Most credit cards are affiliated with banks which can only operate with a state or federal charter. How can these credit card companies refuse to process transactions of a business which is a going concern and breaking no laws?

The IRS has means to investigate foreign accounts held by or on behalf of US taxpayers.

What is needed is uniform treatment.

The problem created during the Obama years was the unequal treatment. Money laundering accompanied by payment of a fine (bribe) was given a pass if the business was deemed acceptable. Businesses like gas and oil were progressive targets and were criminally prosecuted whether a fine was paid or not.

The Trump policy is to offer financial and legal amnesty if the offshore funds are repatriated to the US.

The Trump policy is just. Decades of confiscatory taxes and stifling regulations caused funds to avoid or flee the USA. Unfortunately, justified tax avoiders are mixed in with tax evaders. The Trump policy gives offshore trusts a onetime opportunity and forgiveness event to get right with the law

We were told this week that not only is Gab blacklisted by Visa as a business, but my personal name, phone number, address, and more are all also blacklisted by Visa.

No disrespect to Andrew but I'd like a few more specifics before I freak out.

Told by whom?

What does it mean to have a phone number (and more!) blacklisted by Visa?

Did he use his home address, phone, etc. as his business info for Gab previously?

If they can do this to me, they can do it to you and they likely will.

Yes, they're a private company and they can choose who to do business with provided they honor their contracts (and civil rights laws). In 99.99% of the cases I'm not sure why they would, however.

Look up Paul Calder Le Roux. He is a wizard programmer .As an expert in encryption, he may be the inventor of bit coin. He was also a criminal mastermind whose criminal empire reads like Breaking Bad, but much more amazing.

“Big business“ has been infiltrated and compromised by the communists. The leftist slime that go to Haaaaavard business school and other places have been indoctrinated into SJWism and now they are on the boards of these companies and have turned them into weapons for the left.

We wouldn’t allow electric companies or gas companies to turn off the power or heat to people they disagreed with, and we shouldn’t let these corporations do the same.

These are monopolies. They can’t use their influence to destroy what made them able to get big in the first place.

And what portion of stocks on the NYSE are owned by the CCP?

They're being deprived of their livelihood based on a subjective, arbitrary, and capricious political landscape.

Are their civil rights being violated based on 'creed'?

Our useless GOP politicians: "Nothing to see here, just a private business, move along".

Plenty of FReepers singing that tune, too.

I guess the same way forcing you to buy health insurance is ok. The same way Hillary is breathing free air. The same way unwritten "nuances" are constitutional and plainly enumerated rights are ignored. Simply put:. Cuz that's how the Left wants it.

And yet there is a long, long list of American corporations that are just terrified of ANTIFA and its friends and these corporations will jump through any hoops and ruin anyone who offends the Left.

The behavior of these companies is not logical. Feels like something much deeper is at work.

I don't think they are actually terrified of ANTIFA or BLM. I think they are using them as an excuse to do what they prefer to do anyway.

And yes, there is something much deeper at work.

This is the same sort of thing that happened during the Jim Crow days. “We reserve the right to refuse business to anyone...”

I hope this is being challenged in court somewhere.

If all of the credit card companies are doing that, it’s a monopoly problem. Divide them.

In the meantime, those of us with the self-discipline and patience will boycott them all. There are more than enough ways to do that.

Lots of FReepers as well. Big Business was never our friend which is why many conservatives in the past have opposed thing like monopolies, conglomerates and multi-corps.

It is because any thing that reaches a certain level of power becomes dangerous. Big Business, Big Labor, Big Education or Big Government, Big Media, they are all a clear and present danger to freedom.
