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.

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.
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.
