[CitizensTruth] Any feedback on SPLC?

[Mike Kirk]

Geri,

I do recall that SPLC had looked into the OKC bombing event and seemed to offer more info beyond the "McVeigh did it alone" story.  They identified others (Strassmeier?) who could have been involved, but I never did follow up on this.

The SPLC states that they are funded entirely by private donors, but I have never looked or requested the list of who these donors are.  Follow the money.... :-)

I wonder if they ever contact those individuals who they "hate-list" or if they make their pronouncements on high from Birmingham?

-Mike

I too began to smell something funny about the SPLC when I discovered 
disinfo on its site about several persons. My own in-depth research 
proved that the  profiles of the persons in question were NOT the same 
as the negatively spun profiles offered by SPLC.

Maybe we should follow the SPLC money trail. I did this once but have 
long since forgotten all the interesting places it led to - so it would 
be good to archive this info once we get it together. Some of the links 
however lead to Elohim City of Oklahoma City Bombing fame.
