This isn’t the internet - this is a credit card processor/bank that is denying legal and legit businesses service.

Once again showing that the TRUE bigots and discriminators are leftists and democrats.

Make no mistake These people don’t just want to silence opposition they what to destroy us by denying us a livelihood.

This is the ultimate goal of socialism and why it’s a disease.

Steps to start your own platform on the internet: (updated)

1. Try to purchase server space from thrid party, fail and have to buy your own servers and internet connection.

2. Try to register via DNS service, but your money is no good there so you have register in a different country.

3. Put up link to crowdfunding service, but the credit card company cuts you off.

<- WE ARE HERE

4. Try to Start your own Bank

5. Try to Start your own power company

6. Try to Start your own Country???

Understood, but the power of these types of financial outfits is attributable to internet transfers of data and funds.

Not just internet transfers - if you try to run your own business you need a credit card processor as well. Like at a gun show where people are being denied the ability to process credit cards at gun shows.

Or the NRA being denied liability insurance

"This canceling of our business was done for political reasons by Edwin Wee, a Democratic political operative turned Stripe employee, and it exposes the libertarian lie that one can simply just go and create a competitor if one dislikes Silicon Valley ventures," said Charles C. Johnson, CEO of Freestartr. "You can’t. We need to get over that canard."

In before that canard.

Seems like we could use either anti-trust or RICO laws against this.

ALL OF THIS massive and coordinated speech and opinion SUPPRESSION and SILENCING is aimed at affecting the November 2018 election. The LEFT, the DEEP STATE and the Ruling Elite are desperately trying to stop this election from STRENGTHENING President Trump and enabling enactment of his American Patriot agenda.

Rhetorical question: So, tell me again, just who is/are the “rich” in our party; or, is the money mostly in their’s?

Maybe decentralized crypto-currencey wasn’t such a bad idea after all where you are your own banker. From what I’ve read Etherium is also capable of running an alternate internet on its existing platform already.

Ironically, this is where the CFPB and the FTC could cause the payment processor a lot of grief.

This was foretold when Obama, the RAT party and the RINO party allowed the United States authority over the internet to lapse.
