More details have emerged about the Southern Poverty Law Center’s funding the right-wing extremism it purported to fight. Here’s the updated account, contained in a superseding indictment filed by the Department of Justice, of SPLC Employee-3 who helped organize the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. — JAB
The SPLC Secretly Paid F-37 More Than $300,000 in Donor’s Money
i. F-37 was not involved in an extremist organization before F-37 reached out to the SPLC seeking employment.
ii. While receiving payment by the SPLC, F-37 made multiple racist posts on social media accounts under the supervision of SPLC Employee-3.
iii. In 2017, F-37 was a member of the online leadership chat group that helped plan the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. SPLC Employee-3 directed F-37 to attend this event in which one woman and two law enforcement officers were tragically killed. F-37 assisted in arranging transportation for others involved in the movement to the event.
iv. The SPLC extensively covered the “Unite the Right” rally on its various media platforms, both at the time of the rally and in the following years. The “Unite the Right” rally led to a massive fundraising windfall for the SPLC with open-source media reporting that the SPLC more than doubled their previous year’s reported revenue from private and corporation donations following the “Unite the Right” rally. The SPLC did not disclose to its donors that it used donors’ money to pay F-37.
v. Between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC secretly paid F-37 over $300,000.00 in donors’ money. The majority of the money paid to F-37 flowed from the SPLC operating account, through the CIA account, to the Rare Books account, and finally onto two pay cards issued to F-37 under the false pretense that F-37 was a Rare Books employee. F-37 further received checks written from the CIA account at Bank-1 and ACH payments through the SPLC Operating Account Bank-1 under the monikers “RAREBOOKS050” and “IPRESEARCHCON050.”
You won’t read anything about this in the legacy Virginia media. But you can get the story in Tyler O’Neil’s coverage on X. O’Neil, an investigative reporter for the DailySignal, is author of “Making Hate Pay” and “the Woketopus.”
