Catherine Austin Fitts thinks that the powers that be are slowly moving us to an all digital currency that is "gate controlled" so that once they have everyone completely digital - they can control when and if you spend your money. It will be subtle but imagine if they don't let you access your accounts because you don't fall in line -- or if they want to kill competition or businesses you support. An all digital currency and control by govt and the banksters is an absolute nightmare scenario for all Americans and anyone worldwide.

TOO LATE FOR STRIPE - they already dropped GiveSendGo:

"The payment processor that was being used for this campaign shut down our ability to fundraise, but GiveSendGo was able to find another payment solution to keep the campaign going!"


This is so f'd up

Story is picked up on some news sites:

I would expect it to get to Fox soon

As always, when you read something that doesn't sound right, it's probably false or misleading.

I couldn't find a single MSM article, or business media, to back up this claim.

After googling and reading through the terms of GiveSendGo, it appears to me that they charge a fee (to the user? to the credit card company? I don't know) for every donation they get by credit card.

And Discover has decided not to do business with GiveSendGo, a shadier and more confusing cousin of GoFundMe.

It looks as simple as that.

If someone can find a MSM article, or business media, that states Discover has tried not to allow their credit card holders to donate to this shooter's fundraising effort, please post it. And no, Reddit isn't MSM.

Because you know, cha ching.

I suspect GiveSendGo either got a LOT of customer tech issues, charged Discover a lot, something, that it was no longer profitable for Discover to work with them.

Because businesses make decisions based on their profits, not to be punitive to otherwise profitable ventures.

Sure, one of those amazing coincidences in life. Discover just so happens to zap GiveSendGo when the Rittenhouse fundraisers are underway.

This might be a purely business decision, but not GSG tech issues, charges, shadiness. Discover might figure they'll gain more cardholders than lose by cutting off GSG. Then again, they might take a small loss to be leftishly correct.

I thought conservatives were against regulating the credit card companies? It's liberals that side with consumers. Sorry.
