The Trump Department of Justice has indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center for 11 counts of fraud, and the indictment reveals a pattern of funding extreme right activities and protesters that some suggest demonstrates that the organization was operating in bad faith for years, smearing and defaming individuals while secretly engaged in promoting some of those same groups and activists behind the scenes.

The DOJ has released and published the full indictment against the SPLC, found here.

The indictment claims SPLC opened accounts in the names of entities like “Center Investigative Agency,” “Fox Photography,” “North West Technologies,” “Tech Writers Group,” and “Rare Books Warehouse,” and used those accounts to move money in ways that concealed the true source and purpose of the funds.

These fake front groups were used as money conduits for the SPLC to raise money from left-wing donors to fund extreme right-wing groups and also fund ‘agent provocateur’ activists who would, it is alleged, urge groups to engage in violent discussions and actions.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told the media: “The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence.”

Leftist former employees of the SPLC are whining at MSNBC that this is just “fake news.”

What the DOJ’s Southern Poverty Law Center indictment is really about

In August of 2017 the Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally was held in Charlottesville, Virginia bringing together free speech advocates and those who wanted to preserve a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee from destruction.

The DOJ indictment shows that the rally was partially planned by a long-time paid SPLC field operative.

The Gateway Pundit has reported, consistently over years, that the mainstream narrative about Charlottesville was consistently wrong.

TGP Publisher Jim Hoft immediately noted suspicious ‘coincidences’ about the key people filming the event and their many connections to the deep state government.

The background to the Charlottesville event that is typically ignored is that the Virginia City Council, taken over by far-left elements during that time, indicated it planned to seize and melt down the General Lee statue.

Those seeking to protest this decision were originally told they had to protest miles away from the statue in a field outside of town.

After federal litigation to be allowed to protest, pro-Lee protesters were allowed to gather and protest at the site of the statue.

Those organizing the effort were varied, but were generally on the political right. Less than a year after the first Trump election, those organizing the rally felt as though the cultural destruction brought by leftists across America in schools, against statues, and against traditional American values, was about to change.

Charlottesville organizer Jason Kessler told the Gateway Pundit that, among organizers, "I was excited because it felt like a groundbreaking free speech event.

And at the time, no one was standing up for white people in popular culture the way they are now. But, it was also kind of scary because we were getting so many threats from Antifa and there was real doubt about whether the police were going to be committed to maintaining safety at the event."

"Those turned out to be totally justified fears."

What they did not know, what they could not know, is that they were walking straight into a trap laid by professional left-wing organizers, the U.S. government, and elite interests to smear President Trump as a Nazi and to create the violence necessary to justify a major political crackdown.

Kessler further  tells the Gateway Pundit that he does not think that any well-known organizer on the right was the SPLC's paid operative, but rather, most likely, a 'nobody.'

"They describe the person as a 'leader' because they were in a 'leadership chat,' Kessler notes. "People are naming Richard Spencer, or me, or Heimbach, or whomever and it could be somebody totally out of left field who is unknown. They could be considering anything a "leadership chat," including a text message chain, a Facebook group, etc."

Kessler tells the Gateway Pundit he's not surprised that there was this level of infiltration and subversion by far-left groups.

"You just expect that this kind of thing is happening in far right politics because groups like the SPLC have ungodly amounts of money and infiltration is a very popular tactic among so-called 'anti-fascist researchers.' Many of the SPLC's top researchers, like Michael Edison Hayden, don't even attempt to disguise their affiliation with Antifa."

"I gave the entirety of the discord chats planning Charlottesville to the New York Post already. It's all pretty tame honestly. Just a bunch of nobodies working as a sounding board while I talk about coordinating with the police and the ACLU."

Kessler then provided a screenshot, linked below, in the planning chats for the Charlottesville event where planners were concerned with following the various laws on recording without consent outside, record phone calls legally, and to make sure they showed the police their protest permit.

The same Department of Justice that yesterday announced an indictment against the SPLC arrived in Charlottesville with its "Community Relations Service" team and set up shop to prosecute, harass, and interfere with the pro-Lee protesters.

The City of Charlottesville actually hired two national left-wing public relations firms, ready to demonize the protesters and further interfere in their constitutionally-protected protest.

After the protest, right wing organizers decided that public venues like this, simple political protests, were too great a liability for participants.

The effect of the extensive governmental harassment, backed up by left-wing private foundations and organizations, was to end the first amendment rights of right-wing protesters to peacefully assemble and express their grievances.

Yesterday the Trump Department of Justice announced federal wire fraud and mail fraud charges against the Southern Poverty Law Center, a Birmingham, Alabama based left-wing organization that 'tracks' and defames right-wing individuals nationwide.

In the indictment, the DOJ claims that the SPLC has been caught setting up front companies to route money to the Ku Klux Klan, various other extreme right groups, and specifically gave over $270,000 over 7 years to one of the key organizers for the 2017 Charlottesville rally.

"What I don't think many have well-understood is how this effort to plan and entrap thousands of activists in 2017 was a precursor to January 6th, and has become a deep state playbook for trying to do mass arrests, political prosecutions, and persecutions writ large," said Warren Balogh, who is a long-time pro-white activist and hosts a podcast called "Warstrike.".

"What the SPLC is doing is criminal. To add to the organized state harassment, spying, disruption, criminalization, lawfare and media demonization, censorship, social media deplatforming, debanking, job loss, economic blacklisting, etc must now also be added criminal acts by paid informants hired privately by large leftist donors and their nonprofits," Balogh said.

"When I watched the DOJ press conference, it made me realize that the government and these groups have been systemically undermining and targeting pro-white activism for generations. If you care about the white race, you have the full legal apparatatus of the government and this mafia-like syndicate using illegal methods coming after you."

Balogh sued the City of Charlottesville on a theory that police did not have the right to protect one group from violence at a protest while letting the other group be victimized and hurt.

The Court of Appeals denied his appeal, essentially saying that the law doesn't apply to Nazis, and does not require equal protection of the laws. Balogh says he is not a Nazi. The Supreme Court declined to accept his appeal.

By refusing to review the case, the judiciary has said it was acceptable for the City of Charlottesville police to selectively enforce the criminal law: letting left-wing protesters hurt right-wing protesters while also prohibiting the opposite.

The left can get away with unlimited violent assault but the political right cannot congregate publicly even when they have a permit.

The Gateway Pundit was sued in 2017 by Brennan Gilmore, who sued, among others, Alex Jones and other conservative media outlets.

In the suit, Gilmore said that he was falsely accused of being a 'deep state shill' by this publication and others. Gilmore was the campaign manager for Tom Pieriello, who ran for Virginia Governor and then went on to lead George Soros' 'Open Society Foundations.'

Gilmore was on leave from the State Department as a Foreign Service Officer. Gilmore was also the one who recorded video footage of James Fields crashing his car into other cars which caused the death of Heather Heyer from a heart attack.

Gilmore then took that footage and uploaded it to Twitter in the apartment of two of his friends, who were law clerks for the Clinton-appointed federal judge that would oversee many of the Charlottesville cases: Norman K. Moon.

Judge Moon disallowed any discovery by right-wing defendants or parties, even discovery requests that were identical to the discovery requested by left-wing entities.

The courts allowed nearly limitless discovery into right-wing groups, vacuuming up names, emails, contact information that was later leaked and allowed to be used to fire individual rally participants.

One rally participant noted to the Gateway Pundit that he was fired after a day working for Taco Bell as a line cook because, he said, the company in an official certified letter said that he did not match their "corporate values."

Other rally participants were similarly hounded from jobs, graduate programs, not for engaging in any violence but simply for attending the Charlottesville rally.

The DOJ indictment suggests that this civil conspiracy, partially empowered by the Southern Poverty Law Center, helped to fund the extremism that was later used as a dragnet to capture these Americans exercising their free speech rights so that they could be punished by left-wing academia and corporate America.

The Gateway Pundit revealed in 2021 that drone footage from the day-of the event showed that the violence was almost all exclusively left-on-right violence, and the police were notably ignoring left-wing violence against right-wing protesters.

Charlottesville organizer Jason Kessler wrote a book about the event, "Charlottesville and the Death of Free Speech."

In the book, Kessler says he proves decision-makers in the Charlottesville and Virginia government, intentionally sabotaged the rally and then destroyed critical evidence in a desperate cover-up of the truth.

In 2019, the Southern Poverty Law Center had a reported $500 million plus in assets that it was not using to fulfill its mission and purpose, leading some elected leaders to call for it to lose its tax-exempt status.

The funds, placed offshore in notorious tax-havens, raised scrutiny as to its fundraising practices.

The SPLC also receives considerable funding from law enforcement agencies in various 'partnerships' where the organization's defamatory 'intelligence' briefings are bought by police departments.

The organization also comes in for 'trainings' that are also paid for by the police. In this way, critics of the organizations have argued that its defamatory-industrial complex has become an arm and appendage of national law enforcement and national intelligence agencies.

President Donald Trump took aim at the Supreme Court on Wednesday, accusing the nation’s highest court of already being stacked against his agenda.

In a lengthy Wednesday post on the Truth Social social media platform, Trump blasted the justices in no uncertain terms.

While predicting the court would rule against him on birthright citizenship, he wrote, “How can the Democrats not like how the U.S. Supreme Court votes?”

“The Democrat Justices stick together like glue, NEVER failing to wander from the warped and perverse policies, ideas, and cases put before them,” he added. “They ALWAYS vote as a group, or BLOCK.”

He then criticized the lack of unity among Republican-appointed justices.

“The Republican Justices don’t stick together, they give the Democrats win after win,” he said.

“The Democrats don’t need to pack the Supreme Court.

It’s already packed!”
—President Trump

Trump pointed specifically to the court ruling against his administration on the use of emergency powers to impose sweeping tariffs in February.

That decision was a 6-3 ruling that Trump framed as a major financial blow to the American people.

“Handing over 159 Billion Dollars in Tariff refunds… is unexplainable,” he wrote. “It is a travesty!”

The president also turned his attention to Trump v. Barbara, the pending case involving birthright citizenship.

Oral arguments earlier this month signaled skepticism from several justices appointed by Trump or other Republicans.

Trump said he expects the court to continue to allow countries such as China to take advantage of birthright citizenship, which grants citizenship to almost all children born on U.S. soil.

“If they rule against our Country on Birthright Citizenship, which they probably will, it will be even worse,” he wrote.

“It will cost America massive amounts of money but, more importantly, it will cost America its DIGNITY!”

Trump concluded by noting ongoing threats from Democrats to pack the court with four more liberals.

Democrats’ calls to expand the court from nine to 13 justices have increased in recent years, which Trump dismissed as completely unnecessary.

“No, the Radical Left Democrats don’t need to ‘Pack the Court,’” he wrote. “It’s already Packed!”

Democratic candidates are raising more money than Republicans in several key 2026 races, but Republican-aligned groups hold a major overall advantage in available cash.

Federal Election Commission filings reviewed by The New York Times show GOP committees and allied groups have about $843.6 million on hand, compared to $243 million for Democrats.

After accounting for debts, this means the GOP has a $600 million advantage going into November.

The advantage is concentrated at the party and super PAC level.

The Republican National Committee reported $116.8 million in cash, while the Democratic National Committee showed a $4.5 million deficit.

MAGA Inc., a super PAC aligned with President Donald Trump, holds about $347.8 million.

Its Democratic counterpart, Future Forward, has been less active this cycle despite heavy spending in 2024.

The filings also do not include funds held by nonprofit groups that can transfer money into campaigns.

In addition, political groups tied to cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence sectors have an estimated $232 million available.

Republicans could also benefit if the Supreme Court allows party committees to coordinate more closely with candidates, which would expand how funds are deployed.

As it stands, current polling does not point to a good night for Republicans in November.

According to latest the RealClearPolling average, Democrats hold a 5.9 point lead on the generic congressional ballot, with only 34.2 percent of Americans believing the country is going in the right direction.

WATCH: “Weak, Pathetic Little Men” to Blame for UK Immigration Crisis, Warns Nick Buckley

In an exclusive interview on The Patriot Perspective, British community leader and activist Nick Buckley did not hold back in describing what he sees as the driving force behind Britain’s worsening immigration crisis: failed leadership and a complete lack of political courage.

Buckley, a longtime community figure in the UK, argued that the crisis facing Britain today is not simply the result of high migration numbers, but the product of years of weak decision-making at the highest levels of government. 

His criticism was direct and unmistakable, pointing to what he described as “weak, pathetic little men” in leadership positions who have refused to enforce laws, secure borders, or even address the issue honestly.

According to Buckley, the consequences of those decisions are now visible across the country.

Local communities are facing increased strain on housing, public services, and infrastructure, while ordinary citizens are left dealing with the fallout. 

He emphasized that the issue extends beyond policy failures and reflects a deeper unwillingness among political leaders to prioritize national stability over short-term political calculations.

Buckley also highlighted the broader cultural and political environment that, in his view, has allowed the crisis to grow unchecked.

Open discussion about immigration, he argued, is often shut down or dismissed by the Left, making it difficult to confront the scale of the problem. 

That reluctance, Buckley said, has only made matters worse, as leaders avoid accountability while conditions continue to deteriorate.

Importantly, Buckley’s criticism was not limited to one party. He pointed to a pattern of inaction across the political spectrum, arguing that successive governments have had opportunities to fix the system but instead chose to delay meaningful reform. 

The result, he warned, is a situation that is becoming increasingly difficult to reverse.

At the same time, Buckley made clear that solutions do exist—but only if leadership is willing to act. He called for stronger border enforcement, clearer immigration standards, and a renewed focus on policies that prioritize the interests of British citizens. 

Without those changes, he suggested, the current trajectory will continue to put pressure on institutions and deepen divisions within the country.

The interview offers a stark look at one of the most contentious issues in modern British politics, delivered in terms that leave little room for ambiguity. 

The issue facing the United Kingdom closely parallels developments in the United States, where large-scale immigration from developing countries has accelerated in recent years.

While the scale and impact differ between the two countries, the underlying challenges—particularly around integration and public resource use—remain central to the policy debate. 

In the United States, concerns focus on assimilation rates and the strain on social programs, while in the United Kingdom, the pace and volume of migration have intensified these pressures to levels many did not anticipate.

Buckley’s message is simple: the crisis did not emerge overnight, and it will not be resolved without a fundamental shift in how leaders approach immigration.
