Ku Klux Klan Rally Among Government Shut Down Casualties

Tyler Durden's picture




 

While over 800,000 furloughed government workers took the bulk of today's "shutdown" hit (even if that means record high traffic and ad revenues for the world's porn websites) in the form of compensation (that is merely delayed) one of the parties impacted by the first government shutdown in 17 years was none other than the Ku Klux Klan. Reuters reports that a KKK rally was one of the first casualties of the U.S. government shutdown on Tuesday when National Parks officials told the white supremacist group the event would have to be canceled. The KKK had been granted a permit for what it dubbed a First Amendment demonstration on Saturday at Gettysburg National Military Park, but park officials said it could not take place because all National Parks have been closed. "Because of the federal government shutdown, Gettysburg National Military Park has rescinded all permits for special events, including the October 5 First Amendment demonstration," the park said in a statement.

The surreality continues:

Park officials had previously defended the decision to allow the KKK event, saying the group was entitled to the free speech protections afforded by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

 

"As custodians of land owned by the American people, the National Park Service has a responsibility to make the land available for exercising those rights," a statement from the parks said.

One truly can't make this up.

But as long as the KKK sold the VIX and were long the S&P today in the last minutes of trading, we are confident they will get over this minor snub of their "first amendment" rights. Because there is nothing quite like feeling the warm glow of a little Fed-created "wealth effect" when unable to express one's encompassing love for all human brethren of all colors and ethnicities.

Sadly, you are correct.

Modesto Junior College in California told a student that he could not pass out copies of the United States Constitution outside the student center on September 17, 2013—Constitution Day. Captured on video, college police and administrators demanded that Robert Van Tuinen stop passing out Constitution pamphlets and told him that he would only be allowed to pass them out in the college's tiny free speech zone, and only after scheduling it several days or weeks ahead of time.

And it does seem like the white-robed Ku Klux Klan from the beginning was tied up with the Establishment

Particularly the Freemasons, including the famous Klansman Albert Pike, and all of those associations

Klan was dumped by the Powers That Be in mid-20th century ... but the Powers That Be often promote and then dump their vehicles, like the Nazi party of Adolf Schiklgrüber Hitler

There's good evidence that Pike was involved with at least creating the hierarchy of the Klan at the beginning. He distanced himself when it turned into a notorious group rather than the knightly sons of the South he was expecting. But he still has a statue on Federal property, the only Confederate officer with that honor.

Similar story for Nathan Bedford Forrest, who also dumped the Klan when they turned violent, and distanced himself from the group.

Not that any of the sheeple in my generation would know that. Everything we know about Bedford, we learned from the first 30 seconds of Forrest Gump!

The Klan was doing great around Rising Sun, Maryland in the 1970s. They had big outdoor rallies in the summer and people came from miles around to watch the spectacle with the big burning cross and the rednecks garbed up in the only clean clothes most of them owned. Most "regular" people wanted nothing to do with them which is understandable if you've ever tried to have a normal conversation with one of them. They were easily infiltrated by the FBI when the feds finally decided to do something about them. There are a few of them left and they still have ralllies but it's all pretty low key compared to the glory days. Like Bank Guy said above, not much to worry about compared to the Obama supported black militants and the non-reporting of black-on-white crime.

To think shut down could resurrect the face of Geronimo in Yellowstone or Tombstone. Hang em high with their boots on and no furlough.

This story reeks of propaganda to support the aims of the diversity crowd to demonize the white male, again. It is akin to using images of Hitler or skin heads etc. to develop an impresson (the truth is there are only a few individuals involved) when you want to advance the agenda and profits of the Holocaust Industry.

When you talk about false flags this one could be a possible candidate.

Whenever you see a handful of people (there were seven in the photo used by the AP) and the media tries to make something of it, you’re talking propaganda.

Happy Obamacare Day!

Hey Wisehiney.........................Did you know Albert Pike was a YANKEE? Born in Boston, Mass. and was also a Satanist. If you want to read a REAL HAIR-CURLER, read the letter Pike sent to Mazinni dated August, 1871. Mazinni was the guy who originally started the Mafia. Google - Albert Pikes letter to mazinni. Lays out the plan for three world wars, two have already gone down just as planned. Just sayin

I included Pike in my comment in response to another comment. That was not the "Gist" of my point. I have read some of Pikes "Morals and Dogma" though. I will read the letter to which you refer. Sounds interesting.

P.S. Google is showing some references to the letter being a fraud. But I will check it out.

Wiki.....Confusion has arisen as to the precise source of Carr's Three World Wars scenario. As is the case with many of his claims, Carr does not provide a source for that scenario, but mentions a letter written by Pike and addressed to Italian revolutionary leader Giuseppe Mazzini, which outlines a plan for unleashing "Nihilists and Atheists", after World War Three has ended. The confusion was created when Michael Haupt launched his website threeworldwars.com, which mistakenly assumed that Carr also attributed the World War Three scenario to the Pike letter. In fact, the authenticity of this letter is disputed.[19] Carr states that he learned about the letter from the anti-Mason, Cardinal José María Caro Rodriguez of Santiago, Chile, author of The Mystery of Freemasonry Unveiled


Many things are part truth/part propaganda, but I shall look further. Was not aware of any of this. Thanks.
