SPLC Indictment Exposes the FBI Shadow Intelligence Pipeline 05/04/2026

SPLC Indictment Exposes the FBI Shadow Intelligence Pipeline The SPLC indictment raises a much bigger question than nonprofit corruption: Did the FBI and federal bureaucracy use ideological organizations to shape domestic terrorism threat assessments? In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down how the Southern Poverty Law Center became a case study in state power laundering, where partisan activist labels were pushed into FBI work products, training, and the broader domestic terror framework. This episode goes beyond the outrage to expose how the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism, the Strategic Implementation Plan, and Action 1.1.1c created a backdoor around the Constitution. What You’ll Learn: The Shadow Network: How the SPLC indictment connects to the FBI, informants, shell companies, and domestic terrorism analysis. The Case Study: Why the anti-Catholic memo revealed a much deeper pipeline between ideological nonprofits and federal agencies. State Power Laundering: How “non-governmental experts” help launder partisan narratives into official federal threat assessments. Vague Labels: Why terms like anti-government, anti-authority, extremism, hate, and misinformation can be used to target ordinary Americans. The Remedy: What Congress must do to dismantle the mechanism and stop the bureaucracy from using third parties to bypass the Fourth Amendment. This is not just about the SPLC. The SPLC is the case study. The bureaucracy is the threat. The mechanism must be dismantled. 📲 Subscribe, listen, and share The P.A.S.

The Left’s Political Violence Problem Can’t Be Ignored 04/30/2026

The Left’s Political Violence Problem Can’t Be Ignored Political violence is escalating, and the left’s political violence problem can’t be ignored. This episode exposes how media narratives, Democratic rhetoric, and selective data create a permission structure for violence. The latest Trump assassination attempt is not an isolated incident.

Missing Scientists and the Counterintelligence Failure Eleven scientists are either missing or dead, and the silence from federal agencies is becoming impossible to ignore.

Should America Leave NATO? 04/06/2026

Should America Leave NATO? Is NATO a mutual defense alliance, or has it devolved into a multi-billion dollar American security subsidy? Should America leave NATO? As the United States continues to serve as the default guarantor of Western security, European “allies” are increasingly restricting airspace, denying base access, and treating their obligations as optional when American interests are on the line.

From recent disputes with Spain and Italy to the long-term delinquency of Old Europe, this episode asks whether the alliance still serves America’s strategic interests or whether it has outlived its value.

The One-Way Guarantee: How the U.S. underwrites European security while allies treat their support as optional.

Tony Shaffer to break down the Iran conflict, the real state of the battlefield, and the bigger strategic stakes the media keeps ignoring. This conversation goes beyond the usual headlines and empty pundit talking points.

Iran War Endgame: Who Really Runs Tehran? Iran War Endgame: Who Really Runs Tehran? As the Iran war escalates, the real question is no longer just what has been destroyed.
