Claremont Institute officials closely involved with Society for American Civic Renewal, which experts say is rooted in Christian nationalism

The president of the rightwing Claremont Institute and another senior Claremont official are both closely involved with the shadowy Society for American Civic Renewal (SACR), an exclusive, men-only fraternal order which aims to replace the US government with an authoritarian “aligned regime”, and which experts say is rooted in extreme Christian nationalism and religious autocracy.

The revelations emerge from documents gathered in public records requests, including emails between several senior members of SACR: Claremont president Ryan P Williams; its director of state coalitions and Boise State University professor Scott Yenor; and others including former soap manufacturer and would-be “warlord” Charles Haywood.

    For being called a thinktank, they aren’t doing much thinking. If I was in a thinktank, regardless of where the money came from I would use it for good in some obscure way, fuck rich people.

      For some “thinktanks” their job is simply to reinterpret information and release it formatted to support an agenda.
