White leftist a bigger threat to the planet than climate change...
You do realize, the libs on here are the ones who worshipped and believed Greta, a kid with a 9th grade education regarding our climate. They also believed Al Gore knew what he was talking about regarding all of his ridiculous claims. None of which have come true. They never own their radical positions. They are dishonest as hell.

Your dumb, simpleton *** believes the tweets of propaganda bots in the right-wing sewer, because you're a crazy person.

The Charlottesville connection specifically:
Prosecutors allege one informant was a member of the "online leadership chat group" that planned the 2017 Unite the Right rally, attended the rally at the direction of the SPLC, and helped coordinate transportation for several attendees. That person was allegedly paid more than $270,000 over several years. NPR

The SPLC's defense:
The SPLC does not deny paying informants. Interim CEO Bryan Fair said the organization's confidential sources "risked their lives to infiltrate and inform on the activities of our nation's most radical and violent extremist groups," and that the information saved lives. NBC News The SPLC says it is being politically targeted and calls the allegations false.

What is genuinely disputed and context you need
The right-wing framing — that the SPLC funded or organized Charlottesville — goes well beyond what the indictment actually says. There are several important caveats:
  1. Informant ≠ organizer. The indictment says the SPLC paid someone who was in the planning group and helped with logistics. That is a classic law enforcement informant model — the same approach the FBI has used for decades inside organized crime, terrorist cells, and hate groups. The indictment does not allege the SPLC created or directed the rally.
  2. Critically, the indictment does not allege that the funds went directly to the hate groups themselves. CBS News
  3. The indictment offers little to back up Acting AG Blanche's claim that the payments were used to fund crimes by the violent extremist groups. CNN
  4. The fraud charge is about donor transparency, not incitement. Blanche framed the legal theory this way: as a 501(c)(3), the SPLC was required to be honest with donors about how their money was spent, and no fundraising material disclosed that money would go to hate group members. NewsNation That's a real legal question — but it's a disclosure/fraud issue, not a "they caused Charlottesville" issue.
  5. Political context matters. The indictment came at a time when Blanche is under pressure to deliver wins against entities disfavored by President Trump, who was upset that the former AG failed to secure convictions of his political foes. NBC News The SPLC has been a popular target of conservatives who accuse it of unfairly labeling right-wing groups, and the investigation adds to concerns that the DOJ is being used as a political weapon. PBS

Bottom line
The claim that the SPLC funded the Charlottesville rally is an overstatement of what is alleged. The more accurate version is: the SPLC allegedly paid an informant who was involved in planning it — which is a serious allegation, but one with a very different character. Whether that constitutes criminal fraud (or legitimate intelligence-gathering that was poorly disclosed to donors) is now a question for the courts. The SPLC's defense — that this was a standard confidential informant program that saved lives — is a recognized and legally plausible one, even if the concealment from donors and banks is the specific charge.
In short: there is a real story here that deserves scrutiny, but the partisan spin on both sides is getting ahead of the actual facts in the indictment.

You wouldn't know a fact or a source if it bit you in the ***.

BREAKING: DOJ charges the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) with wire fraud, false statements, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

The SPLC secretly funneled $3M+ in donor funds to violent racist extremist groups:

-Ku Klux Klan
-American Nazi Party
-Aryan Nation
-United Klans of America
-Unite the Right
-National Alliance
-National Socialist Movement
-Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club
-American Front

To hide the payments, SPLC allegedly opened bank accounts under fictitious entities to conceal the source and control of donor funds.

Per the indictment: an SPLC field source was a member of the online leadership chat group that planned the 2017 "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville — made racist postings under SPLC supervision and helped coordinate transportation to the event.

FBI Director Kash Patel: "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."

Acting AG Todd Blanche: "The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence. Using donor money to allegedly profit off Klansmen cannot go unchecked."

Scheme allegedly ran 2014–2023.

FBI calls it an ongoing investigation.

Insane!!!

TG: Where are you going with these posts, dude?! Are you operating under the impression that we liberals would be unhappy that the DOJ is going after a group that secretly funnels taxpayer dollars to groups like the KKK, the American Nazi Party, Aryan Nations, and (love this name) the "Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club?" Those clubs are Donald Trump's homies, not liberals' homies. You know, "Stand Back and Stand Down" "There are very fine people on both sides," etc. I'm happy to read about this.

The history of the SPLC suggests that the whole story about it now funneling money to violent racist groups is very suspect, but if it is true, I would applaud the DOJ for going after the SPLC.

What's going on here is they are trying to protect their white supremacist base by going after the groups that monitor them. That's the upside world we live in now.
I think that's the main thing. But would it surprise you to learn that one or more of the SPLC's informants learned something about certain connections to people in this current administration?

"But now, as part of the project to undo Reconstruction, the Department of Justice hopes to take out the SPLC using the very tools that group used to defeat the KKK.

And along the way, they can exculpate every violent bigot who ever swung a tiki torch with murder in his eyes. *Those boys weren’t bad, they were just stirred up by outside agitators from the SPLC!*"

No doubt he should follow the lead of (No)Private(s) Hotturd and just storm into places, yell insults like he's a madman, try to claim stolen valor and then duck out ... now THAT is honorable.

Welp another conspiracy theory down the tubes.

This must be that good kind of DEI.



And Fatpiggy doesn't even realize this is from 2019 and is new or new information.

Also, you continue to show vast ignorance about what DEI means and is. You won't read this though since, in spite of your posts claiming that it's important to discuss topics with people you disagree with, you blocked me, someone you disagree with.

Also, you are still a weak b*tch who didn't pay off a bet and instead changed his name. And as you stated earlier, apparently had to be investigated for illegal SEC practices so I don't think you are a great resource for much of anything

Well there you have it folks! I just learned from this tweet showing a piece of notebook paper and piggy's very helpful framing, that if an organization, or this dude, does a population study, it's a sinister plot to turn our country brown. The next thing you know we'll be required to wear rainbow hoods!
