Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

The SPLC Was One Giant Fraud

By

The Southern Poverty Law Center’s indictment.

Fourteen years ago, the Southern Poverty Law Center named me a hate group of one. The honor wasn’t mine alone, I shared it with a sign outside a bar and a brand of gun oil.

What was behind the SPLC’s sloppy hate group designation of one man, a bar sign and other random items was its obsession with manufacturing a constant rise in ‘hate groups.’

Year after year, the SPLC would issue reports claiming that hate groups were increasing in number, and then fundraise off the urgent threat that they had invented.

I caught them doing it time and time again.

In 2017, the SPLC issued a report claiming that the “number of anti-Muslim hate groups tripled since 2015”. How did the leftist group arrive at this number? It listed Act for America, a patriotic organization started by a Christian refugee from Islamic persecution, as one group in 2015.

Then it listed 45 chapters of Act for America as separate organizations in 2017. Suddenly the number of ‘Islamophobic’ groups had tripled. Such pathetically obvious statistical frauds were all too common in the Southern Poverty Law Center’s work, but the media rarely questioned it.

Or why the SPLC seemed so bent on artificially inflating the number of supposed hate groups.

Next year however the SPLC listed a progressive town on its ‘Hate Map’ because there had been an online comment that proposed a Neo-Nazi book club should meet there. There was no evidence that the club existed, that it had ever met at the town or that the town had anything to do with it, but the town still found it impossible to get the SPLC to delist it. And media stories appeared for the first time questioning the SPLC’s methodology which proved to be made up.

In addition to inventing and faking ‘hate groups’, we already knew that the Southern Poverty Law Center had been helping fund some hate groups, but the recent grand jury indictment of the organization shows that the scale of these payments had surpassed $3 million.

Even while old ladies were being sent envelopes stamped with klansmen burning crosses and urged to donate to stop them, the SPLC was using their money to fund members of both the Ku Klux Klan and the United Klans of America through bank accounts linked to fake organizations.

Despite its public hostility, the SPLC always had always enjoyed a somehow complicated relationship with the KKK. Morris Dees, the founder of the SPLC, who had formerly worked for George Wallace, had defended a klansman attacking civil rights workers. Dees, an experienced direct marketer, turned his direct sales machine into the SPLC, suing Klan groups for millions, and then funneled millions to Klan members supposedly acting as ‘informants’ in ways that blurred the line between the SPLC and the KKK. The line grew even blurrier when Dees was ousted from the SPLC over organizational sexism and racism allegations.

Dees had switched from profiting off the KKK and allied racists to profiting from white liberal northerners who viewed them as a dangerous bogeyman. When efforts to pretend that the KKK was still relevant faltered, the SPLC went into the business of similarly fighting religious conservatives and anyone concerned about Islam. That’s how I became a hate group.

Along the way, the SPLC tried to destroy the David Horowitz Freedom Center, running a covert campaign to get our bank accounts shut down, to cut off donations to us and to stop us from being able to run our websites, like Front Page Magazine, and to even exist at all on the internet.  We eventually beat the SPLC, but not without taking a serious beating along the way. Others suffered worse. Including a terrorist attack aimed at Alliance Defending Freedom by a gunman sourcing his target from the SPLC.

But, unlike the KKK, the SPLC didn’t write us any checks.

The SPLC had two motives for its systemic fraud: first to raise money, and second, to manufacture a crisis of constantly growing hate groups to justify censoring conservatives.

Equating David Horowitz, who had fought for civil rights, with the Klan, which turned out to be subsidized by the SPLC, was about weaponizing the fake campaign against the KKK to eliminate as much of the conservative movement as the leftist group could manage to take out.

The SPLC needed the KKK, just as it needed the ‘Unite the Right’ rally, where it was helping to fund a participant, to keep the money coming and to end free speech in America.

Soon after the Southern Poverty Law Center named me a hate group and I began looking into their hate maps and hate lists, I quickly saw that the SPLC was faking its data. The fake data helped make the SPLC into an authority on ‘hate’. The FBI and local law enforcement turned to the SPLC Politicians propped it up. The tech industry allowed it to censor whom it wanted to.

My listing was just one piece of bad data that the SPLC had been feeding into a machine of lies that made it wealthy and powerful. The Southern Poverty Law Center’s reign of terror was built on lies, on fraud and on funding the very people whom it promised donors that it was fighting.

Now, the curtain is rising to reveal the SPLC’s dirty tactics and how it faked hate in America.

The Southern Poverty Law Center faked a crisis to gain power and profit. Now it’s time for the SPLC to apologize to organizations like ours and to individuals like me for trying to destroy them by using lies, and it’s time for the legal system to hold the SPLC accountable for funding hate.

Comments

  1. I believe Morris Dees and Joe Levin were well-intentioned when they created the SLPC in 1971. When Dees was “fired,” I believed it because he discovered just how corrupt they were. There are snakes in the wood pile.

  2. “Patel, civil rights activist rip SPLC after DOJ alleges group funded the ‘villains’ they claimed to fight”

    I read yesterday that they funded the KKK.

    “”The Southern Poverty Law Center ran a methodical, calculated scheme to defraud their donor base of $3 million and lied to them and used an illicit banking structure system to create shell companies to hide their money and who it was being sent to, specifically for the reason to sow discord and hate into our society.”

    “Lexington woman accused of plotting violent attack at Houston synagogue”
    “A Lexington woman is facing serious felony charges after authorities say she plotted a violent attack targeting a synagogue in Houston, Texas.

    According to an arrest warrant from Davidson County, Angelina Han Hicks is accused of conspiring with two men – identified only as “Teegan” and “Angel” – to carry out an attack against members of Congregation Beth Israel Synagogue.”

    Lots of charges against them….and they wanted to drive through the building and kill as many Jews as they could.

  4. With this revelation concerning the SPLC, now is the time for the IRS to revoke their 501(c)(3) charitable status once and for all. Their donations will dry up and they will be out of business

    • Excellent idea. If this were a “right wing” organization, the IRS would have revoked non-profit status

  6. Many plants in Charleston, Jan 6 ….
    That’s how Democrats win elections no matter how much it destabilizes the country and no matter how many deaths. Just win elections and retain power.

  7. Why shouldn’t everyone involved with the Southern Poverty Law Center be arrested and thrown in prison?

  9. “The SPLC Was……” Was? Still Is! Interestingly, their “Hate USA” map included many Muslim groups!
    About 2008, SPLC targeted Dr. James Dobson of Coral Gables FL as a “hate group” and he sued for
    defamation but never heard anything more.
    Also, SPLC once defamed a pediatrician’s group in FL because they opposed same-sex marriage.

  11. According to Daniel Greenfield’s feature article:

    “Now it’s time for the SPLC to apologize to organizations like ours and to individuals like me for trying to destroy them by using lies…”

    Yes, an apology would be nice – but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

    Hit them with a lawsuit for megabucks.

  12. Will the actor George Clooney ask for a refund of his $1,000,000 donation made to the SPLC In 2017? Plus interest of course.

    The dumb and famous.

  13. Not to defend the splc but it seems they were taking a page out of the FBI’s book, specifically countelpro , where the bureau had instigaters within the kkk and black panthers and the top echelon informant program (tei). where similarly some mafioso were encouraged to start gang wars.

  14. Has SPLC ever condemned any Muslim organization?

    Did SPLC ever condemn Muslim hate?

  15. SPLC the Southern Poverty Law Center is and insult to the South. The name implies that they are helping the poor people of the South. When thats not true at all.

  16. Among the many discredited and lied about by the SPLC was Dr Bill Warner, founder of the Center for the Study of Political Islam,

    Bill never wrote or spoke about any specific Muslim or political party. He was only concerned about the ideology of Islam contained in the Islamic doctrinal texts. But due to CAIR and its influence on the SPLC, he was vilified, called a racist (ironically he worked in the Civil Rights movement and taught at a predominately Black university), a”merchant of hate” for writing books on Islam and, of course, an Islamophobe. He lost his PayPal account, his position on google searches, was shadow-banned and denied monetization income by all social media platforms.

    Hopefully, the indictment of the SPLC will lead to justice being served for Bill Warner and all others who stood up and told the truth about Islam and suffered for their courageous actions.

    • A short history of the Islamic Revolution in Iran and its Constitution, the political, ideological and Islamic nature of the Revolution and its vision of world domination under Islamic Law, Sharia; Bill Siegel lays out the threat of Islam in the Muslims’ own words. Know who the enemy is. With the Left and Right obsessing over Israel and “The Jews’, attention has diverted from the real threat from a heavily armed, fanatical Muslim regime.

    • I don’t know Bill Warner. From what you state, it appears he is right. I would disagree with phrase “political Islam”. It is Islam itself as the Constitution of the Islamic “Republic” of Iran clearly, unequivcally and uncompromisinglyh states. This is authentic Isalm

      In 1786, the Ambassador from Tripoli explained to Thomas Jefferson and John Adams Abdul Rahman Adja. Following this diplomatic exchange, the Americans laid out the source of Barbary’s hitherto inexplicable animosity in a letter to Congress:

      We took the liberty to make some inquiries concerning the grounds of their [Barbary’s] pretentions to make war upon nations who had done them no injury, and observed that we considered all mankind as our friends who had done us no wrong, nor had given us any provocation.

      The ambassador answered us that it was founded on the laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Musselman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise [dated March 28, 1786].

  18. And the other fraud
    “Minn. lawmakers demand records after Rep. Ilhan Omar skips fraud hearing”

    “Committee chair says Omar authored the bill that enabled the fraud
    House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., warned this week that Omar “must be held accountable to the fullest extent” if she is found to have been involved in or benefited from any fraud.”
    The committee chair said Omar also ducked questions from reporters.”

    Ugly stuff, but no surprises. Thanks, Mr.Greenfield.

  20. The exposure of the SPLC funding the Klan is just hilarious! Allies of the party whose members wear Blackface
