The Biggest Blacklist in American History

Consider the SPLC's branding of David Horowitz, founder of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, as an "Anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim extremist" and as one of the "10 Most Dangerous Hatemongers" in the United States - solely because he opposes illegal immigration and warns against the dangers of Islamic jihad. After Horowitz gave a speech to the bi-partisan American Legislative Exchange Council in August 2018, SPLC organized a boycott that singled out his remarks as worthy of suppression and called on ALEC's corporate sponsors to withdraw their support.

The SPLC blacklist is enabled by - and could not be successful without - the mindless support of media outlets like the Washington Post, New York Magazine, Vanity Fair, and so-called "Liberal" organizations like People for the American Way and Common Cause.

To the leftists at the Southern Poverty Law Center, the defense of the First Amendment by organizations like ADF is a "Hateful" endeavor which merits the group's inclusion in the SPLC blacklist.

AmazonSmile, in turn, has dutifully declared itself off-limits to ADF. As one AmazonSmile spokesperson has acknowledged: "We remove organizations that the SPLC deems as ineligible." And by that chain of unexamined "Evidence" - i.e., the mere word of SPLC - the blacklist works.

ADF is just one of scores of mainstream religious organizations that have been targeted by SPLC. In particular, SPLC depicts any entity objecting to transformative cultural changes involving homosexuals - such as gay marriage - as a "Hate" group whose opinions have no more legitimacy than those of an Aryan militia.

Particularly remarkable is the fact that BloodMoney has named none other than Amazon as a company guilty of conducting business with various "Hate groups" that pursue "Dangerous agendas." In other words, AmazonSmile's blacklist doesn't go far enough for BloodMoney, which boasts that, as a result of its own blacklisting efforts, "158 funding sources have been removed from white supremacist sites."

The SPLC's massive blacklist is sustained by a powerful movement on the left and in the Democratic Party, which is determined to suppress its conservative opposition and create a one-party state - a feat it has already accomplished in our colleges and universities and in large swathes of our media institutions.
