White Supremacy in America: The Ku Klux Klan
by Throughout its history, the KKK has managed to remain a violent terrorist group based on white supremacy, through all its incarnations. They attacked minority groups, especially freed slaves and other blacks, Jews, Roman Catholics, and homosexuals.
In many ways the Klan was very similar to the Nazis. The name of the Klan is derived from the Greek word Kryptos which means “circle”. They used to be very violent and had no problem with expressing their ideas regarding different races and religions. There were three different periods of time in which the Klan was at large; they died out and then restarted themselves many times.
The first Klan was started by a man named Nathan Bedford Forrest and a group of Confederate soldier veterans (Ingalls 389). They were based in Pulaski, Tennessee and formed the KKK in 1865. In its early stages the Ku Klux Klan was very secretive. Because it was so secretive, it was very disorganized. It had no ranks or means of secret communication.
Until it gained more power and was more recognizable, no one knew who was behind the Klan’s attacks. The attacks were mostly directed towards disarming freed slaves who received firearms due to the Civil War. In one Florida county Klansmen killed over 150 blacks. The first Klan fell when Congress passed the Force Bill, or “Bloody Bill”, in 1871, which allowed the President to use the federal militia against the Ku Klux Klan. The KKK disappeared soon afterwards (Ingalls 389, 390).
The second Klan was founded by William J. Simmons in Atlanta, 1915 (Ingalls 389, 890). Simmons had served in the Spanish-American War and started the Klan with a group of men, all either from the former Klan or were young white supremacists. By the mid-1920s the Ku Klux Klan had reached six million members and had members as far north as Canada . In some areas 40% of white males were involved in the Klan. For a while the Klan was lead by David Ernest Duke, a state representative of Louisiana.
Klansmen hung a Jewish man from a tree because he was accused of the rape-murder of a young girl. Many lawsuits were filed against the Klan because of this . The Klan began to fall in the 1930s because of bankruptcy and a scandal involving the Grand Dragon of Indiana, D.C. Stephenson. Stephenson raped a young girl on a train. The girl did not die but suffered severe bite wounds all over her body. One spectator said that it looked like she “…Had been attacked by a group of vicious dogs.” By 1944 the Klan had died out completely (Ingalls 390).
The third Klan was restarted in Atlanta, in 1946. This time it was founded by Samuel Green. After Green died in 1949 the Klan split into independent groups. In the 1960s violence from the Ku Klux Klan increased due to the civil rights movement. In 1965 the FBI designed project COINTELPRO to take down the Klan. Klansmen became frightened and the Klan lost membership. Klansmen hung Michael Donald, a black man, due to accusations of sexual assault. Again, the Klan was slammed with lawsuits. The Klan lost even more membership.
The Klan is still active today at about three thousand Klansmen
.Most Klans are now in the South. Some notable Klan groups are the Bayou Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, the Church of American Knights of the KKK, the Imperial Klans of America, Knights of White Kamelia, and the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
Although the Klan still has remained a white supremacist group despite the fact that they died out many times, they hardly ever practice their beliefs and have midnight conventions as it would be extremely illegal. Today the Klan is regarded with fear, and for good reason. They killed thousands of innocent people.
Key points to remember about the Ku Klux Klan are that there was three times the Klan was active and they were a very violent organization. The Force Bill had a huge impact on the KKK and if it was not for that bill then the Klan would still be very large and dangerous, and the Klan was mostly based in the South.

the mark of the beast is 666, and the klan is kkk, so that means the beast is a race hate organisation that perpetrates war and famine and the theory of confusion and destruction, eg things like christmas should be banned along with the klanfor the are just some of the tentacles of the beast, like the corruption of government

Any culture that is different from Greek Mythology of Olympus or Nordic mythology of Asgard are perverted and degenerated soceties. This is a scientific matter of facts.
Anybody who has to do with religion is a sick pervert who is against science and logical common sense.
It is Obvious that the most poverful and intelligent cultures were the Greek, the Roman and the Nordic.
After the jews started to spread their religions of th eson of a prostitute as a god, like Jewish, Muslim, Catholic, people become all perverts and degenerates.
As it is obvious, thta if any society will deny a simple fact of logic and natural selection,that only the most goodloking, intelligent and strong can command the world, thi sculture is automatically is doomed to become corrupted, perverted degenrated and disappear at the end.

Thanks for your comments, everyone.
I realize now that some of the information in this article is innaccurate, and somewhat misleading. This is due to the book that I used to research The Klan what heavily biased (the name escapes me now, but the author’s name is Ingalls).
Thanks for your understanding, and by all means, keep commenting!
Sincerely,
Conor

I have always believed that the insercurities in the kkk are a result of them not accepting that the white race are no more than lepers who have mutated over the last 250,000 years.they are of the reult of africans who were born lepers and made to dwell in the caves of europe becoming cannabals.I believe its naturally in the nature to be evil.

Crime and evil are influenced by all races, not just blacks. Even if you were right in saying that they have been the main cause for influencing crime, if we the white race are so far superior to them, then why have we not denied and rejected their so called barbaric ways? One who is corrupted by evil is no better than the person doing the corrupting.

I think that the Klan is made up with a bunch of insecure, ignorant people just wanting to figure out a way to show people they are somehow “beeter”. I don’t want to be rude, but people with NOTHING are usually in here, I mean they want a feeling of security and this is the only way they will get it. :] Azn power!

Al Sharptom, Jesse Jackson, Reverant Wright(Obamas Preacher for 25 years) Extremist and verbal Radicals exmplifying “Black Power”
RACIST COMMENTS by theses men are no different than the KKK expressing there opionions and beliefs, The Afro-Americans stand under the ACLU for there rights for the Freedom of Speech under the first amendment rights, The KKK HAS THE SAME RIGHTS ALSO,

I think the Klan is crazy to believe that in the future there will be a “race war”. Therefore, they need to arm themselves, and degrade others. They say all these things about Mexicans, Blacks, etc., because they never actually took the time to know them. It’s sad because they actually think only people who are different then them murder, sell drugs, and committ robberies. When in reality, ALL RACES committ these unspeakable acts. Not to mention the fact that they base a majority of their principles on the works of Hitler?! Come on people wake up!!

‘NORMALMAN’ and ‘RASTA BLACK SUPREMACY’…you are both total wankers!!! This world is a mixture of people, the power ebbs and flows, comes and goes, and usually every dog has his day. Sadly this means that someone always suffers
( We are all born equal, it is only when we draw our first breath that we breathe in the atmosphere around us, if it’s an atmosphere of love and understanding then all will be well…regretfully it is all too often an atmosphere of hate…I suppose this sort of atmosphere engendered the ideas of NORMALMAN and RASTA BLACK SUPREMACY! People like you will always attempt to hold the good people back but good lives on…

People can say what they want. The blacks that ran over the law every since they were freed. If a white cop arrests one of them, they yell racism. I am sick of it. The KKK has the right plan to deal with the blacks. the black are not the only ones. Every foreigner is the same way. HANG THEM ALL !!! WHITE POWER : )

Let White Supremacy be What White Supremacy Is
The old tactics – telling lies and calling names has really worked in the past for the “sons of Hell” in their quest for the destruction of God’s Holy Seed upon the Earth. Well, we know what works for us, too! It is the truth that sustains the righteous in our World.
So, let us put our racial theories to practice, shall we?
White Supremacy: Name the race of people that have accomplished more – or even as much as the white peoples of the Earth. What race of people would you be better off living with if good white people decided that you were no longer welcome in our God-given land! (Pick well, because the separation of the races is a fact that is happening right now and those who only spite us and curse us are not going to be among us much longer!) What other race of people would you feel more comfortable piloting the next airplane on you fly on? Whose medicine do you reach for when you are sick? Whose Laws and whose Justice do you seek and you find yourself innocent and in a courtroom? Whose kindness do you look for when you are in trouble and who would you rather have defend you when you are being treated poorly?
Now for those who have been honest so far – we have many problems that maybe you white supremists can help us with?
Perhaps you’ve noticed it is this same God-given kindness we are known for that has been exploited in the last few generations or so with the inundation of all the other peoples of the world into the homelands, ancient or otherwise, that were once exclusively for White Christendom. These are our hate-crazed, mentally ill, Baal-worshipping, Talmudic Rabbis who we first (mistakenly) let live among us a few hundred years ago that have socially engineered this “death by genetic flood” we are facing today! Their belief comes right from the foot of the Tower of Babel, itself, “… The people seek to make themselves one, now, of all they seek to do what then shall be kept from them …?”
We also know that the nonwhite peoples of the Earth have only come to live with us because of their great faith in “white supremacy,” despite the rabbis worst intentions. We know no one ever asked to be born, so we don’t hold anything against you because you exist – we only ask that you allow us a place on the Earth to exist – a place where white people can call home? If you can see this far thru the smoke and dust the Rabbis have kicked up – we (the ones who the Rabbis are calling “white supremists”) will see to it that you have a place called home and a right to defend yourself. If you have faith in Jesus Christ and can agree to obey His good laws – you will never have a greater friend on this planet than your White Christian friend! Because…
For those who say the Earth is not big enough for white people to live here, too – I say let this kindness once afforded to you be withdrawn! I say let those curses you’ve called upon us now come raining down upon your head! I say let your homes be broken in and your strong men bound and your daughters ravished. Let the plagues of Egypt be upon you and your bodies boil over with the sores of Job! You who leer and at our daughters and you who misuse our sons and lay your hands grievously upon His priests, “let these death angels you have summoned for us now come among you and gather their harvest!”
You know, the Rabbis lied to their own people, too! They knew they weren’t these people called Israel – (but then “rolling up balls of mud into godless, mindless, soulless ‘mud-people’ to do the Rabbis’ bidding is what the Talmud is all about so it shouldn’t surprise anyone when we find them doing it! See; golem)
The Rabbis plan on taking off with all their wealth to somewhere like Barbados in the last days – leaving the better but poorer Jews behind to take the brunt of the punishment for their great crimes – just like they did in Germany and just like they did in Haiti 212 years ago.
I will tell you “that they will be making Rabbis into ‘Rib-eyes’ in Barbados on His day!” Karl Gharst

Leo Frank was taken out of his cell and hung because it was believed that the Governor was going to pardon him. (The Governor of Georgia had already commuted his death sentence to life.) Frank was convicted by a lawful jury of the rape and strangulation of Mary Phagan. He was the Chairman of the Atlanta Chapter of the B’nai B’rith at the time. The transcripts of the trial are online. Frank and his Negro security man were caught by the janitor stuffing the 13 yr-old little girl into the furnace. Initially blaming the janitor with Frank, his security man then turned on Frank and together with the janitor – their testimony convicted Frank, despite the best lawyers the B’nai B’rith could provide!
People who know true Southern history know that Klan saved the South from suffering the same fate as aimost a quarter million White Haitians at the beginning of the 19th Century. The story of Haiti is a tragic story with a unhappy ending while the Leo Frank story is a tragic story with a happy ending.
