This is why I didn’t restore the PayPal button on the sidebar when
they unblocked the Jihad Watch account. Clearly this was a concerted,
organized effort to choke off funding for counterjihad sites not just in
the U.S., but all over the world, and many of these groups have not had
their accounts restored. Moreover, the effort to choke us off
continues.
“PayPal blocks account for PI donations,” translated from “PayPal sperrt Konto für PI-Spenden,” PI News, August 23, 2017 (thanks to Andrew):
Islam is terrorizing the whole world. The blood of “unbelievers” is shed in a unique trail of hatred and murder.
Whoever does not want to play this cruel game at the edge of a genocide, who says what he sees, calls the truth by name, is fought by this unholy alliance. Now this fight is really going on.
It was first the deletion teams in social networks, the controlling and systematic readjusting of the algorithms of search engines, and the merciless criminalization of simple citizens and their opinions.
Now the monetary bleeding shall begin
In an apparently worldwide concerted action, PayPal is currently systematically blocking the accounts of, above all, Islam-critical blogs and individuals. Within a few days, two of the sharpest Islamic-critical US websites received a letter from the group, and PI is now affected.

Islam and the Left against People
Obviously, Islam takes more control of the world every day. There are more than ambitious helpers here: left-wing ethicists and their own people-hating groups and individuals, such as George Soros. Jihad Watch reported that, among others, ProPublica, funded by George Soros, had been called to classify and block sites like Jihad Watch as hate sites.
PI is also affected. We received the message last week. The truth is a dangerous warrior and the word her sharp sword. This weapon and others is to be beaten from our hand – obviously by all means, because this action is presumably still one of the more harmless, and more is likely to come….
