SPLC – The Racial Arsonist Fundraised Off The Fire
"He offered an analogy he said is not perfect but captures the essential fraud: it is like taking your car to a mechanic for a state inspection, being told something is broken and being charged to fix it, without being told the mechanic broke it himself. SPLC allegedly created or supported the very hate it was fundraising to combat, did not disclose that to donors, and pocketed the contributions.
"I have been doing numerous interviews about the recent DOJ indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for alleged fraud, money laundering, wire fraud, and lying to banks regarding its funding of certain individuals leading or organizing KKK and Neo-Nazi groups and events. This included the “Unite the Right” tiki torch rally in Charlottesville in 2017.
"The gravamen of the Indictment is that SPLC presented itself to donors as fighting these groups when it was in bed with them, and in the course of that fraud committed several crimes.
"I’ve been writing about SPLC since 2009, so I’m something of an ‘expert’ on its shenanigans. Among other things, I covered how SPLC had a KKK group (2010) and Neo-Nazi group (2012) on their Hate Map for Rhode Island despite those supposed groups having no real-world presence when I investigated and wrote about it at the time. With the addition of inflating the number of hate groups by treating each “branch” as a separate group and counting branches that appeared to be nothing more than blips on a website somewhere, SPLC arguably was a fundraising scam.
