Amazon Selling Suicide Kits to Teens? And Why Did CBS Spike The Story?

Carrie Goldberg has a thread that shocked me this morning. It’s a story about a huge corporation indifferent to life. And a mainstream media that’s so in bed with big business that they spiked a story, even after a number of young people died.

Carrie writes:

Last Friday, CBS cancelled a segment about our clients suing Amazon for selling suicide kits to their now deceased kids. CBS’ cowardice gave me renewed clarity about how urgent this litigation is.
As background, on Feb 3, 2022 we filed a lawsuit in WA State against Amazon on behalf of the Estate of Mikael Scott. In Dec. 2020 Mikael purchased a chemical from Amazon, 98% pure Sodium Nitrite, for $19.99.
It was prime delivered two days later. He died three days after that. There is no household use for pure SN, a chemical that when mixed with water and swigged causes a very painful death within 20 min.
(NOTE: the product we’re suing about should not be mistaken for curing salt which is only 6% pure SN and used to cure meats.). Starting in April 2021, we began urging Amazon to stop 4/
selling suicide kits to households. Unlike other products that could be used for suicide (i.e. knives, ropes), there is no other use for Sodium Nitrite at this level of purity outside the laboratory. And Amazon was bundling SN with other products to basically create a suicide kit — Amazon recommends that purchasers also buy Tagamet to avoid vomiting up the poison, a personal use scale to measure the proper quantity, and the Amazon Edition of the Peaceful Pill Handbook, a suicide manual with an entire chapter on how to die by SN.
Amazon also routinely removed 1-star reviews from grieving family members trying to warn about the dangers. Amazon’s own search engine helped guide people to the product through autofills. 7/
At the time, we were also taking action with Congress and DOJ and the press to stop the pro-suicide forum that directs people to buy this product from Amazon.

Amazon’s lawyers from Perkins told us Amazon would continue to sell SN because they can’t be held liable if somebody uses one of their products for suicide.

NOTE: it is against the law in our country to aid or assist in another person’s suicide. In 11 states, under exceedingly narrow and legislated circumstances, physicians are allowed to carefully facilitate the death of a proven terminally ill patient. However, contrary to what Amazon may think, there is no exception in the law that allows for corporate-assisted suicide.

The day we got the letter from Amazon’s attorney defending their right to continue to sell this product was a turning point in my life. At the same time, my partner in this case and I realized this: Amazon is a serial killer.

You can read the rest of this story at Carrie Goldberg’s site. CBS dove deep into this story but then spiked it at the last minute. Why? I don’t know. Could it be that CBS and Amazon are in business together for their streaming services?

And where are the politicians on this issue? Are they too afraid of Amazon?

It’s no surprise that big business doesn’t care about people. But it seems like the guardrails to our society have all disappeared. There are no checks on the powerful anymore. Big Business can sell suicide kits to teens. Big Pharma can sell vaccines without any long term testing. And what do we hear? Nothing.

Confused teens get mutilated by large hospitals in search of woke praise and money? And what happens? Big Tech cancels you for pointing it out.

Stand up for the unborn and you’ll see your home raided by the FBI and DOJ.

If you care about people and speak up, you’re cancelled, banned, or imprisoned. That’s where we are now. It’s a pretty shocking turn of events but the escalation of their thuggery advances. They are revealing themselves now. That worries me. That means they believe that their heel is so firmly planted on our necks that they no longer have to hide what they’re doing.

That’s where we are.

Keep speaking up though. Keep speaking out. Because we are called to speak truth, not meekly swim along with our cultural tides.

As JRR Tolkien wrote in Lord of the Rings:

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
