Westport Observatory<p>There's an interesting Moon/planetary alignment in the skies early morning Friday, before sunrise. It's hardly the "Smiley Face" clickbait you may have read, but it still looks cool.

Chuck Darwin<p>SACR and its members harp on the idea that America is in a fatal stage of rot, and that they are an oppressed people waiting to rise up on behalf of a silent majority. </p><p>The SACR website speaks to the deeply held grievance and sense of a lack of masculine purpose which animates the group. </p><p>SACR exists, the website says, because “a man is no longer encouraged to fly to the stars,” <br>because “those who rule today spit on such ambitions; <br>they corrupt the sinews of America.”</p><p>“They have alienated men from family, community, and God. </p><p>We counter and conquer this poison, rebuilding a society where a man can find genuine fulfilment, <br>true to his nature and calling, <br>rejoicing in virtue and vitality,” the website says, <br>before offering a Google docs link where men can apply. </p><p>At the end of the day, SACR’s members are not oppressed. </p><p>Claremont is free to publish whatever it likes<br> — it’s widely seen as tremendously influential on the right generally and in MAGA circles specifically. </p><p>SACR chapters can meet; Haywood can blog<br> — in fact, on Tuesday he wrote an encomium to The Camp of the Saints, a 1970s French novel in which a horde of Indian immigrants overwhelms, degrades, and exterminates the white West. </p><p>“The goal of the Left was always total expropriation of white people and then, if at all possible, their extermination, <br>a goal made explicit by many powerful people in 2020,” Haywood wrote. </p><p>“How, given this history, should white Americans respond?”</p><p>SACR may be his answer. </p><p>In emails from November 2020, Yenor wrote to Skyler Kressin, the head of the SACR chapter in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, and on the group’s national board. </p><p>Yenor sent a screenshot of an Amazon link to <br>“The Super Afrikaners,” <br>a 1979 nonfiction account of the <a href="https://c.im/tags/Afrikaner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Afrikaner</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Broederbond" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Broederbond</span></a>, <br>a semi-secret society which ruled South Africa under apartheid. </p><p>“That good?” Yenor titled the subject line, highlighting the book — long out of print — and its $95.62 price. </p><p>“That’s the one,” Kressin replied. </p><p>South Africa, with its visions of white settlers driven away from status and wealth, appear consistently in Haywood’s writings, and in Fischer’s as well. </p><p>The Broederbond, an Afrikaner-only, Calvinist-only group of elites which functioned as a series of hundreds of independent “cells” across the country, offers an eerie reflection of SACR’s structure. </p><p>Williams told TPM that the Afrikaner Broederbond came up in conversations over what SACR would be, but denied that it served as a model for the group. </p><p>The grievance, perceived loss of status, and lack of metaphysical meaning that these men feel are very real, to them. </p><p>But there’s enough in America’s own history to understand the aims and tradition in which SACR is operating.

Chuck Darwin<p>Perhaps the most startling element of SACR is one of its long-term objectives. </p><p>Per the mission statement obtained by TPM, SACR aims to have its members form the government of an “aligned future regime.” </p><p>“They would be next generation<br>—not founding participants, but those who joined as the project of civic renewal grows deep roots,” the document reads. </p><p>“That is, men who ‘grow up in the system.’”</p><p>Other goals include providing “preferential treatment for members, especially in business,” <br>and to both “coordinate allied fraternal networks” <br>and “defend fraternal networks … against attacks by those opposed to civic renewal, and strongly deter such attacks.” </p><p>In Yenor’s Boise chapter, SACR members attempted to craft a “<a href="https://c.im/tags/Statement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Statement</span></a> on <a href="https://c.im/tags/Marriage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Marriage</span></a>” in which local church leaders would proclaim an “intentional effort to celebrate the benefits of family life” because the “culture is hostile to Christian marriage.” </p><p>To do that, the group would “promote marriage publicly through a pro-marriage sticker” to be spread around the Boise region. </p><p>The same group held events with speakers, including writer and policy researcher <a href="https://c.im/tags/Aaron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Aaron</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Renn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Renn</span></a>. </p><p>At one point, emails show, Yenor pitched an Idaho news website to Claremont funders called Action Idaho, saying that SACR would take care of back-end work for the venture. </p><p>Other public remarks from members point towards the group’s activities. </p><p>After The Guardian published its initial story on the group over the summer, a small controversy erupted among evangelicals who regarded Haywood’s views as dangerous and the prospect of a certain strain of Christianity taking control of the government as troubling. </p><p>Fischer hit back in a podcast appearance, describing SACR as a “big-tent thing where men get together.”</p><p>“So the local chapters or lodges will have a meeting and maybe 15 guys get together and a speaker comes in and talks about something political, sometimes it’s a political candidate or whatever. <br>And then we learn and sometimes we just hang out,” he said. </p><p>“There’s no sort of great <a href="https://c.im/tags/secrecy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>secrecy</span></a> associated with it. There’s a little degree of <a href="https://c.im/tags/confidentiality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>confidentiality</span></a> because there’s guys there who are at companies where even being associated with a group that is all men would be seen as suspicious.”</p><p> <a href="https://c.im/tags/faithfulness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow

Chuck Darwin<p>Who is excluded, in some sense, reveals more about SACR than who is allowed in.</p><p>The group bans anyone who is not Christian: <br>Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and others. </p><p>But it goes further than that and bars “non-trinitarian” Christians; <br>Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, Christian Scientists, and others cannot be SACR members. </p><p>Williams said that the religious exclusivity came from the “long and robust tradition of the intersection between <a href="https://c.im/tags/Trinitarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trinitarian</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Christianity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Christianity</span></a> in a broad sort of ecumenical sense and American civic leadership and statesmanship.” </p><p>“Too much ecumenism is sometimes counterproductive in these sorts of ventures,” he added. </p><p>“Which is not to say that we don’t of course have nothing but toleration in the great American tradition for all faiths as long as they’re genuinely <br>— as long as they are not hostile to American principles and notions of natural rights and constitutionalism.”</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Women" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Women</span></a> are not allowed in SACR, whatever their faith. </p><p>The group emphasizes a traditional role for the man in the household, a robust and muscular exercise of temporal authority by men, and the forceful application of male dominion in civic affairs. </p><p>Yenor, the Boise State professor, told TPM in a text that the group’s exclusivity was a way “to bring men together for real community and fraternity,” allowing members to “build each other up and encourage responsibility” in public and private life. </p><p> <a href="https://c.im/tags/cold" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener

Chuck Darwin<p>Under Williams’ leadership, Claremont has become well-known for a vision of America in which the country as we know it is all but lost, set to be replaced by a “regime” that its leaders hope to craft to come after the current, “cold civil war” concludes. </p><p>While introducing another podcast discussion between Haywood and Anton, Williams called Haywood a “friend of recent years” who was willing to discuss the country’s “decaying republic.”</p><p>“The phrase <a href="https://c.im/tags/cold" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cold</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/civil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>civil</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/war" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>war</span></a> is chosen deliberately,” Williams told TPM. “I hope it remains cold indefinitely.”</p><p>It’s not only about the republic. Internal SACR messages show that the group envisions itself as stewards of a hard brand of Christianity. </p><p>Yenor, in one message that he planned to use for recruitment, summed it up:<br> “Our belief is that the country’s track is unsustainable, and the only way to secure a future for Christian families is to keep and take back space now closed to Christians.”</p><p> <a

Over the following year, a chapter in Dallas, Texas, and three in Idaho were founded. </p><p>Haywood has said that additional chapters exist; Williams put the total number at beneath one dozen. </p><p>Among the emails obtained by TPM are ones that show the organization’s reach. </p><p>In one January 2023 exchange, Haywood cc’ed a group of people while asking for a board meeting to discuss SACR finances. <br>The men on the exchange do not appear to be down on their luck. </p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Fischer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fischer</span></a>, a venture capitalist who leads the group’s Dallas chapter, graduated from Harvard Law.
