Thanks Silentgypsy.

I’d like to know why it is that Mastercard and Visa have decided to allow the SPLC make decisions as to who may be a customer of theirs? What business does THAT?

I think that there needs to be a massive lawsuit against MC, Visa AND the SPLC, and that Horowitz (and others similarly affected) need to file a complaint with the DoJ regarding a criminal conspiracy between those 3 actors.

They want to engage in legalities to kill freedom of speech, then fight fire with fire (or, better yet, napalm and nukes).

“Lawsuit time”

Massive lawsuit. Financial damages, plus loss of good will through a form of slander. Horowitz may own SPLC

[EQAndyBuzz]

Accuse the SPLC of dealing opioids and seize their assets.

[Stayfree]

YES!

Where the hell are the chairmen of the House and Senate Banking committees? One phone call from them to Visa and M/C threatening subpoenas and hearings along with demands for reams of documents might get these financial giants thinking about who they would rather piss off...

[rwilson99]

It’s time to sue the SPLC out of existence. Slander is a thing. Damages can be proven here.

[Architect of Avalon]

This is ugly and evil and needs to be stopped.

[Maris Crane]

Here’s the thing,

I absolutely want to tell Visa that I plan to pay off my $3,000 balance and going forward, only use my debit card, but I would like an official’s name, address in order for it to get to the right department, along with a little message about SPLC.

If someone knows any of that information, I would be grateful.

Just sent a check to the Freedom Center. Wrote, “SLPC is Evil, evil, evil!!” on the comment line.

If I didn’t need my Mastercard for other purposes, I’d cancel it in a heartbeat.

[Silentgypsy]

You are the coolest!

[usconservative]

time for The Purge to begin.

[Luke21]

“Wow. Sounds like it’s time to sue the bejesus out of the that HATE GROUP!”

You still have faith in the courts?

[Nuc 1.1]

Trump should declare our federal judiciary a terrorist institution cause by God it is.

[Nuc 1.1]

And probably RICO statutes.

[GOPJ]

Maybe Trump should make that ‘one’ phone call...

[GOPJ]

In the shadow of the shadow?

Thank you. Here's an update on this situation from Brietbart:

After the publishing of this story, Visa replied to Breitbart News’ request for comment, denying any involvement in cutting off the Freedom Center from payment processing. In fact, Visa claims to have not been aware of the Freedom Center’s financial blacklisting before this article.

Breitbart News reached out to Mastercard for comment on the issue but has yet to receive a reply.

In other words, Visa "knows nothing" and Mastercard won't respond. Likely story :)

Thanks for the update. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
