This weekly column features news stories and event announcements from around the American Redoubt region. (Idaho, Montana, eastern Oregon, eastern Washington, and Wyoming.) Much of the region is also more commonly known as The Inland Northwest. We also mention companies of interest to preppers and survivalists that are located in the American Redoubt region. Today, another look at the Patriot Front agitprop group. (See the Idaho section.)
Idaho
Patriot Front members sentenced to 5 days in jail, banned from Coeur d’Alene parks. JWR’s Comments: It is widely believed that the Patriot Front group is an agent provocateur operation that is either sponsored by or fully infiltrated by and co-opted by the FBI. It has also been called agitprop. I concur. These racist-statist clowns should be avoided!

Wyoming
Old Coal Mine in Wyoming Could Be Worth $37 Billion. The article begins:
“Randall Atkins says he “didn’t know the difference between rare earths and rare coins” when he paid $2 million for an old coal mine in northern Wyoming. But the Ramaco Resources founder and CEO has learned a lot since then: The Wall Street Journal reports that he was “surprised and humbled” when tests revealed the mine, which he bought sight unseen, could hold deposits of rare-earth minerals worth around $37 billion. The find was made with the help of researchers from the Energy Department’s National Energy Technology Laboratory, who predicted that the area could hold rare-earth deposits and asked Atkins if they could run tests a few years after he bought the mine in 2011.
Researchers believe the Ramaco site could hold the largest “unconventional”—with deposits in coal beds instead of hard rock—source of rare earths and critical minerals in the country.”
