The SPLC's Real Scam

White nationalists and identitarian groups have no genuine political power or support, so it makes sense that SPLC and other groups would prop them up for fundraising.
It turns out that the most generous funder of white supremacist groups in the United States was likely the Southern Poverty Law Center.
At least that's what the Department of Justice's superseding indictment against the SPLC alleges. The organization secretly paid informants to engage in the active promotion and funding of racist groups while denouncing and "fighting" the very same groups in public. The SPLC purportedly created fictitious entities to hide funding from their donors.
The SPLC, for instance, is accused of bankrolling the 2017 "Unite the Right" rally, paying a leader nearly $300,000 to post racist messages, organize and even transport people to the infamous Charlottesville protest, where one person was killed.
In another instance, a pair of white supremacists who approached the SPLC about leaving the Klan were encouraged to stay in the group and recruit new members. Given salaries, the two men were allegedly reimbursed for the costs of their activities, including those "incurred for cross-burning events, to include the wood and fuel used."
