Gun sales soar, and no one is surprised
// Personal Liberty Digest™
The summer of 2015 set a record for the number of firearms sold in the U.S., if the FBI's background check data is anything to go by.
For the months of May, June, July and August, more people applied for a firearms background check through the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) than ever before.
The FBI reported nearly 100,000 more NICS background checks for May 2015 than in May of last year; nearly 150,000 more for June of 2015 than June of last year; nearly 200,000 more for July of 2015 than July of last year; and nearly 200,000 more for August of 2015 than August of last year.
In all, August took the record, with 1.7 million background checks performed in that month alone — "the most checks ever performed in any August since the creation of the National Instant Background Check System," as The Washington Free Beacon observed.
The number of background checks does not indicate how many firearms were actually purchased. Some applicants no doubt were unable to buy a weapon; others may have bought more than one after their background check had gone through. But there's no doubt that the four-month surge in background checks reflects a trend.
The increase in interest in gun ownership is only the most recent surge in a long-running uptick in Americans' general embrace of firearms — an interest that has spanned the duration of Barack Obama's pro-gun control presidencies.
"While Democrats pushed gun control — seizing on heinous attacks on innocents in Garland, Texas, (May 3), Charleston, South Carolina, (June 17), Chattanooga, Tennessee, (July 16), Lafayette, Louisiana, (July 23), and Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia, (August 26) — Americans recognized that the gunmen in each of these instances fully complied with gun control, passing a background check in all five attacks, only to carry out their criminal plans afterward," Breitbart commented after the FBI released its data.
"Therefore, rather than trust in gun control, Americans increasingly trusted in the gun."

Hello 2015 . . . ROBBING HOOD IS BACK!!!
As A Brief Reminder For Those Who May Have Forgot
Or For The Many That Didn't Know.
Here is what happened, quietly, on January 1, 2015:
Medicare tax went from 1.45% to 2.35%
Top Income tax bracket went from 35% to 39.6%
PUNISH THE WORKERS....TO REWARD THE NON WORKERS
Top Income payroll tax went from 37.4% to 52.2%
MORE PUNISHMENT FOR WORKING HARD!
Capital Gains tax went from 15% to 28%
MORE TAX UPON INCOME THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN TAXED!
Dividend tax went from 15% to 39.6%
MORE PUNISHMENT FOR INVESTING WISELY AND MAKING GOOD DECISIONS!
Estate tax went from 0% to 55% PUNISHMENT FOR SAVING FOR THE NEXT GENERATION! ONLY TO HAVE IT GO TO THE GOVERNMENT!
A 3.5% Real Estate transaction tax was added. MORE PUNISHMENT FOR INVESTING IN A HOME OR RENTAL PROPERTY!
Remember this fact:
These taxes were all passed solely with Democrat votes, Not a single Republican voted for these new taxes.
These taxes were all passed in the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare.
If you think that it is important that everyone in the U.S. should know this, the many millions who don't yet, then pass it on.

ISIS embrace of gold could mean government will come for yours
// Personal Liberty Digest™
The Islamic State terror organization has recently vowed to take down the U.S. financial system with the introduction of a new gold-based currency system that the jihadist group claims will undo "America's capitalist financial system of enslavery."
The terror group announced its war on the U.S. dollar in an hour-long video titled "The Rise of the Khilafah and the Return of the Gold Dinar," which was released Saturday.
According to the video, ISIS leaders are working to produce gold dinar coins worth the equivalent of $139 and several other denominations of silver, gold and copper coinage marked with Islamic symbols.
The goal, the video said, is bringing down the U.S.'s "capitalist financial system of enslavement underpinned by a piece of paper called the Federal Reserve dollar note which they alone printed and imposed on the rest of the world."
"One of the great forms of corruption that the world came to witness was the dark rise of banknotes borne out of the satanic conception of banks which mutated into a fraudulent … financial system of enslavement orchestrated by the Federal Reserve in America, a private corporation and system that would, through the use of deceit and force, deprive people of their due by imposing on them the usage of the piece of paper that came to be known as the dollar bill," the narrator said.
"It is the Federal Reserve banknote that they alone print and would go on to replace gold and silver which Allah created as the standard mediums of exchange for the purchase of goods and services," he added.
ISIS vows that it will conduct all of its oil trade in gold.
The video contains a historical accounting of the rise of the Federal Reserve bank and the United States' abandonment of the gold standard. The terror group even included in the video a clip of former Congressman Ron Paul arguing in favor of the gold standard in 2007.
"People's money being stolen, people who have saved. They're being robbed. If you have a devaluation of the dollar at 10 percent people have been robbed of 10 percent," Paul said.
Whether ISIS's gold experiment will be successful for the terror group remains to be seen, but it's worth noting that using gold to thwart U.S. wishes in the region is not a new concept in the Middle East. As recently as 2013, Iran accepted payment for oil sales to India in gold to thwart a Western embargo.
The news of ISIS's gold embrace could spell bad news for U.S. gold bugs and Federal Reserve critics, as it could give Homeland Security officials could take the announcement as an opportunity to target American advocates of a return to the gold standard, gold investors and preppers who often store large quantities of physical gold as a hedge against economic collapse as terrorist sympathizers.
