Visa Stops Payments to WikiLeaks in Another Blow to Website

whatever happened to the first amendment. visa et al.are not afraid that something might "leak" that is actually true and exposes certain coverups and conspiracies, shady political dealings etc? were visa, mastercard etc. pressured by anyone???

Well its about time. I have not commented for years since Bill Clinton was in office because of all the negative e mails and feedback I received after one such comment I made in good faith. People can be vicious when they want to be.

Now, go after each and every person in WikiLeaks! After that, go after every misguided fool who contributed (money) to treasonous acts. Ignorance is no repreive from the law. Any American who disagrees is in serious need of history lessons and a reassessment of his/her patriotism. Show me one person who does not harbor a secret or two of his own and I'll show you a liar. Why would anyone expect nations to not have secrets? The big difference is that national secrets are vital to countless millions.

The right choice at a right time by yet another. Viva la' Visa! Let's hope the trend continues. It's one thing to know how shallow world politics in as seeming, but exposing same in black and white unequivocally detrimental to all.

I salute Visa and PayPal. It was the right move.

WiliLeaks....Speaking truth to power...has its consequences. Daniel Ellsberg was demonized also. My question is simple...since when is truth treason????

I look at it like this. If you really knew who killed Kennedy. I mean you have pictures and a section of the Zapruder film clearly showing J Edgar behind the trigger in the knoll. Or hidden video of Bush and Cheney without an absolute doubt orchestrating 9-11, plotting fact attacks on Iraq. Hussien is for Dad admissions. Wmd's sound as good as any other story. and the planes should hit here for the best effect. You get my drift. Real Wikileaks type material. Whould you tell? Would you disclose it. Would you want to know? A strange type of "violation of vital secrets of national security" of is it just somebody who is bold enough to expose the lies and the proof to back it up.

I now know that both MasterCard and VISA have, just today, begun to refuse to deliver the funding WikiLeaks was getting from charities and handled by credit outfits. I have voted with my feet, as we democratic Americans say when we are walking away from doing business with the pig and I have phoned both of the two banks with which I hold both bankcards to tell them that their cards are no longer in my wallet and for the time being, I will do my shopping with green cash.

Now I learn that MasterCard is also refusing to do business with WikiLeaks. I will stop using my (Citicard) MasterCard and phone the bank to tell them so.

So lets see. First that couple on that reality show on Bravo get past security and attend the White House dinner. Then this. Hahahahaha Doesn't matter who pulls out now. In fact, Yahoo pulled out also. Can you imagine the number of people who already printed up these documents? Does anyone sincerely believe THEY won't make hard copies and sell them off? The government may control the banks and scared off Yahoo, but they can't scare everyone else who already has there hands on it. Was never interested in these docs, but now with Visa pulling out my curiosity is peaked.
