Chuck Baldwin April 21, 2010 In a report on its web site dated April 2010, entitled “Meet The Patriots,” the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) profiled “36 individuals at the heart of the resurgent [patriot] movement.” (In reading the list, I counted only 35 “patriots” and 5 “enablers” for a total of 40. I’m not really sure how the SPLC came up with “36.” Perhaps their ability to count is commensurate with their ability to appreciate patriotism and liberty.) The SPLC (founded by Morris Dees) sees itself as America’s guardian against “right wing militias” and loves to label conservatives and libertarians that it doesn’t like as “extremists.” The SPLC is one of the most ultra-liberal organizations in the country and should be dismissed as a group of paranoid leftists, not worthy of thought or mention. jihad jamie Millions and millions of hard-working, God-fearing, liberty-loving Americans are not going to sit back and let Morris Dees and his cabal of Big Government elitists destroy the principles of freedom in our land. The sad truth is, however, our federal government has chosen to exalt the SPLC to the position of being its “go to” source for information regarding “potential domestic terrorists” and similar characterizations. As a result, the information and reports disseminated by SPLC wind up in police reports and bulletins all over the United States. As an example, the SPLC had its fingerprints all over the infamous MIAC report. One could even question whether the SPLC is merely a front organization for Big Brother. Therefore, it is highly likely that the report negatively profiling 40 American patriots will find its way into Department of Homeland Security (DHS) fusion centers and be distributed to police agencies all across the country. So, should the 40 people who find themselves targeted by SPLC expect some kind of government/police attention? Are we really that close to Nazi-style persecution in America? If the SPLC has its way, the answer seems to be a definite yes. I remind readers that in the book, Nazi Justiz: Law of the Holocaust (page 3), there were five steps to Hitler’s plans for the destruction of European Jews. Step 1: Identification/registration of the targeted group as a public menace. Step 2: Ostracism of the targeted persons. Step 3: property confiscation. Step 4: Concentration of members into geographical locations. Step 5: Annihilation. In this latest report, SPLC seems quite willing to accomplish steps 1 and 2. Here are the 40 names that are targeted in the SPLC report (and guess who is listed at the very top? Yours truly): 1. Chuck Baldwin, Pastor, Radio Broadcaster, Syndicated Columnist, 2008 Constitution Party Presidential nominee. 2. Joe Banister, former IRS special agent, tax protester. 3. Martin “Red” Beckman, tax protester 4. Catherine Bleish, head of the Liberty Restoration Project. 5. Chris Broughton, Second Amendment advocate, member of “We The People” group. 6. Bob Campbell, head of American Grand Jury. 7. Robert Crooks, Army veteran, retired commercial fisherman, anti-illegal immigration proponent. 8. Joseph Farah, CEO of World Net Daily 9. Gary Franchi, producer of “Camp FEMA: American Lockdown,” national director of RestoreTheRepublic.com. 10. Al Garza, head of the Patriot’s Coalition, an anti-illegal immigration group. 11. Ted Gunderson, retired FBI agent. 12. John Hassey, “The public face of Alabama’s militia movement in the late 1990s,” says SPLC. 13. Alex Jones, Radio Talk Show host. 14. Devvy Kidd, “prolific columnist, blogger, and public speaker.” 15. Larry Kilgore, telecommunications consultant, former US Senate candidate from Texas, pro-secession advocate. 16. Cliff Kincaid, syndicated columnist and author, editor of AIM Report (Accuracy in Media’s publication), founder and president of America’s Survival, Inc., a UN watchdog group. 17. Mark Koernke, associated with the now-defunct Michigan Militia. 18. Richard Mack, former Graham County, Arizona, Sheriff, author, and public speaker. 19. Jack McLamb, former Phoenix, Arizona, police officer, author, and public speaker. 20. John McManus, former member of the US Marine Corps, president of the John Birch Society. 21. Daniel New, father of Michael New (the Army medic who refused to wear a UN uniform), author, public speaker. 22. Norm Olson, founder of the now-defunct Michigan Militia. 23. Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America. 24. Stewart Rhodes, Army veteran and Yale Law School graduate, founder of Oath Keepers. 25. Jon Roland, computer specialist, founder of the Constitution Society. 26. Luke Rudkowski, founder We Are Change. 27. Robert “Bob” Schultz, founder of We The People. 28. Joel Skousen, editor, World Affairs Brief. 29. Jim Stachowiak, Radio Talk Show host, “Longtime militia organizer,” claims SPLC. 30. John Stadtmiller, founder, Republic Broadcasting Network. 31. Orly Taitz, California attorney, a leader in the push to make President Obama disclose his US birth certificate. 32. Amanda Teegarden, executive director of Oklahomans for Sovereignty and Free Enterprise. 33. Mike Vanderboegh, anti-Obama health care activist. 34. Paul Venable, former candidate for the Idaho House of Representatives. 35. Edwin Vieira, Jr., attorney, author, proponent of constitutional State militias, lecturer. 36. Michele Bachmann, US Representative from Minnesota. 37. Glenn Beck, Fox News Channel TV host. 38. Paul Broun, medical doctor, US Representative from Georgia. 39. Andrew Napolitano, attorney, former State judge in New Jersey, Fox News Channel legal analyist, lecturer. 40. Ron Paul, former member of the US Air Force, medical doctor, US Representative from Texas, 2008 Republican candidate for President. See the SPLC report here. * A d v e r t i s e m e n t * SAVE $60 on a 24-Day Supply of Food The SPLC, no doubt, sees each person on the above list as being a leader of the “radical right,” a “conspiracist,” and “antigovernment.” But understand, the SPLC makes its living off of big-government, leftist ideology. To say it is a shill for Big Government Liberalism is an understatement. The SPLC is so radical it makes the ACLU look conservative! Again, this SPLC report would not even merit a mention (much less an entire column) except for the fact that the SPLC has become a source of information fuelling anti-freedom hysteria for countless bureaucrats at the DHS. Add this to the previously exposed MIAC and DHS reports, and the Army major’s report blaming “millennialist” Christians for much of the ills of the world, and a disturbing trend is quickly developing: so-called right-wing ANYTHING is being targeted and demonized as a “public menace.” But the lists that you and I are not seeing are even more disturbing. Joel Skousen quotes (Radar Magazine’s) Christopher Ketcham’s The Last Roundup as asking if the federal government is “compiling a secret enemies list of citizens who could face detention?” He goes on to say, “A number of former government employees and intelligence sources with independent knowledge of domestic surveillance operations claim the program that caused the flap between [former assistant attorney general under John Ashcroft, James] Comey and the White House was related to a database of Americans who might be considered potential threats in the event of a national emergency. Sources familiar with the program say that the government’s data gathering has been overzealous and probably conducted in violation of federal law and the protection from unreasonable search and seizure guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment. “A veteran CIA intelligence analyst who maintains active high-level clearances and serves as an advisor to the Department of Defense in the field of emerging technology tells Radar that during the 2004 hospital room drama [between former Chief of Staff Andrew Card and Attorney General Ashcroft, in an attempt by Card to coerce a very ill Ashcroft to authorize President Bush's secretive domestic spying programs as his assistant--and acting--attorney general had refused to do so], James Comey expressed concern over how this secret database was being used ‘to accumulate otherwise private data on non-targeted U.S. citizens for use at a future time.’” The report further states, “According to a senior government official who served with high-level security clearances in five administrations, ‘There exists a database of Americans, who, often for the slightest and most trivial reason, are considered unfriendly, and who, in a time of panic, might be incarcerated. The database can identify and locate perceived “enemies of the state” almost instantaneously.’” At this point, Skousen noted, “And that is precisely why the census bureau took a GPS coordinate on every front door in America, secretly linking this to dissidents and their known addresses.” This database of Americans who are perceived to be potential “enemies of the state” goes by the code name “Main Core.” And according to the report, “One knowledgeable source claims that 8 million Americans are now listed in Main Core as potentially suspect. In the event of a national emergency, these people could be subject to everything from heightened surveillance and tracking to direct questioning and possibly even detention. “Officials at the Department of Homeland Security begin actively scrutinizing people who–for a tremendously broad set of reasons–have been flagged in Main Core as potential domestic threats [sound familiar?]. Some of these individuals might receive a letter or a phone call, others a request to register with local authorities. Still others might hear a knock on the door and find police or armed soldiers outside. In some instances, the authorities might just ask a few questions. Other suspects might be arrested and escorted to federal holding facilities, where they could be detained without counsel until the state of emergency is no longer in effect.” The report also noted that former Assistant Attorney General James Comey “had concluded that the use of that ‘Main Core’ database compromised the legality of the overall NSA domestic surveillance project. ‘If Main Core does exist,’ says Philip Giraldi, a former CIA counterterrorism officer and an outspoken critic of the agency, ‘the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is its likely home. If a master list is being compiled, it would have to be in a place where there are no legal issues–the CIA and FBI would be restricted by oversight and accountability laws–so I suspect it is at DHS, which as far as I know operates with no such restraints.’ Giraldi notes that DHS already maintains a central list of suspected terrorists and has been freely adding people who pose no reasonable threat to domestic security.” So, is there a secret list of 8 million “unfriendly” Americans kept by DHS (if there is, dear reader, you are probably on it!)? Does anyone reading this column doubt that our federal government is more than willing and capable of doing such a thing? All of us are quite familiar with the government’s “no fly” or “flagged” airline passenger list. I can personally attest to the authenticity of this list, as airport officials in San Antonio, Texas, told me that I’m on it. I also made it to the “list of three” that were named in the MIAC report (the other two were Ron Paul and Bob Barr). And now I am on the SPLC list of “patriots” (not a compliment in the SPLC lexicon). Wow! I never realize how popular I was! (With the exception of Ron Paul, I’m probably on more lists than anyone in America.) Who would ever have thought that the day would come in America when to speak up for freedom, constitutional government, and the principles expressed by our Founding Fathers would land one on a government watch list? Well, that day is here, my friend! No doubt, the major media and federal government–in order to further ostracize patriotic, God-fearing Americans–will use the SPLC patriot hit list as a vehicle to carry our country further down the road of oppression. But what the radical left fearmongers at the Southern Poverty Law Center fail to realize is that the more they try to marginalize and ostracize American patriots such as you and me, the more they isolate themselves from America’s future, because millions and millions of hard-working, God-fearing, liberty-loving Americans are not going to sit back and let Morris Dees and his cabal of Big Government elitists destroy the principles of freedom in our land. So, people such as Morris Dees can put us on as many lists as they like; we will never let liberty die! And the more they try to demonize us, the more people will want to join with us. You see, freedom burns deep and strong in the hearts of real Americans. And that’s something the SPLC can’t extinguish–no matter how many lists it makes!

If this is the enemies enemy list, I would surmise it may be time to start our own country.
1st page of article from the SPLC website. "the man who puts all the guns and all the decision-making power into the hands of the central government and then says, “Limit yourself”; it is he who is truly the impractical utopian." Murray Rothbard
Seeing some of those names listed made me laugh out loud! Perhaps they want to give their stooges a credibility boost? -------------------------------------------------------- Pages 2,3,and 4 - so that you know Jones didn't just make it up ! "the man who puts all the guns and all the decision-making power into the hands of the central government and then says, “Limit yourself”; it is he who is truly the impractical utopian." Murray Rothbard
Actually I have to admit I found the whole thing more amusing than anything else. There are of course the usual cover inclusions - in order to boost their credibility - such as Glenn, Israel First, Dreck. Most though, and I am not familiar with all of them, actually do qualify as Patriotic in the best sense of the word - as someone who loves their country first and tolerates the corrupt government only when they are right. I'm sure that Thomas Jefferson would approve, and were he alive today would feature prominently in the SPLC's hit list of Americans who support liberty and justice for ALL. A few Thomas Jefferson Quotes so that the SPLC can consider his nomination perhaps for a Posthumous listing among their list of Americans reviled for actually defending American Values and not Neo-Marxist Slave State values. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I call bullshit. There's no such thing as "registering with local authorities". I feel quite registered enough with my Birth Certificate, SS#, Driver License#, Voter Registration card, Property Tax ID# - isn't that plenty?
Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson I call bullshit. There's no such thing as "registering with local authorities". Intentional hyperbole - no order from Reichsfuhrer Napolitano - YET. Gunderson? Olson? There people were non players 20 years ago. This swill is a fund raising tool, nothing more.
The article quotes that people will be asked to show up at a local police station to "register" (whatever that means) for unpopular political views. No such thing exists. O_I: yes, EXTREME hyperbole, to the point that I called BS. What happened to Bro Nathanial Kapner, Jeff Rense, and Texe Marrs?
Victim of Smear Campaign Gets Even With Morris Dees rss202 By James P. Tucker Jr. Morris Dees, who makes a lucrative career out of smearing many decent U.S. organizations, was visibly shaken at what he expected to be a “sweetheart” event when a pro-Southern group on his hit list challenged him on his lurid past, The Times Examiner of Greenville, S.C., reports. Dees spoke at the University of South Carolina’s “Carolina Productions Lecture Series,” a student-run campus organization, on Feb. 27. An estimated 300 people, including more than 30 law enforcement personnel, attended. Some professors ordered students to attend; some gave extra credit for attending. Considering how embarrassing it proved for Dees, his faculty cheerleaders probably regret such pressure. Dees labeled the League of the South as “racist” and “terrorist” in publications put out by his Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and public statements. But the League is “racially neutral with members of different races,” said Lexington attorney Larry Salley, a member of the board. H.K. Edgetton of Black Mountain, a black man noted for supporting southern heritage, called Dees a “poverty pimp” during the question-and-answer period. But it was Salley who had the most fun with Dees. “Salley prepared and passed out a well-documented brochure that appeared to be the official program, featuring Dees’s photograph and the statement ‘With Justice for All’ on the cover,” The Times Examiner reported. Inside, after the anticipated Dees-friendly words, the brochure transitioned into the harsh facts with footnotes citing the source of the material. Dees disciples, in blissful ignorance, helped hand out the brochures. One of the 14 documented statements is from Harper’s magazine: “The cover story of Harper’s magazine’s November 2000 issue exposed the SPLC’s alarmist fund-raising tactics with which it raises large sums that are not used to help those it purports to serve. The Southern Center for Human Rights’ Stephen Bright charged that [Dees] is a fraud who has milked a lot of very wonderful, well-intentioned people. If it’s got headlines, Morris is there.” Quoting from the Alabama Court of Civil Appeals, CIV2114 (1979), the brochure says: “Of all the damning indictments against Morris Dees, the worst comes from his closest connection. He was sued by his ex-wife, Maureene Bass Dees, who alleged that he had committed incest with his stepdaughter and future daughter-in-law.” “When Dees saw the program he was visibly shaken,” the paper quotes Salley. “I stood up and asked him why 55 percent of the SPLC’s income went into his pocket, and he tried to shout me down. Then other members of our group tried to ask him similar questions, and they shut down the question-and-answer period.” Carolina Productions “is taxpayer funded and in the past they have had groups such as transvestite exotic dancers,” Salley said. The following night Dees spoke at Western Carolina University where about 200 attendees received the same brochure. Dees refused to comment on the well-deserved roasting he took.
Every police department in the country should receive several copies of this. Enough of them to ensure that they circulate. IN THE ALABAMA COURT OF CIVIL APPEALS MAUREENE BASS DEES ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- ON APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF --------------------------------------------------------------------- OF COUNSEL: ORAL ARGUMENT REQUESTED TABLE OF CONTENTS STATEMENT OF THE CASE ........................................ 4 . . . . . . G. Morris' Step-Daughter. Holly Buck, Maureene's daughter by a previous marriage, is eighteen years old (R. 728). She was seven years old when her mother and Morris married, and she has lived with them in the house at Mathews from then until the separation (R. 728). Holly testified that, in the summer of 1977, Morris attempted to molest her in the following incident (R. 729): One night Maureene and Morris were sitting drinking wine and discussing a case Morris was trying. She was with them. Around eleven or twelve o'clock Maureene went to bed and Holly stayed up with Morris discussing the case. Morris kept offering Holly wine, some of which she accepted. At Morris' suggestion, they went outside to the pool, and he suggested that they go for a swim, but Holly was tired and declined (R. 731). She went to her room and then went into the bathroom. Looking out the window, she saw Morris in the bushes beside the bathroom window looking in (R. 731). She said "Morris, is that you", but he said nothing and ran away (R. 732). Two months later, she was asleep one night and Morris entered her room from Ellie's room, through the bathroom. He was in his underwear and he sat on the bed where Holly was lying on her stomach facing away from the door. He touched her on the back and woke her up. He told her that he had brough her a present, and he presented her with a vibrator. He plugged it in and said he had brought it to her. He proceeded to rub it on her back and said, "Let me show you how to use it" (R. 733). She said that's not necessary, but he started to place it between her legs when she raised he voice and said no loudly. He then took the vibrator and left (R. 734). All he had on was a pair of bikini underwear shorts (R. 734). About two hours later, she had fallen back asleep and he came back in (R. 735). He brought the vibrator with him, plugged it in and said again, "Let me show you how to use it." He tried to show her again by putting it between her legs, but she raised her voice again and he stopped. He took it and left (R. 635). She did not tell her mother about this incident until the separation when they moved out of the Mathews house in the spring of 1979 (R. 736). H. Morris' Future Daughter-in-law. Karen Sherman Dees is Morris' daughter-in-law, who is married to Morris' son Scooter (Morris, III) (R. 345). Before Karen and Scooter were married, when they were eighteen or nineteen, which was three or four years ago, an incident occurred on Mother's Day at the family home in Mathews (R. 345). The Dees had Karen and Scooter to dinner at the house, and they cooked out (R. 346). While Scooter and Maureene were cleaning up and washing dishes, Karen and Morris went out to go swimming (R. 345). Five or ten minutes later, Maureene and Scooter started down the path toward the pool, with Maureene in front. As she approached the gate, she could see Morris and Karen standing with their arms around each other with no clothes on, and Morris had an erection. Maureene immediately turned and told Scooter that she did not want to go swimming and the two of them headed back to the house without Scooter having seen anything (R. 347). Later, Karen and Morris returned from the pool, fully dressed, and the group stayed in the den for a little while (R. 349). Morris got up and went to bed, and Maureene joined him a few minutes later. While lying in the bed, Maureene looked up and saw that Karen had entered the room (R. 349). She didn't have any clothes on but had a towel or sheet wrapped around her (R. 350). She came over and got in the bed on Morris' side (R. 350). Nothing happened, but she remained there for about ten minutes, and eventually got up and left (R.350-351). Morris told Maureene that he just couldn't understand why she came in the room (R. 351). In 1974 and 1976, after Maureene had become aware of some of Morris' infidelities, she had two brief sexual liasons; one with Charles Morgan, with whom she was co-starring in a Little Theatre production, and the other with Steve Denton, who was visiting in Montgomery for a tennis tournament.
Patriot hit list....... "Patriot" ???? How about pointless, self-absorbed, attention-seeking, D-bag, hit list? yeah, that's more precise.
Morris Dees' deviant lifestyle really wouldn't matter at all if he weren't ruining other people's lives, but he is. 2ndly, things are often stated during divorces that turns out to be false. "the man who puts all the guns and all the decision-making power into the hands of the central government and then says, “Limit yourself”; it is he who is truly the impractical utopian." Murray Rothbard
Someday, God willing, I will make that list. I have been hard at this Project for almost five years, it appears I need to step it up a notch if I want to make the cut next year. Please, folks, help the One Dollar DVD Project reach its potential.
~~~~~~~ The OneDollarDVDProject needs patriot activists My best friend moved to Montana earlier this year. He now handles all of Chuck Baldwin's email.
I think they ought to complain. They've been slighted. Truthfully they probably did not want to give them any publicity since they are very well reasoned in what they say and put out. That must be an interesting read. True enough, but I choose to happily believe them all in spotty-douche-bag's Dee's case. Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson You're such a kidder.
"the man who puts all the guns and all the decision-making power into the hands of the central government and then says, “Limit yourself”; it is he who is truly the impractical utopian." Murray Rothbard
good catch. I noticed that everyone on this list is kosher. they dont want to give prominence to those who expose the ziosThere is 1 list i saw though which mentions fetzer, kevin barret, prothink, etc. It was about "antisemitic 911 theories"
"Even to the death fight for truth, and the LORD your God will battle for you". Sirach 4:28
He says people are moving there in droves.
I think they ought to complain. They've been slighted. And, what about - itistoolate ????? "the man who puts all the guns and all the decision-making power into the hands of the central government and then says, “Limit yourself”; it is he who is truly the impractical utopian." Murray Rothbard
Why couldn't they move to a more tropical climate? Then I might be interested. Anybody know where in Baja that Ventura goes?
OH I hear that!!!!! Sometimes the ship tacks right, sometimes it tacks left but it is always sailing in the same direction. Voting lesser of two evils is asking for the ship to tack again. It doesn't change the direction. - farmfriend

Somebody ought to tell the truth about the Bible. The preachers dare not, because they would be driven from their pulpits. Professors in colleges dare not, because they would lose their salaries. Politicians dare not. They would be defeated. Editors dare not. They would lose subscribers. Merchants dare not, because they might lose customers. Men of fashion dare not, fearing that they would lose caste. Even clerks dare not, because they might be discharged. And so I thought I would do it myself... Robert Ingersoll

"It is not only vain, but wicked in a legislator to frame laws in opposition to the laws of nature, and to arm them with the terrors of death. This is truly creating crimes in order to punish them." --Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Crimes Bill, 1779.
"It is the old practice of despots to use a part of the people to keep the rest in order; and those who have once got an ascendency and possessed themselves of all the resources of the nation, their revenues and offices, have immense means for retaining their advantages." --Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1798.
"[If] it [were] assumed that the general government has a right to exercise all powers which may be for the 'general welfare,' that [would include] all the legitimate powers of government, since no government has a legitimate right to do what is not for the welfare of the governed." --Thomas Jefferson to George Washington, 1792.
"I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground: That "all powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people." [X Amendment] To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specifically drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition." --Thomas Jefferson: National Bank Opinion, 1791.
So, people such as Morris Dees can put us on as many lists as they like; we will never let liberty die! And the more they try to demonize us, the more people will want to join with us. You see, freedom burns deep and strong in the hearts of real Americans. And that’s something the SPLC can’t extinguish–no matter how many lists it makes!
