🚨 THE SPLC WAS JUST PAYING INFORMANTS - which is the Leftist narrative. The Left is pushing the narrative that the SPLC was simply paying informants to monitor and report on extremist groups. If that were truly the case, there would have been no need for the SPLC to route payments through fake entities and shell organizations. They did so because the recipients weren't passive sources - they were active organizers who played key roles in planning events and rallying other extremists to participate. In some cases, these individuals were leaders of the very hate groups the SPLC publicly listed as extremists, all while receiving payments from the organization. That contradiction makes the "they were just informants" defense fall apart. They weren't mere observers - they were active participants, organizers, advertisers, and motivators. They were the REASON these hate events happened at all.
