BERLIN – Online payment service provider PayPal says in a company blog it has cut off the account used by WikiLeaks to collect donations.

The company said in a blog posting the move was prompted by a violation of its policy, "which states that our payment service cannot be used for any activities that encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to engage in illegal activity."

The short notice was dated Friday, and a spokeswoman for PayPal Germany on Saturday declined to elaborate and referred to the official blog posting.

Donating money to WikiLeaks via PayPal on Saturday was not possible anymore, generating an error message saying "this recipient is currently unable to receive money."

Clicking on a PayPal donation link at the WikiLeaks website produces a warning that “This recipient is currently unable to receive money.” In a Twitter message shortly after 3 a.m., WikiLeaks claimed that PayPal had surrendered to “US government pressure.”

1. LOL

Anyone know what that post is about?


It is about beer. Can you believe that.

Here is another thing about their methods. All they can do is 'claim' to be able to do something. All those things like that have no power you don't give them. They make the claim, and then want you to give them authority by believing because they write it some where, that it means something.

It is trying to create something by hoping people will believe it only because they said it. They are counting on people doing what they are told without second and third defense, then they can be deceived by a false first defense.

The first defense is the beautiful spiritual things in so many places.
The second defense is the heart given that knows the sound of love.
The third defense is the thoughtful inspired works of people across the ages.


If you only trust in the first defense, then those that pretend to be light can fool you, but with the second and third defense, you are also part of the better concepts. First, Second, and Third defense. The Trinity in my belief, although each has to choose how they see things.

3. Yeah, it's about PayPal being PayPal

I knew I was dancing with the devil when I signed up with them. I'm happy to be getting rid of them and being able to make a statement at the same time.

Where the beer comes in, I'm not real sure..........

2. Fitting, since I have been told that Dept of Homeland security monitors every purchase.
