US Dominance of Finance a Threat to Democracy and Free Speech

We need alternatives to the US owned financial systems.

Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, Amazon, Swiss Bank, MoneyBookers, what else?

All have banned donations to WikiLeaks.

Even though WikiLeaks is simply performing a journalistic service: demonstrating that governments around the world lie to their people (regularly) and even lie to their parliaments.

What we see swinging into action is a real 'one world government' - the ability to shut off free speech and use corrupt domestic judiciaries (UK, Australia, and particularly Sweden) to target individuals who favour free speech.

How can we fight back against this? How can we ethically support good causes without using services which actually work as an arm of US foreign policy?
