Manufacturing Hate: Why Were American Liberals at SPLC Funding Nazis?
- A Radical Dispatch
1) Grand Jury Indicts SPLC for Funding Nazis
In a jaw-dropping development Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI have announced charges against the well known ‘anti-racism’ charity the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for funding Nazis and racists.
Head of the FBI Kash Patel announced the move as below.

FBI Director Kash Patel: ”…to announce what the general (Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche) just told you. The Southern Poverty Law Center, in a massive, sweeping indictment, has been charged with allegations of fraud and using the banking system to perpetrate that fraud. I just want to talk about a couple of brief things here. The Southern Poverty Law Center themselves advertised to raise money to dismantle violent extremist groups for a period of at least a decade. They used their donor network to raise money to purportedly dismantle violent extremist groups. However, the SPLC, the Southern Poverty Law Center, used the money they raised from their donor network to actually pay the leadership of these very groups. I just want to say that again. They used the fraudulently raised money by lying to their donor network, thousands of Americans, to go ahead and actually pay the leadership of these supposed violent extremist groups. The groups, as the general laid out, include the Ku Klux Klan, the United Klans of America, Unite to Right, National Alliance, the National Socialist Movement, the Aryan Nation Motorcycle Club, and the National Socialist Party of America, and also the American Front. In at least one of these matters, our investigation revealed that funds were used to facilitate the commission of further state and federal offences totalling over $3 million. Furthermore, our investigation revealed that the Southern Poverty Law Center, on top of perpetuating this widespread, decade-long, multi-million dollar fraud, conducted more criminal activity. They attempted to hide their criminal activity from our financial banking network. They set up shell companies and entities around America so that the financial institutions that we rely on as everyday Americans were deceived in believing that money was not coming from the Southern Poverty Law Center in the perpetration of this scheme and fraud, but rather fictitious entities they stood up to perpetuate this ongoing fraud. This is a serious and egregious violation of a group that purported to dismantle violent extremist groups but in turn actually only fuelled the hatred. This is an important case brought by President Trump’s administration. We’re thankful for the President for his leadership and funding of not just the FBI and DOJ, but his commitment to go out there and wipe out fraud and conspiracy and waste and abuse wherever it occurs, including the Southern Poverty Law Center. Even though this money was made to appear to be coming from legitimate people and legitimate entities, we, at the FBI, with our great partners at the Department of Justice and in the state of Alabama, were able to comb through a decade worth of material, a scheme that took a decade to build, so that we were able to follow the money, because money never lies, and they got caught. As the Attorney General said, these charges are varying, they are widespread and wide-ranging, and this investigation is very much ongoing. Today we’re here to announce the charges of the Southern Poverty Law Center and this investigation and the individuals who are responsible will be brought to justice. Thank you, General.”
Something to note here, and a point we will later return to, is that according to Kash Patel’s FBI announcement above, the SPLC has been engaged in such behaviour for over a decade.
Shockingly, the DOJ has announced that more than $3 million was sent by the SPLC to white supremacist groups in this way.
Lending credence to the below meme.
Here is information on the full indictment from the DOJ page, for posterity.

As our regulars will no doubt know, the weaponisation of ‘anti-hate’ campaigns in this way did not come as a surprise to us here at Radical Media.
This author had been listed by the SPLC as an anti-Muslim extremist in 2016, and in 2018 won a $3.375 million settlement and a formal apology over the matter.
Due to this, and as soon as the story broke, we were invited to speak on GB News America and Fox News to provide our view about what the SPLC were really up to during these years. Both interviews are yet to be released in full, but a highlight from the GB News was aired that evening live in Washington DC on the Late Show with Bev Turner.
Late Show Live, GB News America reports, 23rd April 2026:

Bev Turner for GB News: “Right, moving on. Last night we brought you the story of the influential Southern Poverty Law Center. Right, this is bizarre. It is a powerful non-profit organisation that tracks what it calls hate groups across America. Publishing a controversial hate map that’s often cited, here we go, by media politicians and even law enforcement. These are the people apparently generating hate. You can see those dots on the map. Well, yesterday the Department of Justice here indicted the group on Federal Fraud Charges. It’s like charging them in the UK. It’s a slightly different system. A jury does it here and the CPS does it in the UK. But it’s alleging that it paid informants to infiltrate organisations without properly disclosing that to donors. It follows accusations of them labelling mainstream conservative organisations as extremist and smearing political opponents. Now, in 2018 one of the people they smeared was British political activist and commentator Maajid Nawaz. Now he sued the organisation at the time and he won $3.4 million in compensation. When I saw this story I thought it was strange that they paid him off but they didn’t take it to court and now he’s got a theory as to why that might be Have a look at this exclusive interview.”
Maajid Nawaz: “It was 2018. The SPLC had, two years prior, listed me a Muslim who was simply against extremism from within the Muslim community. I call it Islamist extremism, not Islam, my faith. I clarify this because the Southern Poverty Law Center listed me as being an anti-Muslim extremist. And Bev, it’s important for your viewers to know that when they do this, their purpose is to destroy the reputation of the targeted individual. It is to enable banks, federal agencies, and other institutions that subscribe to such lists and take this advice seriously, to shut down bank accounts, to deny visas, to prohibit travel. All of that is done off the back of the hate lists that the SPLC compiles. So when they named me as an anti-Muslim extremist, meanwhile I’m a Muslim, of course its intention was to destroy my life. It did have a huge impact on our ability to raise funds. At the time, I was the founding chairman of Quilliam, a counter-extremism organisation. We had a 501c3 registered in the US as a charity, and we had to take them to court, Bev. And alongside Megan Meier, who at the time was with Claire Locke, a specialist defamation law firm, but Megan is now, since with her own law firm, Megan Watkins Phillips Push, we raised a case. I had a fund-raised some cash for it, and we also had a private donor that didn’t want his name to be mentioned in public, but we managed to raise the cash, raise the case, and in the end, in 2018, we were the first and only successful case to win against the Southern Poverty Law Center, and they had to pay $3.4 million, issue a public apology, remove my name from the list, and of course the rest is history. Fast forward to now, and we see really what they’re all about.”
Bev Turner for GB News: “So that’s a clip from the interview with Maajid Nawaz. You can see the long version of that on GB News’ Originals page on YouTube, and it is worth watching. The bit I don’t think we saw there was Maajid’s theory being, Stephen, with the passage of time: they didn’t take it to court because they knew that in the discovery process some of this might have come out, suggesting that they could have been doing this all those years ago.”
Editor’s Note: this full GB News interview with Maajid Nawaz will soon be published by GB News Originals, and following that there will be a Fox News interview published. Follow Radical Media for updates.
But it wasn’t just anti-extremist Muslims that the SPLC had been smearing as extremists, all while funding actual extremists. Rather, and in cooperation with the Democratic party, the SPLC were also known for going after Catholics.
Here is the full PDF of the 2023 memo on SPLC targeting Catholics by the Republican House Judiciary Committee.
2) Charities Are Not Intelligence Agencies
In attempting to defend themselves against a grand jury indictment and these very serious charges, friends of the SPLC put out a press line that they had been funding Nazis in order to infiltrate and subvert them, just like law enforcement do regularly.
The problem with this line is obvious.
The SPLC is not a law enforcement agency with the legal powers to fund, infiltrate and subvert extremist organisations. It is a charity that collects donations from the public to fight racism. Such clandestine operations are patently not what its donors - the public - funded it for.
Despite the obvious flaw in the argument, former Senator Doug Jones (D) immediately attempted to defend the SPLC in this very manner.
Former U.S. Senator. Candidate for governor of Alabama in 2026:

Former Senator Doug Jones (D): “The indictment that was returned against the Southern Poverty Law Center is just simply outrageous. This is not the pursuit of justice. This is pure political retribution. This is a Trump administration going after anyone who might oppose them, not just as a tax exempt organisation, but just seeking criminal charges against an organisation, the Southern Poverty Law Center, that has been around for 55 years and done remarkable work seeking justice on behalf of individuals and communities who cannot seek that justice themselves, that do not have that resources. The Southern Poverty Law Center has been there consistently with those voices, with the legal arms. Big example, back in 1981, a lynching that occurred in Mobile, Alabama. Michael Donald was lynched, and it was the Southern Poverty Law Center who represented that family. Got, not just justice for Michael Donald and his family, but helped dismantle the Ku Klux Klan in Alabama and nationwide. And I gotta tell you, I’ve looked at this indictment. It is absolutely ridiculous to think that they were raising money in a fraudulent way simply because they did not disclose publicly all of the tactics they were using in trying to get and take down and dismantle these agencies. The tactics they are accused of doing in paying informants, including some people, you know, those are tactics used by law enforcement every day. I’m a former prosecutor, two stints with the Department of Justice. That’s how you take down hate groups. That’s how you take down extremist organisations. Hell, it’s how you take down drug cartels, for goodness sake. That’s what they do. And I know firsthand that the Southern Poverty Law Center in the years past have given this information and shared this information with local law enforcement and the FBI. They have used the information to help take down these groups. So this is crazy. This is another example of a weaponisation that they are taking to all new levels and everyone in this state and folks across the country should be alarmed at what they’re seeing going on with this Department of Justice and how they are going after political enemies and those who simply oppose this president. It is not the way we do things and it’s certainly never the way the Department of Justice should operate.”
Many observers immediately saw through this facade.
Among the corporate press, the New York Post stood out in providing further details.
The public did not donate to the SPLC so that it could fund the real life Imperial Wizard of the KKK, as reported by the Post below.
The New York Post reports 23rd April 2026:
There was clearly a huge profit motive for the SPLC after the Nazi tiki torch rally in Charlottesville.
Records of donations show that their revenue almost tripled after the Unite the Right rally, for which they have been revealed to have funded a key organiser.
Perhaps the SPLC acronym should be repurposed: Scaring People for Loads of Cash.
In this way it is revealed that American liberals were funding both sides in order to control the dialectic of hate, so that they may control the outcome: which in this case was to help elect Biden over Trump in 2020.
American liberals were caught manufacturing hate for political ends. Based on the above details, the below cartoon is sadly accurate.
True to life, the below is a real image of SPLC staff.
They will have been working for an organisation that had been funding multiple Nazi organisation leaderships for over a decade, all while the SPLC smeared those - such as this author - who were actually fighting the extremists.
3) Funding Both Sides to KKKontrol the Outcome
Even more worrying was that fact that, amid revelations of funding an Imperial Wizard of the KKK, the SPLC also bankrolled - to the tune of $270,000 - a main organiser for the globally infamous 2017 Unite the Right tiki torch rally in Charlottesville, which widely was used by SPLC-allies within the Biden campaign to pin on Trump in the 2020 election campaign.
The New York Post reports 23rd April 2026:
President Trump has since confirmed his belief that the Charlottesville incident provides evidence for how the SPLC, the KKK and the Democratic party, allied to agents within the globalist deep state, interfered with his 2020 bid for reelection.
Click to play:
President Trump: “Which are funded just like the Southern Law was funded. You saw all that Southern Law is financing the KKK and lots of other radical, terrible groups. And then they go out and they say, oh, we’ve got to stop the KKK. And yet they give them hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars. It’s a total scam run by the Democrats. It shows you that like Charlottesville, Charlottesville was all funded by the Southern Law that was a Southern Law deal too. And it was done to make me look bad and it turned out to be a total fake. It basically was a rigged election this was a part of the rigging of the election. And that’s what you really should be doing. I mean I hope one of your 60 minute episodes, which really hasn’t changed very much for the last few years I’m surprised, but one of those episodes should be on Southern Law and the fact that they spent millions and millions of dollars on absolute far right and just bad, bad groups. And then they’d use those groups and they’d say, these are Republican groups and we’re coming to your rescue. And they’re the ones that have funded it and they’re the ones that keep them going.”
We are yet to concede Trump’s 2020 election defeat.
Wikipedia reports, accessed 29th April 2026:
The below thread by social media user ‘DataRepublican (small r)’ provides a helpful summary of how the SPLC worked with the KKK and the Democratic party to undermine Trump’s 2020 reelection bid.
It gets worse, the Nazi “informants” paid by the SPLC appear to have been among the criminals attacking anti-racist counter-protestors by mowing into them with their cars. On the day, 32-year-old paralegal and civil rights activist Heather Heyer died in this way.
Because the SPLC-funded Unite the Right rally was genuinely scary, it succeeded in uniting anti-racist organisations behind the SPLC’s unified national agenda.
Here’s why it matters:
The SPLC were thus appointed as the gate-keepers to civil discourse.

“That’s an excellent question. I think we have tried to match the kind of definitions of hate speech that are currently prominently used by the organizations that track that, the Southern Poverty Law Center, ACLU. So we are aligning our decisions with what are generally accepted standards about hate speech.”
This is how the SPLC succeeded in setting up a national infrastructure to kkkontrol the direction of hate and own its political response.
Such behaviour is not new.
This same FBI indictment reveals that it potentially goes all the way back to 1995 and the Oklahoma City bombing.
Much of what we know about terrorism, extremism and hate requires completely revising.
4) Who Were Other Targeted Individuals?
In silencing those who sought to challenge hate, while simultaneously funding and promoting it, the SPLC needed to target certain voices who appeared to threaten their kkkontrol of the dominant discourse. This is why they went after this author plus 14 other individuals back in 2016.
The horrific context of those peak War on Terror days must be remembered for the full scale of the attempted intimidation to be understood.
The Free Press reports 24th April 2026:
“I was placed on an SPLC blacklist in October 2016. The document was called ‘A Journalist’s Manual: Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists.’ My name appeared beside Maajid Nawaz, a reformed radical who ran a counter-extremism organisation, and an array of figures also dedicated to combating Islamism and antisemitism, such as David Horowitz and Daniel Pipes. The list handed journalists a ready-made roster of 15 people whose views were to be seen as toxic. But to call it a mere reference guide is to understate what it was.
It was published at the peak of a jihadist campaign of terror against the West. The ISIS caliphate still held territory across Syria and Iraq. Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) was issuing hit lists of writers and cartoonists in its English-language magazine. In January 2015, two of AQAP’s followers walked into the offices of the magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris and murdered 12 people, some of them cartoonists whose offense was drawing. Ten months later, a coordinated ISIS cell killed 130 at Paris’s Bataclan theater and the cafés around it. Terror attacks in Brussels, Nice, Berlin, and Manchester soon followed.
This was the climate in which the SPLC chose to publish the names, faces, and affiliations of 15 people it accused of ‘anti-Muslim extremism.’ The list endangered everyone it named. I know the threat of Islamist violence all too well. In 2004, a jihadist named Mohammed Bouyeri murdered my friend and collaborator Theo van Gogh on an Amsterdam street. Bouyeri shot him, cut his throat, and pinned a five-page letter to his chest with a knife. The letter was a fatwa against me. I have lived under armed protection for more than two decades because men with weapons and conviction want me dead—for apostasy; for writing about Islamist-driven antisemitism and the subversive actions of the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups in the West; for drawing attention to practices such as honor killings and female genital mutilation; for arguing that Muslim women deserve the same protections under the law as other women.
The SPLC considers all of this beyond the pale, and accused me of using ‘the political bully pulpit to bash Muslims.’
Thus, an organisation founded to combat bigotry chose to place me on a list together with others whose lives were already under threat from the same movements, just for having the audacity to combat Islamist bigotry.
Nawaz sued the group, and won. In June 2018, the SPLC settled for $3.4 million and issued a written apology. The field guide vanished from its website. No apology was ever extended to me or to the others unfairly placed on that list’.”
It is no coincidence that it was named a ‘Field Guide’. The aim was clearly to provide information to those out “on the field” about why to hate us and target us.
As Hirsi Ali reports above, this is why we took such decisive action and forced an formal retraction.
