Appalachia, sorry about your crappy neighbors.

Back in January, TradFash New Columbia Movement posted about “their friends” Nate Fischer’s Twitter post about his company, New Founding, which has a hiring agency for “like-minded people with like-minded organizations.” At the time, we dug a little into the org to be like, “whut, you made an employment agency for Christian Nationalists? Wait, whuuuut, you’re building a town for them, too?”

A little extra digging found Jake Meador’s thread about how the leadership behind New Founding (and partner org American Reformer Magazine) is maybe a little to close to Nazis like Raw Egg Nationalist, who they had as a guest on their podcast. And then in further spellunking, we found that everybody’s least favorite Oklahoma prude, Dusty Deevers had done some writing for them.

Then, last week, Josh Kovensky put out a report in Talking Points Memo about the secret society Society for American Civic Renewal (SACR) that’s like a lil shriner’s club for respectability fash. Your narrator thought, “hm, this sounds a lot like those American Reformer dicks.” And then on Sunday, Steven Monacelli was like, “yeah, SACR Dallas chapter leader Nate Fischer…”

So far, this is mostly only summing up a bunch of other folks’ great reporting and tying some threads together, but I also want to put forward a few data points that may or may not be related. 

  • In Atlanta, white nationalist Nathan Damigo has been working for the William McKinley Institute, doxxing anti-fascist researchers and journalists, while living in a house with other white nationalists, paid for by a white nationalist real estate developer.
  • In Tennessee, white nationalist Sean Kauffman (who regularly reposts the work of WMI), has been recruiting members and targeting researchers. He also regularly reposts the doxxes of Appalachian Archives, which specifically doxxes journalists and researchers.
  • Also in Tennessee, white nationalists Brian Culpepper and Ian Elliott have been building a compound for the “Church of Aryanity”
  • New Founding/American Reformer/RidgeRunner are developing land in the Highland Ridge area of Eastern Tennessee and Kentucky.

Are Nate Fischer and Joshua Abbatoy and their Claremont Lincoln Fellow cronies the sugar daddies housing and employing wignats to be their brute squad on the ground in areas they want to set up a white ethnostate? To be determined. But even if they aren’t, I feel for everybody in the holler that needs to put up with this influx of awful people.

Last week:

  • 3/4 - online - Environmental Progress released the WPATH Files 
  • 3/5 - Lynnwood, WA - New Columbia Movement participated in a 40 Days for Life protest outside an abortion clinic
  • 3/5 - Augusta, ME - members of NSC-131 testified at a public hearing for Chris Hood 
  • 3/7 - online - Center For Renewing America, behind Project 2025, is tied to a manifesto that says Christian Nationalism is a priority.
  • 3/7 -Chino Valley, CA - the LOKA crew was out in force for the school board meeting.
  • 3/9 - Santa Monica, CA - Jesus March
    • United Revival is back for what I'm sure will be a totally normal and not-hate filled event.
  • 3/9 - Tucson, AZ - older bigot Jimmy Coulon decided to harass Miss Nature’s show at Show Low, but what is more troubling is that it was being promoted by Tribal Active Club of Arizona
    • Jimmy’s only got four friends on Facebook, so I’m going to wager that he’s a member’s dad.
  • 3/10 - New York, NY - Protect Our Children NYC had a truly bizarre St. Patrick’s Day party where they hired a little person to dress as a Donald Trump leprechaun.

This week:

  • Nationwide - 40 Days for Life continues. 
  • 3/11-12 - Los Angeles, CA - Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust are doing Campus Outreach
  • 3/15 - Snohomish, WA - Firestarters Conference - United Revival is having a conference with Sean Feucht
  • 3/16 - nationwide - White Lives Matter Day of Action
  • 3/16 - Los Angeles, CA - Time to Stand Rally 
    • Kim Yeater of the Take our Borders Back Crew, Seth Gruber of White Rose Resistance, and I’m sure the usual LOKA assholes will be out in force to have a rally “for children”
