1. The central claim in the indictment of SPLC is a lie.
The DOJ/FBI accuse SPLC of lying to donors about seeking to “dismantle” extremist groups while secretly funding them. But the funds were used to infiltrate & help law enforcement dismantle these groups. Kash Patel knows this is the truth…

Too bad it doesn’t have English subtitles.
So sad this film about a Ukrainian diaspora parade in Washington DC in 1964 has not even 2,000 views. It was a big deal and is a very important historical document.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.
Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
