According to a news release this morning, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has joined with PayPal on a research partnership to monitor how extremists use financial platforms to fund criminal activity.
According to the release, the partnership will focus on “uncovering and disrupting the financial pipelines that support extremist and hate movements” by targeting “actors and networks spreading and profiting from all forms of hate and bigotry.” Their findings will be “shared broadly across the financial industry and with policymakers and law enforcement.” (read full press release here)
Earlier today it was announced that Big Tech will monitor the internet, create a database of extremists, and report content they do not approve to the United State Intelligence Community for further action (DEPLATFORMING). This latest notification from ADL would be a step in using the lists created by Big Tech to notify financial institutions of who needs to be blocked from banking services (DEMONETIZING).
Good grief………
Welcome to the Forth Reich.
It’s literally like the books and movies I grew up on coupled with Nazi Germany.
Total Recall mixed with Schindlers List with a tad of the Manchurian Candidate
and don’t forget Kubrick’s film “2001: A Space Oddysey” . . . with Douglas Rain as The Voice of Hal-9000 . . . I can’t let you do that, Dave
Throw in Orwell’s Animal Farm.
Dwayne D., imagine going back to 1938 and giving the nazis in Germany the same high tech tools that we have today.
We are becoming what that would have looked like.
Comment of the year!!!
One wonders how “The Resistance” would have fared?
Didn’t “America” (1987)
end with The Grange Militia standing on their grain silos with their hunting rifles with the UN Black Helicopters and APCs circling to attack?
Makes one wonder if they consider Susan Rosenberg an extremist? Her organization bombed the US Capitol in 1983. Per the great oracle, Snopes, “Susan Rosenberg has served as vice chair of the board of directors for Thousand Currents, an organization that provides fundraising and fiscal sponsorship for the Black Lives Matter Global Movement.”
Defund BLM.
Given the customer base available for a conservative alternative to Paypal, what structural barriers are holding back investors?
Why couldn’t a group of conservative minded entrepreneurs and financiers get together and have something arranged?
The only explanation that makes sense is that there is active suppression. The question is who is involved in doing it (other than the institutional left). The GOPe certainly will be willing to collude passively but could it be more than that.
The structural barrier is the financial industry. In the end someone has to agree to do things with your currency.
Good luck getting JP Morgan, Bank of America, Chase, and all the Too-Big-to-Fail financial institutions to support free and open dialogue.
The same/similar issue will occur with the internet infrastructure as we are pushed towards cloud computing and digital only currency.
The data server infrastructure that big tech has built and is currently building will not be able to be matched by new startups. We are talking billion dollar datacenters being constructed all across the nation.
Correct.
It is one of the main impetuses behind digital-only currency, which allows from much closer monitoring of behavior and, ultimately, control over behavior.
It also does not help that when a viable startup does appear (GAB, Parlor, etc) Big Tech unleashes the Twitter mob to immediately brand it as “far right” which provides cover for immediate and irreparable severance from all financial services.
50-100 million people walking away from secured and unsecured debt will get their attention. That’s the first step in a multi-pronged war plan. If needed we can make it look ‘official’ like corporate America does when they walk away from their debts, and employees, and pension plans. You know, that kind of stuff.
I don’t understand the ADL getting mixed up in this anymore than I understand Israel going full on Nazi with the vaccinations!
maybe there is really no difference??!!
The ADL has been extreme left for sometime, even if that means putting leftism over Jewish interests.
They are the same. Read about the bolshevik revolution and the takeovers the communists tried throughout Europe. The members were overwhelmingly Jewish. It is no surprise the banking industry is lock step with the ADL, communists, BLM and other anti freedom/nationalists groups.
“An inconvenient (and uncomfortable, dare I say, unpalatable) Truth.
Though expect to be lambasted for you (personally nonexistent) “antisemitism” for your pains.
“The Truth has no agenda.” But agendas have small liking for The Truth.
And does “The Jewish Community” put ADL’s interests over America’s?
Why do most people in Israel not accept Jesus Christ or even acknowledge him ?
Israel has also on many occasions stole intellectual property of citizens of the U.S.A. And stole top secret information so really they can be considered an enemy of this country along with many others except we give them billions
I believe Big Tech and Big Banking are subject to disruption, just like all the industries they have disrupted with the advent of the internet, the cloud, AI, etc. It takes really clever and dedicated entrepreneurs, with financial backing, to take the risks and win despite the odds. And it takes stopping the Great Reset and stopping the establishment of a totalitarian state here in the US, which seems like it’s about 50% accomplished already. A MAGA US government could greatly facilitate it with laws breaking up big tech, outlawing the abuse of our liberties that the current administration is currently ramping up with Big Tech. On the other hand, if not stopped, totalitarianism will be as fast as a new pandemic.
Will election fraud prevent there ever again being a MAGA administration?
We’ll see won’t we?
.
Okay… suppose I were to get a group together to form a community bank. How do we process transactions with people using other institutions without the cooperation of the big banks and the Fed?
“The only explanation that makes sense is that there is active suppression.”
Ya think?
Call it “Paytriot”.
You have to have a financial charter snd license in every state you do business in. All of this is controlled by the fed end of a great idea!
Just deleted my PayPal account. It’s easy. Here’s the FAQ.
https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/how-do-i-close-my-paypal-account-faq1215
even easier after ebay stopped using them as mandatory third party for sale transactions.
Where is the part where they ask you why youre closing it. We could send them the link.
I had a paypal account for many years because of its relationship with ebay. Earlier this year I closed both my paypal and ebay accounts when I read about paypal taking action against conservatives. Don’t miss them at all.
80M Americans could return to a system of payment by cash or check. For instance, they could insist on paychecks being sent through the mail. Then pay groceries, rent, mortgage etc. in cash or by check. Car insurance by check, and should also withdraw money once a week in person at their banks without paying a fee.
In a free market system, and under our constitution, US currency, gold and silver are the only legal tender. Credit cards are, and always have been an insidious third-party payer systems, and, like all third-party payers, they undermine the value of the purchaser’s role in determining the conditions under which purchases are made. Credit cards have essentially mandated that all purchases be on credit only, and, were it not for this credit mandate, the sales price in cash or by check would certainly be lower over time.
Americans should truly reclaim their control over the money they earn, and demand that banks satisfy all withdrawal requests in cash on demand, and tell credit card companies to quite simply go to hell.
I am seriously considering withdrawing cash from my bank every pay day, cash-in all stock and put it into real estate…
And gold, silver, lead and a deep pantry.
except you can’t buy real estate with cash. No way.
I’m not keeping up, DTG.
The comment:
” Credit cards have essentially mandated that all purchases be on credit only, and, were it not for this credit mandate, the sales price in cash or by check would certainly be lower over time . . . .” is false. I use a credit card for everything I purchase, personal and business, and never carry a balance or get charged interest–never. I use this method because it’s safer than carrying cash. The transaction fee and the short-term float are paid for by the merchants, who build that cost into their prices. So what, you pay cash, at the increased price, and you are paying for a service you are not using. Besides, you want the cashier and her boyfriend to see how much jack you’re toting around? Oops.
Even if a debt is paid at the end of the month, the original purchase was, nonetheless, made ‘on credit,’ and the price paid will have carried the additional transaction fees built into it.
It’s also well known that because these are credit purchases, greater amounts of merchandise can be obtained than the amounts of money currently held by the buyer or available to him (credit is a great boon to all purveyors of goods and services).
However, the point was not to deny the great convenience of using credit cards and not having to carry cash, but rather to make a point that if the left and its agents are going to use their power to discriminate against Trump supporters by cancelling their access to the electronic financial system, then the losses suffered by institutions (and the businesses that rely on electronic transactions!) will be greater than those suffered by the presumed victims of the left’s machinations because 80M Americans that only use cash or checking will find that they are much better shoppers and will avoid non- essential frills, will check their wallets before ordering high end menu items while dining, and will only buy new washing machines, cars etc. when they’ve saved the money. In short, shoppers will have more money at the end of the month, and business have have less sales receipts.
But more importantly, the New World Order is trying to dislodge the US dollar from its perch and replace it with electronic money which will only multiply their totalitarian grasp of other peoples’ wealth, and a return to cash and checking and forsaking credit might deter the left from all these machinations that it apparently has planned all along.
The issue of electronic money is of the utmost importance. We do not hear enough about it because the very weird and peculiar realities surrounding Bitcoin are being covered up by many (especially by Masters of the Universe) who own the stock and do not want to talk it down. When the left engages fully in a conspiracy of silence they certainly know how do it well. In this case, investing in electronic money is a leftwing ploy to keep the price of metals from going too high and destroying manufacturing while the communists rack up tons of debt and never have to pay the consequences of hyper-inflation(excess money does not enter the marketplace, it is instead diverted to investments in electronic money, and does not bid up most prices).
Bitcoin’s massively insane rise is the left’s vehicle. There has never been a stock in the history of investing that has risen as high as this stock and yet most days people never even ask how or why.
Suspicious cat remains, well, suspicious.
“Credit cards have essentially mandated that all purchases be on credit only…”
Mandated? Is that not what the term “credit” means? After all if you are not buying on “credit” you are not using “credit” are you?
I hope it was clear that ANY USE OF CREDIT CARDS REQUIRES AN IMPLICIT AND EXPLICIT ACCEPTANCE THAT THE DEBT WILL BE PAID LATER. In other words: on credit, whether you need the credit or not. Of course, credit is favorable to all providers of goods and services. But our discussion here involved the abuse of those that hold the keys to the ELECTRONIC banking system, which NOW requires more than ever a wholly credit-based system. If these autocrats wish to go down that path, we should opt out of their electronic credit system.
This is something that EVERYONE needs to do. By the end of this week PayPal should no longer exist – it should no longer be a thing. No one needs to have PayPal.
Thx, my pp account is now closed…
Tried canceling right after resident Biden stepped in but there were excuses given by pp, this time I tried it was easy…
Done
Love the HAL 9000 reference.
These folks are really narrowing down options of discourse and reasonable political interaction of the citizenry.
.
They are incrementally tightening things down.
.
They are literary banking on compliance.
.
Fascinating to watch, wish it was just a nightmare.
.
Not afraid here, just more resolved on who our opposition exactly is…
No longer a reference but a reality.
My niece is fully captured. Oregon state university…….She may even turn me in after forwarding her the anti vax video.

Antifa capitol of the world
Seriously get it here! I tell my family zero! They would do it too.
You should tell them anyway. Because you care.
The America First digital martyrs list/club. Is their some sort of application that I need to fill out, or is posting here at CTH good enough?
This is getting totally out of hand. Right now this is not the America I grew up in. We are officially beyond a third world country. The only way to get us back on track is to get the audits certified & reinstate our Real President Donald Trump.
NO, stargirl!
As PDJT’s first term clearly showed us, JUST getting PDJT back in the WH, is not NEARLY enough!
Unless we dislodge the GOPe stranglehold on Congress, they will again succesfully strangle and stifle PDJT, and fully participate in undoing any accomplishments he makes.
We want it to be EASY; its not. The marxist/fascists have made a 100 year march through ALL of our institutions, from education to media, BOTH political parties, Boy Scouts to AMA.
In order to truly “fight back”, we must begin a long, slow slog, to take back these institutions, while simultaneously pushing back using extreme Federalism, as Sundance calls it.
We can NOT put all our hopes on DJT, as “the great white hope”; WE have to do the hard work, ourselves.
Run for Schoolboards, City Councils, Mayors, etc. or support those patriots who are.
Become a Republican party precinct captain, and begin working up the local party hierarchy, expelling Rinos.
Support State legislators who are calling for audits, and work to vote out the R quislings who are trying to prevent audits.
Refuse to vote for “the lesser of two weavils”, or fall for the “splitter strategy”.
We can NOT simply put it all on DJT, to singlehandedly “make it all better”.
100 years of infiltration can not be easily dislodged, and the job can not be delegated.
Its says “WE, the people,..”
Great post! A sustained effort by We The People is how we Save America.
I tend to believe/hope that it is the top tier of these organizations that are the marxist sympathizers. Overturn the boards or upper leadership that are actively pushing the woke agenda and a lot of this fight would be won.
TACTICAL CIVICS™- the ONLY full-spectrum ACTION organization

For educational purposes only… ?
The site is gone.
I think this may be it:

Somewhere I read about drums beating and things about to go down.
Tick toc eh?
Seems like sharing it with the govt. would make them an agent of the govt. especially considering the statement about turning it over to the IC community for “further action”.
I would not think these actions by big tech would not fall under sec. 230. If it does it should be repealed.
Something very wrong with big tech, big government and big Corp. teaming up to attack the rights of the citizens. If it is legal it’s a major problem with very bad consequences.
And it would be 1000% illegal. Against the Constitution. Again and again
the courts that would hear such a case are most certainly compromised…
So day by day they are laying the ground work for full federal Government take over and will have no push back because they laid the groundwork. I look for them to announce “we have taken over and you will comply” any day.
Resistance is futile , you will be assimilated into the Borg hive.
There aren’t enough body guards in the country to protect the oligarchs and politicians. Just as in all revolutions, they would be the first casualties.
Sand in the machine time. Perhaps overwhelm the system with tips?
Well, if someone were going to try that, turn in the Karens.
Like putting a Trump 2020 sticker on a libtards car, its a “dirty trick”, but its not like THEY “play fair”.
We can all see where this is headed.
Thank God and our founding fathers for the Bill of Rights, especially the first 2 amendments….
Yep, We’re Toast! The ADL is the same thing as the Southern Poverty Law Center. Any one, any organization that supports President Trump past, present or future will be DeMonetized. Welcome to the next stage of the Destroy Trump and make sure that he and his kind can never rise again.
So, concrete proof that they fear the future, and admit that Biden has only months, if not weeks, left. Excellent! Also, before any Leftist starts to get measured up for a Hugo Boss type outfit, these rules can be used to crush any organisation deemed as a threat to the Great Reset.
Just came to post this in the Open, but I guess it fits here, too.
Sounds like PayPal, etc. have their own “Social Credit Score” already. Check out where this leads:

Nostradamus was an amateur compared to Orwell…
Notice the multiple monitors at 2:10: SKYNET (!)
Those behind these extreme measures are ratcheting things up, I think, in order to provoke something they can use to distract everyone from the results of the audits . . .
you know, you can strip the threads at some point, Merrick!
Notice how benign NBC treats this.
I was about to say that. Listen to the admiration is her voice. Its a wonderful thing. Its all for your good…. and heaven forbid you “gossip”…
Gone.
If you haven’t already, it’s time to prep and move your money from the big or medium banks to small local banks – and spread it around several accounts/banks. Also, if married, have some money in independent accounts so if one of you gets flagged…
use your local credit union
Or a local / privately run credit union. Check bank ratings before switching to any bank.
I use this company /website for ratings. They do both banks and credit unions.

Thank you!!
Thanks GB.
I have wondered about safe deposit boxes.. If they don;t allow unvaxxed in a bank how do you
access your box?
Ditch the box. Banks will voluntarily turn over everything at the government’s behest. You, the customer are a creditor of the bank and the last in line to enjoy any sort of rights. Better to have your own safety deposit box at home.
A friend family had their family treasures in a box. Bank did renovations, mom was early Alzheimers, didn’t let daughter know about bank notification. Everything in the box went poof, not traceable, so sorry not sorry.
The ADL??? Ellie Weisel would be astounded!
He would be proud.
ThanX for posting this, Sundance.
First read about this on GP…contacted the bastards (paypal – not GP) and told them to delete my account.
Got a feeling I’ll be closing a lot more accounts before we finally take our Republic back.
I miss the days when they tried to hide stuff like this and those of us talking about it would be called conspiracy theorist and couldn’t prove it because it was done behind the scenes…
Yep, now we are domestic terrorists.
Berlin, 1939
Pay Pal costs merchants more; this is a good reason to get a less expensive
processing account.
I just went on PayPal and threw a little sand in the machinery.
When someone inquires how they can close their account they might get my community help answer about why they should definitely close their account.
Just closed it. It was so easy it was kind of creepy.
I’d been wanting to do that for a long time.
Done!
Probably making it easy for them.
HOW to identify “the enemy” (for them);
Publish this, then record all the people that cancel their Paypal accounts, soon after this is published.
Like “flagging” EVERYONE who flew into DC, on Jan 5-6, and flew out again on 7-8, it gives them a good starter list.
Don’t cancel it. Just don’t use it.
I actually don’t use it. What’s interesting is after I canceled I got about 20 emails saying that everyone I had ever paid will no longer get money. That was an eye opener.
I obviously needed to close it. That kind of record of my payments seems a little intrusive.
Wow, how many fbi agents are going to get their paypal accounts closed?
I don’t see any of the boycotting working. What I see is average americans getting completely ostracized and complying… how do we not comply with their rules with out allowing ourselves to be removed from society?
How do we fight back?
I dont think it’s with boycotts. I can’t shop anywhere anymore. And I’m not in a position to have a self sustaining or off the grid existance.
Do they plan on preventing us from online shopping. If I can;t go into the grocery store I can
use Pea Pod shop on line, Same with Walmart and others.
Of course no one is being stopped [yet] from using the internet or online shopping, but the substance if the article was expanded surveillance and targeting of political opposition “domestic terrorists”.
Online shopping means using a credit card (or paypal) thats monitoring your purchases and targeting extremists or offering the data to the Intelligence Community just because.
Was it american express that turned all their data for DC purchases and travel for Jan 6th over to IC without any warrant?
Anyway, many commenters suggest we boycott paypal rather than do business with an evil company. Which is a great principaled stand.
But I want to know, how do we stop what’s happening?
I want search and seizure property rights over my data. I want this tyranny to stop. I want competition to exist, and/or evildoers to be punished and put in their place.
Boycotts aren’t stopping evildoers or tyrants, and for these huge cooperations, it absolutely doesn’t phase their bottom line.
We are only punishing ourselves by narrowing our options.
Why is this happening and how can it be stopped?
Unfortunately, when we get in with the Paypals of the world online, we dutifully check the little box called “I accept the Terms and Conditions..”.
Within the 30-odd pages of gobbbledy gook is granting them permission to use your info and you willingly waive all rights to any legal protections.
Just about everything online has terms and conditions where ones waives their privacy rights. Can’t we stop this? Shouldn’t our legislators legislate against data-rape as a term of service?
The Fourth Branch has been normalizing all of this for several years now. Remember youtube demonetizing Diamond & Silk along with many others? Wasn’t Alex Jones basically unpersoned and kicked off everything including banking, along with many others?
Why do I feel like I’m living the life of the French Underground in WWII?
I think THEIR idea of extremists and OUR idea of extremists are two VERY different things. Any heterosexual, caucasian, married, employed patriot with a family will be an “extremist” by their definition. Just as the bible predicted. Universal deceit. What is evil is good. What is good is evil.
Watch how fast they stop all online gun orders and ammo sales.
These idiots are standing in gasoline and about to strike a match
Wonder how this will affect churches. So many of them use PP for contributions, and many of them are quite vocal against totalitarianism, etc
One of the donation methods CTH uses is PP.
I just now canceled my PayPal account and provided them with a scathing rebuttal. Told them I am a proud deplorable who support President Donald J Trump 1000%. Also mention to them that I am sure other “deplorables” will follow suite. Not supporting any business takes the knee to our communist government. I will NEVER give in.
And can you imagine what will happen when the DIGITAL DOLLAR appears?
They won’t need to go through PayPal, they will just be able to turn/off or cancel your money. In that way you will buy what they want you to buy… it will be a national version of the “company store” where your money has no more value than “company scrip” / tokens / non-cash vouchers. In reality, because they control your money, your money won’t be “your money” but will be akin to having a joint checking account with the United States government. Imagine having a safe full of gold coins that can disappear at any time, based upon a government whim. A literal version of: “you won’t own anything and will be happy”.
This is not my America. In the end we can only defend the ground on which we stand.
2 things i have not had or ever will.a paypal account and a debit card.
Isn’t paypal already blocking anyone who doesn’t agree with their left-wing politics?
No. They weren’t blocking me or ever hindered any purchases. But then I never told them my political views nor am I a high profile person, nor do I have any twitter account, nor a fakebook account under my name.
Nonetheless I cancelled my paypal account today having used them for 17 years. Enough is enough.
For a private person, not yet and not until this system is in place.
What has been happening with PP is the same thing which has been happening with the Intelligence Community: the dirty work has been outsourced to social media companies. Currently PP does not take action until the Twitter mob is unleashed to mass report someone for wrongthink (media personalities like Alex Jones, Stephen Crowder, etc). Then PP cut ties because of the astro-turfed “outrage.”
I look at this development the same way I look at the recent admissions by the Intelligence Community: it’s been going on a long time, they’re just a) admitting publicly and codifying it as “normal and acceptable” and b) expanding from “public figures” to private citizens.
Don’t read my attitude as dismissive. It’s not. The fact that they’re now out in the open and expanding their abuses are accelerations of corrosive trends that will not be stopped unless the people demand they be stopped, which is something they do not seem to think will happen.
America was warned a long time ago about the creeping evil aka communism. America didn’t take it seriously. America will hopefully survive this, but only by the hands of men who worship God.
Will that include CAIR as being prohibited as they are anti-Semitic and support designated Terrorist groups? Or are CAIR members going to be on the Censor board just like the pro-jihadists on the Pentagon “extremist” Committee (who will force out 98% of the Military as they have developed unpleasant feelings towards muslims during their multiple deployment against them)?
I don’t use paypal, so I don’t care. Ebay accepts credit cards directly, so no need to use paypal there. The noose it tightening though and wonder when the pot is going to boil over. God help us!
EB also has issues. It set a precedent of pulling “inappropriate” materials such as those evil Dr. Seuss books.
I do try to use EB now for online shopping, certainly before Bozo-zon. You’re at least dealing with individuals or small businesses on the other end, but beware.
Yooooohoooo….Dung Zhou Mitch,Salon Boy McCarthy? Could you please tear yourselves away from caring about other nations borders,rights,finances, and pay attention here? For like 5 minutes. YOU gave those assholes too much power. Now they will be coming for YOU.
Hey, Peter Thiel, you started this company.
How about you denounce them as Communist/Fascist garbage.
In the guise of providing “service”, high tech has effectively gained ownership of online transactions using US dollars.
On printed US dollars and Federal Reserve Notes is the written contract “This Note Is Legal Tender For All Debts Public and Private”. Does that not also apply to electronically transferred payments?
PayPal and ADL = Gestapo
Yep. Watch it, calling them out will automatically put you in the category of “racist” or “Anti-Semitic”. The truth be damned
Lending discrimination…
https://www.fdic.gov/regulations/laws/rules/5000-3860.html
Time for my pillow pay to start up!
These extremist and hate groups certainly won’t include BLM or Antifa.
If you don’t think the USA is being transformed into a copy of Communist China you’re not paying attention to what is happening.
Closer to a copy of Nazi Germany.
I just closed my PayPal account–it felt real good! You should try it right now.
Well, as a 20 year PayPal account holder I took this news as a message that PayPal no longer wanted my business. Logged on, transferred the balance to my bank and cancelled the account. The only message I got was adios and feel free to make a new account.
Good job! I was wondering as a solution what are other alternatives to Paypal for receiving payments via Web? Please list them as I now will have to remove Paypal from my fundraising campaign on my website.
I use Venmo to transfer funds to my quilter. Haven’t used it for anything else and don’t know their politics but you might check into it. It is easy to use.
Venmo is owned by PayPal.
Venmo is PayPal.
Zelle is bank account to bank account transfer, that is what I use.
