Boycott Visa

by fuck Visa
I see Visa on IMC's donation "Paypal" site. activists need to disassociate themselves from corporate assholes for security reasons
Richard Held, Cointelpro expert, quit his job as head of northern Californias FBI office the day after he was included by a federal judge in the Judi Bari lawsuit. He went on to become head of VISAs security office. this is NOT THE APPROPRATE PLACE TO CHANNEL ACTIVIST DONATIONS THROUGH !!! He and his dad, Richard Held senior were top FBI COINTELPRO agents, and are connected to numerous murders of AIM and Black Panther activists, besides the Judi Bari car bombing. i know it is hard to give up a lucrative fundraising device, but look up "Richard Held" in the index of Agents of Repression, an excellent book by John Trudell.
by oops
the author is Ward Churchill, not John Trudell. the rest of the information is correct. my apologies. fuck VISA.
by Dave
Does this mean you will no longer use VISA? Good, because you probably have crappy credit, which drives up the cost for the rest of us.
by hey Dave why are you so scared?
Is it because you can't participate in a meaningful discussion on the issues, as that would mean you'd have to know something beyond inflammatory rant/raves?
