A group of like-minded patriots, bound together by pride in American exceptionalism, plan on building an armed community to protect their liberty.

The group, named Citadel, intends to purchase 2,000 to 3,000 acres for the project in western Idaho. The community will comprise of 3,500 to 7,000 families of patriotic Americans who "voluntarily choose to live together in accordance with Thomas Jefferson's ideal of Rightful Liberty."

According to the Citadel website, Rightful Liberty means that "neighbors keep their noses out of other neighbors' business, that neighbors live and let live."

Citadel explains that residents in the community will be bound by the following:
•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.

Residents should also agree that being "prepared for the emergencies of life and being proficient with the American icon of Liberty -- the Rifle -- are prudent measures."

Some of the benefits of the Citadel community include a safe, well-prepared, patriotic community where children will be educated in school, not indoctrinated.

The community will be protected by a perimeter wall that will be inaccessible to "tourists." Each neighborhood within the community will have lower walls, dividing the town into defensible sections.

The website has a link to applications where prospective residents can sign up. According to Citadel, more than 200 families have completed applications, even before any land has been purchased.

While Citadel may sound wonderful to many who are reading this, the community has posted a warning on their home page:

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

Citadel says that every patriot selected to live within the community "will voluntarily agree to follow the footsteps of our Founding Fathers by swearing to one another our lives, our fortunes and our Sacred Honor to defend one another and Liberty against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

So now we know where the Predators from the AFG pull out are going to go.

Yep - with ol' Bo Gritz and his crowd for one. Oklahoma also has some of them camped out around in their AO.

Interesting - sounds like a HOA with different rules.

Everybody loves the concept of freedom - until your ideas clash with your neighbors.

Kinda like Jamestown, without the swamps and redski... er, uh, Native Americans.

Oh frack, not *again*! We already are defensible and have our liberty. We make our own scopes (Nightforce), ARs (Seekins Precision), AKs (UltiMAK). Hell we make our own bullets and ammo! (ATK/Speer-bullets/Speer-ammo/CCI + PNW Arms). We don't need a "Citadel" here, thank you.

Please choose SW Idaho, Please choose SW Idaho, Please choose SW Idaho....

On the other hand, you QPs are most welcome to move up here. A most class 3 friendly state too. Mr. Econ will vouch for the area.

What did you expect??? The egg-sucking pork-chop white sheets moved from Hayden to Spirit Lake... Some crack-pots had to fill the vacuum... Plus, the SOL now has new neighbors to play with...

Still, I believe it would be better not to draw attention to us here in Idaho BECAUSE of:
Nightforce, Seekins Precision, UltiMAK, ATK/Speer, CCI, PNW Arms, relaxed suppressor laws etc...

Waiting to see what's next...

Those were clandestine mentions to perhaps help entice any QPs on here looking to move from their 2a/RKBA oppressing states. I recall Destrier not being too happy with NY and will be even less so if Cuomo gets his way, as one example.

Idaho should follow Wyoming on this (posted earlier):

Sounds to me like if someone had the means to create a personal redoubt in the NW they wouldn't need an opportunistic broker. This smells.

Funny thing about a pendulum... If it swings far one way, it has to swing far the other... I love our Libertarian/Republican way of running things, but we're a magnet for kook-jobs who take it to the extreme...

It’s either someone’s “wet dream” or a SCAM.
They have not purchased land, and the only source of revenue is the IIIArms. (which is located, not in Idaho but in Inwood, WEST VIRGINIA). Additionally, you have to sell a lot of 1911’s and AR15s to buy 3,000 acres of land (even in remote Idaho).

QUOTE - “We intend to purchase at least 2,000 acres, although preferably 3,000 acres for the Citadel Community. A minimum of one square mile will be protected within our wall and towers (640 full acres!). Ideally, up to two full square miles will be protected behind the walls (1,280 acres)!!”

No danger of this group interrupting the flora and fauna of Northern Idaho.

My first question was: defensible from what?

I'd opt for the Triangle camp. They'll probably go with the Star!
