SPLC Funneled $270K Cash to Charlottesville Hoax Rally Planner — ‘Manufacturing Racism’
But on Tuesday, the Trump DOJ dropped a bombshell: an 11-count federal indictment charging the SPLC with wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering for secretly funneling more than $3 million in donor cash to actual extremists.
Among those nefarious payments was a staggering $270,000 allegedly paid to a member of the online leadership chat group that planned the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. That paid insider attended the event at the SPLC’s direction, helped coordinate transportation for attendees, and even made racist postings under the group’s supervision.
That rally, of course, led to the wholly media-manufactured “fine people” hoax.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche explained how the law center funded hate groups, which allowed them to feign fighting said hate groups.
“The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence,” he said in a press release. “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.”
While the self-styled anti-hate warriors publicly denounced the very groups they were paying, they turned around and used those same activities to generate the fear porn that kept the donation spigot wide open. Among the groups in which associated individuals were reportedly paid by the SPLC, according to the Department of Justice, were the Ku Klux Klan, the National Socialist Party of America (American Nazi Party), the United Klans of America, and Unite the Right.
