Also no longer use paypal - shut my account down during The Canadian Freedom Convoy (truckers).

EXACTLY!!! Thanks for reminding everyone how PayPal, Elon Musk's creation, jumped the second that Turdeau said "frog." The next "foreign" country the U.S. invades should be the junction of U.S. 101 @ CA Hwy 84 (where Facebook's offices are located, Google's just a few freeway exits north of there; keep going north and you'll run into YouTube up San Bruno way and Twitter up on Market Street in S.F. ), with a Chinese container-boat load of TP, hah hah haaaaah!

Yeah? Well, I don't like PayPal. They ask for your SSN-- WHY???

PLEASE NOTE: PAYPAL IS NOT "THE LAW." THEY ARE NOT EVEN THE IRS. DO. N-O-O-T COMPLY. And even when you DO report all your earnings, D-O N-O-T C-O-M-P-L-Y!!!

Guess Who started PayPal, and WHO he's put "in charge" at Twitter???

AND DON'TCHY'ALL GO RUNNIN' OVER TO VENMO WHERE YOU CAN TELL EVERYONE IN THE WORLD WHAT YOU JUST BOUGHT AND HOW MUCH YOU PAID FOR IT-- DUHHHH~!!!

I'm believe PayPal owns Venmo too. I'm not a 100% positive. PayPal withheld a $20 donation I'd made to a conservative newsletter for over a year due to I wouldn't provide a copy of my driver's license. My husband and I both deactivated our accounts! They recently sent me an email it was resolved. After I ignored them they requested...just login and you can request a check to be mailed to you if you don't want it going to your bank. Piss off...keep the $20 was my thoughts! Outlook has recently locked me out saying same thing...copy of legal id that we'll delete as soon as confirmed. SAME issue with LinkedIn! I can live without all 3! And people using PayPal don't need my money that bad apparently! How dumb can a conservative be to use it for a conservative cause?!

This is HUGE-- WHY is PayPal acting like a STASI official, demanding you give over your DRIVER'S LICENSE to pay for a subscription to a publication? THAT IS ILLEGAL SEIZURE!! Okay, we need to get this TRUTH out to the public. THESE SNOTTY OVERGROWN CHILDREN OF LUCIFER DOWN IN SILI VALLEY NEED TO BE LYNCHED IN THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION. SHOW THE PUBLIC WHAT THEY'RE HAVING NO PROBLEM DOING TO OUR CIVIL RIGHTS, USING THE CONSTITUTION LIKE TOILET PAPER. YES, the KIDS need CIVICS back in the schools, taught from the actual UNADULTERATED ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS!

Oh I flat told them hell will freeze over before I send you a copy of my driver's license! I said my bank didn't even require that even after I got married! Just changed my name and called it good. I had LinkedIn do the same thing. I was always getting warnings for my conservative comments to all the supposedly educated librards on there! One day went to look at account and I had to login...I hadn't logged out. Then I guess I got one letter or number wrong and boom locked out and got a notice to get back in I had to provide a government issued id. Nope! NOW look who we find out the owner is!!! The pos that funded the broad who said Trump raped her (in a dagum dressing room at tha) attorneys fees! I fell for that get certified crap with Parler because after leaving Fascistbook and realizing just how many accounts were bots or paid instigators with MANY accounts I thought then people will know I'm real. Boom they got shut down and Lord only knows what happened to my personal information!!! NEVER AGAIN!

I understand that PayPal owns Venmo!

Yeah. Owned by the same outfit. I am not recommending either. Electronic banking spyware.

However they had the gall to try to establish a fine...think it was $2500...if they didn’t like what you post on social media. I deleted right then. This isn’t China...yet.

Again, Bhakti saved my life. You do not have to prove to me his worth.

Paypal, however, is just waiting to put me out of business.

Uh, I let you go first.

I feel the same way about Paypal...let us know if there is another safe way to insure they can receive donation. We need to assist our honored scientists/physicians when they come under such erroneous egregious governmental attack.

I won’t use PayPal...unfortunately unless it’s give send go I will not donate.

Like another poster here, the moment PayPal politicized its operation, I closed my account.

The only way to keep finance and politics separate is to boycott any entity that commingles the two. Anheuser-Busch and Disney are learning that fact painfully.

You are quite correct, that the devil is ubiquitous. But there is the devil we know, and the devil we don’t know. I tolerate the former WITH ALL DUE DILIGENCE, and I avoid the latter.

Paypal will shut you down for "spreading misinformation" and should be avoided.

The thing is, he is in Germany so if everyone sends a check there will be huge fees from most banks to convert to Euros. Using a payment system solves that problem.

Some people said they were able to send $ and others said it did not work for them. Can anyone explain how to use it?

I have a 20 year old paypal account I use at most once a year and I give them no info. Same with substack, which asked me for personal info. I told them no, and they left me alone.

I sent to jeff Childers of coffee and Covid Substack. Jeff has successfully multiplied many legal campaigns

Here’s more information about the charges and the case against him.

God speed to him. The man is a hero.

And we all know how the powers that be feel about people like him.

Me too. We have to defend his peaceful and humane being. 🙏🏻What a cruelty to go after Sucharit Bhakti.

Meryl should rename this essay to:

"Let’s hear from people who don’t like or use PayPal."

Why not ask if there is another option to donate to him?

Hello Meryl - would Sucharit and Karina please start a GiveSendGo account? Thanks and best to you all.

Thanks for this info. I just made a donation via PayPal to support Dr. Bhakdi.

It seems like the lesson here is not to make comparisons to the ‘H’ word event from ~1939--1945,as you will thereby put a big target on your back as it will be too easy for the modern day facials that you are castigating for their atrocities to take your reference out of context and try you for ‘hate’ speech.

Better to make the comparison to Stalin or Stalinesque behavior or Pol Pot--both are dead & were to Western sensibilities indiscriminate in their brutality.

As far as the second charge, perhaps a safer analogy ( but more obscure for non-westerners and non-Christians) would be Matthew 23:15, the odious demands of the Pharisees upon the new convert to Judaism.

It doesn’t help him now, but a lesson for us all.

Well, crumb. I dumped PayPal when they went full woketard.

Is he counter suing?

Left a small payment of 33 euros... and yes if you send as a gift... there is no fee taken.. this guy needs those of us sickened by the lies of those we should trust ... who are hellbent on silencing people like Dr Bhakti...please support him in his hour of need.
