A bad week for Iran, the SPLC, and the Left in general.
hat description comes from Chamath Palihapitiya, a venture capitalist, and relates to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which was just indicted by a federal grand jury in Alabama.
The SPLC was formed years ago to seek damages for KKK victims. Over the years, it amassed a fortune and used it and its connections with the media and the Democrats unfairly to tar and ruin the livelihoods and reputations of individuals and organizations with which it disagreed -- including groups like Moms for Liberty and Parents Defending Education. The switch proved immensely profitable. It has more than $800 million in assets, some hundreds of millions of which are held in offshore accounts like the Cayman Islands.
The indictment reveals payments of more than $3 million by the SPLC to individuals connected to extremist groups like the Ku Klux Klan, United Klans of America, Unite the Right, National Alliance, National Socialist Movement, the Aryan Nations-affiliated Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club, National Socialist Party of America (American Nazi Party), and American Front. It includes six counts of wire fraud, four counts of false statements to a bank, and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche alleged that the SPLC had used “paid operatives within extremist circles to incite and intensify racial tensions,” arguing the civil rights organization “fostered the very threats it claimed to fight.”
Its key donors and benefactors include George Soros/Open Society and George Clooney/Clooney Foundation for Justice, Tim Cook/Apple, JP Morgan Chase, OpenAI, and MGM Resorts. None of them has defended their donations since the indictment.
In addition to big left-wing donors, investigators have traced over $27 million in federal money to the SPLC through USAID and another NGO, the Tides Foundation.

SPLC’s legal jeopardy, per the indictment, arises because it
...opened bank accounts connected to a series of fictitious entities which allowed it 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 activity.
So what is the prognosis? I mean will the organization of grifters be taken down? Planned Parenthood was a tough nut to crack. PBS too.
Is that the same Clooney that;
Portrayed Batman;
Bought a home in a foreign land;
Said that Trump would never get elected?
SPLC exists to stoke the fires of racial envy.
It has no other purpose.
I see their ads on daytime TV interspersed with ads for ‘Veterans’, puppies and dizzy old people
They (SPLC) contributed $270 thousand to the Charlottesville takeover and received $81 million in additional donations for their scheme.
Pretty good ROI.
Don’t forget: Ordered Biden out of the race with Bronco’s endorsement.
“...the many people and organizations slandered by SPLC, whose livelihoods and lives were endangered as a result, should line up to sue for damages.”
I hope all of these people are lining up attorneys.
