SPLC indictment BOMBSHELL: Charlottesville violence allegedly was a leftist-funded ‘false flag’
Charlottesville, Virginia, became a flash point as tensions grew in August 2017 over the fate of American monuments that liberals deemed too racist to leave standing in public spaces.
A hodgepodge of protesters and counterprotesters — which included radical leftists, those opposed to removing Confederate statues, neo-Nazis, and white supremacists — descended on the city ahead of the so-called Unite the Right rally on Aug. 12.
Agitators helped ensure that the event went sideways.
‘Trigger the violence because you can’t stop the legitimate speech.’
Following a series of skirmishes between various factions, one demonstrator drove his car into a crowd of counterprotesters, injuring over 30 and killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer.
According to the grand jury indictment filed against the Southern Poverty Law Center on Tuesday, this bloody and tragic event — which the American left politically exploited for years and former President Joe Biden cited as his reason for running in 2020 — was the product, in part, of liberal machinations.
The indictment accuses the SPLC — a liberal outfit whose bread and butter is smearing law-abiding conservatives as “extremists” — of funneling millions of dollars to the very extremist groups it claimed to be fighting.

In addition to allegedly bankrolling leaders and organizers in the Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Nation, the National Socialist Party of America, and the National Alliance, the SPLC allegedly “had a field source who was a member of the online leadership chat group that planned the 2017 ‘Unite the Right’ event,” according to the indictment.
This field source, who is not named in the indictment, allegedly made “racist postings under the supervision of the SPLC and helped coordinate transportation to the event for several attendees.”
For their contributions to the cause, this field source was allegedly paid over $270,000 by the SPLC in secret between 2015 and 2023.
The SPLC did not respond to Blaze News’ request for comment.
While its insider was allegedly setting the stage for the rally, the SPLC worked feverishly to emphasize the importance of the planned event, noting in an Aug. 7, 2017, Hatewatch post, for example, that “the event may well become a seminal point for the Alt-Right and the extremist hate fringe: It’s a bold move beyond the anonymity of web sites, message boards, pseudonyms and social media — a move to take the hardcore, racist, white nationalist message to the public square.”
In the same post, the SPLC hyped the possibility of violence at the “‘summer of hate’ gathering of racist extremists from all corners of the country,” noting that “the looming social chemistry on a hot summer weekend … seems to point to the clear possibility of violence.”
The bloodletting in Charlottesville proved to be a windfall for the SPLC.
Days after the event, Apple CEO Tim Cook stated that “hate is a cancer and left unchecked it destroys everything in its path.” Seeking to “help organizations who work to rid our country of hate,” Cook announced that his company was making a $1 million contribution to the SPLC.
Soon thereafter, JP Morgan Chase & Co. pledged half a million to the SPLC, and George and Amal Clooney announced that they were dumping $1 million into SPLC to help it highlight the imagined dangers of white-supremacist ideology.
The Clooneys said in a statement at the time, “What happened in Charlottesville, and what is happening in communities across our country, demands our collective engagement to stand up to hate.”
According to the indictment against the SPLC announced by the Justice Department on Tuesday, such donations collected from deep-pocketed liberals “under the auspices that the funds would be used to ‘dismantle’ violent extremist groups … was, instead, being used, in part, by the SPLC to pay leaders and others within these same violent extremist groups.”
The SPLC allegedly poured over $3 million in such funds to field sources associated with violent extremist groups between 2014 and 2023. These money transfers were allegedly made through a series of bank accounts created in the name of fictional entities, including the Center Investigative Agency, Fox Photography, North West Technologies, and Rare Books Warehouse.
The revelation that an SPLC plant might have been involved in the Unite the Right rally would help explain why the organization was so desperate to attack the notion that the event was a “false flag” from the start.
In the immediate aftermath of the violent rally, Alex Jones reportedly accused the SPLC of hiring actors to dress up like racists and prompt a crackdown by police on the rally’s legitimate attendees.
“That’s the plan,” Jones said. “Trigger the violence because you can’t stop the legitimate speech.”
Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar (R) was among the others who similarly suspected something was fishy, telling Vice News in October 2017 that the rally was likely “created by the left.”
The SPLC insisted that claims that the event was a “false flag” operation or that leftist infiltrators were among its organizers — Jason Kessler, the event’s primary organizer, was previously an Obama-supporting Occupy protester — were ludicrous “conspiracy theories” that served only to demonstrate “the strength of the link between the conspiratorial extreme right (Jones, Infowars, Gateway Pundit, etc) and the racist ‘alt-right.'”

Trump not worried about Canada’s China-centric ‘new world order’
Try explaining this one: President Donald Trump’s relaxed — almost insouciant — response to news that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney pledged allegiance to a China-centered “new world order.”
Why did Trump appear to shrug off Carney’s insistence that Canada’s future lies more with China than with the United States?
Carney’s favorable assessment of China’s role in climate and green finance is not an isolated remark.
Perhaps it has something to do with Greenland and Canada being viewed as components of Trump’s broader Western Hemisphere security plan.
Cue the black helicopters
Not long ago, “new world order” belonged firmly in the vocabulary of conspiracy theorists. But in Beijing last week, Carney elevated the phrase into an official Liberal talking point.
So what did Carney say? Plenty.
Mine is the first visit of a Canadian prime minister to China in nearly a decade. The world has changed much since that last visit, and I believe the progress that we have made in the partnership sets us up well for the new world order.
Trump did not respond immediately. Instead, he waited until the end of the news day last Friday before offering his reaction.
“That’s what he should be doing, and it’s a good thing for him to sign a trade deal. If you can get a deal with China, you should do that,” Trump said.
Not the response many expected from a president who has urged countries in the Western Hemisphere to distance themselves from Beijing.
World order word salad
Pressed on what he meant by a “new world order,” Carney responded with his characteristic blend of abstraction and deflection.
So the question is, what gets built in that place? How much of a patchwork is it? How much is it just on a bilateral basis? Or where do like-minded countries in certain areas? So like-minded countries, just to be clear, doesn’t mean you agree on everything. So aspects, for example, on digital trade or agricultural trade, climate finance as another area to move into areas of geo-strategy, geo-security, you will have different coalitions that are formed. So what this partnership does is in areas, for example, of clean energy, conventional energy, agriculture, as we were just talking about, and financial services, which we have talked less about, but the evolution of the global financial system.
Trump’s nonchalance was not shared by conservative commentators, who sharply criticized Carney’s remarks.
Alex Jones, for one, described Carney as “a Klaus Schwab acolyte” and warned: “You are about to see the globalist prime minister of Canada pledge allegiance to the communist dictator in China, Xi Jinping.”

China guy
So far, Carney’s new world order with China has produced a trade agreement allowing up to 49,000 electric vehicles to be imported into Canada annually at a reduced tariff of 6.1%. In return, China is expected to lower tariffs on Canadian agricultural exports — most notably canola oil, a key cash crop for Canadian farmers — to roughly 15%.
But there is nothing new about Carney’s deference to China.
After leaving the Bank of England in 2020, Carney became vice chairman of the board of Bloomberg L.P., the privately held financial data and media company founded by Michael Bloomberg. During the same period, he also served as co-chair of the U.N.-backed Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero, working alongside Bloomberg in his separate capacity as the United Nations’ Special Envoy on Climate Ambition and Solutions.
In that capacity, Carney consistently praised the alleged environmental stewardship of China, somehow locating a deep commitment to fighting climate change in a country that continues to power its economy with coal-fired plants.
Take Carney’s March 2024 visit to China, during which he told a reporter for the Chinese business outlet 21st Century Business Herald (English translation via Google Translate):
China has made a huge contribution to the fight against climate change, not only in terms of its massive investment in clean technologies and exporting them to other countries, but also in actively developing the financial system needed for the green transition.
Yuan to grow on
Carney’s favorable assessment of China’s role in climate and green finance is not an isolated remark. It aligns with a broader argument he has advanced in recent years: that global economic leadership should become more multipolar, with China playing a larger role alongside — rather than beneath — U.S. dominance.
That worldview extends to currency and finance. At the 2019 Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, Carney argued that the world should reduce its dependence on the U.S. dollar by exploring a new “synthetic hegemonic currency,” a framework designed to dilute the dominance of any single national currency.
Carney did not explicitly call for the Chinese yuan to replace the U.S. dollar outright. But his proposal would, by design, weaken the centrality of the dollar and expand the influence of non-U.S. currencies and financial systems.
Trump, for his part, has twice endorsed Carney during Canadian federal elections. Their relationship — particularly during Oval Office meetings — has been described as friendly, though it may be better understood as Trump indulging a leader he views as temporary.
Why does Trump consistently give Carney a pass?
Perhaps because Trump sees Carney less as a lasting architect of global order than as a passing phenomenon — unlikely to impede the president’s broader aim of reinforcing American economic primacy, regardless of how warmly Carney speaks of China’s place in the world.
