“The white kindred of the south and even the north, as well as sea to shining sea, are all uniting on common grounds to restore America as it was founded…as an extension of Europe,” James Moore, the grand dragon (state leader) of the Loyal White Knights, more commonly known as the Ku Klux Klan, stated regarding the distribution of Klan propaganda throughout American suburbs.
On Thursday, Jan. 8, the Knights targeted the Avenues, a neighborhood in Farmville, Virginia, leaving residents perturbed after finding the unsettling propaganda left at their doorsteps in the dark of the night.
According to Moore, the Knights distributed the propaganda, which consisted of fliers titled “Wake up America”and “support the white revolution,” placed in sandwich bags filled with gravel, as a “national recruitment effort.”
“We have had well over 50,000 hits on our website and receive around 500 calls a day,” Moore said about the supposed success that the dispersal of the fliers in neighborhoods throughout the country have bought the Knights.
While Moore is celebrating, residents of Farmville are seemingly upset about being included in the agenda of the Ku Klux Klan.
“It’s pretty disappointing overall,” Longwood History professor and Avenues resident, Dr. David Coles, said in a statement, “Farmville and Prince Edward don’t have a particularly good history with race relations, with the schools and everything else. Every time we think we get beyond that, you still see things like this happening.”
According to the Farmville Herald, local police stood united in their belief that the distribution of the fliers was not carried out by citizens of Prince Edward County. Town manager, Gerald Spates agreed, telling the Herald, ‘that’s not what Farmville’s about. It’s just not the way people think. People don’t think that way around here.”
Nevertheless, Moore stated assuredly that the incident would not be the last time. In fact, Moore informed me that this past weekend, as many Americans celebrated Martin Luther King Day, Knights around the country were busy dropping off anti-Martin Luther King Jr. propaganda.
Moore stated that the, “Klan had uncovered FBI records that exposed Martin Luther King was a Communist and a sexual pervert.”
Moore, an ordained Minister, also stated that the main purpose of the Klan is to,“spread the message of the God fearing whites of America, put Bibles back in schools and have 100 percent pure Americanism represented in politics and restore the Constitution back to its original form.”
The Knights believe that Amendments to the Constitution have taken away the true meaning of Freedom of the Press, and media conglomerates largely run by Jewish citizens have kept them from being able to spread their messages and defend themselves against the negative views people have of the organization.
In the future, the Knights hope to make their views mainstream, but for now, these fliers are what keep them alive.
