The “code” has been broken. When the “misinformation” police chant their threats to punish dissenters, they expose themselves as veritable enemies of truth. Or propaganda patrons. PayPal recently instituted an acceptable use policy that included stealing $2,500 from you if they don’t like your politics or religious beliefs, but then called it a mistake when PayPal stock subsequently plunged 6% as a result of their autocratic blunder. I called it misinformation. And closed my account.

Now PayPal has reinstated their “mistake” and again intends to fine users $2,500 per violation for anyone who dares to “provide false, inaccurate or misleading information.” As of November 3, 2022, PayPal’s expanded list of naughtiness includes “sending, posting, publication of messages, content, or materials that meet certain criteria.” Now granted, having read the particulars, much of their criteria makes good sense, such as selling counterfeit goods.
When you read the fine print of “prohibited activities,” camouflaged deep within the content, you’ll find that “in PayPal’s sole discretion,” they can fine you if you “depict, promote, or incite hatred for discrimination of protected groups or of individuals or groups based on protected characteristics (e.g., race, religion, gender or gender identity, sexual orientation, etc.).”
The fallacies of logic here are blatant. How can they protect religion if my Christian faith declares that only two sexes exist, and that sexual perversion of all kinds is sin? They can’t. PayPal would call such a post hatred, but God calls it truth. PayPal trumps God and steals my money to shut me up.
The tacit message is, “Do as we tell you, or else….” In such a time as now, I see their actions as a true blessing. If any conservative person is fined for such a “violation,” it is good. It’s a consequence of participating in evil. Consider it an admonition from God. Did He not advise us on such affiliations? “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:13-14). We’ve been warned.
Can’t the same be said about the TikTok app whose parent Chinese company ByteDance is using it to surveil Americans? What about Disney, and Netflix, and other such enterprises that have fallen into disgrace? They also have fine print that says it’s okay to sexually prey on our children. Under the guise of “my body, my choice,” they choose to promote the sexual mutilation of innocent kids and call it gender affirmation. If we oppose this child abuse publicly, they call us misinformers (at their sole discretion).
If America was still a mentally and spiritually healthy nation, all of these companies would have gone broke by now. But the rules of imperfect life under the sun require diligence and patience, as people are slow to rouse in conscience. Deaf, dumb and blind refers not to physical traits but to tendencies of the heart.
When I call PayPal’s indiscretion a blessing, I’m by no means endorsing this evil company. The benediction comes in their flagrant exposure of who they really are. The same must be said of The Walt Disney Company when they advertised their LGBTQ affection. In theory, every successful company or agency must avoid the fatal flaw that ultimately destroys them. In reality, the fatal flaw has to be first recognized to rightly judge a company’s worth, and then decide whether or not to patronize it.
The fatal flaw is hypocrisy. PayPal just advertised their insincerity. They told us who they are. Now we must respond. I’m hoping for another stock market tumble.
When people are able to identify the fatal flaw in any person, group, business or agency, people are bestowed an ability to change history. Sometimes recognizing it is easy. Xi Jinping is less hypocritical than many of our own politicians. Sure, he’s a tyrannical dictator who means us harm. But he doesn’t try hard to hide it. Our own President Trump was similar in many ways, but he intended no harm to the world — only fairness. His goal was to ostracize and neutralize evil. But he invited all nations to join hands in promoting free enterprise, and free people. So, in an uncanny kind of way, we could say that both Jinping and Trump were sincere. Sincerity is the opposite of hypocrisy.
That’s the ultimate test for all relationships: sincerity. If what you see is what you get, then you haven’t been duped. That’s why the debate between Mehmet Oz and John Fetterman was so powerful. This senate campaign is critical, and people have a right to know who they’re voting for; in this case, a rational man with godly wisdom, or a buffoon. (Okay, I’m expressing my sincere beliefs here.) If this were a boxing match, it would have to be declared no contest. Fetterman clearly asserted his incompetence. And whatever you thought of Oz, nobody can deny his competence to hold office. Which is the better choice for congress? It’s obvious.
