I was told the feds put their folks up in a separate housing facility at the local air force base. They also had a snitch inside and the word is that's where they got the MGs and explosives.
OK, folks. From the praxis side of things two more points to consider about Feds.
First, when they come to bust you, they have to STAY somewhere. They take time to get there, set up, plan, sometimes rehearse. A wide-awake friend at the local airbase, motel or other common sense gathering/training facility can pay huge dividends. Especially if he/she is a cop because cops gossip like old women. Even if you are not the target, it pays to study them as they assemble or, if you are a bit impish, call the local media and or radio talk show and tip others off to "something big happening." They really hate that.
Second, and here's a big clue: the guy who comes to you with illegal shit is a snitch, got it? Seems obvious, but some folks are really that stupid not to notice. By my count, in the 90s and early 2000s, the ATF and FBI tried to entrap me on no less than 14 occasions with "can't miss" deals on automatic weapons, explosives, stolen military night vision and pyrotechnics, etc, hardly any of the attempts subtle enough to have a prayer of a chance of success. I would just pick up the phone and call the Alabama Bureau of Investigation. Then the snitch would disappear and in time another one would appear.
Finally it got to the point when (and this was sometime in 1996 if I recall correctly), after the fifth one in two months, I got a call of complaint from ABI: I was wasting their time, pissing off the Feds and the blow-back was coming to ABI. "Can't you just tell them you're on to them without involving us?" And the answer was, no, I couldn't. Don't think that snitches/provocateurs/infiltrators take a mere "no" for an answer.
Bob Starr of the Georgia militia thought so and thought that ended it, but the two snitches (brothers, if I recall) that he told to bugger off on offers of explosives later snuck on his property and buried pipe bomb makings and boom stuff without his knowledge. Then came the raid and Bob ended up in federal prison.
A word to the wise, they say, is sufficient.

Mike, thank you so much for the updates on this. Obviously the government has come completely unhinged from its Constitutional roots and has become a much, much greater danger to the law-abiding public than ordinary criminals in most respects.
I hope more details on this Alaska raid do follow.
On a broader note, Mike, I have not thanked you properly for your work in exposing the ATF's wrongdoing in the Gunwalker case, although I've been following it since the beginning. Sadly, the same goes for the other so-called "journalists" who have run this story without the decency to credit you and David Codrea for the fine work that you have both done in working to spread truth, preserve liberty, and resist tyranny.
If there is anything you guys need or want from the community, please just ask. After all, you guys are heroes.
THANK YOU!!!
NOAH BOYDSTON
Back when I was, ahem, a "guerrilla farmer" (long, long ago and far away), a whole valley full of us got busted.
Some time afterward, while the legal machinations were still pending, a car pulled up in my drive while many of the accused were assembled at my house for a pot luck dinner. Two young guys I didn't know offered to sell us some alleged C-4 out of their trunk, with which we were to defend ourselves from "the Man".
They were sent packing.
Even way back then I hadn't fallen off the cabbage truck just yesterday, and it's a lesson I have never forgotten.
