Klansman allegedly on SPLC payroll was ‘true believer’ white supremacist, not reformed infiltrator

The Justice Department announced an indictment last week against the Southern Poverty Law Center for allegedly funneling millions of dollars to the very extremist groups it claimed to be fighting.

In addition to allegedly having a hand in the planning of the deadly 2017 Unite the Right event in Charlottesville, Virginia — which led to over $106.47 million in contributions in fiscal year 2024 alone — the SPLC has been credibly accused of bankrolling leaders and organizers in the Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Nation, the American Front, United Klans of America, the National Socialist Party of America, and the National Alliance.

‘The SPLC engaged in a massive fraud operation to deceive their donors.’

Eager to reassure deep-pocketed donors, SPLC CEO Bryan Fair claimed in a recent video statement that the individuals inside various extremist networks whom his organization has funded were actually “paid confidential informants” tasked with gathering “credible intelligence.”

Liberals rushed to embrace and defend Fair’s suggestion that the SPLC wasn’t backing its purported foes but rather “paying informants to expose and prevent violence by the KKK, neo-Nazis, and other hate groups.”

This narrative might have survived the month had the identities of the SPLC’s “informants” remained secret.

The New York Post, however, claims to have identified at least two of the eight radicals the smear- and fearmongering racket bankrolled.

The Post reported that one of the two alleged SPLC field sources referred to as “F-unknown” in the indictment was Bradley Scott Jenkins, an imperial wizard of the United Klans of America who regarded himself as the leader of the “true Klan.”

The SPLC noted in 2013 that the original United Klans of America — which was responsible for the deadly bombing of Birmingham’s 16th Street Baptist Church in 1963 — “dissolved after it was sued by the Southern Poverty Law Center in the 1980s, but in June 2011, longtime white nationalist Bradley Jenkins of Ashland, Ala., (now the UKA’s self-proclaimed imperial wizard) registered a domain name and attempted a comeback. Jenkins … dreams of rehabilitating the Klan’s image.”

Jenkins, a virulent white supremacist until his death in 2023 at the age of 50, not only revived a group that the SPLC identified as a “serious domestic threat” but reportedly showed no signs of reform or undermining the KKK’s agenda, according to his son, Noah Jenkins.

Noah Jenkins, 24, told the Post, “When I went to the rallies with him as a kid, I never saw anything that made me think he wasn’t a true believer.”

The wizard’s son long suspected that his father “was working with someone” but figured that “maybe he got into trouble and was threatened by [law enforcement] to become an informant to avoid jail or something.”

The SPLC did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

The other individual suspected of being one of the SPLC’s alleged “informants” is April Chambers of Georgia.

According to the Post, Chambers is the “F-unknown” described in the indictment as a KKK member who, along with her husband, “an Exalted Cyclops” of the Klan, sued the Peach State over the KKK’s unsuccessful attempt to participate in Georgia Adopt-a-Highway program.

The indictment alleges that “during the course of the litigation, known payments were traced from the SPLC to F-unknown which exceeded $3,500.00.”

Chambers, who did not respond to the Post’s request for comment, now apparently runs a home cleaning and handyman service.

FBI Director Kash Patel recently stated, “The SPLC engaged in a massive fraud operation to deceive their donors, funded the very hate groups they claim to oppose, and then hid their operations from the public through shell companies and fake entities.”

The SPLC has been charged with 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering.

Leftists ‘up in arms’ over new Tennessee law allowing deadly force to defend property

A newly passed Tennessee law is igniting controversy after lawmakers approved a measure allowing homeowners to use deadly force to protect their property under certain circumstances — and BlazeTV host John Doyle is thrilled, calling it “common sense.”

The legislation was sponsored by state Representative Kip Capley (R) and state Senator Joey Hensley (R) and aims to allow citizens to use deadly force to protect their property if they see no other options in protecting themselves.

And while Doyle is pleased, leftists predictably are not.

“Leftists are up in arms about this. You know, the usual antics saying that Republicans think that things are more freaking valuable than human life,” Doyle says.

Doyle argued against the leftist response in a post on X, writing: “Every red state should have this btw. You don’t have property rights if you cannot defend your property. There can be no asterisk.”

He went on in his post to mock leftists, adding, “‘Erm, so you’re saying a HUMAN LIFE is worth less than some THING?!’”

And while Doyle admits that they aren’t wrong in their assessment, he points out that it is actually the criminal who is deciding that their life is worth less than an object.

“If someone is trying to take your property from you, they have now decided that their life is on the line … because I could use deadly force. I could use lethal force to preserve my property,” he explains.

“But the situation we have now is the state’s going to come in and then step between me and the bad guy facing me and say, ‘Hey, you can’t do that. Human life is freaking valuable.’ … So you’re going to have to relinquish your personal possession because this Neanderthal decided that he wanted it,” he continues.

“That is so backwards,” he says. “Nowhere ever in the history of the world have property rights been understood in that context.”

Substitute teacher accused of ‘improper relationship between an educator and a student’

A substitute teacher from Texas has been accused of having an improper relationship with a student, according to police.

The Llano County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that the Llano Independent School District last Tuesday notified authorities about an alleged improper relationship between a substitute teacher and a student.

‘The district takes all allegations of this nature extremely seriously and remains committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for all students.’

Police identified the suspect as 27-year-old Angela Palmares.

“Investigators conducted interviews and collected evidence, which led to the issuance of an arrest warrant for Palmares,” police stated.

Officers with the Llano County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division and Bell County Sheriff’s Office Violent Crimes Apprehension Unit arrested Palmares without incident in Bell County on Wednesday, according to police.

Palmares has been “charged with improper relationship between an educator and a student,” which is a second-degree felony, the sheriff’s office said.

Under Texas law the offense occurs when an “employee of a public or private primary or secondary school … engages in sexual contact, sexual intercourse, or deviate sexual intercourse with a person who is enrolled in a public or private primary or secondary school at which the employee works.”

The New York Post reported that Palmares is being held on a $150,000 bond.

Mac Edwards, the school district superintendent, wrote a letter to parents saying the substitute teacher was “immediately removed from the list of available substitutes on April 21.”

Edwards added in the letter that an allegation surfaced from Llano High School regarding a substitute teacher and “inappropriate communication with students, specifically through a social media platform outside of the school day.” Edwards said authorities were “promptly” notified.

Edwards added that the substitute teacher had not worked in the school district since April 2.

“The district has been in contact with all of the parents of those students who have been directly impacted by this situation,” the letter stated.

“The district takes all allegations of this nature extremely seriously and remains committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for all students,” Edwards also wrote.

Edwards said the school district at present is “unable to provide additional details due to personnel and student privacy considerations.”

The Llano County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to Blaze News‘ request for comment.

Authorities are urging anyone with information related to the case or anyone who believes they may be a victim to contact the Llano County Sheriff’s Office at 325-247-5767 and request to speak with an investigator in the Criminal Investigation Division.
