PayPal ‘deplatforms’ Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher after fundraiser for fired Marine who spoke out against Afghan disaster

Retired U.S. Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher said on Wednesday that PayPal “deplatformed” his Pipe Hitter Foundation after setting up a fundraiser for Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller, the Marine officer who went viral for demanding accountability after the chaotic evacuation from Afghanistan.

“Just hours after launching our campaign for LtCol Scheller he has been deplatformed by @paypal,” Gallagher said in his Wednesday Facebook post. “Big Tech has been doing this for years to silence, crush, and intimidate individuals and their families and destroy their livelihoods.”

Gallagher shared a screenshot of the notice he received from PayPal, which said, “After a review, we decided to permanently limit your account as we found potential risk associated with it.”

Apparently aiding American patriots is now 'risky' to the hate America crowd.

Pure Evil. This all is a dress rehearsal for the NWO/Tribulation with a capital T.

Well the good news is all the big players are outing themselves totally. When the fun starts I’m not sure I’d want to be on the side that pissed off the Seals or any special warfare fighters that still believe in the constitution.

Everyone needs to remember that PayPal is Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Luke Nosek and others who collect billions in US Gov contracts.

But they feel free to engage in discrimination with their little payment processing platform.

Nice to get money from the rubes while screwing them, right?

While focus on national politics for guys like Gallagher is heroic, as its an uphill battle against the Fed.gov/printed money/tech/media nexus - its really time to go local, train citizens in your skills, prepare for local and state governance instead of Fed.gov

PayPal was Musk’s brainchild, but he’s been disassociated with them for years. PayPal is your typical leftist big tech entity now.

It appears that most of the country could care less about the constitution, or freedom for that matter.

Neither Musk or Thiel are currently associated with PayPal. They helped found it, yeah - but it’s been leftist controlled for years.

This is political activism. They are working 100% for the democrat party. The left has the power to terminate our economic life. Payment processors. Credit cards. Bank checking accounts.

The government knows this is going on, and will absolutely not do anything to stop it. So the government is doing it by proxy.

This account recently gave money to this forum. What if the credit card company takes a hint from the SPLC and refuses to process the payment? Or harasses this forum, or the poster?

The USA already has a social credit score. It was implemented with the full knowledge and tacit consent of the government. Therefore the government is doing it by proxy.

The idea of freedom is an illusion. They keep us fat, dumb and happy, and once in a while pick off one for the slaughter house. That keeps the rest in line.

I have never understood why anyone would need PayPal.

They sold the company but I believe all of them still have stock. May be wrong, not gonna waste time reading the 10K.

At minimum they could say something, but their silence is notable.

Funny how all these wonderful immigrant business creeps didn’t hear about the riots in the early ‘60s in the US over the concept that you can’t refuse to serve people based on their beliefs. “Race, color or creed” I believe is what we were told.

So... PP is holding everyone’s financial information hostage...

They have your data for life...
You cannot “quit” PayPal...

You can still log in and peek out through the bars...

Paypal is protecting the State narrative because Paypal is part of the State.

Complete BS, Elon sold paypal in 2002. It pisses me off when people like you go around shooting their mouth off with not a clue about they are talking about.

Whatever happened to the rumor that PayPal founder Peter Thiel, though gay, was a fairly conservative Republican?

I’ve used it often over the years, when I bought and sold items on Ebay, I used Paypal for payments, I still use today for items I purchase that I do not feel 100% certain about..

I keep very little money it usually under $1000 dollars just to make sure if I ever get hacked the thieves will get away with a relative little amount of money....

Basically it’s a 3rd party payment system that I use to protect my main accounts that I rarely every use for online purchases....

Glad you’re PO’d, junior, check back with me when you can tell me the retained options in Thiel’s Roth IRA or Nosek’s venture funds or even Musk’s personal portfolio.
