Links - 6th May 2026 (1 - SPLC Indictment)

U.S. Department of Justice on X - "🚨HAPPENING NOW: Justice Department announces indictment against Southern Poverty Law Center ("SPLC"). Our indictment alleges SPLC secretly funneled MORE THAN $3 MILLION in funds to members of white supremacist and extremist groups."
Andy Ngo on X - "If the allegations are true, the SPLC is the largest funder of American neo-Nazis and KKK members. They allegedly made a problem that they could point to to fear monger and fundraise hundreds of millions of dollars. More importantly, they could build a moral panic that Democrats could use to sway elections and defame political targets. This is more than just alleged mass financial fraud." To no one's surprise, the cope is that this is all fake and that Trump's DOJ cannot be trusted, and that the Grand Jury was duped
Left wingers are forever going on about police infiltrators, outside provocateurs and outside agitators to excuse their violence. Ironic.

Jay Bookman on X - "So ... it's now a federal crime to infiltrate and expose white supremacist groups? White supremacist groups are a protected class under this administration?"
The cope is getting more and more amusing. The same people who claim Israel created and funded Hamas by allowing money to flow to them (partly so the cries of "genocide" wouldn't be even louder) think that there's nothing wrong with funding "hate" groups

DOJ’s Anti-Anti-Racism Indictment Has Major Holes - "In order to make the argument that “the SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence,” the government listed several informants in white supremacist groups who received payoffs from the SPLC. One of them was described as an “Imperial Wizard” in a Ku Klux Klan group called the United Klans of America. The indictment cites an SPLC article describing the United Klans of America as a “millennial reboot of what was once a serious domestic threat.” Yet the DOJ left out one key word from that SPLC article: “pathetic.” In the actual 2013 story, the SPLC described United Klans of America as a “pathetic millennial reboot of what was once a serious domestic threat” (emphasis added). That doesn’t sound like “manufacturing racism” so much as mocking it. If the SPLC were really trying to whip their donors into a frenzy over groups like United Klans of America, why would it describe the organization as “pathetic”? And why would the DOJ leave that one word out of the indictment?"
This is the best they can come up with. Amazing. But left wingers still lap it up

Dr. Sydney Watson on X - "It's genuinely fucking hilarious that there is so little white supremacy in the United States that the SPLC had to pay to create it, so they could fight it. lmao"

Robert Sterling on X - "“So your mission at the SPLC is fighting racism?”
“Yes, Dave.”
“And you’ve raised millions of dollars for this?”
“That’s right.”
“And you spent that money on?”
“We gave it to the KKK, Dave.”"
malmesburyman on X - "They didn’t do it because they are stupid and bad with money. They did it because it was politically effective. BLM, Floyd, the whole 2020 op was based on Charlottesville. Biden said it was why he ran for President. He was installed by the Congressional Black Caucus. He spent his presidency rewarding that constituency (PPP, Build Back Better, Kamala VP, Jumanji Jackson on SCOTUS). The entire purpose of the Democrat party and their whole galaxy of NGO cutouts is to stoke racial grievance against white people, harvest ballots on it, and pass out productive citizens’ tax money to their favored groups. SPLC aided and abetted that whole political program. Again— they aren’t stupid. They’re evil."

Meme - *Plato's cave*
*KKK shadows on the wall*
*NPR libs seeing KKK shadows*
*Southern Poverty Law Center holding puppets to make shadows*
*People escaping*

Coddled Affluent Professional on X - "Coordinated, programmatic invocation of ‘Charlottesville’ to discredit Trump makes a lot more sense now. ‘Whole-of-society’ political engineering."
Daniel Friedman on X - "I never understood why the left was so preoccupied with far right marchers in Charlottesville who chanted “Jews will not replace us” when they had no problems with Palestine marchers chanting “Khaybar Khaybar, ya Yahud.” The left’s obsession with Charlottesville makes more sense now that I know how much they paid for it."

🦅 AlaskaBird (anti-woke)🪶 🇺🇸 on X - "“Jews will not replace us” —The alt-right, funded by SPLC."
Dr. Naomi Wolf. 8 NYT Bestsellers. DPhil, Poetry. on X - "I have literally never heard an American conservative say ‘Blood and soil.’ That’s a phrase from early German Nazism so in the US, right out of central casting."

Scott Adams on X - "What are the odds those tiki torch carrying neo-Nazis from Charlottesville would only rally once? Feels like it was an American intel op against Trump. That’s my working assumption."

Jack Posobiec on X - "The SPLC paid a guy $270,000 who staged Charlottesville"
Daniel Friedman on X - "Charlottesville was no big deal. It was a demonstration against the removal of a statue by a few hundred protesters. Police in Charlottesville failed or opted not to keep counterprotesters separate from the right wingers, and the event devolved into brawls. Police in numerous cities have managed to keep protesters for various odious causes away from counterprotesters. The left has been obsessed with the few hundred right wingers marching for the Robert E Lee statue for nearly a decade, even after left wing rioters burned down half of Minneapolis over George Floyd and Islamoleftists took over multiple US college campuses to support October 7. Now it turns out that lefty NGOs were paying the organizers of the Charlottesville march and funded travel for right-wing activists to attend the event. Was a fix also put in to pull the cops off the street, assuring that the event would devolve into violence? Nobody knows, but it suddenly seems plausible."

Centennial Rye on X - "Charlottesville was the culmination of a series of riots, mainly in Berkeley , that were intentionally allowed to fester by local left-wing pols"
Centennial Rye on X - "I wtote my senator several months before Charlottesville saying someone was going to die soon in a political riot. Guess that was the whole point"

Daniel Bordman on X - "The Canadian media has started running cover for the SPLC, because if Canadians start looking into government funded Left Wing NGOs and what they are spending their money on it would expose every level of government and our institutions. This is what we call “anti-journalism”"
Mike Bebbzy🛠️ (#AlbertaFirst) on X - "Check it out. The Canadian Anti-Hate Network who has direct links to the terrorist funding SPLC received over $900,000 from the federal liberal gov't and have worked closely with them to influence Canadian policy and law. @FBI @Kash_Patel"

Meme - "Me when the SPLC check hits my account: *Edward Norton as Aaron Stampler in Primal Fear turning into Edward Norton as Neo Nazi Derek Vinyard in American History X*"

Meme - captive dreamer @captive_dreamer: "This one always stuck with me. This SPLC employee literally had a chart counting down the days until White people in America are a minority. Salt the ground of this place"

Clint Brown on X - "So the Atlantic ran a defamatory hit piece on FBI Director a few days before the FBI announced indictment of the SPLC AND THE OWNER OF THE ATLANTIC IS OBSESSED WITH THE SPLC. Hu, weird coincidence I guess 🤷‍♂️"

BlindFaithBook on X - "Decent people can no longer think the SPLC even had "good intentions". They were just interested in burning down society."

USA TODAY on X - "The Southern Poverty Law Center was indicted for paying sources to infiltrate hate groups, a tactic federal agencies have used for decades."
Coddled Affluent Professional on X - "OK. Well, I have questions then. Why is the SPLC acting like a federal law enforcement agency? Were they explicitly understood to be a partisan para-governmental intelligence apparatus being used to surveil the American public? There’s no explanatory narrative that makes this stuff look good."
Life is a Liberty Matter on X - "Read the intro to the Grand Jury indictment to learn the truth and see that USA Today is lying to you:"
Andy Ngo on X - "This type of coverage is what SPLC’s hundreds of millions of dollars can buy in the U.S. media landscape."

أبو عمّار on X - "Is the @splcenter’s defence here that as a third sector charity it had arrogating to itself the investigative powers of a federal agency? There is no way around this."
Nick on X - "Yes, and it's nonsense besides. They paid, not infiltrators, but the very faces of the movement whom they featured on their own site, in a way that funded & amplified the extremism rather than quietly undermining it. The "informant" angle is a thin veil"
Of course, Doug Jones, a former senator, tried this line

Kyle Becker on X - "The SPLC wasn't paying for the "infiltration" of "hate groups" (not including Antifa, by the way). It was supervising the posting of racist hate messages and helping with the transport of agitators who provoked riots. We all can read the grand jury indictment, which isn't based on opinion, but facts. BY THE WAY, since you are all going with this idiotic, fabricated narrative. If SPLC is a "non-profit" group, then they should just have staff members who are on salary infiltrating these groups. You hire them, put them on your books, and you don't conceal it from regulators or from donors. But the SPLC didn't. Because it's NOT a law enforcement agency, unlike the FBI. The SPLC helped to provoke the Charlottesville riot with paid agitators and then reaped the financial windfall. And compromised Democrats and corporate allies are SILENT about the SPLC helping to organize events using the KKK, Aryan Nation, and Unite the Right. Because the only thing that Democrats have to offer the American people are LIES."

New York Post on X - "8 hate group leaders — including KKK Imperial Wizard and neo-Nazi — got millions from SPLC as part of ‘informant’ scheme, DOJ says. Read today's cover here:"
Hans Mahncke on X - "Kudos to the New York Post for being the only major outlet to get this right. The SPLC were paying the leaders. By definition, leaders cannot be informants. They run the operation. It is like paying the leader of Auschwitz to inform on who is carrying out the gassings instead of paying him to stop the gassings. It is perhaps the most grotesque, cynical, and pernicious racket ever devised. Of course, plenty of groups extract money from taxpayers and well-meaning donors off problems they inflate, but this is far worse because it breeds real hatred and manufactures racial division to keep the grift alive."

Andy Ngo on X - "Michael E. Hayden, an Antifa activist who was a spokesman for the SPLC, wrote in a recent post that he was part of the "Intelligence Project" while there, but that it was suddenly "destroyed." I wonder if the project is what was described in the DOJ indictment, describing how the SPLC paid millions to neo-Nazis, KKK members, and far-right extremists so that they could use them as talking points for fundraising. Did the SPLC dismantle that project to hide evidence? @FBIDirectorKash @DAGToddBlanche , here's someone you should investigate."

It's Just Business - "For me, the SPLC revelations are simultaneously damning and completely unsurprising. I’ve been researching and writing about why people persist in believing things that simply aren’t true for a long time. It’s not just the SPLC, it’s most high-profile left-wing organizations that incorporate propaganda as one of their chief outputs. I became acutely aware of increasing SPLC discoveries of “racism” and “homophobia” during the G.W. Bush administration as need for a class wedge evolved. If you or your group was conservative, Christian, or even just leaned libertarian, you made their list. The increases in the named groups that are enemies of the Democrat Party and the corresponding increases in funding as the names on their list increased is not coincidental. It is actually a business model. Let’s not forget that model requires two things, the cynical bastards who to create the lies (that not even they believe) and push them into the popular mind, and the willing dupes who, with religious-like fervor, will believe anything regardless of how improbable or impossible it is, simply due to who or what the lie is aimed. If you think there is a persistent tendency in American political discourse to treat ideology as a set of ideas to be tested against reality, you don’t get to pass Go or collect $200. That assumption breaks down when what you are actually dealing with is not ideology alone, but something closer to theology, an all-encompassing belief system that orders the world not by evidence, but by moral narrative. Much of the contemporary American left operates in precisely that space, where politics is not merely about outcomes or policies, but about affirming a worldview rooted in opposition. Every functioning system needs critique, skepticism, and competing priorities. What we are seeing instead is something more reflexive and less tethered to results, it is opposition as identity. If a policy, institution, or outcome can be associated with the “wrong” side of the moral ledger, be it capitalism, tradition, nationalism, or meritocracy, then it must be resisted, regardless of whether it is objectively working within the boundaries within which it was designed to operate. This is where the theology enters from stage left. This is not about God or a god, but it exists in a very similar religious framework. In a traditional framework, outcomes are often secondary to adherence. The true believer does not measure truth by immediate results, but by fidelity to doctrine and the strength of beliefs remain even when the desired outcomes are not realized. When that approach is transposed into politics, you get a system where success itself becomes suspect or illegitimate if it emerges from the wrong premises. A functioning market is recast as exploitation (capitalist competition is racist, right?) and effective law enforcement becomes systemic oppression (the ICE actions, particularly in Minnesota are good examples). Even declining crime or rising prosperity can be reframed as evidence of hidden injustice rather than indicators of success (think about the accusations of racism as DC’s crime rate fell). Intellectually, doesn’t make sense. If a system is achieving its stated goals by reducing poverty, increasing opportunity, or maintaining order, it should at least earn a hearing on its own merits, but that requires a willingness to evaluate outcomes dispassionately and separate emotional reaction from empirical observation—precisely what an ideo-theological framework resists. It cannot afford to concede that something it opposes might actually work, because doing so would undermine the moral architecture of the entire belief system. So, the evaluation shifts from logical examination to emotional reasoning. The question is no longer “Does this produce good results?” but “Does this align with our moral narrative?” If the answer to the second question is no, then the first question becomes irrelevant. In fact, positive results can intensify the opposition, because they represent a threat. They suggest that the world is more complicated than the doctrine allows, that solutions can arise from sources deemed illegitimate. This helps explain the immediate and compulsive need to locate failure, injustice, or crisis even in environments that are objectively improving. The system must remain morally flawed, not because it is, but because the belief system cannot stand if it isn’t... Opposition is no longer a means to an end; it is just the business model."
This also explains the "myth" of the slippery slope

Tablesalt 🇨🇦🇺🇸 on X - "‼️BREAKING Bernie Farber, founding chair of the Canadian anti-hate network, which is tied to the Southern Poverty Law Center (indicted for sending money to Nazis) has blocked access to his X posts."

Cynical Publius on X - "On December 29, 2021, the taxpayer-funded Public Broadcasting Service posted a "story" on their website entitled "Military still grappling with racism and extremism, investigation finds." Link here: https://t.co/j4P9cFgGKS Note this portion of the article, highlighting the Southern Poverty Law Center:
*******************
"Susan Corke, the director of the Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Project, commended the Defense Department for taking key steps this year, including the changes announced last week, to address extremism. She said the Defense Department sought the expertise of civil rights organizations, academics, and others who have sounded the alarm about the dangers of extremism in the ranks for years. But Corke said it's too soon to definitively say whether the updated policies will purge extremism from military ranks. "The devil will be in the details," she said. " I do appreciate that there is a commitment from the Defense Department to have much more consultation with outside partners and that there's much more focus on doing additional research. So, we're going to hold their feet to the fire." Corke said the SPLC is still pressing for additional reforms, including how the military's command structure allows commanders to have virtually absolute command authority over subordinates, which might discourage members from reporting incidents or concerns of extremism."
*******************
Verdict:
1. Successful color revolutions depend upon turning national security forces against the choices of the electorate.
2. SPLC practically invented the concept of "white supremacy" and created the threat itself by funding the handful of otherwise marginalized practitioners of "white supremacy."
3. During the Biden Administration, the Department of Defense consulted with SPLC regarding the very threat SPLC created.
4. SPLC's recommendations included undoing Title 10 command authority of the uniformed military (see the last paragraph of the language I quoted above).
**********************
SPLC has long been at the heart of national efforts to destroy the American Experiment. Who know how successful they could have been if Kamala had won?"

bitchuneedsoap on X - "If SPLC was running paid informants inside violent extremist groups, and SPLC was sharing that intelligence with the FBI, and SPLC's "hate group" designations were showing up in internal FBI memos targeting American religious communities… At what point did SPLC stop being an advocacy organization and start being an intelligence contractor? The indictment unsealed on April 21st describes an informant program that ran from 2014 to 2023. $3 million. Eight informants. Leading figures inside the KKK, Aryan Nations, and National Socialist Party. One was the Imperial Wizard of the United Klans of America. Another was in the online leadership chat that planned Unite the Right. SPLC's own CEO said on video that the intel went to federal law enforcement. Sen. Grassley spent 2023-2025 documenting how SPLC's hate group designations were cited in at least 14 internal FBI intelligence products. One of them, the Richmond memo, proposed FBI source development inside parishes where Latin Mass is celebrated. They interviewed a priest. A choir director. An internal FBI email Grassley obtained: "our overreliance on the SPLC for hate designation is problematic." Two streams of information. One endpoint. The FBI was receiving input on American threats from a 501(c)(3) that was paying people inside the KKK. And using that input to propose surveillance of Catholic parishes. That's an outsourced intelligence operation that nobody voted for and nobody audited. The fraud indictment is the floor of this story."

bitchuneedsoap on X - "SPLC is in a legal box with no clean exit. To defeat the donor fraud charges, they have to argue the informant program was legitimate intelligence work coordinated with federal law enforcement. Bryan Fair already said that on video on April 21st. But the moment that's the defense, three new problems open: Donors did not give money to fund FBI-coordinated intelligence operations. Class action exposure on the actual basis of the donor relationship. 501(c)(3) status doesn't cover serving as a federal intelligence contractor. Tax exemption becomes contestable. Admitting FBI coordination validates exactly the Grassley-Patel-HJC finding that SPLC was feeding the FBI taxonomies used to target American religious communities. The traditional escape hatch in a case like this is graymail. SPLC threatens to expose FBI coordination in discovery. DOJ backs off to protect FBI secrets. Except this DOJ wants that exposure. Patel severed the FBI-SPLC relationship in October. Grassley released documents in June. The Weaponization Working Group is already mapping this. Exposing FBI wrongdoing under the prior administration is a feature, not a cost. The graymail doesn't work because the target doesn't want to protect what you're threatening to expose. Which means SPLC's options narrow to: Plead to narrower charges and accept reputational collapse Go to trial and have the whole operation documented in the public record Drag proceedings out hoping for a political reversal before donor class actions and state AG investigations land There's no fourth door."
Left wingers claim that the FBI did the same thing so there's no problem here. Quite apart from the fact that paying informants is different from funding an organisation, the SPLC is not the FBI so the legal framework is different
