On the other hand, if you thought that \u201cColor Revolutions\u201d only happen overseas \u2014 and that America is immune from successful campaigns of mass deception, all orchestrated by corrupt political actors to mimic natural, grassroots events \u2014 then this is a story you need to hear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The \u201cUnite the Right\u201d rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, was supposedly the defining moment of Donald Trump\u2019s first term in office. That\u2019s what we were told, relentlessly, for years on end, by both political parties, along with every mainstream media outlet in the country. It was a \u201cmask-off moment,\u201d in which neo-Nazis \u2014 emboldened by Donald Trump \u2014 violently rioted in the streets, killing an innocent woman in the process. And, we were told, Donald Trump endorsed these neo-Nazis, live on national television, calling them \u201cvery fine people.\u201d That\u2019s what Joe Biden said when he launched his campaign for president \u2014 and about ten million times after that. The rally was definitive proof that white supremacy was alive and well in the United States.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"VbOU2fTg6cI\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Joe Biden For President: America Is An Idea\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VbOU2fTg6cI?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Source: Joe Biden\/YouTube.com<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">All of corporate America lined up to push this message. Shortly after the \u201cUnite the Right\u201d rally, Apple announced a $2 million donation to so-called \u201canti-hate groups,\u201d including SPLC. The CEO, Tim Cook, declared that \u201cHate is a cancer, and left unchecked it destroys everything in its path.\u201d JPMorgan Chase and the Clooney Foundation did the same thing. In fact, JPMorgan\u2019s CEO, Jamie Dimon, said that the company would match employee donations to the SPLC. He also disbanded an advisory panel to the president, for reasons that were never clear. But the SPLC got exactly what it wanted \u2014 they isolated the president, they demonized conservatives, and they received millions of donations. And they never stopped. They kept hammering the \u201cUnite the Right\u201d narrative, and they kept fundraising off it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">In fact, five days before Charlottesville, Cam Higby <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/camhigby\/status\/2046815080868925441?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">reports<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> that SPLC received $375,000 from the state of Alabama. So this is an extremely well-funded group, with money coming in from everyone \u2014 including the taxpayers, apparently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">This continued for years. The Left was obsessed with Charlottesville, as you probably remember. It\u2019s the hoax that simply never died. You can make the case that it lasted longer than Russiagate. Four years after Biden\u2019s campaign video, in 2024, Kamala Harris again invoked Charlottesville on the debate stage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Kamala Harris falsely accusing Trump of coddling the Charlottesville white supremacist rally exactly one month after she was endorsed by the SPLC\u2014the group that planned, organized, &amp; paid for the Charlottesville white supremacist rally. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Gw6jDaWe6y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/Gw6jDaWe6y<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tony Kinnett (@TheTonus) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheTonus\/status\/2046760373693436045?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">April 22, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Source: @TheTonus\/X.com<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Every single aspect of this narrative, as told by every media outlet and by every prominent politician in Washington, was a lie. We\u2019ve known that for some time. Trump didn\u2019t endorse white supremacy; in fact, he explicitly did the opposite. And contrary to what CNN would have you believe, you don\u2019t have to be a neo-Nazi to oppose the removal of Robert E. Lee\u2019s statue. You simply have to be an American \u2014 someone who\u2019s interested in preserving our shared history and venerating our national heroes, rather than defaming them. That describes most of the people who attended this rally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/exposed-is-this-the-worst-political-psy-op-in-modern-history?elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowHeadline=Recent+Episodes&amp;rowType=Horizontal+Show+Episodes+Carousel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-976065\" src=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2025\/09\/Matt-watch-now-1-1024x171.jpg\" alt=\"DailyWire+\" width=\"1024\" height=\"171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2025\/09\/Matt-watch-now-1-1024x171.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2025\/09\/Matt-watch-now-1-300x50.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2025\/09\/Matt-watch-now-1-768x128.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2025\/09\/Matt-watch-now-1-1536x256.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2025\/09\/Matt-watch-now-1.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto,  (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">But there was one aspect of the rally that, to give left-wing activists some credit, was difficult for conservatives to explain away. There were indeed photographs of several men at the \u201cUnite the Right\u201d rally, some of them carrying Nazi flags. And a couple of them even yelled, \u201cJews will not replace us,\u201d which was considered offensive to Leftists until about fifteen minutes ago. And it was difficult for some conservatives, in the face of that photographic and video evidence, to deny that \u2014 at some level \u2014 this rally was organized, or at least popular with, a group of neo-Nazis on the Right.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Of course, the appropriate response from conservatives \u2014 even if that were true \u2014 would be to completely ignore the outrage. The presence of a small number of people waving Nazi flags is not a national crisis, even if they\u2019re genuine Nazis. We\u2019re a country of more than 340 million people. If we\u2019re going to allow five guys with Nazi flags to derail our entire political discourse, then we\u2019re never going to accomplish anything. We\u2019re also going to create an enormous incentive for the Left to wave Nazi flags around, and blame them on the Right \u2014 which, it appears, is exactly what happened.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">There\u2019s now very good reason to believe that, at Charlottesville, what we saw was the product of a deliberate, engineered effort to destroy the image of Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Again, back in 2017, a claim like that would seem pretty far-fetched to most people. After all, what are the odds that a well-funded left-wing group, aligned with the Democrat Party, would actually pay people to act like Nazis at this small rally in Charlottesville, Virginia? What are the odds that, actually, the entire event was a psy-op engineered from the beginning, to give Democrats a pretext to wage war against \u201cwhite supremacy,\u201d which, of course, actually means \u201cwhite people\u201d and \u201cconservatism\u201d in general?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Well, the odds were pretty good, as it turns out. Last night, the DOJ released an indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center, or SPLC, saying it funded and supported an individual who was closely involved in coordinating the \u201cUnite the Right\u201d rally. And not only that \u2014 SPLC was funding (directly or indirectly) a lot of other supposedly \u201cright-wing extremism,\u201d including the KKK. Yes, according to the DOJ, the SPLC \u2014 the Left\u2019s preferred \u201canti-hate group\u201d \u2014 was apparently paying affiliates of the KKK.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Todd Blanche lays it out: The Southern Poverty Law Center \u201cwas doing the exact opposite of what it\u2019s told its donors it was doing.

They exist to provide a pretext for the censorship and harassment of conservatives, with the goal of destroying their lives. They also hate Americans, particularly white Americans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Take a look at this video, featuring Mark Potok, who worked with the SPLC at the time.

Their goal is to demonize white people and claim that white supremacy is the greatest domestic threat, for the purpose of eliminating \u2014 or at least greatly diminishing \u2014 the white population.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">To give just one example of how they operate, the SPLC put Turning Point USA on its \u201chate group\u201d list shortly before Charlie Kirk was murdered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what Charlie wrote <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/charliekirk11\/status\/1926750880440693042?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">at the time<\/a>, in May of last year.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>The SPLC has added Turning Point to their ridiculous \u201chate group\u201d list, right next to the KKK and neo-Nazis. \u2026 Even former staffers called their racket a \u201ccon.\u201d Their game plan?

But if you say someone is just \u201cgenerally hateful,\u201d you\u2019re painting a broad brush \u2014 one that I would argue is pretty unfair, under the circumstances. I mean, give me some credit here. My hatred is actually pretty specific. But then a few people pointed out that \u201cGeneral Hate\u201d might actually be my rank. So if I\u2019m \u201cGeneral Hate,\u201d that would put me above Major Hate and Lieutenant Colonel Hate \u2014 in which case I rescind my complaint and gladly accept this prestigious title.

Doing so hid the fact that while the SPLC received donation money under the auspices that the funds would be used to \u201cdismantle\u201d violent extremist groups, this donation money was, instead, being used, in part, by the SPLC to pay leaders and others within these same violent extremist groups. That money was then used for the benefit of the individuals as well as the violent extremist groups. \u2026 Between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC secretly funneled more than $3 million in SPLC funds to Fs who were associated with various violent extremist groups. \u2026 Examples of Fs who were secretly paid by the SPLC include, but are not limited to the following: F-37 was a member of the online leadership chat group that planned the 2017 \u2018Unite the Right\u2019 event in Charlottesville, Virginia and attended the event at the direction of the SPLC. F-37 made racist postings under the supervision of the SPLC and helped coordinate transportation to the event for several attendees. Between 2015 and 2023, the SPLC secretly paid F-37 more than $270,000.00.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Yes, according to this indictment, the SPLC paid more than a quarter-million dollars to one person who coordinated the \u201cUnite the Right rally,\u201d and made racist posts under SPLC\u2019s supervision. That\u2019s a small fraction of the $3 million that the SPLC is accused of paying to fund various extremists in other groups. What this means is that, if the DOJ\u2019s indictment is accurate, the SPLC is probably the single greatest funder of \u201cwhite supremacy\u201d in the entire country. No one else is paying this kind of money to fund white nationalist rallies, which is why the SPLC had to do it themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">What needs to be emphasized here is that, fundamentally, the SPLC is not some random one-off left-wing activist group. They are a wing of the Democrat Party in charge of engineering domestic Color Revolutions with fraudulent narratives that they invent out of thin air, for the purpose of overthrowing conservative administrations and replacing them with Leftists. Then, once the Leftists are in charge, SPLC starts writing memos that the FBI uses to justify violent crackdowns on conservatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">For example, a couple of years ago, the FBI field office in Richmond declared that Catholics were a domestic terror threat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what <a href=\"https:\/\/judiciary.house.gov\/sites\/evo-subsites\/republicans-judiciary.house.gov\/files\/evo-media-document\/fbi-anti-catholic-memo.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the FBI wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>FBI Richmond assesses the increasingly observed interest of racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists in radical-traditionalist Catholic (RTC) ideology almost certainly presents opportunities for threat mitigation through the exploration of new avenues for tripwire and source development. \u2026 As of 2021, the Southern Poverty Law Center identified nine RTC hate groups operating in the United States.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>See how this works? It\u2019s very similar to Russiagate.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The FBI\u2019s allies in a left-wing group write some memo, and then the FBI will cite that memo as if it\u2019s an independent justification to launch an investigation. Meanwhile, inside the FBI, agents were writing emails about how insane it was that the SPLC was dictating the FBI\u2019s activities. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Here\u2019s one of those emails, where FBI employees react to the designation of some Catholics as a hate group, at the behest of the SPLC.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1082573 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/email-unclassified-639x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"639\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/email-unclassified-639x576.jpg 639w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/email-unclassified-300x270.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/email-unclassified-768x692.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/email-unclassified.jpg 830w\" sizes=\"auto,  (max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\"\/><\/div>\n<p>One FBI employee writes:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Ummm, that is interesting, several thoughts, but mostly, who is the customer.

And it was clear why they wanted to do that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Take a look at this screenshot from the SPLC\u2019s website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1082575\" style=\"width:663px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1082575\" class=\"wp-image-1082575 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/DHS-recruitment-653x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"653\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/DHS-recruitment-653x576.jpg 653w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/DHS-recruitment-300x265.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/DHS-recruitment-768x677.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/DHS-recruitment.jpg 804w\" sizes=\"auto,  (max-width: 653px) 100vw, 653px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1082575\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">SPLC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The caption reads, \u201cThe Department of Homeland Security posted this image with the caption \u201cWhich Way, American Man?\u201d in August 2025. The caption appears to be a reference to a white nationalist book published by the National Alliance, a neo-Nazi hate group.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">See how this works? The SPLC wants groups like the National Alliance to exist, so that they can accuse the Trump administration of associating with them. Meanwhile, the SPLC doesn\u2019t tell you that, in secret, they\u2019re not simply associating with these groups \u2014 they\u2019re funding them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">And according to the indictment, this happened all the time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>The SPLC [funnelled] more than $160,000.00 from a fictitious entity to F-11 who then sent funds to various violent extremist group leaders including the former Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">It\u2019s the kind of strategy that\u2019s effective because, unless you\u2019re extremely familiar with how depraved left-wing activists are, it would never occur to you that they\u2019re doing any of this. But they feel a need to do it, because otherwise, there would be no right-wing \u201chate groups.\u201d If the SPLC didn\u2019t fund them, they wouldn\u2019t exist. And then Democrats would lose power, and the SPLC would run out of money.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">It\u2019s the same reason your anti-virus software bugs you all the time. If your anti-virus software told you the truth \u2014 which is that you really don\u2019t need to pay for anti-virus software anymore \u2014 then obviously no one would subscribe. So instead, they pester you with fake \u201cthreats\u201d and scare tactics. It\u2019s the same principle, except in the case of the SPLC, they were having a substantial effect on American politics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The more you read this indictment, the more you realize how shameless it was.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>According to the DOJ, the SPLC was paying the same Klan members it was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/media\/1437146\/dl?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=govdelivery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">complaining about<\/a> on its website.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>F-unknown was the Imperial Wizard of the United Klans of America. In an article published on November 22, 2013, the SPLC described the group as a \u201cmillennial reboot of what was once a serious domestic threat. \u2026 F-30 led the National Socialist Party of America, was the former director of a faction of the Aryan Nations, and a former member of the Ku Klux Klan. The SPLC website contained an \u201cExtremist File\u201d webpage for F-30 from which the SPLC solicited donations. Between 2014 and 2016, the SPLC secretly paid F30 more than $70,000.00. This overlapped the time period in which F-30 was featured on the SPLC\u2019s \u201cExtremist File\u201d webpage.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This appears to be that webpage, from the SPLC:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1082579\" style=\"width:376px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1082579\" class=\"wp-image-1082579 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/mullet-366x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"366\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/mullet-366x576.jpg 366w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/mullet-191x300.jpg 191w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/mullet-768x1208.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/mullet-977x1536.jpg 977w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/mullet.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"auto,  (max-width: 366px) 100vw, 366px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1082579\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">SPLC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">As you can see, they characterize the guy as a Neo-Nazi. And meanwhile, they\u2019re paying him tens of thousands of dollars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">So now I\u2019m starting to get a little frustrated, because again, I was also listed on their website as an \u201cextremist.\u201d They put my photo up there and everything. I was on their hate map, as someone who absolutely must be stopped. And yet, for all of this, I wasn\u2019t paid a single cent at any point. I served as \u201cGeneral Hate\u201d without any pay whatsoever. Meanwhile, the KKK wizards were raking it in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">If nothing else, this whole situation gives me new respect for Jussie Smollett. He bootstrapped his fake hate crime and paid for it himself, rather than having SPLC organize and fund it for him. He didn\u2019t need SPLC money any more than I did. So there\u2019s a lesson here: Support your local mom and pop hate crime hoax operations. Do it now, before they\u2019re all put out of business by the big guys.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Of course, all kidding aside, SPLC wasn\u2019t offering money to genuine conservatives who are effective at advancing conservatism. The idea was to fund and prop up the alleged \u201cright wingers\u201d who were useful to SPLC and the Left. And I suspect that soon, whether through this investigation or those to come, we\u2019re going to find out that there are a fair number of faux conservative figures, the most embarrassing and ridiculous ones, who have been getting paid by the forces they pretend to oppose. There is a symbiotic relationship between left-wing activist groups and supposedly right-wing grifters. This relationship has always been obvious. Now we\u2019re learning about its financial dimensions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Speaking of which, back to the KKK \u2014 what exactly were they doing to get all this SPLC money? Well, here\u2019s one example. It turns out that, about a decade ago, there was a big <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2016\/07\/05\/us\/georgia-kkk-adopt-a-highway-lawsuit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">controversy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> in Georgia over something called the \u201cAdopt a Highway Program.\u201d The idea is that, if you\u2019re an organization, you can \u201cadopt\u201d a section of the state highway system if you agree to pick up garbage along the side of the road. In exchange for picking up the trash, you get to have your group\u2019s name posted on signs alongside the stretch of highway that you\u2019ve \u201cadopted.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">There was a similar program in Missouri for a while, which led to the creation of this sign along the highway.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1082587\" style=\"width:670px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1082587\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1082587\" src=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/sign-hwy.jpg\" alt=\"Tim Parker \/ Reuters\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/sign-hwy.jpg 660w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/sign-hwy-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto,  (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1082587\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tim Parker \/ Reuters<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Eventually, the sign was taken down, apparently because the KKK didn\u2019t pick up enough trash. But in any event, you can see why the KKK would want this kind of visibility. It\u2019s basically free advertising from the government.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">And apparently, the SPLC was a big fan of that advertising, as well. This is from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/media\/1437146\/dl?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=govdelivery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">the indictment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>F-43 was the reported National President of American Front and a convicted federal felon for his participation in a cross burning. Between 2016 and 2019, the SPLC secretly paid F-43 more than $19,000.00. F-unknown was a member of the Ku Klux Klan and married to an Exalted Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan. F-unknown and their spouse were involved in litigation whereby the Ku Klux Klan applied to take part in the Adopt-a-Highway program. During the course of the litigation, known payments were traced from the SPLC to F-unknown which exceeded $3,500.00.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">It\u2019s not exactly clear what that money bought, but it sounds like the SPLC was all in favor of the KKK getting a stretch of highway named after them. This is how pro-white supremacy the SPLC is. They\u2019re all-in. They won\u2019t stop until every stretch of highway is named after a KKK grand wizard. That\u2019s the extent of their commitment to anti-racism. As Ibram X. Kendi (aka Henry Rogers) once said, the only way to combat racism is to be as racist as possible. And the SPLC, more than any other organization on the planet, has definitely taken that advice to heart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The rest of the indictment outlines the ways in which the SPLC is accused of laundering money through shell companies to these various informants. The indictment says the SPLC set up fake companies like the \u201cCenter Investigative Agency\u201d or CIA, as well as \u201cFox Photography,\u201d \u201cNorth West Technologies,\u201d the \u201cTech Writers Group,\u201d and a \u201cRare Books Warehouse.\u201d The idea is that, for obvious reasons, the SPLC didn\u2019t want to cut checks from its own account. So they may have broken the law by creating a bunch of fake companies to send the wire transfers. And in addition to that, the DOJ is claiming that donors were basically defrauded, because they were donating with the expectation that they were \u201cfighting\u201d right-wing extremism \u2014 not funding it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">This is obviously an ongoing case, and the SPLC is claiming that it was simply paying informants to undermine these groups. And already, Democrats, including Hakeem Jeffries, are claiming that the Trump administration is \u201cweaponizing\u201d the DOJ to go after its political opponents, which, of course, is something Democrats would never do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">For their part, the Democrats\u2019 allies in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbusters.org\/blogs\/nb\/jorge-bonilla\/2026\/04\/21\/omission-networks-fall-silent-indictment-splc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">the media<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> are mostly ignoring the story entirely.\u00a0<\/span>Newsbusters reports:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>ABC, CBS, and NBC all bit their tongues rather than report on the downfall of the self-proclaimed \u201canti-hate\u201d group. In fact, only PBS reported on the indictment. \u2026 [But] PBS\u2019s report on the indictment was vague and unclear. The charges were recited but not explained. The SPLC\u2019s CEO was allowed in for a friendly soundbite.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Imagine that. After years of talking nonstop about Charlottesville, none of the mainstream outlets are going to talk about SPLC\u2019s role in helping organize the rally. After decades of citing the SPLC as a credible source of information on so-called \u201chate groups,\u201d none of them are going to talk about the federal allegations that the company was funding those same groups. Apparently, they\u2019re going with the argument from the Democrat Party, which is that SPLC was simply using \u201cinformants\u201d for legitimate purposes. Meanwhile, something called the \u201cJewish Council for Public Affairs\u201d just<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EithanDHaimMD\/status\/2046797051954888886?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">released<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> a bizarre statement defending SPLC, saying they do invaluable work to \u201ccounter violent extremism\u201d \u2014 never mind the fact that they fund it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">These arguments, of course, amount to complete BS. When you\u2019re paying millions of dollars, you aren\u2019t buying \u201cinformants\u201d \u2014 you\u2019re supporting the organizations themselves, and propping them up. It\u2019s obvious what the game was. SPLC funded \u201cright-wing extremist\u201d groups so that it could turn around and fundraise off of them, and use them as a pretext to crack down on conservatives nationwide. That\u2019s what was actually happening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">But even if these excuses were true, it would just serve to underscore the degree to which the Left has created quasi-government agencies despite having no legal authority to do so. The SPLC \u2014 according to their own defense \u2014 was acting like the FBI, hiring undercover agents to \u201cdisrupt terrorism\u201d and so on. It\u2019s hard to ignore the fact that, based on this indictment, we\u2019ve been living under the tyranny not just of unelected judges and bureaucrats, but also of unelected activist organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">I\u2019ve been beating this drum for a while now \u2014 about the need for the Trump administration to go to war with these fake non-profits and NGOs that, in reality, are criminal front-groups for the Democrat Party. And with this indictment, more than half a year after the murder of Charlie Kirk, the Trump administration is finally getting serious about doing that. And that\u2019s genuinely worth applauding. I have plenty of criticisms about this administration, which I\u2019ve voiced many times. But if they can dismantle these cancerous left-wing front groups \u2014 the same way they closed the border and shut down the fraudulent asylum claims \u2014 then unequivocally, this administration will have been a success. It certainly will have been a hell of a lot better than the alternative. And as tempting as it might be to engage in doomerism and complain nonstop, we need to celebrate wins when they happen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">We need to recognize this indictment as a sign of major progress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">And we also need to understand, at the same time, that SPLC is the tip of the iceberg. It appears the SPLC is a criminal organization. Every Leftist activist group is just as corrupt, dishonest, and sinister as this. They all want you dead. They all celebrated what happened to Charlie Kirk. They\u2019re all willing to go to extraordinary lengths \u2014 lengths unfathomable to sane people \u2014 to defame, harass, and destroy their opponents. So it\u2019s not crazy to wonder who, for instance, was behind January 6th. If they\u2019re willing to spend millions of dollars on false flag operations, for the purpose of generating a narrative they can use to demonize and jail their political opponents for several years, then it\u2019s not exactly a stretch to conclude that January 6th was just like Charlottesville\u2014a well-funded psy-op.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">It\u2019s not exactly unheard of. Something <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/NPD_ban_proceedings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">similar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> to this incident happened back in 2001, in Germany. The federal government wanted to ban the \u201cNational Democratic Party of Germany,\u201d saying they were run by Nazis. But the plan fell apart when it emerged that, in fact, \u201cconfidential informants of German intelligence agencies\u201d were \u201cactive in the leadership of the party.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Intelligence agencies and activist groups have never stopped running this playbook. During the Canadian trucker convoy, some mysterious Nazi flags appeared \u2014 and the people holding them eventually went back to a hotel that was being used by Canada\u2019s federal police. These kinds of psy-ops are extremely common. But if you say any of this out loud, they\u2019ll come after you, relentlessly. They bankrupted Alex Jones and stole his company, not because of anything he said about a school shooting, but because he made observations like this, about Charlottesville:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Here\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RealAlexJones?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@RealAlexJones<\/a> NAILING the Charlottesville \u201cUnite the Right\u201d false-flag years ago, shortly after it happened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCharlottesville was mainly a bunch of homosexual leftists dressing up like Nazis\u2026 the same leftist foundations are funding the white supremacists\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>PUT A\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cQeJOmg3qL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/cQeJOmg3qL<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Harrison H.
