The Southern Poverty Law Center just got busted red-handed like a televangelist caught with his hand in the collection plate and a hooker in the motel room. They secretly shoveled over three million bucks from 2014 to 2023 to bona fide Klan wizards, Aryan Nations goons, and Unite the Right planners, all while sobbing to their donors that they were bravely fighting the very monsters they were quietly bankrolling.

This grift ain’t new. Most news stories are fake. The events often actually happened, but those events were generated by whoever profits by making them happen. It’s the same tired racket BLM outfits, green grift NGOs, pro-Palestine campus radicals, and those charming Antifa street cosplayers have been running for years. There are almost no actual protesters without money organizing lunatics to show up. At least the Somalians, Armenians, Russians, and other ethnics fraudsters stay quietly apolitical as they skim billions for themselves at tax payer expense.

Here’s the scam in all its low-rent glory: you take a big pile of donor cash, round up a motley crew of unemployed 20-something lunatics who couldn’t organize a two-car funeral without help, then sic a slick puppet master on them to manage the maniacs into an effective public weapon. Suddenly you’ve got identical professionally printed signs, matching Amazon-bulk tents, and perfectly synchronized riots that flip from saving the polar bears one week to Free Palestine the next, like a weather vane in a hurricane. All of it designed to generate wall-to-wall media coverage, hijack the national conversation, and control public opinion. Whichever activist racket pays for the mob that week, the wranglers will make a good show happen. But it’s very far from anything real, just a fake show fabricated for money.

Directing lunatics towards particular aims is a timeless way to gain power. The FBI identifies coercible lunatics and strategically gives them means and motive to commit atrocities so it can ask for an increased budget to protect the public from the lunatics it unleashes upon the public. Most of our problems are self-inflicted, not natural. The core problem is that institutional incentives differ from public interests.

The media calls it activism but it’s better understood as a variety of antisocial thuggery. These clowns don’t win arguments with reason, as their goals are devoid of reason. They win because they can get a rowdy mob to show up threatening to burn your city block, occupy your campus quad, or declare six city blocks their own sovereign nation, complete with barricades and a gift shop. It’s about causing problems to happen so you can ride in on the aftermath and seize political power which you can turn into money extraction, knowing the media will pretend leftist grift is legitimate. Antifa’s little autonomous zones were peak “fake and gay,” as the kids say. Six blocks of public street they claimed like it was their tree fort, daring the adults to come take it back.

Strip away the money, fire the professional organizers, penalize the fakers who conjure problems into existence for their own benefit, and the whole thing collapses faster than a vegan at a Texas barbecue. The lunatics scatter back into the basement, and the manufactured outrage evaporates into the sweet, sweet ether of pure, unfiltered entropy.
