This is an especially interesting photo to me, given the themes many of us have written on in the past few years. It brings together the Oathkeepers, someone in a crew jacket from Michael Jackson's "Bad" tour, Netjets corporate schwag, and an interesting Nascar timeline

Sure - that pic doesn't directly reference NASCAR - but it shows that the Oathkeepers were founded in 2009, and it only took 4 yrs for them to get enough funding to sponsor an Earnhardt on the Nascar circuit?

Note: the "Nationwide" circuit that the car was on in 2013 is now the "Xfinity" circuit - it's equivalent to NASCAR's "minor league."

I don't know his rank, though, so the buy-in was somewhere between $12,000-$150,000.

OH, wait - there weren't membership fees?

Man, that's kind of weird...
🤔

But, yeah.... this kind of addresses the sum of the four points of interest in the first image.
