Daily Stormer
March 31, 2019

I want to note that there is not a systematic culture of racism and sexism at the Daily Stormer – even though I support both racism and sexism, I am a genuinely friendly person. I have never even raped my secretary.

Morris Dees and Richard Cohen are not friendly people.

They are deranged skin-hating perverts who claimed to be fighting racism and sexism.

CNN:

Some employees at the Southern Poverty Law Center say the legendary civil rights nonprofit group suffers from a “systemic culture of racism and sexism within its workplace.”

The SPLC, which has been on the front line of the fight against racial inequality and injustice in the United States since 1971, has been thrust into chaos after allegations over its treatment of minority and female employees.

CNN is confused.

For so very many years, they’ve been citing the SPLC as the ultimate authority. Literally, anything the group says was taken as if Yahweh himself had carved it into stone. And now they have to report on them negatively.

So they are continuing to claim they are on the “front lines of fighting racism” while they are reporting that they are in fact on the front lines of doing racism.

The reality is that the SPLC was simply a money racket that did nothing but hype up a fake agenda to harass hillbillies and bloggers. They do not even do poverty law.

The claims have been followed by changes in its leadership and a company-wide review.

CNN spoke with three current employees of the organization who talked on condition of anonymity because of fears over possible retribution.

It was one of those employees who cited the systemic problems with racism and sexism, and a second employee agreed with that assessment.

The Alabama-based activist group is nationally known for tracking civil rights abuses and hate crimes, while preaching tolerance. The group established itself as a crusading force by fighting racism and exposing extremist groups, taking many cases pro bono. A famed civil rights activist, the late Julian Bond, was the group’s first president.

I think they only take cases “pro bono.”

That’s because they have half a billion dollars stored in off-shore accounts. They do nothing but fund-raise all the time. They are making a massive profit.

I think they are basically getting into Bernie Madoff territory in that they are ripping off Jewish donors. Madoff was a Jew who ripped off other Jews and he got no sympathy from the Jews.

But one of the employees who spoke to CNN alleged the organization suffers from a “pervasive racist culture” and an environment in which a woman is not seen or heard. She also said qualified African-American employees were regularly passed over for promotions — including one African-American colleague she describes as brilliant. She added, “My boss only hires white people.”

The employee described the current upheaval at the SPLC as a revolution against the organization’s leadership, “initiated by employees” because workers were “tired of seeing the pervasive culture exist” unchallenged by those in charge.

The SPLC fired co-founder Morris Dees on March 13 and launched a top-to-bottom external review of workplace culture, headed by former Michelle Obama chief-of-staff Tina Tchen.

Tina is also running the Chicago State’s Attorney plot to free Jussie Smollett.

Very strange that this fat gook is showing up in both of these top stories right now.

The organization said Dees had previously been disciplined after a prior investigation into “inappropriate conduct.” It would not elaborate on the nature of that conduct.

…

Last week, Cohen himself stepped down after more than 30 years with the center, saying his departure would help the SPLC move forward.

“We’ve heard from our staff that we need to do a better job of making sure that our workplace embodies the values we espouse — truth, justice, equity, and inclusion,” Cohen said in a statement.

Jews are so sickening.

Of course they are doing racism and sexism at their anti-racist, anti-sexist organization.

Have you seen what they do to the Arabs?

All of this “anti-racist” bullshit is just bullshit.

The Jews are the most racist people of all.

I’ve never killed a Palestinian child. Jews do it all the time. And the SPLC is suing me for saying that.

Jews literally just accuse their enemies of everything they do. This sometimes leads to bizarre accusations, such as that white people who want to have their own countries “think they should rule over other races.” Obviously, white nationalists do not think they should rule over other races, we just want our own countries. Jews accuse us of that because that’s what they are doing.

The same is true for saying that white nationalists think whites are “the master race.” No one thinks like that other than the Jews.

They tell us that “rape culture” is white, while over 80% of the metoo perverts were Jewish.

It is some sick psychological defect of the Jews that they compulsively accuse others of everything they do.

The SPLC continues to go through upheaval, with its legal director abruptly resigning in recent days. She would not comment when contacted by CNN.

One employee said of Cohen’s departure, “Employees asked the president to step down. He didn’t do anything to change the culture, and he left because of it.”

CNN reached out multiple times on Monday to Dees and Cohen about the workplace allegations. They have not returned our messages.

That must sting, huh CNN?

Your BFF blowing you off like that.

When initially asked about his termination, Dees told CNN it wasn’t his decision to leave SPLC. “It’s a very fine group. I’ve devoted 50 years of my life to the center. I wish them the very best,” Dees said. He would not elaborate on how he learned about his dismissal or the reasoning behind it. He only said that he “can let (his) life’s work and reputation speak for itself.”

In the past few years, Dees said, he mostly went to the center to make calls to big donors.

As SPLC’s chief trial counsel, Dees began in the early 1980s to use courts to secure monetary damages against hate groups. As part of the judgments he helped win against those groups, courts would then seize the groups’ assets.

In 1981, Dees successfully sued the Ku Klux Klan and won a $7 million judgment for the mother of Michael Donald, a black lynching victim in Alabama. The judgment bankrupted the United Klans of America, which had to sell its national headquarters to help pay it off.

This was all a gigantic hoax.

The Klan had basically ceased to exist by 1981. David Duke left in the late 70s because there was literally nothing going on with this group.

All that Dees did was use the specter of the Klan, and then go and sue some random hillbillies who were calling themselves the Klan.

You can still go down to Alabama now and find some guy with a PO box saying he’s the KKK. That doesn’t mean they are a relevant political or social force. And they weren’t when Dees sued them.

It was a publicity stunt.

The SPLC communications department, while defending the group’s handling of the current crisis, has not responded to questions about the specific substance of the various allegations. A spokeswoman said the group’s leadership has taken the initiative to improve culture, and that Cohen urged leadership changes in October, prompting the SPLC board to appoint a search committee for his replacement.

“Richard told the board that a number of legacy civil rights organizations had transitioned to a new generation of leaders in recent years and that we should, too,” spokeswoman Jen Fuson told CNN.

“The events of the last week have been a clear reminder that the walk towards justice must start at your own front door,” Bryan Fair, chairman of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s board, said in a statement.

…

One of the employees told CNN that the rank-and-file within the SPLC are deeply divided between those who are seeking a complete overhaul and those who support leadership efforts to review the culture.

“We are so divided,” the employee said. “I want to see us rise through the ashes. The white males here who are calling the shots can’t ruin us.“

Ha.

Nigger, who is “us”?

This is a Jewish organization.

The SPLC is an organization for JEWS, by JEWS.

(Even though Morris Dees isn’t actually a Jew, all of the rest of them are.)

Just because it has the term “poverty law” in the name doesn’t mean they do that. They harass people who make fun of Jews on the internet.

Why don’t you black folk start your own organization?

Cohen and Dees’ departures came after SPLC associate legal director Meredith Horton resigned. Horton did not return CNN’s calls for comment.

“It all started with the resignation of Meredith Horton,” an employee said, referring to the SPLC’s outgoing associate legal director.

Horton was a high-ranking African-American woman in the organization.

She was in fact the only high-ranking African-American in the organization.

She was there to keep the blacks sedated, thinking that the organization has something to do with fighting for black people. And I guess she got fed up with it herself.

You see, the SPLC has to employ all of these blacks to give the appearance that their business has something to do with the blacks. In fact, I am not aware of them ever doing anything that blacks care about.

Blacks didn’t care that some hillbillies were calling themselves the KKK and they certainly don’t care about my website. If an organization really represented what the majority of blacks want, they would be suing the government to get them to give money. They would also probably be suing private companies for not hiring enough blacks. Whatever you think of that agenda, that is the black agenda, and it has nothing to do with what the SPLC does.

There is literally nothing that bothers black people less than white people wanting to be left alone (as long as they give money).

In her resignation letter, obtained by CNN, Horton cited concerns about workplace culture. ” … It should not be a surprise that as a woman of color, the experiences of staff of color and female staff have been particularly important to me,” she wrote.

“… we recognize that there is more work to do in the legal department and across the organization to ensure that SPLC is a place where everyone is heard and respected and where the values we are committed to pursuing externally are also being practiced internally.”

Horton did not return CNN’s calls for comment.

…

Another employee said Dees “didn’t catch up with the times.”

That source said Dees was an amazing salesman, adding that he was also a “scapegoat,” for the company’s problems.

The center has strongly defended its response to recent events.

Who is defending?

Who is even running the organization?

Heidi Beirich?

Mark Potok?

Michael Hayden?

Talk about a fucked up bunch of freaks.

Wowzer.

At time of writing, Cohen and Brownstein are still listed on the staff page of their website. I have no idea who is running the group now.

And the thing about this is: it is going to be very difficult to bring in some Jew from outside to run an organization that is a scam to rip off Jews. You bring in some competent Jew lawyer and he’s going to be like “what the hell are you race traitors doing ripping off all of our fellow tribespeople???”

And that is what they’re doing. A Jewish “non-profit” sitting on half a billion dollars – while actively not doing anything other than running a blog and suing me – is not at all kosher. Because I guarantee you, that half a billion is 99.99999% from Jews who they told Nazis were coming for them.

Most Jews will not rip off other Jews. You see how angry they are that Bibi Netanyahu – literally their King – spent too much on takeout food. Jews are only allowed to rip off goyim.

The SPLC can say “oh but we’re hurting white people” – but they could be running a blog, suing me and telling Twitter and Facebook who to ban with a few hundred thousand dollars. Any Jew who walks in and sees the way they are actively, aggressively soliciting donations from other Jews while sitting on half a bil is going to go nuts.

This CNN piece is basically shilling and doing damage control. A much better article about the situation was published in the New Yorker, written by a former staffer. It was written after Dees was fired and before Cohen, but it’s really great stuff.

He says the thing it is: “a highly profitable scam.”

The SPLC is not coming back from this.

This has been too much of a totally public total collapse.

The media cannot keep citing them as an authoritative source after this debacle.

The best timeline is that they are forced to hand the entire organization over to the blacks and they go use that entire $500,000,000 to sue Silicon Valley for not hiring enough black people to program AI.

SPLC in Full Collapse! Kike Director Richard Cohen Resigns! https://www.anglinarchive.com/2019/03/24/splc-in-full-collapse-kike-director-richard-cohen-resigns/ Sun, 24 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0000 Andrew Anglin
Daily Stormer
March 24, 2019

Last week, the SPLC fired its founder Morris Dees, who was the only white goy who worked there, in the midst of scandals regarding their treatment of black and female employees.

I thought that they were just firing the house goy so they could blame all their problems on him.

But if Cohen himself is resigning, the organization is coming unglued.

LA Times:

The president of the Southern Poverty Law Center, Richard Cohen, announced his resignation Friday, the latest in a series of high-profile departures at the anti-hate organization that have come amid allegations of misconduct and workplace discrimination.

The departure will mark the end of an era at the Montgomery, Ala., nonprofit, whose staff had recently raised questions about whether the organization’s long-standing mission of justice and anti-discrimination — which had yielded hundreds of millions of dollars in donations from the public — had matched its internal treatment of some black and female employees.

“Whatever problems exist at the SPLC happened on my watch, so I take responsibility for them,” Cohen wrote in an email obtained by The Times, while asking the staff to avoid jumping to conclusions before the board completes an internal review of the organization’s work culture.

Cohen’s resignation comes the same day as a resignation by the organization’s legal director, Rhonda Brownstein, who did not give a reason for her departure in a brief email to her colleagues. Brownstein did not respond to requests for comment.

Cohen joined the Southern Poverty Law Center in 1986 and became one of its most prominent figures, helping wage legal and public campaigns against far-right groups, including neo-Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan.

Under Cohen’s watch, the center had also received frequent criticism for its aggressive fundraising tactics and for its depiction of some right-wing figures as extremists. And the organization had been unable to shake long-standing internal concerns over the diversity of its predominantly white staff and white leadership.

Yeah.

(((White))).

At 5:03 p.m. Central time Friday, Cohen sent a message to staff, with the subject line “Stepping Down,” announcing that he, too, would be leaving the organization that he and Dees had turned into a research and fundraising juggernaut.

Cohen told staff that he had asked the center’s board of directors in October to start searching for a new president, citing a need for a transition to a new generation of leadership. But “in light of recent events, I’ve asked the board to immediately launch a search for an interim president in order to give the organization the best chance to heal,” Cohen wrote.

So – this goes way beyond Morris Dees being the kind of pervert who used a dildo on his teenage stepdaughter and forced his wife into a bisexual threesome with another man.

Last week, several employees of the organization had signed a letter alleging sexual and racial discrimination at the organization.

Basically, the thing is probably that the blacks working there weren’t allowed to pursue any of their projects, and were instead just treated like total shit by the Jews running it. Cohen tried to throw Morris Dees under the bus, but the blacks wouldn’t settle for that, so he had to throw himself under the bus.

Here’s the thing: black people don’t care about white nationalists. They are probably not even aware we exist. White nationalists are exclusively a target of the Jews. If we explained our thing to the blacks, they would be like “I feel you, I feel you, you just trying to take care your own.”

What blacks care about is suing the government to get things from them. If the SPLC was run by blacks, they would leave us alone and go after the government, demanding money. Or sue corporations that they think should be hiring more black people, or just giving them money outright.

What the SPLC did was set themselves up as some kind of racial defense organization for blacks and then use that position to attack the enemies of Jews. And apparently, that hasn’t worked out in the long run.

I imagine there are also some pretty serious mismanagement issues on the part of Cohen and Dees. This has never been a very serious organization, and the backlash from simply saying that all Christians and/or Republicans are terrorists in the wake of the Trump election has been problematic.

I suspect they could also have been caught up in some illegal behavior. We might soon learn of some of these people, or the organization itself, being prosecuted for espionage or other such activities.

Feels Good, Man

I’ve had a long history with the SPLC, and am presently getting sued by them for allegedly making fun of people on the internet.

I can’t describe to you how satisfying it is to me that Richard Cohen, the ratfaced kike who launched this suit against me for the purpose of trying to take my organization from me is now forced out of his own organization.

Rot in hell, Jew.

The Daily Stormer lives forever. We’ll be here posting about JEWS while your organization is suing the Google JEWS to replace their entire search engine team with blacks and leaving us the fuck alone.

You fought hard, Cohen.

But I have outlived you, my oldest enemy.

Whatever happens next, the SPLC is no longer going to be able to maintain its status as the premiere “shut it down” group telling corporations what speech they’re allowed to allow.

The ADL still exists, of course, but they’re a much more serious organization, which has in many ways restricted them. The SPLC existed to be the less respectable version of a Jewish activist group that could just go nuts on everyone in ways that didn’t have to make sense to anyone other than the Jews.

But those days are done.

Going forward, it will just be the People vs. the ADL.

In a State of Chaos, Jew SPLC Fires It’s Goy Founder Morris Dees, A Man Famous for Using a Dildo on His Stepdaughter https://www.anglinarchive.com/2019/03/15/in-a-state-of-chaos-jew-splc-fires-its-goy-founder-morris-dees-a-man-famous-for-using-a-dildo-on-his-stepdaughter/ Fri, 15 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0000 Andrew Anglin
Daily Stormer
March 15, 2019

A couple hours ago, someone told me the SPLC fired Morris Dees, the organization’s founder, and said it was because he used a dildo on his stepdaughter. And I was like “well, that was a really long time ago…”

It was in the late 70s. Here’s a pdf file from the court talking about how he snuck into his 16-year-old stepdaughter’s room repeatedly and tried to use a dildo on her. He did a bunch of other really weird shit also.

Anyway, I don’t think they would fire him over that, 30-something years later. They’ve already said they don’t care if someone uses a dildo on their teenage stepdaughter because that doesn’t have anything to do with helping Jews or destroying whites.

I think they’re firing him because they needed to throw someone under the bus for all of these legal problems they’re having, in particular meddling in the election as a 501c3 and getting sued by all of these people. Morris may have been the founder, but he is also the only goy around to throw under the bus.

Or maybe they just all felt uncomfortable having a goy around in such a Jewish organization…?

Apparently, after all of the bad publicity, they’re now going to try to reframe themselves as something other than a complete joke.

RT:

The Southern Poverty Law Center has fired its founder Morris Dees for unspecified reasons, purging all mentions of him from its website. The organization is also seeking external review of its “climate” and business practices.

The Montgomery, Alabama-based organization announced on Thursday that its dismissal of Dees was effective as of March 13.

“As a civil rights organization, the SPLC is committed to ensuring that the conduct of our staff reflects the mission of the organization and the values we hope to instill in the world,” the group’s president Richard Cohen said in a statement. “When one of our own fails to meet those standards, no matter his or her role in the organization, we take it seriously and must take appropriate action.”

What standards, Cohen?

Since when have Jews had standards?

Cohen did not offer any further specifics for the dismissal of Dees, the lawyer who was one of the founders of the SPLC back in 1971. A search for Dees on the SPLC website returned a “page not found” on Thursday.

The SPLC started out as a civil rights nonprofit dedicated to the plight of African-Americans in Alabama, but grew into a fundraising behemoth with over $450 million in net assets by 2017. It is now primarily known as the group behind Hatewatch, a blog listing “hate groups” that is often uncritically embraced by media and social networks.

The practice came under some scrutiny in 2012, after a man attempted to carry out a mass shooting at the Washington, DC offices of Family Research Council, saying he found them on the SPLC list of “anti-gay hate groups.” The SPLC condemned the attack but persisted in calling the FRC a “hate group.”

lol yes.

Even after the black gay terrorist said he tracked them down using the SPLC database, they refused to apologize and kept them in their “hate database” because they say the Bible says homosexuality is wrong.

Last year, the SPLC had to pay over $3 million and apologize to the Quilliam Foundation and its founder Maajid Nawaz, who sued after they were labeled “anti-Muslim extremists” in a SPLC “manual” for journalists.

In a series of articles nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in 1994, the Montgomery Advertiser examined the SPLC and its “multimillionaire” boss. Among the allegations in the series – denied by SPLC – was that black employees felt threatened by Dees and accused him of “being a racist.”

Yeah, he must have been a pretty hardcore racist to create an organization specifically designed to suck money out of the black community.

I wouldn’t ever do that. All I ever wanted black people to do was leave me alone. Morris Dees used their alleged oppression to make half a billion dollars.

God, I’m so sick of these fucking Jews.

But no. I don’t think this is going to restore any credibility. If anything, it just makes them look like they’re in a state of complete chaos to fire their founder even though he’s 82 years old and has virtually no practical role in the organization anyway.

The rumor is that there was ongoing sexual misconduct. Multiple journalists are reporting this.

I can’t imagine the SPLC would care unless it was getting ready to break in the news. So that should be fun, if that’s what’s going on. But again, I think it’s more likely that this is fake news, that Dees is very good at hiding his sex scandals, and that he’s actually just being made the fall guy because the SPLC has been doing all this illegal stuff.

I hope Dees comes out with some shit like “those kikes ran me out of my own racket!”

SPLC’s Morris Dees Says the Confederate Flag is “About Heritage, Not Hate” https://www.anglinarchive.com/2015/07/10/splcs-morris-dees-says-the-confederate-flag-is-about-heritage-not-hate/ Fri, 10 Jul 2015 00:00:00 +0000 James Kirkpatrick

Well, we can call this one a case of Narrative Collapse.

News footage from 1989 has surfaced which shows Morris Dees, the founder of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a civil rights organization that tracks hate groups, acknowledging that the Confederate flag was part of his southern heritage.

“This is my home. I love this area. The Confederate flag that’s flying over that capitol today is just as much a part of my heritage as Dr. [Martin Luther] King’s march down 6th Avenue,” Dees tells an interviewer during the Nov. 5, 1989, dedication ceremony of the Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, Ala.

[Flashback: SPLC Founder Says Confederate Flag Is ‘Part of My Heritage,‘ by Chuck Ross, Daily Caller, July 9, 2015]

The traditional response to those who say the Confederate flag is racist is that it is about “heritage not hate.”

Even after the campaign of the last few weeks, a majority of the American people see the Confederate flag as representing Southern identity, not racism [Poll: Americans say Confederate flag symbol of pride, not racism, by Kelly Cohen, Washington Examiner, July 2, 2015].

Once again the Southern Poverty Law Center has released its annual IRS Form 990 and once again the form shows that the SPLC’s executive suite is as lily-white as when Morris Dees opened for business in 1971.

The SPLC’s 43-year record of no minorities at the top stands unbroken because it stands unchallenged. To date, Watching the Watchdogs seems to have a monopoly on exposing the total lack of diversity at “the nation’s leading civil rights organization.”

It’s a dirty job, as they say…

Richard Cohen — President/CEO — $349,843
Morris Dees — Founder and Chief Trial Counsel — $354,727
Joseph Levin — Director and General Counsel — $189,769
Mary Bauer — Outgoing Legal Director — $190,509
Teenie Hutchinson — Secretary — $168,487
Wendy Via — Development Director — $183,118 (+$16,358)
Mark Potok — Senior Fellow — $163,315
David Utter — Director — Miami –  $162,642

Not shown is Michael Toohey, the SPLC’s Former COO for the second year in a row! His paltry $148,385 is down nearly $86,000 donor-dollars from last year’s $234,309.

At this rate he’ll have to give up not working at the SPLC altogether.

Wendy Via scored the only solid raise last year, though her $16k boost was less than the $19,582 raise she got the year before.

And once again, the SPLC’s most highly educated team member, Dr. Heidi Beirich, failed to make the list of top-paid “key employees” even though she’s taken over Mark Potok’s role as primary propagandist.

Same job, different pay. That’s gotta be galling…

Sorry Dr. B. Better luck next year!

It’s hard to believe that we’ve been pointing out this hypocrisy for five years now and not a single journalist or media outlet has picked up the story. Or maybe not so hard to believe.

And as usual, we expect the same questions we get every year about Julian Bond and the SPLC’s board of directors. In an effort to conserve electrons, we will simply redirect the reader to last year’s post on the Caucasian Crusaders that does a pretty good job of explaining how Morris Dees only hired Mr. Bond as an “honorary president” so he could use Bond’s name on fundraising materials and how the Montgomery Advertiser exposed the SPLC’s rubber-stamp board as far back as 1994.

That post explains it all in text, images and video.

We’ll keep our fingers crossed that we’ll have something new to report next year, that the white millionaire owners of the SPLC will finally begin to practice what they preach, but please, don’t anybody hold their breath.

Southern Poverty Law Center Defends Online ‘Hate Map’ https://www.anglinarchive.com/2013/08/07/southern-poverty-law-center-defends-online-hate-map/ Wed, 07 Aug 2013 00:00:00 +0000 Elizabeth Harrington

deesCo-founder of the Southern Poverty Law Center Morris Dees said his group’s “Hate Map” “doesn’t cause anybody to attack,” despite Floyd Lee Corkins’ admission that he targeted the Family Research Council (FRC) after going to the center’s website.

As Corkins told the FBI after his arrest, he learned of the FRC online, “It was a, uh, Southern Poverty Law, lists, anti-gay groups. I found them online. I did a little bit of research, went to the website, stuff like that.”

Corkins attempted a mass shooting on Aug. 15, 2012, opening fire at the Family Research Council and wounding Security Guard Leo Johnson.

Armed with more than 95 rounds of ammunition and 15 Chick-fil-a sandwiches, Corkins told the FBI that he chose the FRC as his first target after looking at a list of “anti-gay” groups on the SPLC’s website.

The Family Research Council is still listed on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Hate Map” as “anti-gay.”

CNSNews.com questioned Dees about the Hate Map when he was in Washington, D.C., last week, asking whether his group has ever considered removing the FRC since the revelation from Corkins.

“Well, first of all, having a group on our Hate Map doesn’t cause anybody to attack them anymore than they attacked us for one thing or another,” Dees said. “This group that says gay people—statements attributed to their people said that gay people caused the Holocaust. Demonstrably false things they say about gay people.

“It’s not on our Hate Map because they’re against gay people—and many, the Catholic Church is against people who are gay, so as others—it’s because of the demonstrably false things they say about people that are just total lies that demean gay people, they cause people to attack gay people,” he said.

“They claim that somebody attacks them because they say hateful things, think about how many gay people get bashed because these people say that gay men are pedophiles, which is demonstrably false,” Dees said.

In a statement to CNSNews.com, the Catholic League took umbrage with Dees’s remarks.

“Morris Dees is a man in search of people and institutions to hate,” Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, said. “Branding the Family Research Council a hate group is not only irresponsible, it trivializes the status of hate-ridden groups that have claimed real victims.”
