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)”

“First of all, the SPLC, you have to understand, is probably one of the most evil groups in America. They’ve become a money-making machine and they’ve become an absolute Marxist, anarchist organization.”

SPLC Hate Map Under Fire After FBI Used It: Catholic Journalist Warns of Plan ‘to Silence People’

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The memo – which was later withdrawn – talked of tracking interactions between so-called “radical-traditionalist Catholics” (RTC) and white nationalist groups, according to the online publication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As CBN News reported in February, the internal memo from the FBI’s Richmond office was rescinded by the agency after whistleblower Kyle Seraphin published it on UncoverDC.com on Feb. 8.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 7^th 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 7^th District be transmitted to the entire elected state Executive Branch and the entire Republican Legislators encouraging the passage of  HB 136.
