NGOs Cosplaying as Overlords and Power Brokers - American Thinker

A bad week for Iran, the SPLC, and the Left in general.Clarice Feldman |- Clarice Feldman

That description comes from Chamath Palihapitiya, a venture capitalist, and relates to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which was just indicted by a federal grand jury in Alabama.

The SPLC was formed years ago to seek damages for KKK victims. Over the years, it amassed a fortune and used it and its connections with the media and the Democrats unfairly to tar and ruin the livelihoods and reputations of individuals and organizations with which it disagreed -- including groups like Moms for Liberty and Parents Defending Education. The switch proved immensely profitable. It has more than $800 million in assets, some hundreds of millions of which are held in offshore accounts like the Cayman Islands.
