Visa is denying my Substack subscribers from subscribing because Substack is a "political organization." AMEX is declining as a "do not honor." The truth must be hurting these companies.....
My visa charge went through June 29th. I checked your "merchant description" and it says "Political Organaizations." I have many monthly Substack paid subscriptions and all the others are Merchant description; digital goods-media, books, movies, music? Thought you may want to know this bit if info.
Hmmm. That could be a setting I hit when I launched my substack. While I will go and change it, it still doesn't make sense. Since when do these cards not allow people to subscribe/donate to political organizations?
Yep, exactly! In a broader context as we normally think of political... that would mean that they are potentially tampering in American politics by blacklisting certain people. I'm pretty sure that's illegal ;). I know that you know a very good constitutional lawyer who could tell you for sure.
Checkout:" Legalman @UScrimeReview " on Twitter. He also has a podcast called The Quash. He's exposed everything for what it is. He is absolutely worth a listen.
I was curious to see if any of my subscription payments hadn't cleared. When I looked at the descriptions it was fascinating that they were all the same! Must be an old habit I picked up as an external auditor (Deloitte-formerly Touche Ross) a million years ago!!! LOL.
I just pulled up the Biden Victor Fund and they accept Credit Cards. Since when does any "political organization" not accept credit cards? Foghorn Express is straight up over the target every time. It will backfire. The truth will prevail.
I had my credit card denied by Amazon when I tried to order Dr. Naomi Wolf's book.
I was told that I was not an authorized user of the credit card therefore they could not accept the card. I am the only authorized user of my credit card. No one else's name is on my account.
They will try anything they think they can get away with.
The social credit score. Facebook has blocked me from selling on Facebook Marketplace due to going against their “community standards” in the past. This is affecting my income! Yesterday a friend in my hometown of Marin County said the county fair wasn’t accepting ANY CASH. Not even carnival games.
Cashless society and no freedom of speech. Doesn’t sound like America to keep.
This thing with refusing cash is very ominous. Probably illegal as well, given that the "Federal Reserve" notes say "Legal Tender for all debts, public and private".
But the criminal psychopaths at the wheel don't even pretend to be bound by the law anymore, from what I see.
I was informed by a merchant recently that Massachusetts, where I reside, is the only state in the union where cash MUST be accepted. It is against the law NOT to accept cash.
When I asked about Boston Garden and Fenway Park he told me that they are required to have cash on hand if one wants to pay with cash.
They don't tell you that at these cashless venues though.
Exactly. It’s unlawful but they don’t care. Just like the California mask mandate when no one abided by it or the medical exemption written in it. The police were USELESS at knowing our basic rights.
You're right! This sounds to me like the whole 'mandate' scam. "You must wear a mask to enter our store because it's a mandate". I wonder if using notice of liability or affidavits (Alphonse Faggiolo-style) would work in this case.
I had a situation just this week where I had set up a new Substack about AI - NOT related to vaccines or anything too overtly political and I had to set up a separate Stripe "business" for it connected to my main Stripe account. After I got a few paid subscribers, Stripe put the account on review. I told them it was just a Substack and they wanted all this information about it, including a rough business plan and a "detailed invoice." When I sent the link to the page they finally cleared it. Fortunately I hadn't posted the NSFW AI Trump vs. Biden article yet ( https://aiprognosticator.substack.com/p/ai-trump-debates-ai-biden ).
I had been meaning to write Substack to encourage them to other payment processors...going to do that now because Stripe may end up severing ties here if they think it's too high risk. Honestly, the experience rattled me.
I suspected Substack was going to impose pressure to conform to the orthodoxy - it started way too quickly. That's why I also publish on another site. Thought that too is probably going to pull a fast one. The thing is, are we going to keep taking this? What should we do about it? I have a saying "Only douches censor". We must make sure we alawys uphold free speech and condemn censorship whenever it's done, even between ordinary people.
I have been waiting for Substack to be infiltrated/coerced into going along with the censorship and data selling agenda since I first heard of them. You might want to also consider posting to Odysee.com (https://odysee.com/$/invite/@SurvivalSelfReliance:1). They are a video streaming platform, but you can also write an article, upload a PDF, image, etc.
I haven't looked into it much but they have a way to create a 'membership' that people can join, and ways for people to tip you, boost or repost your content, etc.
Substack does allow us the ready "censorship escape route" letting us use a domain we control, so we can keep our sites going if/when Substack sells us out. Last I checked, they charge a $50 one-time fee to do this. I tell myself I should go through this process and write articles about how to do it. The payment processing thing is a major weak point, given that the banking system is in the hands of "enemies of all mankind" at the Central Bank and payment processing level. There are alternate payment systems we can use to work around this parasitic banking overclass control. The Substack communities may be a good place to bring people to begin using these alternatives.
I think it would be an excellent place to try some new payment system. Writers leading the trend - sounds perfect. Let's do it. I don't have bank accounts which I would like to see people do and figure out other ways of paying - I use cash though and bartering. The utilities need to cater to us not the other way around. People can do this and more when they unite. It also gives ideas to those who may be reluctant.
Of course they want to get rid of cash because its too difficult to control and I'm sure they will outlaw bartering---but that won't stop it. Keep churning out those ideas, girl, we need some fresh ones from those who think out of the box.. Dan
I make online orders through a couple of trusted friends. I give them the link to the product I want and pay them in advance so they don't have to lose anything. And I give them $5 for every transaction as a thank you. Much better than giving it to the bank. This way peers get the beneffits. We can orchesterate a peer-to-peer network anytime we want. "You've gotta be in it to win it"!
Do you suppose that Visa is denying payments to the DNC or RNC or Congressional Candidates? UNBELIEVABLE! This is the First Stage.... the Banks literrally now consider themselves the OWNERS of OUR money! I used my debit card and had no trouble.
Well technically and legally, the money in your bank account IS THEIRS.
I just had my bank (which unbelievably wins the best bank in San Diego award every year for many years now) just made me agree to a new terms and services agreement before I could access my money, or even check my balance. The agreement was 105 pages of legalese. Then there were 2 others documents with links to download and no explanation if I was accepting them too or not. I assume I was. One was 30+ pages, the other about 8 pages. So I had to agree to whatever they had in that document before I could check my balance which I needed to do before I sent a payment out.
Time to change banks…there are still Credit Unions as well if theyve all signed onto this insanity. If “our money belongs to them” and you agree to it in writing then youve given it to them to dispose of as they please. I dont know, maybe its time we took our rights back!
My thoughts exactly!! I am a teacher and a coach! But my free essays call out Big p-HARM-a and I have had regular subscribers contact me after being unable to do their annual renewal. rrrrr
Truth puts them in prison. Did you you they have already been indicted for crimes against Humanity. It is WWII all over again. As before Hitler has swept through Europe and Japan has delta a death toll. Except this time there is no turning the tide of War in WWIII. Which the WEF has published a story titled the same.
I left twitter a few days ago when I couldn't like, retweet, or tweet because twitter said I seemed to be a bot. I was kicked off in Jan 2020 and just recently returned to campaign for Bobby, and felt dysregulated every time I signed on, so I'm glad to be out of that shit hole, but was making progress with my goal of campaigning for RFK Jr. there.
I'm so sorry to hear this! I pay-subscribe to very few things as a full time unpaid caregiver, so I am spared all this drama. But I hope you can work around this somehow. You mention below that smaller amounts go through. You may need to break annual payments into multiple smaller ones, or something like that. I wish you the best of luck getting this handled. I've learned so much in the few months I've had the free subscription to your substack... you provide a very valuable service and deserve any compensation you can get!
I am a paid subscriber to only one substack. I use AMEX and have never had a problem. With regard to the Visa card holders perhaps they should find a community bank instead of Capitol One. I deep sixed them decades ago.
Sorry to say this. I believe my Activism is partly to blame. I seam to have resources others only dream of and not secretive of my plans. Unfortunately we are in a time and place. We can live free and be unsafe or die peacefully as a slave.
Both the CDC shill's interview facilitated and promoted by the 'great minds' at substack inc. and your own post about the AUS bills (proposed and/or already passed) are horrifying...for different reasons.
Thanks for the to-do list. I will write Carolyn Kennedy at the address you provided (AskEmbassyCanberra@state.gov) and let her know what I, as a US citizen, think about the state of affairs in the country to which she is posted as US ambassador.
Regarding the CDC shill, I'm not surprised she's using nauseatingly pointless anti-intellectual buzz phrases like "side hustle" and "node in a grassroots information-diffusion network" (ick). And then she claims her accounts were hacked during the height of COVID-ClownWorld by anti-vaxxers. Really? Is she sure about that? What is the proof? She says she has a friend who worked at Facebook headquarters and that's how she got her pages back. How does she know the hack wasn't corporate-state actors posing as anti-vaxxers? (What anti-vaxxer has time to troll a CDC shill in the middle of an all-out WWIII bioweapon attack on the entire population of the world?) Very 'scientific' of her to make the claim and offer no proof. Just like we've come to expect from CDC and their ilk.
Yeah - the whole interview was nauseating. Wouldn't be surprised if she didn't exist and was just some CIA frontispiece. Thank you kindly for your support.
Once Central Bank Digital Currencies are established, this kind of shenanigans will be "baked in."
Riiigth?
CBDC controlled by your social credit score,social credit score is how well and how much you obey.Complete slavery.
CBDC is the beginning of the end of the human race. The elite will continue on, but they're not human.
Based on your "unhappytocomply" screen name, may I offer:

True, the elite are not "humane humans," but have evolved to be an inhuman inhumane sub-species.

But, thanks for the heads up anyhow!
Since Geoengineering?
Yep, exactly! In a broader context as we normally think of political... that would mean that they are potentially tampering in American politics by blacklisting certain people. I'm pretty sure that's illegal ;). I know that you know a very good constitutional lawyer who could tell you for sure.

Great investigating to uncover that!

maybe listed as political when you were running for Gov?
This is appalling. Apparently Any truth platform is political now? This censorship is out of control. Thanks for the awareness.

Isn't it droll that we have to pay for information and jump all these hoops to do it to boot.
Unfortunately we must choose between paid or truth.

From what I understand, your money is legally "theirs"! And bail-ins are legal too in most countries I am aware of.
EVERYONE needs to understand what a bail-in is and how they work. They need to hear the story of what happened to the residents of Cypress!
I don't know what a bail-in is. and my sister is going to spend some time in Cyprus, can you send a link for that story? thanks
That is correct.
Well technically and legally, the money in your bank account IS THEIRS.
I just had my bank (which unbelievably wins the best bank in San Diego award every year for many years now) just made me agree to a new terms and services agreement before I could access my money, or even check my balance.

Start the Lawsuits!! Hit 'em where it hurts......$$$$$$!!!!
Complain to the bank regulators. Many states have laws against this kind of action by a business open to the public.
Regulatory capture. Corruption to the core.
And the boycotts
Yes, but who pays for them? The DS have unlimited pockets for defense attorneys and we can hardly scrape funds for our side.
Yep, it's happened to me too.
I just checked out your substack... it doesn't look controversial. So what the heck?
