PayPal Cuts Off Service To Wikileaks

[Kommander_Kink]

The crooked and hated online payment service PayPal has cutted off its service to Wikileaks citing that it violated its TOS of "engaging or encouraging illegal activities or others to do illegal activities".

Since when do these scumballs at PayPal worry about crooks using their services? Anyways, I just donated another $60 via MasterCard, there are other donation methods too, I have also e-mailed Wikileaks if I can volunteer at their website or host a mirror site, whatever it takes.

Go go Wilieaks!

Good. Hope Assange gets caught soon and sent to Sweden to face rape charges too.

They are cutting that idiot down. Amazon dumped him. Paypal dumped him. EveryDNS.net dumped him.

No one wants to take part in something that could compromise lives.

Assange is an idiot.

 

[Freshgeardude]

i hope assange happens to get in an accident and dies.

That'd be too easy of a way out.

This is one of the few things that paypal has done recently that I agree with. Wikileaks is risking people's lives.

 

[vital]

way to waste $60.. you should have donated your $60 for a better cause like red cross or something?

Why? So that America's dirty secrets can stay buried? Maybe this might be some big deal for you guys down there in terms of being a breach of security.. but for the rest of us it's a bigger revelation in terms of just how crooked the United States is, not that we didn't know before.

So I've got mixed feelings about all of this.

I'm guessing you have no idea what happened? If you read the real story you would see he banged 2 women in the same week and they talked to each other and got mad. 2nd one went to police as she was pissed she bought him food and a train ticket and he just wanted sex and nothing else.

its already too late. info is out, doesnt matter who takes it down at this point

Agree...i mean who really did wrong here? that stuff should have never happened to begin with

And you'd learn that every other country in the world does the same damn thing. Except now, American lives are put into jeopardy.

Can only hope all of the leakers are caught and sentenced to death for treason and Assange is executed soon.

 

[Pollock]

why all the hate for wikileaks and assange? don't any of you read what was leaked? aren't any of you disgusted by the actions of our government (especially the afghanistan ones)?

Yes, I'm sure that story has been confirmed and I believe everything I read in the news.

So you have made your mind up as long as anything you read agrees with you? :hmm:

The info I have read has come from the police reports and their information they got from the women.

Excuse me? Not like the United States does.

A) He's not going to be executed, most 'civilized' states don't have the death penalty anymore.

B) Maybe you guys should stop doing shit that you would be embarrassed about having to air out in the public eye.

WHAT?! Speak louder. I can't hear you over the sound of waving flags.

 

[dud]

This is great news. Assange thinks he is God and that he knows what is good for us (Americans). His assertion is that we would want to know all of this crap that is coming out of the leaks.

What a fool. Nothing good will come of this. I hope they hang the turd.

 

[olds]

Take him out with a tomahawk missile from a drone.

He does not give a shit about what's best for Americans.

He gives a shit about what's good for the rest of us that have to co-habitate on this spinning globe.

You know, the rest of us that are affected by your guys actions. This is a diplomatic embarrassment for the states which I am really glad has happened.

 

[HeXen]

If the gov't doesn't want to embarrass itself, they should not do it to begin with, everyone knows whats right and wrong...i mean what if everything Hitler did was kept a secret? would it even matter?

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

What's the story with this guy assange? I don't keep up with news at all.

You've never said something in an email that wasn't the complete story or because you were angry?

If you think every other country in the world isn't out for their own interests you are nuts. Because you say "down there" I assume you're in Canada. I'm sure your government has plenty of things it says about other countries that would be damaging if it got out. Also, Canada has gotten a significant amount of benefits by sitting directly north of the US and you'd be lying to yourself if you tried to deny that.

What country do you live in? Maybe we need to go there and take over for you. Tune you right up.

Great. Most of the leak is people calling each others names. Amazing. What is going to change as the result of this? Absolutely nothing. It only confirmed exactly what we knew about world diplomacy, that it's fucked up and in a unstable state.

This only hurts good people.

Since when do these scumballs at PayPal worry about crooks using their services? Anyways, I just donated another $60 via MasterCard, there are other donation methods too, I have also e-mailed Wikileaks if I can volunteer at their website or host a mirror site, whatever it takes.

Go go Wilieaks!

LOL

US diplomat says Canadians have "Chip on their shoulder" and feel overshadowed by US
