When you see a news sto­ry like this one you might think that some­one has been watch­ing too many movies.

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.”

When you look at what is going on in Amer­i­ca you might find that you are con­cerned how­ev­er the idea of actu­al­ly prepar­ing for some event in which pro­tec­tion of a com­mu­ni­ty may be nec­es­sary can be some­thing that you just find is a scary thought, how­ev­er if it ever came down to it such a project might become a life sav­ing avenue that many com­mu­ni­ties may not have the lux­u­ry of devel­op­ing. 
 

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.
