The DOJ indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center for wire fraud, money laundering and false statements [Indictment Here], confirms long-held suspicions that Democrat-aligned activist groups have been financing racism, hate mobs and political violence.
For all intents and purposes, the SPLC is a leftist/progressive activist organization who bills itself as anti-racism, yet this same SPLC organization was using cut outs to fund the Ku Klux Klan, the 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) and American Front.
In essence, Democrats funding extremist groups, just so they can label them as right-wing.
For years we have suspected that financing for civic unrest and racist endeavors was coming from the far-left, today’s indictment proves that very point. Democrats fuel chaos and finance the organizations they label as Facist or racist. Democrats funding the Unite the Right chaos in Charlottesville, then Democrats construct a false narrative about Unite the Right supporting republicans. Antifa, Occupy Wall Street, Anarchists, Black Lives Matter, Dream Defenders, etc. etc.
The DOJ indictment identifies the SPLC as one organization doing this: but really, it’s an entire network. Keep digging into this issue, specifically this type of approach, and we will likely find the financial mechanism of most toxic American division – Democrats.
(VIA DOJ) – A Grand Jury in Montgomery, Alabama, today returned an indictment charging the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) with 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment 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 this case with assistance from the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI).
“The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “Using donor money to allegedly profit off Klansmen cannot go unchecked. This Department of Justice will hold the SPLC and every other fraudulent organization operating with the same deceptive playbook accountable. No entity is above the law.”
“The SPLC allegedly engaged in a massive fraud operation to deceive their donors, enrich themselves, and hide their deceptive operations from the public,” said 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. That is illegal – and this is an ongoing investigation against all individuals involved.”
The SPLC is a non-profit organization headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama, whose mission, according to its website during the relevant time period, was to be a “catalyst for racial justice in the South and beyond, working in partnership with communities to dismantle white supremacy, strengthen intersectional movements, and advance the human rights of all people.”
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.
“Donors gave their money believing they were supporting the fight against violent extremism,” said Acting United States Attorney Kevin Davidson. “As alleged, the SPLC instead diverted a portion of those funds to benefit individuals and groups they claimed to oppose. That kind of deception undermines public trust and social cohesion.”
Between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC secretly funneled more than $3 million in donated funds to individuals who were associated with various violent extremist groups including:
-
- 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
According to the indictment, the objective of the scheme and artifice was to obtain money via donations through materially false representations and omissions about what the donated funds would be used for.
In order to covertly pay the individuals, the SPLC opened bank accounts connected to a series of fictitious entities. The covert nature of the accounts allowed the SPLC to disguise the true nature, source, ownership, and control of the fraudulently obtained donated money the SPLC paid the individuals. In order to keep the scheme going, the SPLC made a series of false statements related to the operation of the accounts.
A conviction will result in the forfeiture of financial gains from the alleged illegal activities. (more)
If these groups are using money laundering and wire-fraud to manipulate the American psyche via activist groups, don’t you think these same groups would apply the same approach to manipulating the American psyche via algorithms intended to boost, say, well, Nick Fuentes?
Think about it.
This is the way the Chicago community organizer operated.


SPLC paid the leader of the American Nazi Party — sounds much like ANTIFA being paid to act as “reporters” and “nightly news witnesses” for Nancy Pelosi’s Jan. 6th.
If this case ends up in Myron Thompson’s courtroom, then expect it to be dismissed with prejudice. Old Myron was appointed by Dimmy Carter
The indictment does not actually name any individuals who are or were employees of the SPLC, other than referring to Employee-1 (CFO) and Employee-2 (Director of the Intelligence Project), and “others”. These individuals should be named at some point, not only to face their own criminal charges if appropriate, but also so that the whole country can learn who they are.
The indictments don’t seem that strong. This is a trial for public consumption. Hopefully it will be one of many to alter public perception. Draining their wallets a bit may help too.
Did you read the indictments? They are pretty sound. WTF are you talking about?
Here you go, since you didn’t read it: https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1437146/dl
My public perception doesn’t need to be altered. I’ve known, or at least suspected, for a long time that this bunch of criminals were the exact opposite of what they claimed to be. I hope they go down flaming.
…said Al Capone’s lawyer…
Perhaps
Opinions are like….well, you know…everybody has one.
We are all going to have to wait and see how this shakes out.
Oh, I think we can put Eric Holder right there at the top !!!!!!
His DOJ started it w the Florida situation pre Charleston and George Floyd…
Today, a grand jury in Alabama returned an 11-count indictment charging the Southern Poverty Law Center with wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering.

🚨🤯 HOLY SH*T: Discord’s own transparency reports/safety pages have referenced working with “organizations focused on fighting hate (like the Anti-Defamation League and Southern Poverty Law Center).”
Think Tyler Robinson and Lance Twiggs talking about Charlie on their Discord chat.
SPLC then wrote a hit piece about Charlie on 9/9. One day before he was murdered.

Boom!
I know it’s serious, but this reminds me of Dave Chappelle’s black klansman skit 😆
He was blind and did not know he himself was black iirc. That skit put Chappelle on the map for me. Very much a spoof on nonsense like the SPLC.
Clayton Bigsby, the World’s Only Black White Supremacist – Chappelle’s Show
When it comes to “white supremacism” accusations from leftists, the demand for it, always seems to outstrip the supply.
Well, yeah, it’s why the SPLC was funding people to create it to then rally against it, while saying the hate they funded to create supports conservatives and the right.
That is why the SPLC needs to manufacture it for their consumption.
Well said.

In October 2025, FBI Director Kash Patel severed the bureau’s long-standing intelligence-sharing relationship with the SPLC, calling it a “𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦” that had defamed “𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘴” through its 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘱. The bureau formally stopped relying on the SPLC’s research months before this indictment dropped. (NPR; PBS)

In its 𝘠𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘪𝘯 𝘏𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘌𝘹𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘮 2024 report, the SPLC included a section on Turning Point USA titled “𝘈 𝘊𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘚𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘙𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘪𝘯 2024”. Months later, 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐫𝐤 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐬𝐬∗𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝.
The SPLC didn’t pull the trigger. But after years of labeling Kirk’s organization an extremist threat in the same breath as actual neo-Nazi groups, the SPLC owns a piece of the climate that produced his k!ller. That is exactly what the FBI was warning about when it cut ties.

dont dig too deep though or you might have to indict fbi and cia. . . . . . . . . supporting the (corrupt) institution and all that.
SPLC went after the Babylon Bee
A link to Norm Eisen
This is why I said in the Blanche/Patel presser thread that the type of crime being charged, i.e., fraud, is the most important angle. The discovery in fraud cases lets the DOJ, i.e., Blanche, with the help of Patel, follow the money. You follow the money, you can tie it to State Democracy Defenders…..
This is how the Italian mafia was tracked, and then the IRS tax code was used to bring them down. It’s the tracking part I’m speaking of here because they can use the fraud to untangle the financial connections. I’m not saying they will get them via tax code issues.
Norm Eisen. Is anyone surprised this fool would be involved?
Not a fool but evil!
The SPLC is a favorite “watchdog” group of the FBI, which quotes their research into “violent extremism” all the time. Those groups listed by the federal indictment are likely crawling with paid informants. It is all another rathole down which taxpayer money flows to “put on shows” for the public to make them believe there is no danger on the left greater than these fake ones on the “right.”
This story made my day. What about bringing RICO charges next and going after their money?
The indictment seeks forfeiture of property.
That is not nearly enough.
Please see my comment below.
Now do the NAACP.
And CAIR and ADL.
BRAVO…..
And now you know no serious punishment will ever…ever….result.
Legal Time Wasting is America’s greatest asset…….
Okay, doomer…
We shall see.
People who are framing this as “creating the need for their own existence” are missing a big piece of this. It’s more about subverting than manufacturing. Think of the old communist trick known as Operation Trust. The powers that be are extremely wary of any authentic uncontrolled populist groups rising up, particularly racially conscious white ones. And before anyone gets upset about the word White: I am not a member of any such group, just explaining the mindset and paranoia of our secret overlords. So rather than waiting for such groups to appear organically they manufacture them and then turn them into extremist caricatures to delegitimize them and arrest any moths that gathered to the flame. Rinse, recylce, and repeat.
I am not a member of any group other than Proud to be a Patriot, loving my USA above all other nations. And I am white.
According to the evil SPLC that makes me a White Nationalist.
Is that supposed to be a bad thing?
The ACLU is the next den of demons that needs dismantled.
Good. Now that the DOJ has got their teeth into these crooks, I hope they never let go. Shake ’em until they come apart at the seams!
Hopefully, the DOJ will recover $ via the forfeiture claim and reimburse communities harmed.
They did this to create WWII also. Wall St funded both sides of the Dialectic, Bolshevism-Communism and National Socialism-Nazism.
They are both the same picture!
If the left-right spectrum is defined by more government to less government, then far right is “no government” and far left is totalitarian government.
It is only when you buy into leftist redefinition of words that your ability to understand things or to have reasonable discussion is blocked. Blocking discussions is a left wing tactic.
I’m still waiting for an argument supporting how “far right” becomes totalitarian without actually becoming far left.
Shhhh, Daniel, you are using logic and reasoning…..straight to jail for you.
I’ve heard it explained that the left-right separation is actually a circle. When you get to the extreme left or the extreme right, they meet on the other side. Rhetoric may be a little different but they’re actually the same from an authoritarian/totalitarian point of view. Prime immediate example is the authoritarian redistricting and stealing of five conservative house districts in Virginia yesterday (I voted “NO” but the whole state was outvoted by Fairfax).
So “White Nationalism” was always an agitprop psyop to maintain fealty among the democrat party mass to financial benefit of the DNC leadership. Why not use NGOs to operate the laundering and selective disbursement of funds to inculcate false narratives and street theater deceptions necessary to hoist and perpetuate a “Boogieman” in the public psyche and the public commons for purposes of accelerating funds collected and narratives-for-hire. It was rather effective of distracting away from the apparent syndicate scale election and electoral fraud schemes now emerging into the evidentiary light.
I am not a member of any group other than Proud to be a Patriot, loving my USA above all other nations. And I am white.

These are seriously evil people, equal to the very worst in human history.
Reprobates, all of them. The entire DNC Left media, political and organizational complex is nothing but reprobates.

The only reason we tolerate democrat party evil behavior is because we choose too. This is a good positive indictment but we must have many, many more and frankly, we need to start playing a much smarter game. Unfortunately, we just lost Virginia and did absolutely nothing to stop it.
No offense towards you, but this “we tolerate democrat party evil behavior” is why we are here….it’s not just the Democrat party, it’s both parties. Both. Until we get more of the populace to break the one-sided paradigm, this BS will continue.
The RINO filth are worst than the Democrat filth….
Cowards who stab in the back rather than in the front….
Is Jesse Smollett on the payroll?
FILTHY LIBERALS
In Canada, only the KORANDERTHALS do this.
Several stories of girls getting hijabs ripped off. All fake. They used 11 yr old girls to lie at a press conference.
These are truly Evil people that need to be punished severely.
The Jug eared Kenyan is the root of all of this.
He is a another Dangerous Homosexual muslim communist doing what they do.
SPLC was always part of the con, the perfect example of liberal projection. This is loooong overdue, right on.
Thank You Lord!
It’s about time someone in authority went after SPLC. It is common knowledge that the organization was/is crooked.
This place has long been known as a grift palace.

And the New Yorker is hardly a bastion of patriotism.
Perhaps tangentially what about the Fetterman advice yesterday of Obama going around Congress biweekly to discuss policy with Democrat politicians. The report indicates that Fetterman told Obama ‘I don’t work for you’.
But apparently won’t result in anyone going to jail.
Obama/Biden regime was a cultural-Marxist revolution -one that the herd joined with in glee and self-grandure. Trump-II is the counterrevolution with Americans rejecting the Democrats’ illusions and the Republican pretentions of opposition.
The media will never cover the counterrevolution. The Republicans will try and co-opt it. The Democrat criminal cabal cannot, recover from it.
The value of the indictments may well lie not in convictions, but ripping the layers off – exposing the evil and shattering the illusions.
Wonder how much tax money made its way to SPLC?
It is probably safe to say that even donations to the SPLC were laundered from taxpayers
Rain Hell down on these bastagees….
One of the many issues facing this country is allowing so many groups like this is it’s to easily for approval of a non profit status especially a fake law firm.
THE IRS (THEIRS) and tax codes have allowed groups like this to be approved and their status should be revoked and tax them back to the day they received its designation.
You can bet they funneled tons more than 3 million.
BLM got hundreds of millions and you can bet the missing names from this indictment are very wealthy like the stooges of BLM who did the same things in this indictment.
Manufacture the division and outrage for political gain. This is how they roll. Anyone, and I mean ANYONE still voting Democrat is lost FOREVER.
This is the same model used by Bubba Bullshxx for his ‘The New Economy!’ It’s the Hegelian Dialectic in action. Create problems with one hand, then pretend to fix them with the other, all the while taking freedom and money from citizens.
SPLC has ruined many lives with its commie rat smear tactics. This is long overdue.
Some things never change. Especially peoples fear of facing the ugly reality of American political party machines.
When I was a kid in the very early 60’s, we moved from NYC to Montgomery. My mother, a social Democrat, would tell the story….. she was petrified to move there having learned from the NYC news stories of lynching and racial hatred by whites in South. She was surprised, she’d tell us, how her neighbors would laugh at her perceptions, telling her that it was local Democrats causing the trouble – they knew them all. They told her the KKK wore hoods not to scare everyone but so no one would recognize them as establishment types.
Once my Mom, who was hardly shy, figured it out she went down to re-register as Republican. The registrar told her those books were kept in the safe and she’d have to come back the following week. That went on for months.
They were just following the classic liberal power model.
Create a problem, so you can ask for power to pretend to solve it.
Racism and hate are big business to these demons.
How about adding ActBlue and George Soros and friends to the indictment?
Why is everyone so shocked that a liberal NGO is running a Jussie Smolet?
If this is an honest attempt of digging into this corrupt anti American weapon then many top democrats can be revealed.
KKK member and recruiter Robert Byrd who wrote on Fed Government letterhead sent to all military leadership demanding segregation in the military.
Can you name all those top Democrats including the Auto pen President attended his funeral ?
and killary call Byrd her mentor.
Does anyone remember A.C.O.R.N. well it got planted and turned into the ‘Poisonous Tree’.
ActBlue,MoveOn,Tides Foundation,Open Society,MeToo,Code Pink,BLM,Antifa,DEI,CRT,Carnegie Foundation,Ford Foundation,CAIR,Occupywallstreet and dozens of other poisonous branches……
I got $5 that says not a thing will come of this or any of the stealing and fraud uncovered anywhere. And Virginia will get away with their steal of 9 congressional seats and if we don’t Wolverine up, we will all be in re education camps in three years
What are the odds that the ACLU conducts similar activities ?
Excellent development! Excellent analysis from Sundance!
MAGA.
If convicted the result is only forfeiture of assets?!
No one is even expected to go to jail for this?!
Wouldn’t SPLC lose its NGO status?!
Hmmmm…
Could this be just a crack in the blue wall?
More cracks coming……
Act Blue….FOLLOW THE MONEY!
NO MERCY!
>> A conviction will result in the forfeiture of financial gains from the alleged illegal activities.
This seditious/treasonous criminality should involve SIGNIFICANT jail time … but as usual, no mention of that!
After all, seditious/treasonous criminality by the Left is normal, essentially simply life itself; no big deal.
Let the calls of “homophobia” begin.
I am not surprised that the SPLC might/is doing this sort of thing.
I would not be surprised if some of our friends on the right aren’t doing similar things. I’m thinking about those known as RINO’s.
I consider myself a conservative…neither left nor right.
After working on and around Capitol Hill, once you’ve seen how the sausage is made, it taints your image of the entire institution.
