Revealed: The SPLC Paid "Informants" to Burn Crosses, Paid "White Supremacists" Who Wanted to Quit to Remain

So much racism in America we need billion-dollar leftwing grifter organizations to bribe people to be "racist."

SPLC paid for KKK cross burnings, robes and hoods, recruitment, living expenses, racist merch: explosive indictment

Oh, and an SPLC employee was fucking one of the Cosplay Racists she was paying:

"The SPLC paid F-9 for over 20 years," the superseding indictment noted, also adding that an employee at the SPLC was in a romantic relationship with the field source.

Perfect.

The SPLC is literally in bed with the KKK.

A KKK they're paying to continue to "exist," at least on paper.

A superseding indictment returned by an Alabama grand jury on Tuesday has accused the Southern Poverty Law Center of secretly funneling millions in donations to informants associated with extremist groups such as the KKK, and those funds going towards the making of Klan robes and hoods as well as cross burnings and recruitment.
The newest indictment accuses the organization of funnelling around $4.1 million in donations "to a series of fictitious accounts" that were used to pay "field sources" affiliated with extremist groups between 2014 and 2023. The original indictment from April had alleged around $3 million in funds funneled between that time period, an amount that is now far greater.
...
The indictment stated that donor funds paid to field sources were used to purchase materials for cross burnings and making Ku Klux Klan robes and hoods, attending and hosting extremist group rallies nationwide, creating and growing chapters of extremist groups as well as recruiting new members, making "racist paraphernalia that extremist groups sold at rallies," and paying the living expenses of field sources to allow them to "focus on their extremist groups rather than seeking other employment."

Did they pay anyone for blue button down shirts and khakis?

Hypothesis: Everyone wearing a mask in that photo was paid by the SPLC, through their catspaw, to be there.

"The SPLC actively led donors to believe that their donations would be used to 'dismantle' violent extremist groups. However, the SPLC hid from donors the fact that a portion of their donated funds was being secretly used to support extremist groups and to fund their violent, racist, and extremist activities," the indictment stated. "These activities were of the same nature as the activities about which the SPLC published articles on its website and other forums in an effort to obtain donations."
Prosecutors expanded upon the actions of field sources cited in the original indictment. One of the sources, dubbed "F-9" in the indictment, was allegedly paid over $1.2 million in donor money. The source allegedly infiltrated the National Alliance, a neo-Nazi organization, "at the direction of the SPLC," and helped raise money for the group. He allegedly received funds from the SPLC through a bank account for the fake entity Tech Writers Group.

The SPLC set up ficitious entities to fund these "field sources."

3⃣KKK GETS COLD FEET

F-30 wasn't the only one. F-31 & F-32, KKK members, wanted out in 2010.

The SPLC bribed them to stay in the movement. These Fs used the $ to attend extremist rallies and to gain a leadership role.

SPLC reimbursed them for cross-burning materials.

I'll say it again. These are FBI new recruits, and this is considered a "training mission" to get into the minds of the terrorist that they were charged with hunting down. (kind of a "be the gopher" type deal.) This is why they all look like new-feds and are so incompetent. It is also whey they are so strict about hiding their identity, and whey it has never leaked. Also why no one at FBI (Patel) has come clean, as it was a semi-legitimate and revealing who and what would destroy careers, especially of newbies who didn't know better, and since it was nominally a legitimate training exercise.

16 AI sez:

"The SPLC's public records show they historically raise significant capital, but the organization does not disclose a comprehensive or ranked public list of its largest individual donors.

However, major donors and financial backers frequently highlighted in news reports and disclosures include:
George Soros / Open Society Foundations
George Clooney
Tim Cook
Companies and their philanthropic arms (such as JPMorgan Chase, Pfizer, and Bank of America) have contributed directly or matched employee donations over the years."

After 2010, Democrats were never going to lose power again.

So, they started importing a new electorate at massively increased levels (Obama's border turnaways as deportations game started in 2011), and they shifted from convincing voters to fortifying elections through government grants, upping the patronage game to remarkable levels.

America was never allowed to swing back from the leftward shift in 2008. Not even in 2016 when a Republican president was elected.

The swing back finally began in 2025 when fed grants started getting cut.

50 Funny thing about racism. Used to be about prejudice, bigotry, unequal treatment under the law. Once we nearly fixed that the race hustlers started realizing they'd be out of a job, so they changed the definition to maintain their relevance. Then we find out they've been paying to maintain some thin appearance of the old definition of racism for good measure. It's fascinating and revolting at the same time.

The people on X that are inside Antifa's Signal chats said the order to go home and shut up came out hours after Scott Bessent said they'd start prosecuting the funders of riots. They abandoned tens of thousands of dollars in riot supplies at the facility in New Jersey and haven't been back since.

Acting DNI Bill Pulte has a history of attacking that funding in his time at Federal Housing Finance Agency. Gabbard declassified a bunch of this stuff while she was head of DNI. Pulte walks in with 120 days to do what he needs.

So much hate and racism that the anti- hate groups and 'victims' need to create false scenarios of their own because there isn't enough real hate and racism to go around. Except for anti-white hate and racism. There seems to be plenty of that.

The SPLC indictment uses the magic words "scheme" and "wire fraud" but doesn't say RICO. That's coming, as the indictment shows RICO predicates.

When the indictment turns into a criminal complaint it'll be the start of a sprawling RICO case brought out of Alabama, which is where SPLC is based. Another potentially lager RICO case is being built out of Miami.

SPLC is the first "node." It will expand to include other "nodes" as more grand juries issue indictments. Picture a diagram on a wall with lots of pins and colored string.

Posted by: Chairman LMAO

My current car is a Forrester. So, no.

I made me feel nostalgic for air conditioning, though. My damn thing hasn't had air conditioning for about ten years now. Twice it broke, and twice I had it fixed, and then it broke again and I gave up.

I usually drive with the front windows down in warm weather.

When I worked in software development -- and where the salespeople could make a great annual salary with a single "sale" -- I used to joke that they'd go into a meeting touting our company's automobile product and leave with a deal for an airline product ... and then demand that we just slap some wings on those cars and make them fly.

My favorite tag-line (I should have written a book, but it's hard to beat Yourdan's "Death March: The Complete Software Developer's Guide to Surviving 'Mission Impossible' Projects") was:

It's the oldest existing political Party.

It easily steamrolled the early opposition Parties, until it faced militants Republicans - and they still eventually absorbed that Party in the end.

They were and remain the Party of government and will continue to do so - they just have no opposition at the moment.

212 True story: when my dad was a very little kid, he went with his dad to a car show where one of the companies (Caddy?) was showing off a splashy new option: air conditioning. Not many people had AC in their houses at the time (at least not in NYC), let alone in their cars.

So it was a very big deal. Of course the AC option was staggeringly expensive in a car that was already expensive.

My dad and grandfather get into the car with the AC running. "Oh my god, this is amazing," my grandfather says. "Too bad we'll never be able to afford it."

People didn't expect or even understand back then that tech that costs $100 on launch costs $10 a few years later.

banana Dream, I have a FWP you could solve.

(Sorry for the OT but I don't know when I'll get another chance.)

My niece gets a LOT of packages from UPS, FedEx, etc for her small business.

One day, a UPS package comes with this crazy little toy she didn't order. Inside the box, she finds the manufacturer's packing slip, and it goes to someone else in the city whose name/address aren't faintly my niece's. She contacts that person, who confirms it's her package. After several refusals, she finally gets UPS to pick it back up and re-send it to the proper party, whose name and address she has taped prominently to the outside of the package.

UPS sends it back to my niece.

Just explain this for me, and tell me how to fix it.

The organization itself is probably dead. I don't think it'll be able to recover from this.

However, the part that's going to be the most interesting is how much major donors knew.

If there was organizational knowledge shared with, like, Melinda Gates or someone, about what's going on...what does that do to Melinda?

You're forgetting the fibbies. The percentage of SPLC finks to FBI finks would be a function of relative payments. You'd really have to see the FBi budget vs the SPLC budget to know that ALL of them were SPLC stooges. Given that the FBI had ranked the "right-wing" threat greater than Moose-limb danger, it's >99.9% probability that a bunch of that crowd was on the FBI payroll.

237 Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.

In the 90s I worked in an old high-rise building downtown Oakland that was -- like virtually every other corporate building I ever worked in -- poor at regulating temperature (one area was always too hot, and one too cold).

Anyway, most people brought in space heaters to stay warm in the mornings -- and they were eventually banned because the electric panel fuses kept getting blown.

The other idiocy was you weren't supposed to open your office window (there was a trick to it and I often did) because they didn't want the liability if you decided to jump out the window.

I don't actually work there anymore, back in the 80s 90s in college. But I think what has to happen is return to sender as wrong address. UPS will only ever go with the original shipping direction which has to be wrong. They will keep sending it to the wrong address. The originator has to change that. Or walk it directly to the correct recipient. I hope that helps.

This is the *first time* in Trump's 2nd term a Democrat did not block a Trump nominee!

Antonio Pozos will now be allowed to ADVANCE, as neither Sen. Dave McCormick (R) or Fetterman used their blue slip powers, which effectively allow one senator block a judicial nominee for their state at any time — Punchbowl

Pozos was nominated to the Eastern District of PA.

Now, blue groups are gearing up to run ADS against Fetterman because of this move.

DHS funding, last I heard, is done. An extra $70 billion provided to DHS to cover all the other parts of its functioning that weren't covered in the OBBB (which was mostly ICE enforcement).

Really, this is hugely important, more important than the SAVE Act. SAVE Act passed today wouldn't affect 2026. It can be revisited in early 2026 with a different makeup of senators that doesn't include Mitch, Tillis, Cassidy, or Cornyn. However, secured funding for the largest deportation machine in history through 2029? Making it impossible for Dems to hold it hostage in any way shape or form through either a slim Dem majority in the House or procedural votes?

That's big.

The same applies to any AWD and 4WD vehicles -- which I learned the hard way about 5 years ago.

[Subaru News You Can Use:] "In the early 1990s, facing declining sales, Subaru of America identified lesbians as a lucrative niche demographic, discovering they were four times more likely than average consumers to buy their vehicles. This relationship began with market research in hotspots like Northampton, Massachusetts, and Portland, Oregon, where marketers found that single women—many of whom were lesbians—were drawn to the cars' practicality, reliability, and all-wheel drive capabilities."

Chauvin was convicted, and voting "not guilty" is emotionally different than voting "guilty", so emotional manipulation tactics do not work the same in both directions.

I'm with the defense attorney; the angry, pro-crime protestors are likely to help Karmelo get convicted. Just like Chauvin.

If all the votes are for Frog Lady they should be able to count them a lot faster.

285 billions in Migrant fraud in every state...splc is [funding] the 3k boogieman. fibs are launching kidnapping and entrapment plots.
apparently there are all these govt 'oversight' committees ...what exactly are they over-seeing ? oddly, Oversight are blind to any of the above, but seem to know when *within days* that MY estimated tax payments are off by $74 dollars.

286 I'm with the defense attorney; the angry, pro-crime protestors are likely to help Karmelo get convicted. Just like Chauvin.

287 Regarding the Subaru test drive... were you feeling nostalgic for The Indigo Girls?

288 261 Welp, test drove two cars today, a Mazda CX-5 and a Subaru Forrester. Man, the safety features they have on cars today are freaking amazing.

*******

If by "amazing" you mean wildly stupid and dumbed down, then yes, welp is right. I rent cars a bunch for work travel and spend 15-20 minutes before leaving the rental lot trying to turn off all that garbage. Like the "safety feature" that grabs the wheel and pulls against you because it thinks you're too stupid to steer, or all the lane and braking alerts etc etc. I can drive safely thanks tho.

*****
yes its really out of control and very stressful to drive these things with all the screens and warnings...some even jam on the brakes for you.
i just rent the cargo van anymore.

Is he being truthful about his health? Is he a liar?

SPLC is the first "node." It will expand to include other "nodes" as more grand juries issue indictments. Picture a diagram on a wall with lots of pins and colored string.

Yahbut, their nose is so far up your ass that the seats are uncomfortable.
The mic is always on (whether you set it off or not) , it records how fast you're driving, how hard you brake, and how tight you turn. It records all of this and reports back to the company which then sells that data to insurance companies. It knows where you go and how you got there and how long you stayed. It records that and sends it back to the company who sells the data to who knows who - Homeland Security, the Russian Mafaya , the lawyer for the guy who is suing you, your political opponents?

293 BTW, I'm tired of all the Subaru hate here.
I have friends who are big Xena, Warrior Princess fans, and my wife gets hit on by women with crew cuts and flannel shirts, but my Forester is great. The only thing that can stop it is ground clearance problems. I've steered around Jeeps that were stuck on an uphill road.
It's a secondary vehicle now, but at 256k miles, I've got my money out of it. It never left me stuck or stranded.

294 Haven't had time to read all the comments so if I repeat someone's post, my apologies.

Hopefully this grand jury indictment supports RICO charges against SPLC, so that the slimy organization and every single worm working its evil will get tagged for a few years at Club Fed. Anybody know?

295 I do so much for the SPLC without getting paid.
Can I count my racism volunteer hours as a tax deductible gift to a non profit?
