Report plannng meeting SPLC

“The memorandum’s reliance on the SPLC is particularly disappointing, given that the SPLC has been utterly discredited as a reliable source. Its founder is said to have “viewed civil-rights work mainly as a marketing tool for bilking gullible Northern liberals,” and former staffers have confessed that the SPLC has been “ripping off its donors” by failing to “live[] up to the values it espoused.” Bob Moser, The Reckoning of Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center, New Yorker (Mar. 21, 2019)”

A Catholic journalist is warning that the Federal Bureau of Investigation recently took a foreboding step that should alarm conservative believers. It turns out the FBI actually cited the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) in a memo targeting traditionalist Catholics who follow the church’s teachings on marriage and who celebrate the Latin Mass. And critics say the SPLC’s far-left definition of hate groups is the real problem.
The memo – which was later withdrawn – talked of tracking interactions between so-called “radical-traditionalist Catholics” (RTC) and white nationalist groups, according to the online publication The Hill. It also proposed asking church leaders to spot “warning signs” of radicalization. The memo cited the SPLC in a list of nine Catholic organizations as “Defined RTC Hate Groups in the United States.”
As CBN News reported in February, the internal memo from the FBI’s Richmond office was rescinded by the agency after whistleblower Kyle Seraphin published it on UncoverDC.com on Feb. 8. The bureau’s national office said at the time the memo “does not meet the exacting standards of the FBI” and vowed to “conduct a review of the basis for the document.”
During a recent interview with the Heritage Foundation’s Daily Signal, Michael J. Matt, editor of the Catholic newspaper The Remnant and producer of Remnant TV in Forest Lake, Minnesota, said, “I have this suspicion that the SPLC was just laying the groundwork so that when the government gets far enough to the Left, they can start using these resources like the hate map to silence people.”
Matt told the outlet the SPLC brands Catholics “extremists” if they “still accept traditional church teaching on faith and morals,” describing Vatican II as an “updating of the church’s moral teachings, even though the teachings of the church haven’t actually changed at all.”

Update: The below Resolution was passed by the 3rd and 7th GOP district conventions on Saturday, April 22, 2023.
The Dustin Inman Society produced the below resolution and offered it to several county level Republican party activists before the county conventions in February. We hear several counties passed it out. We know it is also being considered in today’s district conventions. We are confident it will pass in many of those as well.
RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF ENFORCEMENT OF IMMIGRATION LAWS
Advocating for the attrition of Georgia’s illegal alien population through enforcement of state law and recognizing that illegal immigration amounts to organized crime largely caused by illegal employment that is ignored by elected and appointed officials.
WHEREAS, estimates of the number of illegal aliens in Georgia range up to 400,000 and that whatever the actual number no source of data has the number currently in decline; and
WHEREAS, illegal immigration attacks the rule of law upon which the American Republic and Georgia were founded and has created a significant reduction in the quality of life; and
WHEREAS, innocent Georgians are being murdered, raped, kidnapped and molested by illegal aliens in senseless and fully preventable crimes; and
WHEREAS, with the stated intention of reducing the illegal population, beginning in 2006 various well-crafted state laws were put in place aimed at making life difficult in Georgia for illegal employers, illegal aliens and elected and appointed officials who would ignore the intent of these laws; and
WHEREAS, state laws offering protections to Georgians that outlaw ‘sanctuary city’ policies are openly and defiantly violated without prosecution; and
WHEREAS, in today’s Georgia we see an obvious, troubling, and dangerous policy of intentional avoidance of the entire topic of illegal immigration by most of our state and local elected and appointed officials including our Republican state legislators and Gov. Kemp; and
WHEREAS, in 2018 Governor Kemp campaigned on making criminal aliens a priority in his administration, ending sanctuary city policies and to track and deport “criminal illegals” by pushing legislation through the state legislature that would create a public database of “criminal illegals”; and
WHEREAS, pending legislation in the General Assembly known as HB 136 would provide for a regular public report of criminal aliens serving time in the state prison system and list the crimes they committed in Georgia has stalled under the Gold Dome; and
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that 7th District Republican Party views that illegal immigration represents a clear and present danger to our children, our communities, our state, our nation, and our way of life.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this position of the 7th District be transmitted to the entire elected state Executive Branch and the entire Republican Legislators encouraging the passage of HB 136.

The below post is a copy of a letter to the editor published today in the Middle Georgia Houston Home Journal . There is a paywall. We are grateful to Mr. Trent for sending his letter along and for the kind words.
“I can’t help but wonder if Laken Riley’s family knows about Sen. Walker’s measure.”
April 17, 2024
Dear editor,
I write in regard to the guest column your newspaper published Saturday from Mr. D.A. King and the legislation sponsored by Sen. Larry Walker passed by the GOP-controlled General Assembly. I thank you for running the accurate and wisely written column. King is an expert. I too recommend that Gov. Kemp veto SB 354.
I hope readers and conservative voters in Middle Georgia recognize the fact while the Republican lawmakers were proudly boasting of passage of HB 1105 aimed criminal illegals and sanctuary policies, they also passed Walker’s SB 354 which is a literal written invitation to illegal aliens to come to Georgia. The irresponsible quest for more workers and more business in Georgia at any cost has gone over the top of the lunacy mark.
Inviting more illegals will produce more crime and needless misery for Georgians. I can’t help but wonder if Laken Riley’s family knows about Sen. Walker’s measure.
As a retired Senior Special Agent of the former Immigration and Naturalization Service (USINS) I have spent most of my life fighting the fully avoidable crime created by illegal immigration. I served on metropolitan area drug, and organized crime task forces for many years and have supervised special agents assigned to the Joint Terrorism Task Force. In addition, I spent ten years as a uniformed Border Patrol agent assigned to both the northern and southern borders.
My final assignment was as the Assistant Director, Enforcement Training, U.S. Immigration Officer Academy, Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, Glynco, GA.
Trusting voters should be reminded that as ‘candidate Kemp’ in 2018 our governor promised to focus on illegal immigration in Georgia and to end the already illegal sanctuary policies that some jailers have created. Having closely watched Gov. Kemp, I can say with great disgust that he has done nothing since then about our very real illegal immigration problem in Georgia.
If SB 354 becomes law, it will lead to more bills that further dismantle the system in place to discourage illegal immigration in Georgia.
Not many Republican voters want Georgia to be “a great place for illegals to live, work and raise a family.” But Nobody should be surprised if Gov. Kemp proudly signs Walker’s dangerous bill into law while assuring us that it’s “good for business.”
