Perhaps the 20th century Klan wasn't everything that Hollywood and the Cohen Brothers (Oh Brother) has made them out to be?

Maybe we will learn from the Weinstein, Epstein, and NXIVM cases that there are far more heinous happenings by politically connected elites?

Sometimes it really is as of the leftist media projects so hard to distract from their own sick criminality.

Photographer Cliff Bingham was brave....can't imagine him being at all comfortable at a klan rally.

Notice how the article said that "the KKK is back..." as if people had stopped participating long before that event. Why?

This was a bunch of Hoover's SpecialAgents playacting with some gullible locals. Nobody was going to get hurt. In the 1950s the KKK was nothing more than an FBI honeypot just like it is today.

The FBI has always had to justify its existence. Hoover was not popular in Washington. With few communists to chase in Mississippi, infiltrating a violent fraternal organization was the perfect operation. Hoover wanted Agents working in every state.

If the operation didn't produce criminals to prosecute, it was defunded and disbanded. It would be interesting if you could find many more articles about this group.

My pawpaw and uncle (his brother) tell a story of going to one of these back in the 50s and their story goes that nearly all of the hooded klansmen talked like yankees. It was like they got out of towners came in to town put on a show once and then left.

I love how this klan group had to affirmatively state it’s unique identity from other klan groups.

And I like how the grand dragon was also a baptist preacher all over Al Ga and Ms.

Some things never change it seems

In the 1960s Tupelo's Klan called itself the Knights of the Green Forrest and they had several rallies at a farm house at Skyline a few miles east of the Tupelo city limits. Dale Walton was the Grand Dragon and he had political connections in Jackson. I went to 2 of the rallies and there were people there that were suspected of being from the FBI or some other federal agency but it seemed very unlikely that the situation was a phony FBI setup.

I think Eisenhower was very impressed by Hitler’s Autobahn in Germany. The German army could mobilize vast equipment rapidly. When Eisenhower became president, construction on I-55 began. I think several other limited access highways also. From this article, the government already had plans or ideas during President Truman’s administration.

The Klan was simply the prevalent social club of middle class and poor whites of the day and the enforcement wing of the all powerful Democratic party. The successors of the club and the party are all Republicans today. Good ole boys.

KKK - the enforcement arm of the Democrat Party. (The truth hurts because it should).

It is telling that the DNC/libs rarely bring up the KKK, especially considering that Democrat members of Congress were also members of the KKK. (But that was a different time, right? Right?)

How many adults in this state are stupid enough to fall for 2:39's KKK/Democrat line? Of course 2:39 was gullible enough to fall for the line when Faux News and Hannity called it news.

Dixiecrats and Freedom Democrats parted company with the Republican party proudly lifting the Stars-N-Bars when Ronald Reagan announced his candidacy in Philadelphia

But Mississippi remains at the bottom as the majority of those who vote are either too dumb or too indoctrinated to recognize they are being played for suckers just as many Democrats are.
