1. These guys don't want a 51st state. They want a religious war.

From the article:

Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich, who says he's been feeding information he gets about Shea to the FBI since at least 2013, accuses Shea of trying to corrupt the youth.

"Matt Shea is involved in the radicalization of young people," Knezovich says. He's particularly concerned with Weaver's involvement.

"This is an individual that is training young minds in radical terroristic type training. They're training them to go against their own government," Knezovich says about Weaver and Team Rugged. "It's a hardcore anti-government ideology, married with the Christian Identity white-supremacist mindset. In any other vernacular, you'd be calling that a 'holy war.' It would be a jihad."
