The Trump Department of Justice has indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center for11 counts of fraud,and the indictment reveals a pattern of funding extreme right activities and protesters that some suggest demonstrates that the organization was operating in bad faith for years, smearing and defaming individuals while secretly engaged in promoting some of those same groups and activists behind the scenes.
The DOJ has released and published the full indictment against the SPLC,found here.
The indictment claims SPLC opened accounts in the names of entities like “Center Investigative Agency,” “Fox Photography,” “North West Technologies,” “Tech Writers Group,” and “Rare Books Warehouse,” and used those accounts to move money in ways that concealed the true source and purpose of the funds.
These fake front groups were used as money conduits for the SPLC to raise money from left-wing donors to fund extreme right-wing groups and also fund ‘agent provocateur’ activists who would, it is alleged, urge groups to engage in violent discussions and actions.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told the media: “The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence.”
Leftist former employees of the SPLC are whining at MSNBC that this is just “fake news.”
What the DOJ’s Southern Poverty Law Center indictment is really about
In August of 2017 the Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally was held in Charlottesville, Virginia bringing together free speech advocates and those who wanted to preserve a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee from destruction.
The DOJ indictment shows that the rally was partially planned by a long-time paid SPLC field operative.
The Gateway Pundit has reported, consistently over years, that the mainstream narrative about Charlottesville was consistently wrong.
