This is the final News From The American Redoubt column for calendar year 2019. I’m taking this opportunity to briefly express my thanks and give recognition to some of the key leaders and promoters of the American Redoubt movement. They include:
- Pastor Chuck Baldwin of Liberty Fellowship, Kalispell, Montana
- Alex Barron of the North Idaho Republican Party central committee. He is the founder of the Charles Carroll Society, and now a candidate for the Idaho State Senate. His campaign deserves your support.
- Don Bradway.
- Shari Dovale and the Editors of Redoubt News
- The Editors of The Inland Northwest Report
- John Loeffler of Steel on Steel News.
- Todd Savage of Black Rifle Real Estate
- Jonathan Rawles (my #1 Son) of SurvivalRealty.com
- John Jacob Schmidt (a pseudonym), the host of Radio Free Redoubt and founder of the American Redoubt Radio Operators Network (AmRRON)
- Representative Heather Scott
- Representative Matt Shea. I must mention that Shea is currently being mercilessly hounded by the Democrat leadership of the Washington State Legislature. Their recent report laughably said that Shea had “participated in an act of domestic terrorism.” Shea immediately issued a rebuttal, noting that he had been denied due process. He has also issued a more detailed rebuttal.
- Chris Walsh of Revolutionary Realty
My sincere thanks to all of you! It is gratifying to see that our internal migration movement has been so successful. The in-migration of conservative Christians and Jews to the Redoubt states is growing larger every year. In sheer numbers, our growing movement has absolutely dwarfed the concurrent in-migration of liberals from various coastal states. Conservative newcomers out-number liberals by at least a four-to-one ratio. And to further bolster our numbers, Redoubters demonstrably have larger families. So we are definitely winning, demographically!
I’d also like to recognize the efforts of René Holaday and the other organizers of the Liberty State partition movement. Although it is a completely separate movement, the goals of the Liberty State movement dovetail nicely with those of the American Redoubt movement. By the way, I recommend that you take a listen to the new Liberty State Radio podcast. There are now 15 archived episodes.
Likewise, I want to recognize the pioneering efforts of Boston T. Party and the Free State Wyoming project. It too has a lot of common goals with the American Redoubt movement. Free State Wyoming pre-dated the Redoubt movement by many years.
This may sound odd, but I’d also like to give a hat tip to the leftist journalists of The Inlander and The Spokesman-Review. Without realizing it, even with their biased reporting they have given the American Redoubt movement some valuable publicity. Their many failed attempts to smear us are evidence that the Law of Unintended Consequences has not been repealed.
Lastly, I want to express my sincere gratitude to the native born land-owners of the Redoubt states. Thank you for making your many new conservative and libertarian neighbors feel welcome.
For those of you who live outside of the Redoubt: If you feel convicted to do so, then make the move, soon.
And to all of my readers: Please pray for the Redoubt, daily! – JWR
“Many hands makes ‘work’ light”, or to that effect. As a reader since 2007, I believe Survivalblog.com has been, and will more likely be a valuable resource like no other, if more folks make reference to survivalblog.com in their travels on the internet. I drop a link to this site regularly, and have been thanked by others for providing it.
The censorship, shadow banning, or otherwise suppression of this kind of content will likely continue, and become an increasingly significant problem should readership decline over time. I believe this site can continue to act as a ‘brain trust’, and has the potential to persist even under extreme measures to remove it from the internet.
I am currently busy with a number of projects, a bit of gun smithing, reloading, and antenna making, so I’ll participate by commenting when I can, and by dropping the link at my frequently visited sites where there are like- minded viewers. On You Tube, simply type the name of this site, and include the ‘.com’ part. It should look like this, and will turn blue in color if it has been converted automatically into a link:

James, thanks for the reference to Liberty State – I had not heard of this movement.
On a similar topic, I’m curious what your views are on the State of Jefferson movements in Oregon and California – and the possibility of a combined Jefferson from those two initiatives.
“Idaho has some of the harshest marijuana laws in the nation. Possession of any more than three ounces of pot is a felony, and a conviction for selling marijuana could mean ten years in prison and $30,000 in fines depending on how much is involved and how many prior convictions a person has.” [From Find Law site]
God Bless Idaho. ~ Many other States are turning into a “Drug Zombie Heaven” ~ with all the societal problems that follow.

Idaho: A place for families to raise wholesome children. Contrast Idaho with California! People that want their kids to end-up collecting Welfare, living on the sidewalk, and taking illegal drugs, would be more likely to make a move to California.
Pray for these drug addicted people too.
GGHD, I commend you for inviting us to pray for these drug addicted people, too. Making poor life choices does not exclude one from God’s family. Each of us, whatever path we have chosen, is a child of God.
Carry on
Once a Marine; always a Marine.
Well said. Amen
Yes, Always. (Current status just considered as ‘demobilized, on standby’)
The Oath….is forever.
