The Southern Poverty Law Center Discovers That Fighting Extremism Can Be Extremely Profitable

Heidi Beirich

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has spent decades warning Americans about the terrifying threat of extremism. It has compiled hate maps, labeled conservative organizations as hate groups, and portrayed itself as one of the nation's great guardians against the forces of intolerance.

Now, according to federal prosecutors, the SPLC has found an innovative way to fight extremism: allegedly give millions of dollars to extremists. It's kind of reminiscent of the auto glass store owner sneaking around the neighborhood breaking car windows. It's great for business.

On April 21, 2026, a federal grand jury in Montgomery, Alabama, indicted the SPLC on 11 counts involving wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering. A superseding indictment followed in June, with additional developments in August.

Prosecutors allege that the SPLC secretly diverted more than $4 million in donor funds to informants associated with extremist organizations, including the Ku Klux Klan, Aryan Nations, National Alliance, and National Socialist Movement.

Some of that money allegedly helped fund such wholesome anti-hate activities as recruiting members, purchasing KKK robes, and acquiring materials for cross-burnings.

Apparently, the SPLC's definition of "fighting hate" comes with a rather generous expense account for the hate groups that give them credibility for their own existence.

The alleged operation also reportedly involved a collection of shell accounts established under wonderfully ordinary names such as "Fox Photography," "Rare Books Warehouse," and "Tech Writers Group." Having a mysterious bank account belonging to a fake photography company is about as transparent as a brick wall.

Federal prosecutors contend that donors were led to believe their money was being used to combat extremism, rather than quietly financing people inside extremist organizations.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel have described the allegations as a scheme involving the "manufacturing racism."

Which raises an uncomfortable question for the SPLC: If you are allegedly paying extremists to manufacture the very material you use to warn people about extremism, are you fighting the fire, or operating the fire department?

The controversy became even more awkward on August 12, when former SPLC Intelligence Project director Heidi Beirich was charged in a superseding indictment. Prosecutors allege she oversaw payments to informants and had a romantic relationship with one key source, identified as "F-9," who was linked to the neo-Nazi National Alliance.

According to prosecutors, fraulein Beirich and the informant shared a home and joint bank accounts, with roughly $140,000 in SPLC donor money allegedly flowing into those accounts between 2015 and 2021. Prosecutors say the informant received approximately $1.2 million from the SPLC over the years.

That certainly gives "donating to the cause" a rather different meaning.

The SPLC denies wrongdoing. Of course it does. It has pleaded not guilty and insists that the prosecution is politically motivated retaliation by the Trump administration for its civil rights work and hate-group designations. In fact, they believe Trump is controlling the entire planet and his next move might be the moon.

The organization says its informant program was a legitimate intelligence operation that gathered information, reported threats to law enforcement, and "saved lives." On the contrary, the organization has created racial divide and may have even contributed to racial violence.

The SPLC also says the case "will not shake our resolve."

Fair enough. Federal indictments apparently do not shake the resolve of an organization that has spent years telling everyone else they should be shaken.

On August 7, U.S. District Judge Emily C. Marks rejected the SPLC's attempt to have the case dismissed on grounds of vindictive prosecution, finding insufficient evidence of prosecutorial animus connected to the decision to charge the organization.

So for the moment, the SPLC's preferred explanation remains political persecution, while prosecutors' preferred explanation remains fraud.

It is an unusually stark disagreement over what happened to millions of dollars.

The irony is difficult to miss. The SPLC has built an enormous public reputation by warning Americans about organizations it considers dangerous. It has helped create a culture in which being placed on an SPLC list can carry enormous reputational consequences.

Yet now the organization itself stands accused of secretly funneling millions of dollars to people connected to some of the very extremist groups it publicly condemns, and one of the organization's leaders has allegedly 'slept with the enemy.'

And this is hardly the first controversy to land on the SPLC's doorstep. 

In 2019, co-founder Morris Dees was fired amid allegations involving workplace misconduct, racism, and sexism. The organization has also faced years of criticism over its practice of labeling mainstream conservative and religious organizations as "hate groups." The only serial haters seems to be the SPLC.

The SPLC has always maintained that its classifications are necessary to expose dangerous extremism, but this turned out to be balderdash [aka BS].

Now prosecutors are asking a rather inconvenient question: What happens when the organization doing the exposing allegedly becomes part of the story?

The SPLC insists it was conducting undercover intelligence work, but the FBI was unable to find evidence of intelligence among the leadership.

Critics see something much darker: an organization allegedly financing the extremists whose existence helps justify the organization's fundraising, influence, and political relevance. In other words, their entire existence.

If the allegations are proven, the Southern Poverty Law Center may have achieved something remarkably efficient. It allegedly found a way to fight extremism, fund extremism, identify extremism, fundraise off extremism, and then blame conservatives for noticing.

That is not merely a hate map.

That is a business model.

"Moderate" Governor Hires Anti-Catholic FBI Agent to Reform Prisons

Virginia’s self-styled “moderate” governor, Abigail Spanberger, has made another bold statement about moderation. She has handed the co-chairmanship of her new Community Partnership Council on Corrections to Stanley Meador, the former FBI special agent in charge in Richmond who presided over the now-retracted 2023 memo that treated traditionalist Catholics as a fresh domestic-terrorism opportunity.

The council, Spanberger announced, will advance “safety reforms by hearing directly from [corrections] staff, incarcerated individuals, and communities across Virginia” on reentry, public accountability, and “conditions of confinement.” It will create “a permanent, structured forum for dialogue and action on the issues that matter most” so that the governor’s reforms “take root, and build a foundation for Virginia long after I am no longer in this office.”

Many things, she added, are “systemically wrong” with the state’s prisons. Meador is the man for the job. While he ran the Richmond field office, the FBI produced an internal document titled “Interest of Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists in Radical-Traditionalist Catholic Ideology Almost Certainly Presents New Mitigation Opportunities.” The memo proposed keeping an eye on Catholic churches in Virginia and drew its analytical horsepower from the Southern Poverty Law Center, an outfit now facing wire-fraud charges for its long practice of labeling conservative Christians as extremists.

The memo leaked. The FBI yanked it back.

Bishop Barry Knestout of Richmond called it a “threat to religious liberty.” Then-Attorney General Merrick Garland told the Senate Judiciary Committee it was “appalling. It’s appalling. I’m in complete agreement with you.” FBI Director Christopher Wray told the House Judiciary Committee he had been “aghast” and ordered the thing withdrawn the moment he saw it.

The Justice Department inspector general later concluded the memo failed basic analytic standards and lacked sufficient evidence. Meador met with diocesan leaders and expressed regret for the “negative attention.” He did not, however, express regret for the memo itself. When one of his own subordinates apologized for having helped draft the document, Meador replied in an email: “No apology needed. I’m glad you are on the team and thankful for your commitment. Keep that head up, this too shall pass. Will make for a great chapter in your memoirs some day!”

That is the fellow Spanberger has now placed in a position to shape prison policy by listening to “incarcerated individuals.” The same administration that once worried traditional Catholics might radicalize has decided the urgent task is to give convicted criminals a structured forum in which to explain what is “systemically wrong” with their living arrangements.

Spanberger billed herself as a moderate on the campaign trail. Since taking office she has stocked her administration with a former Obama adviser who favored masking two-year-olds and mandatory COVID shots, a trans activist, and an advocate tied to a Soros-funded criminal-justice group. Appointing the man who ran the Richmond office during the Catholic memo was apparently just the next logical step in that program of moderation.Virginia’s prisons have recently featured MS-13 gang members, here illegally and already convicted of violent crimes including murder, stabbing three corrections officers.

At Red Onion State Prison, inmates set themselves on fire; the Department of Corrections said there was “no evidence” this was a protest and that the prisoners were simply trying to get moved.

Spanberger’s council will address these matters through dialogue, visitation-hour extensions, and a one-page code of ethics that instructs staff to “Do the Right Thing” and embrace a “People First” culture.The governor reports that her administration has already “immediately actioned” about 85 percent of the concerns raised by advocacy groups. She also cites a 56 percent drop in serious inmate-on-staff assaults and a 47 percent drop in confirmed overdoses. Other numbers, she notes, reflect how staff handle prisoners rather than any actual reduction in violence.

Meador was placed on leave and removed from the FBI in June 2025. CatholicVote national political director Logan Church observed that Spanberger’s decision to elevate him “tells every Catholic in America that violating our civil liberties isn’t a problem, it’s a pathway to advancement.” In the world of contemporary Democratic moderation, that is apparently high praise.

SPLC Official Secreted Money to Her Neo-Nazi Lover

The Southern Poverty Law Center’s legal case just got a lot juicier after it was revealed that one of the organization’s leaders had a sexual relationship with an individual who belonged to a neo-Nazi group. She is now under scrutiny for allegedly helping to pay her lover $1.2 million in donor money, according to The New York Post.

The Department of Justice filed a superseding indictment against the SPLC accusing it of funneling donor cash to hate groups they were then telling donors they were fighting. It's like a fireman setting fires so he'd have the chance to put out fires.

One figure, referred to as “Employee-2” in the indictment, is described as a “person who would become Director of the SPLC’s Intelligence Project.”

It also describes how “Employee-2” wrote an article based on material stolen from National Alliance headquarters in 2014 and then paid off an informant to take the blame for the robbery.

Based on the details in the June 2 superseding indictment, “Employee-2” is believed to be Heidi Beirich, a 58-year-old fascism expert who was the director of intelligence at the Alabama-based anti-extremism nonprofit between 2012 and 2019.The indictment alleges Beirich was very close to the informant known only as “F-9” who “infiltrated the neo-Nazi organization National Alliance.”

“[Beirich] was also in a romantic relationship with F-9. During this relationship, [Beirich] and F-9 shared a house and two bank accounts,” the indictment alleges.

“Between 2015 and 2021, approximately $140,000 in donors’ money flowed from the SPLC operating account … and was ultimately deposited into the joint bank accounts held by F-9 and [Beirich].”

The indictment alleges that while the SPLC was paying the informant, he was raising money for the National Alliance. Beirich and the informant allegedly used the money to pay for personal expenses as well.

One of the SPLC’s sources broke into the National Alliance’s buildings, stole a number of documents, and took them out of town to make copies. The individual later returned the originals. The indictment claims the SPLC tried to conceal their informant’s identity by paying another informant to confess to the robbery.

Beirich used the information to write a report about the organization.

The National Alliance chairman William White Williams told the Post that some of the informants wanted to leave the organization and went to the SPLC for this purpose. However, the organization persuaded them to remain with the alliance and “get paid.”

The SPLC’s funding for informants took on a variety of forms. It paid white nationalists and Ku Klux Klan members thousands to spend on cross burnings and other activities.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is facing a slew of charges for allegedly defrauding donors. Prosecutors say the organization covertly paid more than three million dollars to informants in hate groups between 2014 and 2023. The organization allegedly failed to inform donors that they were using the money for this purpose.

The payments were concealed through shell companies and fake bank accounts, the Justice Department noted. The indictment includes eleven counts of wire fraud, bank fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the organization was “doing the exact opposite of what it told its donors it was doing, not dismantling extremism, but funding it.”

In a shocking twist that surprises exactly no one who has followed the SPLC's long career of smearing grandmas who pray at abortion clinics as "hate groups" while raking in millions, it turns out the fearless Nazi-hunters were actually running a cozy little dating service for domestic terrorists. Nothing says "fighting extremism" like using donor cash to keep your boyfriend's neo-Nazi group flush with cash for whatever wholesome activities they had planned.

Who could have guessed that the group that labels everyone to the right of Bernie Sanders a dangerous bigot would end up in bed, literally, with the very monsters they claim keep them up at night? The SPLC: still the gold standard for turning tolerance into a six-figure grift.

SPLC CEO Suddenly Develops Deep Respect For Attorney-Client Privilege After Jim Jordan Starts Asking Questions

The Southern Poverty Law Center’s interim president and CEO discovered Tuesday that the English language apparently contains no suitable words for “no” after House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan began asking inconvenient questions about the organization’s alleged extremist infiltration program.

Bryan Fair spent most of the hearing performing what legal experts are calling “Olympic-level verbal dodgeball,” repeatedly responding with some variation of “our counsel in the Middle District of Alabama will address that allegation” anytime Jordan asked whether the SPLC had, hypothetically speaking, funded activities that sounded suspiciously like the plot of a rejected FBI screenplay.

Jordan walked Fair through allegations laid out in a superseding federal indictment claiming the SPLC used donor cash to bankroll confidential “field sources” embedded in extremist groups. According to the indictment, those operatives allegedly did far more than quietly observe. They reportedly hosted rallies, expanded hate group chapters, recruited members, and even purchased materials for cross burnings. Because apparently “monitoring extremism” now comes with an event planning budget.

Fair declined to directly deny any of it.

“It seems to me if the answer is no, you could just say no,” Jordan told Fair after the latest round of interpretive legal theater.

Fair responded with the now-classic Washington defense strategy of saying absolutely nothing while using the maximum number of syllables possible.

The hearing became even more entertaining when Jordan rattled off a list of alleged shell companies with names sounding less like legitimate businesses and more like aliases used by cartoon villains trying to evade IRS audits: Fox Photography, North West Technologies, Tech Writers Group, Rare Books Warehouse, Imagery Ink, J&J Electronics, Center Investigative Agency, and Kelly’s Marine.

Jordan suggested the companies may have been used to funnel roughly $4 million to field operatives while conveniently obscuring the paper trail. Fair insisted any knowledge he had came through privileged conversations with attorneys, which critics noted is an impressive amount of legal confidentiality for someone who supposedly runs the organization.

Then came the awkward moment.

Jordan asked whether SPLC fundraising surged after the 2017 Charlottesville rally, where the indictment alleges one SPLC-paid source helped coordinate transportation for participants. Fair admitted donations skyrocketed, but quickly credited Donald Trump’s 2016 victory instead. Jordan pointed out the group’s fundraising reportedly exploded from $51 million to $133 million in a single year, which observers noted is quite the financial growth strategy for an organization dedicated to “fighting hate.”

Fair eventually volunteered one clear statement, explaining the program existed “to protect our staff and to protect the public.”

Americans everywhere breathed a sigh of relief knowing the safest way to fight extremism is apparently to organize it personally.

Jordan closed the hearing with one final question, asking Fair whether he knew the president of the National Socialist Party.

Fair responded exactly as viewers expected: “That’s an allegation in the indictment that will be responded to by counsel.”

At press time, SPLC officials were reportedly considering rebranding the organization as “Lawyers Without Direct Answers.”

Southern Poverty Law Center up to its eyeballs in legal stuff

U.S. Attorney's Office, Middle District of Alabama reported that between 2014 and 2023, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) secretly funneled more than $3 million in donated funds to individuals who were associated with various violent extremist groups including the Ku Klux Klan and National Socialist Party of America (American Nazi Party). 

And you wonder why they always attacked conservatives and supported leftists.

A Grand Jury in Montgomery, Alabama, today returned an indictment charging the 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 FBI investigated this case with assistance from the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI).

An indictment is merely an allegation of course, and all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

“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.” [Not to include Republicans, conservatives and anyone who even thought of voting for President Trump.]

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.”

"Today’s indictment reflects that no one, no organization, is above the law,” said Special Agent in Charge Sara J. Jones with the FBI-Mobile Field Office. “Charitable donors deserve transparency about how their contributions will be used, and those who betray that trust through concealment and fraudulent means must be held accountable. The alleged fraudulent activities of the Southern Poverty Law Center sowed hate-filled discord and spurred criminal conduct as set forth in the indictment. The FBI will continue to work tirelessly to protect the American public from financial crimes and to pursue justice against those who violate public trust."

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.

Holy hypocrisy Bat Person!

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.Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel made the announcement in Washington.

The details contained in the civil forfeiture complaint are allegations only, but c'mon, this has been going on since bell bottoms were in vogue. Time to close them down.

Biden FBI spied on pro-life Catholics, calling them "violent extremists"

Joe Biden: Cafeteria Catholic and Fake President

Man, oh man, the Biden-era FBI really went all-in on playing Big Brother with Catholics, and the House Judiciary Committee just dropped a bombshell report on July 22 that lays it all out. We're talking way more federal law enforcement muscle thrown at surveilling Catholics than anyone thought, and the FBI didn't exactly come clean to Congress about it. Shocker, right?

The report, titled "Report: How the Biden-Wray FBI Manufactured a False Narrative of Catholic Americans as Violent Extremists," rips the lid off documents that flat-out contradict former FBI Director Christopher Wray's fantasy claim that the 2023 Richard memo was just a one-off oopsie. You remember that memo from the FBI’s Richmond Field Office, the one that slapped the label "racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists" on "radical traditionalist Catholics." 

Yeah, that one. Apparently, it wasn't some rogue agent's bad day at the office.

According to a July 22 press release from the committee, new FBI Director Kash Patel handed over a whopping 1,300 pages of internal docs that spell out how the Biden administration's FBI went full Stasi on Catholics. We're talking surveillance operations that would make your skin crawl. 

Here is where it gets really gross: back in 2023, the Richmond office zeroed in on a Catholic priest from the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), a group Rome calls "irregular canonical," just because he wouldn't snitch on a parishioner the feds were sniffing around. 

So, what did the FBI do? They opened an "investigative assessment" on him. They teamed up with the Louisville Field Office and even the London Office to track his every move, where he was, where he was going, even his credit card receipts.

They even tried to weasel around priest-penitent privilege, claiming it didn't count because the parishioner hadn't been baptized or finished catechism. The committee's press release called that excuse "faulty," and I'm being polite when I say that’s putting it mildly.

It gets worse. 

The FBI analysts who cooked up that Richard memo leaned on straight-up anti-Catholic garbage for their alleged "research." We're talking sources like the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which, let’s be real, isn’t exactly a beacon of objectivity nor has anything to do with poverty. 

The FBI confessed to using eight open-source articles, with charming titles like "Catholics are leaders and even founders of the most dangerous neo-Nazi groups in existence," "White Nationalists Get Religion: On the Far-Right Fringe, Catholics and Racists Forge a Movement," and "Traditional Catholics and White Nationalist 'Gropers' Forge a New Far-Right Youth Movement."

Not very subtle. The committee's investigators weren't having it, pointing out these sources scream bias against Catholics who actually take their faith seriously.

And of course, there’s more. 

A separate FBI memo was already floating around, warning that the SSPX was out to "recruit and radicalize white supremacists." Plus, the term “radical traditionalist Catholic” pops up in FBI docs from 2009 all the way to 2023. This wasn't a one-time thing, it’s a pattern.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, (R-IA), already spilled some tea back in June, saying the Richard memo hit at least four field offices and reached over 1,000 FBI personnel. He also flagged 13 other documents and five attachments dripping with anti-Catholic rhetoric. 

The committee is still digging, and they're not letting up. With Patel promising to keep the books open, they're vowing to keep pushing for "legislative reforms to protect American’s religious liberties from government overreach." Good luck finding a bigger red flag than the Biden FBI treating Catholics like they're the next al-Qaeda.

And all along, Biden pretended to be a Catholic.

Hey fellow patriots, if you enjoy my content, I hope you'll consider supporting Brain Flushings with a small donation to Buy Me a Coffee. It keeps me going and fuels my late-night writing sessions with fresh ideas. Let's keep the good vibes brewing!

SPLC lawyer charged as terrorist after Atlanta riot: the organization bad-mouths the cops

A leftist staff lawyer for the leftist organization Southern Poverty Law Center, which dubs itself as a civil rights group [except when it comes to Christians, police, and straight White men, which they label as "hate groups"] was arrested Sunday on terrorism charges. 

The lawyer, Thomas Webb Jurgens, took part in terrorism acts by throwing rocks, Molotov cocktails, and shooting fireworks at police at a training center outside of Atlanta, Georgia.

According to DeKalb County Jail records, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation arrested Jurgens, a 6-foot male with brown hair and brown eyes, on Sunday, March 5. Webb faces one charge of “domestic terrorism.”

DeKalb County Jail record for Thomas Webb Jurgens [below]:

According to his LinkedIn bio, Jurgens worked at the Southern Poverty Law Center since 2021 after graduating from the University of Georgia School of law in 2019.

Jurgens appears as a member in good standing on the website of the State Bar of Georgia, but if convicted of domestic terrorism, this may affect his good standing.

Authorities detained 35 people Sunday, charging 23 with domestic terrorism, following the riot. Jurgens’ name appears on the list.

“On March 5, 2023, a group of violent agitators used the cover of a peaceful protest of the proposed Atlanta Public Safety Training Center to conduct a coordinated attack on construction equipment and police officers,” Atlanta police reported Sunday. “They changed into black clothing and entered the construction area and began to throw large rocks, bricks, Molotov cocktails, and fireworks at police officers.”

Thomas Jurgens

According to police, the terrorists “destroyed multiple pieces of construction equipment by fire and vandalism.”

“The illegal actions of the agitators could have resulted in bodily harm,” police added. “Officers exercised restraint and used nonlethal enforcement to conduct arrests.”

On Tuesday, a judge granted Jurgens bond for the terrorism charge regarding "Cop City."

Jurgens and one other suspect claims to have been a legal observer on behalf of the National Lawyers Guild. 

Prosecutors say the crowd was dressed in camouflage or dark clothing and some carried homemade metal shields. Jurgens' lawyer told the judge that his client was wearing a bright yellow hat with National Lawyers Guild written on it and a bright green shirt.

Though the state contends, "simply because you’re an attorney doesn’t mean you can’t commit a crime," a prosecutor said they would consent to bond for Jurgens at this time.

Judge AW Davis granted Jurgens’ bond, setting the amount at $5,000.

Jurgens’s attorney did say his client intended to post that amount and waived a preliminary hearing.

Davis denied bond for about a dozen other defendants as Tuesday’s hearing continued.

So what did the SPLC, a group that has labeled conservative and Christian organizations as "hate groups" do? They spoke out against the police--the victims in this case--exposing their political bias in a public press release, calling the law enforcement response as 'heavy handed.'

Like the "mostly peaceful" demonstrations, which were riots by any standard, the SPLC has made themselves obvious as to where they stand. Burning down machinery equipment, throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails at police should not be responded to with defensive force, which is what the police used. Maybe if the police used social workers, they could reason with the domestic terrorists.

Maybe the SPLC has rainbows shooting out of its nether regions.

The SPLC press release proves that they are anything but neutral.

It's time to get fed up and do something.

Biden nominee believes non-citizens can also vote if they vote Democratic

"And I handed him the pizza and told him, 'hey, this one's on me.' Then I got into
my 18-wheeler pizza delivery truck and drove off. It's how I roll; I'm serious."

President Biden's judicial nominee believes that people should not have to show proof of citizenship in order to vote for the next president, especially if they are from a demographic that typically votes the Democratic Party line because to thwart their freedom would be "voter suppression." But technically speaking, it would instead be "illegitimate voter elimination," not suppression, because the latter term implies that a person's right to vote is being thwarted.

You cannot get more left-wing than someone with close ties to the ACLU and Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and that's who Biden has nominated to be a federal judge. Her name is Nancy Gbana Abudu and she has argued that photo ID and proof of citizenship constitute "voter suppression."

Evidently, Abudu believes that minorities don't have the ability to present proof of who they are and whether they are American citizens. They presumably don't have birth certificates or passports, they don't have a drivers license in Abudu's way of thinking.

The hard truth is, most illegal voters would chose to vote Democrat and the Party knows this. If the shoe was on the other foot and illegal migrants tended to vote Republican, you can bet they would scream bloody murder. 

Abudu, the deputy legal director at hard-Left SPLC, was picked, apparently by Joe Biden in December to serve on the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, which covers Alabama, Florida and Georgia. The seat was vacated by the retirement of Judge Beverly B. Martin, who was an Obama appointee.

Abudu worked for the ACLU from 2005 to 2019 and was an 11th Circuit staff attorney from 2002 to 2004. But the thing that flipped Biden's On switch is that Abudu is Black and therefore not White and that is the main criteria in his brain addled head.

Biden installed 75 judges in 2021. The memo states that his nominees “reflect the diversity” Biden “promise[d]” in courts and that Abudu “would be the first African-American woman judge ever to sit on the Eleventh Circuit.”

That's all well and good, but it isn't a qualification. She admitted in 2011, that "95 percent" of her ACLU involvement involved "voting rights," and said at the time that “photo ID” and “proof of citizenship,” two long-established requirements to vote, are indicative of “voter suppression.”

The irony of her being selected by Barack Obama at the time was that there Black vote reached a historic

high and there was indications that voter suppression existed. After all, Obama was elected twice.

NJ home commandeered by crazy 'sovereign citizens of Al Moroccan Empire'

Huber A. John

Four so-called "sovereign citizens of the Al Moroccan Empire" commandeered a private home in New Jersey and claimed it to be theirs based on bull crap they made up to avoid having to earn anything.

Huber A. John, 39, was arrested on June 17th, charged with criminal mischief, burglary, criminal trespass and terrorist threats after he allegedly took over the vacant home in Newark, NJ along with three other useless cohorts, as stated Tuesday by the Newark Department of Public Safety.

The homeowner reported a burglary on June 17 at her vacant property on Ivy Street--the locks had been changed and she reported to authorities that "four males that she did not know were claiming to have legal residency of her vacant property and had changed the locks."

Police said the female went to the dwelling with a locksmith, but they were detained by the strangers, "who presented paperwork indicating they held legal residency." The ink was still wet on the documents one might imagine.

Officers who arrived on the scene confirmed that the victim bought the home in February 2021. The home was vacant and she was preparing to renovate it, police said.

"Police requested the documentation from the four suspects, who claimed to be sovereign citizens of the Al Moroccan Empire [booga-booga] and that their status permitted them access to the property," police said.

The four interlopers obeyed police officers' orders and left the property but soon after, at 2:40 p.m., John returned, like a rash you know the doctor should see, and was able to get back inside before the victim was able to have the locks changed.

John, who is originally from the Empire of Los Angeles, in the land of California, "used a key and entered the home before placing a Moorish flag in the window," police said.

"The Newark Police SWAT team was deployed because the suspect refused to leave and was claiming that he was rightfully in possession of the home," Director of Public Safety Brian O'Hara told PEOPLE. "The suspect was essentially a squatter in a vacant home who had the locks changed."

According to the far-Left Southern Poverty Law Center,  an organization that isn't about poverty, nor law, "Members of the Moorish sovereigns, called Moors, have come into conflict with federal and state authorities over their refusal to obey laws and government regulations ... Moorish sovereigns espouse an interpretation of sovereign doctrine that African Americans constitute an elite class within American society with special rights and privileges that convey on them a sovereign immunity placing them beyond federal and state authority." 

[Pro Tip: People from Los Angeles are not Moorish sovereigns, so don't believe them.]

John was ultimately taken into custody without incident and hopefully will one day find a home he can call his own by paying for it.

According to the PEOPLE report, the legitimate owner of the home chronicled the experience in a series of TikTok videos, telling viewers in one: "I was randomly but not randomly targeted by a terrorist group that doesn't solve or follow any of our rules, and would be violent in efforts to steal my house."

YAF fires Michelle Malkin for supporting Holocaust denier

Nick Fuentes is an anti-Semitic, white supremacist bigot whose admirers are no different. In 2017 he took part in the Charlottesville rally known as "Unite the Right." It probably should have replaced the word "right" with "white."

Following the rally, Fuentes praised the "tidal wave of white identity." On his video Internet program America First, he has denied the Holocaust and called for the return to racial segregation saying, "Even if it was bad, who cares?" referring to the Jim Crow laws of the south.

Since October, Fuentes fanatics attended conservative college talks organized by Young America Foundation (YAF), a conservative group and Turning Point USA. The mission of the Fuentes attendees was to heckle the speakers and disrupt their speeches, lest the speakers make good points that challenge the hateful ones of the Fuentes mob.

The activists refer to themselves as 'Groypers' – as a nod to a Pepe the Frog-like toad meme adopted by the most extreme internet white nationalists and originating on 4Chan, a white supremacist site. The Groypers typically ask questions about the US support of Israel as a way to mainstream their anti-Semitism within the conservative movement.

Right wing columnist Michelle Malkin, a former Fox News contributor, and a speaker at YAF presentations, has been dropped by YAF over her support of Fuentes. Her firing exemplifies the latest response in ongoing conflicts of Fuentes supporters and establishment conservatives such as Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens.

Malkin has praised Fuentes and referred to him in a recent speech as "one of the New Right leaders," before calling on establishment conservatives to engage with them.

She displayed the full extent of her support in a speech for YAF delivered on November 14, which she addressed to "the young men and women of this country who identify as America First conservatives."

This is how the Fuentes mob conflates white nationalism with the conservative movement.

Malkin continued: "Another YAF speaker, Ben Shapiro, repeatedly denigrated an entire movement of young men who watch a YouTuber named Nick Fuentes, and are seeking answers to tough questions about where America is headed as masturbating losers in their basements who share memes. As a mom with brilliant right-thinking kids who, yes, live in my basement – and, yes, share memes – I found these obsessive references to young people’s dating lives and habits, by prominent conservative media personalities much older than their targets, to be tellingly defensive and touchy. Also: creepy.

"I will not be using my platform and my position to insult you, marginalize you, and shout you down."

But she will attack an orthodox Jew, Ben Shapiro, for not falling in lockstep with her fellow anti-Semites.

YAF's tolerance toward Malkin appeared to have run out three days after that speech, when they tweeted a post distancing themselves from her views, although they didn't mention her by name.

"Immigration is a vital issue that deserves robust debate. But there is no room in mainstream conservatism or at YAF for Holocaust deniers, white nationalists, street brawlers, or racists," they said.

Malkin responded:

"The Keepers of the Gate have spoken. #AmericaFirst is not "mainstream." My defense of unjustly prosecuted Proud Boys, patriotic young nationalists/groypers & demographic truth-tellers must not be tolerated. SPLC is cheering." 

The Southern Poverty Law Center is an American, far-left, nonprofit legal advocacy organization that, according to its website, "battles racial and social injustice." But mostly it battles true conservatives.

The spat drew the attention of conservative commentators including the Daily Wire's Matt Walsh, who tweeted:

"Hi @michellemalkin. Fuentes called me a "race traitor" and "f*ggot" because I "work for Jews." He also said that black people who complained about segregation needed to "grow up." How do you feel about these statements? And in what way are they "America First"?"

In response Malkin replied with a link to a transcript of the speech she gave on the 14th.

Ironically, Malkin's parents are Filipino immigrants. One hardly wonders just what Fuentes thinks of them.

And while we're at it, isn't it ironic how the left quickly blames President Trump for the crimes of white supremacists but refuse to censure their party's open anti-Semites: Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib? Trump is no racist nor anti-Semitic.

Drag queens read to children 'to bring normalcy' to gender identity disorder

San Diego -- Of course it's California. Where else would you go to find a program that touts itself as a platform to create a sense of acceptance and tolerance for drag queens [aka: men who dress in women's clothing and makeup for the purposes of entertaining] by children?

Drag queens will be welcome at Chula Vista for storytime at a library in Otay Ranch this month.

A group known as MassResistance, an anti-LGBTQ organization that the far left Southern Poverty Law Center has predictably labeled a hate group, plans to stage a news conference Thursday to demand that the library event be canceled. “Drag Queen Storytime” is set to take place Sept. 10.

MassResistance, which has protested similar events across the country, said in a news release that drag queens “should not be around children.” In support of this notion is an article in Church Militant discussing drag queens inappropriately touching children and contains photographic proof, which they say had since been removed from social media.

“Having illicit, sexually explicit adult entertainers reading to children, billing them as heroes and role models, is just unthinkable and unconscionable,” director Arthur Schaper said.

Church Militant

The group, a self-described pro-family organization, said it has contacted the library and city in an effort to stop the event, which is in conflict with Judeo-Christian beliefs.

The storytime is part of a "woke" nationwide program known as Drag Queen Story Hour where what had once been labeled as sexual deviance, is now, not only the norm, but is being force-fed to children as heroic.

The city of Chula Vista’s website describes the event as an opportunity to “learn the history of drag while encouraging acceptance, being yourself, and loving who you are!” [Especially if you are suffering from gender identity disorder, which the American Psychiatric Association was forced to remove from the Diagnostic Statistical Manual due to political pressure from the gay community.]

In response to the push back, Councilman Steve Padilla issued a statement that condemned the criticism.

“I am disappointed that some voices both from inside and outside our community have chosen to use the upcoming Drag Queen Storytime as an opportunity to perpetuate long discredited false and discriminatory narratives targeting the LGBTQ+ community in the name of protecting children,” said Padilla, who is gay and became Chula Vista’s first openly-gay elected official.

“This is wrong and must be called out for what it is — the spreading of ignorance, fear and hate,” he said, referring to the irrational fear people harbor when seeing children draped all over the drag queens on the library floor. “Much of this fear mongering is being organized by the local chapter of a nationally known hate-group [according to SPLC, which itself hates conservative viewpoints] which promotes not just anti-LGBTQ beliefs, but also anti-immigrant and white supremacist beliefs. [Whenever a leftist disagrees with the viewpoint of a conservative, even black conservatives, they are labeled 'racists' because that is their knee-jerk reaction to an argument they cannot win.] These ideas and tactics do not reflect the community I love and serve.

“Despite this, our community’s public spaces are open to all no matter their color, creed or political beliefs. [Which were never part of the argument, but again, it's a leftist using racism as a weapon.] Our libraries are critical to our community’s well-being and serve as places that provide access to a wealth and diversity of information, ideas and thought. This Storytime event is among many designed to foster a love of reading, and most importantly of all, to model the importance of diversity in learning, love and civility.”

When leftists speak of civility, be very careful--Antifa will go after you.

OMG the SPLC broke up with the Women's March over anti-Semitism

It's not typical of me to say anything good about the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center, but I will to a degree do so in this post.

The SPLC is the latest in leftist organizations to quietly sever ties with the national Women's March after it was revealed in the New York Times and Tablet that senior leaders of the organization expressed anti-Semitic sentiments in early organizational meetings, and affiliated with the anti-Semitic, anti-LGBT, and anti-women's rights organization, the Nation of Islam, expressing admiration for their crap weasel leader Louis Farrakhan.

The Daily Beast reports that SPLC had quietly withdrawn its support for the Women's March, and the Women's March, in turn, had removed SPLC from its list of co-sponsors. The SPLC was a prominent member of the Women's March coalition for the first two years of marches.

The SPLC, in an effort to avoid looking like fans of Hitler supporters, was closed-mouth about the development in their statement to the Daily Beast, telling reporters that “other projects were a priority,” and that they would continue to be involved with local marches, even if they were cutting ties with the national Women's March.

Now we know the real reason.

Just a few short months ago, the SPLC was expressing unqualified support for the March, claiming, in a press release that:

“As an official partner of the march, the Southern Poverty Law Center stands in solidarity with its organizers’ vision — that ‘women’s rights are human rights’ — and with the march’s mission to bring together communities ‘insulted, demonized and threatened by the rhetoric of the past election cycle,’ the SPLC said in January of 2017, calling itself “dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry and to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of our society. Through our core issues, we work to protect the rights of the working poor, LGBT, and undocumented immigrant women whom the Women’s March on Washington seeks to unite.”

But that seems to have changed since reporters at Tablet and the New York Times revealed a significant link between the Women's March's national organizers -- including Linda Sarsour, Tamika Mallory, and Carmen Perez -- and Farrakhan's Nation of Islam, which the SPLC has long-designated as a "hate group," and Louis Farrakhan as a purveyor of anti-Semitism.

A handful of local "Women's March" organizations have also cut official ties to the national Women's March over the revelations of anti-Semitism, and a number of other organizations, besides the Southern Poverty Law Center, have cut ties with the national March pending turnover at their top levels.

According to Tali Goldsheft, the activist who began a major petition drive to encourage left-leaning organizations to cut ties with Sarsour, Mallory, and Perez, more than half of the Women's March's original sponsors and affiliates have dropped off, including several major labor unions, at least two top LGBT-rights organizations (GLAAD and the Human Rights campaign), and one top women's rights organization, NARAL, have all recently dropped off the list of Women's March supporters.

It seems that killing gays under sharia [Islamic law] as Farrakhan believes, doesn't appeal to the LGBT-rights organizations. You will also not see any Jewish organizations sponsoring the March, and the AFL-CIO, NARAL, GLAAD, Human Rights Campaign, NRDC, OXFAM, Greenpeace, Amnesty and other major orgs are no longer listed as @womensmarch partners.

Goldsheft says there are only a handful of "major" sponsors left: Planned Parenthood, an organization that specializes in killing babies for profit. The American Civil Liberties Union, [but if you want to defend your civil liberties, don't look to the ACLU]. And the American Federation of Teachers, an organization that, since 1980 has contributed tens of millions of dollars, 95 percent of which has gone to Democrats. Members' dues underwrite much of the AFT's political support and in 2015, four California teachers sued AFT and its California unit over the use of member dues for political activities, arguing that unions were violating constitutional right to free speech by forcing them to either support union-favored causes and candidates or lose access to important job benefits such as life insurance and disability. The matter was resolved last year by SCOTUS in Janus v AFSCME concluding public sector union fees violate the First Amendment compelling nonmembers to "subsidize private speech on matters of substantial public concern." Unions will, subsequently, need to gain the affirmative consent of individual teachers before enrolling them in the union.

The next national Women's March is set to take place next Saturday, January 19, in Washington, D.C. Turnout is anticipated to be way down from previous years.

Rightfully so.

Mastercard cut off payments to David Horowitz's think tank based on SPLC label

You cannot go farther left in social/political views than the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

The David Horowitz Freedom Center, a conservative think tank, had its Mastercard donation system blocked by the company based upon the SPLC's labeling them a hate group. It was originally reported that Visa had done the same, but have since denied being involved in the blacklisting of the Freedom Center.

The hate group label came shortly after Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch was removed from the funding platform of Patreon after Mastercard pressured them. Spencer, who is an expert on Islam, especially as to how it relates to terrorism, has never personally expressed any form of hate other than to quote Islamic scripture.

The SPLC is using Mastercard, and possibly other funding avenues, to shut down conservative voices by blocking their donations from reaching them. Horowitz sent out an email to his followers requesting they support the organization by sending donations to a PO Box.

An example of the email can be seen below.

Hopefully the supporters will not allow the Freedom Center to fold.

Horowitz responded to Breitbart News' follow up:

We have been attacked by the left wing hate machine whose goal is to suppress and silence conservative voices. This is the work of a Soros funded Media Matters and Southern Poverty Law Center operation. It's cynical, calculated and supported by the Democratic Party. The reason Mastercard and Visa gave us for cutting us off and thus sabotaging our online fund-raising operation is that the SPLC told them that we were a hate group. It is wrong to focus on the Tech heads as the culprits because as businessmen they have a vested interest in keeping their platforms politically neutral. They have been threatened by Senator Mark Warner and other Democrats if they don't censor conservatives. The fact that Mastercard and Visa are now part of this juggernaut indicates how dangerous this has become.

Visa reached out to Breitbart News' request for comment, denying any involvement in cutting off the Freedom Center from payment processing. They further stated that they were not even aware of the Freedom Center's blacklisting before the article was published by Breitbart News.

First they came for Facebook accounts. Then they came for Instagram and Pinterest. When will they come for me? For you?

The poverty of honesty of the SPLC

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) where honesty is their poverty and truth their nemesis, has been caught covering up evidence of anti-white hate being taught in American schools, as documented by Paul Sperry for The New York Post. 

SPLC released a report entitled "The Trump Effect: The Impact of the 2016 Presidential Election on Our Nation's Schools." 

It gathered and assessed data from about 10,000 educators of K-12 across the country concluding that "the results of the election are having a profoundly negative impact on schools and students" and that "ninety percent of educators report that school climate has been negatively affected, and most of them believe it will have a long-lasting impact."

The problem with the SPLC report was the fact that they were only interested in bigotry in one direction. Of the 10,000 teachers surveyed, "Four in 10 have heard derogatory language directed at students of color, Muslims, immigrants and people based on gender or sexual orientation."

SPLC asked whether or not respondents "have heard derogatory language or slurs about white students" but they did not include those answers in their report. Sperry requested the information from SPLC and their spokes-progressive Kirsten Bokenkamp told him that "about 20 percent answered affirmatively to that question."

So it was okay with SPLC to leave out 2,000 incidents of anti-white bias--that is disgusting.

SPLC says that it isn't a partisan organization and they are not a lobby group for the Democratic Party and don't exclusively champion Muslims and other minorities.

Anti-white hate doesn't work well for SPLC. "They left that result out because it would not fit their ideological narrative," Hans Bader, a former Education Department civil rights attorney told The New York Post. "It was deemed an inconvenient truth," he said.

SPLC is about as honest as a Hillary Clinton southern accent.
