Mastercard is a corporation. It depends upon its issuers, mostly banks and other financial institutions, for the flow-through that makes it the money that it needs to survive. The diffuse nature of these institutions is why it is hard to call them to task for this punishment of free speech by conservatives. Somewhere in their corporate structure, the LEFT has gotten editorial and financial control.

As a consequence, I am protesting to my credit card issuer, USAA, that their exclusive choice of Mastercard is causing me to discontinue its usage. If we all do the same, perhaps we may make a difference!

I am certainly going to write Mastercard a letter. I wrote one to the CEO of Bank of America, a polite, reasoned letter, and got back a bland form letter.

Probably the same will happen here, but I will do it nonetheless.

“USAA, that their exclusive choice of Mastercard is causing me to discontinue its usage.”

I think they dropped mastercard a few years ago. I only have visa now.

My USAA card is a Visa.

This has been part of the left's plan cooked up in the U of Chicago in the 60s.

Banks? I recall that a video of HRC surfaced wherein Wall Street Bankers got into bed with HRC with a deal in 2016 before the DNC Fake Convention (in secret and contrary to what HRC promised her community supporters).

I thought about it a lot. And we should be hearing something louder and more "wake up!!" -more acute- than just Tucker and Hannity etc. We should be hearing alarms, we should be hearing distant air raid sirens wailing away about this. But there is little to nothing.

Truth: The Big Money from Wall Street lost with HRC, but in 2020 they will double-down and make a deal with Trump's opponents. And if Trump wins again they will try again in 2024. They hate America and western values and they are traitors. HRC raised and spent 1.2 Billion dollars in 2016. And she lost by a E.C. "landslide" so the obvious thing is that the vast bulk of her 1.2 billion dollars did not come from the suburban DNC normie voters. So where did it come from and who stood to benefit from HRC? Few in the media even care about this.

It seems demented but I conclude that The Big Money hates the Patriots, Normies, and Flyover Deplorables. That HRC deal --- that was the so-called Establishment, the Elites, the Too-Big-Too-Fail Wall Street suits, the sector with most to gain from law and order, social cohesion and stability, and with most at risk from "Occupy" and "Antifa" far left traitors, ... that was them totally selling out to SJW/PC/Alyinskyism (i.e., that ideology that has pushed the USA, Canada, UK, etc, to a near-death-experience). Shocking.

False. That was once true, decades ago. Now Mastercard is a UTILITY. Ubiquitous. Unavoidable. And thus subject to explicit government regulation and litigation. Trump's DOJ needs to test civil rights suits against MC, Visa, Google, Facebook, Twitter, GoDaddy, Verisign, etc., on the basis on this.
