About the Citadel

The Citadel will be a small planned community of 3,500 - 7,000 families of patriotic Americans who voluntarily choose to live together in accordance with Thomas Jefferson's ideal of Rightful Liberty: Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others.

In essence, Rightful Liberty means that neighbors keep their noses out of other neighbors' business, that neighbors live and let live.

Marxists, Socialists, Liberals, and Establishment Republicans may find that living within our Citadel Community is incompatible with their existing ideology and preferred lifestyles.

Our children will be educated instead of indoctrinated.

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)!!

Every Patriot selected to live within the Citadel 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. All Patriots selected to live within the Citadel Community agree to abide all Constitutional laws, both Federal and State.

The Citadel Community is to be a bastion of Liberty in America.

Only patriots need apply.

This isn't about freedom; it's about banning everything you don't like and cowering from the rest of your own countrymen behind a useless little wall.

Lots of people have gated communities. Although having them in Idaho is a little strange. Whats the population up there again?

The website claims no property taxes

Can finally OWN your property. G-Man won't kick you off your land for not paying the yearly tribute.

If I understand it correctly (I heard a while ago from a different article) they plan to put severe infringements on personal liberty. Like for example you are required to have 1000 rounds of ammunition for your gun or you will be kicked out. They don't let you own any property you have to rent land and stuff.

Only $2 billion dollars.

Right wing equivalent of hippie communes.

Of all the dozens of Utopian cities in America, it seems only the arts and crafts hippy city endured.

As Stewart pointed out, for a conservative, Beck's dream town is oddly communist.

Rent? Gah, nevermind!

Well, yeah. Hemp boot-straps just make more sense.

 

[Joecoolyo]

If they're building the Citadel then they better build Liberty Prime as well.

If they don't, I'd be severely disappointed in them.

 

[Formaldehyde]

Does this mean they will also fire on Fort Sumter if given the chance?

 

[Kaitzilla]

Oh lol Liberty Prime


Link to video.

Need to play Fallout again.

It is far more involved than that:

Four: Every able-bodied Patriot of age within the Citadel will maintain one AR15 variant in 5.56mm NATO, at least 5 magazines and 1,000 rounds of ammunition. The responsibility for maintaining functional arms and ammunition levels for every member of the household shall fall to the head of household. Every able-bodied Patriot will be responsible for maintaining a Tactical Go Bag or Muster Kit to satisfy the Minuteman concept. Details TBD and posted elsewhere.

Five: Every household within the Citadel will remain stocked with sufficient food, water, and other preparedness essentials (to be detailed elsewhere) to sustain the needs for every member of the household for a duration of one year.

Seven: Every child attending Citadel schools — with parental discretion for maturity — shall have as part of every semester's class curriculum basic marksmanship and firearms safety training leading to the proficiency test on the child's 13th birthday as a "Coming of Age" rite of passage (a parent may attend the classes or personally train the child if so desired). Children attending schools beyond the Citadel, or home-schooled, are required to meet the same proficiency standards at age 13.

Eight: All Patriots, who are of age and are not legally restricted from bearing firearms, shall agree to remain armed with a loaded sidearm whenever visiting the Citadel Town Center. Firearm shall be on-the-person and under the control of the Resident, not merely stored in a vehicle.

Nine: Each household will provide ONE able-bodied Patriot (aged 13 or older) who shall muster one Saturday per month for Martial/Support Training for neighborhood-level training & musters, as set forth by the Militia Commanders of the Community. No single Patriot shall be required to muster more than once per quarter. In the course of every calendar year every able-bodied Patriot and every full-time resident in each household must participate in at least three musters (one neighborhood-level and two full-scale). Part-time residents must participate, in good faith, to the best of their ability.

Twelve: Violations of this Agreement will result in review by an arbitration panel consisting of Citadel Residents with appropriate and proportional disciplinary action taken. The most severe disciplinary action may include the loss of Lease and expulsion from the community.

I wonder what they plan to make in the "arms factory"....

 

[caketastydelish]

Farmers Market? The left wing loves those just as much.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Do they also have a rotating statue that protects the occupants from alpha, beta, and gamma radiation, and can blast off into space?

 

[Formaldehyde]

I found the "arms factory" info by clicking on the "buy an AR-15 before it's too late" ad at the top of their web page:

http://www.iiiarmscompany.com/

I personally wouldn't own an M1911 that didn't have a "Let it begin here" slogan on it.

 

[Kaitzilla]

Good heavens, why so many walls? I thought they were talking about 1 wall.

 

[Arwon]

I've got 2015 in the "when does this end in a mass-suicide" sweep.

They also don't seem to care much for cars either. It's going to be a hell of a hike to get to your apparently unprotected vehicle.
