Yesterday I published
an email from Soros-funded ProPublica’s Lauren Kirchner, threatening to
use the Southern Poverty Law Center’s spurious hate group listing to
pressure various platforms to drop Jihad Watch. Kirchner apparently was
angered by having her fascism publicly exposed, since even though she
sent her threatening letter to many people, today at 1:45PM, ProPublica
published its hit piece, and it led off with me:Because of its “extreme hostility toward Muslims,” the website Jihadwatch.org is considered an active hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League. The views of the site’s director, Robert Spencer, on Islam led the British Home Office to ban him from entering the country in 2013.Within hours, PayPal bowed to this defamation. At 6:02PM, I got this email from PayPal:
But its designation as a hate site hasn’t stopped tech companies — including PayPal, Amazon and Newsmax — from maintaining partnerships with Jihad Watch that help to sustain it financially. PayPal facilitates donations to the site. Newsmax — the online news network run by President Donald Trump’s close friend Chris Ruddy — pays Jihad Watch in return for users clicking on its headlines. Until recently, Amazon allowed Jihad Watch to participate in a program that promised a cut of any book sales that the site generated. All three companies have policies that say they don’t do business with hate groups.
RE: Notice of PayPal Account LimitationAnd please help us keep going: donate via check to Robert Spencer, 1040 1st Ave. #121, New York, NY 10022. Your donation helps me, among other things, appear at worthy events that can’t fund my appearance, and keeps our website operating.

PayPal
The SPLC lumps legitimate groups in with real hate groups in order to defame its political foes, but PayPal allowed no discussion, no appeal. It acted as judge, jury, and executioner.
In reality, I oppose jihad mass murder. PayPal apparently thinks that makes me a “hatemonger.” I oppose the murder of people who decide in conscience to leave Islam. PayPal thinks that makes me a “right-wing extremist.” I oppose honor killings, female genital mutilation, scripturally-sanctioned wife-beating, etc. PayPal thinks that means I am too hateful to use their service.
So: if you support the work of Jihad Watch, close your PayPal account now. Contact them and tell them why. Tell all your friends that PayPal has bowed to Left-fascism, and to boycott it.
The Left is moving in for the kill now and trying to delegitimize and silence all voices of dissent. Don’t allow this rapidly creeping totalitarianism to succeed.
