Mary Ann Morgan, the Kenai Peninsula "sovereign citizen" militia member arrested at the Canadian border in October after trying to enter the country with a handgun, also possessed bomb-making documents and instructions on how to make the poison ricin and carry concealed weapons, according to federal court documents filed Friday in Fairbanks. Prosecutors asked the court to let them hold her without bail, reports the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. Morgan, 53, is "a danger to the community, a flight risk and is totally incapable of abiding by any conditions issued by this court concerning pretrial release given her sovereign citizen beliefs," prosecutors said.

• Information downloaded from the Internet on ricin, a deadly toxin derived from castor beans.

FAIRBANKS - Federal prosecutors are requesting an Alaska Peacemakers Militia officer be held without bail after she was stopped at the Canada border with a handgun and hoard of documents that included instructions on bomb-making, manufacturing poison and carrying concealed weapons.

In a court filing Friday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven Skrocki said evidence against Mary Morgan, 53, “provides a clear determination of a danger to the community and risk of flight,” which justifies her being held without bail. A bail hearing is scheduled on Wednesday in Fairbanks.

Morgan is secretary of the militia led by Schaeffer Cox, one of four defendants facing federal charges tied to an alleged plot to kill a federal judge and tax agent. A series of related state charges were dropped last month after a judge ruled FBI surveillance on the group violated Alaska law.

Morgan was stopped Oct. 27 at the Alaska Highway border crossing into Canada and was detained after declaring she had a firearm. Because of a 2001 felony conviction for interfering with a child custody agreement, Morgan isn’t allowed to carry the .32-caliber Beretta she reportedly had in her possession.

1. So did the Canadians arrest her or she was coming back to the U.S. side?

2. Canada turned her over

A member of an extreme-right Alaskan militia is in police custody after trying to enter Canada with a concealed pistol and a “hoard of documents” on bomb-making and biotoxins, according to Alaskan court documents.

On Oct. 27, Mary Ann Morgan, 53, pulled up to the border crossing station in Beaver Creek, one of only two border crossings between Alaska and the Yukon Territory. When officers asked if she had any firearms in the car, she told them she had a Beretta .32 — a semi-automatic concealed-carry pistol — in the back of her truck.

As a convicted felon, Ms. Morgan was prohibited from carrying the weapon in Alaska, much less Canada. Canadian border agents immediately turned her over to their Alaskan counterparts.
In a search of the back of Ms. Morgan’s Chevy S-10 pickup, Alaska border officials discovered not only the Beretta, but also scrawled notes on how to build a pipe bomb and extensive research on how to create Ricin, a deadly toxin extracted from castor beans.

5. Books on how to make bombs, how to make poisons

These are just militia porn.

Nothing illegal there.

A felon carrying a firearm, well that's a different matter. Big trouble.

I have books on making explosives, gun powder, IEDs, even bombs.

But I use them for an entirely different reason. Although only one book has been published, I have written several others. Mostly political thrillers, showing the GOP to be evil, blue dogs clueless, and how liberal ideas can save the day. There is terror, foreign and domestic, murder, violence and humor. I need to get the details right, so I have collected some strange reference material.

If I really wanted to, I could build something quite explosive just from the things in my house and studio. But I abhor violence and would never even try. Still, the HS and TSA would be quite surprised at what I have.
