SPLC indictment BOMBSHELL: Charlottesville violence allegedly was a leftist-funded 'false flag'



Charlottesville, Virginia, became a flash point as tensions grew in August 2017 over the fate of American monuments that liberals deemed too racist to leave standing in public spaces.

A hodgepodge of protesters and counterprotesters — which included radical leftists, those opposed to removing Confederate statues, neo-Nazis, and white supremacists — descended on the city ahead of the so-called Unite the Right rally on Aug. 12.

Agitators helped ensure that the event went sideways.

'Trigger the violence because you can't stop the legitimate speech.'

Following a series of skirmishes between various factions, one demonstrator drove his car into a crowd of counterprotesters, injuring over 30 and killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer.

According to the grand jury indictment filed against the Southern Poverty Law Center on Tuesday, this bloody and tragic event — which the American left politically exploited for years and former President Joe Biden cited as his reason for running in 2020 — was the product, in part, of liberal machinations.

The indictment accuses the SPLC — a liberal outfit whose bread and butter is smearing law-abiding conservatives as "extremists" — of funneling millions of dollars to the very extremist groups it claimed to be fighting.

In addition to allegedly bankrolling leaders and organizers in the Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Nation, the National Socialist Party of America, and the National Alliance, the SPLC allegedly "had a field source who was a member of the online leadership chat group that planned the 2017 'Unite the Right' event," according to the indictment.

This field source, who is not named in the indictment, allegedly made "racist postings under the supervision of the SPLC and helped coordinate transportation to the event for several attendees."

For their contributions to the cause, this field source was allegedly paid over $270,000 by the SPLC in secret between 2015 and 2023.

The SPLC did not respond to Blaze News' request for comment.

While its insider was allegedly setting the stage for the rally, the SPLC worked feverishly to emphasize the importance of the planned event, noting in an Aug. 7, 2017, Hatewatch post, for example, that "the event may well become a seminal point for the Alt-Right and the extremist hate fringe: It’s a bold move beyond the anonymity of web sites, message boards, pseudonyms and social media — a move to take the hardcore, racist, white nationalist message to the public square."

In the same post, the SPLC hyped the possibility of violence at the "'summer of hate' gathering of racist extremists from all corners of the country," noting that "the looming social chemistry on a hot summer weekend ... seems to point to the clear possibility of violence."

The bloodletting in Charlottesville proved to be a windfall for the SPLC.

Days after the event, Apple CEO Tim Cook stated that "hate is a cancer and left unchecked it destroys everything in its path." Seeking to "help organizations who work to rid our country of hate," Cook announced that his company was making a $1 million contribution to the SPLC.

Soon thereafter, JP Morgan Chase & Co. pledged half a million to the SPLC, and George and Amal Clooney announced that they were dumping $1 million into SPLC to help it highlight the imagined dangers of white-supremacist ideology.

The Clooneys said in a statement at the time, "What happened in Charlottesville, and what is happening in communities across our country, demands our collective engagement to stand up to hate."

According to the indictment against the SPLC announced by the Justice Department on Tuesday, such donations collected from deep-pocketed liberals "under the auspices that the funds would be used to 'dismantle' violent extremist groups ... was, instead, being used, in part, by the SPLC to pay leaders and others within these same violent extremist groups."

The SPLC allegedly poured over $3 million in such funds to field sources associated with violent extremist groups between 2014 and 2023. These money transfers were allegedly made through a series of bank accounts created in the name of fictional entities, including the Center Investigative Agency, Fox Photography, North West Technologies, and Rare Books Warehouse.

The revelation that an SPLC plant might have been involved in the Unite the Right rally would help explain why the organization was so desperate to attack the notion that the event was a "false flag" from the start.

In the immediate aftermath of the violent rally, Alex Jones reportedly accused the SPLC of hiring actors to dress up like racists and prompt a crackdown by police on the rally's legitimate attendees.

"That's the plan," Jones said. "Trigger the violence because you can't stop the legitimate speech."

Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar (R) was among the others who similarly suspected something was fishy, telling Vice News in October 2017 that the rally was likely "created by the left."

The SPLC insisted that claims that the event was a "false flag" operation or that leftist infiltrators were among its organizers — Jason Kessler, the event's primary organizer, was previously an Obama-supporting Occupy protester — were ludicrous "conspiracy theories" that served only to demonstrate "the strength of the link between the conspiratorial extreme right (Jones, Infowars, Gateway Pundit, etc) and the racist 'alt-right.'"

Woke lecturer cries 'white supremacy' after MAGA-racist smear doesn't go as planned



A nose-ringed Indiana University lecturer is accusing the university of racism for investigating her in-class smear of MAGA as racist.

During a press conference held on Friday by the local chapter of the American Association of University Professors, IU School of Social Work lecturer Jessica Adams claimed that she was barred last month from teaching a "Diversity, Human Rights, and Social Justice" master's class and from contacting her students after a student filed a complaint over her use of a graphic that suggested "Make America Great Again" is a form of "covert white supremacy."

'I feel like white supremacy is actually on full display in the way that my case has been handled.'

According to the graphic Adams provided to the Indianapolis Star, "Make America Great Again" is a form of "socially acceptable" and "covert" white supremacy.

The following are also listed as forms of "covert white supremacy" on Adams' pyramid:

  • "Bootstrap Theory," the idea that individuals can achieve success through their own efforts;
  • anti-immigration policies;
  • paternalism;
  • "Euro-centric Curriculum";
  • "English-only Initiatives";
  • police killing non-whites;
  • "Denial of White Privilege";
  • "Denial of Racism";
  • celebrating Columbus Day;
  • "Fearing People of Color";
  • "Expecting POC to Teach White People";
  • colorblindness; and
  • the assertion that "we're just one human family."

The placement of the different forms of "white supremacy" in the critical race theory pyramid is intended to signal their severity. "Make America Great Again" is located just below the line that separates "covert white supremacy" from "overt white supremacy" — a category that includes neo-Nazis, cross burnings, lynchings, and the KKK.

Adams claimed that while a student had initially complained about the leftist propaganda to Indiana Republican Sen. Jim Banks' office, the formal complaint was ultimately filed by her dean, Kalea Benner, who allegedly accused Adams of presenting "biased information as fact."

Evidencing her ideological blinders and apparent antipathy for the school's administration, Adams, who appears to be white, suggested that the dean of the IU School of Social Work was a racist for questioning the factual nature of the pyramid, stating, "I feel that the assumption that it is not evidence based is rooted in white supremacist ideology. I feel like it's very much rooted in the assumption that the experiences and the voices of minoritized populations, individuals, communities are not valid. And so I feel like white supremacy is actually on full display in the way that my case has been handled."

Adams suggested further the critical race theory pyramid was credible since it is used by leftist organizations such as the National Education Association "as a tool for anti-racist and anti-oppressive education."

A letter from IU administrators indicated the woke lecturer potentially violated Indiana's intellectual diversity law, reported the Star.

Indiana Republicans passed legislation last year aimed at cultivating intellectual diversity on campuses and in classrooms.

Under Senate Enrolled Act 202, professors and other faculty members at state educational institutions are expected not only to foster a culture of free inquiry and free expression inside the classroom but to refrain from subjecting students "to political or ideological views and opinions that are unrelated to the faculty member's academic discipline or assigned course of instruction."

Adams has suggested, however, that she was teaching within her discipline and the scope of the course.

"I was asked to teach on structural racism, and as you teach on structural racism in the United States, you cannot not discuss white supremacy," Adams said during Friday's press conference. "It is the ideology that emboldens racist behavior."

While reportedly removed from the one class, Adams continues to teach three other courses at the university.

Under the IU code, a faculty member could face various disciplinary sanctions, including a written reprimand, a probationary period, a temporary suspension without pay, termination of employment, and/or immediate dismissal.

Banks' office did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

IU spokesman Mark Bode told WFIU Public Radio that the university does not comment on personnel matters.

Minneapolis Schools Declare Capitalism a ‘Pillar of White Supremacy’ in Required Ethnic Studies Classes

One might assume that enrolling in a Hmong studies class would entail learning about the Southeast Asian people’s culture and history. But in Minneapolis, high schoolers are instead taught lessons demonizing capitalism—a system absent in communist China, where many Hmong live—as a pillar of white supremacy alongside slavery and genocide, according to course materials obtained by Defending Education.

Why the ‘black church’ ignored Voddie Baucham



Theologian and Pastor Voddie Baucham was a beacon of hope and a bright mentor for the black community — but he tragically passed away after a medical emergency at only 56 years old.

And despite his profound message, many black churches tend to avoid him.

“Voddie in his presentation wasn’t the stereotypical black minister. Wasn’t a lot of emotion,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock says, before pointing out that after Baucham’s passing, he couldn’t find any mainstream media articles on his legacy.

“Maybe that’s changed,” Whitlock admits, but adds, “And it’s almost like they wanted … to keep Voddie a secret from the traditional black Protestant leftist. They didn’t want us to know about Voddie. And it’s tragic.”


“I think you’re absolutely spot-on,” BlazeTV contributor Chad O. Jackson agrees. “I mean, Voddie’s been on CNN all of one time and they told him, ‘We’ll have you back.’ And they never had him back because of how he was able to embarrass them just by leading into the word of God, quite frankly.”

“But you’re absolutely right. I mean, when you look at black pastors, typically what comes to mind are your Jamal Bryants, your T.D. Jakeses ... even Eric Masons. I know Eric Mason had beef with Dr. Voddie Baucham, even going so far as to, in one of his sermons, use kind of slave vernacular to explain what Voddie Baucham was doing,” Jackson explains.

Jackson tells Whitlock that Mason was “basically accusing Voddie Baucham of making up words like ethnic narcissism to explain or to protect white supremacy.”

“Just this utter nonsense,” he says, calling Baucham “one of the few pastors” he’s aware of who “are unafraid to call out hollow and deceptive philosophies, how these ideologies are infiltrating and subverting God’s people, and how we need to be made aware of them.”

“The Bible says to test every spirit to see if it’s of God. And that’s what Voddie was doing from behind the pulpit,” he adds.

The United States Has Spent $110 Billion on AIDS Prevention. Less Than Half of the Money Went to Medical Supplies and Health Workers, a State Department Audit Found.

Just 40 percent of the United States’ $110-billion investment into global HIV/AIDS prevention actually went toward on-the-ground deliveries of life-saving medical supplies, with at least two recipients using more than $30 billion in taxpayer money to pay "exorbitant" executive salaries and push "leftwing ideology," a State Department audit found.
