The Southern Poverty Law Center. The SPLC.

A group that built an empire convincing America that racism was lurking behind every mailbox, hiding in every church pew, and apparently waiting behind every Cracker Barrel menu.

For decades these people have operated the most successful race-based subscription service in modern history. Netflix charges you monthly to watch movies. The SPLC charges donors to watch imaginary Nazis.

And now we discover that one of their top intelligence officials allegedly helped funnel $1.2 million in donor money to a white supremacist informant.

Wait. It gets better.

The alleged white supremacist wasn't just some random source.

According to reports, he was allegedly her lover.

You can't make this stuff up.

The organization that made a fortune screaming, "The racists are everywhere!" apparently found one and said, "Come over for dinner."

This is why I always tell people that Leftism isn't an ideology. It's performance art funded by gullible people.

The SPLC has spent years publishing hate maps.

They've labeled conservatives, Christians, family organizations, immigration reform groups, and anybody who believes men shouldn't compete against women in sports as potential extremists.

Their business model was simple:

Find racism.

If you can't find racism, rent it.

If you still can't find it, finance it.

Apparently that's where we are now.

According to the indictment, the Department of Justice alleges donor money was funneled toward people connected to groups the SPLC was simultaneously telling donors they were combating.

That is the political equivalent of a mosquito control company breeding mosquitoes in the basement.

Imagine donating to a fire department only to discover they're running a side hustle selling gasoline and flame throwers.

The comedy writes itself.

The organization that spent decades warning America about infiltration was allegedly infiltrated by its own leadership.

The group that claimed expertise on extremism somehow couldn't detect it sitting across the breakfast table.

And let's talk about the irony.

The figure identified in reports is described as someone who became Director of the Intelligence Project.

The Intelligence Project.

That's like discovering the head of Weight Watchers owns three Krispy Kremes and a private chocolate refinery.

Intelligence Project?
