1. That's because the KKK is not a threat to TPTB.
It's that simple. Wikileaks is a threat to TPTB's cozy little scam. The KKK are irrelevant in the scheme of things (these days).

2. That says quite a bit about them,...

3. But the KKK
and Wikileaks is dangerous... to them. The KKK is likely only dangerous to individuals and individual persons don't count for much.

Bow before your owners: the corporations. Do you think this is why Thomas Jefferson was so concerned about corporate entities?

4. The KKK never fucked with BushCo's ability to steal billions and billions of dollars
There is an immutable law of nature. When you start fucking with or endangering in any way a mafioso's money stream - you get whacked!

8. This'll be tough on WikiLeaks
It'll cut into donations, which they really need.

Assange promises a bank doc dump and suddenly Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal discover their civic consciences. Assholes.

12. .
Today, Visa Europe announced it is also beginning the process to stop payments to Wikileaks. Visa didn't go as far to say Wikileaks is engaging in illegal activity; instead, Visa said the suspension is pending an investigation. A spokeswoman told BBC that the investigation will examine Wikileaks' business and whether it violates Visa rules.

15. The KKK is a Republican group - of COURSE a big bank operative would support them.

16. Yep, just like terrorists who kill thousands, dangerous hate groups are USEFUL to the PTB
They are far more threatened by transparency and embarrassment.
