Is This The Worst Political Psy-Op In Modern History?

If you’ve ever thought that everything is a giant psy-op — that major events, the kind that dictate the course of American politics, are all fake and engineered — then the news that broke yesterday was as close to a total vindication as you’ll ever get. On the other hand, if you thought that “Color Revolutions” only happen overseas — and that America is immune from successful campaigns of mass deception, all orchestrated by corrupt political actors to mimic natural, grassroots events — then this is a story you need to hear.

The “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, was supposedly the defining moment of Donald Trump’s first term in office. That’s what we were told, relentlessly, for years on end, by both political parties, along with every mainstream media outlet in the country. It was a “mask-off moment,” in which neo-Nazis — emboldened by Donald Trump — violently rioted in the streets, killing an innocent woman in the process. And, we were told, Donald Trump endorsed these neo-Nazis, live on national television, calling them “very fine people.” That’s what Joe Biden said when he launched his campaign for president — and about ten million times after that. The rally was definitive proof that white supremacy was alive and well in the United States.

All of corporate America lined up to push this message. Shortly after the “Unite the Right” rally, Apple announced a $2 million donation to so-called “anti-hate groups,” including SPLC. The CEO, Tim Cook, declared that “Hate is a cancer, and left unchecked it destroys everything in its path.” JPMorgan Chase and the Clooney Foundation did the same thing. In fact, JPMorgan’s CEO, Jamie Dimon, said that the company would match employee donations to the SPLC. He also disbanded an advisory panel to the president, for reasons that were never clear. But the SPLC got exactly what it wanted — they isolated the president, they demonized conservatives, and they received millions of donations. And they never stopped. They kept hammering the “Unite the Right” narrative, and they kept fundraising off it.

In fact, five days before Charlottesville, Cam Higby reports that SPLC received $375,000 from the state of Alabama. So this is an extremely well-funded group, with money coming in from everyone — including the taxpayers, apparently.

This continued for years. The Left was obsessed with Charlottesville, as you probably remember. It’s the hoax that simply never died. You can make the case that it lasted longer than Russiagate. Four years after Biden’s campaign video, in 2024, Kamala Harris again invoked Charlottesville on the debate stage.

Every single aspect of this narrative, as told by every media outlet and by every prominent politician in Washington, was a lie. We’ve known that for some time. Trump didn’t endorse white supremacy; in fact, he explicitly did the opposite. And contrary to what CNN would have you believe, you don’t have to be a neo-Nazi to oppose the removal of Robert E. Lee’s statue. You simply have to be an American — someone who’s interested in preserving our shared history and venerating our national heroes, rather than defaming them. That describes most of the people who attended this rally. 

But there was one aspect of the rally that, to give left-wing activists some credit, was difficult for conservatives to explain away. There were indeed photographs of several men at the “Unite the Right” rally, some of them carrying Nazi flags. And a couple of them even yelled, “Jews will not replace us,” which was considered offensive to Leftists until about fifteen minutes ago. And it was difficult for some conservatives, in the face of that photographic and video evidence, to deny that — at some level — this rally was organized, or at least popular with, a group of neo-Nazis on the Right. 

Of course, the appropriate response from conservatives — even if that were true — would be to completely ignore the outrage. The presence of a small number of people waving Nazi flags is not a national crisis, even if they’re genuine Nazis. We’re a country of more than 340 million people. If we’re going to allow five guys with Nazi flags to derail our entire political discourse, then we’re never going to accomplish anything. We’re also going to create an enormous incentive for the Left to wave Nazi flags around, and blame them on the Right — which, it appears, is exactly what happened.

There’s now very good reason to believe that, at Charlottesville, what we saw was the product of a deliberate, engineered effort to destroy the image of Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Again, back in 2017, a claim like that would seem pretty far-fetched to most people. After all, what are the odds that a well-funded left-wing group, aligned with the Democrat Party, would actually pay people to act like Nazis at this small rally in Charlottesville, Virginia? What are the odds that, actually, the entire event was a psy-op engineered from the beginning, to give Democrats a pretext to wage war against “white supremacy,” which, of course, actually means “white people” and “conservatism” in general?

Well, the odds were pretty good, as it turns out. Last night, the DOJ released an indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center, or SPLC, saying it funded and supported an individual who was closely involved in coordinating the “Unite the Right” rally. And not only that — SPLC was funding (directly or indirectly) a lot of other supposedly “right-wing extremism,” including the KKK. Yes, according to the DOJ, the SPLC — the Left’s preferred “anti-hate group” — was apparently paying affiliates of the KKK. 

Watch:

Todd Blanche lays it out: The Southern Poverty Law Center “was doing the exact opposite of what it’s told its donors it was doing. Not dismantling extremism, but funding it.”

Before we go into the specifics of the indictment — If you’re not familiar with the SPLC, they’re one of the most dishonest and dangerous left-wing organizations in the entire country. They exist to provide a pretext for the censorship and harassment of conservatives, with the goal of destroying their lives. They also hate Americans, particularly white Americans.

Take a look at this video, featuring Mark Potok, who worked with the SPLC at the time. On the wall, you may notice a handwritten note documenting the decline of America’s “non-hispanic white population”.

They zoom in, really close, on the numbers there. White people accounted for 90% of the population in 1920, and only 62% in 2015. To the SPLC, this is a victory. They are one of the main engines of demographic replacement. Their goal is to demonize white people and claim that white supremacy is the greatest domestic threat, for the purpose of eliminating — or at least greatly diminishing — the white population.

To give just one example of how they operate, the SPLC put Turning Point USA on its “hate group” list shortly before Charlie Kirk was murdered. 

Here’s what Charlie wrote at the time, in May of last year.

The SPLC has added Turning Point to their ridiculous “hate group” list, right next to the KKK and neo-Nazis. … Even former staffers called their racket a “con.” Their game plan? Scare financial institutions into debanking us, pressure schools to cancel us, and demonize us so some unhinged lunatic feels justified targeting us. Remember the Family Research Council? An SPLC-inspired gunman went after them. They’d love nothing more than to see TPUSA in the crosshairs. … Maybe someone should take a hard look at where all that “nonprofit” money’s really going?

Now we’re finally discovering where the money went. Charlie also went on Fox to report that SPLC had targeted specific Turning Point chapters on college campuses.

In addition to the Family Research Council, which Charlie mentioned, the SPLC has also defamed the Federalist Society, PragerU, the Heritage Foundation, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the Foundation to Abolish Abortion, and so on. They’ve targeted me as well, in their effort to de-monetize my channel and get me fired or killed.

You can take a look at my profile on their website here:

Screenshot: SPLC

As you can see, I’m listed under “GENERAL HATE” and “ANTI-LGBTQ.”

And at first, I admit I was a little offended. If you’re going to claim I’m a hateful person, then you should be able to point out, specifically, how I’m hateful. But if you say someone is just “generally hateful,” you’re painting a broad brush — one that I would argue is pretty unfair, under the circumstances. I mean, give me some credit here. My hatred is actually pretty specific. But then a few people pointed out that “General Hate” might actually be my rank. So if I’m “General Hate,” that would put me above Major Hate and Lieutenant Colonel Hate — in which case I rescind my complaint and gladly accept this prestigious title. In fact, I may need to add it to my bio next to “theocratic fascist” and “children’s author.” 

In any event, this is a direct quote from the DOJ’s indictment, concerning the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The indictment refers to a number of “F’s,” which is short for “field sources.”

Between at least 2014 and 2023, the SPLC paid their Fs in a clandestine manner. Doing so hid the fact that while the SPLC received donation money under the auspices that the funds would be used to “dismantle” violent extremist groups, this donation money was, instead, being used, in part, by the SPLC to pay leaders and others within these same violent extremist groups. That money was then used for the benefit of the individuals as well as the violent extremist groups. … Between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC secretly funneled more than $3 million in SPLC funds to Fs who were associated with various violent extremist groups. … Examples of Fs who were secretly paid by the SPLC include, but are not limited to the following: F-37 was a member of the online leadership chat group that planned the 2017 ‘Unite the Right’ event in Charlottesville, Virginia and attended the event at the direction of the SPLC. F-37 made racist postings under the supervision of the SPLC and helped coordinate transportation to the event for several attendees. Between 2015 and 2023, the SPLC secretly paid F-37 more than $270,000.00.

Yes, according to this indictment, the SPLC paid more than a quarter-million dollars to one person who coordinated the “Unite the Right rally,” and made racist posts under SPLC’s supervision. That’s a small fraction of the $3 million that the SPLC is accused of paying to fund various extremists in other groups. What this means is that, if the DOJ’s indictment is accurate, the SPLC is probably the single greatest funder of “white supremacy” in the entire country. No one else is paying this kind of money to fund white nationalist rallies, which is why the SPLC had to do it themselves.

What needs to be emphasized here is that, fundamentally, the SPLC is not some random one-off left-wing activist group. They are a wing of the Democrat Party in charge of engineering domestic Color Revolutions with fraudulent narratives that they invent out of thin air, for the purpose of overthrowing conservative administrations and replacing them with Leftists. Then, once the Leftists are in charge, SPLC starts writing memos that the FBI uses to justify violent crackdowns on conservatives.

For example, a couple of years ago, the FBI field office in Richmond declared that Catholics were a domestic terror threat.

Here’s what the FBI wrote.

FBI Richmond assesses the increasingly observed interest of racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists in radical-traditionalist Catholic (RTC) ideology almost certainly presents opportunities for threat mitigation through the exploration of new avenues for tripwire and source development. … As of 2021, the Southern Poverty Law Center identified nine RTC hate groups operating in the United States.

See how this works? It’s very similar to Russiagate.

The FBI’s allies in a left-wing group write some memo, and then the FBI will cite that memo as if it’s an independent justification to launch an investigation. Meanwhile, inside the FBI, agents were writing emails about how insane it was that the SPLC was dictating the FBI’s activities.

Here’s one of those emails, where FBI employees react to the designation of some Catholics as a hate group, at the behest of the SPLC.

One FBI employee writes:

Ummm, that is interesting, several thoughts, but mostly, who is the customer. Is anyone really asking for a product like this? Apparently we are at the behest of the SPLC.

And then an agent replies:

Yeah, our overreliance on the SPLC for hate designations is .. problematic.

But the rank-and-file agents don’t have any power. The people running the government — the Biden administration at the time — knew that the SPLC was manufacturing “hate groups.” That was the whole point. The more “hate groups” that the Left could manufacture, the easier it would be for Joe Biden to take the stage in front of a blood-red background, flanked by Marines, and declare that Republicans represented a threat to the Republic.

Watch:

This speech laid the groundwork for the FBI’s attacks on religious liberty, including predawn SWAT team raids on peaceful pro-life demonstrators. It also laid the groundwork for the campaign of lawfare against Donald Trump, which had no precedent in American history.

People are more willing to accept an authoritarian takeover when you convince them that their opponents are really domestic terrorists. This is why Biden and Merrick Garland declared that “white supremacy” was the greatest domestic terror threat facing the country. All of their messaging was in sync with the SPLC.

That’s why, according to the DOJ, the SPLC’s efforts went far beyond the “Unite the Right” rally. This is also from the DOJ’s indictment, about another field source for the SPLC.

F-9 was affiliated with the neo-Nazi organization, the National Alliance and served as an F for the SPLC for more than 20 years. F-9’s activities included fundraising for the National Alliance. Between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC secretly paid F-9 more than $1,000,000.00..

So if we’re following this allegation, the SPLC paid a million dollars to someone who was “affiliated with a neo-Nazi organization.” And then this informant, in turn, raised money for the neo-Nazi organization. So, according to this indictment, the SPLC was going out of its way to ensure that a neo-Nazi group remained in existence. At the same time, they were calling for the eradication of “right-wing hate,” they were doing everything in their power to fund neo-Nazis. And it was clear why they wanted to do that. 

Take a look at this screenshot from the SPLC’s website. 

SPLC

The caption reads, “The Department of Homeland Security posted this image with the caption “Which Way, American Man?” in August 2025. The caption appears to be a reference to a white nationalist book published by the National Alliance, a neo-Nazi hate group.”

See how this works? The SPLC wants groups like the National Alliance to exist, so that they can accuse the Trump administration of associating with them. Meanwhile, the SPLC doesn’t tell you that, in secret, they’re not simply associating with these groups — they’re funding them. 

And according to the indictment, this happened all the time. 

The SPLC [funnelled] more than $160,000.00 from a fictitious entity to F-11 who then sent funds to various violent extremist group leaders including the former Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.

It’s the kind of strategy that’s effective because, unless you’re extremely familiar with how depraved left-wing activists are, it would never occur to you that they’re doing any of this. But they feel a need to do it, because otherwise, there would be no right-wing “hate groups.” If the SPLC didn’t fund them, they wouldn’t exist. And then Democrats would lose power, and the SPLC would run out of money.

It’s the same reason your anti-virus software bugs you all the time. If your anti-virus software told you the truth — which is that you really don’t need to pay for anti-virus software anymore — then obviously no one would subscribe. So instead, they pester you with fake “threats” and scare tactics. It’s the same principle, except in the case of the SPLC, they were having a substantial effect on American politics.

The more you read this indictment, the more you realize how shameless it was. 

According to the DOJ, the SPLC was paying the same Klan members it was complaining about on its website.

F-unknown was the Imperial Wizard of the United Klans of America. In an article published on November 22, 2013, the SPLC described the group as a “millennial reboot of what was once a serious domestic threat. … F-30 led the National Socialist Party of America, was the former director of a faction of the Aryan Nations, and a former member of the Ku Klux Klan. The SPLC website contained an “Extremist File” webpage for F-30 from which the SPLC solicited donations. Between 2014 and 2016, the SPLC secretly paid F30 more than $70,000.00. This overlapped the time period in which F-30 was featured on the SPLC’s “Extremist File” webpage.

This appears to be that webpage, from the SPLC:

SPLC

As you can see, they characterize the guy as a Neo-Nazi. And meanwhile, they’re paying him tens of thousands of dollars.

So now I’m starting to get a little frustrated, because again, I was also listed on their website as an “extremist.” They put my photo up there and everything. I was on their hate map, as someone who absolutely must be stopped. And yet, for all of this, I wasn’t paid a single cent at any point. I served as “General Hate” without any pay whatsoever. Meanwhile, the KKK wizards were raking it in.

If nothing else, this whole situation gives me new respect for Jussie Smollett. He bootstrapped his fake hate crime and paid for it himself, rather than having SPLC organize and fund it for him. He didn’t need SPLC money any more than I did. So there’s a lesson here: Support your local mom and pop hate crime hoax operations. Do it now, before they’re all put out of business by the big guys.

Of course, all kidding aside, SPLC wasn’t offering money to genuine conservatives who are effective at advancing conservatism. The idea was to fund and prop up the alleged “right wingers” who were useful to SPLC and the Left. And I suspect that soon, whether through this investigation or those to come, we’re going to find out that there are a fair number of faux conservative figures, the most embarrassing and ridiculous ones, who have been getting paid by the forces they pretend to oppose. There is a symbiotic relationship between left-wing activist groups and supposedly right-wing grifters. This relationship has always been obvious. Now we’re learning about its financial dimensions. 

Speaking of which, back to the KKK — what exactly were they doing to get all this SPLC money? Well, here’s one example. It turns out that, about a decade ago, there was a big controversy in Georgia over something called the “Adopt a Highway Program.” The idea is that, if you’re an organization, you can “adopt” a section of the state highway system if you agree to pick up garbage along the side of the road. In exchange for picking up the trash, you get to have your group’s name posted on signs alongside the stretch of highway that you’ve “adopted.”

There was a similar program in Missouri for a while, which led to the creation of this sign along the highway.

Tim Parker / Reuters

Eventually, the sign was taken down, apparently because the KKK didn’t pick up enough trash. But in any event, you can see why the KKK would want this kind of visibility. It’s basically free advertising from the government.

And apparently, the SPLC was a big fan of that advertising, as well. This is from the indictment.

F-43 was the reported National President of American Front and a convicted federal felon for his participation in a cross burning. Between 2016 and 2019, the SPLC secretly paid F-43 more than $19,000.00. F-unknown was a member of the Ku Klux Klan and married to an Exalted Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan. F-unknown and their spouse were involved in litigation whereby the Ku Klux Klan applied to take part in the Adopt-a-Highway program. During the course of the litigation, known payments were traced from the SPLC to F-unknown which exceeded $3,500.00.

It’s not exactly clear what that money bought, but it sounds like the SPLC was all in favor of the KKK getting a stretch of highway named after them. This is how pro-white supremacy the SPLC is. They’re all-in. They won’t stop until every stretch of highway is named after a KKK grand wizard. That’s the extent of their commitment to anti-racism. As Ibram X. Kendi (aka Henry Rogers) once said, the only way to combat racism is to be as racist as possible. And the SPLC, more than any other organization on the planet, has definitely taken that advice to heart.

The rest of the indictment outlines the ways in which the SPLC is accused of laundering money through shell companies to these various informants. The indictment says the SPLC set up fake companies like the “Center Investigative Agency” or CIA, as well as “Fox Photography,” “North West Technologies,” the “Tech Writers Group,” and a “Rare Books Warehouse.” The idea is that, for obvious reasons, the SPLC didn’t want to cut checks from its own account. So they may have broken the law by creating a bunch of fake companies to send the wire transfers. And in addition to that, the DOJ is claiming that donors were basically defrauded, because they were donating with the expectation that they were “fighting” right-wing extremism — not funding it.

This is obviously an ongoing case, and the SPLC is claiming that it was simply paying informants to undermine these groups. And already, Democrats, including Hakeem Jeffries, are claiming that the Trump administration is “weaponizing” the DOJ to go after its political opponents, which, of course, is something Democrats would never do. 

For their part, the Democrats’ allies in the media are mostly ignoring the story entirely. Newsbusters reports:

ABC, CBS, and NBC all bit their tongues rather than report on the downfall of the self-proclaimed “anti-hate” group. In fact, only PBS reported on the indictment. … [But] PBS’s report on the indictment was vague and unclear. The charges were recited but not explained. The SPLC’s CEO was allowed in for a friendly soundbite.

Imagine that. After years of talking nonstop about Charlottesville, none of the mainstream outlets are going to talk about SPLC’s role in helping organize the rally. After decades of citing the SPLC as a credible source of information on so-called “hate groups,” none of them are going to talk about the federal allegations that the company was funding those same groups. Apparently, they’re going with the argument from the Democrat Party, which is that SPLC was simply using “informants” for legitimate purposes. Meanwhile, something called the “Jewish Council for Public Affairs” just released a bizarre statement defending SPLC, saying they do invaluable work to “counter violent extremism” — never mind the fact that they fund it.

These arguments, of course, amount to complete BS. When you’re paying millions of dollars, you aren’t buying “informants” — you’re supporting the organizations themselves, and propping them up. It’s obvious what the game was. SPLC funded “right-wing extremist” groups so that it could turn around and fundraise off of them, and use them as a pretext to crack down on conservatives nationwide. That’s what was actually happening.

But even if these excuses were true, it would just serve to underscore the degree to which the Left has created quasi-government agencies despite having no legal authority to do so. The SPLC — according to their own defense — was acting like the FBI, hiring undercover agents to “disrupt terrorism” and so on. It’s hard to ignore the fact that, based on this indictment, we’ve been living under the tyranny not just of unelected judges and bureaucrats, but also of unelected activist organizations.

I’ve been beating this drum for a while now — about the need for the Trump administration to go to war with these fake non-profits and NGOs that, in reality, are criminal front-groups for the Democrat Party. And with this indictment, more than half a year after the murder of Charlie Kirk, the Trump administration is finally getting serious about doing that. And that’s genuinely worth applauding. I have plenty of criticisms about this administration, which I’ve voiced many times. But if they can dismantle these cancerous left-wing front groups — the same way they closed the border and shut down the fraudulent asylum claims — then unequivocally, this administration will have been a success. It certainly will have been a hell of a lot better than the alternative. And as tempting as it might be to engage in doomerism and complain nonstop, we need to celebrate wins when they happen. 

We need to recognize this indictment as a sign of major progress. 

And we also need to understand, at the same time, that SPLC is the tip of the iceberg. It appears the SPLC is a criminal organization. Every Leftist activist group is just as corrupt, dishonest, and sinister as this. They all want you dead. They all celebrated what happened to Charlie Kirk. They’re all willing to go to extraordinary lengths — lengths unfathomable to sane people — to defame, harass, and destroy their opponents. So it’s not crazy to wonder who, for instance, was behind January 6th. If they’re willing to spend millions of dollars on false flag operations, for the purpose of generating a narrative they can use to demonize and jail their political opponents for several years, then it’s not exactly a stretch to conclude that January 6th was just like Charlottesville—a well-funded psy-op.

It’s not exactly unheard of. Something similar to this incident happened back in 2001, in Germany. The federal government wanted to ban the “National Democratic Party of Germany,” saying they were run by Nazis. But the plan fell apart when it emerged that, in fact, “confidential informants of German intelligence agencies” were “active in the leadership of the party.”

Intelligence agencies and activist groups have never stopped running this playbook. During the Canadian trucker convoy, some mysterious Nazi flags appeared — and the people holding them eventually went back to a hotel that was being used by Canada’s federal police. These kinds of psy-ops are extremely common. But if you say any of this out loud, they’ll come after you, relentlessly. They bankrupted Alex Jones and stole his company, not because of anything he said about a school shooting, but because he made observations like this, about Charlottesville:

Here’s @RealAlexJones NAILING the Charlottesville “Unite the Right” false-flag years ago, shortly after it happened.
