The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is an American legal advocacy organization, internationally known for its tolerance education programs, its legal victories against white supremacists and its tracking of hate groups, militias, anThe Southern Poverty Law Center was organized by civil rights lawyers Dees and Levin in 1971 during a desegregation case (Smith v. Young Men's Christian Association), as a law firm to handle anti-discrimination cases in the United States. The organization's first president was Julian Bond, formerly of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Bond served as president until 1979 and remains on its board of directors. In 1979 the Center brought the first of its many cases against the Ku Klux Klan. In 1981 the Center began its "Klanwatch" (now "Hatewatch") project to monitor and track the activities of the KKK, which has been expanded to include seven other types of hate organizations
extremist organizations. The SPLC classifies as hate groups those organizations which it has determined “have beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their immutable characteristics..."
The SPLC, based in Montgomery, Alabama, was founded in 1971 by Morris Dees and Joseph J. Levin Jr. as a civil rights law firm. Later, civil rights leader Julian Bond became its president. In addition to free legal service to the victims of discrimination and hate crimes, the Center publishes a quarterly Intelligence Report that investigates extremism and hate crimes in the United States.
In July 1983, Klan members firebombed the center's office, destroying the building and records. Federal investigators said "the intruders went to work quickly, dousing files, desks and carpets with a petroleum based liquid, perhaps gasoline mixed with motor oil or diesel fuel and concentrating on the four corners of the 6,000-square-foot (560 m2) building." In February 1985 Klan members and a Klan sympathizer pleaded guilty to federal and state charges related to the fire. At the trial, "Joe M. Garner and Roy T. Downs Jr., identified as klansmen, and Charles Bailey pleaded guilty to a two-count information charging them with conspiring to threaten, oppress and intimidate members of black organizations represented by the law center." Over 30 people have been jailed in connection with plots to kill Dees or blow up the center.
That same year, Dees became the primary assassination target of The Order, a revolutionary white supremacist group, for his work with the SPLC. Radio host Alan Berg was killed by the group outside his Colorado home; he was the number two on its list.
When Klansmen, in 1981, lynched a black teenager in Mobile, Alabama, SPLC lawyers used an unprecedented legal strategy to hold the Klan accountable for the acts of its members. In 1987, the group won its case against the United Klans of America, producing a $7 million judgment for the mother of Michael Donald, the lynched victim. The verdict bankrupted the United Klans of America and resulted in its national headquarters being sold to help satisfy the judgment. In 1987 the Klan again targeted Dees and planned to bomb the SPLC. During the past 25 years, SPLC lawsuits have bankrupted or crippled 12 major hate groups whose members killed, injured or threatened innocent people.
In 1989 the Center unveiled its Civil Rights Memorial designed by Maya Lin. The Center's "Teaching Tolerance" project was initiated in 1991, and its "Klanwatch" program has gradually expanded to include other "anti-hate" monitoring projects and a list of reported "hate groups" in the United States.
In October 1990, the SPLC won $12.5 million in damages against Tom Metzger and his White Aryan Resistance when a Portland, Oregon, jury held the neo-Nazi group liable in the beating death of an Ethiopian immigrant. While Metzger lost his home and will not be publishing any more material, the full amount of the multi-million dollar reward was not recovered. In 1995 a group of four white males were indicted for plans to blow up the SPLC.
In May 1998, three white supremacists were arrested for allegedly planning a nationwide campaign of assassinations and bombings targeting "Morris Dees, an undisclosed federal judge in Illinois, a black radio-show host in Missouri, Dees's Southern Poverty Law Center in Alabama, the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, and the Anti-Defamation League in New York." Also in 1998, a news article in The Washington Post described the SPLC as "a controversial, liberal organization".
Several neo-Nazi groups held a rally in front of SPLC headquarters in early 2003.
In July 2007, the SPLC filed suit against the Imperial Klans of America (IKA) in Meade County, where in July 2006 five Klansmen allegedly beat Jordan Gruver, a 16-year-old boy of Panamanian descent, at a Kentucky county fair. Since filing the suit the SPLC has received nearly a dozen threats "promising the most dangerous threat" ever faced. A July 2007 letter allegedly came from Hal Turner, a white supremacist talk show host. During the November 2008 trial on the lawsuit, a former member of the IKA said that the Klan head told him to kill Dees.
In 2008, the SPLC and Dees were featured on National Geographic's Inside American Terror exploring their litigation against several branches of the Ku Klux Klan.
The Southern Poverty Law Center has won many notable civil cases with large money awards for the plaintiffs. The SPLC has said it does not accept any portion of monetary judgments. In addition to providing free magazines and videos on race relations to more than 50,000 schools, Dees and the SPLC "have been credited with devising innovative legal ways to cripple hate groups, including seizing their assets."
Young Men's Christian Association
The first SPLC case was filed by Dees and Levin against the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) in Montgomery, Alabama who "continued to segregate children, going so far as to ban kids who swam at an integrated pool from city-wide meets." In 1969, the YMCA refused to allow two black children to its summer camp, and they sued on behalf of the children's parents. In the course of the lawsuit, Dees "uncovered a secret 1958 agreement between the city and the YMCA in which city officials gave the YMCA control of many city recreational activities." In 1971 SPLC assumed responsibility for the case. In 1972 the court ruled that Montgomery had given the YMCA control with a "municipal character," and "ordered the YMCA to stop its discriminatory, segregationist practices."
Invisible Empire, Knights of the KKK
In 1979, over 100 members of the Invisible Empire Klan, armed with bats, ax handles and guns, clashed with a group of peaceful civil rights marchers in Decatur, Alabama. Two marchers were shot in the head and face. Others were beaten with clubs and sticks. The FBI did not find enough evidence of a conspiracy to charge the Klansmen involved. The SPLC filed a civil suit, Brown v. Invisible Empire, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama in 1980 against the Invisible Empire and numerous Klansmen. During court discovery procedures, SPLC uncovered evidence that convinced the FBI to reopen the case, and nine Klansmen were eventually convicted of criminal charges. In 1990, the civil suit was finally resolved through a unique settlement, requiring the Klansmen to pay damages, perform community service, and refrain from white supremacist activity. In a unique addition, the Klansmen were also required to attend a course on race relations and prejudice, taught by the leaders of the civil rights group they attacked back in 1979.
Vietnamese fishermen
In 1981 the SPLC took the Klan to court to stop racial harassment and intimidation against Vietnamese fisherman. In May 1981 the courts sided with the Vietnamese fisherman and the SPLC, forcing the Klan to end harassment. Also in 1981 the SPLC won a case which "ordered an Alabama county to pay salaries to the staff of its first black probate judge, continuing a practice that, in violation of state law, had been in use for more than two decades."
White Patriot Party
Bearing guns and dressed in paramilitary uniforms, members of the Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (a.k.a. Confederate Knights of the Ku Klux Klan) terrorized a black prison guard, his family and others in 1982. In 1984, Bobby Person, the prison guard, became the lead plaintiff in an SPLC lawsuit, Person v. Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina against the Invisible Empire. During the litigation, Klansmen continued harassing and threatening the plaintiffs, and the court issued an order prohibiting any person from interfering with other persons inside the federal courthouse.
In January 1985, the Court issued a consent order that prohibited Glenn Miller, the group's Grand Dragon, and members of the group from training and operating a paramilitary organization; marching or parading in black neighborhoods; and harassing, intimidating, threatening or harming any black or white person who associates with black persons. The plaintiff's claims for damages were dismissed and the Consent Decree was made final in September 1985. After changing the group's name to the White Patriot Party, Miller resumed paramilitary operations and Klan business as usual. Less than a year later, Miller and others were found guilty of criminal contempt for violating the consent order. Miller was sentenced to 6 months in prison, six months suspended sentence and 3 years probation during which he could not associate with any members of the White Patriot Party or other racist groups. The contempt verdict was upheld by the Fourth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in 1988.[40] Miller went underground, declared war on Jews and the federal government and was again arrested and served three years in federal prison on a weapons charge.
United Klans of America
In 1987 the SPLC successfully brought a civil case, on behalf of the victim's family, against the United Klans of America (UKA) for the 1981 lynching of Michael Donald, a 19-year-old black man in Mobile, Alabama. Unable to come up the $7 million awarded by the jury, the UKA was forced to turn over its national headquarters to Donald's mother, who then sold it and used the money to purchase her first house.
White Aryan Resistance
On November 13, 1988 in Portland, Oregon, three white supremacist members of East Side White Pride and White Aryan Resistance beat to death Mulugeta Seraw, an Ethiopian man who came to the United States to attend college. In October 1990 the SPLC won a civil case on behalf of the deceased's family against WAR's operator Tom Metzger and Tom's son, John Metzger for a total of $12.5 million. The Metzgers declared bankrupcty, and WAR went out of business. The cost of work for the trial was absorbed by Anti-Defamation League as well as the SPLC. Metzger still makes payments to Seraw's family.
Church of the Creator
In May 1991 Harold Mansfield Jr, a black war veteran in the United States Navy, was murdered by a member of the neo-Nazi "Church of the Creator" (now called the Creativity Movement). SPLC represented the victim's family in a civil case winning a judgement of $1 million from the church in March 1994. The church transferred ownership to William Pierce, head of the National Alliance, to avoid money being paid to Mansfield's heirs; the SPLC filed suit against Pierce for his role in the fraudulent scheme, and won an $85,000 judgment in 1995. The amount was upheld on appeal and the money was collected prior to Pierce's death in 2002. According to a former member of the Alliance, when SPLC sued Pierce the Alliance was worried it would be the end of the hate group.
Christian Knights of the KKK
The SPLC won a $37.8 million verdict for Macedonia Baptist Church, a 100-year-old black church in Manning, South Carolina, against two Ku Klux Klan chapters and five Klansmen (Christian Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and Invisible Empire, Inc.) in July 1998. The money was awarded stemming from arson convictions in which the Klan burned down the historic black church in 1995. Morris Dees told the press, "If we put the Christian Knights out of business, what's that worth? We don't look at what we can collect. It's what the jury thinks this egregious conduct is worth that matters, along with the message it sends." According to The Washington Post the amount is the "largest-ever civil award for damages in a hate crime case."
Aryan Nations
In September 2000 the SPLC won a $6.3 million judgment against the Aryan Nations from an Idaho jury who awarded punitive and compensatory damages to a woman and her son who were attacked by Aryan Nations guards. The lawsuit stemmed from the July 1998 attack when security guards at the Aryan Nations compound in Idaho shot at Victoria Keenan and her son. Bullets struck their car several times then the car crashed and an Aryan Nations member held the Keenans at gunpoint. As a result of the judgement, Richard Butler turned over the 20-acre (81,000 m2) compound to the Keenans who then sold the property to a philanthropist who subsequently donated it to North Idaho College, which designated the land as a "peace park." Because of the lawsuit members of the AN drew up a plan to kill Dees, which was disrupted by the FBI.
Separation of church and state
Ten Commandments monument controversy
In 2002 the SPLC and the American Civil Liberties Union filed suit against Alabama Supreme Court justice Roy Moore for authorizing a two ton display of the Ten Commandments on public property. Moore, late at night and without telling any other court justice, had installed a 5,280 pound (2400 kg) granite block, three feet wide by three feet deep by four feet tall, of the Ten Commandments. After refusing to obey several court rulings Moore was eventually removed from the court, and the monument was removed as well.

Pay attention to the signs and the actions of cult-like people. These people are believers of this statue or this image of the god of the ocean, with a staff and a snake around it. Look at the American flag, it has 13 stripes that represent the 13 original states


{conferate states}.


The stripes represent the snake, with a meaning of


"don`t tread on me".


If you were to put all of the signs together and compare them with the actions of the people who believe and worship in gods, what would you get? Sexual domination is the power of people like this, and they have been formed to believe and have been forced to do as their rulers and leaders. We live in cult-like societies now in todays time, this day and age, it would be hard to believe, huh? People are gullible enough to believe and scared enough to follow. Some people are lost in knowledge concerning who they follow, and this American government has a very establish and organized cult within its core. Our president is at risk everyday, when he steps out in public, and maybe even within his own house. Lincoln was assassinated because he was not a part of this cult, which has been in exsistence since before the development of our country. The bible was a document of control and deception. The man that died in the name of Jesus Christ was an African Amerian, who did not respect authority, therefore he was killed in public, where the secret society of the Roman government was bold enough to use his death as LAW. Before he was cruscified, he spoke in parables to the world who knew not about the scriptures, or the intent of the government. His death was an example to others who protested any actions of government. His name was Jehoshua Ben-Pandira, a Hebrew/ Muslim. He feared nothing except Allah, and died to prove his faith. He was a martyr.
