Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

PayPal blocks German counterjihad site PI News

Aug 24, 2017 9:18 am By Robert Spencer

This is why I didn’t restore the PayPal button on the sidebar when they unblocked the Jihad Watch account. Clearly this was a concerted, organized effort to choke off funding for counterjihad sites not just in the U.S., but all over the world, and many of these groups have not had their accounts restored. Moreover, the effort to choke us off continues.

“PayPal blocks account for PI donations,” translated from “PayPal sperrt Konto für PI-Spenden,” PI News, August 23, 2017 (thanks to Andrew):

Islam is terrorizing the whole world. The blood of “unbelievers” is shed in a unique trail of hatred and murder.

Whoever does not want to play this cruel game at the edge of a genocide, who says what he sees, calls the truth by name, is fought by this unholy alliance. Now this fight is really going on.

It was first the deletion teams in social networks, the controlling and systematic readjusting of the algorithms of search engines, and the merciless criminalization of simple citizens and their opinions.

Now the monetary bleeding shall begin

In an apparently worldwide concerted action, PayPal is currently systematically blocking the accounts of, above all, Islam-critical blogs and individuals. Within a few days, two of the sharpest Islamic-critical US websites received a letter from the group, and PI is now affected. The PI donation account has been blocked to PI because of its “type of activity.”

The wording is apparently the same for all, with only different addressees:

We have recently reviewed your usage of PayPal’s services, as reflected in
our records and on your website http://www.pi-news.net/ .. Due to
the nature of your activities, we have chosen to discontinue service to you
in accordance with PayPal’s User Agreement. As a result, we have placed a
permanent limitation on your account.

We ask that you please remove all references to PayPal from your website.
This includes removing PayPal as a payment option, as well as the PayPal
logo and/or shopping cart.

If you have a remaining balance, you may withdraw the money to your bank
account. Information on how to withdraw money from your PayPal account can
be found via our Help Center.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you have any questions or
need our support, please contact the PayPal Brand Risk Management
Department at aup@paypal.com.

Sincerely,
Tanya

Pamela Geller, who not only runs a website, but also repeatedly takes effective media actions against Islam (PI-NEWS reported here and here), which have up to now been protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which guarantees freedom of the press and freedom of opinion, was also sent a letter of the same wording, as was Robert Spencer, who runs the site Jihad Watch.

Islam and the Left against People

Obviously, Islam takes more control of the world every day. There are more than ambitious helpers here: left-wing ethicists and their own people-hating groups and individuals, such as George Soros. Jihad Watch reported that, among others, ProPublica, funded by George Soros, had been called to classify and block sites like Jihad Watch as hate sites.

PI is also affected. We received the message last week. The truth is a dangerous warrior and the word her sharp sword. This weapon and others is to be beaten from our hand – obviously by all means, because this action is presumably still one of the more harmless, and more is likely to come….

        You forget other important non-pc sites as Journalistenwatch.org or europenews.dk, mm-news.de. Also the sites of Pax Europa, David Berger or Vera Lengsfeld. All these sites are publishing what MSM don´t. In Austria there is Andreas Unterberger.

    “We ask that you please remove all references to PayPal from your website.”

    How about this option PayPal. A prominent reference to PayPal being boycotted due to its support for global terrorism, genocide, and oppressive anti-free speech tactics.

    If all affected websites don’t stand together, they will all be driven underground separately!

        I still hope for the Germans to wake up. Resistance is increasing. Merkel is touring the Country due to the campaign swing. In every town she showed up so far there was a small but loud resistance. (Merkel must go, deceiver and so on). But most conservatives have to work all day and can not go there, so I hope they will rise against the government on September 24th.

    The world of mankind is being forced to bow to the wild beast, in order to be allowed to “buy and sell.” this means people are being forced to worship the devil or be punished for not doing so.

    ” Ich werde niemanden unterstützen , der sich dem Islamterror unterwirft und Seiten die diesen kritisiert verweigern ein Paypal account zu nutzen .

      I closed my account as well but either wasn’t given or missed the step where you could state the reason.

    Apparently Cloufare’s Matthew Prince has some second thoughts about playing “gatekeeper”.

    Initially:

    “I woke up in a bad mood and decided someone shouldn’t be allowed on the internet.”
    “My rationale for making this decision was simple: the people behind the Daily Stormer are assholes and I’d had enough.”

    Now:

    Prince added that “It doesn’t sit right to have a private company, invisible but ubiquitous, making editorial decisions about what can and cannot be online. The pre-internet analogy would be if Ma Bell listened in on phone calls and could terminate your line if it didn’t like what you were talking about.”

    Yah Thunk it?? A bit late to wake up.

    Sure there are other ways to send you my contributions. It is of course flabberghasting how PayPal thinks it should manipulate us. Please tell us how to donate and I will try to help.

    The speed and zeal with which these people hit anti-Jihad sites is absolutely flabbergasting.
    They have NO zeal to block PRO-Jihad sites; in fact, they favor PRO-Jihad sites because they share the goals.

    Hi time to start looking for an alternative to PayPal. Any suggestion ?

    • Joe says

      Paypal has a lot of competitors with credit cards being the dominant force. Besides credit cards, I haven’t used any of the others except Skrill who was required by a foreign contractor. I’m not recommending Skrill; I just used them once.

    …………….

    And the effort to shut down all criticism of Jihad continues apace…

    How about using Western Union?

    Muslim terrorists use PayPal to transfer their ill gotten monies and that is fine with liberal beasts at PayPal-estinian murderers terror supporting business.
