The Daily Caller – by Peter Hasson
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is a “highly profitable scam” that “never lived up to the values it espoused,” according to former SPLC staffer Bob Moser.
The New Yorker on Thursday published a scathing essay from Moser, now a Rolling Stone reporter, accusing the left-wing non-profit of “ripping off donors” while turning a blind eye to sexual harassment and racial discrimination within its own ranks.
The SPLC fired co-founder Morris Dees on March 13 over unspecified conduct issues.
The SPLC announced Dees’ firing after roughly two dozen SPLC employees previously signed a letter to the organization’s leadership expressing their alarm at “allegations of mistreatment, sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and racism,” The Los Angeles Times reported.
“The firing of Dees has flushed up all the uncomfortable questions again. Were we complicit, by taking our paychecks and staying silent, in ripping off donors on behalf of an organization that never lived up to the values it espoused? Did we enable racial discrimination and sexual harassment by failing to speak out?” Moser asked in his article.
One of Moser’s former colleagues answered in the affirmative. “Of course we did,” she told Moser. “It’s shameful, but when you’re there you kind of end up accepting things. I never even considered speaking out when things happened to me! It doesn’t feel good to recognize that. I was so into the work, and so motivated by it, I kind of shrugged off what was going on.”
A spokesman for the SPLC did not return an email seeking comment on Moser’s article.
The SPLC, which is known to label pedestrian conservative organizations as “hate groups,” is a key resource for Amazon, Google and other tech companies in policing “hate speech.”
According to Moser, SPLC employees were aware that donors were being misled about the SPLC’s mission.
He described “the guilt you couldn’t help feeling about the legions of donors who believed that their money was being used, faithfully and well, to do the Lord’s work in the heart of Dixie. We were part of the con, and we knew it.”
The non-profit recently reported more than half a billion dollars in assets, including $121 million in off-shore funds.
First in the long-awaited steps to exposing the Evil of Talmudic Jewry? Hmmmmm. Is the ADL next? You know, when you’re trying to institute some form of the Noahide Laws (which state Jews can enslave gentiles and murder Christians) and are being deceived by Satan (or the Syn of Sat) at the same time, you just might screw it up a bit. When your “allowed to lie to gentiles” BS puts one in a bind…
It’s interesting to note that the eleven highest paid employees of SPLC are all white while much of its hundreds of millions of dollars are invested off shore. Cohen, Levin, Katzerman… And so it goes. It leaves one to wonder who started up the NAACP? Actually no, it doesn’t.
