Ep. 1767 - EXPOSED: Is This The Worst Political Psy-Op In Modern History?
22 Apr 2026
Chapter 1: What recent news has emerged about the Charlottesville rally?
If you've ever thought that everything is a giant PSYOP, that major events the kind that dictate the course of American politics are all fake and engineered, then the news that broke yesterday was as close to a total vindication as you'll ever get.
On the other hand, if you thought that color revolutions only happen overseas and that America is immune from successful campaigns of mass deception, all orchestrated by corrupt political actors to mimic natural grassroots events, then this is a story that you need to hear.
The Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, was supposedly the defining moment of Donald Trump's first term in office. That's what we were told relentlessly for years on end by both political parties, along with every mainstream media outlet in the country.
It was a mask-off moment in which neo-Nazis, emboldened by Donald Trump, supposedly, violently rioted in the streets, killing an innocent woman in the process. And we were told Donald Trump endorsed these neo-Nazis live on national television, calling them very fine people. That's what Joe Biden said when he launched his campaign for president and about 10 million times after that.
The rally was definitive proof that white supremacy was alive and well in the United States. Watch.
Charlottesville is also home to a defining moment for this nation in the last few years. It was there, in August of 2017, we saw Klansmen and white supremacists and neo-Nazis come out in the open. Their crazed faces, illuminated by torches, veins bulging and bearing the fangs of racism, chanting the same anti-Semitic bile heard across Europe in the 30s.
And they were met by a courageous group of Americans, and a violent clash ensued. and a brave young woman lost her life. And that's when we heard the words of the President of the United States that stunned the world and shocked the conscience of this nation. He said there were, quote, some very fine people on both sides. Very fine people on both sides?
With those words, the President of the United States assigned a moral equivalence between those spreading hate and those with the courage to stand against it.
Well, all of corporate America lined up to push this message. Shortly after the Unite the Right rally, Apple announced a $2 million donation to so-called anti-hate groups, including SPLC, the Southern Poverty Law Center. The CEO, Tim Cook, declared that hate is a cancer and left unchecked, it destroys everything in its path. JPMorgan Chase and the Clooney Foundation did the same thing.

Chapter 2: How did the media portray the Unite the Right rally and its aftermath?
In fact, five days before Charlottesville, Cam Higbee reports that SPLC received $375,000 from the state of Alabama. So this is an extremely well-funded group with money coming from everybody, including the taxpayers, apparently. And this continued for years. The left was obsessed with Charlottesville, as you probably remember. It's the hoax that simply never died.
You can make the case that it lasted longer than Russiagate. Four years after Biden's campaign video in 2024, Kamala Harris again invoked Charlottesville on the debate stage. Watch.
Let's remember Charlottesville, where there was a mob of people carrying tiki torches, spewing anti-Semitic hate. And what did the president then at the time say? There were fine people on each side.
Now, every single aspect of this narrative as told by every media outlet and by every prominent politician in Washington was a lie. We've known that for some time. Trump did not endorse white supremacy. In fact, he explicitly did the opposite. And contrary to what CNN would have you believe, you don't have to be a neo-Nazi to oppose the removal of Robert E. Lee's statue.
You simply have to be an American, someone who's interested in preserving our shared history and venerating our national heroes. of which Robert E. Lee is one of them, rather than defaming them. And that describes most of the people who attended that rally. And on top of that, you weren't told the full story about the woman who died during this rally.
You were led to believe that Heather Heyer was murdered in cold blood by a white supremacist who drove into a crowd on purpose. That's not what the authorities believed at first, before the mob demanded vengeance.
Police officers actually thought the incident was not malicious at all based on the fact that the driver was visibly horrified that somebody had died, the fact that his car had been surrounded and struck by an object, and the fact that the man had just Googled directions to his home, not the place where the attack happened. In other words, he was not a domestic terrorist.
It looked a lot like he got lost and panicked after he was surrounded on his way home. Now, these are points that over the past decade, various conservative commentators have made or tried to make, but they've never really resonated, in part because many Republican politicians accepted the left's narrative on Unite the Right.
It's also because, as we all know from experience, it's not easy to compete with a full-on hoax once it gets going. Propagandists who are willing to lie over and over again, no matter how flagrantly they do it, are usually pretty convincing. Now, the average person doesn't have time to fact check every detail or do independent research.

Chapter 3: What allegations have surfaced regarding the SPLC's involvement?
There's now very good reason to believe that at Charlottesville, what we saw was the product of a deliberate engineered effort to destroy the image of Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Again, back in 2017, a claim like that would seem pretty far-fetched to most people.
After all, what are the odds that a well-funded left-wing group aligned with the Democrat Party would actually pay people to act like Nazis at this small rally in Charlottesville, Virginia?
What are the odds that actually the entire event was a PSYOP engineered from the beginning to give Democrats a pretext to wage war against quote-unquote white supremacy, which of course actually means white people and conservatism in general? Well, the odds were pretty good as it turns out.
Last night, the DOJ released an indictment alleging that the Southern Poverty Law Center or SPLC funded and supported an individual who was closely involved in coordinating the Unite the Right rally. And not only that, SPLC was funding directly or indirectly a lot of other supposedly right-wing extremism, including the KKK. Yes, according to the DOJ, the SPLC, the left's preferred anti-hate group,
was allegedly paying affiliates of the KKK. Watch.
According to the indictment, between 2014 and 2023, SPLC paid at least $3 million to eight individuals at least. These individuals were affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan, United Clans of America, National Socialist Movement, Aryan Nations Affiliated Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club, the Nationalist Socialist Party of America, Nazis, and the American Front.
Now, as the indictment lays out, after SPLC paid members of these extremist groups, it created work product that reported on these activities that the members participated in or contributed to. And to that end, it was doing the exact opposite of what it's told its donors it was doing, not dismantling extremism, but funding it.
To carry out this scheme, SPLC created bank accounts in the name of at least five completely fictitious organizations that had no bona fide employees or legitimate business purpose. The money was passed from SPLC to one sham account to a second sham account and then loaded onto prepaid cards to give to the members of the extremist groups.
Now, before we go into the specifics of the indictment, if you're not familiar with the SPLC, they're one of the most dishonest and dangerous left-wing organizations in the entire country. They exist to provide a pretext for the censorship and harassment of conservatives with the goal of destroying their lives. They also hate Americans, especially white Americans.

Chapter 4: What evidence suggests the SPLC funded extremist groups?
That's a small fraction of the three million dollars the SPLC has allegedly paid to fund various extremists in other groups. What this means is that if the DOJ's indictment is accurate, The SPLC is probably the single greatest funder of white supremacy, quote unquote, in the entire country.
I mean, no one else is paying this kind of money to fund white nationalist rallies, which is why the SPLC had to do it themselves.

Chapter 5: How did corporate America react to the Charlottesville rally narrative?
This is why Biden and Merrick Garland declared that white supremacy was the greatest domestic terror threat facing the country. All of their messaging was directly in sync with the SPLC because they were getting it from the SPLC. And that's why, according to the DOJ, the SPLC's efforts went far beyond the Unite the Right rally.
This is also from the DOJ's indictment about another field source for the SPLC. Quote, F9 was affiliated with the neo-Nazi organization, the National Alliance, and served as an F for the SPLC for more than 20 years. F9's activities included fundraising for the National Alliance. Between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC secretly paid F9 more than a million dollars.
So if we're following this allegation, the SPLC paid a million dollars to somebody who was affiliated with a neo-Nazi organization. And then this informant, in turn, raised money for the neo-Nazi organization. So according to this indictment, the SPLC was going out of its way to ensure that a neo-Nazi group remained in existence.
At the same time, they were calling for the eradication of right-wing hate. but they were actually doing everything in their power to fund neo-Nazis. And it was clear why they wanted to do that. Take a look at this screenshot from the SPLC's website. The caption reads, the Department of Homeland Security posted this image with the caption, which way American man in August 2025.
The caption appears to be a reference to a white nationalist book published by the National Alliance, a neo-Nazi hate group. So again, you see how this works. The SPLC wants groups like the National Alliance to exist so that they can accuse the Trump administration of associating with them.
Meanwhile, the SPLC doesn't tell you that in secret, they're not simply associating with these groups, they are funding them. And according to the indictment, this happened all the time. Quote, the SPLC funneled more than $160,000 from a fictitious entity to F11, who then sent funds to various violent extremist groups, leaders including the former Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
Now, it's the kind of strategy that's effective because unless you're extremely familiar with how depraved left-wing activists are, it would never occur to you that they're doing any of this. But they feel a need to do it because otherwise there would be no right-wing hate groups. If the SPLC did not fund them, they would not exist.
And then Democrats would lose power and the SPLC would run out of money. Now, it's the same reason that your antivirus software bugs you all the time. If your antivirus software told you the truth, which is that you really don't need to pay for antivirus software anymore, then obviously nobody would subscribe. So instead, they pester you with fake threats and scare tactics.
And it's kind of the same principle, except in the case of the SPLC, they were having a substantial effect on American politics. And the more you read this indictment, the more you realize how shameless it was. According to the DOJ, the SPLC was paying the same Klan members that it was complaining about by name on its website.
