It’s the same guy. And both articles are questionable, IMO.
I live in Virginia and have friends who live down there. They say it is worse than this describes. They hear gunshots and other alarming sounds, and can’t figure out why they are allowed to do what they do. There is constant traffic of strange people in and out. I apologize for the writer’s lack of a variety of styles. But the fact that such a compound is here bugs me no end.
Yeah, the author of the article here is the same guy who caused quite a stir a little while ago with this story: Springtime in Islamberg - Radical Muslim paramilitary compound flourishes in upper New York state.
I applaud you for being skeptical about what you read on the 'net. I wish more people had that skill. In this case I'd love to know more about what makes these articles seem "questionable" to you. I'm not trying to be a smart-ass -- I'm genuinely curious.
To me, his articles have the ring of truth because what he's described is so similar to the articles from Gates of Vienna from late 2005, which also caused quite a stir.
What is questionable about his writings?
