Lmao at the wackjob Shampoo guy who thinks he's going to become a Warlord.
It really does explain why Republicans admire Russia so much. They embrace Oligarchy, because they think they are Oligarchs-in-training.
This dude's a little farther out than most though. He wants to be in warhammer 40k, lol
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”.

A far-right figure who is involved in a secretive invitation-only fraternal organization, whose founder has spoken of being at war with the US government, is also part-owner of an ammunition company that has contracts with the federal government and law enforcement, the Guardian can reveal.
Nathaniel Fischer – a venture capitalist, former Claremont Institute fellow and president of the Dallas lodge of the secretive Society for American Civic Renewal (SACR) – is also part-owner of Texas-based ammunition manufacturer S1 Armory, which trades as Stand 1 Armory.
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.
Fischer, 38, of Dallas, Texas, is also CEO of New Founding, described by him as a “venture fund for the American right”, which is now seeking wealthy investors for a venture fund that will power explicitly rightwing startups.
that's hilarious.. great way for him to flush a bunch of money down some drains, if that's what he needs..
