Default KKK and Us

Folks,

Heard some time ago about the KKK in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Did some on line snooping. There was there a pile of them! By the looks of things found, there is still a lot of them around. I do know that there was Clavens all over Alberta/Sask.

Here is a copy of their manifest.

The Alberta KKK is incorporated in Alberta. Apparently the only place in the world it has legal standing. Go figure.

regards,

Don



Tacked to the Innisfail, Alberta United Church door, about 1975

At one time the KKK had more members than any other orginization in Saskatchewan, with the only exception being the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool.

Even the honourable General "Stonewall" Jackson (founding memeber of the KKK) denounced that organization after its wayward activities and motives started taking place.
He retired a school teacher.

Even General Lee said if he had to do it all over....he would NOT have faught the confederate war. It was a huge meaningless waste of human life.

What "history" books have you been reading? Jackson was wounded in Chancellorville and died from to complications due to pneumonia after having his arm amputated -- a full two years before the first Klan was ever formed.

Hardly a "retirement".

Actually it was General Nathan Bedford Forrest. Clan even got a very favorable presentation in the classic silent movie Birth of a Nation.

The KKK had a cross burning here in 1990....made pretty big news at the time. It was started by a guy who had moved here in the oilpatch, I think.....

All due respect but, General Jackson was killed at Chancellorsville May 2nd, 1863. The first KKK was formed in 1865 with Nathen Bedford Forrest being the first Wizzard. That maybe who you were thinking of.

Grew up around it a lot in Caroline. Not much there now since Terry Long moved away but still has quite the rep around for it.

This doesn't seem to be the Klan of the south ,the Klan of
Yesteryear .
Seems to be the ideology of any good red neck albertan .
The. Mixed races thing is confusing ,but I guess as long as your against
The Feds ,some law enforcement , for the little guy. Your good to go
Kind of a dichotomy.....if you have all these races ...then should have
Read. A God ....

Seems kind of benign if this is there Credo

1975 really ,good work Don....I use to get a paper at my door in Calgary
In late 80's that expounded these beliefs....definitely against the Feds ,
Paying fed taxes....but was for bettering the cause of whites.....

Obviously more of a social club ,you know like the knights of Columbus,
Kiwanis,Shriners,

Yup, he and Keegstra put Caroline and Eckville on the map. Half a dozen clowns in a back room don't mean much realistically, but as always, the Media can get a handle on it and you'd believe everyone thought that way.

They're alive and kicking in the States, my Step-Dad was invited in back when he joined the local Masonic Lodge during their spell living in east Texas, and naturally he declined. I wouldn't have a clue about their existence up here, I think if they do they sure keep a lower profile than the Neo-Nazi's and those type of hate groups.

I think the "racial and religious integrity" could mean no inter-racial or inter-faith marriages. In which case, the other race/religions would have to believe to keep their individual race/religion pure.

JMHO.

I have no idea how anybody could figure that Freemasonry and the KKK are even remotely connected?

You've got me, and as a good fellow he did his part in not connecting them. FWIW I'm fairly certain the invite was extended casually from another member(s) rather than anything to do with the Lodge itself. He said it gave him the heebie-jeebies.

I made no assertions that the Masons are an organization with any such views, that would be your own misinterpretation of what I wrote. I hold the organization in high esteem and I don't need to do some research, I've done plenty. You know some Mason's in BC, I know plenty right here........
