Farage Tells Breitbart we are on the Verge of Banks Running ‘Word Checks’ on Customers Social Media. JWR’s Comment: De-banking is a real threat. It happened to me. No reason was ever given. I had held that non-interest-bearing checking account with plenty of activity and an average balance of $4,000+ for nearly two decades. I had never been overdrawn. Farage is right: Denial of banking is a political weapon.

M.J. had this comment, regarding SwampFox’s recent article on chemical weapons:
“I used to work as a non-sworn courthouse security guard for a large municipal law enforcement agency in California. During our training, my classmates and I were sprayed with Freeze+P, a mix of tear gas and pepper spray. We were expected to work through it while a DI was playing the part of a suspect to be subdued.
I can testify that Freeze+P is a powerful attitude adjustment! I was so badly blinded by the spray that I almost blundered into the women’s locker room; only the frantic shouts of my classmates saved me. I don’t think it’s available for purchase by civilians.
There was a rumor going around our class that washing our eyes with shampoo would neutralize the pepper spray. That was NOT true. It was only after training that I learned about neutralizing solutions.
Sabre Red was what we carried on duty.
Now that I’m a civilian, I carry a small jogger-size canister of Mace. It came in handy recently when a stray dog was threatening me and some children in the park where I was exercising. When I sprayed the dog, it ran away and rubbed its face repeatedly in the ground. I ran away in the other direction. I never saw the dog again.
Pepper spray is very handy to have, but as SwampFox said, be mindful of the law.”

I recently met the nice folks who run Hells Canyon Mountain Sports. It is an Internet and gunshow-operated company that sells guns, ammunition, and reloading components. They recently expanded their business to go nationwide, and launched a full website. They are headquartered in Lewiston, Idaho, but don’t operate a storefront, to keep their overhead low.
