On December 23, 1913, US President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law, creating the central banking Federal Reserve System. This law granted extraordinary monetary and economic power to a private banking cartel. The destruction of the purchasing power of the U.S. Dollar was a key result. (It has declined 98%, since 1913.) I recommend the book The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve. – JWR — December 23rd is the birthday of Founding Father and Supreme Court Justice John Jay.

Armed Citizen® Today On the evening of Dec. 10 at a bar in Muncie, Ind., a 53-year-old man allegedly punched a female bartender and then spit on her, on another employee and on another customer. He then reportedly threw metal barstools and chairs with “immense force” at four other people, causing significant injuries, including broken ribs and collapsed lungs. One of the victims reportedly finally stopped the attack by shooting the assailant, who was later arrested after police found him walking from the scene with a gunshot wound. The suspect is being charged with multiple felony counts of battery. (fox59.com,…
The cover of the Finnish Civil Guard magazine Hakkapeliitta showcases shooter V. Miinalainen who won a gold medal at the 1935 World Shooting Championship in Rome with a koekivääri m/30 rifle. Shooting sports have always been a part of Finnish culture. In the early 1920s, the Finnish Shooting Sport Federation (Suomen Ampumaurheiluliito or SAL) sought ways for military shooters to represent Finland in international competitions, but the standard Finnish service rifle of the time, the Mosin-Nagant m/91, lacked the accuracy needed of a target rifle. The solution was for SAL to develop a series of test rifles called “koekivääri.” The…

Handmade in the USA, the Go-Kot was designed by scoutmasters in 1978 in order to provide better cots for their scouts. The Go-Kot is compact. When packed in its 28 x 8 x 3 inch carrying bag, the Go-Kot takes up less room in a trunk or cargo compartment than the typical camping cot. The Go-Kot is rugged. It is constructed of heavy-duty nylon fabric, an aircraft-grade aluminum frame, and spring-steel legs. The Go-Kot is easy to assemble and disassemble. It takes about a minute to take it out of the carrying bag and set up. It takes about another…

JWR’s Comment: Novelists tend to thrive on drama, but that was a bit too intense. — December 22nd is also the anniversary of the death of SP4 James T.

Q: I have always been a rifle and handgun shooter, with little shotgun experience, and I am a little confused about the “point of hold” shown in the pattern illustrations of our magazine. Is the point of hold, or point of aim, placed differently relative to the target depending on the shotgun’s use? A: There are two types of shotgun patterning: One determines how your shotgun’s barrel, choke, shot size, shot charge and brand of shotshell perform in terms of downrange pattern density, and a second determines where the shotgun actually places its pattern in terms of point of aim…
(Continued from Part 2. This concludes the article.) Timelines Given As we listen to all the chatter, day in and day out about a widening war in Europe and war with China, we can see some recurring messages in the reporting. How many times have you heard that NATO needs to be ready for a war with Russian in 3-5 years or that China will likely invade Taiwan by 2030. There are a few variations of the dates but regardless of the actual dates we need to ask why NATO and our Asia-Pacific Allies need to be ready by those…
