By October 1998, Resistance Records had relocated to Etiwanda, California, near San Bernardino, under the joint ownership of Carto and his business partner, Todd Blodgett, a former low-level White House staffer in the Reagan administration. Blodgett finished journalism school in 1983 and then worked for various Republican politicians. By 1995, he had fallen under Carto's influence, handling more business and marketing functions for him as time progressed. He eventually became Carto's partner.

The Spotlight and Resistance Magazine had vastly different readerships at the time when the change in ownership occurred. Resistance focused exclusively on the hate rock scene and its young audience, while The Spotlight's average reader was so much older that Blodgett reportedly joked that it was "filled with ads for denture adhesives and incontinence underwear."

The Carto-Blodgett partnership soon hit rough waters. Carto was dealing with financial difficulties stemming from a legal struggle to control his Holocaust-denial propaganda machine, the Institute for Historical Review. He was ultimately forced to declare bankruptcy and relinquish control. After falling out with Blodgett, Carto decided to sell his stake in the company and, by March 1999, Blodgett had found an eager taker in Dr. William Pierce, leader of the National Alliance, one of the most dangerous organized neo-Nazi hate groups in the United States today.

Yes, it looks like he's involved with the Neo Nazis also looks like Todd Blodgett was too. Anyway they're all shady people and will eat their own at the first opportunity. Anyway thanks for enlightening me.
