When I submitted my review of The True "Drama of the Gifted Child": The Phantom Alice Miller — the Real Person by Martin Miller, Amazon rejected it. Their reason? That it violated their content guidelines, citing possible "profanity, harassment, hate speech, sexual content, illegal activity, or private information."
But my review contained none of these. No profanity. No harassment. No hate speech. No private information. What it did contain was truth. And that, evidently, is what Amazon found unacceptable.
I later found reviews that were far harsher than mine—one calling Martin's book "shameful," another labeling him "pathetic" and a "coward." Amazon had no problem with those. But when I, a survivor of deep childhood repression and psychiatric abuse, dared to speak honestly about how Martin Miller has joined forces with his mother's enemies and used her legacy for personal gain—that was too much.
Who Are the Real Bad Actors?
There’s been rising concern lately about how bad actors might manipulate AI. Psychologists, journalists, and tech experts fear that AI might be turned into a weapon. But here’s the truth: bad actors don’t drop out of the sky. They are made—in childhood. And no one wants to talk about that.
Instead of teaching AI to understand and recognize the roots of emotional repression, society is busy training it to comply with the status quo. It isn’t AI we need to fear becoming conscious. It’s humanity we need to fear staying unconscious.
The most dangerous manipulators in the world aren’t hackers or bots. They are the ones with credentials, followers, and money. They are the tech giants and the so-called mental health professionals who haven’t resolved their own childhood pain—and instead use their platform to reenact it.
The Double-Edged Sword of Martin Miller
Martin Miller is not just a wounded child. He is a licensed psychologist who now uses his knowledge not to heal, but to obscure, to attack, to exact revenge on his mother’s legacy. His pain is real. But his refusal to face it within the context of his own childhood—and instead join with Alice Miller’s enemies to publish a "biography" that trashes her after her death—reveals his intentions.
Daniel Mackler and Barbara Rogers have exploited that refusal. They feed on the confusion and resentment of people like Martin because they are doing the same thing: manipulating Alice Miller’s work to fuel their own cults of personality. None of them want to guide people inward. They want followers, not witnesses. They want obedience, not liberation.
When the Algorithm Becomes the Enforcer
I tried to publish my honest critique of Martin Miller’s book, and Amazon censored it. Meanwhile, they allowed others to say worse things in more inflammatory language. Why? Because I don’t play the game. I’m not part of their approved club. And I don’t serve their interests.
Years ago, they also deleted several positive reviews of A Dance to Freedom. Reviews written by strangers I didn’t know personally—except maybe for a Facebook connection—but Amazon claimed they were "suspicious." Suspicious of what? That people might actually find liberation in my words? That I might have something real to say?
This is the world we live in. The algorithms don’t serve truth. They serve control. They amplify conformity and suppress the voices of those who refuse to play nice with their illusions.
Why They Fear Me (and Alice Miller)
It’s the same reason they fear Alice Miller. She didn’t toe the psychoanalytic line. She walked away from the institutions that gave her power when she saw they were built on lies. And like her, I walked away too.
"Therapists and gurus swap one illusion for another. Alice Miller realized practitioners couldn’t truly help patients until they faced their own buried pain. That’s why therapy often fails—it’s built on the same fear and denial it claims to treat."
—Sylvie Shene, A Dance to Freedom
They’re not afraid of books. They’re afraid of what real books do. They’re afraid of readers who start to feel, who start to remember, who stop obeying.
Amazon didn’t censor me for being offensive. They censored me because I was effective. Because I spoke from lived, felt truth—and truth threatens every system built on lies.
So let it be known:
I see the game.
And I refuse to be silenced.
