For years, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), once a widely-respected civil rights organization, lost its respect by smearing conservative organizations that it falsely designated as “hate groups” merely for holding mainstream views that differ with those of the radical left. 

This week, they added both Turning Point and PragerU on their official  “hate map” that mainstream media pundits use to denote as “hate organizations.”

“No, they did not notify us and if they’d like to know how we feel about SPLC, we actually have an entire 5 minute video about them titled The “Anti-Hate” Group That Is a Hate Group,” a PragerU representative said.

Turning Point describes itself as “the largest and fastest-growing youth organization in America,” touting a presence on “over 3,500 campuses.” It has more than 800 college chapters and over 1,000 high school chapters.

In 2019, Morris Dees, founder of the SPLC, had to resign because of the growing scandals of sexual and racial mistreatment within the organization.

Bob Moser, a former SPLC staffer, wrote in the New Yorker during the turmoil of 2019 that “the work could be meaningful and gratifying. But it was hard, for many of us, not to feel like we’d become pawns in what was, in many respects, a highly profitable scam.”

By 2020, the beginning of the New World Order great pandemic scam, we learned (not from the help of Legacy Mainstream Media) that:

●PayPal worked with the SPLC to identify, and to blacklist, conservatives.

● Google  worked with the SPLC to flag content on its platforms.

● Facebook worked with SPLC to flag content on their site.

We eventually learned giant corporations like Apple and Hollywood celebrities like George Clooney (over $1 million) continued to pour donations into the SPLC’s coffers. 

By the end of that year the embattled organization reportedly enjoyed a massive half-billion-dollar endowment.

SPLC soon hired Michelle Obama’s former chief of staff, Tina Tchen to lead an internal inquiry.  This is the same Tina Tchen who intervened in the Jussie Smollett prosecution in Chicago.

By 2021, Somali-Dutch scholar Ayaan Hirsi Ali strongly criticized the increasing presence of critical race theory and racial politics in the United States, commenting that as a Black woman, the United States is the best nation in the world for minority rights on the part of both race and gender.

Then, in the eyes of liberal politics, she had the audacity to ask Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), “Why Flee Mogadishu and then … turn Minnesota and US into Mogadishu?” 

Ali, who was the victim of the regional custom of genital mutilation and later became a women rights activist speaking out against such customs; after her father shepherded her family out of Somalia, said on Fox Nation’s “Tucker Carlson Today” that those who preach division and theories of inequality do not recognize America’s unique standing as a beacon for the oppressed — rather than a feature of oppression.

“That’s what’s so great about America is that a lot of these things have actually been achieved; equality between men and women, it’s the best place in the world to be female, it’s the best place in the world to be Black, it’s the best place in the world to be gay, trans, whatever you want to be,” she told host Tucker Carlson.

What do we do with all those achievements if you still want to keep an organization going and still want to get money from donors.”

Ali said that institutions like to “invent” new problems that don’t otherwise exist, or at least not to the drastic extent they are advertised to be.

“If you still want to keep the organization going and still want to get money from donors, you start to invent new stories and new problems. And you come up with things like Islamophobia,” said Ali.

“The SPLC … put us on a list which looked a bit like a hit list, I have to say,” she told Carlson. “Because if you are on that list, you make it very easy for those people who may not constantly be making their own lists to go after you.”

“So in many ways, they’re sinister, they’re wrong, they’re corrupt, and the corruption is trying to take people’s money, vulnerable people’s money to pretend that they’re fighting for something that they actually are not fighting for.”

Around this time, comparing between Joe Biden’s and Kamala Harris’  first and second year in office,  Between 2021 and 2022, citizens began to trust less.

● The military dropped from 69% to 64%.

● The police from 44% to 38%.

● Organized religion, from 37% to 31%.

● Newspapers dropped from an already terrible 21% to 15%.

The Biden White House took a staggering 15-point hit, dropping from 38% in 2021 to 23% in 2022.

Daily Signal managing editor, Tyler O’Neil, pinpointed much of what was occurring in his book, Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Over the years, SPLC staff recognizes “that Morris Dees was changing the nature of this organization, from representing poor people to a fundraising juggernaut that was focused on combating hate,” O’Neil explained.

“Eventually, it started getting to mainstream conservative groups, Christian groups like Family Research Council, Alliance Defending Freedom, Center for Immigration Studies,” he continued.

“So you find the Grand Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. You find Neo-Nazis, you find the American Nazi Party. And then, of course, you keep scrolling and you see, ‘Oh, wait, there’s Moms for Liberty, there’s the Family Research Council, there’s Alliance Defending Freedom.'”

He revealed how Moms for Liberty was started out of the severe restrictions of March 2020, when what was supposed to be just “14 days to slow the spread. And then it turned into two years to slow the spread. And moms and dads were saying, ‘Look, I can’t afford to keep schooling my children at home through Zoom. We need to reopen the schools and I don’t want to send my six-year-old to school wearing a mask all day.'”

“And so this very natural anger about the way that schools were dealing with COVID really started the movement. And then, as parents saw what their kids were being taught in school, it became a movement about opposing Critical Race Theory, about opposing these radical sexual lessons in school, about standing up for parental rights and their ability to have a say about what kids are learning in the classroom.”

“So, Moms for Liberty is a very mainstream organization. It grew up in chapters across the country, but the SPLC has long been on the other side of those cultural issues,” O’Neil expanded.

“So when it comes to CRT, when it comes to transgender ideology, the SPLC has a program, now it’s called Learning for Justice. It was called Teaching Tolerance, where they pushed transgender ideology on children even as young as kindergarten. And they also advocated for what we would recognize as Critical Race Theory.”

Recall it was Tina Tchen, Michelle Obama’s chief of staff, who “pushed it under the rug. So nobody knows to this day how that scandal was really dealt with at the SPLC, whether it was dealt with at all.”

She co-founded the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund in 2017, in the wake of Harvey Weinstein sexual scandals, but had to quit. 

By 2021, finally admitting she was not the right person to lead the #MeToo movement, quit in the wake of revelations that leaders of her sexual harassment victims’ advocacy group advised former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration after he was accused of sexual misconduct.

Working with Deep State propagandists and mainstream media, they create and report the mantra, “Hate is increasing in America. We found 1,200 hate groups,” O’Neil exposes, but the reality is, “a lot of the number there are different chapters of one organization. So that’s how they can prop up their numbers and make it seem like hate is a lot bigger of a thing.”

Chick-fil-A

“In 2012, a man took a gun and a bag of Chick-fil-A sandwiches and went to the Family Research Council and decided he would try to shoot every single person in that building and smear a Chick-fil-A sandwich in their faces,” O’Neil said.

“This was when Chick-fil-A, the Chick-fil hate thing where the left was saying that Chick-fil-A was funding hate groups. And so thankfully he was stopped but when the FBI was questioning him, he said, ‘Look, I targeted them because Southern Poverty Law Center lists anti-gay groups and I thought I would go and kill everybody at one of these groups on the hate map.'”

During the Biden-Harris Administration, the FBI’S  Richmond office published a document where they were encouraging their agents to infiltrate Catholic churches because “they were connected to a radical traditional Catholic hate group. And for their information on this, they used none other than the Southern Poverty Law Center.”

It is interesting to note that the SPLC visited Biden at least a dozen times within his first 30 months in the White House.

By 2022, the organization reported having $711 million in assets and receiving more than $100 million in donations each year since 2019.

They have a history of playing a shell game with funds being wired to accounts in the Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, and Bermuda.

Staff Cuts

In June 2024, the SPLC Union issued a statement sharply criticizing the organization’s announcement they would be reducing staff by 60 workers.

“Today, the Southern Poverty Law Center — an organization with nearly a billion dollars in reserves, given an F rating by CharityWatch for ‘hoarding’ donations — gutted its staff by a quarter,” the union stated.

“The SPLC has added Turning Point to their ridiculous “hate group” list, right next to the KKK and neo-Nazis, a cheap smear from a washed-up org that’s been fleecing scared grandmas for decades,” Charlie Kirk announced this week. “They somehow still rake in over $100 million a year peddling their “hate map” nonsense, sitting pretty in their Montgomery “Poverty Palace” while crying about “hate” to line their pockets. Even former staffers called their racket a “con.”

“Their game plan? Scare financial institutions into debanking us, pressure schools to cancel us, and demonize us so some unhinged lunatic feels justified targeting us. Remember the Family Research Council? An SPLC-inspired gunman went after them. They’d love nothing more than to see TPUSA in the crosshairs.”

“But it’s 2025, and nobody with a functioning brain buys their garbage anymore. The SPLC is a laughingstock, a hollowed-out husk of an organization that’s been exposed as a grift time and time again. They’re not just irrelevant—they’re a cautionary tale of how to torch your own credibility. Maybe someone should take a hard look at where all that “nonprofit” money’s really going?”

“Being on their list is a badge of honor. It means they’re terrified that we’re so effective. Keep crying, SPLC—America’s done with your scam.”
