Already, state Rep. Matt Shea and some of his closest supporters have made physical preparations for a holy war, one that would help them establish their long-envisioned 51st state, their Redoubt, their Christian homeland. Numerous emails and documents, obtained by The Spokesman-Review through multiple sources, shed new light on some of those preparations and the paranoia that has fueled them.

Leaked emails, first reported by The Guardian on Wednesday, as well as a video on Shea’s public Facebook page, reveal the Spokane Valley lawmaker has had close ties with a group that trained children, teens and men in their early 20s for religious combat.

The woman, whose name was not released, wore a life vest and held on to a gasoline can for flotation, according to the Grant County Sheriff’s Office. She was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle to be treated for hypothermia and inhalation of gas fumes.
