Revealed: Charles Haywood, creator of the Society for American Civic Renewal, has said he might serve as ‘warlord’ at the head of an ‘armed patronage network’

The founder and sponsor of a far-right network of secretive, men-only, invitation-only fraternal lodges in the US is a former industrialist who has frequently speculated about his future as a warlord after the collapse of America, a Guardian investigation has found.

Federal and state tax and company filings show that the Society for American Civic Renewal (SACR) and its creator, Charles Haywood, also have financial ties with the far-right Claremont Institute.

SACR’s most recent IRS filing names Haywood as the national organization’s principal officer. Other filings identify three lodges in Idaho – in Boise, Coeur d’Alene and Moscow – and another in Dallas, Texas.

SACR’s public-facing presence is confined to a slick one-page website advertising the organization’s goal as “civilizational renaissance”, and a society “with strong leadership committed to family and culture”.

The site claims SACR is “raising accountable leaders to help build thriving communities of free citizens” who will rebuild “the frontier-conquering spirit of America”. It condemns “those who rule today”, saying that they “corrupt the sinews of America”, “[alienate] men from family, community, and God” and promising to “counter and conquer this poison”.

It also prominently features SACR’s cross-like insignia or “mark” which it describes variously as symbolizing “sword and shield” and the rejection of “Modernist philosophies and heresies”.

    Get in here y’all, new Right wing villain just dropped!

    This is probably his Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheWorthyHouse

    This may be his blog: https://theworthyhouse.com/authors/

    Their website: https://sacr.us/ (look they even have a completely non-threatening sword! /s)

    And they sound just like the Sons of Jacob.

    I’m honestly getting real tired of all of these right wing groups running around wishing for the collapse of the country, or worse, actively participating in trying to bring it about, like what is the FBI even doing? Oh that’s right they’re suppressing investigations into Trump and friends.

      But that was long ago, and one thing black people definitely don’t suffer anymore is oppression. Rather, many dish it out, aided by their allies of other races, as seen most dramatically in the terroristic Floyd Riots, but it happens every day in every organization in America. The targets are, most of all, those at the bottom of today’s social hierarchy—heterosexual (that is, normal) white men outside the professional-managerial elite.

      ultimately no final question can be solved without conflict, usually involving violence. Thus, his style tends to be megalomaniacal and apocalyptic. He likes to fight.

      emphasis mine, from your link

      This guy is a kook, and not in a fun way.

        No, absolutely not in a fun way, at all.

        He likes to fight

        How much you want to bet this guy has never been in the military and has probably never been in a fight against a person he wasn’t already a bully of? I haven’t found much yet on this guys background but the bios he’s provided all sound like the type of Chickenhawk rhetoric you constantly see from guys who’ve never really had a taste of violence not going their way, never had a good solid ass kicking.

        I’m a big believer in knowing my enemy and I’d like to know a whole lot more about this fascist piece of shit.

        He’s been LARPing way too long. He hasn’t tasted what terror his ideal world would bring about for HIM yet.

          Guys like him don’t care about that shit, as long as they’re the terror, and he absolutely seems like he wants to be, guys like this don’t care about consequences of their actions, they just want to control. He’s what happens when a bully grows up but never grows out of being a bully.

      When, around the dinner table, I complain about politics, I often then turn to my 12-year-old twins, and ask “What is the solution?” They chant in unison, “Cleansing Nuclear Fire!” Thus, one of my children got me this desk ornament for Father’s Day:

      Well isn’t that just solid parenting.
