Manufacturing Hate for Profit
The Allegations Against the SPLC
Manufacturing Hate for Profit
By Mark Fellows
Why did the FBI begin infiltrating traditional masses and talking about “radical traditionalist Catholics?” Why did the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) suspect these same Catholics of belonging to hate groups and being domestic terrorists? Answer: because both federal agencies were relying on propaganda fed them by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).
Since 1971 the SPLC has postured as a valiant left-wing non-profit fighting the good fight against racism, bigotry, and other bad things. The fight included defaming traditional Catholics as belonging to “hate groups.” Many reputable traditional Catholic organizations were smeared, including Catholic Family News and its former editor, John Vennari. Also smeared by the SPLC was the SSPX and other traditional American Catholics viewed by the Biden administration as “dangerous extremists.”
Now we discover the SPLC gave much more money to the KKK and Nazi groups than the SSPX or any traditional Catholic did. On April 21, 2026, a federal grand jury in Alabama returned an 11-count indictment against the SPLC for wire fraud, making false statements to banks, and conspiring to commit money laundering.
These are serious charges. Each count of wire fraud carries up to 20 years in prison and $1 million in fines. The money laundering conspiracy could result in another 20 years, severe fines, and the possible forfeiture of all ill-gotten gains. SPLC is taking this seriously. When their employees were deposed for the grand jury they pled the Fifth Amendment 146 times.
The indictments allege that from 2014 to 2023 the SPLC created fake bank accounts they used to secretly funnel over $3 million to extremist groups (KKK, Aryan Nation, etc). Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the SPLC is “manufacturing racism to justify its existence.”
