SHOCKING RESULTS OF LYNCHING

KKK TODAY "There is a race war against whites. But our people - my white brothers and sisters - will stay committed to a non-violent resolution. That resolution must consist of solidarity in white communities around the world. The hatred for our children and their future is growing and is being fueled every single day. Stay firm in your convictions. Keep loving your heritage and keep witnessing to others that there is a better way than a war torn, violent, wicked, socialist, new world order. That way is the Christian way - law and order - love of family - love of nation. These are the principles of western Christian civilization. There is a war to destroy these things. Pray that our people see the error of their ways and regain a sense of loyalty. Repent America! Be faithful my fellow believers. " National Director of The Knights, Pastor Thomas Robb

STILL AS STRONG AS EVER America has always faced multiple attacks on our Country What they fail to see is the attacks coming from within After September 11 the only worry was about the al Qaeda terrorist group\ Yet the Ku Klux Klan was still alive as ever and continuing to cause havoc in the South

LEGEND CONTINUES The KKK continues to cause minor crimes like acts of intimidation to major crimes such as hate crimes and acts of terrorism. Now a days they claim to use euphemisms instead of racial epithets and proclaim pride in their “heritage” rather than hatred of other groups. Klan still believes that any race other than whites, are a threat to the white community. They believe that only their Klan can cleanse the nation and ride of all the wrong.

PUT AN END TO THE HATRED The only way to stop this down ward spiral is to educate the public on the issues. According to biologist and geneticists there is no such thing as race. Based on the genes, the body determines how much skin pigment to display. If the world can understand what scientist can prove, it would make the world a better place to live. It requires an open mind and a willingness to change to stop these hate crimes. If we all work together we can put a stop to not only the KKK but the rest of racism as we know it
