That is a scam operation IMHO.

I agree.

Nearly 30,000 people packed into 2 to 3 thousand acres surrounded by watch towers with only 1 exit?

Good catch on that one, fudimo. From the article: Readers may recall that Christian Hyman, aka Sam Kerodin, is not exactly a favorite of mine, since he appeared out of nowhere and attempted to hijack the Three Percent philosophy (with some success since there are suckers born every minute, apparently). His latest scam is something called "Citadel," wherein he persuades folks to invest in an "Armed 'Defensible' Neighborhood Fortress" in Idaho. It must be admitted that he has certainly scored another propaganda coup by talking the credulous CNS reporter into writing a story that is headlined on Drudge at the moment. Wait for the "exposes" of "gun rights criminals" which will flow from this story when the "mainstream" media begin digging into it. Can a guest shot on Piers Morgan be far behind? A very useful federal stooge is Mr. Hyman, whether he's being paid or not. Like you said, sounds like a scam; and a big one at that. Apparently this Mr. Kerodin (aka Mr. Hyman) is a convicted extortionist. Yeah....sounds like Mr. Kerodin is angling for another spell in the Big House.
