Now, with SPLC in serious legal jeopardy, a new framework is positioned to take its place.

The SPLC  has been indicted by a federal grand jury on 11 felony counts of fraud and money laundering. The organization may not survive. But the vacuum it leaves behind is unlikely to remain empty.

The likely successor is the Dignity Index — a system co-created by Tim Shriver of CASEL and backed by a network that includes Chi Kim, who is connected to CASEL, Pure Edge, and the Ibis Group.

This same social-emotional learning ecosystem that normalized scoring students’ attitudes and beliefs is now moving toward scoring adult speech.

But the new model is sleeker than the one that came before.

There are no public smears, no blotchy red hate maps. Pitchforks are passé. The pitch is that we are a kinder, more sophisticated society now. In practice, the framework scores people’s speech, defines acceptable tone, and rewards alignment while discouraging deviation.

The approach is not without precedent. It mirrors the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) model already embedded in American education.

SPLC’s classroom arm, Teaching Tolerance — now rebranded as Learning for Justice — has shaped K–12 education since 1991. Roughly 450,000 educators use its Social Justice Standards, built around four pillars: identity, diversity, justice, and action.

The Dignity Index extends that conditioning into the adult realm.

Just as SEL scores subjective traits like “social awareness,” the Dignity Index evaluates speech against a rubric of approved norms. AI is poised to scale this dramatically.

SPLC may fall. But the kind of power it pioneered will persist and grow — unless it is named and called out.

A federal grand jury in Montgomery, Alabama, returned an 11-count indictment charging the SPLC with six counts of wire fraud, four counts of bank fraud, and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Prosecutors allege that between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC paid at least $3 million to eight individuals, some of whom were associated with the Ku Klux Klan, the United Klans of America, the National Socialist Party of America, the Aryan Nations-affiliated Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club, and the American Front.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche put the charge in stark terms, saying the SPLC was “manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose by paying sources to stoke racial hatred.”

Bruner, who recently spoke at the White House, says the Biden DOJ killed an earlier SPLC investigation — a point now echoed by federal prosecutors themselves.

“We’d like to know who at the Biden DOJ killed it. We do know, by the way, that the Biden FBI was partnered with the SPLC on their hate maps, which is just crazy. I mean, they targeted Moms for Liberty, the Family Research Council, Libs of TikTok, Defending Freedom. Just kind of normal, conservative groups. I think this is just the tip of the iceberg, and we need to find out more.”

Bruner continued: “You have to use RICO now. It’s hard. They used it to take down the mob, and to say white-collar entities like the Soros network or the Arabella Funding Network are the same as the mob is a tough case to make in court. And yet there’s so much criminality going on. So this SPLC indictment and these charges would seem to be a necessary first step. It gives you the ability to get subpoenas, to kind of shake the trees a little bit, and to keep climbing. That’s what I would do.”

“We’ll see if that’s what Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch does. I do know there are plenty of people in the administration who are concerned about all this money, especially the foreign cash pouring into these networks, like Tides and others. That is a huge scandal. And it needs to be dealt with, whether via Treasury, the FBI, or DOJ. There are several enforcement agencies that can address this.”

Their best outcome is him losing. Their second-best outcome is the ayatollah winning.

Schweizer calls it “impeachment by proxy.”

“They know that politically, the best outcome for them is for Trump to lose. And then the second-best outcome for them is for the ayatollah to win. That’s really what they want. They want to see Trump humbled. This is, effectively, a way of having an impeachment by proxy. This is something they can attack him with and that they can cudgel him with,” Schweizer says.

Schweizer, whose track record on following the money and the motives is long and well-earned, reached for Reagan. The establishment dismissed Reagan, too. The establishment was wrong. Foreign policy results proved it.

“And it reminds me of something that one of the wise old men said about Ronald Reagan in the late 1980s, after he had so many foreign policy successes. This wise old man said, ‘Reagan knows so little, but accomplishes so much.’ Reagan, in other words, disproved and showed the establishment was completely wrong,” Schweizer says.

The fight underneath the fight, Schweizer says, is over America’s role in the world. The old isolationists worried about foreign contamination of America. Today, left-wingers worry about the opposite — that America will contaminate the world.

They see U.S. power itself as the problem.

“Democrats don’t want the United States engaged in the world, but it’s different
than the isolationism of Pat Buchanan or Robert Taft. They did not want the United States involved in the world,” Schweizer adds. “They were isolationists because they were afraid the world was going to contaminate America. What Democrats and some isolationist Republicans are concerned about is not that America is going to be contaminated, but that
we’re going to contaminate the world.”

Trump, Schweizer argues, is dismantling that worldview in real time. Consolidating energy resources and expanding American influence across the developing world.

Eric Eggers, GAI Vice President and co-host of The Drill Down, published an op-ed in the New York Post this week highlighting the obvious flaws in California’s voting procedures. He is also the author of the 2018 book, FRAUD: How the Left Plans to Steal the Next Election.

In a shocking example Eggers cited in the op-ed, a California citizen received six different voter registration cards at her home of two residents. As a lark and to prove a point, successfully registered her dog Maya to vote –– and then submitted ballots on her canine’s behalf.

The real scandal is not that a woman was able to get her dog to vote, however. After she contacted the Orange County Registrar of Voters to inform county officials that her dog had not only been registered to vote, but had received an actual mail-in ballot, she wasn’t met with gratitude, but with five years of silence. Then, she did hear from election officials – and found out she was being charged with a crime.

Bruner, Director of Research at the Government Accountability Institute, calls them the Controligarchs — and he has spent years mapping their influence.

The names are familiar: Bill Gates. Mark Zuckerberg. Jeff Bezos. Klaus Schwab. Alex Soros. What unites them, Bruner contends, is not merely wealth but the systematic deployment of that wealth to bypass the democratic process entirely, operating above elected officials in a shadow architecture of foundations, investments, and coordinated policy pressure.

“We don’t have a problem with people making money, or that America allows people to become billionaires. But when people in America have given these guys so much, and they’ve been allowed to amass such fortunes, then we have a right to know what they’re spending that money on. And everything in Controligarchs showed it’s nothing good,” Bruner says.

Gates, Bruner explains, has moved aggressively into the American food supply. Through strategic investments in Monsanto and patented protein technologies, he has positioned himself as a gatekeeper of the agricultural system — one whose financial interests align neatly with the slow extinction of the family farm.

When a billionaire controls the patents on what grows in the ground, Bruner notes, he controls something more fundamental than policy. He controls survival.

Alex Soros represents a different but equally consequential vector. Heir to his father’s empire, the younger Soros is deploying an estimated $28 billion — channeled through Hong Kong — into extreme left-wing causes across the United States. The geography matters. Hong Kong is not an accident. It is a reminder that the line between billionaire activism and foreign influence can be difficult to locate, and perhaps impossible to enforce.

Then there is China — and here the story shifts from ideological manipulation to something that looks, on close inspection, like a long-game geopolitical operation.

Bruner’s research points to an industrial-scale exploitation of American birthright citizenship by the Chinese Communist Party. The estimates are arresting: approximately 100,000 babies born annually on American soil to Chinese nationals — a practice that has continued at that pace since at least 2013.

The children are born American citizens by constitutional right, then returned to China to be raised, educated and shaped by the CCP. In twenty years, they return — legally American, deeply Chinese in allegiance — to vote, to influence, to embed.

More than 100 birth tourism agencies operate in Southern California alone, Bruner found. This is not a gray market. It is an industry. And it is exploiting a constitutional provision — birthright citizenship — that was never designed for this purpose.

“They’ve turned it into an entire ecosystem that serves to place CCP operatives inside the United States, ‘operatives’ born here as U.S. citizens. And when they reach 18, they can vote. They can donate to political campaigns. They can apply for government jobs. So this is a massive security breach that nobody knows about,” Bruner says.

The Supreme Court is expected to rule on birthright citizenship in June, a decision that could reframe the entire debate. But the political dynamics surrounding reform are revealing in their own right. Bruner describes the CCP birth tourism issue as a 95-5 question — a problem both parties privately acknowledge as real.

And yet Democratic leadership has consistently blocked reform. The reason, he argues, is coldly transactional: migrant voting power is a political asset too valuable to surrender, even when the national security implications are plain.

Bruner’s forthcoming book promises a deeper accounting of how the billionaire class has systematically eroded American sovereignty — not through conspiracy, but through coordination, capital, and the quiet purchase of institutions that most Americans still believe are independent.

The mechanisms are legal. The intentions are debatable. The effect, Bruner argues, is not.
