SPLC False Flag Operations Reminiscent of Tactics Used Against Tea Party

SPLC False Flag Operations Reminiscent of Tactics Used Against Tea Party

There is nothing new under the Sun, and one of the things that is not new is leftist groups running false flag operations against anyone from the “right” deemed a political threat.

At Legal Insurrection we documented the false flag attacks on the Tea Party which was viciously smeared as racist based in significant part operations run by groups like Think Progress (remember them?). We documented how signs and provocateurs would be planted at Tea Party rallies and then used as fodder for attacks by the “Netroots Nation” left wing media echo-system, Democrats, the mainstream media, and even establishment Republicans. Here are just a few of our posts:

• Was “Heil Hitler” Confrontation Staged? (2009)
• Shocked – Think Progress Misleading Anti-Tea Party Video (2010)
• 15 minutes of fame goes wrong for far left activist (2013)
• Disruption of Trump rallies similar to tactics used against Tea Party (2016)
• Think Progress website, which led smear of Tea Party, shuts down (2019)

Our very own Leslie Eastman, one of the original Tea Party organizers in California, described what would happen:

Then, there was the Tax Day Tea Party of 2010. At that point, it was obvious that our events were going to be the target of event crashers and we pre-planned accordingly. We had signs printed up that would identify infiltrators, and videographers who would record their shenanigans.

This is why Legal Insurrection’s blog archives are so valuable – because there is nothing new under the Sun. We’ve seen this movie many times before.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has been indicted for allegedly running false flag operations supporting and promoting KKK and neo-Nazi groups and leaders to stoke a narrative and to fundraise. I’ve addressed SPLC’s history of deception in numerous recent media interviews after the Indictment.

I had a chance to specifically discuss the false flag aspect in an interview with Tony Katz. Here’s the excerpt regarding the Tea Party and false flags.

Katz: Certainly as you cover this, as, as a commentator, how do you combat these things?

WAJ: Well, it’s tough, but if you remember back in the9 Tea Party days, and I remember writing about this at the time, in 2000, 10 11, there were groups that would send provocateurs to the rallies with racist signs, and they were called out for that.

I think we need to examine how much of the anti-Republican, anti-conservative agenda has been fueled by false flag operations. And I think it’s more extensive than we know.

I think that it happened to the Tea Party. The feds say they’ve documented the SPLC doing it. I guarantee you there are many other leftist and democratic groups who are sending people to rallies.

And I remember writing about this, the Tea Party rallies. You could have a rally of a thousand people with 300 signs, and somehow there’d be that one sign and the photograph circulated in the media were of that one sign.

And I remember an instance where there was a confrontation,with somebody who just showed up and people were, you know, saying, this is not one of us.

And so that happens all the time. I guarantee you it’s going on extensively, these false flag operations to portray Republicans and conservatives as racist, etc., etc.  And it appears if what the Feds are saying is true that SPLC was part of that.

Write up from Tony’s website:

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has long presented itself as prominent voice in the fight against hate groups and white supremacy. However, recent allegations have raised questions about the organization’s true intentions. Tony Katz is joined by William Jacobson, a Cornell Law professor and the mind behind Legal Insurrection, to discuss the SPLC’s alleged involvement in promoting and funding hate groups.

William’s expertise on the subject is unparalleled, having written over 50 posts on the SPLC over the past decade. He shares his personal experience with the organization, recalling how he was listed as a “white supremacist” by the SPLC. In the late 1970s, when he was a college student. “I did donate to them, not big dollars, twenty dollars here, thirty dollars there,” he says. “They had an extremely effective mail solicitation program, which makes sense because Morris Dees, the founder of SPLC, was made his fortune in direct mail solicitation.”

William’s investigation into the SPLC began in earnest in 2010, when he noticed that the organization was listing a “Klan group” in Rhode Island, where he is from. “I’m saying, wait a second, I’ve never heard of this,” he says. “I looked into it, and I could find no substantiation that there was a real-life Klan group in Rhode Island.” This was just one of several instances where William questioned the SPLC’s claims, leading him to write extensively about their alleged deceptions.

The recent indictment from the Department of Justice has shed new light on the SPLC’s alleged activities. According to the indictment, the organization paid out $3 million to fund hate groups, which led to a significant increase in donations from $50 million to $133 million. William believes that this is just the tip of the iceberg. “If this is happening here with the SPLC, for what reason would I not think it’s happening elsewhere?” he asks.

The conversation with William Jacobson is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of the SPLC’s actions. He shares his expertise on the subject, providing context and insights that are both informative and thought-provoking. If you’re curious about the allegations surrounding the SPLC and want to learn more about the implications of their actions, tune in to this episode.
