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, a further examination of the red county/blue county divide.

Idaho judge sentences 5 from white nationalist group to jail for conspiracy to riot at Pride event. JWR’s Comments: This incident had all of the telltale signs of being orchestrated by out-of-state agitators. And indeed, we later learned that these Astroturf Agit-Proppers came from 11 different states. The leader of the group is a young statist-socialist from Texas. It is widely alleged that the “Patriot Front” group is thoroughly infiltrated by paid Federal informants and it is they who are actually directing the group, to be Controlled Opposition or False Flag agitators.
Montana
Teen dies after rock fall in Glacier National Park.
The article begins:
“A 14-year-old girl died Monday after rocks fell on her family vehicle.
The girl’s hometown is identified as Farr West City, Utah. The Flathead County Sheriff’s Office doesn’t typically release the names of juvenile victims in fatalities.
A press release from the park says the girl’s family was in a vehicle near the East Tunnel on Going-to-the-Sun Road when falling rocks struck their car. The park says the rocks ranged in size from fist-size to 12-inch diameter. They estimate the slide could have filled the bed of a pickup truck.
The rocks hit the top of the vehicle around 7 p.m. shattering the rear windshield, fatally injuring the girl. The incident also injuring her parents and two other children in the vehicle.”
