I'm guessing that they've already got the name and SSN of every person who supported President Trump and any conservative politician, like Joe Collings, and will be doing the same thing to us before long. Just one of the many reasons I will never go along with "a cashless society."

It's far too easy to simply have the government cut off your ability to buy food, pay rent, or even have a job.

Some folks here are mentioning problems around the edges but missing the overall mendacity.

I know nothing about Gab, truly zero, but the dark forces pummeling Gab are not merely threatening banks with bad PR or a boycott. If as a household or business you do business with Bank A, switching to Bank B is not like pulling a 12-pack of Coke off the shelf rather than a 12-pack of Pepsi. Switching is time-consuming, costly and challenging. So these dark forces are not threatening anything as benign as a boycott. They are threatening to ruin these banks by other means, surely none of them legal.

Moreover, these dark forces are surveilling Gab, again by means that are very likely illegal, to know their every move and to preempt them from engaging in any normal business transactions.

The left does this more and more often brazenly and in your face.

There are decent open-to-all credit unions that can handle a business like Gab, but Torba had better have a guaranteed loan line with an absurd default penalty against the bank/CU, and commensurate handling agreement with whoever he goes with.

A secured loan line would force the bank to keep doing business with him or force the default penalty.

I've always wondered why conservative sites have not approached Lloyd's for a quote against tortious business interference resulting in shutdown at current scale. Lloyd's will write anything for the price. In the case of Parlor, had the policy been written correctly, Lloyd's would have paid.

"...SECOND AMENDMENT BANK."

Count wife & I in!
It would be better than sex (of course when your 87, brushing your teeth is better than sex) to be able to dump BOA (since 1988) & SunTrust (since 1991) and return to an America-supporting bank...

"There is clearly a huge business opportunity for a wealthy conservative to open a financial institution that will deal with conservative individuals, businesses and groups. It would appear that they have that field all to themselves."

Thiel doesn't want to be cut out of future vulture opportunities, and won't listen to anyone who can napkin the exponential value of a free-speech creditor.

There's an obvious opening for a 'new Thiel' to do what you suggest via crypto.

It’d be interesting to use Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission argue against this type of discrimination in public accommodations, especially banks.

As usual with the current court, only Thomas and Gorsuch saw through to the heart of the issue, that the ruling against the cake shop violated its free speech protections.

Seems to me that both the majority and dissenting opinions offer a remedy to Gab here against the banks. Maybe the legal minds here can help clarify, but I can’t see any consistency with this decision and discrimination against a consumer based upon legally protected speech.

"This sounds just like it, biden just added conservative docial media to the existing list of targeted businesses, pawn shops, gun stores and payday poan operations. Presdure their bank to shut down their account, you shut down the business."

Every "pawn shop, gun store" worth their salt has figured how to go cash flow. That got weeded out in the megausury credit lines blue-lining the aforesaid in 2014-2015.

There is an opportunity for someone to set up a payment system through bitcoin that completely bypasses the central bankers and the credit card companies.

When it happens, the central bankers and credit card companies will be on the endangered species list.

FR should be busy working on a Plan B and a Plan C for operations.

That’s why I said it was likely he might know someone in banking, who is familiar with all that, FDIC, Federal Reserve etc.

**********You think each of Gab’s banks decided independently to “go woke”? No, they each were leaned on, one after the other, by the same Deep State regulators.**********

Exactly the main point of my post. Operation Choke Point does exactly that. Obama used it to shut down pawn shops and gun dealers. Biden plans to crank it up again, this looks exactly like the start of it.

How cryptocurrency works.
Technical but you might find it interesting.
Notice how banks/government are not involved.

Is everyone here starting to understand that corporate America is no longer a friend of Conservatives. Maybe they once were but not anymore.

Next we’ll find that no one is willing to SELL a bank to him.

Or the FED or FEC will step in and say some excuse why republicans cannot buy or sell.

First banks, then eventually groceries.
