David Horowitz: Visa, Mastercard Cut Off Payments to My Think Tank Based on SPLC ‘Hate Group’ Label
Breitbart ^ | August 23, 2018

Posted on 08/23/2018 10:58:10 PM PDT by grundle

The David Horowitz Freedom Center has had their donation processing system blocked by Visa and Mastercard allegedly following a campaign by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Visa has since contacted Breitbart News to deny involvement in the blacklisting of the Freedom Center.

The David Horowitz Freedom Center stated in a recent email that its ability to accept donations by credit card has been disabled by both Visa and Mastercard following a campaign by the SPLC to label the Freedom Center as a hate group. This situation comes shortly after Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch was forced off the funding platform Patreon following pressure from Mastercard.

The Freedom Center is the next target of the SPLC, and they are using Mastercard and Visa again in their attempt to shut down conservative voices. In an email sent to supporters, Horowitz outlined how the SPLC had convinced Mastercard and Visa to block the Freedom Center from receiving payments and donations via credit card. In the email, Horowitz requested that supporters send donations via check to a P.O. Box.

In the email to supporters, the Freedom Center lashed out at the move by Mastercard and Visa, saying: “this blow could be the end of the Freedom Center. Decades of work, down the drain because the hateful Left wants to squash free speech and silence an organization that dares to question them.

Amex doesn’t hate Jews like Horowitz, right?

Maybe a RICO suit is in order.

SPLC, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter... all and more conspiring against innocent parties.

Lawsuit time. A bank cuts off your service because another private business slandered you. Where to begin? Line up attorneys, get rich.

Yes.

SPLC has been successfully sued for their politically biased labeling of individuals and groups. VISA, MC and Facebook can no longer hide behind SPLC's unlawful acts and think they have clean hands.

Sad thing. WE have the Whitehouse, congress and senate.

The conservative base better come out midterms or else we’re done.

Rush mentioned this morning that the second amendment was under attack from corporate America. Now this. There is an organized campaign going on behind the scenes.

No kidding. I can’t believe how stupid these corporations are to take it upon themselves to squash peoples rights unjustly. The SPLC is a hate group in my opinion. Let the lawsuits commence.

The Communist Southern Law and Poverty Center is part of a coordinated attack against Conservatives. I would not be surprised if George Soros’ hand is in this.
