SOUTHERN POVERTY LIE CENTER EXPOSED!

The $730 Million Smear Factory That Calls Normal People “Hate Groups”

• SPLC was founded in 1971 to fight poverty & racism… but today it sits on a $730 MILLION endowment while spending almost nothing on actual poor people.

• They rake in over $100 MILLION every year in donations, yet their own staff admitted in 2019 the group is full of “systemic racism & sexism” – 9 employees wrote a public letter calling it out!

• Co-founder Morris Dees was fired in 2019 after decades of sexual misconduct allegations from female staff. The “civil rights” hero got kicked out by his own people.

• SPLC’s famous “Hate Map” lists 1,200+ groups as extremists – including mainstream Christian organizations, parent groups, and even anti-jihad activists like Maajid Nawaz (they paid him $3.375 MILLION in 2018 after wrongly labeling him an “anti-Muslim extremist”).

• In 2012, a man used their “hate group” label on the Family Research Council to justify shooting up their office. SPLC’s smear map literally inspired real violence.

• They attack parents who speak at school boards, label conservative think tanks as “hate groups,” and use their huge legal war chest to bully anyone who disagrees with their radical agenda.

SPLC is not fighting hate – they are the hate machine.

A rich, biased, scandal-plagued attack group that destroys reputations for profit and power.

Give to or help directly, a person you know is in need, like it used to be.

I would occasionally go to their web site to see if a charity was worth giving to by checking their hate group list. So that’s a good.

I’d love to see their books.
I was a finance programmer for a looong time.

They are definitely in bed with BLM and Antifa.

Unfortunately I don’t believe a single person will see a jail cell. So pathetic.

No surprise there. The Tides Foundation was the evil spawn of George Soros. That accounts for its one billion endowment.

The begging-for-money industry has grown 10 fold in the last years or so. I get constant phone calls and mail asking for money. Policeman PACs call me once a week at least. I read an article that the journalist said he started keeping begging mailers and ended up with thousands of them in a year.

The begging is out of control and I only give to my church now.

As of now, Charity Navigator gives the SPLC four stars. So much for charity ratings!

Trump TORCHES the SPLC as ‘One of the Greatest Political Scams in American History’ After Fraud Indictment

“This is another Democrat Hoax, along with Act Blue, and many others. If it is true, the 2020 Presidential Election should be permanently wiped from the books!”

Would add that our fellow citizens include those who choose not to be informed, refuse to look at issues from more than one angle, those who are foolish and easily manipulated (e.g., Saint George of Fentanyl), and those… who would make a box of rocks look scholarly by comparison.

These actions of these people make the movie ‘Idiocracy’ seem more and more prophetic each day.

JUSTICE THOMAS, dissenting from the denial of certiorari.. In 2017, Coral Ridge applied to receive donations through AmazonSmile, a pro- gram that allows Amazon customers to contribute to ap- proved nonprofits. To its dismay, Coral Ridge learned it was ineligible for the program. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) had designated Coral Ridge an “Anti-LGBT hate group” because of its biblical views concerning human sexuality and marriage - https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/21-802_o759.pdf

Libs of Tik Tok

You are not going to believe what I just uncovered… Ohio State Senator Casey Weinstein (D) claimed to be a victim of a “nazi” attack which caused him to donate to the SPLC You will never guess who his wife worked for.. The SPLC! Yesterday someone asked Casey if he will disavow the SPLC after it was revealed they allegedly funded extremist groups like the KKK and fake “far right” marches and were indicted for wire fraud and money laundering. His response? “Lol no.” The Democrats knew. What did Casey know and when?! He should absolutely be investigated @TheJusticeDept
