An explosive behind the scenes look at the Oath Keepers- what makes them tick, who they are, and what they Really stand for. The Oath Keepers first made a name for themselves with the infamous Bundy Ranch standoff in 2014. They have continued through to the Us Capitol insurrection in early 2021. The Oath Keepers including many former military members have become one of the largest anti-government extremist groups in the United States, labeled one of the most dangerous domestic terror threats by the Fbi. There have been countless articles and a few books written about the group, but nothing like this. Author Jason Van Tatenhove knows them from the inside. The Perils of Extremism is a first-hand account of the aging punk-rock journalist from Colorado as he was embedded with Stewart Rhodes and that most infamous militia, the Oath Keepers, as well as details from his time testifying to the United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack both in person live on Tv on July 12, 2022 and during three and a half hours of taped deposition in March 2022. Jason takes the readers along on a journey that started with the Bundy Ranch Stand-off and continued with two more armed standoffs in Oregon and Montana. Jason was then offered a job as the national media director and associate editor for the Oath Keepers. He moved his family up to the Eureka, Montana area to start his job, where he found himself.
