He cites chapters in all 50 states, claims 2.2 million members, and shows locations in Tigerton and Walnut Ridge as part of a nationwide network linked to a Life Science Church compound. Wisconsin officials question the numbers while noting gun displays and legal clashes with authorities.

Former Nicaraguan counter intelligence officer Miguel Bolanos Hunter alleges a government plan tied espionage expulsion of three U.S. diplomats to a broader strategy to smear opponents before 1985 elections. He said U.S. officials were tipped off and that diplomats were filmed with labor unions and church and press figures. In a separate San Antonio report, Valero executive Joseph J. Piotrowski drowned in a pool, ruled accidental, with his body found by his 8 year old son.
