This is sort of fascinating, they say their mission is "to pursue peace through nature, arts, justice, community, and faith." Normally you'd expect that to involve a rejection of the state's (state as in USA, not CT) definition of justice, but they constantly host speeches by federal agents from the FBI, Border Patrol, the US Army etc.

Their focus on "environmental crimes" is almost entirely about individual actors (like poaching and trafficking) rather than anything that challenges the status quo.

Seeing that a hedge fund owner was involved in the creation really brings it all together for me, but what a strange organization!

Very strange. I'm going this afternoon, and will report back.

Good luck to you! It does seem like an elaborate tax shelter funneling money to local and overseas police forces, so if you're into that sort of thing it should be fun.

I'll limit my purchases to one cup of tea. Hopefully that's not enough to fund any sketchy private militias.

If we don’t hear from you, should we assume you’ve surrendered your worldly possessions and are devoting yourself to the spiritual journey?

Oh and report back what flavor the kool-aid is.

I need Reddit to be my safety net here. If I say ANYTHING positive about Blork, take that as a sign...
