Wow: It seems the Southern Poverty Law Center — a direct-mail fund-raising mill posing as a civil rights group — paid millions to racist “extremists” to spread hate that the SPLC then cited as it called for donations.

哇：南方贫困法律中心（SPLC）——一个伪装成民权组织的直接邮寄筹款机构——似乎向种族主义“极端分子”支付了数百万美元，让他们散布仇恨言论，而 SPLC 随后又引用这些仇恨言论来呼吁捐款。

The Justice Department indicted the SPLC on wire-fraud charges Tuesday, saying the outfit has been “manufacturing racism to justify its existence” and even paying a “field source” to help organize the infamous 2017 Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally — the event that became ground zero for Democratic messaging about President Donald Trump’s alleged praise for Nazis as “fine people.”

周二，司法部以电信欺诈罪起诉南方​​贫困法律中心（SPLC）， 称该组织“制造种族主义以证明其存在的合理性”，甚至向一名“线人”支付费用，帮助组织了臭名昭著的 2017 年夏洛茨维尔“团结右翼”集会——该集会成为民主党就唐纳德·特朗普总统涉嫌称赞纳粹分子为“好人”的言论进行宣传的中心。

The Southern Poverty Law Center allegedly funded extremist groups to spread hate — including a field source at the infamous “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va. in 2017.据称，南方贫困法律中心资助极端主义团体散播仇恨——其中包括 2017 年在弗吉尼亚州夏洛茨维尔臭名昭著的“团结右翼”集会上的一名线人。

It allegedly paid this “field source” more than a quarter-million dollars over eight years to post racist memes and gin up support for extremist beliefs.

据称，该公司在八年间向这位“线人”支付了超过25万美元，让他发布种族主义表情包，煽动人们对极端主义信仰的支持。

Justice also says a member of the neo-Nazi National Alliance got over a million bucks over nine years to feed the SPLC information about its membership and activities, which the nonprofit then used as fodder for its ongoing publicity campaign about the dangers of the National Alliance.

司法部还表示，新纳粹组织“国家联盟”的一名成员在九年间获得了超过一百万美元，向南方贫困法律中心提供有关该组织成员和活动的信息，该非营利组织随后利用这些信息开展持续的宣传活动，揭露“国家联盟”的危险性。

Officials of the SPLC contend that their strategy was essential to gathering intelligence about hate groups, but the group isn’t a law-enforcement agency out to build a court case.

南方贫困法律中心 (SPLC) 的官员辩称，他们的策略对于收集有关仇恨团体的情报至关重要，但该组织并非旨在建立法庭案件的执法机构。

It looks more like a ratcatcher breeding rats to get more clients.

这看起来更像是捕鼠人为了招揽更多客户而故意养殖老鼠。

What a “business model”: subsidizing racist organizations’ activities in order to fund-raise off the threat of growing extremism.

真是奇葩的“商业模式”：通过资助种族主义组织的活动，利用日益增长的极端主义威胁来筹集资金。

The SPLC made major bank in these years: Its $500 million in assets as of 2017 grew to $750 million by 2023 as it raised close to $200 million a year.

南方贫困法律中心 (SPLC) 在这些年里赚得盆满钵满 ：截至 2017 年，其资产为 5 亿美元，到 2023 年增长至 7.5 亿美元，每年筹集资金近 2 亿美元。

All while the highest levels of the federal government under Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden treated the outfit as a trustworthy expert, invited to counsel law enforcement on extremist threats, even as it also ignored or downplayed leftist and Islamist threats.

与此同时，在巴拉克·奥巴马和乔·拜登总统的领导下，联邦政府最高层将该组织视为值得信赖的专家 ，并邀请其就极端主义威胁向执法部门提供咨询，尽管该组织也忽视或淡化了左翼和伊斯兰主义威胁。

Most media, too, treated it as a legitimate source of trustworthy information, even after its spurious 2012 listing of the Family Research Council may have inspired an attempted mass shooting at the group’s headquarters.

即使在 2012 年，该媒体错误地将家庭研究委员会列入名单，这可能引发了在该组织总部发生的未遂大规模枪击事件，大多数媒体仍然将其视为合法的可靠信息来源。

The SPLC has been blatantly exploiting the legacy of the civil-rights movement for decades, but the larger left didn’t care about its leaders’ profiteering and abuses of the staff or its other scandals.

南方贫困法律中心几十年来一直在公然利用民权运动的遗产 ，但更大的左翼群体并不关心其领导人的牟利行为、 对员工的虐待以及其他丑闻。

As long as it kept offering up grist for progressives’ outrage, they winked at the grift: For shame.

只要它能继续为进步人士提供愤怒的素材，他们就会对这种骗局睁一只眼闭一只眼：真可耻。
