24. Something big was/is brewing. Plans for the Texas compound has been known about
for almost a decade by authorities in AZ and Utah.

State law enforcement has been monitoring Colorado City very closely but have not made a move due to the political fallout from a case with even the slightest weakness. The Texas compound is reported by refugees (I think that term applies here) to have heavy stockpiles of sophisticated weaponry and as the film points out the cult has hundreds of millions of dollars.

Does anyone else have the feeling that this was about to (almost literally) explode? Jeffs was never shy about threatening violence against authorities knowing full well they wouldn't touch him without a diamond-hard case--and now he's in prison--a perfect martyr for the sick, sad old farts who exploited and hurt these women and children.

As a longtime observer of the situation, I KNOW state authorities wouldn't touch them without some rock-solid provocation. Was Jeffs' sister seeing the present?
