🚨THE LEFT'S ENFORCER:
The Southern Poverty Law Center has taken aim at Not the Bee, the real-news partner of The Babylon Bee. The SPLC is threatening to doxx the people who write for Not the Bee, to reveal their identities to expose them to ridicule and ostracization.
The SPLC is trying to silence Not the Bee because it publishes news that contradicts the SPLC's woke narrative. But I also suspect there's a secondary motive at play.

First, a word on the SPLC. What is it?
As the name suggests, the group was founded to provide legal representation to poor people in the South. Yet, as I wrote in my book, "Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center," Morris Dees used the SPLC to sue Klan groups into bankruptcy, a noble mission but one that SPLC lawyers described as "shooting fish in a barrel" in the 1980s. When he ran out of Klan groups, Dees turned to ever more mainstream conservative and Christian groups.
Today, the SPLC releases a "hate map" that plots mainstream groups like the Center for Immigration Studies, Alliance Defending Freedom, and Moms for Liberty alongside chapters of the Klan. Their crimes? Disagreeing with the SPLC's woke agenda. The SPLC has become the Left's cancel culture enforcer.
This makes the SPLC quite useful to the Left, which is why companies like Eventbrite and NextDoor still use the SPLC despite its many scandals.

What Scandals?🤔
It might be more pertinent to ask what kind of scandal hasn't dogged the SPLC.
It's quite a list:
1⃣$3M in a defamation settlement to a Muslim reformer the SPLC branded an "anti-Islamic extremist."
2⃣A racial discrimination and sexual harassment lawsuit that led SPLC to fire its cofounder and have its president resign in 2019.
3⃣A former employee saying the "hate" accusations are a "highly profitable scam" to bilk donors.
4⃣The FBI publicly declaring that SPLC isn't a reliable source of information (more on this later).
5⃣A defamation lawsuit against the SPLC making it past a key legal hurdle last year.
6⃣Accusations of "union-busting" from employees amid a restructuring earlier this year.

🏛️WHITE HOUSE TIES
Despite the SPLC's many scandals, it enjoys broad access to the Biden-Harris administration.
✔️SPLC leaders and staff have attended at least 18 meetings at the White House.
✔️Biden nominated an SPLC to a top federal judgeship.
✔️SPLC President Margaret Huang bragged about advising the administration on the "domestic terrorism threat."
✔️ FOIA documents back up her claims, showing SPLC meetings at DOJ and with Education officials.
I cover this access in my forthcoming book, "The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government."

Remember the FBI disavowing SPLC?
Well, it only happened because the FBI's Richmond office circulated a memo encouraging agents to develop sources in Catholic churches. The memo cited the SPLC on "radical-traditional Catholic hate groups."
After the brave whistleblower @KyleSeraphin published the document and I asked the FBI about it, the FBI's national office said the memo "does not meet the exacting standards of the FBI."
Yet the SPLC is still keeping "radical-traditional Catholic hate groups" on the "hate map."

🐊DRAIN THE SWAMP
President-elect Donald Trump ran on dismantling the Deep State, and countering the SPLC's influence in government is one of the main tasks he'll have to take on when he enters office on Jan. 20, 2024.
On the very next day, I publish my book, "The Woketopus🐙: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government." This book will be an excellent resource for the incoming administration to see where the woke bureaucrats have entrenched themselves.

But why did the SPLC attack Not the Bee?🤔
When Elon Musk bought Twitter, one of his first acts was to free The Babylon Bee. The Bee had gotten booted from Twitter for the sin of calling Rachel Levine a man (which he is). Many have suggested that Musk bought Twitter partly because he wanted to free the bee🐝
Elon's decision to make Twitter @X and to allow free speech reversed the Left's stranglehold on information. We should never forget that Twitter censored The New York Post's reporting on Hunter Biden, and that it colluded with the FBI and the Biden administration to silence dissent from the government narrative on COVID-19 and climate change.
The massive win for free speech that Elon Musk brought about may have helped Donald Trump prevail in the 2024 election. At the very least, it made Trump's win more possible.
The SPLC doesn't like losing its access to power, and so it stands to reason that the SPLC would try to take revenge on The Babylon Bee and its enterprise.
