Anybody check with the Branch Davidians before doing this?

I don't think this will end well for these folks. There are several faults in their plan as far as I can see, the first being that to my recollection, northern Idaho doesn't have alot of tillable acreage for growing crops. Secondly, remember Waco?

The Citadel is evolving as a planned community where residents are bound together by:

Patriotism
Pride in American Exceptionalism
Our proud history of Liberty as defined by our Founding Fathers, and
Physical preparedness to survive and prevail in the face of natural catastrophes — such as Hurricanes Sandy or Katrina — or man-made catastrophes such as a power grid failure or economic collapse.
The Citadel is not your typical planned community where the developer's objective is selling cookie-cutter homes at the highest possible profit-margin.

The Citadel is not profit-driven. The Citadel is Liberty-driven: specifically Thomas Jefferson's Rightful Liberty.

Marxists, Socialists, Liberals and Establishment Republicans will likely find that life in our community is incompatible with their existing ideology and preferred lifestyles.

The Citadel is where the plan started to fall apart.

I can accomplish the same thing in my backyard storm shelter. Except, it's not in Idaho.

Main difference is that in Waco, the nutjobs were bound together by their cult, whereas on this one, if people do actually make it happen, they will be bound together for a different reason.

The people who chose something like this will be much better train for an attack and probably better armed too = more of a threat to the .gov and I don't see them ignoring it too long.

But my guess is that it will get shut down before it gets started. Who knows, probably one of the leaders behind it committed tax fraud. Better get some audits going to find out....

Texas militant’s 12-year standoff with the law now on its fourth reluctant sheriff

For 12 years running, a Texan named John Joe Gray has been in America’s longest standoff with law enforcement.

[In 2000, the wanted, anti-government militant and his family barricaded themselves in a 47-acre parcel outside Trinidad, population 1,100, and told the cops to “bring body bags” if they tried to enter his property.

Wary of provoking another Waco-like shootout, Henderson County’s then-sheriff, Howard “Slick” Alfred, listened. Instead of sending deputies to seize Gray, he decided to wait them out.

More than a decade later, Alfred has retired, as have two of his successors - and Gray has still not left the property.

Current Sheriff Ray Nutt said he sees “no reason right at this minute to storm a compound where officers could get killed.”...]

When I read the story on Drudge Report, my thoughts went directly to Waco, and wondering what Janet would do! WWJD
