Today, we’re bringing you a bonus episode of Project 7, the Beacon’s podcast mini-series about vanished militia leader David Burgert, typically available only to members of the Flathead Beacon Editor’s Club. Join the club for as little as $5 per month to hear behind-the-scenes conversations and extended interviews from Project 7.
Project 7 just released its third episode and on today’s COVID-19 podcast we’re bringing the two shows together. Travis McAdam of the Montana Human Rights Network has been monitoring extremism in Montana for two decades, and he sees some parallels between the heyday of the modern militia movement around the turn of the century and the recent protests in Kalispell led by a controversial doctor.
