MasterCard's No 'Buy' List?

Posted on Thursday, July 05 at 08:44 by truepatriot
I don’t know about you but I feel much safer knowing that a prepaid card financial company like Mint Inc. is also watching out for our safety and security and has volunteered to become another corporate branch of our government intelligence infrastructure. Maybe debit card, library card and even our video store membership card applications can also be compared against the secret list. Heck, why don’t we all just get chipped? That should flush out the evil terrorists, don’t you think?

Just when you think it’s safe and the absurdity has subsided. What's next?

    " Mint Inc. also validates Card User identity against known terrorist names."

    One should be asking - where did they get and why do they have the list of names on the terror watch list?

    Strike that - if this is their policy, you don't need to give them your money. One of my plastic cards recently changed their privacy policy so that while I hold their card, they can do what they want with my info and details of my purchases (opt-out policies are illegal, but technically they aren't charging me and money for this new 'feature'). So, I dropped them and let them know why.

    Vote with your wallet.

    isn't it at this point where thoughts skitter to, "Well,if you aren't doing anything wrong you have nothing to worry about!"
    On the Morning of September 11th as I watched those two planes crashinto the towers I instinctively knew that what few freedoms were left ould also vanish in the name of 'terr'ism'

    It has been for hundreds of years nowthat various self styles 'elites' have plotted, and advanced, their agendii.

    I can say no more. except to repete the warnings of those who went before me
    "Strike the Root!"

    But, who will do so?
    I have been cautiones that much of what I offer is unwanted and that it would be best for all if i were to be banned.
    Perhaps this is so.

    Perhaps it will be best for all to resign themselves to whatever plans are hatched for our "betterment"

    Diogenes,

    Small consolation perhaps, but if you get banned I will no longer frequent this discussion group.

    Caving in to the CJC was bad enough, but banning someone who speaks the truth obvious to all observing eyes would make this site of no interest to me.

    "Give 'em 'ell!"
    Thank you for your support! it is especially welcome as i have been more than rude toward (some of)yourposts

    As for'ell they havis in spades and of their own making
    all I do is hold up amirror for us to see ourselves in

    It is interesting, though that the Dr Sachs article remains in view of one of mine on the same subject was removed


    There is a simple truth to be upheld. Zionisn is a political movement , it is not a race any more than Catholism is.

    <p>Can't seem to access the Terms and Conditons anymore, hmmm....a copy can be found <a href="http://www.truthforum.ca/blog/MINT_MC_TERMS.pdf">here</a></p> <blockquote>Perhaps it will be best for all to resign themselves to whatever plans are hatched for our "betterment"</blockquote><b>Never</b>...Resignation to acquiescence is the 'expected' outcome to the fear tools and the only really effective weapon in their arsenal. Resistance is NOT futile, our silence and acquiescence is the only power they have, the seed of the root. Don't plant it and you won't have to strike it.

    That's ok. MasterCard, Amex, et all are on my "No credit list".

    I use cash and/or debit card.

    Who needs 18% interest a year anyway?

If you gotta use credit you can't afford it. Then again our cash is based on debt...darn just when you think you are out they drag you back in :)
