Discredited But Massively Wealthy SPLC Working With Corrupt FBI

 Its name-calling and defamation would be just more of the same rubbish that comes daily from the Left were it not for the fact that the social media giants and numerous other major corporations still take the massively discredited SPLC seriously and use its smear pieces as a guide to shun and deplatform various dissenters from the Leftist agenda.

Now this sinister and hateful group is partnering with the equally corrupt and politicized FBI. The Daily Signal reported Sunday that the FBI "Appears, at least briefly, to have joined the Southern Poverty Law Center's attempt to demonize Roman Catholics who follow the church's teachings on marriage and who celebrate the Latin Mass." One of those Catholics, Michael J. Matt, editor of a newspaper called The Remnant and producer of Remnant TV, noted that his organization, which is not remotely connected with violence or terrorism, was listed on a "Leaked FBI memo," along with other Catholic groups that he pointed out were "Defunct."

Matt asked incredulously: "They took Heidi Beirich and Rhonda Brownstein's word for it, from 2007?!" He added: "There has been an explosion of traditional Catholic groups since Pope Benedict XVI brought back the Latin Mass. None of the new groups who are in positions of real influence are targeted in the memo." That's good, but the fact that the FBI is working with the SPLC and targeting law-abiding citizens because it disapproves of their religious beliefs is disquieting enough.

The Daily Signal notes that the SPLC "Has branded mainstream conservative and Christian nonprofits 'hate groups,' placing them on a map with chapters of the Ku Klux Klan." This includes Jihad Watch and the David Horowitz Freedom Center, which have committed no offense other than standing for human rights for all people.

"The FBI's Richmond, Virginia, office cited the SPLC in a January memo, which the national FBI office publicly rescinded in February. That memo listed nine organizations, most of which the SPLC first added to the list of 'hate groups' in 2007. The SPLC suggested that those organizations espouse and support antisemitism, and it has kept most of them on the list and the 'hate map' for nearly two decades."

Fox News reported on April 10 that the FBI "Recently sought to develop sources inside Christian churches and Catholic dioceses as part of an effort to combat domestic terrorism." This was clear from internal FBI documents that the House Judiciary Committee released to the public.

The documents reveal that the FBI was attempting to use "Mainline Catholic parishes" as "New avenues for tripwire and source development."
