The article reporting Dees\u2019 removal speculates that he was fired for sexual harassment.\u00a0 More likely he was fired for having to pay out $60 million of the SPLC\u2019s $500,000,000 endowment to settle defamation lawsuits. \u00a0\u00a0<a style=\"color: #ccffff;\"

style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Ask yourself how is it that an organization committed to smearing people has an endowment of a half billion dollars and not the Institute for Political Economy that focuses on providing truthful information that is contrary to official explanations.\u00a0 Clearly, there is far more money available for \u201chit man\u201d organizations dedicated to destroying truth tellers than there is for the targets of such organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">If truth tellers criticize Israel\u2019s treatment of the Palestinians, the truth tellers are branded \u201canti-Semites.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">If truth tellers question official government explanations such as 9\/11, they are branded \u201cconspiracy theorists.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">If truth tellers correct the official lies that portray Russia as a dire threat to the United States and Russia\u2019s President Putin as the \u201cNew Hitler,\u201d they are branded \u201cRussian agents,\u201d and \u201cPutin dupes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">$500,000,000 is a huge endowment for a reputation-smearing organization operating in Montgomery, Alabama.\u00a0 Where did that money come from?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Why, in contrast, are organizations struggling to present facts and rational analysis operating on shoe strings?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The philanthropic foundations, which once supported information independent of government and private agendas, have been taken into the propaganda Matrix that has blinded Americans to the demise of their liberties.\u00a0 Every day another piece of America withers away.\u00a0 Soon there will be nothing left.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Readers need to understand that there is an infinite number of people worldwide who are devoid of all morality and all integrity.\u00a0 Their only concern is money, and they will do anything to get it.\u00a0 Many are paid to smear truth tellers on Internet sites that have comment sections and on Facebook and other social media.\u00a0 Entire websites, such as ProporNot, have been created in order to discredit truth tellers. \u00a0Government agencies and special interests employ agents to spread propaganda via social media in order to create public support for overthrowing targeted governments such as Venezuela, Cuba, Libya, Iraq, Syria, Iran.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">It is very expensive for a person to exercise the right of free speech for the purpose of telling the truth.\u00a0 But if you attack truth, you get a half billion dollar endowment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">In the United States the only hope for truth lies in the pocket book of ordinary people.\u00a0 If they do not support the alternative media websites that are dedicated to truth, truth will wither away with the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><strong>Support IPE:\u00a0 <\/strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff;\"
