DOJ: SPLC Paid For Wood And Gas For KKK To Burn Crosses
The excerpt discusses claims in a superseding indictment filed by federal prosecutors against the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). It highlights that the government alleges individuals identified as members of extremist groups-labeled “F-31” and “F-32”-are alleged Ku klux Klan members funded by the SPLC.
The piece further claims prosecutors allege the SPLC, despite presenting itself as an anti-hate organization, paid for Klan-related items and activities, including robes and supplies like lumber and gas used to build and burn crosses. It notes that the SPLC has due process rights and the presumption of innocence, but argues that if prosecutors prove the allegations in court, it could lead to significant controversy over the SPLC’s role and its funding. It also mentions that prominent figures such as George Soros and George Clooney are said to have supported the SPLC, implying they may have indirectly funded the alleged Klan support.
the passage presents the indictment as an “extraordinary” allegation requiring attention, while emphasizing that the charges are still subject to proof in court.
This will be quick, and it’s a detail we’ve already mentioned, but the most extraordinary allegation in the superseding indictment filed Tuesday by federal prosecutors against the Southern Poverty Law Center demands a screenshot so you can see it with your own eyes. In the indictment, people labeled with the letter F and a number are members of extremist organizations who were allegedly funded by the SPLC, so F-31 and F-32 are alleged members of the Ku Klux Klan:
The government is alleging that the SPLC, which presents itself as America’s foremost anti-hate organization, quite literally funded Klan robes, and also paid for lumber and gas so the Klan could make crosses and burn them.
The SPLC has due process rights, and is entitled to the presumption of innocence. But if prosecutors can support these allegations in court with convincing evidence, we’ll need to strap ourselves in for the ride on the narrative rollercoaster.
The SPLC has been generously supported by leftist grandees like George Soros and George Clooney. If the new indictment is correct, they were paying for Klan robes and cross-burnings.
