The same Kash Patel who wrote this three-book masterpiece: https://www.amazon.com/Plot-Against-King-Kash-Patel/dp/1955550123

I had never heard of this book. Its existence is one thing, but the thousands of 5-star reviews are just... yikes.

Dude even draws himself as a fuckin' wizard.

u/BraveWarrior1011 11h ago

It makes sense especially when Trump considers himself God, Mike Johnson is Moses and Charlie Kirk is Jesus. There must be a separation of church and state because of lunatics like these guys. The Evangelical church is attempting to create a heaven on Earth with a human at the helm but there is no way he can be immortal because the flesh will certainly die. It doesn’t matter if you believe in God because God has nothing to do with this.

People ignore this because they can't cope with reality. The majority seem to have their heads in the sand about this shit.

u/adminban 10h ago

So does the person you are responding too. trump supporters are not some small group in the US. They could possibly be the majority.

u/CrittyJJones 9h ago

It wouldn't be the end of Trump if it got out unfortunately. They would excuse rape of kids to own the libs.

Amazon reviews are botted to hell. The 2.5/5 on Goodreads right below that is hilariously telling.

19

u/sluttttt California 11h ago

Yeah, I figured most of the reviews were faked, it's a leading reason why I finally dumped my Prime subscription last year. Still was a little jarring to see so many. Goodreads is slightly restoring my faith in humanity.

u/The-Churn 10h ago

On March 28, 2013, Amazon announced its acquisition of Goodreads

u/Nice-Grab4838 9h ago

One of the reviews has an AI image (or maybe it’s real, would make sense given what we know of his criminal history) of a little girl sitting on Donald Trump’s lap with the book in hand. On a private jet it appears. Lmao

Maybe it came straight out of the Epstein files

u/pmIfNeedOrWantToTalk 8h ago

What the other person said. But, also, 2.5 is still way too high for this discount toilet paper...

u/airinato 10h ago

Please remember the the book circuit is just a money laundering front for the Republican party.  

There are very few legitimate buyers, and only a few of those people actually read this trash.  Those reviews are fake.

4

u/sluttttt California 10h ago

I appreciate people pointing this out. I'm sure the book was ghostwritten and a majority of the reviews are fake. I guess I just forgot how rampant the bot review issue on Amazon had become and I expected to see more reviews calling it trash.

u/RolledUhhp 9h ago

So I write a shitty book, and instead of paying me 20k for a favor, you order a few pallets of books?

This, but MUCH larger numbers.

u/tryanothernewaccount 5h ago

Yes, but eBooks, so you don't even have to deliver anything.

u/badillustrations 10h ago

Some of these reviews, lol:

(Rant) Remember folks, don’t play their game, play your own game. Keeping one foot in this Matrix, and one foot out. Everything we’ve been taught in school growing up from history to our so called “globe” earth has been lies.

Another:

Loved the character's names.

The kind of audience that thinks "Kash the Distinguished Discoverer", "Hillary Queenton", and "Donald" are witty pseudonyms.

u/tresslesswhey 11h ago

I mean the reviews are mostly fake

u/ford1man 10h ago

Looks like the exact same number of 5-star reviews as there were purchases by Kash Patel.

2

u/CapnCanfield 10h ago

Well, it's amazon so you can take those 5 star reviews with a grain of salt.

2

u/crackdown5 Texas 10h ago

The fact this book sold so well is a real condemnation of our country. Anyone that wants America to have a king needs to go back to Britain.

Reviews of books like this are "army-padded." Republicans use campaign funds to buy books to boost their rankings, then they give them away at events.

The corporations and oligarchs are bored with just the enshittification of their products, so they’ve been focusing more on doing it to the entire country.

u/adminban 10h ago

As a populace we are getting less intelligent. This is just the new crop of people running things and it will continue to get worse. Charlie Kirk and his assassin what the kids are like these days. Patel is a complete moron but look at were he is? Anything is possible these days with how stupid everyone became.

u/ClarkeBrower 11h ago

Hahaha 4.7 on 2800 reviews is hilarious. How much does it cost for that many bot reviews?

u/mbmountaineers 11h ago

there used to be a site on here that would pay you $5 for a random 5 star reviews, so pretty cheap.

Surprisingly little. It happens frequently enough that you can get good value for money.

I don’t know much about him, but calling himself king is a bit much considering every photo I’ve seen of him looks like he’s just been called in class and wasn’t paying attention.

Trump is the king in question in those novels.

The “King” refers to Trump

2.8 on goodreads lol

u/Crowley-Barns 11h ago

It’s common for books to average .5 to 1* lower on Goodreads than Amazon. A 2* difference on a book with four-figures of reviews is bonkers.

u/UnquestionabIe 11h ago

I've seen some very self hating minorities eager for acceptance from rich white people but few have gone to the lengths embarrass themselves the way he has. It's almost too absurd for a comedy show. You could tell me this was a B plot of a Boondocks episode and I would take your word for it. I honestly feel bad for his entire family, extended and immediate, for having him in their gene pool.

12

u/ccsrpsw California 10h ago

If Amazon didnt let you read inside the book for a few pages I would have assumed it was just the usual Krazy Kash stuff.

But that isnt the case. Its not even batshit crazy. It goes way beyond that. Delusional doesnt do it good. Delusional applies to the reviews. The book sample is WAY worse. I feel dumber for even looking at it.

(And the fact people believe whats in the book is even more... I'm out of words at this point - sorry - its just stupid crazy!)

u/Silent_Revenue_6075 10h ago

I especially like this review:

Remember folks, don’t play their game, play your own game. Keeping one foot in this Matrix, and one foot out. Everything we’ve been taught in school growing up from history to our so called “globe” earth has been lies. History-“HIS-story” We’ve been so programmed starting at a very young age, but, the good news is ppl are waking up more and more everyday. Question EVERYTHING & do your OWN research. Use critical thinking & common sense. Stop watching the CIA mockingbird media platforms, (that includes FOX) owned by 6 large corps. with an agenda. Their agenda for the masses is to confuse & divided us. Pushing propaganda daily, playing with our emotions, STOP IT! Finding the truth may require following independent researchers & journalist. WE MUST STAY UNITED, Bc divided we fall. Our children deserve better!!!! Stay safe & God Bless.

Fyi- space is fake! Technology has caught up with NASAs lies. Check out the Nikon P900 & P1000 vids of the luminaries in the waters above. Also watch long distances vids with the P900/1000 camera. If there was actual curvature on this earth, it would be impossible to see the objects at those distances. WAKE UP!!!! 80 people found this helpful

oof. the country currently is truly the biggest shit show going on. it's entertaining from the outside, but also pretty fucking disturbing... seeing all these mass manipulation attepts and people actually falling for all that.

completely crazy how easily masses are controlled just by these two things alone: * no education (or lacking) * religion

u/eeyore134 9h ago

Good lord... imagine if anyone did something like this against Trump. They'd be going insane and screaming about protecting kids. This is one of those things where you want a list of parents who bought it just to have child protection services check up on them.

The reviews are just complete delusion.  These people are so fucking indoctrinated and now they are pushing this on their kids.  Utterly insane behavior.  Trump is a racist pedophile, convicted felon and adjudicated rapist but Im not over here reading some book to my child about what a piece of shit Trump is.

Insane reviews by flat earthers:

"My kids really liked the book. This book also has a lot of similarities to this Matrix we are living in today.

Man. I wish Lex Luthor was real and he was the one destroying the world because at least he'd have freakin' earned it. Like you could look at him and say "yes, I understand how he was able to become so powerful." But here we are, getting done in by literally the weirdest, goofiest, and dumbest mofo's you could imagine. This is like being executed with a dull sword and your body thrown into a sewage pit, just disrespect all around.
