It turns out there wasn't enough racism to prop up the anti-racism industry in the United States so that industry had to fund it just so they could fight it. For years, the progressive left has told us that white supremacy is the greatest threat to America, but it was a lie. The SPLC declared domestic right-wing extremism to be a national scourge, but they were the ones lining the pockets of Nazis and members of the KKK.
The Department of Justice announced on Tuesday that a grand jury had delivered an indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center. Founded in 1971 by then-Georgia lawmaker Julian Bond and others as a civil rights law firm dedicated to holding the Ku Klux Klan to account on behalf of the white supremacist group's victims, the non-profit now upholds that which it intended to fight.
The SPLC labeled anything that went against progressive party lines as extremist and hateful. They named Turning Point USA, Moms for Liberty, Libs of TikTok, Gays Against Groomers, Focus on the Family, anti-abortion and anti-surrogacy groups, Prager U, Alliance Defending Freedom, Genspect, the Center for Immigration Studies, RAIR Foundation, and so many others as hateful. By putting the names of non-hateful groups alongside groups like Nazis and the KKK, the SPLC encouraged violence and yes, hate, toward those groups. Charlie Kirk was killed because of hate like that.
The SPLC used donations "to fund the leaders and organizers of racist groups, including the Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Nation, and the National Alliance," reads the indictment, and they did so without their donors having any idea that the money they gave for civil rights was actually going to fund racist groups and individuals. From 2019 to 2023, the SPLC spent some $3,000,000 on funding racism.
They funded "a member of the online leadership chat group that planned the 2017 'Unite the Right' event in Charlottesville, Virginia, and attended the event at the direction of the SPLC." This person, who is named only as F-37 in the indictment and was identified that way by the SPLC, "made racist postings under the supervision of the SPLC and helped coordinate transportation to the event for several attendees."
Another recipient of SPLC funds, to the tune of $1,000,000 over 20 years, was "affiliated with the neo-Nazi organization, the National Alliance." This person, F-9, fundraised for their white supremacist group and stole documents from it on behalf of the SPLC." The SPLC funded the "Imperial Wizard of the United Klans of America" and "an officer in the National Socialist Movement and the Aryan Nations affiliated Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club."
Yes, that means the SPLC was funding actual Nazis in America, and these are just a few of those who got money from the SPLC to continue racism. The SPLC distributed this money through shell companies so that neither their donors nor these white supremacist recipients would know where the money was going or coming from. One of those they funded, per the indictment, "was the reported National President of American Front and a convicted federal felon for his participation in a cross burning." He got $19,000 over three years.
While the SPLC was funding these groups, they were also listing these groups on their website as "hate groups." They solicited funds from donors to fight the very groups they were propping up with millions in donor funds. A Grand Jury says this is fraud, and they're right. "In addition to directly paying leaders and others associated with the same violent extremist groups that the SPLC sought donations ostensibly to 'dismantle,' the SPLC also used field sources to indirectly funnel money to other violent extremist group leaders." This is how SPLC donor money ended up in the hands of the actual KKK.
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and other progressives lied when they told us white supremacy was the biggest threat facing the United States, and now that lie has been laid bare. In 2023, Biden delivered an address saying "we know that American history has not always been a fairy tale. From the start, it's been a constant push and pull, for more than 240 years, between the best of us, the American ideal that we're all created equal, and the worst of us. the harsh reality that racism has long torn us apart. It's a battle that's never really over." This is the grift on which the SPLC and their ilk have sought donations from the public.
"But on the best days," Biden went on, "enough of us have the guts and the hearts to stand up for the best in us, to choose love over hate, unity over disunion, progress over retreat. To stand up against the poison of white supremacy as I did in my inaugural address to single it out as the most dangerous threat to our homeland as white supremacy." Not only was that a lie, but the major group propping up that lie was funding the hate to justify their own existence—and Biden's administration worked closely with the SPLC to define so-called hate groups.
