As I have said in the comments, nothing about Trump’s second term being a bust and a failure has vindicated “NS” as being any kind of solution for the movement. “NS” has its own parade of problems which have simply been overshadowed by MAGA’s over the past year.
“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. …
“[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. …”
I blame stories like this for making people susceptible to Trump hopium.
I’ve written extensively about how my own experiences have colored and influenced my politics. I’m currently in course correction from believing conservatism can be reformed after Trump’s second term turned into a disaster, but I not about to swing all the way to the opposite extreme.
