Let's take a look at the typical DOGE employee. At the same time we should mention how many MAGA supporters have regularly posted nonsense from Ron Unz in this forum. "Ron Unz—an infamous figure who has written about race science; donated money to the white nationalist website VDare, which according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, is a hate group; and has been accused by the Anti-Defamation League of “hardcore antisemitism,” including Holocaust denial." DOGE Worker Says He Was Radicalized by Reading Writer Who Later Denied Holocaust In a since-deleted Substack post, a member of Elon Musk’s team praised an essay by Ron Unz—who has called the Holocaust potentially a “hoax” and said Trayvon Martin was “a violent young thug.” https://www.motherjones.com/politic...z-holocaust-substack-post-sailer-vdare-trump/
Oh, do please provide an example of something they retract. While I don't agree with some of the their decisions on particular organizations they have identified as hate groups. I am not aware of them retracting a designation unless an organization with the label discontinued operations.
https://adflegal.org/setting-the-record-straight/ SPLC included Maajid Nawaz, a former Islamic extremist who has since devoted his life to opposing violence, and Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a renowned human rights activist who suffered at the hands of Islamic extremists, in its “Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists.” Mr. Nawaz threatened to sue for defamation. In response, SPLC pulled the Guide. Ultimately, SPLC publicly apologized for labelling Mr. Nawaz an extremist and agreed to pay a $3.375 million settlement. SPLC also publicly apologized to Dr. Ben Carson, who was included in its “Extremist File” in 2014 for his view that marriage is the union of one man and one woman.
So while SPLC has retracted its position on a few individuals (not many). There is not evidence of the SPLC retracting its position regarding a hate group.
Just like BLM, Southern Poverty Law Crock is a left wing gravy train. An overhead rate looking for public funding to attach itself to. A 1995 pitch (https://harpers.org/blog/2010/03/hate-immigration-and-the-southern-poverty-lawcenter/), sent when the SPLC was sitting on more than $60 million in reserves, told potential donors that the “strain on our current operating budget is the greatest in our 25-year history.” https://www.congress.gov/116/meeting/house/109266/documents/HHRG-116-JU00-20190409-SD022.pdf
Zero Hedge. LOL. The Russian propaganda outlet. All of the "DOGE exposures" have turned out to be lies including the claims about USAID in this article. The latest claims by Musk claiming all sorts of 150 year old people on Social Security have already been proven to be utterly false -- apparently his DOGE team does not even understand how the columns in the database work and what the information means. Making shit up is not "Genius" --- it's utterly stupid.
