On Tuesday, April 21st, a Grand Jury in Montgomery, Alabama indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit money laundering based on FBI and IRS investigations. (See press release here.)
According to the indictment, between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC secretly paid more than $3 million to people affiliated with such Right-wing groups as:
- The Ku Klux Klan
- United Klans of America
- Unite the Right
- National Alliance
- National Socialist Movement
- Aryan Nations affiliated Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club
- National Socialist Party of America (American Nazi Party)
- American Front
These payments went beyond simply paying informants to collect information, which is what the SPLC’s donors were supporting them to do. Instead, it is alleged that the SPLC was shaping the messaging of these groups and helping them to organize events—which the SPLC would then decry as “hate” and use as a basis to rush back to their donors to raise more funds.
Thus Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said that “The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence.” FBI Director Kash Patel said, “The SPLC allegedly engaged in a massive fraud operation to deceive their donors, enrich themselves, and hide their deceptive operations from the public. They lied to their donors, vowing to dismantle violent extremist groups, and actually turned around and paid the leaders of these very extremist groups—even utilizing the funds to have these groups facilitate the commission of state and federal crimes. That is illegal—and this is an ongoing investigation against all individuals involved.”
Apparently, the supply of “extremism” and “hate” was not sufficient to support the SPLC’s rapacious fundraising, so they just manufactured some hate. It is no different in principle from rabbis spray-painting swastikas on synagogues, or blacks spray-painting the word “nigger,” and then posing as victims of hate crimes.
But it was far more lucrative. For a mere investment of $3 million to manufacture hate, the SPLC raised almost $1 billion in donations to fight hate between 2014 and 2023.
When I heard about the indictment, I uncorked some cheap champagne—something that pairs well with popcorn—and kicked back to watch the internet go crazy.
Here are my thoughts.
It should be news to no one that White Nationalism, like other dissident political movements, is targeted by governments and non-governmental organizations for surveillance, infiltration, and subversion.
As White Nationalist, I have an interest in knowing who the infiltrators and informants are. First, we need to purge them. It would be nice if some of them do jail time for their crimes. Second, it would be good to know what damage they did. Perhaps movement organizations and individuals can pursue damages in court. Third, it would help us create a more accurate psychological profile of such traitors, so we can keep them out in the future.
You can buy Greg Johnson’s Is America Doomed? here.
The Trump administration also has an interest in outing at least some of these informants and infiltrators. They will not, of course, out the federal government’s own operatives. But they have an interest in outing the informants of an NGO such as the SPLC, which routinely slurs the Trump administration by linking it to White Nationalists and other “extremist” groups on the Right.
These slurs really sting people like Trump. The hallmark of the “normie” conservative is the conviction that “racism” and identity politics for white people are simply evil. Of course, this only applies to white racism and identity politics. The GOP routinely panders to non-white racists and identitarians, as does the rest of the political mainstream. Indeed, anti-white racism is now the one unifying characteristic of the political mainstream. The American Right is steadily shedding this dogma, but it remains especially powerful among Boomers like Trump.
Thus, when the Justice Department discovered that the SPLC had not just been watching and infiltrating “hate groups” but actually putting money in their coffers, directing their messaging, helping to organize their events, and then raising funds off of the results, they naturally regarded this as a way to kill two birds with one stone: take down the SPLC for fraud and smear the far Right as being astroturfed by the Left.
Claiming that the far Right is fake has long been popular among low-IQ MAGA influencers. When Trump was out of office and not running the Feds, MAGAtards loved to claim that far-Right groups like Patriot Front were “Feds” paid to make Trump look bad. Now that Trump is head Fed, they have smoothly pivoted to the claim that Unite the Right was astroturfed by the SPLC.
So is this good or bad for White Nationalism?
It is an unmitigated boon. The SPLC, one of the banes of our existence, will be weakened by this. It may even be destroyed.
But how is it a good thing that White Nationalist groups had high-level infiltrators? It isn’t. But given that there were such infiltrators, it is good to know who they are. It isn’t good to have cancer, but it is good to know if you have it. This news is not akin to cancer. It is akin to the diagnosis. Thus the Trump administration has done our movement a huge favor. Thank you, President Trump.
But isn’t it bad that smooth brains on X are claiming that the entire White Nationalist milieu is simply astroturfed by the Left? Sure, in a perfect world, in which there were no stupid and dishonest people, this would not be happening. But that’s not reality.
Good news is still good news, no matter what idiots twist it into.
We are lied about and slandered all the time. This is just a drop in the ocean. Beyond that, it isn’t even a new slander.
Intelligent people are not taken in, and more of them are coming to our side every day.
The claim that our movement is astroturfed is the same sort of wishful thinking that attributes national populism to a few charismatic politicians deceiving the masses.
In truth, our movement has far firmer foundations. Nationalism, populism, and white identity politics are growing because of the failures of liberalism, multiculturalism, and globalization.
There’s a great deal of speculation about who the informants actually are. Naturally, everyone thinks that their least favorite nationalist is the villain. I see little reason to get too worked up over this. These operatives do not enjoy the immunity of federal informants. All their names will be revealed eventually.
When the SPLC goes on trial for manufacturing hate and defrauding its donors, I wonder what an Alabama jury will think of it. Here’s hoping that the SPLC is shut down, its assets distributed to its victims, and its operatives perp-waddled off to enjoy the joys of diversity in close quarters.

That closing paragraph was perfect Greg. I even want to see Morris Dees stand tall before the man.
Great article! Well, I know I am good; I wouldn’t recognize my fellow Counter-Currents members if I passed you on the street (stay away from me). It is also gratifying to see that Counter-Currents did not make the list; it would be traumatic to realize I have been contributing to a “false front” organization all these years. Yet another reason to use a pseudonym, and try to achieve some distance, and anonymity. P.S. This will be the author, and the article of the month selection. 🙃
What sort of person would take money from the SPLC? And who would want to work as an under-cover agent, inside some marginal political group such as those listed above? Such people have no self-respect.
You’d have to pay me a lot of money to do anything like that, more than the SPLC would be willing to pay. I would demand it all in advance. And then I’d take the money and run.
I expect they pretended to be on their side, rather than straight-up admitting to being with the SPLC.
What would possess any White person to hate the White race. ( I can understand if they are Jews, because Jews aren’t White.) Otherwise, it’s suicidal for any person to hate his own race.
This indictment is good news. It could never happen under a Democrat regime. The Democrats would never prosecute such crimss, because they agree with them. They are criminals themselves, The Democratic Party is officially pro-crime, pro-open-borders and anti-White.
Trump is bad, for many reasons. But the Democrats are a thousand times worse. They are “woke”, that is, “gay race communists”. They are also pro-war, of course, because they hate Iran. Most Democrats agree with Trump’s war against Iran, but hope to profit politically when it fails.
What I want to know is which National Alliance affiliate got a $1,000,000 and which National Alliance chairman got $140,000 dollars. 🙃
Warren Balogh and/or his old man probably know who they are, but they have yet to enlighten the rest of us.
Peter, a piece was posted today at nationalvanguard.org which speculates who those people are. The article is called Chaos At The Compound Redux.
The second graphic says former National Alliance Chairman. If that’s accurate, that gives us a pretty short list. Pierce was a straight shooter, and so is Williams today. However, the interim guy’s leadership qualities left much to be desired back then.
Any idea who the Unite the Right figure was? So it seems like paying informants to mole their way in is okay but actually funneling money to people within the movement per se is forbidden? I’m wondering what sort of legal artifice the SPLC will try to pull. Color me cynical, but I won’t be surprised if there is some sort of jury nullification. “It was against white supremacy, so these underhanded or even illegal tactics are okay.”
I wonder how the government was able to figure this out. The $3 million investment Greg mentioned with the $1 billion payout in donations is truly something. We often hear that organizations like these don’t actually want to end “hate” since that is what keeps them in business. Sort of like how medicine often doesn’t want a cure but something to treat the symptoms (20th Covid-19 omega-beta-theta variant booster shot QED).
I won’t be surprised if the ADL has does similar things. If memory serves, they were sued for quite a bit of money for putting listening devices in someone’s house who got into a kerfuffle with their Jewish neighbor.
“It was against white supremacy, so these underhanded or even illegal tactics are okay.”
All a black prosecutor has to ask is “So you paid these whites to say nigger all day to fight white supremacy? That’s exactly how a white supremacist would think!”
Wait just a gd minute. You mean to tell me that people have been getting paid good money to spread “hate”? And here I’ve been a one-man hate group for the last 30 years and have been paid diddly squat.
Life ain’t fair, I tell ya.
As White Nationalist, I have an interest in knowing who the infiltrators and informants are. First, we need to purge them. It would be nice if some of them do jail time for their crimes. Second, it would be good to know what damage they did. Perhaps movement organizations and individuals can pursue damages in court.
I think it’s fair to assume that infiltrators (whether they are directed by the SPLC or are unaffiliated antifa types) will often go out of their way to promote self-destructive policies. Those who push harmful rhetoric, self-ghettoizing behavior, or who twist our ideas into parodies of what we actually believe shouldn’t be trusted.
While it’s a bit off topic, there’s also the issue of foreign infiltration / cooption / redirection. There’s quite a lot of evidence of Russian web brigades interfering in Western groups and I’ve personally noticed some “German nationalists” write in a way which is distinctively Slavic.
English and German both rely heavily on definite and indefinite articles. German has more articles than English (der, die, das, ein, eine, einer, einem, etc.) and it often requires the use of articles for abstract concepts. Conversely, most Slavic languages lack both definite and indefinite articles. This means that Germans tend to overuse “the” while writing in English whereas Russians often drop necessary articles. As the latter get better at English, they’ll sometimes develop their own idiosyncratic grammatical rules. It isn’t rare for them to use articles at the beginning of a sentence and forget them at the end because, in their languages, known information is put first (“theme-rheme structure”) so they’re more precise in their opening statement.
Third, it would help us create a more accurate psychological profile of such traitors, so we can keep them out in the future.
I think we should also think about framing / structuring the White Advocacy movement in a way that it draws in psychologically healthy people while pushing away those who are unhinged. The BAP types have brought in a lot of “off” people by pushing overly edgy language and ideas (the Caribbean sex island jokes and rhetoric about polygamy).
I thought about making a joke about how if a specific group of individuals in a particular sector could go missing or end up dead like the recent group of top scientists, then maybe other segments of society might be targeted in the future by foreign nationals and picked off. But then I thought I’d sound like a nut job, a trouble maker or a wannabe trained assassin like in that tv show “Killing Eve”, written by some CIA guy.
Many questions, such as: did these idiots even know they were being paid by the SPLC?
Pretty sure they were. Did they really think they were being paid by some of the front companies, for instance the Rare Book Warehouse, to gather data on their extremist groups?
Instead, it is alleged that the SPLC was shaping the messaging of these groups…
I can’t wait till we find out who they deployed to convince “pro-Whites” to defame and scapegoat more than half the White race with misogyny and hatred of Christians.
We recently discovered that ActBlue purposely disabled it’s own safeguards against subversion by foreign money. (That’s no surprise, of course.) Meanwhile, the dissident right has no such safeguards. So long as that state of affairs continues, nothing can be done.
These slurs really sting people like Trump. The hallmark of the “normie” conservative is the conviction that “racism” and identity politics for white people are simply evil.
I suspect this black-pilling is itself a product of the very subversion that is the subject of this article. If you want to know what Trump is thinking about identity, look at Marco Rubio’s Munich speech, which Trump described as “almost too good.”. I don’t know what more anyone could possibly expect at this juncture.
It is wishful thinking on your part to claim that the things you dislike are merely astroturfed.
Was Jason Kessler of Unite the Right involved as an informant? I’d hate to think he was.
There’s no point in speculating about this. The names will come out eventually.
A way we can further spin this our way is to say the right is not being smeared by this at all. All of our bad actors we can pass off as feds or moles. And the real right, ie, all the good actors, remain. There is rhetorical capital in this for sure.
Thank you, Greg. I will be voting for this as the Article of the Month for April, not for your usual brilliance but because of its real world importance to Our Cause.
You say: There’s a great deal of speculation about who the informants actually are. Naturally, everyone thinks that their least favorite nationalist is the villain. I see little reason to get too worked up over this. These operatives do not enjoy the immunity of federal informants. All their names will be revealed eventually.
Judging by the comments there is a “great deal of ignorance” about the SPLC and how it has operated against those of us who advocate for the White race. I’ve been dealing with the bastards up close and personal since 1986, ever since SPLC co-founder Morris Dees, working with DOJ, banned the White Patriot Party in federal court in my hometown, Raleigh, NC. I attended every session of that 5-day trial and got my first hard lesson in how “our” justice system is not ours. Incredible! The prosecutor, the U.S. Attorney, actually turned the prosecution of the WPP for violating SPLC’s consent agreement over to SPLC Chief, Morris Dees. Incredible! The WPP defendants did not even have a defense attorney.
A careful read of the indictment names SPLC’s alleged paid operatives, codified. It doesn’t take too much speculation to figure out who an organizer of the Unite the Right event in Charlottesville is who was allegedly paid $270,000. C-C author Jason Kessler would know. Who is the National Alliance affiliate who was paid $1,000,000+, or the former National Alliance Chairman who was paid $140,000 between 2014 and 2023? We can speculate, like we do here, posted today: “Chaos at the Compound Redux: SPLC Indicted by DOJ” at nationalvanguard.org
More interesting for context may be this classic by SPLC victim William Pierce, written nearly 30 years ago “William Pierce on Lawyers and the SPLC” at nationalvanguard.org
…The judicial system in America has become one of the most destructive weapons in the hands of our enemies….
A similar misuse of the courts… is that engaged in most notoriously by a lawyer named Morris Dees and the so-called Southern Poverty Law Center. Morris Dees uses the courts as a prop to assist him in raising money from a large mailing list of feminists, Jews, leftists, and other supporters of the Clinton agenda. He looks for a group which is unpopular with his supporters — a group of anti-abortionists, for example, or a religious group with a doctrine his Jewish supporters consider anti-Semitic — then he looks for a plaintiff he can use as a straw man for filing a lawsuit against the target group. Then he sends out fund appeals to his list of feminists, Jews, and leftists, in which he says: “I am suing such-and-such a group, and I intend to bankrupt them and put them out of business, but I need your help. This lawsuit is very expensive. Send me your largest possible donation today, and I will shut this group down for you.”
And he has built up a bank account of more than $70 million in this fashion during the past few years, because he always brings in far more money with his fund appeals than he actually spends on litigation against the target groups.
Using the courts in this fashion is called barratry, and lawyers who engaged in barratry used to be disbarred — but not [any more]. [Today,] Morris Dees is a darling of the legal establishment. He is invited to speak to groups of lawyers. He is given awards by bar associations. Other lawyers admire him for his success at barratry. They envy him for the amount of money he has made at it. And Dees, unlike the group of abortionists who won the lawsuit in Portland recently and unlike most of the gun-control advocates filing lawsuits against gun manufacturers, doesn’t even pretend to be anything but a barrator. He brags publicly about it. When he sued me, on a legal theory so far-fetched you wouldn’t believe it, because I had purchased some real estate from a church that was one of his targets, he bragged to the newspapers and to his list of supporters: “I’m going to shut Pierce down.”
Well, he didn’t shut me down, but he got his lawsuit against me tried in a court where the judge was a Clinton appointee, and it ended up costing me nearly $150,000, while Dees raked in nearly $10 million in donations from his supporters….
Read more at the link. Pierce can be believed.
This barratry more or less sounds like lawfare. It is a cynical abuse of the legal system. We can only hope rhe SPLC gets their just desserts.
Josephus Cato: April 24, 2026 This barratry more or less sounds like lawfare. It is a cynical abuse of the legal system. We can only hope rhe SPLC gets their just desserts.

More or less, Joe. Pierce clearly describes Morris Dees, the successful barrator. WikiJews define lawfare, the just as crooked use of the judicial system:
The term is a portmanteau of the words “law” and “warfare.” “An attempt to damage or delegitimize an opponent, or to deter an individual’s usage of their legal rights. The term may refer to the use of legal systems and principles against an enemy, such as by damaging or delegitimizing them, wasting their time, energy, and money …”
The National Alliance Reform & Restoration Group (NARRG) vs. National Alliance — The 2014 $2 million civil suit that I had to defend against, is the best example of lawfare I’m familiar with. We prevailed, but only after a nasty, time-wasting court fight costing $50,000+ in legal expenses, mostly my own savings. SPLC sided with NARRG’s misuse of the courts to try and destroy NA, but ultimately failed.
Where are they all now? A volunteer sent me a transcription of one page, 26, from the chapter, SPLC Vows to “Destroy” the National Alliance, in my non-fiction legal thriller, available here: Pocahontas Show Trial by William W. Williams – Cosmotheism
…Government agencies rely on the SPLC. In 2012, the SPLC stated “Law enforcement agencies come to us every day with questions about particular groups”. This may be due to the above mentioned limitations for law enforcement agencies and may be seen as problematic by circumventing the law as well as being problematic by relying on a biased source for information.
In 2010, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) organized a “Countering Violent Extremism Working Group.” The member list also included Richard Cohen, President of the Southern Poverty Law Center. In addition, as one of the “Subject Matter Experts, it listed Laurie Wood, an analyst for the Southern Poverty Law Center and an instructor for the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. The training center is run by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Law enforcement agencies send their personnel to these training classes to gain Federal Law Enforcement Training Center certification.
The SPLC also offers training for local, state and federal law enforcement officers by request, focusing “on the history, background, leaders and activities of far-right extremists in the United States.”
The SPLC routinely tells us scaremongering stories about how “dangerous” White advocates are. Here writer David Sims talks about his actual experiences as a National Alliance insider working directly with Dr. Pierce (experiences I can confirm myself since I did the same thing): “I didn’t see anyone committing crimes. If any of his employees had even suggested committing one, Dr. Pierce would have kicked him out immediately… What the National Alliance was doing was trying to build a media empire in parallel with the one the Jews already have. We were publishing newspapers, magazines, and books. … No bombs. No burning down Black churches. No beating up on minorities. We were even told to be nice to them… [They] continue to publish misleading presentations in both the mainstream media (news and fiction books and movies) about what a big threat racially conscious White people are, even as they promote racially conscious non-White groups every chance they get. You’d think that their very hypocrisy would offend every White person in America and propel them all into our arms. But, for reasons unknown to me, this does not happen…. The SPLC puts out a polished pretense of being an authority, and a bit of what they say is actually true. On the other hand, much of it isn’t, and they’re always quick to fill in the gaps in whatever way will invite the most opprobrium to us, or will instill in the public awareness about the very groups that would save them, if only they could…. White people have been denied the equal protection of the laws just for buying a book from a White nationalist organization and then being “reported” for doing it by an infiltrator who stole the customer database for the book store owned by the organization”
What Mr. Sims says about someone buying a book and then being “reported” is precisely what the criminals at the SPLC did to Mr. Glen Allen. We should all be supporting the case of Allen v. SPLC — the cause is just, the attorney (Mr. Allen himself) is one of the most competent in the country — and the timing, coinciding with all the chaos at the compound, is platinum-plated perfect.
It’s rather ironic that the most ethnocentric, “racist” people on Earth — the Jews— would create and fund the richest and most aggressive of all the “anti-racist” organizations since the fall of the Soviet Union. But how Jewish is the SPLC? Franklin Ryckaert writes: “Of the twenty-two (22) SPLC senior program staff members, fifteen (15) are Jews. This is a numerical representation of 68%. Of the thirteen (13) SPLC directors, eight (8) are Jews or have Jewish spouses….

There will be no trial to prosecute SPLC unless our side can first engage in pre-trial discovery to find out details of who DOJ claims the “law center” paid money to, to “destroy” White advocacy.

Ok ok, not be a one trick pony or anything, but the reason the Trump administration is investigating the splc now likely has something to do with its position on Zionism. A brief google search easily brings up headlines such as “splc refuses to label Hamas a terrorist group..” etc. The whole rightward shift has to do with the Gaza protests and the need for war with Iran. Be happy for it when it helps, but don’t think we have any agency. Or perhaps this reveals the fundamental error in the dna code of the left.
The investigation dates back to the first Trump administration.
Greg Johnson: April 24, 2026 The investigation dates back to the first Trump administration.
—
Yes, until Biden and his Jew AG Merrick Garland dismissed it. See that pro-SPLC duo together, here: PressReader.com | Joe DOJ connived with SPLC — NY Post 4 October 2025
Some of the Trump administration’s actions are motivated by Zionism, but other actions have other motivations, such as the backlash against the left because of the Charlie Kirk assassination.
For instance, after the murder of Charlie Kirk, Kash Patel announced that the FBI would be ending its partnership with the ADL and the SPLC. Zionists certainly weren’t happy to see the ADL taken down a notch.
The SPLC’s donors and employees are disproportionately Jewish. They are hesitant to take a pro-Palestinian position, to the frustration of sincere leftist employees.
Similarly, some Antifa groups, especially in Germany, are pro-Israel. There have been instances of pro-Palestinian protesters being attacked by Antifa, and there have been instances of Antifa marching around waving Israeli flags. Even in America, Antifa was slow to support the Palestinian cause, and even when they did they seemed to be trying to hijack the movement for their own agenda and/or sabotaging it from within by using their own repulsive tactics. (Antifa agents provocateurs, non-students, led the disastrous hijacking of Hamilton Hall, which led to the downfall of the Columbia University protests).
The Trump administration declared Antifa a terrorist organization because of Charlie Kirk, not because of Israel.
We should be skeptical of the Trump administration, but not cynical. They will often try to hijack our issues for Zionist purposes, but everything they do isn’t always only motivated by Zionism.
If Trump attacks peaceful pro-Palestinian protesters who’ve never done us any harm, we should loudly and clearly say “Not in our name!”
But when the Trump administration does the right thing – when they prosecute the SPLC, disassociate from the ADL, and declare Antifa a terror group – we should give credit where credit is due.
Absolutely. Very well said.
Oh yeah, we should be happy for this either way, but I still think it has to do with antizionism. They wouldn’t be interested in prosecuting the splc without that angle, or rather they wouldn’t have the political capital necessary to carry it through.
I believe you are overthinking this.

Kirk was murdered on 10 September. The AP article announcing the cutting loose of the private Jewish spy outfits, ADL and SPLC, from the FBI was a month later, but had been building for years before anyone had ever heard of Christian Zionist Kirk.

WU: When the Trump administration does the right thing – when they prosecute the SPLC, disassociate from the ADL… we should give credit where credit is due.

Credit should be given to William Pierce, his National Alliance, and other White advocacy patriots that ADL, SPLC, have been smearing for decades with impunity and with assistance from DOJ, other law enforcement agencies, courts and Jew-controlled mass media. Payback to the SPLC by Trump with his DOJ fraud indictment is welcomed, but he will still be surrounded by Jews and is no friend of non-Jewish White advocacy.
Despite that, consider how long the GD SPLC has been trying to tie ultra-Zionist Trump to so-called White “hate groups,” like here 10 years ago: “Donald Trump has a hate group problem” at splcenter.org.
This morning during an interview on [Jewish] CNN’s “State of the Union” businessman Donald Trump repeatedly dodged questions about the Ku Klux Klan and notorious white nationalist David Duke, who announced recently his support for Trump’s campaign.
The Southern Poverty Law Center’s Heidi Beirich released the following statement:
“Donald Trump’s statements this morning are just the latest in a string of incidents where he has used his massive media presence, especially his Twitter account with over 6 million followers, to elevate extremist ideas and individuals. Despite being called out by journalists and organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center, these incidents continue. Condemning David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan at every opportunity should be the easiest thing anyone can do. The hatefulness of their ideas and actions are well-established and should be denounced forcefully by all responsible political leaders.”
Read in my book about some of the crap lesbian Heidi and her illegally-tax-exempt SPLC pals have pulled against our Alliance members over the years.
For example, she once phoned Kevin Strom’s fiancee’s elderly grandmother (since passed), telling her, “Are you aware that your granddaughter is dating a Nazi child-molester?” Imagine that. She also called her parents and employer, feeding them the same line of bs. Fortunately, Heidi’s terror tactic failed. As head of the Cosmotheist Church I was asked to marry Kevin and Vanessa in a lovely, solemn ceremony; they are now expecting their fourth beautiful White child.
Those here at C-C might like this 10/25 letter to the editor of my local paper about the FBI cutting ties with the Jewish watchdog groups, rejected by the paper, as usual, and explained why at our NA forum “Chairman Williams: Letter on ADL, SPLC, FBI” at nationalvanguard.org.
So wignat movements like NSM were funded by splc. Not a big surprise. But the Unite the Right will be interesting to see how they spent money on it.

**wignat – a portmanteau of ”wigger (white nigger)” and “nationalist” popularized by Andrew Anglin and Nick Fuentes, adopted by the “alt right movement.” It is used to describe lower class, violent, and unattractive neo Nazis that were willing to engage in street violence and unabashed Nazism with the use of swastikas and other symbols.
People assume that chief organizer of the Unite the Right thing, Jasson Kessler, is the recipient of SPLC funds. He denies this. However, he very well could have received donations unknowingly through one of several of the tax-exempt “law center’s” illegal dummy front groups (illegal because IRS 501(c)3 tax-exemption rules forbid using such deception).
Plaintiff Kessler has already filed suit, Pro Se, against Defendant McInnes in WV for suggesting he may have received funds from SPLC as a result of DOJ’s indictment. Damages, among other claims, include loss of book sales and income already, due to Defendant’s online chatter about him. See: Kessler_v_McInnes_Complaint_v3.pdf Including:
46. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant’s statements, Plaintiff has suffered and
continues to suffer damages including but not limited to:
(a) Severe injury to his reputation in the community and among persons who
were or would have been his customers, colleagues, and associates;
(b) A measurable decline in sales of his book Charlottesville and the Death of
Free Speech following the publication of Defendant’s defamatory statements, as
potential customers have been deterred from purchasing the book and from
providing their personal contact and payment information on Plaintiff’s website
out of fear that they would be associating with a person publicly accused of
entrapping individuals on behalf of the SPLC and exposing them to legal
jeopardy;
(c) Loss of actual and prospective income and commercial opportunities;
(d) Impaired ability to conduct lawful commerce online, as the false accusations
have created a reasonable perception among members of the public that providing
personal or financial information to Plaintiff is dangerous; and
(e) Emotional distress, anxiety, and harm to personal safety arising from the
dissemination of accusations that Plaintiff is an SPLC informant to audiences
known to harbor hostility toward such individuals.
Thanks for the information on Kessler v. McInnes. My goodness, it certainly didn’t take long for that to boil over.
Douglas Mercer: April 25, 2026 Thanks for the information on Kessler v. McInnes. My goodness, it certainly didn’t take long for that to boil over.
You’re welcome, Doug. I was tipped to listen to thepoliticalcesspool.org weekly radio show tonight on which guests were Jason Kessler, attorneys Glenn Allen, Sam Dickson and a couple of other attorneys, discussed the SPLC indictment. It’s in hour three now as I continue listening to Dr. Michael Hill, former head of the League of the South.
James Edwards is an outstanding host, into his 22d year of hosting the show. It’s a little too heavy into Christianity for my tastes but being a southerner myself I enjoyed listening to the discussion about the fraud indictment against the goddamned “law center.”
I have been involved with fighting SPLC hate group for 40 years so am excited to see this action against it.
The attorney guests seemed to me to be split on whether or not the case will ever make it to trial in the Alabama Middle District. Glen is the most hopeful and best positioned to carry the fight for us. He must be supported financially by all White patriots through his tax-exempt Foundation.
I recommend listening to this Political Cesspool discussion as well as to Dave Gahary’s FTJ interview with Glen Allen earlier this year: https://ftjmedia.com/video/20357 .
It was announced tonight that next Saturday’s TPC show will feature Greg Johnson, so mark your calendar.
This story reminds me how much I despise the many White male actors whose one contribution to the world is a role that amounts to “I’m a White male; hate me.”
If you take money to make our race look bad, you are a despicable person. It’s especially bad because our race is withering under vilification and under policies that are justified by the hostile and contemptuous attitudes that “elite” people have to the great mass of White people and our race in general.
I first head about the SPLC years ago from late Feral House publisher Adam Parfrey, who denounced the censorial watchdog group. It will be interesting to see how this unravels, but their indictment is indeed a good thing.
One way to spot these types is to look around and see who’s talking about stuff like pulling robberies to fund The Cause(tm), blowing things up, assassinations, like that. Odds are anybody who’s doing that is an infiltrator, whether from some “watchdog” group or the Feds.
“Instead, it is alleged that the SPLC was shaping the messaging of these groups and helping them to organize events—which the SPLC would then decry as “hate” and use as a basis to rush back to their donors to raise more funds.”
I hope the Department of Justice does not draw the conclusions and allow the SPLC to try to worm its way out, per the part of the above sentence following the hyphen. Use their own weapons against them. Let them attempt to excuse their behaviour as righteous, as in ‘the end justifies the means’.
It should be amusing watching the scumbags defending their “racist” actions to their low IQ anti-White retard psychopaths and have to try to explain that it was for their own good all along.
Fight the far-right extremism! Disband the SPLC!
I was quite surprised that Westboro Baptist Church didn’t make the list. I thought for sure those nutbags were paid actors.
WBC is inreed a false front. They are a whole separate case, allegedly. A family of lawyers doing their own bit.
A quick search will tell you how their case played out.
Now why in the Helheim would the SPLC think funding a Hollywood caricature gang going by “Aryan Nations affiliated Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club” a good idea? I get that manipulating the normies to conflate serious Nationalism with these carnival of idiots helps discredit Nationalism but does giving them money, propping them up as controlled op make sense? What in the 4D chess is going on here?
I found that one puzzling. Sadly, I have not followed their good works and cannot offer an opinion.
I too have not followed their work, shame on us all who have not.
The cynical part of me wants to believe that it’s simply a fact that we are not dealing with a particularly intelligent detractor in the SPLC. The regime is so powerful that one of its branches could use the simple tactic of throwing shit at everything and seeing what sticks with no meaningful consequence for blunders. They’re banking on the strength of the regime that backs them, which is mighty indeed.
I can imagine some potential possibilities. First, to be very unphotogenic with the result of tarring everyone with the same brush. Second, to encourage the controlled opposition to do something extremely ill-advised, which would a) get a lot of people put in jail, b) generate a storm of media publicity, c) maybe get some “hate laws” passed, and d) gin up a bunch of contributions.
Couldn’t most of that be achieved just by constantly kvetching about the group in their Lugenpresse instead of funding them? That group is probably going to organically behave in ways that will get a, b and c accomplished for free. Funding them has not resulted in any of those outcomes.
They’ve been kvetching since forever. It’s what they do. It helps to understand their business model. These so-called “watchdog” groups make their money by scaring deep-pockets senior citizens, getting them to believe that their donations are helping to keep the bloodthirsty Huns at bay. Therefore, any bad news – more Hun activity – is good news for the bottom line. Speaking hypothetically with all this then, recruiting double agents (or at least people too stupid to realize who’s slipping money into their pockets) creates further opportunities yet to generate more bad news. Also, a false flag event can generate high profile incidents or opportunities for entrapment.
The SPLC doxed me, personally attacked me in their usual ways – taking quotes out of context and just pronouncing me….
A RACIST
Doxing sucks, it s not nice and it’s not fair.
But doxing works as have other things the SPLC has done like
Raising over $1 billion in donations.
Fund raising is both and art and science – like most things that matter, White nationalists have not been very good at fundraising. Other groups, people like the Ron Paul/Rand Paul Libertarian cult (it is a cult) raise a lot of money which they waste on pointless Presidential campaigns/crusades where they never win even 1% and choose to humiliate themselves and our race by expressing their great love for
Martin Luther King Jr
Rosa Parks
Michael Brown “hands up don’t shoot”, more like “Pants up don’t loot”
Breonna Taylor the heroin trafficker gangster momma of Louisville KY
George Floyd, Fentanyl Floyd BLM BlackLiesMatter
Yes, I’ve been doxed by the SPLC and….
I have also doxed some very deserving enemies and traitors.
I suggest “We” /You here consider learning how to dox and how to get better at fundraising – there are easy ways to get list of donors to someone sympathetic campaigns like Trump donors.
I remember about 20 years ago when Morris Dees brought his dog and pony show to my university campus in Ohio. At that time I didn’t know much about SPLC, but as I walked past the large meeting room for the event, I couldn’t help but notice that to go in you had to pass through a portable metal detector device. At the time, I thought … “what the hell is this?” I saw Dees standing off to the side with the most sinister, malevolent look I’d ever seen on the face of a human being. It hit me immediately: this was Dees pretending to fear for his safety from all the non-existent KKKers on campus, and gen up the suckers going in for donations. Lots of blacks students and white professors were going in. I realized then what a complete hustler this guy was. I hope the DOJ buries this collection of maggots.
Stephen Paul Foster: April 26, 2026 I remember about 20 years ago when Morris Dees brought his dog and pony show to my university campus in Ohio… I realized then what a complete hustler this guy was. I hope the DOJ buries this collection of maggots.
Stephen, It was closer to 30 years ago when SPLC co-founder, Sleaze Dees, foolishly showed up to speak at my alma mater, giving us a week’s notice. Beau told me a couple of years ago that I should check out Mo’s divorce papers. I was way ahead of him on that and actually posted his ex-wife’s lawsuit claims against him here on C-C, plus an anecdote about when the SOB dared to show up at NCSU in my hometown where we had a NA Local Unit:
Beau Albrecht: August 9, 2024 Speaking of the $PLC, you should check out the Morris Dees divorce papers one of these days.
—
I’ve been dealing with that sleazebag up close and personal since 1986, Beau.
When he hiked up at my alma mater, NCSU, to give his spiel about fighting “hate,” I showed up and faced him down with a half dozen well-dressed National Alliance members.
I’d made a hundred or so two-sided leaflets. On one side was an unflattering caricature of him and the words, DO YOU WANT THIS MAN TEACHING TOLERANCE TO YOUR KIDS? “Teaching Tolerance” BTW, was a program the SPLC had placed in thousands of American elementary schools. On the other side of the flier was a quote by his ex-to-be, Maureene, from their divorce papers, “Morris kissed Charlie Springman (the Jew queer) on his penis.”
He tried to have me arrested but failed. I asked a female reporter who interviewed me earlier and then had been sitting beside him up front [in the auditorium], to take a flier back down to him and have him autograph it for me. He blew up, crumpled it and turned around to glare at me while a couple of Sheriff’s deputies were keeping me in my seat.
He did not take questions from the audience [after speaking] because I had our members spread around (wearing NCSU’s school colors to blend in). I confronted him at the reception afterward and he blew up and yelled in a very high-pitched voice, “I’m not afraid of this cocksucker.” Fun was had by all and Mo never showed up again on our turf, especially giving a week’s notice ahead of time.
Anyone interested in how men of our race should deal with bottom-feeding scum like Morris Seligman Dees and his allies in media and the “Justice system,” should read my book, Pocahontas Show Trial, available, here: Pocahontas Show Trial by William W. Williams – Cosmotheism
I’m promoting my book here again now that Trump’s DOJ has indicted Dees’s billion dollar, tax-exemp SPLC for fraud this week. There’s a lot of dirt on his hate group in PST including an entire chapter entitled “The SPLC Vows to “Destroy” the National Alliance.”
Dees was fired from the SPLC several years ago: Southern Poverty Law Center fires co-founder Morris Dees Where is this SOB, this darling of Jew-controlled media and fellow attorneys, today? Note: The American Bar Association is the “national voice of the legal profession.
Dees had been welcomed with a standing ovation when he received the ABA Medal, the association’s highest honor, from the ABA House of Delegates in August 2012.
Great story, Will. Thanks.
There’s a lot more to that story, Stephen, but no time or space here to tell it. Bottom line: we did not take any shit off of Dees or his ilk. You will appreciate Dr. Pierce’s account, here: “William Pierce on Lawyers and the SPLC” at nationalvanguard.org ,
Morris Dees, more than any other lawyer, epitomizes what is wrong with our legal system in America today. He helps us to understand why there has been a general feeling among our people, from the time of Plato to the present — a feeling expressed over and over by our writers down through the millennia — that there is something fundamentally unclean about men whose profession it is to make the worse cause seem the better, to use Plato’s words, or to prove that white is black and black is white, according as they are paid, to use Swift’s words. The noble Romans considered such a profession to be un-Roman, and today we consider it to be un-Aryan. Our legal system has become a system of lawyers, run entirely by lawyers, solely for the enrichment of lawyers. It is a malignant system which threatens the freedom of us all and which does not have the will to cure itself. It is because of this that the cure will have to come from outside the legal system and will have to be a very painful cure indeed. Someday, in a new society, we will have to build a new legal system. Let us not make the same mistakes we made — and that the Romans made before us. Let us build a system with adequate safeguards: a system to serve the race, not the lawyers.
Beau Albrecht: April 24, 2026 …Pierce was a straight shooter, and so is Williams today.

Ha! Thank you, Beau… It’s edifying to be recognized for shooting straight, especially by a fellow straight shooter and in the same sentence with William Luther Pierce, who was always on target.
I was looking through an old multi-page topic on our little NA forum, “SPLC is Hate Group” <(181) SPLC is Hate Group – White Biocentrism> and found a long-forgotten article from 12 years ago. It’s astonishing not just for the news last week of DOJ’s indictment of SPLC for fraud, but for the new DOJ warrant against “bad cop” James Comey. The Washington Examiner link is dead now, but fortunately, we captured and archived the article at WB.
FBI drops SPLC & ADL as Legitimate Sources on its Website?
Post by John Flynn » Thu Mar 27, 2014
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which has labeled several Washington, D.C.-based family organizations as “hate groups” for favoring traditional marriage, has been dumped as a “resource” on the FBI’s Hate Crime Web page, a significant rejection of the influential legal group.
The Web page scrubbing, which also included eliminating the Anti-Defamation League, was not announced and came in the last month after 15 family groups pressed Attorney General Eric Holder and FBI Director James Comey to stop endorsing a group — SPLC — that inspired a recent case of domestic terrorism at the Family Research Council.
“We commend the FBI for removing website links to the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization that not only dispenses erroneous data but has been linked to domestic terrorism in federal court. We hope this means the FBI leadership will avoid any kind of partnership with the SPLC,” Tony Perkins, FRC President, told Secrets.
“The Southern Poverty Law Center’s mission to push anti-Christian propaganda is inconsistent with the mission of both the military and the FBI, which is to defend and uphold the Constitution of the United States,” he added.
The Anti-Defamation League, however, was “shocked” by the FBI’s move, made without any notice. It’s work with the FBI has not been questioned.
Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, told Secrets, “We are shocked, surprised and disappointed that this would be done without any consultation with groups such as ours who have been working closely with the Federal Bureau of Investigation on issues of hate crime. We look forward to having further conversations with them on this issue.”
The FBI had no comment and offered no explanation for its decision to end their website’s relationship with the two groups, leaving just four federal links as hate crime “resources.” The SPLC had no comment.
SPLC has been a leading voice against hate crimes, and has singled out evangelical and traditional family groups as advocates of hate against gays. It has even gone after a local official, Loudoun County Supervisor Eugene Delgaudio, who also heads a group that promotes traditional, opposite sex marriage.
In August 2012, a Washington area man guided by the SPLC’s “hate map” that cited FRC, entered the group’s headquarters and shot a security guard. The guard survived and the shooter, a volunteer with a gay group, pleaded guilty to domestic terrorism.
In their letter, the 15 conservative groups argued that the FBI website’s inclusion of SPLC as a resource “played a significant part in bringing about an act of domestic terrorism.” It added, “It is completely inappropriate for the Department of Justice to recommend public reliance on the SPLC hate group lists and data. The links to the SPLC as a FBI ‘Resource’ must be taken down immediately, leaving only official, trustworthy sources listed on the agency’s webpage.”

Arraignment hearing set for Southern
Poverty Law Center in federal court
Caleb Taylor | 04.28.26
An arraignment hearing will be held in federal court in Montgomery on Thursday, May 7, in the Department of Justice’s case against the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).
According to the indictment, starting in the 1980s, the SPLC began operating a covert network of individuals who were either associated with violent and extremist groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan, or who had infiltrated violent extremist groups at the SPLC’s direction. Unbeknownst to donors, some of their donated money was being used to fund the leaders and organizers of racist groups at the same time that the SPLC was denouncing the same groups on its website, according to the DOJ.
Attorneys with the SPLC filed motions on Monday requesting a transcript of grand jury proceedings and a court order requiring Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to retract a “false and unfairly prejudicial statement” he made on Fox News’s The Ingraham Angle shortly after the indictment was announced.
“Well, they communicated when they so chose, with law enforcement over the years. There’s no information that we have that suggests that the money they were paying to these informants and these members of these organizations, they then turned around and shared what they learned with law enforcement. To the contrary, or else we would have known, from their own words, that they had given this money to these guys. And we didn’t know,” Blanche said.
Addy Schmitt, an attorney representing SPLC, said in a filing on Monday, “The Court should exercise its authority to provide the relief necessary to protect the integrity of this proceeding.”
“The defense respectfully seeks an order directing the government to: (1) retract the false and unfairly prejudicial statement that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche made on Fox News regarding the allegations against the SPLC as a pretrial equivalent of a curative jury instruction; and (2) refrain from making any further false or misleading statements about the allegations in the indictment and abide by the rules prohibiting extrajudicial statements that prejudice SPLC’s right to a fair trial,” Schmitt said.

A halfway objective follow-up from attorney Laura Clark at 1819News:
The greatest corruption scandal of the year
Laura G. Clark | 05.01.26
[Graphic:] SPLC’s “hate map” (www.splcenter.org)
It’s been a banner week for news. Between the near-assassination of President Trump and several indictments, it was hard to keep up. But one piece of news that surprised no one was that the biggest funders of racism are Democrats.
If, in recent years, you found yourself thinking, “I am sure racists still exist, but I am also sure that it is a very small group who are barely worth mentioning in the public discourse,” pat yourself on the back because you’re still right. You knew it, I knew it, and apparently, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) knew it, too.
But when you build your entire business model on fighting racism, and you find out that racism is so minor that you can’t make much money fighting it, there’s only one money-making option: create racism.
That is exactly what the SPLC did, according to a recent federal indictment.
The SPLC knowingly solicited donations on the basis that they were going to use the funds to fight racism. Then they turned around and gave that money to the very organizations they claimed to fight, such as the Ku Klux Klan.
This crime is not without a victim. If you remember, the SPLC worked hand in glove with the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ). If the SPLC said a group or person was hateful or on their hate map, that person could be put on a watch list or pursued by the DOJ.
Private companies also listened to the SPLC. Anyone labeled hateful by the group risked deplatforming or demonetization by various social media apps or banks.
Lest you think these victims had it coming for being hate groups, let us recall that those on that list were often just conservatives or Christians. Moms for Liberty, Eagle Forum of Alabama, and Tactical Civics are all on their hate map.
That’s SPLC’s game. They make up racism and hate when the issue is nothing more than political disagreement, then fund actual racism to justify their existence and have something to lump in with the not-actually-hateful groups. All apparently because we must stop the moms fighting to keep their children from being exposed to left-wing ideology or whatever.
Look, we aren’t talking about a little money going to these groups. We’re talking hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars. Anyone who has ever sent money to the SPLC has likely funded the Ku Klux Klan. That includes teachers’ unions. As a shocking new report explains, the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers have been sending money to left-wing causes, including the SPLC. Alabama teachers send part of their paychecks to these people – yet another sign to yank your kids out of public school. No wonder public education is flooded with left-wing indoctrination!
Now the SPLC is attempting to put up a good defense, but having personally seen some of their legal work, let me just say that their defense is as poorly-crafted as the rest of their work. Indeed, their defense depends heavily on the reader not actually thinking. But you, my reader, are the thinking type. So consider these facts.
The SPLC claims that these payments went to confidential informants in return for information on the groups’ activities. Yet the DOJ claims there is no record of this.
Further, the indictment details that the money went to groups as well as individuals. Not only did the SPLC pay a person involved in the infamous Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Va., but they also paid that person to organize the rally and coordinate transportation. That is not informing, that is creating and organizing hate. Recall, for instance, that the Charlottesville riot and Trump’s inaccurately reported comments were one of the biggest weapons used against Trump by Democrats in the 2020 election – all created by the SPLC.
The SPLC claims the Trump administration is just targeting them for political reasons. That’s rich coming from those who have done nothing but target others for political reasons for decades. That aside, the indictment actually reveals that the SPLC was first investigated by the banks, who noticed that the SPLC would wire funds to informants, who in turn would set up bank accounts under fictitious entities, who then wired funds to these hate groups. The bank noticed that these entities were unincorporated businesses with no employees. That, my friends, is called fraud. The banks notified the Biden DOJ, which launched an investigation, but then stopped for no known reason [AH1]. The Trump administration, with the help of Alabama’s attorney general, picked it up from there.
It’s not targeting someone who committed several actual crimes. The SPLC is just mad they got caught, and someone had the balls to prosecute.
The whole affair is shocking, yet at the same time, not shocking. The SPLC will be arraigned next week, and I, for one, am excited to see actual justice done. This is one of the biggest corruption scandals of the year, and I look forward to seeing this factory of fraud brought down.

‘Weak’: DOJ fraud charges against SPLC use an unusual legal theory
Ex-prosecutors say the Justice Department’s case against the Southern Poverty Law Center for using donations to pay informants at hate groups is very atypical.
Aysha Bagchi USA TODAY
May 2, 2026, 7:23 p.m. ET
The Justice Department, headed by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, has indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center on 11 counts alleging wire fraud, money laundering and false statements for using donor money to pay informants inside white‑supremacist groups. Former prosecutors say the legal theory is unusual and may be hard to prove, while the SPLC denies wrongdoing and claims the case is politically motivated.
The Justice Department announced with great fanfare a series of fraud charges against a storied civil rights group that has angered conservatives in recent years. But the unusual nature of the charges could present challenges in court, especially for a department already under fire for targeting the president’s opponents and critics.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche alleged at an April 21 news conference that the Southern Poverty Law Center, a decades-old Alabama nonprofit dedicated to dismantling white supremacy, defrauded donors by using their money to pay informants within white supremacist groups.
“The SPLC was not dismantling these groups,” Blanche said at the news conference. “It was instead manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose by paying sources to stoke racial hatred.”
While the accusations are stark, the evidence presented publicly so far, which is contained in a 14-page indictment, doesn’t make clear that the SPLC intentionally defrauded donors, according to many former prosecutors.
“Paying informants to then dismantle the organization seems like something that people would expect to be one of the tactics that are used, so that seems like a very weak case to me,” Amy Markopoulos, a former federal prosecutor who spent years in the DOJ’s fraud section, told USA TODAY.
What’s more, conservative animus towards the SPLC, which has labeled some prominent conservative groups “extremist,” has heightened concerns that the DOJ may be unfairly targeting the civil rights group in unconstitutional ways.
“This prosecution sends a clear message: If you want to be spared, shut up,” Stacey Young, who was a senior attorney in the civil and civil rights divisions of the Department of Justice for over 18 years, told USA TODAY. Young now runs Justice Connection, which combats what it sees as threats to the rule of law under the Trump administration.
In a statement to USA TODAY, DOJ spokesperson Natalie Baldassarre said the grand jury that indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center on 11 counts only heard a portion of the evidence, and the government remains confident in its case.
“It’s a shame that these former prosecutors aren’t aghast at these allegations of severe fraud, manufactured racism, and abuse of donor dollars,” Baldassarre said when asked about the criticism by the former Justice Department officials.
The SPLC began working with informants to uncover evidence of racist violence such as bombings of Black churches, SPLC interim president and CEO Bryan Fair said in a statement shared with USA TODAY.
Fair said his organization shared information with the FBI over the last 40 years that saved lives, and it strongly denies the criminal allegations.
“The government is blatantly mischaracterizing our efforts to successfully fight hatred and violent extremism, something we have done for decades,” he said. “At one moment, they are appreciating our work in destroying the Klan and now, they are saying the SPLC funded and promoted the Klan.”
‘I’ve never seen anything like it’
Most of the criminal counts against the SPLC involve alleged wire fraud – the main charge emphasized by Blanche at the press conference.
Those counts accuse SPLC of seeking donations to “dismantle” violent extremist groups, without telling donors that some of the donations – more than $3 million over nine years – would be used to pay high-level leaders of such groups to be informants.
The indictment also says donors weren’t told that some donations were used to benefit violent extremist groups and were used in committing state and federal crimes, such as an informant stealing and copying documents from a neo-Nazi group.
But one of the elements of wire fraud – meaning one of the things the DOJ must prove to win its wire fraud case – is that SPLC intended to defraud its donors.
Multiple former prosecutors told USA TODAY the indictment is short on that evidence.
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Kyle Freeny, a former DOJ prosecutor who focused on money laundering and asset recovery.
“My biggest concern about the charge is that it purports to let DOJ decide whether the means by which a nonprofit is pursuing its objectives actually serves those objectives,” Freeny said.
“That is really quite an extraordinary amount of power to give the Department of Justice, especially when we’re talking about nonprofits, whose objectives may be in some cases in tension with the objectives of any given administration,” she said.
Brian Morris, a former federal prosecutor in New York who focused on fraud and money laundering, said nearly all wire fraud prosecutions involve defendants who misappropriate assets for their own personal gain. In those cases, prosecutors often easily find evidence to demonstrate fraud – such as pocketing money or paying for personal items.
The case against SPLC – with the government claiming SPLC siphoned money from anti-extremism donors and then used funds to support extremism – looks very different, he said.
“It’s likely going be much more difficult for the government to succeed under its nuanced theory than in a classic case,” Morris added.
Still, Chad Mizelle, who served as the DOJ’s Trump-appointed chief of staff from January to October 2025, said wire fraud can be committed through a direct lie or through a material misstatement.
“I have a hard time believing that if any corporate donor knew of the activities – of what was actually happening with their donor dollars – that they would have signed off and been okay with it,” Mizelle said.
Allen Mendenhall, an Alabama-based lawyer and research fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation, said complaints about the lack of a deceitful, smoking-gun statement by the SPLC in the indictment ignore that cases are built around behavior, structure, and context, and that the DOJ’s investigation is, according to Blanche, ongoing.
“In real-world fraud cases, especially those involving organizations, misconduct isn’t just one clean, isolated statement. It’s a pattern: how money moves, how things are described publicly, how actions line up with all those descriptions,” Mendenhall said.
“What case is a slam dunk? We’re all kind of in a wait-and-see posture at this point,” he added.
Money laundering
The indictment also charges the SPLC with conspiring to conceal money laundering through how the organization allegedly paid informants – by transferring donated funds to bank accounts in the names of fictitious entities such as “Fox Photography” and “Tech Writers,” and by masking direct payments to informants with similar monikers, according to the court documents.
But the indictment states that the money laundering crime occurred, in part, because there was wire fraud. Several ex-prosecutors told USA TODAY that means if the wire fraud case falls apart, so will the money laundering charge.
“The money laundering allegation is entirely dependent upon there being a viable fraud allegation,” Stefan Cassella, a former federal prosecutor who focused on asset forfeiture and money laundering, told USA TODAY.
False statement charges also face challenges
Multiple ex-prosecutors said a set of remaining false statement charges – which allege the SPLC had an employee claim sole ownership of fictitiously named bank accounts that were used to pay informants – appears stronger.
“You can’t lie to the bank to gain access to the U.S. financial system using fictitious companies that hide your identity,” Morris said.
But even here the prosecution faces potential problems, such as needing to prove the statements were meant to influence the bank’s actions, according to Freeny.
“If the statements were made for another purpose – for the purpose of protecting the informant, so that folks around the informant didn’t know they were receiving money from the Southern Poverty Law Center – that would not, in my view, meet the elements of the offense,” she said.
Legitimate scrutiny or politics?
Some SPLC critics say the allegations of funding extremism are unsurprising given what SPLC has publicly done, including featuring what the critics see as mainstream conservative and Christian groups, such as the late Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA, in reports on hate and extremism. Those moves, critics say, have generated more donations for SPLC and more polarization for the country.
“The Southern Poverty Law Center’s entire business model is predicated on the spread of hatred. If there is no more hatred and hatred’s not spreading, then they have no business model,” Mendenhall told USA TODAY.
But for many liberals, the center’s willingness to sharply criticize Trump administration allies in particular is reason to be skeptical of the case.
SPLC is being prosecuted “simply for having the audacity to call the President’s loyal shock troops who stormed the Capitol on January 6 white nationalists and domestic terrorists,” House Democrats Jamie Raskin, D–Maryland, and Mary Gay Scanlon, D–Pennsylvania, wrote in a joint April 30 letter to DOJ officials seeking documents on the prosecution.
Unfair prosecution?
It’s traditionally very hard to successfully challenge a criminal indictment based on the idea that the defendant has been unjustly targeted. Still, some ex-prosecutors think that kind of challenge – alleging the case is vindictive or that SPLC has been selectively targeted – is on the table here.
Already, Justice Department lawyers have faced those types of challenges in a range of prominent cases since Trump returned to the Oval Office, including when charges were brought against former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and Salvadoran immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Earlier indictments against Comey and James were dismissed for a separate reason, before judges could rule on their vindictive-and-selective prosecution challenges. Comey, who was recently indicted on new charges, plans to again raise that challenge, according to comments his lawyer reportedly made in court April 29. In Abrego Garcia’s case, a federal judge said Oct. 3 that there is a “realistic likelihood of vindictiveness.”
It’s unclear exactly how the investigation into the SPLC arose and unfolded.
“We know that this investigation was opened during the Biden administration and then mysteriously closed,” Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle show. “I really don’t have any information about why it was closed, and then we started again last year.”
The Justice Department declined to comment beyond Blanche’s response about what prompted re-opening the investigation.
But criticisms of the SPLC by administration allies have raised concerns for outsiders. Billionaire Elon Musk, who spent hundreds of millions of dollars helping Trump get elected and played a key role in firing federal workers in mass early in the current administration, has repeatedly complained about the Southern Poverty Law Center on social media.
“The SPLC is an evil organization that spreads hate propaganda relentlessly. It needs to be shut down,” Musk posted on X Oct. 2.
Markopoulos said she expects SPLC will file a challenge that quotes such statements to argue this was a targeted prosecution.
“Those cases are generally really hard to prove, but this may be the environment where (the SPLC is) going to get some judges to really take stock of that,” Markopoulos said.
It’s also possible SPLC will challenge the fairness of the grand jury process that led to the indictment. Already, it’s asking for the transcript of the grand jury proceedings that led to the indictment, saying evidence suggests the grand jury was misled.
That’s an allegation that was already coming up in the previous indictment against Comey, which was dismissed after a judge concluded the prosecutor who secured the indictment was unlawfully appointed.
Before that decision came down, another judge expressed concerns about whether the grand jury that indicted Comey was given accurate information, writing that two statements to the jurors “appear to be fundamental misstatements of the law.” The judge decided Comey should have access to the grand jury materials because potential irregularities could justify dismissing the case.
Mendenhall said looking at other DOJ prosecutions to assess what the DOJ has done in SPLC’s case could be misleading.
“To start picking one case and comparing it to another case and trying to develop some sort of pattern just muddies the waters,” he said. “It distracts from what are actually the facts in this particular case.”

Here’s who is next on Trump’s legal hit list.Trump critic and ex-National Security Adviser John Bolton indicted in documents investigation New York AG Letitia James gives spirited remarks in first appearance since indictment From ‘loyalty’ dinner to indictment, how the Trump-Comey relationship imploded
But Cassella said the Trump administration has opened itself up to questions about the propriety of indictments it brings by expressing that political retribution is a goal.
“That undermines the ability to get a conviction. It undermines your credibility with the public. It undermines your credibility with judges and juries,” Cassella said.
“And that’s the problem the Justice Department has right now, and it’s tragic,” he added.
‘Weak’: Trump DOJ fraud case against SPLC could face hurdles
That USA Today article is very long, but worth reading in its entirety for names and details like this, “[T]hat seems like a very weak case to me,” Amy Markopoulos, a former federal prosecutor who spent years in the DOJ’s fraud section, told USA TODAY.”
Curious as to who owns the typically liberal USA Today, first we found this report:
Gannett, the nation’s largest newspaper publisher which owns USA Today and more than 250 local newspapers from Phoenix to Rochester, is packing up its corporate headquarters in Tysons, Virginia and moving it to New York City.
That is a lot of newspapers! My suspicions were raised. Digging a little further to see who is involved with Gannett, we found this more recent report:
USA Today Owner Gannett Moves HQ from VA to the Theater District
…The original Gannett was taken over for $1.2 billion in November 2019 by New Media Investment Co which already owned Gate House Media which published newspapers in small and mid-sized markets. The combined company, which had over 24,000 employees at the time of the merger, kept the more well known Gannett moniker for the new company.
It undertook deep cuts to staff that prompted some of the papers that were represented by the News Guild union to stage a walkout in June 2023. Jon Schleuss, the president of the NewsGuild, at the time of the walkout said that the company had eliminated 54 percent of the combined workforce of Gannett Co. since its merger with GateHouse Media in 2019.
I’ll leave it to someone else to learn if Mr. Schleuss is a member of the Tribe, or not. I could not confirm, but his arbitrage of Gannett fits the pattern of Jew takeovers, like notorious investor (((Ivan Boesky))).
Boesky died in California in May 2024 at age 87 after spending the latter part of his life mostly out of public view, a stark contrast to his earlier years. The 1980s were fraught with financial fraud, and Boesky was among the first Wall Street traders to go to prison on insider trading charges. Boesky honed his craft that decade in the lucrative arbitrage trading market.
Nicknamed “Ivan the Terrible,” Boesky made over $200 million investing in corporate takeovers and company mergers. In 1985, the SEC charged Boesky with illegally profiting from insider trading by acquiring stocks and futures in companies based on tips from company insiders.
A year later, Boesky was found guilty. Based on a plea agreement that involved Boesky taping phone calls with other insider trading conspirators, including Drexel Burnham Lambert’s junk bond king (((Michael Milken))), Ivan the Terrible was sentenced to three and a half years in prison. He was also slapped with a $100 million fine and ordered never to work in the securities industry again.
Boesky is said to have inspired aspects of the film character Gordon Gekko, portrayed by actor (((Michael Douglas))) in the 1987 movie “Wall Street.”
We’ll see who’s on the wrong side of history, beginning in early October in a federal courtroom in Montgomery, Alabama.

‘Most of what I’ve read has not been correct’:
U.S. Attorney Kevin Davidson slams media
coverage; SPLC pleads not guilty
Caleb Taylor | 05.08.26
MONTGOMERY — The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) was arraigned in federal court and pleaded not guilty on Thursday to all counts of wire fraud, money laundering and making false statements to a federally insured bank.
A Montgomery grand jury returned an indictment in April charging the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) with 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank and money laundering.
The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Alabama Northern Division filed two forfeiture actions to recover alleged proceeds of the organization’s fraud scheme.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) investigated the case with assistance from the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation.
According to the indictment, starting in the 1980s, the SPLC began operating a covert network of individuals who were either associated with violent and extremist groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan, or who had infiltrated violent extremist groups at the SPLC’s direction. Unbeknownst to donors, some of their donated money was being used to fund the leaders and organizers of racist groups at the same time that the SPLC was denouncing the same groups on its website, according to the DOJ.
SPLC interim president and CEO [Negro] Bryan Fair said on Thursday, “The charges against the SPLC are provably wrong; they are based on inaccurate facts and a misapplication of law. Our informant program was successful in accomplishing its purposes: Threats and attacks were prevented, criminal activity was stopped, and information was gathered to dismantle the efforts of hate and extremist groups. There is no question that the information the SPLC shared with law enforcement saved lives.”
“The SPLC is no stranger to legal threats by those on the wrong side of history. In our 55 years, we have faced and prevailed in numerous fights,” Fair said in a statement. “The SPLC will continue to fight white supremacy and various forms of injustice in our mission to build a democracy where we can all live and thrive. We will continue that mission no matter what.”
A trial date has been set for early October in the case.
Acting U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Alabama Kevin Davidson told reporters after the hearing, “It’s good to finally go to court, start the process of seeking justice in this case. We finally have a trial date, and we’ll just see how things progress through the system. We’ll just take the case where the evidence takes us.”
“This case was investigated by the FBI, presented to my office, and then presented to a grand jury, where members of the grand jury found probable cause to indict on the 11 charges. There’s nothing vindictive about this,” Davidson said.
Davidson continued, “To the extent of things I’ve seen in the media since the indictment, most of what I’ve read has not been correct.”
“I don’t have any prior dealings with the Southern Poverty Law Center. There’s nothing vindictive about this prosecution. The way much of the media has described the charges, it is not accurate. I think the charges speak for themselves if you just read the indictment. I’ll leave it at that,” Davidson said.

Will Williams: April 26, 2026 I was tipped to listen to thepoliticalcesspool.org weekly radio show tonight on which guests were Jason Kessler, attorneys Glen Allen, Sam Dickson and a couple of other attorneys, discussing the SPLC indictment… I enjoyed listening to the discussion about the fraud indictment against the goddamned “law center.”
The attorney guests seemed to me to be split on whether or not the case will ever make it to trial in the Alabama Middle District. Glen is the most hopeful and best positioned to carry the fight for us…

There doesn’t appear to be much interest yet by C-Cers in the DOJ’s indictment of the SPLC hate group, though that “law center” has tried to destroy Counter-Currents in the past, like here:

Heidi Beirich wants to eat my lunch.
We must be doing something right. The Southern Poverty Law Center has targeted Counter-Currents for financial destruction. In an article in their Spring 2014 Intelligence Report, the SPLC’s Heidi Beirich reveals that it is actively putting pressure on both Amazon.com, which accounts for a huge percentage of our bookstore sales, and PayPal, which processes a large percentage of our direct sales and donations, to stop doing business with us.

I’ll keep folks here updated since the DOJ indictment claims $1 million dollars-plus were allegedly paid to National Alliance “affiliates.” I’ve been NA Chairman since 2014 so am interested in learning who these affiliates are.

After ‘fighting the SPLC for years,’ AG office opens Deceptive
Trade Practices investigation, issues investigatory subpoena
Apryl Marie Fogel – 1819News.com
05.11.26
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall has issued an investigatory subpoena to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) after opening a civil investigation alleging deceptive fundraising practices under the state’s consumer protection statutes.
In the subpoena from Marshall’s office, Katherine Robertson, chief counsel, deputy Attorney General’s Office of the Alabama attorney general, commands the SPLC to produce the requested documents by Monday, June 1, 2026.
“My Office has been fighting the SPLC for years—whether fighting them to protect minors from transgender medical procedures, fighting them to keep bad guys behind bars, or fighting them to preserve Alabama’s Republican congressional districts,” Marshall said. “We have always suspected that they were monetizing hate and trading on race-baiting, it was just a matter of proving it. Thanks to the U.S. Justice Department’s action to deal with the SPLC, the State’s efforts have now received a shot in the arm. We look forward to learning more about the inner workings of an organization that we have long believed was rotten, but until recently, has been impervious.”
The investigatory subpoena includes the following demands:
Documents disclosing to Alabama donors or prospective donors the SPLC’s use of informants;
Documents identifying the annual donations received from Alabama donors, as well as donors beyond Alabama;
Documents showing annual disbursements of donated funds to informants;
Documents reflecting the percentage of SPLC’s annual budget allocated to informant-related costs; and
Documents showing payments to groups or individuals appearing in the SPLC’s extremist files or hate map.
The State’s action comes on the heels of a federal grand jury’s indictment of the SPLC on charges of wire fraud, false statements, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Alabama’s investigation will seek to determine whether the SPLC’s activity within the state also ran afoul of the State’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act or state laws related to charitable organizations, both of which are enforced by the Attorney General’s Office.
On April 21, a Montgomery grand jury returned an indictment charging the SPLC with 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and money laundering.

Exposed? Florida targets SPLC for allegedly
‘manufacturing’ racism with paid informants
Story by Danielle Shockey
Tampa Free Press
May 4 2026
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has opened a civil investigation into the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), centering on allegations of deceptive fundraising and unfair trade practices.
The state issued a subpoena duces tecum on May 4, 2026, ordering the Alabama-based non-profit to hand over a massive cache of internal documents by May 25. The move marks a significant escalation in tensions between Florida officials and the organization, which is well-known for its “hate map” and tracking of extremist groups.
The investigation focuses on how the SPLC solicits money from Florida donors and whether those funds are being used as advertised. Specifically, the state is looking into an “informant program” mentioned by the SPLC’s own leadership in recent weeks.
“The SPLC raises millions in charitable donations every year, while allegedly paying members and leaders within the very groups it purports to fight,” Attorney General Uthmeier said in a statement. “SPLC appears to be running a deceptive organization that pays informants to manufacture racism on its behalf. If these allegations are true, there will be consequences.”…

‘Look forward to seeing those records’: Marshall touts civil investigation into Southern Poverty Law Center following group’s federal indictment
Austen Shipley -1819News.com -05.13.26
During a Tuesday episode of Mobile radio’s FM Talk 106.5’s “The Jeff Poor Show,” Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall unpacked the State’s newly launched civil investigation into the Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) alleged deceptive fundraising practices.
According to Marshall, the investigation will determine whether the SPLC’s activity within the state ran afoul of the State’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act or state laws related to charitable organizations, both of which are enforced by the Attorney General’s Office…
“This is a continuation of the work that we’ve done with federal partners,” Marshall said. “The Attorney General has consumer protection responsibilities and also has an overlay of oversight on charitable organizations. Along with what my colleague from the state of Florida** is likewise interested in, we’ve issued civil subpoenas to the SPLC, asking for very specific information about paid informants. Who they were connected to, what was the purpose of those dollars, and how that translated into the effort of the SPLC to raise money off of groups that otherwise they were funding.”
He continued, “We look forward to being able to see those records and continuing that investigation and seeing where it takes us.”

Another positive development, though I object to AG Paxton’s lumping our National Alliance in with the KKK and other so-called “violent extremist groups” who may have used illegal SPLC funds to “commit other crimes.”
Nonsense.
NA has for more than 50 years been perfectly legal and has never committed crimes in its advocacy for the preservation of the White race. There is nothing “extreme” in taking that position, if our race is in fact worth preserving.
Texas investigating SPLC for allegedly funding
KKK, extremist groups it opposed
Story by Bob Gambert -WOAI San Antonio
AUSTIN, Texas – Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton** has launched an investigation into the Southern Poverty Law Center to determine if the organization violated state law by using donor funds to secretly pay violent extremist groups it publicly claimed to oppose.
The investigation follows a federal fraud indictment against the SPLC in April 2026. The U.S. Department of Justice under President Donald Trump alleges the Montgomery, Alabama-based organization defrauded its contributors by routing more than $3 million to individuals associated with the Ku Klux Klan and other extremist groups.
According to federal prosecutors, the SPLC used the millions raised from donors to secretly pay leaders of those organizations. While the SPLC has defended the payments by claiming they were intended to secure insider information, investigators suggested some of the funds were instead used by extremists to commit other crimes.
State officials noted that donors were never informed that their financial contributions would be used to support individuals affiliated with the very groups the SPLC explicitly tracks and opposes.
“The radical, woke SPLC was funding the very groups it was claiming to oppose. My office will ensure that the organization is held accountable for its blatant deception,” Paxton said in a statement. “Donors of the SPLC deserve to know if they have been manipulated into supporting a non-profit that gives millions of dollars to the KKK and other groups that they thought they were opposing.”
As part of the inquiry into deceptive donor solicitations, the Texas Office of the Attorney General has issued a Civil Investigative Demand to the organization to examine potential violations of Texas law.

Will Williams: May 15, 2026 I generally do not care about Jew-owned YouTube because it blocks anything related to the National Alliance.

The hearing yesterday was a joke, but shows how utterly divided the House (and country) is on the matter of SPLC’s decades-long “fighting hate” scam:
MUST WATCH: Sparks Fly At Jim Jordan-Led Judiciary Hearing On The Southern Poverty Law Center | P. 1
Go to trial in federal court in Alabama in early October. Nothing will be settled in an evenly divided House Judiciary Committee hearing. It’s not about Christianity or SPLC donors being defrauded. It’s about race: the anti-White SPLC vowing to “destroy” legitimate groups like the National Alliance (NA) whose concern since the early 1970s has been deliberate replacement of the American White majority with a non-White population.
It’s not up to Jewish supremacists Jamie Raskin, Jerry Nadler or other defenders of the “law center” to smear victims of SPLC like NA as “extremist.” As current Chairman of the NA I’m interested to learn at trial who SPLC’s paid informants are who were allegedly paid more than $1 million to destroy our legitimate organization. NA must be compensated as victims of the illegal tax-exempt “civil rights” group’s ill-gotten, nearly billion-dollar endowment to destroy us and others who disagree with them. NA founder, Dr.William Pierce, described SPLC here 30 years ago: “William Pierce on Lawyers and the SPLC” at nationalvanguard.org

Thank you, Brian and 1819, for keeping up with news about criminal and civil charges against the “law center.” Mr. Jackson, a knowledgeable Black man, provides a unique history of the Marxist-based SPLC, but, the SPLC, to my knowledge, has never been opposed to Black racial loyalists, but only to those that advocate for interests of the American White majority.
I and my organization have been on SPLC’s silly “Hate Map” for years. The DOJ’s indictment claims SPLC paid National Alliance “affiliates” more than $1 million to help them “destroy” our organization — not because we are pro-Christian (we’re not), but because we are pro-White.
Will we learn through discovery who these alleged SPLC paid informants are? Alabama and Florida Attorney Generals have joined Trump’s DOJ to force the “law center” to give up their names.

@willwilliams4163
Thank you and 1819 for your continued coverage of the illegal, tax-exempt “law center’s” legal woes. You say “SPLC infiltrated America’s institutions and subtly worked to go against Christians for upholding biblical standards!” Have KKK Christian conservatives really been “violent extremists” since the SPLC was launched in 55 years ago?
Bryan, you say you’re new to the SPLC though it’s headquartered near your home in Montgomery. You aren’t on its “hate map,” but I and the organization I’ve chaired since 2014, the National Alliance, are. I’ve been fighting SPLC corruption since 1986. Neither I nor NA are either Christian or conservative; we are pro-White, that apparently somehow makes us “extreme.” How? We advocate racial separatism, not “supremacy” over anyone.
Tyler, you and I corresponded back in 2020 when you wrote _Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center_. I published my own book in 2020 that details how the SPLC has corrupted the U.S. justice system, _Pocahontas Show Trial : the Wrongful Conviction of an “Unpopular Figure” in West Virginia_. SPLC’s corruption is exposed throughout, with one chapter titled “The SPLC Vows to ‘Destroy’ the National Alliance.” We literally have been victims of SPLC’s smears and barratry for decades. NA founder, Dr. Pierce, exposed the criminals back in the 1990s with “William Pierce on Lawyers and the SPLC ” at nationalvanguard.org
The House Judiciary Committee’s hearing yesterday was a joke with Congressmen Raskin, Nadler and other Democrats, as well as “civil rights” groups; controlled media and “law center” donor reps, defending SPLC, and no one representing their pro-White victims. We’ll see how it goes at trial in early October.

MY second comment under the Christian conservative 1819News.com podcast, taking on the SPLC, podcast (seen above), has also been removed. Why, you might ask?
Could it be that I represent the one misnamed “extremist” group that the DOJ has claimed the SPLC paid its informants/affiliates to corrupt more than any others: over $1 million? Could be.
Or could it be that I say that the National Alliance nor I are Christian or conservative.? I believe it’s the latter with these hard-core, close-minded white Christian conservatives. If so, that doesn’t say much for America’s purported religious liberty.
Either be obedient and close-minded and say you’ve accepted the mythical Jew, Jesus Christ, as your personal savior and are a conservative, or go away. Followers of Counter-Currents should be proud that commentary about the failure of both Christianity and conservatism for our people is allowed, not banned.
“Christianity: The Great Jewish Hoax” at nationalvanguard.org by Thomas Dalton, PhD
AT 2.1 billion people, Christianity is the largest religion on Earth. And yet, not a fraction of a percent of these people understand even the basic facts of their own so-called religion. If they did, they would be utterly appalled. Their entire religion is a fraud; it is based in Jewish lies and Jewish duplicity to an extent that is astonishing. If only Christians knew that they had been duped!…
Or Dr. Johnson’s “Why Conservatives STILL Can’t Win” here at C-C:
The core of [William] Pierce’s argument is that conservatives can’t win because they aren’t really trying. The left play for keeps. They have an overriding goal. They have a world to win. Conservatives are just trying to hold on to the 1950s or the 1980s. Conservatives may fight ferociously from time to time, but they are always playing defense…
This relatively small Montgomery, Alabama-based 1819News.com source has been covering the DOJ vs SPLC case closer and more positively than mainstream media. They hate SPLC, but for the wrong reason: because SPLC started associating Christian conservative groups with a so-called “White supremacists” like the National Alliance.
It turns out 1819 is terminally Christian conservative and wants nothing to do with pro-White groups that the SPLC have victimized for decades — their concern is only for fellow Christian conservatives who’ve been targets of the “law center.”
Interesting twist.

SPLC asks court to dismiss ‘vindictive’ charges by Trump’s DOJ

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) filed a motion in federal court on Tuesday to dismiss the charges against it as “vindictive prosecution.”
The motion argues that the charges brought against the SPLC by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) amount to retaliation.
Citing statements and actions by President Donald Trump, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, other high-ranking DOJ officials and FBI Director Kash Patel, the SPLC argues that the charges against it were brought not because of any criminal activity, but because the SPLC has been critical of the Administration’s policies and has published about extremist views held by administration officials.
“For weeks, we have been arguing against these false allegations levied against the SPLC — an organization that for 55 years has stood as a beacon of hope fighting white supremacy and various forms of injustice to create a multiracial democracy where we can all live and thrive,” Bryan Fair, SPLC interim president and CEO, said. “The government can’t prosecute the SPLC as payback for its protected speech — it violates basic constitutional rights.”
A Montgomery grand jury returned an indictment in April charging the SPLC with 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank and money laundering.
The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Alabama Northern Division filed two forfeiture actions to recover alleged proceeds from the organization’s fraud scheme. The FBI investigated the case with assistance from the Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigation Division.
According to the indictment, starting in the 1980s, the SPLC began operating a covert network of individuals who were either associated with violent and extremist groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan, or who had infiltrated violent extremist groups at the SPLC’s direction. Unbeknownst to donors, some of their donated money was being used to fund the leaders and organizers of racist groups at the same time that the SPLC was denouncing the same groups on its website, according to the DOJ.
The SPLC pleaded not guilty to the charges at a May hearing in federal court in Montgomery. A trial has been set for October.
We can only hope Judge Marks will deny SPLC’s Motion to Dismiss and continue to trial.
Another expected development. Billionaire anti-White Jew George Soros has circulated a petition among “left-leaning” SPLC supporters, defending their beloved civil rights schemers.
‘Trying to silence and erase voices’ — Progressive political
organization starts petition to rescue embattled SPLC

The left-leaning group MoveOn(dot)org has launched a petition challenging state and federal actions taken against the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).
In April, the DOJ announced charges against the SPLC, alleging 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and money laundering.
This month, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall issued an investigatory subpoena to the SPLC after opening a civil investigation alleging deceptive fundraising practices under the state’s consumer protection statutes.
MoveOn(dot)org Civic Action, the non-profit side of the political arm, MoveOn(dot)org Political Action, which funds progressive candidates like U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), recently announced a petition accusing the DOJ of political persecution.
“Civil rights groups like the SPLC are at the forefront of ensuring that everyone in our country can live, love, vote, and exist free from discrimination,” the petition states. “The people involved in these organizations train poll workers, run mutual aid networks, call out discrimination, and defend our right to protest. The Trump administration is trying to silence and erase voices doing this critical work because they are a threat to their authoritarian agenda.”
Thus far, the petition is 1,000 signatures shy of its 20,000-signature goal.
“In America, presidents and their allies should not use their power to go after people they disagree with,” said Joel Payne, Chief Communications Officer at MoveOn Civic Action. “MoveOn members stand firmly against using the power of government to seek political revenge and stand with organizations like SPLC that are being politically targeted by this administration. The SPLC’s work fighting hate and injustice has been invaluable in protecting and strengthening the civil rights of millions.”
That’s ironic. SPLC has “gone after” those of us who disagree with their Jewish anti-White agenda for decades.
