The Southern Poverty Law Center just got hit with a federal indictment — 11 counts including wire fraud and money laundering. Prosecutors say the SPLC paid millions to informants inside the extremist groups it was warning America about. One informant was even Imperial Wizard of the UKA.
For years they were the FBI’s go-to “hate group” list. Now the DOJ says they were manufacturing racism to justify their $700M+ endowment.
This is the story of how a civil rights law firm became a fear-based fundraising empire.
The SPLC built a massive empire labeling mainstream conservative and Christian groups as “hate”—while raking in hundreds of millions in donations. Follow the money. Follow the agenda. Fear is their business model.
