Yep, it is really marketed to paranoid neocons.

Libertarian commune is an oxymoron.

There was a thread on this very community a year or so ago. I seem to recall that many of us agreed that it seemed to be more of a scam, designed to get gullible people to sign up. When I have time, I shall look for that thread.

Thankfully, unlike the Obamacare scam, only willing dupes will suffer.

Liberty behind a tall wall; makes a certain kind of convoluted sense to me. Like calling yourself free while holed up in your bunker.

Seems perfectly logical to me.

A bunch of people who are fierce individuals, living in paranoia of the government, progressives and everyone else different, are gonna create a walled community where everybody carries guns and lives in a concrete bunker.

What could possibly go wrong?

Oh, are the neo-Nazis shilling for their doom compound again? Do they still ask prespective people to name all the hate groups they belong to because they only want fellow travelers?

Do a search for citadel, and you'll see what Idahoans think of this idiocy. Or just scroll down to the bottom of this page and you'll see some results.

This whole thing was cooked up by a felon named Kerodin. He was busted for a wacko extortion attempt in the D.C. area, and served 30 months in federal prison. He can no longer possess firearms legally. His partner in the scheme is a guy named Miller, who's a machinist and would-be gunsmith who, as far as I know, still hasn't made any guns as yet.

The pair scraped up enough to buy 20 acres no one wanted on top of a mountain in a remote part of Idaho. There is no running water, no utilities whatsoever, and the single access road is only a rough logging dirt road. It's too high and too cold to be any good for farming as the place is snow covered for around 6 months of the year, and 20 acres is not enough to build anything remotely like their plans for a walled city of 3,000.

I think it is nothing but a scheme to steal a lot of money from paranoids who have no idea of what they're getting into, as do all the other Idahoans who posted on the topic in the Idaho forum.
