That's right. MasterCard and Visa reportedly stopped transactions for those wishing to donate money to WikiLeaks, due to a "technicality". But anyone who wants to donate to the Ku Klux Klan can still whip out their plastic.

Hell, "Christian Concepts", the legal name of the Knight's Party, is a non-profit in good standing in the state of Arkansas (gee, what a surprise).

The "Knight's Party" makes it clear they are the Ku Klux Klan. http://www.kkk.com/
There is no question they are a front for the Klan. They ain't hiding it.

2. But woe betide the Klan should they ever threaten to release docs on Bank of America.
Then there will be hell to pay.

3. PayPal has released Wikileaks funds, which is pretty fast
considering that none of these companies feel responsible to their users any more.

5. They're a business - they're only responsible to their bottom line. Does this
mean PayPal is taking donations for Wikileaks again, or just released funds they were holding?

4. That's because they haven't been pressured by our Government to cut them off.
I'm surprised the CC companies agreed to this because it will cause a decrease in their revenue. Wonder what they were promised in return. :shrug:

6. The KKK still fits into the ruling elite's various plans...
...including those requiring peons to stay at each others' throats...

7. The KKK doesn't have a cache of docs on the banks....
Wikileaks does.

8. But Mastecard, Visa and now Paypal websites are dead a result.
So you can't whip out the plastic for a while at least.
