Knight, SGT Report, Sam Tripoli, Sarah Westall, Cindy Sheehan, and many others. You can help by requesting that some of the other shows with big audiences- Stew Peters, Flyover Conservatives, Jimmy Dore, Fearless with Jason Whitlock, Tim Dillon (who according to my friend Chris Graves loved Hidden History), Jesse Watters and Laura Ingraham at Fox, and Tucker Carlson on his new Twitter show, have me on. There are many others who should be interested in the book. This should be the book the alternative media has been waiting for.

I think Masking the Truth has a real chance to catch fire, if the word can get out to enough people. No other book has the whole story in one place. From the very beginning. The Greatest Psyop in the History of the World. Amazon ratings and/or reviews are crucial here. Most people are followers. If they see a book with lots of numbers at the top, as well as a good sales ranking, they are far more likely to be interested in it. People love popularity. And winners. You can help make the book a winner by rating it everywhere you can. Goodreads is an important site. Please add and rate it there. Recommend it to your local public library. And your college library.

I have no paid publicist. I have no “people.” Am I sounding like Alex Jones? But I have no products to sell, except for my writings, and podcast. And all of that is free except for the books. As I’ve mentioned before, circumstances force me to use Substack for promotion. I can no longer rely on Facebook or Twitter, because of the shadow ban. I feel as comfortable as someone can while requesting a favor, because everyone who is reading this seemingly appreciates my work. Substack is the only platform that is allowing me to grow. And, of course, it remains the internet’s foremost platform for free speech.

Many people have told me that Google seems to be burying search inquiries about my book. I know that it isn’t on Google Books yet, which is strange. It also isn’t in World Cat, where all public library catalogs are. That’s never happened to any of my other books. I know it will be hard getting it into libraries, but it can be done. Some libraries stock controversial titles. It’s unlikely that Barnes & Noble or any of the other dwindling number of brick and mortar stores would stock it. I’m having to rely on word of mouth, the old fashioned method of readers telling others about it.

YouTube has suspended me again, for a week, for violating their “medical misinformation” policy. Could they sound any more Orwellian? At any rate, I won’t be able to live stream there for at least a week. Most people seem to catch the live show on YouTube, so I wanted to mention that here. Since I’m shadow banned on both Facebook and Twitter, that makes it hard to share information like this. But “I Protest” will be live streaming Fridays from 5-7 pm eastern on my Facebook and Twitter pages, as well as Rokfin. Jeff Rense reruns all my shows on his network, and now they are also available at Alex Jones’s huge banned.video.

Thanks to all of you who bought the book, and special thanks to those of you who bought extra copies to hand out to others. Gard Goldsmith bought extras for his family, and is giving out a few copies to listeners on his show. One person told me he donated some copies to a mobile library. I can never express my gratitude for those who support my work. If I didn’t hear such kind words from so many of you, I would find it hard to keep writing and talking, in the face of such overwhelming odds against us. You give me hope and inspiration. I write for myself, because all writers have to love their own work. But rest assured I also write for each and every one of you.
