SPLC is Evil

Professionals who have experience with anti-money laundering laws are not shocked by the indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). If the facts alleged in the indictment are true, they appear to support charges that are unremarkable and to be expected. Those allegations also strongly suggest the possibility of more indictments.

U.S. — The nation was left in complete disbelief today upon learning that the so-called Patriot Front might have actually been fake.

Despite videos of masked Patriot Front members shouting seemingly unscripted mantras like “we sure don’t like black people, eh fellas?”, new reports suggest that such videos may have actually been staged by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

In the financial world, most frauds are short-lived. Ponzi schemes such as Bernie Madoff’s eventually run out of new suckers to provide enough funds to pay the phony “returns” promised to earlier investors. When the cash flow dries up, the scam collapses.

The con artists at the non-profit Southern Poverty Law Center have a different racket, and a different problem. Instead of swindling the public with promises of unrealistic, too-good-to-be-true investment returns, the fear-mongering SPLC sold “paranoia porn” to credulous donors, convincing them – falsely – that the country is full of dangerous right-wing extremists who need to be identified and brought to heel.

It’s worth noting that the SPLC is getting a full-court defense from Pravda for a reason: the driving narrative about Donald Trump, political violence, and the need for a censorship infrastructure in the United States is largely buttressed by references to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Hate Map.”

All the major news organizations rely heavily on the SPLC to tell them whom to slander; the US government partnered with the SPLC to determine whom to investigate; social media companies turned to the SPLC for advice on whom to censor; and public school curricula are designed around SPLC talking points.

Some of the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) donors have apparently remained silent after the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) charged the nonprofit this week with fraud and money laundering.

One of those big-name donors is actor George Clooney, whose foundation has not yet said a word about the indictment, the New York Post reported Thursday, noting that left-wing billionaire George Soros’ foundation and MGM Resorts have also stayed quiet.

Every now and then, there’s a news event that feels simultaneously insane and entirely logical. The stink swirling around the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is just such an event.

At first blush, the suggestion that the centre has been ‘fund[ing] the extremism that it claimed to be fighting’ seems wild. But then it hits you – such duplicitous antics, if true, would be wholly in keeping with an activist class that continually inflates the far-right threat in order to make itself feel purposeful and virtuous.

The Department of Justice is reportedly investigating the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) over its “use of paid informants” to infiltrate non-violent conservative-leaning organizations it deems to be “extremist.”

The Associated Press (AP) disclosed the explosive development on Tuesday, when it reported comments from the leftist group’s leadership indicating that “it’s the subject of a criminal investigation” by federal officials.

Update: Awesome news!
