Citadel: Large survivalist community planned for far west.
Posted: Jan 11, 2013
quite serious. From IIICitadel.com (do note paragraph 4):
The Citadel is evolving as a planned community where residents are bound together by:
- 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.
The Citadel is not your typical planned community where the developer's objective is selling cookie-cutter homes at the highest possible profit-margin.
The Citadel is not profit-driven. The Citadel is Liberty-driven: specifically Thomas Jefferson's Rightful Liberty.
Marxists, Socialists, Liberals and Establishment Republicans will likely find that life in our community is incompatible with their existing ideology and preferred lifestyles.
DESCRIPTION: The Citadel Community will house between 3,500 and 7,000 patriotic American families who agree that being prepared for the emergencies of life and being proficient with the American icon of Liberty — the Rifle — are prudent measures. There will be no HOA. There will be no recycling police and no local ordinance enforcers from City Hall.
LOCATION: We are in the process of selecting the ideal location among the beautiful mountains of Idaho in the American Redoubt.
PROJECT LAUNCH: We plan to purchase land for the Citadel in 2013 and break ground soon after. Even before unveiling our national advertising campaign, more than 200 families reserved space within our community!
WHY APPLY FOR RESIDENCE: If living in an affordable, safe, well-prepared, patriotic community where your children will be educated in school rather than indoctrinated, consider the Citadel. Approved applicants receive a Lifetime Lease (paid off in only 30 years). No credit check. No background check. Zero down payment. Zero interest. Zero property taxes.
HOW TO APPLY: Simply read through the information here on our website. If you believe the Citadel is ideal for you and your family, complete our application. More of your questions may be answered at our blog.
HOUSING DETAILS: All homes will be built of poured concrete for exceptional strength and durability. Your home will be built to your specs (details available at this website) with utilities stubbed to the interior. You select the facade for the exterior of your home. You are responsible for completing the interior of your home as you wish. You may choose to do the work yourself, or hire contractors. But every single detail, from paint to tiles to counters, is your choice.
If Liberty has been missing from the life of your family, consider the Citadel for your new home.
From the Idaho Statesman: "Currently we are a loose collection of several hundred people with a germ of an idea, and honestly not ready to provide you with a cogent interview or even background," an unnamed representative for the group said in an email to the Statesman. Benewah County is the "first choice" because of its low population density and "shared world-view" of independence, self-sufficiency and patriotism, the website said. The group has already bought 20 acres of land on top of a mountain in the county, the website said. It hopes to break ground shortly after summer 2013. More than 200 families have applied to join, the website said. ... The project could be built in Montana, Wyoming or several other Idaho counties, it said.
At the center of the development is a business, III Arms, a modern firearms company that would employ residents. All of the company's profits would be donated to the Citadel. III Arms Co. was incorporated in Idaho in August. Its headquarters address is in Gaithersburg, Md., a suburb of Washington, D.C. A woman whose name is listed as a representative of the company could not be reached by phone Wednesday.
From McClatchyDC.com: "III Percent LLC — seemingly a reference to the “three percenter” militia movement — and Citadel Land Development LLC were created in Idaho last month, according to state records. One or two square miles of the Citadel would be protected by walls and towers, the website said, adding that the community “intends to become a premiere tourist destination for Americans from sea to sea and border-to-border.”
From me: The Citadel will not have a leader. It will not have an association of homeowners. It will have a list of rules all residents contract to obey (who buys your lifetime lease interest in the land and the house you presumably own because you built it if you're thrown out?), and it will have an employer. I'm wondering how long it might be until residents found they were living in a "company town?"
My advice for any considering it would be: Make sure the final location is within commuting distance of other jobs in a town big enough not to be overinfluenced economically by this community. In other words, add preparation for yet another possible calamity to your list. Sad to say, many enterprises that start with a set of ideals devolve into something quite different.

Communes: Not Just for Hippies and Mansons! - RC
[ In Reply To ..]I like that it's the firearms shop at the heart of the village.
Residents buy lifetime lease, paid off over 30 years, no credit check - necessary. Not exactly communal,
[ In Reply To ..]where residents share ownership. The gun factory would "employ" residents, while in communes there are no employees, only owners.
I'm afraid it's the specific lack of ownership rights, in addition to organization around an employer, for this isolated community that raised my eyebrows. Contracts would at least have to conform to state and federal laws, and the walls wouldn't block a court order.
This enterprise, of course, needs a source of income for the community, a couple even better with the tourism thing, but I'm wondering why it wasn't organized as a commune. There are actually a fair number of them around of various degree of elaborateness. Even in cities, where a group might get together to buy an apartment house, say.
Ah, yes. The freedom to live in a cross-emblazoned fortress - straight out of the Dark Ages.
[ In Reply To ..]Conspicuously absent from this website is how the community would respond to Idaho's natural disasters, i.e. floods, landslides, mudslides, wildfires, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, ice jams, etc, that have led to federal emergency area declarations. Obama's signed two of them since 2010. Then there's that tax-free zone declaration that very well could put them at odds with the state, regardless of how red the legislature and governor's mansion is.
RC, you're just carried away by the romance of it all. :) But perhaps - the factory might side to a town square.nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
LOL, Manson wishes he thought of this one - Fanatical Hypocrite
[ In Reply To ..]I saw this on Colbert last night on Hulu and I just love it. I wish way more of these would start. It's the perfect solution to our build up of crazy gun people. They are voluntarily signing up to live in their own forced labor camps. Who knew it would be so easy;)
As someone else pointed out, how are they going to respond to disasters? They use American currency, right? So if the economy collapses, won't they be forced to use their own internal currency or a barter/labor distribution system and then what difference is there between them and a Marxist commune, except that Marx never mentioned a gun-based economy. Besides the dubious pretend economic barrier between them and the USA and Idaho, their biggest threat (besides their insanely well-armed teenagers) would be a fire. One 4th of July accident or a lit cigarette in the grass and you've got a literal powder keg.
So, they promise a school system that doesn't indoctrinate you're children. But your school is ostensibly owned by a gun company and every 13-year-old is drafted and has to pass firearms proficiency and maintain a mini-ammo depot. So the correct wording would be "A school system that doesn't indoctrinate you're children in ways we disapprove of." Also, my citizenship in their commune depends on my child passing the proficiency course at age 13? So if my future Little Hypocrites are lousy shots I lose my house. Great. Good going junior, because you can't learn to kill a man we have to move.
I went to their blog too (this is my favorite website since I found the site for the Vivos Doom Bunker) and it has this quote: "Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others." ~ Thomas Jefferson
Somehow I feel like this wasn't what he was talking about, especially if you considered one of your basic liberties the right to NOT be a member of the militia. Every household must produce an able-bodied "Patriot" for the militia. I don't know what they do with the disabled or elderly, but don't ask what's in the meatloaf.
The tourism part is the best. Why would I go to a gun museum? Because the internet already did that. Why would I come to ski in a reclusive, mountain gun cult's land when I could go to any other mountain? Hunting there? Considering the amount of ammo they have I seriously doubt by the time I get there they will have animals left. There are so many national parks and resorts I can go to that don't have child soldiers running around.
Well, I better get moving. I have to go to each of our founding father's graves, dig 'em up and stop them from spinning.
My response to the Jefferson quote was that the - "lines drawn about us" are likely
[ In Reply To ..]to be somewhat different in that society than the outside society they're used to. In reading their application, etc., I see a community with far more limitations and constraints on individual freedom than in society in general.
Breech of contract can result in expulsion (of course) but also apparent forfeiture of a person's lease rights--the ones to enter the community and to the land under the house he built.
That said, I can see that--under good leadership--a community that might be stable and satisfying to some would be possible. Those twice-annual required musters would be big exciting events for everyone, under proper leadership terrific parties. For round pegs in round holes. As long as it and they stayed that way.
As for tourists? Who? Their own sort, of course. People who live in Los Angeles and Chicago and travel across the country to gaze enviously and wish they too could have that kind of freedom and security.
