"New documents have shed light on the origins and inner workings of the shadowy
Society for American Civic Renewal (SACR), including methods for judging the
beliefs of potential members on topics such as Christian nationalism, and
indications that its founders sought inspiration in an apartheid-era South
African white men-only group, the Afrikaner-Broederbond.
They also show that Boise State University Professor and Claremont thinktank
scholar Scott Yenor tried to coordinate SACR’s activities with other
initiatives, including an open letter on “Christian marriage”.
One expert says that one of the new documents – some previously reported in
Talking Points Memo – use biblical references that suggest a preparedness for
violent struggle against the current “regime”.
The SACR is a secretive far-right men-only organization with an emphasis on
Christian nationalism and a desire to open branches across the US.
The
Guardian has previously reported on SACR’s close links to the Claremont
Institute, an influential rightwing thinktank with fellows who have
participated in attempts to overturn the 2020 election and promoted the idea
that an authoritarian “Red Caesar” might redeem a US republic they see as
decadent.
SACR’s origins appear to date to the latter half of 2020, with key milestones
in the group’s development coming over the following 18 months."
