The United States Department of Justice’s (DoJ) decision indict the scam known as “The Southern Poverty Law Center” (SPLC) following the return of a grand jury is a beautiful victory for race relations – one that supports the encouraging findings revealed in Institute of Race Relations’ (IRR) latest report authored by Hermann Pretorius, and aligns with other recent polling published by the Social Research Foundation (SRF).
One of the most menacing institutions in the world, who deceived it for decades into believing it was just a progressive civil rights advocacy, is now almost certainly cooked, its scam artists hopefully prosecuted and its supporters embarrassed, leaving the sensible world with one less demonic division.
The SPLC and organizations like it – who all enjoy substantial failing legacy media support and trust – have inflicted great damage upon human relationships, poisoned academia, influenced government policy to degrees they were not entitled to and unleashed the sadistic activism witnessed in places like Portland, Oregon. For the US DoJ, it marks a shiny accomplishment – the organ having failed so chronically to make justice available to victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his friends thus far.
A type of reality suspension is required to examine the indictment against the SPLC. According to the DoJ, the SPLC secretly paid millions of dollars to the handful of supremacist agitators it could find, then financed hate campaigns including marches (one of which is alleged to be the infamous 2017 Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally) – the principle being that if no organic hatred can be located, then the synthetic must be created – invariably to maintain donations supporting the organization’s ludicrous annual operating expenses of over $100m.
I’ve met someone smeared by the SPLC – a nice guy called Maajid Nawaz, who was an angry radical in his youth before starting the Quillium Foundation, that sought to interrupt the drift of impressionable young men into Islamism. In 2018, he sued the SPLC for labelling him “anti-Muslim extremist” in a hate report. The ordinarily tough-talking, platitudinal SPLC blinked, settling for $3.4m.
Obviously, Nawaz was then attacked – for being attacked – by the oversupply of unhappy researchers, many of them liberal UK women, profiles inside the UK’s conservative party and The Middle East Eye, a magazine suspected of being funded by the government of Qatar.
Nawaz’s encounter pointed me in the direction of a documentary about the sinister pathogen. One scene featured an SPLC lead researcher, a creature called Mark Potok. While feigning alarm for * My Family’s Safety * from some obscure threat (now, reliably, his own organization) the camera panned to handwritten notes on the wall behind him, where he kept a record of the country’s declining white population. These are sick, sick people.
So to dismiss them as just filthy smear merchants gorging at the vulnerabilities of generous, sometimes coerced patrons is a foolish underestimation: the ruin of the SPLC is commensurate with a climate narrative corrupted by net zero or economics corrupted by quantitative easing. In addition to destroying the lives of ordinary people by getting them fired (the vast majority of which you’ll never hear about), they promoted hideous societal disorder by blunt social engineering classification – reducing groups to their own biases or fantasies – then projected them in ways designed to appeal to sympathy, guilt or hysteria.
Unfortunately, one country will not enjoy the benefits of an SPLC-less world: the UK.
Alabama, where the SPLC hails from and one of America’s most impoverished states, now holds a higher GDP per capita (PPP) than the UK – but it will unlikely take any satisfaction from that country poaching the theories and practises conceived by its most poisonous inhabitant. Following riots that torched American cities in 2020, the UK – bizarrely – volunteered itself as especially susceptible to SPLC logic, in other words, it appeared to want its conscience corrupted.
The result was endless pandering and processions of inquiries leading to a morale deficit, probably one of the foundations of today’s prevailing misery. Anti-racism training, solidarity and ally classes, privilege workshops, black-only memberships in government institutions, “affirmative actions”, history months and diversity counselling suddenly bulged through the nation’s complexion like unwelcome carbuncles scarring fault lines into the national interest. The cowardly government of the day didn’t just refuse to stick its fingers in the dikes; it complimented SPLC logic by supporting the persecution of people for speech violations – efforts, no doubt, to appear right-on.
The minority unmaimed now have to live with the consequences – a fate split between the narrowing of the English mind, the torching of actual history and a present, schizophrenic political environment. A researcher working for UK’s SPLC-equivalent, Hope not Hate, was recently issued a suspended sentence for sexual offences involving a minor girl. Add justice to the list of casualties.
But just as quickly as supportive corporations and mentally-impaired celebrities and well-meaning (but dumb) academics look away in horror from the DoJ’s indictment, so are we swamped with denial. Liberal media organisations are scrambling to equivocate and excuse the SPLC; Bluesky today (all 192 of its users) resembles a hen do atrocity in Blackpool – screaming and streaked mascara and heavy-set girls (and men) scraping the skin off each other’s faces, the insatiable lust for a racist world that doesn’t exist.
Prosecution isn’t enough. SPLC-adjacent scams – wherever they may be – who have intentionally positioned unnatural obstacles in the way of instinctive cohesion must also be relentlessly exposed and shamed, their funding stripped and their researchers sacked. That includes media organizations and academic institutions who insist on advancing race hoaxes or perpetuating the “social justice” editorial policy – used only as succour for grievance, to disguise insults, scold, virtue signal or influence brazenly elitist policy.
Within everyone, the unmistakable curiosity: “what if I have more in common with my neighbour than I have been led to believe?” That the prospect of locating moderation or decency or similar aspiration sits deeper than the paranoia constructed by things like the ANC’s refusal to address violent crime, or fashionable outrage on London’s streets, or alarmist messaging or a temptation to despair provoked by sick organizations and their parasitic extensions, still – still – can’t deny its existence, or diminish its potential.
