The Justice Department just secured a superseding indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center, and it reveals some new bombshells

🧵1/20

dailysignal.com/2026/04/26/spl…

Reminder: the SPLC raises money by claiming it exists to "dismantle white supremacy," but DOJ says the SPLC was actually propping up the hate it told donors it aimed to destroy. SPLC paid "field sources," whom SPLC says were merely informants.

🧵2/20

Yet the field sources used the SPLC's $ to:

1⃣Attend extremist rallies
2⃣Host rallies
3⃣Grow existing chapters
4⃣Create new chapters
5⃣Recruit individuals
6⃣Donate to extremist leaders
7⃣Purchase cross-burning material
8⃣Create racist paraphernalia
9⃣Pay living expenses

🧵3/20

The SPLC set up ficitious entities to fund these "field sources."

🧵4/20

1⃣NATIONAL ALLIANCE

SPLC paid over $1.2M to "F-9," who was in a romantic relationship with an SPLC employee😲

While receiving SPLC donors' money, F-9 also raised funds for the National Alliance.

🧵5/20

2⃣NAZI-KKK LEADER

SPLC paid more than $70K to F-30, a NAZI, KKK, and Aryan Nations leader. F-30 asked SPLC to help him/her leave the movement. SPLC gave F-30 a salary to stay. F-30 used the $ to host extremist rallies, recruit members, publish material.

🧵6/20

3⃣KKK GETS COLD FEET

F-30 wasn't the only one. F-31 & F-32, KKK members, wanted out in 2010.

The SPLC bribed them to stay in the movement. These Fs used the $ to attend extremist rallies and to gain a leadership role.

SPLC reimbursed them for cross-burning materials.

🧵7/20

4⃣NEO-NAZI FEATURED

SPLC gave $155K+ to F-42, former chairman of the Neo-Nazi National Alliance. At the same time, SPLC featured this field source on its "Extremist File" webpage.

🧵8/20

5⃣UNITE THE RIGHT

F-37, a member of the leadership chat for the Charlottesville rally in 2017, made racist posts under an SPLC employee's supervision and arranged transport for others to attend the rally. SPLC paid this person $300K.

🧵9/20

6⃣NAZI

The SPLC paid $350K to an officer of the National Socialist Movement and Aryan Nations-affiliated Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club.

🧵10/20

7⃣AMERICAN FRONT

The SPLC paid F-43 $19K. This person was national president of American Front, and is a convicted felon for participating in a cross burning.

🧵11/20

8⃣UNITED KLANS OF AMERICA

The SPLC paid F-18, who led "a millennial reboot of what was once a serious domestic threat."

🧵12/20

WIRE FRAUD

The indictment mentions specific payments SPLC allegedly made under false pretenses. The indictment claims SPLC aimed "to obtain money via donations through materially false representations and omissions about what the donated funds would be used for."

🧵13/20

The indictment also brings bank fraud charges, mentioning specific statements an SPLC employee made to a bank that later conflicted with the SPLC CEO's statements to the bank.

🧵14/20

Finally, the indictment claims the SPLC conspired to commit concealement money laundering, aiming to conceal "the true nature, source, ownership, and control of fraudulently obtained donated money the SPLC paid to the Fs."

🧵15/20

The indictment states that, upon conviction of the wire fraud counts, the SPLC "shall forfeit to the United States... any property, real or personal, which represents or istraceable to the gross receipts obtained" in violation of the law.

🧵16/20

Upon conviction of the conspiracy to conceal money laundering charge, the SPLC shall also forfeit any property involved in that offense.

🧵17/20

I've repeatedly explained why the charges in the indictment make sense. The SPLC built its reputation by suing the KKK into bankruptcy, but now it smears mainstream conservatives and Christians, juicing the numbers on the "hate" it claims to oppose.

🧵18/20

Here's my testimony on the issue before @JudiciaryGOP last month.

I wrote the book about the SPLC back in 2020, and I released an updated version last month.

New development: why is a "conservative" group defending the SPLC?
