Among other things, SPIKE trainings are designed to enable participants to create so-called “Christian Covenant Communities,” which are essentially self-sufficient, paramilitary enclaves within which patriots can enact their own laws and dispense their own brand of justice, separate from what they believe to be illegally constituted authority [the legitimate authority of lawmakers]. Gritz and his colleague, Gerald “Jack” McLamb have begun major construction on one such community in central Idaho, near the small town of Kamiah.
