Revealed: US professor Scott Yenor
was behind extremist site that spread conspiraciesBoise State University (BSU) professor and #Claremont #Institute scholar #Scott #Yenor was the hidden hand behind #Action #Idaho, a far-right online media platform that featured inflammatory rightwing commentary on politics in that state, documents obtained by the Guardian reveal.
The documents, obtained through public records requests, also show that 💥Yenor sought and received funding for the initiative from wealthy and influential donors like Claremont Institute board chair, Thomas D #Klingenstein.💥He also attempted to hire a rising conservative writer, #Pedro #Gonzalez, to lead the initiative.
Gonzalez was later embroiled in a controversy about #antisemitic remarks he made in online chats in 2019 and 2020.They also show him tapping a network of expertise that overlaps both with the Claremont Institute and the Society for American Civic Renewal ( #SACR ), a secretive fraternal #Christian #Nationalist organization the Guardian has reported on extensively.
Yenor has not publicly disclosed his involvement in Action Idaho, and it has only been fleetingly mentioned in previous reporting on Talking Points Memo. The revelations could raise further questions about the 💥potential conflicts between Yenor’s professorial position at a public university and his political activism.💥

Why has so much of the American conservative movement embraced the story that the principles of equality and the pursuit of a more just society are the greatest threats to Western civilization today?
Who or what is responsible for giving these paranoid ideas an intellectual veneer?
The 🔸Claremont Institute🔸 gets you much of the way to an answer.
Founded in 1979 in the city of Claremont, California (but not associated in an official way with any of the five colleges there), the Claremont Institute provided enthusiastic support for Donald Trump in 2016.
Individuals associated with Claremont now fund and help run the 🔸National Conservativism🔸 gatherings; Claremont Institute chairman and funder 🔹Thomas D. Klingenstein🔹also funds the 🔺Edmund Burke Foundation🔺, which has held those National Conservatism conferences across the globe.
Claremont is deeply involved in DeSantis’s effort to remake Florida’s state universities in the model of 🔸Hillsdale College🔸— a private, right-wing, conservative Christian academy in Michigan whose president, 🔹Larry Arnn🔹, happens to be one of the institute’s founders and former presidents.
Claremont honored DeSantis at an annual gala with its 2021 “Statesmanship Award,” and the governor returned the favor by organizing a discussion with a “brain trust” that included figures associated with the Claremont Institute.
If either #Trump or #DeSantis becomes president in 2024, Claremont and its associates are likely to be integral to the “brain trust” of the new administration.
Indeed, some of them are certain to become appointees in the administrative state that they wish (or so they say) to destroy.
