and they evidently haven't yet gotten the meme that they are supposed to hide their utter hatred for any people of color (due to the national org. attempting to recruit blacks in other areas of the country)...they are the most disgustingly racist bastards I've ever dealt with. Thanks for that article, I hadn't seen it and didn't even know that this area was now their focus. It makes sense tho, with all of the old disgruntled Aryan Nations "armies" we have running around, since they busted them up in Idaho. I do know that the Sovereigns here are armed and once they find out your politics, there's really no telling what they are capable of...big cause for caution, to put it mildly.

Here's the piece on the guy they just sentenced here:

‘Sovereign’ Washington group draws federal fire
Four indicted in ongoing investigation into radical anti-government group; threats against officials

(a bit off-topic, we were targeted by a really wacked-out laroucher some time back, after a big fight I had with them in front of a grocery store...they got our number and harassed me endlessly for years, til they finally moved away. Not the type of people that can be reasoned with, either, once you piss them off.)
