For decades, a handful of powerful left-wing nonprofits have crowned themselves America’s moral authorities, self-appointed judges of who counts as hateful and who deserves to be destroyed. Corporations, government agencies, and newsrooms have swallowed their pronouncements without question — blacklisting conservative and Christian organizations on command. Nobody with any real power ever stopped to ask the obvious question: what exactly is going on inside these organizations?
Well, now we know. And honestly, it’s staggering. What federal prosecutors have laid bare isn’t some minor bookkeeping scandal or a rogue employee gone sideways. This is an alleged criminal enterprise — one that shoveled millions of dollars to the very white supremacist groups it told donors it was fighting, then turned around and used those same groups as a cudgel against mainstream conservative Americans.
From The Post Millennial:
A new report has revealed that the Southern Poverty Law Center employee who had a romantic relationship with a “field source” who was allegedly paid by the SPLC for over 20 years and was part of the neo-Nazi group National Alliance is believed to be Heidi Beirich, a top employee at the nonprofit between 2012 and 2019.
The employee is listed only as “Employee-2” in the superseding indictment, and is described as a “person who would become Director of the SPLC’s Intelligence Project.” The indictment accuses the SPLC of funneling donor money to extremist groups in the US, with funds being used for things such as KKK robes and hats, rallies, and living expenses.
Read that again, slowly. The woman who ran the SPLC’s Intelligence Project — the division responsible for slapping “hate group” labels on churches, parent groups, and policy organizations — allegedly shared a house and bank accounts with a neo-Nazi informant. The New York Post identified her as Beirich based on details in the federal indictment. Prosecutors say $1.2 million in donor money flowed to this informant over twenty years. Roughly $140,000 ended up in joint bank accounts she shared with him. That figure represented 66% of all deposits into those accounts. Two-thirds. She then allegedly used that donor money to cover the couple’s personal living expenses — while collecting $190,000 a year in salary.
It gets worse. The informant allegedly broke into National Alliance headquarters and made off with 25 boxes of documents. Beirich then reportedly used those stolen materials to pen a 2015 article for the SPLC’s “Hatewatch” blog. And the cover-up? The SPLC allegedly paid a second informant $6,000 to take the blame for the burglary. An anti-hate nonprofit orchestrating break-ins. You truly cannot make this up.
A business model built on manufactured hate
Here’s the critical thing to understand: this wasn’t one bad apple. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel announced charges against the SPLC itself — wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering conspiracy — for pumping over $4 million to extremist organizations it was simultaneously denouncing on its own website.
Consider the sheer brazenness. By 2013, the National Alliance had withered to about 20 members. Twenty. The group was effectively dead. Yet the very next year, the SPLC cranked out nearly a dozen articles about this zombie organization — propping up a corpse to justify its obscene $800 million fundraising empire.
National Alliance chairman William White Williams said it plainly: “I think some of those cluckers wanted to get out of the movement and they went to the SPLC for help. But instead of helping them, the SPLC said, ‘Why don’t you stay in and get paid?’”
Blood on their hands
The real cost of this racket isn’t measured in dollars alone. On August 15, 2012, a gunman named Floyd Lee Corkins II stormed the Family Research Council’s Washington headquarters and shot building manager Leo Johnson. Corkins later told investigators exactly why he picked that target: “Southern Poverty Law lists anti-gay groups. I found them online.”
The SPLC put a target on a Christian organization’s back. A man walked in with a gun. The FRC has since shelled out $8 million on heightened security because of a label the SPLC pinned on them.
FRC President Tony Perkins nailed the game for what it is. The SPLC was “fattening them up, keeping them alive so that they could use them for their bigger political purpose, and that was to help the left advance their agenda by marginalizing and silencing conservative groups.”
Time to pull the plug
Enough. This organization does not deserve a restructuring plan. It does not deserve new leadership or a consent decree. The SPLC must be shut down permanently. An institution that allegedly bankrolled neo-Nazis, inspired a terrorist attack on a Christian workplace, orchestrated burglaries and cover-ups, and hoarded three-quarters of a billion dollars built on donor deception has surrendered any claim to legitimacy it ever possessed.
For years, the SPLC told America it was standing guard against hatred. The indictment tells a different story. The guard was running the racket.
Key Takeaways
- SPLC’s former Intelligence Project director allegedly funneled $1.2 million in donor money to her neo-Nazi lover.
- Federal prosecutors have charged the SPLC with wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering conspiracy.
- The SPLC’s “hate group” label directly inspired a 2012 terrorist attack on a Christian organization.
- The SPLC should be permanently shut down — not reformed, not restructured, but dissolved.
