4.14pm: Charles Arthur, the Guardian's technology editor, points out that while MasterCard and Visa have cut WikiLeaks off you can still use those cards to donate to overtly racist organisations such as the Knights Party, which is supported by the Ku Klux Klan.
The Ku Klux Klan website directs users to a site called Christian Concepts. It takes Visa and MasterCard donations for users willing to state that they are "white and not of racially mixed descent. I am not married to a non-white. I do not date non-whites nor do I have non-white dependents. I believe in the ideals of western Christian civilisation and profess my belief in Jesus Christ as the son of God."
For the moment, I believe the only ways to donate to Wikileaks are these below.

Product Description
The batch of 250,000 US classified documents released by WikiLeaks to several news outlets, some of whose content was made public Sunday, sheds new light on the sordid nature of American imperialist intrigue and conspiracy around the globe.
The Author will analyze the documents more thoroughly in a subsequent article, but "highlights" published by the Guardian and the New York Times are revealing.
The leaked material consists of classified cables from US embassies, some dispatched as recently as early 2010. The cables, most of which date from 2007-2010, contain US officials' comments on foreign governments and leaders and speculation about the activities and maneuvers of the latter, as well as details about American foreign policy operations.
In a revelation that should surprise no one, the US State Department and American diplomacy in general turn out to be a vast nest of spies.
The Guardian explains that the WikiLeaks documents "reveal how the US uses its embassies as part of a global espionage network, with diplomats tasked to obtain not just information from the people they meet, but personal details, such as frequent flyer numbers, credit card details and even DNA material.
Holy Bullshit!:elefant:
Do read the customer reviews, maybe you want to write one as well?
Ahem, just checked what other things this Heinz Duthel wrote, and I must say, bizarre...

It is all about money...not ethics, morality nor political conviction.....no surprise there.....

Flattr is a micropayment system - more specifically, a microdonation system.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flattr
Flattr - Social micropayments
But if my reading of their FAQ is correct (link at bottom of page), Wikileaks will require a functioning PayPal account to get the money out since PayPal is currently the only withdrawal mechanism offered. They're going to have to do something about that.
That seemed to be a good observation.
So I mailed them about it.
Quote:pengarna går via stiftelsen Wau Holland Stiftung, som är knuten till wikileaks
They transfer the money throuh the Wau Holland Stiftung.
Seems they have to re-write the FAQ...
