Prosecutors Claim SPLC Paid Operatives Within Targeted Groups

By Mia Cathell | Washington Examiner The Southern Poverty Law Center allegedly paid operatives embedded within the Aryan Nations, after effectively suing the extremist organization out of existence two decades ago, as part of what prosecutors say was a self-enrichment scheme to justify the law center’s purported bigot-fighting work. Federal investigators are alleging that the SPLC has been operating a covert network of “field sources,” known as “Fs,” who either were associated with various violent extremist groups or had infiltrated them at the law center’s direction. To pay for the on-the-ground operations, the SPLC is suspected of secretly spending donor money, meant to go toward dismantling such “hate groups,” instead on infiltration efforts that actually ...

Indictment Suggests SPLC May Have Fueled The Division It Claimed To Fight

By Mike Davis | Commentary, Fox News Acting AG Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel secured the indictment against the civil rights organization. Since the 1970s, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has characterized itself as an organization that combats extremist groups like the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). This week, because of an indictment that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel secured through stellar leadership, we learned that SPLC wasn’t fighting the Klan — but funding it using generous donations from people who thought they were helping fight racism. James Alex Fields, a White supremacist, ran over and killed a Jewish woman named Heather Heyer at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017. ...

Court lets defamation case against SPLC proceed over weaponized ‘hate’ label of Dustin Inman Society

By Tyler O'Neil | The Daily Signal How can a leftist group present itself as the authority on “hate groups” in public, touting the fact that police and even the FBI have relied on its materials, and then reverse course when challenged in court, claiming that its statements are unprovable “opinion” rather than expert statements of fact? Has the Southern Poverty Law Center no shame? To ask the question is to answer it. As I wrote in my book “Making Hate Pay,” the SPLC has long engaged in ritual character assassination, putting mainstream conservative and Christian nonprofits on a “hate map” with chapters of the Ku Klux Klan, claiming that the map exposes the “infrastructure upholding white supremacy.” It persisted in doing this after the “hate map” inspired a terrorist att...

Colorado Governor silent on whether he’ll use far-left smear factory to cancel conservatives after flag squabble

By Tyler O'Neil | Daily Signal Colorado’s Democratic governor, Jared Polis, did not respond to concerns that his administration would rely on the Southern Poverty Law Center to exclude conservatives from a state flag program after his office apologized for honoring a gay organization the SPLC brands a “hate group.” Polis’ signature appeared on a document celebrating the Colorado chapter of Gays Against Groomers, a group of lesbian, gay, and bisexual people who oppose experimental transgender medical procedures on children. The SPLC—which vehemently supports transgender interventions for children and labels mainstream conservative and Christian organizations “hate groups,” placing them on a map along with chapters of the Ku Klux Klan—branded Gays Against Groomers an “anti-LGBTQ ...
