MasterCard also said it would block payments to WikiLeaks, according to the CNET News website, a move that will dry up another source of funds for the website.
"MasterCard is taking action to ensure that WikiLeaks can no longer accept MasterCard-branded products," a spokesman for MasterCard Worldwide said yesterday.
The credit card firm said it was cutting off payments because WikiLeaks was engaging in "illegal activity". "MasterCard rules prohibit customers from directly or indirectly engaging in or facilitating any action that is illegal," its spokesman, Chris Monteiro said. The online credit firm PayPal has already refused to allow payments through for WikiLeaks.

The absurdity and hypocrisy of it all! The big Drug Dealers, the Mass Murderers in Government, they get Gold Cards and Assange and Wikileaks get cut. Visa to follow. Soon only direct bank transfer [watched by the CIA, MI6 and others] will be possible...and I'm sure they'll find a way to shut that down too. I only wish some multi-millionaire would step in and give them a line of credit and the finger to the 'authorities' in the USG pressuring everyone to hide their naked asses of lies and Imperial control.
