Good day all. I saw this when I logged in Wednesday, April 22nd, and started looking at the overnight news. It seems that the Department of Justice has filed criminal fraud charges against the Southern Poverty Law Center, and you won’t believe what they found.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, or as it’s better known, the SPLC, was once a civil rights organization that went after the Ku Klux Klan in court and basically bankrupted them. They also went after a few other racist groups with the majority of Americans cheering them on. Then, about 20 or so years ago, they ran out of targets and started going after pretty much any conservative or Christian group.
None of the targets were racists. They just didn’t toe the Marxist line pushed by those running and working at the SPLC. Anyone who didn’t bow down to them and the Progressive Liberal Democrats were declared to be racists and haters and put on their “Official” Hate map. They would work with Federal, some state and local law enforcement to go after political enemies. Pro-Life groups were a major target of theirs.
Things started to fall apart for them when some whackjob used their hate map to shoot up a conservative group. Slowly, they lost their contacts with various law enforcement organizations as their credibility started collapsing. With that, their donations started to fall, although the hard left would always hand over cash to these grifters. Now its being reported that the Civil Rights organization that brought down the Klan is actually paying them. Here are the details from the New York Post:
The Department of Justice announced Tuesday that a grand jury indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center for making fraudulent payments of millions of dollars to members of the Ku Klux Klan and other neo-Nazi organizations.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said at a news conference that the 11-count indictment filed in an Alabama federal court alleged the left-wing nonprofit had in the past decade paid at least $3 million to eight members of the far-right groups.
One leader of the 2017 Unite the Right protest in Charlottesville, Va., received roughly $270,000 over an eight-year period. Neither that person nor others were identified in the 14-page indictment. Another embedded in a neo-Nazi organization was paid $1 million to steal 25 boxes of the hate group’s documents. Others had affiliations with the Ku Klux Klan, United Klans of America, Aryan Nations, the Nationalist Socialist Party of American Nazis and the Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club.
In case you are wondering, these are the very same groups that the SPLC was trying to financially destroy, and for the most part succeeding, for years. Now they are paying them?
Earlier Tuesday, SPLC CEO Bryan Fair said in a statement that his group was being targeted for “prior use of paid confidential informants to gather credible intelligence on extremely violent groups.” Starting in the 1980s, the SPLC began using informants who had infiltrated various groups.
The SPLC may have paid informants, but these payments go far beyond hiring an informant or an infiltrator. Also, the SPLC is NOT a law enforcement agency. It is a private organization. There is paperwork of the tax variety they have to file with the Internal Revenue Service. How much do you want to bet that another charge that may come out is tax evasion/fraud?
Blanche said in the press conference that the nonprofit never informed law enforcement that it was “paying off the Klu Klux Klan” or other extremist groups.
“The SPLC is a nonprofit entity that purports to fight white supremacy and racial hatred by reporting on extremist groups and conducting research to inform law enforcement groups, with the goal of dismantling these groups,” Blanche told reporters.
And that was something they used to do. Then they ran into the same problem as the NAACP. Their goals had been pretty much achieved and there was no reason for their continued existence, at least not as they had become. That meant that all these highly paid lawyers and others would have to go and get real jobs.
“As the indictment describes, the SPLC was not dismantling these groups. It was instead manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose by paying sources to stoke racial hatred,” he said.
“There is nothing political about this indictment or this investigation,” Blanche added, claiming that investigation preceded the Trump administration and Biden’s DOJ had made a decision “to not pursue” it.
I’m not at all surprised that the investigation was squelched under the Garland DoJ. I suspect some honest agents discovered something, started digging and once the SPLC figured out they were under investigation, made a few phone calls to shut it down. I suspect this investigation was reopened under Bondi.
FBI Director Kash Patel added that the “widespread, decade-long multi-million dollar fraud” — which stretched from 2014 to 2023 — was concealed through a “banking network,” “shell companies,” and other fictitious entities.
The SPLC then “fraudulently raised money by lying to their donor network, thousands of Americans, to go ahead and actually pay the leadership of these supposed violent extremist groups,” Patel noted.
The sham entities included a “Center Investigative Agency,” or CIA, “Fox Photography,” “North West Technologies,” “Tech Writers Group” and “Rare Books Warehouse,” which “conducted no actual business,” the indictment stated.
I would say it was around 2014 when people figured out that all the scum and villains that the SPLC had gone after were basically finished off. All that were left were a few nuts and kooks that no one with any functioning brain cells paid any attention to. One reason for this? Barack Obama. Yes, he was a disaster as president, but he was also black. That blew a massive hole in the Progressive’s mantra of a massive white supremacy problem in the United States.
Now the next step is proving the case. Unlike the Garland DoJ, the Bondi, and now whoever takes over, have been building cases very quietly, perhaps to quietly. On the other hand, when something like this drops, that silence makes a lot of sense. Garland and his minions were always quick to make a lot of noise and bring very questionable cases. In most instances, the cases they brought blew up in their faces spectacularly. I suspect that the SPLC is going down, and that there may be even more charges being brought, both against the organization and the people running it.
