“EBay scraps ‘canceled’ Dr. Seuss books from site—eBay is barring users from reselling the six Dr. Seuss books that will no longer be printed due to their “racist” imagery…eBay is currently sweeping our marketplace to remove these items,” an eBay spokeswoman told the WSJ,” the New York Post reported this week.
The Dr. Seuss books violate eBay’s "offensive material policy," you see. "Listings that promote or glorify hatred, violence, or discrimination aren't allowed," eBay’s automated email explains.
Now feast your eyes on these eBay products, a total of 5400 items promoting Che Guevara, whose lifelong obsession was the destruction of the nation that made eBay founder (French-born) Pierre Omigyar a multi-billionaire!
And speaking of “hatred”:
“Hatred is the central element of our struggle!... Hatred that is intransigent….Hatred so violent that it propels a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him violent and cold- blooded killing machine!” (Thus spaketh the icon of flower-children.)
And speaking of violence:
“We reject any peaceful approach. Violence is inevitable. To establish Socialism rivers of blood must flow. The victory of Socialism is well worth millions of atomic victims!” (Thus spaketh the leftish idol promoted by eBay to the tune of almost 5,500 items.)
And speaking of discrimination:
“The Negro is indolent and spends his money on frivolities and drink; the European is forward-looking, organized and intelligent…The Negro has maintained his racial purity by his well known habit of avoiding baths.” That’s from Che Guevara’s vey diaries, which—needless to add—eBay proudly merchants.
"‘N**ger!’ taunted my jailers between tortures,” recalled the world’s longest suffering black political prisoner to this writer. "‘We pulled you down from the trees and cut off your tail!’ laughed my torturers. For months I was naked in a 6 x 4 foot cell. That's four feet high, so you couldn't stand. But I felt a great freedom inside myself. I refused to commit spiritual suicide.”
That wasn’t Nelson Mandela. No, the prisoner was a black Cuban named Eusebio Peñalver, whose incarceration and torture at the hands of the regime eBay merchants in 5,400 items stretched to 29 years, surpassing Nelson Mandela's record in time behind bars and probably quintupling the horrors suffered by Mandela in his (relative to Cuba’s) country-club prisons. In fact the emblem (Che Guevara) that eBay proudly merchants represents the regime that jailed and tortured the most and longest suffering black political prisoners in the history of the Western hemisphere—many more than were jailed for political offenses by Apartheid South Africa. <
Che Guevara’s hate-obsession was actually the U.S. (again, the nation that made eBay’s founder a multi-billionaire). He murdered Cubans because of their supposed affiliation with the U.S. ("U.S.-backed" Batista, the CIA, etc.) So as a public service to eBay shoppers of other than Cuban-American heritage, here are more ravings from the racist, Stalinist mass-murderer whose writings and visage eBay has no objection to promoting:
*“The U.S. is the great enemy of mankind!”
*“The U.S. is a carnivorous animal feeding on the helpless!”
*“Against those hyenas there is no option but extermination!”
*“We will bring the war to the imperialist enemies’ (Americans) very home, to his places of work and recreation. The imperialist enemy (Americans) must feel like a hunted animal wherever he moves. Thus we’ll destroy him!”
*“We must keep our hatred (against the U.S.) alive and fan it to paroxysm!”
*“The U.S. is the perpetrator of exploitation and oppression against all the peoples of the world!”
“If the nuclear missiles had remained (in Cuba) we would have fired them against the heart of the U.S. including New York City. The victory of socialism is well worth millions of atomic victims."
According to the Cuba Archive, the regime co-founded by Che Guevara – with firing squads, forced-labor camps, torture and drownings at sea – has caused an estimated 102,000 deaths, mostly Cuban of course. But whenever they could get their hands on an American “hyena” they really indulged. To wit:
Castro and Che’s blood-lust against Americans was such that they sent their torturers thousands of miles to get their hands on (defenseless) ones. According to the book Honor Bound, the tortures of U.S. POWs by Castro’s agents were “the worst sieges of torture any American withstood in Hanoi.”
Testimony during congressional hearings titled, "The Cuban Torture Program; Torture of American Prisoners by Cuban Agents" held on November 1999 provide some of the harrowing details.
For their experiment in torture the Castroites chose 20 American POWs. One died: Lieutenant Colonel Earl Cobeil, an Air Force F-105 pilot. His death came slowly, in agonizing stages, under torture. Upon learning his Castroite Cuban affiliation, the American POWs nicknamed Cobeil's Cuban torturer, "Fidel."
"The difference between the Vietnamese and "Fidel (the nickname for the Castroite torturer) was that once the Vietnamese got what they wanted they let up, at least for a while,” testified fellow POW Captain Ray Vohden USN. “Not so with the Cubans. Earl Cobeil had resisted 'Fidel' to the maximum. I heard the thud of the belt falling on Cobeil's body again and again, as Fidel screamed "you son of a beech! I will show you! Kneel down!—KNEEL DOWN!” The Cubans unmercifully beat a mentally defenseless, sick American naval pilot to death."
"Earl Cobeil was a complete physical disaster when we saw him," testified another fellow POW, Col. Jack Bomar. "He had been tortured for days and days and days. His hands were almost severed from the manacles. He had bamboo in his shins. All kinds of welts up and down all over; his face was bloody. Then 'Fidel' began to beat him with a fan belt.”
Today the world's largest Che mural (the same image eBay proudly merchants in 5,400 different forms) adorns Cuba's Ministry of the Interior, the headquarters for the torture-chambers of Cuba's KGB- trained secret police. Nothing could be more fitting.
Alas, eBay, a corrective for all this “ignorance” does exist.
Seuss sells, Che smells, Ebay tells
For DemocRATS needing a copy of their Little Red Book.
Ebay didn’t want the publicity from the high prices that the Dr. Seuss books were selling for. Ebay lets any user search past sales. Amazon doesn’t, obviously.
Mein Kampf also still available.
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1311&_nkw=mein+kampf&_sacat=0
Actually,I've just had an idea. I live in an area that is served by a public library consortium that,collectively,has just just about every book ever printed in English in their collection. Their website is searchable by title,author,keyword,etc.
I'm gonna check them out now to see if any of the titles in question are still available.
It’s all a deliberate and calculated distraction to change the subject from stolen elections and an illegitimate government.
I only checked that title...can't be sure what I'd find in a search for the other titles. But Cambridge is in Massachusetts...and it's the home of Harvard *and* MIT. To the typical resident of Cambridge Che is a right wing reactionary.
But I do expect that title,and any other that's still available in the network,to disappear soon. After all,Princess Liawatha,our *senior* Senator,will surely demand it.
You couldn’t pay me Trillion dollars to read that book. I never understand why so many are fascinated by that book.
There are also at least 16 copies on sale at eBay. There are 39 copies of And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street. Yesterday it was 520. It looks like eBay backed off.
And I closed my ebay account after 15+ years.
Political correctness, wokeness and the entire liberal agenda is killing this country.
however, one can buy lots of needed stuff on ebay easily and quickly
Virtue signaling closing an ebay account is a meaningless jesture
Opposition research?
It’s a meaningless gesture to the company not to the person closing the account... which hasn’t been used in a few years anyway.
I keep reading that eBay removed the Seuss listings, but they haven’t. You can buy all of the discontinued books on Ebay, if you have the money. Here’s just two examples:
This could be a good business opportunity. Sell them along with Unabridged version of Huckleberry Finn, old Amos N Andy TV shoes, etc. Needs a catchy name though
Maybe what this country needs is a well funded conservative organization that examines what these big companies are supporting and boycott whatever products or services they provide.
It’s getting serious. The Bible predicts that people won’t be able to buy or sell unless they have the “mark of the Beast.” Maybe being communist is a part of the mark.
