SPLC expands 'Hate Map' by adding political and parents groups to hate extremists

 

It appears as if hate exploded in the United States last year, but SPLC's "Hate Map" data is inflated because 702 of 1,225 groups described by the map as "hate groups" are actually policy advocacy organizations with no connection to a "hateful" ideology.

 

The Southern Poverty Law Center is reporting a record low number of hate groups this year but is inflating the dots on its infamous "Hate Map" by redefining political policy and parents groups as anti-government organizations worthy of scrutiny.

 

The SPLC recorded 523 hate groups in its 2022 annual report. That is the fewest number of hate groups recorded since the SPLC started publishing its annual Hate Map in 2000. The organization doesn't mention this accomplishment in its annual report and instead focuses on hate they allege is being pushed by right-wing figures.

 

Rather than reflecting what most would find a cause for celebration, the latest Hate Map's headline states: "In 2022, we tracked 1,225 hate and antigovernment groups across the U.S."

 

All previous years' Hate Maps listed only hate groups, and 2022 had the highest number of groups tracked by the controversial "civil rights" organization. On the surface, it would appear as if hate exploded in the United States last year, by including 702 groups deemed "anti-government" into the data pool. The addition of policy groups inflated the totals on the map by 57%.

 

The SPLC acknowledged a difference between "hate groups" and "anti-government" groups: "Hate groups hold beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their immutable characteristics, while antigovernment groups see the federal government as an enemy of the people and promote baseless conspiracy theories." The organization justified the commingling of the two because it claimed "far-right activists have embraced ever more violent rhetoric" and "their words are contributing to an atmosphere that breeds political violence."

 

Geographic errors in the map also abound. Most of the Moms for Liberty county chapters, of which there are 285 in 45 states, are placed in the middle of the states they are based out of, regardless of whether that is their actual location. The SPLC did not respond to requests for comment, or offer an explanation for their decision on where to locate the alleged hate groups.

Millions of US tax dollars STILL being sent to 27 Chinese labs: Research facilities benefitted from $15m to perform dangerous and cruel animal experiments - despite fears Covid leaked from Wuhan

 

Experiments include gathering dangerous avian flus from China's wet markets

In 2020, the NIH spent an estimated $140 million on foreign animal experiments

 

Millions of US taxpayer dollars are being sent to shady laboratories in China to fund cruel and dangerous experiments on animals.

 

Records show more than $15 million in government grants has funded animal experiments in foreign labs from 2013 to this year, despite concerns that dubious Chinese research may have started the Covid-19 pandemic.

 

Some of the US-sponsored research involved gathering dangerous avian flu viruses from China's wet markets and infecting chickens, ducks, and guinea pigs to 'supercharge' the viruses and make them more transmissible.

 

While not technically illegal, research in China is not subjected to the same stringent ethical and safety protocols in the US.

 

A previous watchdog oversight investigation found grant money sent to Chinese labs is often subject to little or no oversight.
