Incredible. USAID was funding the SPLC through an organization called the Tides Center, based in San Francisco.
From 2016 through 2024, USAID granted $27 million to the Tides Network to “strengthen global civil society organizations, promote transparency, accountability, citizen engagement, and serve as fiscal agent for USAID’s Civil Society Innovation Initiative.”
The Tides Center set up a fund through its Tides Foundation with that money for the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Vote Your Voice” initiative.
The executive director of the Tides Center is Ayesha Khanna. She was co-chair of Women for Obama in Atlanta, Georgia.
The CBS News segment on SPLC defrauding its donors and paying hate groups is wild.
“The SPLC was not dismantling these groups. It was instead manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose.”
Great reporting!
Well well well…
The Obama Foundation sent money to the Tides Foundation.
The Tides Foundation sent money to the SPLC.
The SPLC sent money to the KKK.
What a tangled web of treachery.
Dan Bilzerian's standing by his assertion that his opponent for a seat in Congress is a "fat Jew" ... while simultaneously insisting he's anti-Jewish, not antisemitic.
The purpose of Trump Derangement Syndrome has always been to manipulate Democrat voters into fearing and hating Trump so much that Democrat leaders could get away with ANYTHING - open borders, fraud, crime, homelessness, drugs, trash in the streets - and still keep their support.
As long as they say “Trump,” voters look past it, whatever it is. Conditions can be dirty and dangerous, they could be losing billions to fraud and unable to afford to live... but they’re convinced it could be worse - because HE is worse.
They can’t explain how. He just is. And that makes ANYTHING their own leaders do acceptable.
I think the SPLC is going to end up being the same pattern for a large portion of the major leftist NGOs.
If they got away with funding the very thing they were supposed to be fighting for decades, why would they stop with just one NGO?
They’d do it with all of them.
HOLY SMOKES! 🔥🔥
Gutfeld just ripped Jessica Tarlov to shreds on The Five about the SPLC. She’s still claiming the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville was completely real and organic, even though it’s been proved the whole thing was funded.
This is hands-down the best thing you’ll watch all day!
I know everyone is jaded from years of being awake and seeing no accountability, but big picture, this is insane that the Director of the FBI is on primetime TV explaining to the world that the Democrats favorite charity organization has secretly been funding the very groups they say they are fighting to divide the country on purpose.
“The charity that supposedly fought the Klan, funded the Klan. The charity that supposedly fought neo-nazis, funded neo-nazis. The SPLC ran a methodical calculated scheme to defraud their donor base of $3 million dollars and lied to them, and used an illicit banking structure system to create shell companies to hide their money and who it was being sent to, specifically for the reason to sow discord and hate into our society.”
We always knew that they want us divided, but now we are going to see people sent to prison for it.
Kash also explained that the indictments show they were funding at least 8 “hate groups” that they claimed they were fighting to take out.
“They were paying the very villains of our society they supposedly wanted to protect us from.”
This is just the tip of the iceberg and I suspect this is bigger than we know.
While the dems endlessly smeared Trump as a white supremacist, Kamala Harris was endorsed by the SPLC. This group was just indicted for secretly funding white supremacist organizations.
The money trail always leads back to the democrats.
Let that sink in.
All democrats do is lie..
All democrats do is fuel racism..
They formed the KKK.
They fought a war to keep blacks enslaved.
And when they lost, they twisted history to say THEY fought to free the slaves.
And today, They are literally funding “white supremacy groups” while claiming to dismantle them.
You can’t make this shit up.
