BTW by "Militia" they mean "Terrorists."

The gigachad of all gigachads. I wish him wellz wherever his is rn...
That dude has enormous balls.
I like his message to his former militia members and the paranoia they will have in the future from his actions.
I saw the headlines when this initially broke but just got around to reading the propublica piece on Monday and....holy shit that was a ride.
Highly recommended read. If the US survives to 2030 I can absolutely see the story being adapted into a spy thriller.
If you liked this, read Confessions of am Economic Hitman. Honestly I think its better. And true.
This is Propublica at their best. Definitely read this (they have an audio option as well if you rather)
READ THIS
It reads as if it's a very well made movie script but it's all real, it's incredible actually
Beyond the state of these militia groups it's very effective at destroying my writers block
Kinda reminds me of Malone, an 80's action movie with Burt Reynolds about a White Nationalist buying up property in Oregon to facilitate his terrorist cells, but without the infiltration part.
Well that's uniquely distressing
just finished the article - this one's worth the time to read!
