The Guardian has uncovered Bailey Ross, a trainee nurse and US air force reservist, as the owner of Agartha Publishing, a white nationalist publisher in South Dakota.
Ross has connections to white nationalist organizations and was involved in a group that marched at the Charlottesville rally.
Agartha Publishing operates by republishing expired-copyright fascist and anti-communist books and using mainstream platforms like Amazon for distribution.
The company’s name references a mythological kingdom, and it engages in cross-promotion with other far-right publishers.
Ross’s background includes associations with white nationalist groups and military service.
This publishing model is shared by other extremist publishers as highlighted by the report.
