Remember that report I did on September 12th, exposing this so-called proposal by the U.S. Treasury to allow the IRS to track and have access to our bank accounts with over $600 in it? If you don’t, I suggest you go back and read it again.
Well, in that report I had mentioned how PayPal was already sending me emails saying that I need to give them my tax info; and if I did not, then they would restrict my balance. In other words, all the money – that many of you have charitably gifted to this ministry – would be locked up from my use, and I would not be allowed transfer the money to my personal bank.
PayPal has been messaging me like crazy. I’m talking like almost everyday for a month. They even called me a few times. Then several weeks ago they sent me a message saying that I was currently at “[x]” number of transactions, and said if I did not provide my tax info once I reach 190 transactions (not sure why they chose that number), they would cut me off.
Well, they just did.
I woke up this morning to find that someone had made that 190th transaction, thereby barring my account balance, so I would not be able to even collect that donation! I have already issued a refund (I can still do that though (LOL)), just not use it.
So, as it stands, PayPal has now officially censored The WinePress. Moreover, we are being told that this IRS thing is currently a “proposal.” Well, if it’s just a “proposal,” then why are they going after me? Furthermore, I have seen some reports floated out by mainstream media where they say it’s just a proposal, but the headlines will read something to the effect of ‘When can the money-sucking IRS steal more money from you?’ (I’m being a bit facetious of course). But, I have those reports bookmarked, as I plan to do a much more detailed report on this in the future – which I plan to try and get some exclusive interviews on this issue, to make people aware of what is going on.
Even The Joker isn’t crazy enough to stand up to the IRS, but perhaps I am. I will not win (and I am not going to do anything crazy, don’t excited, but I will speak up at least), but I am not afraid of man: the Lord Jesus Christ is my protector, and the only one to be feared
As I have said so many times: we have no real government, we have no real representation. It’s crystal clear that this draconian move is already in place and ready to go. All this talk and debates in the media and with politicians, is nothing more than a formality, and political theater to stir up the masses. Our so-called representatives only represent the banks, hedge funds, private investors and institutes, the big corporations, and so forth. So all this garbage you will continue to see in the media is just show. Do not forget it. Most will, but that’s the American way it seems: deaf, dumb, and blind.
Anyways, all this to say that – for obvious reasons – I will no longer be using PayPal. I will be getting rid of the PayPal donation link, so no one can donate to this ministry through that medium.
There are some of you who have chosen to gift reoccurring donations each month. If that is you, you will need to cancel that, so you do not get flooded with emails about a failed transaction or something; or have your hard-earned money locked up and essentially given away to PayPal.
I was already in the process of setting up an entirely new e-banking setup with a company based in the U.K. – Isn’t that something? Here in the Divided States of America: land of the slave, home of the sissy; I can’t do business here because of our oppressive government wants to steal even MORE from it’s own people, so I have to go to a European company to get my money! – which, now that I have written this, I would not be surprised if this company changes their policy, too.
But, as I said, I was already in the process of getting that set up. I should have the system set up soon. When it is ready and working, I will post another update on where and how to use and do it.
I do ask that if you could please continue to pray for furtherance of this ministry, as I am trying my best (with the Lord’s help, and many of you sending me great stuff to report on) to stand for the truth, expose the wickedness of this world, and keep you awake to what is going and where things are going.
Perhaps PayPal is doing this to me because maybe they classify me as some sort of “hooligan.” After all, I reported in late-July that PayPal and a bunch of other big-tech companies that will would be cracking down and censor “hate” and “extremists groups.” Could this be what they are doing to The WinePress, and maybe even trying to kill two birds with stone here, with this IRS crap? Lord only knows.
One thing I do know is these people will get theirs.
To all those in our wicked government and big-tech criminals, since you wish to distort my pay, and many others too, I have a warning for you:
[19] Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will REPAY, saith the Lord. [20] Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. [21] Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.Romans 12:19-21
The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
Proverbs 18:11
Normally this is where the donation button would go, but, ya know…
Brother do you have an address or P.O. box that we can donate cash too? Seems like the easiest way to fix this issue. And that way it can be untraceable unless the USPS decides to snoop through people’s mail again.
I will be praying this all gets resolved in Jesus’ name.
I have considered that, but it obviously costs more money to just have a tiny little box. After just basic costs of living are factored in (which currently is very little). plus P.O. Box fees, not much of the monthly donations are left if am I being candid. So, it’s tricky for me to decide what route to take. Maybe I’ll do both.
Just keep us updated and I’ll try to donate in the future!
i think hal turner had the same thing happen to him paypal is garbage
Wow they’re nothing but a bunch of whiny losers over there at PayPal. Shame on them. Praying for the prosperity of your ministry brother Jacob, and also praying for THEIR swift destruction. May the LORD return their wickedness upon their own heads!
This is PayPal’s way of censorship…..no better than Youtube or Facebook or Google. I had heard that George Soros (or his sons) now have controlling shares in this company. Christians should stop using this method of payment and go back to prePayPal ways of payment. It’s a minor inconvenience. No point in making yet another Jesuit-run company rich. It was only a matter of time that they would do this to you. I would suggest a PO Box for payment by check and/or direct credit card set-up for payments. Even Ebay felt the need to dump PayPal’s funds-collection powers.
Could you use another platform that works in a similar way to PooPal, just without the IRS tracking? Or are they all in the same bandwagon at this point?

The one I am working with (or trying to) is very cheap and has pretty good reach over all the world. I have a lot of international readers reach out to me. Because it is in Europe, I believe I can avoid some of it for the time being. They still wanted info I do not like to provide, but it’s everyone and everything at this point.
I have looked into some of the other options you posted, and I may try them too maybe. The problem is, a lot of these alternative donation platforms utilize PayPal or Stripe (the second biggest one, who also censors people) as their credit card processor. This means they may have to be forced to ask my data too, and pay a little extra to cover their costs.
With the one I am looking at, it would also allow me to still do online transactions with ease.
They messed with a Man of God, Jacob so expect these PayPal losers to have disaster and strife in their families and marriages! Just know that the Lord will avenge you because they persecuted Jesus and now they’ll pay for it!
Sorry brother Jacob for your troubles. I agree with Liz. It’s only a matter of time before every online-based alternative will be strictly controlled, especially against dissenting websites like the WinePress.
I don’t disagree that maybe just for the span of time between then and now you could look for other online alternatives, just to have some breathing room to set up a more traditional way of accepting your due. It may be possible to keep dodging this by moving from one online platform to the next all the time, I’m not sure, as I myself never had a credit card, I deal with cash all the time, or used any online service for moving money around, save for online banking, which I’ve used less and less during the years.
Not to lecture someone who is already aware, but just to humbly stress the point that ultimately it’s better to do it the old or even antiquated way that could possibly be permitted by our current times and your situation, before all these online platforms came to be.

Skrill is a paying and money trancfer site that can be worth the try?! I think it is located in London as well.
That’s the one I am trying. Looked pretty good to me. Cheap too.
Here’s another, you might have seen this already. It’s got “pros-and-cons” with each platform listed:

I’m sorry this happened to you, but glad you’ve kept your sense of humor about it. Obviously saw it coming. I don’t know much about these things, but good to see you’re getting good advice from those who do.
Liz, did you see the write-up Whitney Webb did on Moderna over at Unlimited Hangout? So wicked, these scheming people. Mercola had it up, then the one on ‘nac’…the new asset class of patented biosystems, ecosystems etc caught my eye, quick scan of ‘unlimited’ site. The ‘new asset class’ Includes US, of course. Recent New York Stock Exchange launch.
I imagine monkey spermatids and chimeric embryos are among the things ‘traded’, along with the carbon credits etc. Just sick & may the Lord return soon.
Today F 10/22/21, Mercola had up an article to terrorize those counting on natural immunity, with a report how a group of scientists in Italy were passaging virus from infected & dead patients to make it more virulent & able to override ‘natural’ (God-designed & -given) immune defenses, which are clearly superior to the claims on the not-a-vaccine mRNA experiment. As, Jacob says, the Lord knows… They are such liars…all we really know for certain sure is that this whole thing has not been as presented or ‘spontaneous’ and ‘random’.
Starting to claim Philippians 1:21-24 ….and we all know the Lord preserved Paul for the purpose he had for him, & what Paul chose when a ‘choice for life’ meant denying Christ & an ultimate choice for death, such living a hindrance to the Gospel & others. When that ‘needful’ becomes moot as it may. So far, the Lord has preserved, & we are grateful.
