The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) made themselves the “keeper” of all things morality-related within US politics. They were the hall monitors who decided who was a racist, who was a Nazi, and who was morally bankrupt and unworthy of a livelihood and a happy life.
They’ve pointed fingers, slapped labels on people, and told donors they’re fighting hate, extremism, racism, and every other monster lurking in the closet. And for a really long time, the left and our mainstream media treated what they said like gospel. Meanwhile, conservatives warned over and over that the SPLC had gone from civil rights watchdogs to a left-wing smear machine with a bottomless bank account.
They were running the show. The SPLC monitored conservative publications, helped to get Trump supporters deplatformed, and ruined people’s reputations by labeling them racists and rightwing extremists.
But in the end, it was all BS. Turns out the SPLC really was the real monster in the closet.
Now, that entire operation is crumbling, as investigations reveal scandal after scandal.
The DOJ has accused the SPLC of funneling donor money to people working inside the very hate groups they claimed to be fighting against. And now, according to a new exclusive report, one top SPLC-linked player is accused of helping funnel over a million bucks to an informant inside a neo-Nazi group… and wait, there’s more… this person was also her lover.
How’s that for fighting “extremism?”
The self-righteous moral “Karens” who built their empire around warning Americans that hate was hiding behind every Trump supporter have been working overtime to fund that hate and sleep with the Nazis they claim to oppose.
The Justice Department says a federal grand jury charged the SPLC with very serious fraud counts tied to this donor scam they were running.
DOJ:
Between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC secretly funneled more than $3 million in donated funds
We have to say it again, because it’s just so wild: left-wing donor money was secretly sent to insiders connected to the “hate” groups the SPLC was publicly denouncing and ruining people’s lives over.
And the latest twist involving the Nazi lover comes to us from an exclusive piece by the New York Post. The indictment names the SPLC official as “Employee-2.” The Post says that person is believed to be Heidi Beirich, the former director of the SPLC’s Intelligence Project.
Former top SPLC official Heidi Beirich
New York Post:
A top Southern Poverty Law Center official is accused of helping funnel $1.2 million in donor money to an informant in the National Alliance white supremacist group — who was also allegedly her lover.
The Department of Justice filed a superseding indictment against the SPLC accusing it of funneling donor cash to hate groups they were then telling donors they were fighting.
One figure, referred to as “Employee-2” in the indictment, is described as a “person who would become Director of the SPLC’s Intelligence Project.”
It also describes how “Employee-2” wrote an article based on material stolen from National Alliance headquarters in 2014 and then paid off an informant to take the blame for the robbery.
Based on the details in the June 2 superseding indictment, “Employee-2” is believed to be Heidi Beirich, a 58-year-old fascism expert who was the director of intelligence at the Alabama-based anti-extremism nonprofit between 2012 and 2019.
Geez, for a group that spent years prancing around like the moral authority on extremism, this is about as gross as it gets.
The indictment uses the name “F-9” for the Nazi informant/lover inside the National Alliance.
New York Post:
The indictment alleges Beirich was very close to the informant known only as “F-9” who “infiltrated the neo-Nazi organization National Alliance.”
“[Beirich] was also in a romantic relationship with F-9. During this relationship, [Beirich] and F-9 shared a house and two bank accounts,” the indictment alleges.
“Between 2015 and 2021, approximately $140,000 in donors’ money flowed from the SPLC operating account … and was ultimately deposited into the joint bank accounts held by F-9 and [Beirich].
“This amounted to approximately 66% of all money ever deposited into their joint bank accounts. [Beirich] then used donors’ money to pay the couple’s personal living expenses.”
SPLC donor money ended up in joint bank accounts tied to her Nazi lover. It probably paid for their date nights, too.
The SPLC was actually keeping this Nazi group running.
New York Post:
The indictment also claims that while getting paid by the SPLC, the unnamed informant was also raising money for the National Alliance and helping to “carry out its extremist activities.”
The indictment describes how a source broke into National Alliance’s headquarters in West Virginia in 2014 and “stole approximately 25 boxes of documents,” took them over state lines into North Carolina and copied them, before returning the originals.
In 2015, Beirich wrote an article allegedly based on the stolen materials for her group’s “Hatewatch” section of its website. That article, “Chaos at the Compound,” is still available.
The indictment then describes how the SPLC tried to cover up who their informant was by paying a second informant “approximately $6,000” to take responsibility for the burglary.
And that’s the gut punch. You know what they say: the cover-up is worse than the crime, right? In this case, it seems both were equally as bad.

The SPLC was actually boosting the Nazi group’s public profile by writing a bunch of articles about them… while they were funding them and dating them, too.
New York Post:
Alabama-based SPLC has been charged with wire fraud, bank fraud and money laundering conspiracy for allegedly engaging “in the active promotion of racist groups at the same time that the SPLC was denouncing the same groups on its website,” acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel announced on April 21.
Patel charged that far from using spies to dismantle the hate groups, the SPLC gave them over $4 million to keep promoting their ideologies, thus giving them something to point out and seek donors to fight against. The nonprofit has amassed some $800 million to do so, its publicly released nonprofit accounting shows.
By 2013, the National Alliance had effectively ceased to exist. That year, group chairman Erich Gliebe — a former boxer nicknamed the Aryan Barbarian — had sent a letter to followers saying the group was ending its membership program that September, writing they were abandoning dues-paying chapters in favor of a “supporter-based” structure. Membership had collapsed from 1,400 to around 20 in less than a decade.
Despite the internal chaos and decline, the following year the SPLC began bolstering the group’s public profile, writing nearly a dozen articles about the organization.
Just when you think this mess can’t get worse, it does. If DOJ is right, the SPLC wasn’t just tracking hate. It was helping fund it and dating it, too. This latest revelation could be the final nail in the coffin for one of the left’s most protected smear machines.
And we’re here for it.
