SPLC Publishes Patriot Hit List

In a report on its web site dated April 2010, entitled "Meet The Patriots," the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) profiled "36 individuals at the heart of the resurgent [patriot] movement." (In reading the list, I counted only 35 "patriots" and 5 "enablers" for a total of 40. I'm not really sure how the SPLC came up with "36." Perhaps their ability to count is commensurate with their ability to appreciate patriotism and liberty.) The SPLC (founded by Morris Dees) sees itself as America's guardian against "right wing militias" and loves to label conservatives and libertarians that it doesn't like as "extremists." The SPLC is one of the most ultra-liberal organizations in the country and should be dismissed as a group of paranoid leftists, not worthy of thought or mention.

The sad truth is, however, our federal government has chosen to exalt the SPLC to the position of being its "go to" source for information regarding "potential domestic terrorists" and similar characterizations. As a result, the information and reports disseminated by SPLC wind up in police reports and bulletins all over the United States. As an example, the SPLC had its fingerprints all over the infamous MIAC report. One could even question whether the SPLC is merely a front organization for Big Brother.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the report negatively profiling 40 American patriots will find its way into Department of Homeland Security (DHS) fusion centers and be distributed to police agencies all across the country. So, should the 40 people who find themselves targeted by SPLC expect some kind of government/police attention? Are we really that close to Nazi-style persecution in America? If the SPLC has its way, the answer seems to be a definite yes.

I remind readers that in the book, Nazi Justiz: Law of the Holocaust (page 3), there were five steps to Hitler's plans for the destruction of European Jews. Step 1: Identification/registration of the targeted group as a public menace. Step 2: Ostracism of the targeted persons. Step 3: property confiscation. Step 4: Concentration of members into geographical locations. Step 5: Annihilation. In this latest report, SPLC seems quite willing to accomplish steps 1 and 2.

Here are the 40 names that are targeted in the SPLC report (and guess who is listed at the very top? Yours truly):

1. Chuck Baldwin, Pastor, Radio Broadcaster, Syndicated Columnist, 2008 Constitution Party Presidential nominee.
2. Joe Banister, former IRS special agent, tax protester.
3. Martin "Red" Beckman, tax protester

11. Ted Gunderson, retired FBI agent.
12. John Hassey, "The public face of Alabama's militia movement in the late 1990s," says SPLC.
13. Alex Jones, Radio Talk Show host.
14. Devvy Kidd, "prolific columnist, blogger, and public speaker."
15. Larry Kilgore, telecommunications consultant, former US Senate candidate from Texas, pro-secession advocate.

The SPLC, no doubt, sees each person on the above list as being a leader of the "radical right," a "conspiracist," and "antigovernment." But understand, the SPLC makes its living off of big-government, leftist ideology. To say it is a shill for Big Government Liberalism is an understatement. The SPLC is so radical it makes the ACLU look conservative!

Here is a list that someone put together on the members of SPLC.
Interesting how the actions/departments seem a tad bit New World Orderly and/or Communistic.

Of the twenty-one members of the Southern Poverty Law Center senior program staff, twelve(12) are Jews. This is a numerical representation of 57%. Of the eleven(11) members of the Southern Poverty Law Center board of directors, six(6) are Jews or have Jewish spouses. This is a numerical representation of 55%. Jews are approximately 2% of the U.S. population. This means that Jews are over-represented on the Southern Poverty Law Center senior program staff by a factor of 28.5 times, or 2,850 percent, and over-represented on the Southern Poverty Law Center board of directors by a factor of 27.5 times, or 2,750 percent. This extreme numerical over-representation of Jews on the Southern Poverty Law Center senior program staff and board of directors cannot be explained away as a coincidence or as the result of mere random chance. You must ask yourself how such an incredibly small and extremely unrepresentative minority ethnic group that only represents 2% of the United States population could so dominate America’s leading “civil rights” organization.

How can I get on their "Hate" list?  I feel so insignificant LOL

And how many are in the government?

Some notations from the noted article:

It's not? 

What a bunch of morons. Who are these idiots, anyway? Oh, that is right...  The founder, Morris S. Dees, is a pedophile!

It is so interesting that they have such an interest in "patriots". What good "citizens".

SPLC Adds The Intel Hub to Active Anti Government “Patriot Groups”

The Intel Hub
Alex Thomas
March 2nd, 2011

The Southern Poverty Law Center recently released their “active” patriots group list for 2010 which put legitimate news outlets and groups in the same category as racist, white nationalists. Obviously this isn’t anything new, the SPLC has released these ridiculous reports for years and used them to demonize patriots worldwide.

Hey, this gives us a great list of people for The PAC Alliance Program! They will be sure to join.

Thanks SPLC!

P.S. Oh yeah, PAC is on the new list...
My question is, what is anti-government about showing people the law?
Also they subject people to reckless endangerment... These people are criminals... The 14th Amendment says so.

And, what does teaching people constitutional law and proper history have to do with "hate"?
Looks like they are way outside the scope of their statement of purpose 
It is ventured that a front acting as something it is not can do whatever it wants.

Who We Are.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is a nonprofit civil rights organization dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry, and to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of society.

Founded by civil rights lawyers Morris Dees and Joseph Levin Jr. in 1971, the SPLC is internationally known for tracking and exposing the activities of hate groups. Our innovative Teaching Tolerance program produces and distributes – free of charge – documentary films, books, lesson plans and other materials that promote tolerance and respect in our nation’s schools.

We are based in Montgomery, Ala., the birthplace of the modern civil rights movement, and have offices in Atlanta, New Orleans, Miami, Fla., and Jackson, Miss.

The officer's might not recognize the documents!

That could put a state national in a bad position seeing what these fools out there pushing this other stuff.

SPLC Ostracizes Patriots... Again.
Debbie Morgan, Host Securing Liberty Radio

Columbia, MO, March 18, 2011 - It's Spring and you know what that means.  The Southern Poverty Law Center has issued its Spring Intelligence Report.  The "Active 'Patriot' Groups in the United States in 2010" is always good entertainment.  Since when is it bad to be considered a patriot?  Along with the Spring publication, the SPLC has also issued a couple of other interesting pieces. One is "SPLC Report Examines Extremist Views of Lawmakers Attacking 14th Amendment" and the other is "The Legislators: The Dirty Dozen." *

In a letter to Mark Potok, I ask since when is being a patriot a bad thing?  And, not that I am sad about being labeled a "Patriot Group", but since when do a films, websites or a film company constitute a "Patriot Group?"  Potok is an award-winning mainstream journalist, having worked for USA Today, the Dallas Times Herald and the Miami Herald.  So...what happened to his journalistic integrity?

* Yep, Southern Poverty Center and its MAINTAINERS.... Insane.

SPLC Report Examines Extremist Views of Lawmakers Attacking 14th Amendment The coalition of state lawmakers seeking to undermine the 14th Amendment’s birthright citizenship protection includes a dozen legislators who embrace a raft of radical beliefs, including conspiracy theories about supposed government concentration camps and claims that President Obama is a foreigner.more...

Back in about the year 1994 when I got into the movement, it took me about 9 months or so to understand that the  A.D.L. (Anti-Defamation League) and the S.P.L.C. (Southern Poverty Law Center) were evil and one. Well, it appears that some others are now finding out the truth behind these "Enemies of The Republic" also...

Subject: ADL ties to SPLC

Hello all-

It has become apparent that the A.D.L. (Anti-Defamation League) and the S.P.L.C. (Southern Poverty Law Center) share certain information.

I should note here that the S.P.L.C. a few years ago had sponsored a website called www.klanwatch.org and it had Leroy Crenshaw listed as the local "klan leader" in Springfield, Massachusetts. I have known Leroy for over 20 years. For those of you who know Leroy, this is laughable. For those of you who don't know Leroy, he is a black gym teacher (retired) from Alabama, and has been involved in the "Civil Rights Movement" since the 1960s. This is just one example of how inaccurate their information is. There are other examples, but this is the most flagrant and obvious inaccuracy.

I have no problem being associated with Leroy Crenshaw, but to make claims based on this kind of inaccurate information is childish and pathetic.

I have personally met Mark Pitcavage, who authors publications that are promoted and distributed by the A.D.L., and I will tell you that he and I agreed on many things, but not on everything. For example, I believe that, according to my research back in the mid-1990s, that of the so-called "militia" groups around the country that I could identify or find information about, approximately 7% had a some type of racist agenda. Now, that's about the same percentage of the general population that is left-handed. Not really that much of concern, especially considering that this is a sub-group of a sub-group of a sub-group. Maybe it's something to be aware of, and keep your eye on, but it doesn't deserve the amount of hysteria and paranoia that it gets.

Please keep all of this in perspective.

I don't see the "Sovereign Citizen Movement" to be a threat to my individual liberties. As far as I can determine, they just want to be left alone. That sounds like why the Pilgrims and other early colonists came to America in the first place. That was the beginning of the greatest country that has ever existed in the history of the world. I think we should try to keep it.

PUBLIC NOTICE TO SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER

Here is the response from the People's Awareness Coalition (PAC) to SPLC's (and its Zionist cohort, the ADL) broad brushed "Anti-Government" rhetoric of which they like to pin on anyone who supports the truth:

Brother Nathanael Kapner... He Rocks! But understand, that is the SPLC and the ADLs trump card.

Otherwise known as, the Race Card:

41. Race Card. A term used to define individuals interested in maintaining control with the collectivist legislative system under the 14th Amendment and use race to do so. One of the methods used by these types is to play-up "civil rights" over natural rights or the common law. The former “rights” are generally dealt-out by the federal government.

Flashback: Southern Poverty Law Center, FBI Linked To Oklahoma City Bombing

The Intel Hub
July 27, 2011

Considering that The Intel Hub and many other legitimate alternative news outlets have been attacked by the Southern Poverty Law Center and lumped together with Nazis, it is important to understand the history of the SPLC.

In the coming weeks The Intel Hub will be releasing a detailed exposé on the SPLC which will including no conjecture or opinion. We will leave it up to our listeners and readers to decide the integrity of the multimillion dollar supposed anti hate organization.

As the corporate media continues its attack on Christian conservatives after the Norway terror attacks, we have seen many pundits and groups such as the SPLC compare the Norway attacks with the Oklahoma City Bombing.

What is ignored is the actual history of the Oklahoma City Bombing and the connection that the Southern Poverty Law Center and the FBI actually had with the attack.

In a 2003 article by J.D. Cash of the McCurtain Daily Gazette, the startling fact that the SPLC had an informant within Elohim City was revealed.
