The world`s most famous whistleblowing website WikiLeaks is suing Valitor, formerly VISA Iceland, over suspension of financial services. The hearing is taking place before the Icelandic courts in Reykjavik on Thursday.

In a statement published on its website WikiLeaks announced the case is the first in a series of suits over the “unlawful” banking blockage.

WikiLeaks asserts that the financial blockade has been imposed by Visa Iceland on DataCell, the Iceland-based company processing donations for WikiLeaks, after the site published leaks in December 2010.

“Julian Assange was working in Iceland the winter of 2009-2010. After that, WikiLeaks actually produced a tremendously important leak which exposed corruption within Iceland. It shed light onto why the entire banking system of Iceland collapsed in 2008,” WikiLeaks press spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson explained to RT. He added that WikiLeaks has been “starved of 95 per cent” of its funds.

DataCell signed an agreement with Valitor in June 2011, but after a short period of processing donations for WikiLeaks, Valitor terminated the agreement and closed the gateway, even though it had been previously tested and certified by the company.

Valitor has cited alleged violations by Datacell for collecting donations for a third party. Datacell, however, insists that Valitor was fully aware of the final recipient of donations.

Well you cant blame them for trying.   It worked on America. We just did,nt accept their "Colonial Script". Financial Blockade. We did it to Japan and now Iran. Financial Blockade. Control the money and YOU make the rules.  Remember what Meyer Rothschild told (indivuals and countries) told you, "Give me the control of a Nations money supply and I care not who makes its Laws."!

This is a very good thing.  WikiLeaks is coming back stronger than ever.  Congrats to all!  It's been a rough road.  The hypocrisy of Visa was incredibly tragic and shameful.  It's about time something was done.

The big problem is the concept of society based on competition.
By accepting (unconsciously) that success by it's nature selects the most ruthless at the position of "rulers" we are bound to be run by the will of psychopaths .
To make things worse success is measured mainly by the amount of money one can accumulate (capitalise ).

So history shows that the "golden rule" is ..Who got the Gold RULES .
To the point that politicians are nothing but executors to the didactic of big financial interests (imperialists )
Identification of these "rulers" point to old Royal families linked by marriages through hundred of years with their central seat in London (City )
The Massive management of this imperial enterprise beyond the ability of the royals who prefer hunting wild life like elephants, parades,big parties ,holidays , etc...was passed on  to the Zionist movement lead by the "Rothschild "
Who owns the state of Israel
There is still for some a confusion in assimilating Zionists with Jews.
The Zionism is a creation from the Slavic tribe from Zakharia a region above the Caspian sea converted to Judaism roughly a thousand years ago. they have no connection with the land of the old testament .
They are impostors
Yet they have the GOLD and rule (for the kings ) that is why Israel gets away with crime and so do the banks .

For those who give credibility to the story of Christ..remember that despite his gospel being all about love, the only time he showed anger was when he through away the MONEY changers out of the synagogue .
We should have listen !
