Revealed: far-right venture capitalist has contracts with US for ammunition

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A Guardian investigation has revealed that the company has current US federal government and law enforcement contracts, even though Fischer regularly promotes anti-government conspiracy theories on social media.

The Guardian reported last month that the secretive, invitation-only fraternal organization was founded by former shampoo magnate, Charles Haywood, who has mused on his website about his possible future as a “warlord” at the head of an “armed patronage network” which might engage in “more-or-less open warfare with the federal government” in a post-collapse US.

Following the Guardian’s reporting, Haywood and SACR attracted broad criticism, including some from others on the Christian right like Josh Buice, an Atlanta-based Baptist pastor.

Their funds will be invested in companies that “embody a distinct right-wing cultural thesis and/or provide technology or infrastructure that is strategically valuable to the right”, according to a post on X from Santiago Pliego, a New Founding employee.

New Founding’s earliest publicly recorded income came from Firebrand Pac, a now defunct political committee whose main activities included producing a series of videos featuring the Claremont Institute’s primary funder, Thomas Klingenstein, warning that conservatives were in a “cold civil war” with “woke communists”.

Fischer was a Claremont Lincoln fellow in 2020, in the same class as the Breitbart tech reporter Allum Bokhari, and Michael Knowles, the Daily Wire pundit who told the Conservative Political Action Coalition conference last March that “transgenderism must be eliminated”.

- It really does explain why Republicans admire Russia so much. They embrace Oligarchy, because they think they are Oligarchs-in-training.

  Well, that and they're getting blackmailed by Russia.
