Photos the MSM won't ever show you, taken in San Diego during the "Gran Marcha" a few years back. I was outed as a gringo infiltrator a second after snapping the top photo and almost got a beat down. Lucky for me some San Diego cops were nearby and the Brown Berets could only shove me around.

Nobody can claim the Brown Berets of Aztlan are a "fringe" group when they lead the parade.

Strange how the MSM "missed" this story.

I’m guessing that Susy Buchanan resembles an anorexic Olive Oyl, and she took that type of mild description personally as an insult to herself.

Liberal women take everything as a personal insult. Not coincidentally, they have a very bad reproductive rate.

...... the SPLC has been lying to advance the leftist agenda ....and have gotten rich in the process....

Hmmmmm......can SPLC produce records on how they spent tax-exempt money? Oh, nevermind. The IRS, SEC, FBI, Congress and the GAO can find out (/snix).

SCAM-A-RAMA Morris Seligman Dees, Jr. is co-founder and chief trial counsel for the tax-exempt Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

Dees was one of the principal architects of an innovative strategy of using civil lawsuits to secure a court judgment for money damages against an organization for a wrongful act and then use the courts to seize its assets (money, land, buildings, other property) to pay the judgment.

ANALYSIS SPLC'S modus operandi is amazingly similar to the Milberg Weiss "class action" scam. Read on.

NYP---June 3, 2008 -- Mel Weiss, co-founder and chief trial counsel for the securities law firm Milberg LLP, was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison for illegally paying clients to file shareholder suits that prosecutors said earned $251 million in lawyer fees. Weiss pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy, admitting he helped secretly pay a stable of plaintiffs to file suits 1979-2005. By using them to sue first, the firm was more likely to lead cases and reap larger fees.

"Weiss was widely recognized as the king of the plaintiffs' securities bar," said Jacob Frenkel, a former federal prosecutor. Yesterday's sentence, along with a similar prison term for Weiss' ex-partner, Bill Lerach, caps a victory for the Justice Department in its effort to combat shareholder litigation and the two men who pioneered the modern securities fraud class action.

Weiss, Lerach and their counterparts engineered cases and paid litigants to sue that forced companies to pay $45 billion.........,and damaged millions of stockholders.

Milberg became so feared by corporations that Congress passed a law making it harder to file such suits. Weiss's former law firm dropped him from its name when he pleaded guilty. Lerach made a plea deal in a scheme prosecutors alleged involved kickback payments to plaintiffs in class action lawsuits he and his former law firm brought. Court papers say that the two employed the scheme for more than two decades in 150 cases that brought their firm more than $200 million in fees (that we know of).

Milberg Weiss, the NY law firm where was indicted on conspiracy, mail fraud and money laundering charges in May 2006. In Lerach's agreement to plead guilty to a conspiracy charge, Justice Department lawyers agreed not to prosecute him over "election, campaign, or other political contributions" related to shady donations to the John Edwards campaign.

========================================

ANIMAL RIGHTS SHAKEDOWN America's farmers, ranchers, hunters, fishermen, research scientists, fashion designers, and restaurateurs have seen for decades how the animal rights movement can behave like a mobbed-up shakedown racket.

A Federal judge ruled the animal rights defendants collaborated to bribe a "barn helper" w/ $190,000 in exchange for his impeached testimony. A "nonprofit charity"---called the Wildlife Advocacy Project was used to funnel the money from a law firm to the bribed plaintiff.

L/E needs to determine whether collusion and conspiracy to collude occured.

For example, SPLC officers may have committed government fraud and may have integrated schemes such as:

(a) misusing reserve accounts, (b) concealing losses, (c) inflating asset values and (d) improperly accounting for transactions, as well as (e) diverting monies into reserve accounts, (f) improperly shifting govt funding to other projects to hide illegal payments, (g) engaging in money laundering schemes, (h) evading IRS, FEC, and US banking laws, and (i) engaging in illegal conversions)

FBI TIP PAGE http://tips.fbi.gov/ (you may remain anonymous)

IRS TOLL-FREE 1-800-829-0433 (you may remain anonymous when reporting possible tax fraud).

The IRS should relentlessly pursue these individuals to determine if all relevant income was reported and whether all relevant taxes were paid (stolen money is taxable).

In some areas, sadly yes ...

I lived in Mississippi in the late days of the KKK and Jimmy Carter’s segregation — when the sheriff with his flashing lights, drove the KKK around to insure people voted properly Democrat. As a little kid I asked dad what was going on, what did the sheriff want — he just said two things, you don’t want to know, as long as we have the secret ballot they will never know how I vote, so I say yes Democrat ...

***The fact that they have also gotten rich in the process might be relevant.****

I understand that the SPLC started off as an anti-gun group but couldn’t get enough donations till they claimed to be an “Anti-poverty Center”.

I hate to say this but I know for a fact that their newsletter is passed out monthly to LEO as "intelligence". I have tried to tell others the truth about this group for years. Everything he said about them is correct.

Somehow I never pictured Ranya as stacked. More like Jessica Alba, in my mind’s eye.

"Photos the MSM won't ever show you...."

Yeah, when the pitchforks and torches finally come out, I suspect some of the first buttocks to be pricked will be media types. Treasonous bastards. They actually make Pravda and Izvestia look good. It is a true shame that today, we can get less biased reportage from Pravda than from the NYTLATBCCBSNBCNN.

The SPLC has done nothing to stem the proliferation of extremist Muslim terror training camps in the US.

Of course they haven't. Like all hard-core leftists, they see the jihadis as their allies.

Yeah, And the bad news it was true ... but the time frame was late 50s.

I you recall, Rice had said plenty of times similar things.
