Transcript [lightly edited]
Welcome to your Thursday, April 23rd, 2026, morning update. The Southern Poverty Law Center is in some hot water after having a multi-point indictment dropped in its lap by an Alabama grand jury. Apparently, the SPLC, which has flagged Granitegrok.com as being anti-government, which is total nonsense. We’re anti-big government or anti-overreaching government. A little bit of government is necessary, but anyway.
That’s not the SPLC’s problem. Their problem is that they’ve been laundering money through non-existent shell corporations and sending it to hate groups to engage in hate for the apparent purpose of justifying their existence.
Quote: the SPLC allegedly engaged in a massive fraud operation to deceive its donors, enrich itself, and hide its deceptive operations from the public. This, from FBI director Kash Patel. They lied to donors, vowing to dismantle violent extremist groups, and actually turned around and paid the leaders of these very extremist groups, even utilizing the funds to have these groups facilitate the commission of state and federal crimes.
All that craziness in Charlottesville that the left tried to peg on Trump all those years ago. Apparently, the SPLC paid a large sum of money to get neo-Nazis there to cause chaos. But that’s not really the big problem, is it? Aside from the fact that they were paying hate groups to engage in hate to justify their existence, the problem was how they were doing it.
The indictment describes scores of fake bank accounts the SPLC created and used to launder money to its informants and hate groups. It would go like this. The SPLC would dream up a preposterous-sounding business that didn’t actually exist. Those names, well, guess what? They would launder money through them. Mind you, none of these businesses ever existed.
No customers, no vendors, no products or services. To convince the banks to open the accounts for their invisible businesses, the SPLC lied on the account applications in writing; the DOJ now has it dead to rights.
Liberals and SPLC supporters are still complaining, whining, and insisting that it’s perfectly legitimate for the SPLC to pay informants inside hate groups and claim that the purpose was to get the communications or to undermine those groups. But there’s a problem.
Their intent, quote, is completely irrelevant and beside the point. First of all, it’s 100 % legal, though unsavory, for law enforcement agencies to fund criminal informants. Law enforcement trades cash for tips all the time. In theory, when it does happen, it includes records, receipts, is regulated by internal rules and policies, and is under LEO supervision. It is not legal for a private citizen or company to fund criminals, not even as informants.
You can’t cosplay as a cop and start making citizen’s arrests when somebody cuts you off in traffic. And you definitely can’t pay neo-Nazis to organize violent rallies, even if you mean well. Second, their good intent is far from clear. One thing is conspicuously missing from the conversation over the SPLC’s meant-well defense. Any evidence of prosecutions and convictions? If over decades the SPLC did use their informants to help shut down hate groups, then where is their track record, their belt of scalps? You would think the SPLC would have already posted that list on its website by now. You would think they’d be feeding allied reporters all the examples of all the bad guys they helped put behind bars using their informant network. They’re very well-funded informant network, but there’s nothing, no examples, no bad guys, no scalps
It doesn’t look good.
It looks like the SPLC’s hate money never helped to catch anybody. And of course, the SPLC, which has flagged GraniteGrok as anti-government, as I mentioned, they never sent us a check to be more anti-government. Not that they needed to, but then…
They didn’t really need to fund hate groups to be haters, did they? But they did. The problem is the bank crimes. There are lots of them, and the SPLC is probably going down. That’s it for today. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.
