Stop trying to hide, it will never work. Better to fight and have a chance to win. Solzhenitsyn wrote about a village who hid from the tsar over their religious beliefs. A Soviet recognizance plane found them and they were all send to gulag and killed. Cowards run.
I've been thinking about this as well, just haven't summoned up the balls to follow through with any of my contacts and start a group.
Once you get a couple thousand fighting men in a group, it's pretty much over, you're free. The US government could barely handle Waco, and they've lost a massive quantity of their legitimacy and power since then.
My personal idea is to start up a mercenary group first, and "legally" hunt down cartels, to both generate funds and attract more men to the group. Here in Oregon, there are hundreds of abandoned mines that with a bit of persuasion, could be bought cheap and made into a fortress for said mercenary group.
The long term issue is that Oregon is not an ideal area to declare independence. It's warm and food abundant enough that the spics will eventually overwhelm the western half of it.
That's what I'm thinking though I haven't scoped out a particular location. Such a group that can operate outside of the clutches of any government could easily explore many avenues of revenue generation, from darkweb shenanigans, mercenary groups, and the development of various suppressed technologies.
With the right list of money making strategies, you can also provide an excellent incentive to attract exactly the kind of population you're looking for, fighting age men, intelligent chemists and physicists that share our goals and aspirations, etc. I figure the next logical step would be to branch out into nodes with underground facilities across the world and eventually create new outposts that ratchet up the inaccessibility from outsiders with the long term goal of colonizing another planet.
It would be an excellent environment for instilling long term strategies directly into the culture and shared belief systems, which could maintain a coherent set of goals and strategies over hundreds or thousands of years.
