ASKED by an out-of-stater where the nearest shooting range is, Patrick Leavitt, an affable gunsmith at Riverman Gun Works in Coeur dAlene, says: This is Idahoyou can shoot pretty much anywhere away from buildings. That is one reason why the sparsely populated state is attracting a growing number of political refugees keen to slip free from bureaucrats in Americas liberal states, says James Wesley, Rawles (yes, with a comma), an author of bestselling survivalist novels. In a widely read manifesto posted in 2011 on his survivalblog.com, Mr Rawles, a former army intelligence officer, urged libertarian-leaning Christians and Jews to move to Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and a strip of eastern Oregon and Washington states, a haven he called the American Redoubt.
Thousands of families have answered the call, moving to what Mr Rawles calls Americas last big frontier and most easily defendable terrain. Were hordes of thirsty, hungry, panicked Americans to stream out of cities after, say, the collapse of the national grid, few looters would reach the mostly mountainous, forested and, in winter, bitterly cold Redoubt. Big cities are too far away. But the movement is driven by more than doomsday redoubters, eager to homestead on land with lots of water, fish, and big game nearby. The idea is also to bring in enough strongly conservative voters to keep out the regulatory creep smothering liberty in places like California, a state many redoubters disdainfully refer to as the C-word

I think there was talk at one point of our taking, or buying, access to the Sea of Cortez, as well as the entirety of the Baja peninsula. And if the Mexicans want to wage war on us via demographics in the southwest or other ways, then they can’t complain if the war suddenly turns on them and they not only don’t take our territory, but lose some of their own.
You don’t get anything out of it. That’s the point. Democrats, like Communists, play the long game. Strategically place these invaders where they will continue to have MANY kids, vote Democrat, long term, cause problems for the residents — whatever the outcome, it’s a win-win for the Communists/Progressives.
The little 5 yo girl in Idaho that was raped by these ferals — that’s just the beginning. Her parents were pressured to not report the crime. The DA threatened people to not talk about the case. At one point, the police weren’t going to arrest the criminals due to “language barriers.”
With a complicit press, there is truly no way to tell how many crimes have been/will be committed by these illegals (from all countries). Can’t have the truth interfere with the narrative.

Prepper ping.
If the Yellowstone supervolcano goes, the entire globe will be affected. Crop failures will be widespread. The human race will diminish greatly.
Hi Big Red, Arizona is a great state. I hope you find a nice home there.
About Rawlings books. I’ve bought four of them and they went down hill from the first. The first had lots of original thinking and was action packed. But now that prepping has gone mainstream, I don’t know if it would have the same kind of impact it had years ago when BO first came into office and I thought he was going to destroy our world.
It is definitely worth reading. My AZ library had it on back order to check out, so it if you can’t wait, buy it and pass it on.
All the best.
Thanks lulu,
Tucson area has always had it’s hooks in me,
So I Dream,
Keep the Dream Alive!
FRiend.
Not related to the article, but: There’s a person on another forum I’m on, who is no longer able to maintain their prepared lifestyle. They are selling 1,000 pounds of assorted storage foods in order to pay their medical bills:
Any preppers here who could help them out?
Meanwhile, New Hampshire has its *Free Sate Project*.
It is libertarian, and while I am conservative myself, the northwest states are not the only option out there.
Already located there, thank God! (See my tag line.)
For now.....
So is the invasion of "refugees" deliberately being sent there by Obama.

Your post did not indicate their geographic location
From the article:" In SW Virginia off I-77 near the WV border.
No shipping; must be picked up or we can deliver or meet you any where along the I-77 corridor between Wytheville, VA to Beckly, WV."
I hope this helps those folks.
It appears to be a good value, with photos at website
In the case of Idaho and to a lesser degree in all states around Utah, it is simply a matter of younger Mormons moving into surrounding areas due to the cost of real estate and searching for job opportunities.
Conservatives keep up the economy. Liberals move in for the jobs then demand the local politics change to policies that killed the communities they came from.
I like the GREEN,
Thanks.
don’t even think about it
