It can’t be helped that the CIA, which paid for all the original Big Tech picked all the good names.

How will he achieve this without the cooperation of the credit card companies and major banks?

VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Chase, Citi, Bank of America, even China's HSBC, etc. are all woke.

Does he plan to use only crypto currency?

I’m done with social media and online payment processors. I can’t afford for them to change their terms and cancel my account or charge me fees for wrong think. FR is ok, but if it goes to OL advertisement then I will leave it, too. I will support FR from now on by a monthly money order from the USPS.

What about GayPay? We can promote it as a payment service for traditional happy people.

He might start a credit card company. Anybody can start one, if they meet the regulatory requirements.

He is talking about a complete alternate economy. Yeah, I guess that means a private bank.

May God Bless Andrew Torba!

Lots of people complain about what the communists and Satanists are doing.

Torba actually offers solutions.

Yes. A parallel economy and parallel society. No leftists allowed because we all know leftists ruin everything they touch.

I Have a debit card, credit card, a check book and cash.

Serious question. Why would I ever need any of these services?

Yeah, he'd have to start his own credit card company. Tough to do. Lots of international legal and regulatory hurdles.

But a credit card company is useless without support from banks. So he'd have to start his own bank. Again, A LOT of legal and regulatory hurdles. Plus, he'd need depositors.

The above is hard enough, but there's an additional problem. The entire woke establishment -- EU, Federal Reserve, ADL, SPLC, World Bank, NGOs, etc. -- will wage war on him from the top. While Antifa, BLM, etc., will harass from the bottom.

That's why this has failed before.

I read of some "free speech" payment processor that went online a while back. It failed because Antifa organized a campaign to buy lots of goods with it, then demanded charge backs, saying their card was used fraudulently, or that the goods were defective, or whatever. This company was deluged with charge-backs. Forced them out of business.

I tried to google info on it. All I found was this (I don't know if it relates to the above): New alt-right payment processor. How long to burn it down?

Any free speech payment processor will be seen as "fascist" and will be faced with organized opposition from above and from below.

Gab has been hit with everything the Satanists have come up with and Gab still stands.

Payment processors are used by vendors who don’t want to set up their own payment processing infrastructure. Lots of people want to receive payments but don’t want to set up and operate their own secure payment processor. These people use third-party payment processors.

Because the banks they are issued through are going to tell you what you cannot buy

Banks don’t have to be large to function.
On Trump’s show, The Apprentice, aan named Troy started a bank in his town from the ground up. His net worth was only about $3 million.
