Presidential candidate Trump was frequently attacked for saying, “there are good people on both sides.” at the ‘Unite the Right’ rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.  Now we learn that the bad people on both sides were working together.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), started out as an organization to help poor Black folks in the South.  That was back in the day.  Now, the SPLC is the organization that decides who or what organizations are racist, or right-wing extremists.  The FBI, corporate media and major banks respect their opinion.

Now we learn that the SPLC was paying the White supremacists that they were publicly opposing.  That seemed to ludicrous to be true, and the corporate media isn’t explaining it, so I read the indictment from the Department of Justice.

A group of regular people on the Grand Jury read this indictment and studied all of the evidence, and agreed that this could be criminal and should go to court.

All of the facts and details will come out in the trial and smart people will figure this out, but the SPLC is greasy.   They paid people who were also listed on their ‘Extremists’ page.  These people organized White supremacist organizations and protests.

From the indictment:

One guy helped plan and coordinated the transportation for the ‘Unite the Right’ protest in Charlottesville.  The SPLC paid him $270,000.

One guy was a fundraiser for the National Alliance, and broke into the headquarters of one extremist group to steal a bunch of files.  The SPLC paid him $1,000,000.

Another guy was paid to take the blame for the theft, and was paid $6000.

The SPLC was paying the Imperial Wizard of the United Klans of America.

An officer for the National Socialist Movement was paid $300,000 by the SPLC.  Recall that the Nazi Party was a National Socialist party.

The SPLC gave $140,000 to the chairman of the National Alliance.

The leader of the National Alliance was paid $70,000 by the SPLC.

The cross-burning National President of the American Front was paid $19,000 by the SPLC.

These were people posted on the SPLC website as dangerous, but they were also being paid.

The SPLC funded extremists while asking for donations to oppose them.  They were playing both sides against the middle.

The SPLC did other shady business to hide their shenanigans.  Evidence will be needed to back up the charges in court, but indictment is legit and significant.
