It was a matter of time before someone brought this subject up ;)
The refusal of paypal, mastercard and visa to process payments to wikileaks is something i have watched with concern. Effectively, the victim has been denied the acceptance of gifts and payments without any court involvement. What this means for freedom and justice i leave to your own conclusions.
Should not any action be directed to all three or four organizations? But i doubt anything is achieved by denying ourselves gifts.
I wish you joy and happiness, teun spaans

I suggest that use of Paypal is contraindicated due to their deliberate efforts to inhibit the spread of information by closing their account with Wikileaks. It is inappropriate for Wiki to be associated with Paypal or Amazon.com. These corporations are the opposite of what Wikipedia and associated entities hope to be or currently are. Closing the account with Paypal will also send a message to Amazon that there are consequences to efforts to censor the knowledge base of humanity.
Thanks for reading this. I hope to see debate and action on this proposal.
