'Mein Kampf' a Best Seller on Kindle Store?
Adolf Hitler's 'Mein Kampf' is, for both noble and despicable reasons, one of the most read books in history. Since its original publication after Hitler's release from jail in 1924, it has been available in several editions. When he was at the height of his power as Führer, there was a "people's edition," a "wedding edition" (given as a gift to all newlyweds), and the "Tornister-Ausgabe," which was a compact version intended for soldiers on the front line. It has been translated to dozens of languages, bound in leather, handed out for free in some countries, and outlawed in others. So it was only a matter of time before 'Mein Kampf' made its way into electronic form.
There's not one, but two versions of 'Mein Kampf' available in Amazon's Kindle store. Both are dirt cheap (though not free), but one version undercut the other by two cents and recently climbed its way to the top of the legal thriller best-seller list for the price of $1.58.
The Führer's reign at the top didn't last very long, however. Only minutes after CNET grabbed the screen shot above, it was gone. [From: CNET]

Mein Kampf Still Alive
The essence of Hitler's war is still being fought today in our times. There are scientists that carry on his work in perfecting the human race. They continue overthrowing ethics, morality, humanity and all good when it pertains to human dignity, we have once again reached a point in our history, where we must rise up and meet the challenges that confronts us with evil such as this. What is this evil that I speak of ? It is taking a man, changing his life forever to accomplish goals that further scientific research but removes much more from mankind than it gives. Do we really need to have access all the time to see, hear or know what a person is doing, at what cost is our privacy worth losing to others power struggles from within. Their constant testing of the micro-communication system, the radar sensors, the electronic shocking device, the cooling sysytem or the optical reviewing system and global positioning system, not to mention the behavioral studies or learning capacity of such a highly self contained human experiment test subject. I ask once again, when will we rise up and say, enough is enough!

Mein Kamph is selling like hot cakes because it is the map the Messiah is using to turn America into Amerika. Read your history of the Nazi "Empire" and you can't help but notice Barry is using the same tactics to reach the same objectives.
