ALIPAC is issuing a national advisory to alllocal, state, and Federal law enforcement agencies and officers, alongwith all DHS Fusion Centers, a warning against any reliance upon faultyand politicized research issued by the Southern Poverty Law Center(SPLC) and Anti Defamation League (ADL).
A national scandalemerged in Missouri, after their MIAC Fusion Center issued an eightpage document which made many false claims. The documents attempted topoliticize police and cast suspicion on millions of Americans. The’Missouri Documents’, as they came to be called, listed over 32characteristics police should watch for as signs or links to domesticterrorists, which could threaten police officers, court officials, andinfrastructure targets. Police were instructed to look for Americans who were concerned aboutunemployment, taxes, illegal immigration, gangs, border security,abortion, high costs of living, gun restrictions, FEMA, the IRS, TheFederal Reserve, and the North American Union/SPP/North AmericanCommunity. The ‘Missouri Documents’ also said potential domesticterrorists might like gun shows, short wave radios, combat movies,movies with white male heroes, Tom Clancey Novels, and PresidentialCandidates Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and Chuck Baldwin!
The SouthernPoverty Law Center was cited as a research source for the ‘MissouriDocuments’. Furthermore, the attempt of these documents to castsuspicion of violent and life threatening behavior on millions ofAmericans who are concerned about these issues is consistent with theregularly released political materials of both the SPLC and ADL.

“Whenmany of us read these Missouri Documents we felt that the falseconnections, pseudo research, and political attacks found in thesedocuments could have been penned by the SPLC and ADL,” said WilliamGheen of ALIPAC. “We were shocked to see credible law enforcementagencies disseminating the same kind of over the top politicalpropaganda distributed by these groups.”
Colonel James F.Keathley, Superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol issued aletter of response to ALIPAC and other sources on March 25-26, whichstates that the Missouri militia documents are being withdrawn, moreoversight will be applied to future releases, the Missouri Documents donot meet the high quality standards expected from the MIAC, and that”certain subsets of Missourians will not be singled out inappropriatelyin these reports for particular associations”.
FOX RadioNetwork is reporting that Missouri Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder(R-MO) has asked that Missouri Public Safety Director John Britt beplaced on administrative leave. The report also says Kinder has issueda public apology to Presidential candidates Ron Paul, Bob Barr, andChuck Baldwin.
ALIPAC would like to advise all media sources,law enforcement officers and agencies, that the ADL and SPLC arepolitical organizations, with stated political goals and agendas whichare contrary to the candidates, political parties, and millions ofAmericans besmirched by the MIAC documents.
While both the ADLand SPLC actively market themselves and seek roles as advisers to lawenforcement and the media, both groups regularly engage in politicaltactics like those observed in the now withdrawn Missouri Documents.Materials from one or both organizations contributed to this scandal.
“Inthe past, these groups have served a helpful role in America byproviding information about racist and potentially violent groups likethe KKK and Neo Nazis,” said William Gheen.* “Unfortunately, theirmission has drifted into political efforts to paint almost any Americanor group who opposes their broader political agendas as beingassociated with racist or potentially violent groups just like what wesaw in these scandalous MIAC documents in Missouri.”
ALIPAChopes that future scandals can be avoided by issuing this advisory andpromoting awareness of the faulty information distributed to police andmedia in America by the Anti Defamation League and Southern Poverty LawCenter to prevent future scandals of this nature.
*We flatly disagree with Mr. Gheen. It is EAU’s contention that both of these groups, the SPLC and the ADL merely exploited a handful of convenient criminal targets in order to expand their bigotry and deliberately disparage, defame and frighten people of European descent.
Their bigoted yet successful political agendas have brought them to the financially lucrative point they are at right now.
Moreover, we further contend that local, state, and national law enforcement does not, and has not ever, required the services of these groups; accomodating them only for the sake of political expediency while remaining unaware of their true political and finanacial goals.
