IKA ANNOUNCES NEW MEMBERSHIP POLICY (4/11/06)
Christians, Odinists, National Socialists,
Skinheads, Nazi's, Defenders, Confederates,
other White Racialists now welcome into FULL
IKA membership!!!
In this the 6th Era of the Ku Klux Klan,
the Imperial Klans of America Knights of
the Ku Klux Klan, led by Imperial Wizard
Ron Edwards, has formed a "New Klan".
This "historic" event recently
took place during the IKA's Spring Fest Celebration
held March 2006 at its Dawson Springs Kentucky,
Headquarters location.
This new membership policy was not one that
came about easily. Since its beginning the
IKA has been a Klan that only accepted Christians
into its Ranks. It always prided itself in
having Unity with other organizations concerned
with the future of our White Race. In doing
so it sometimes found itself as an outcast
in some circles. This did not deter Wizard
Edwards and the IKA members. They felt the
UNITY with those who saw the White Race as
under attack, was more important than being
looked down upon, because it invited these
other Organizations and Crews to share in
their Festivals and Gatherings. The IKA was
always proud to have these other racialist
groups fly their own Flags alongside the
IKA's.
This spirit of Unity on the part of the IKA,
sometimes known as Klannishness, often attracted
those of other White Nationalist, White Supremacist
and or White Separatist views. Many wanted
to become a part of the IKA and share in
its Brotherhood and able leadership. They
often remarked that a part of the attraction
of the IKA was that Imperial Wizard Ron Edwards
had been a stable Wizard for a number of
years and was always there for his people.
Imperial Wizard Ron Edwards convened a meeting
at this years IKA Fall Fest held in March.
He specifically wanted to address issues
that were arising from the new type of applicants
the IKA was attracting and the stated beliefs
that the IKA had posted on its website for
so many years. The long held KKK belief in
States Rights vs. the National Socialism
view held by many Klansman today, was discussed
at length. The Imperial Minister of Propaganda
for the IKA described how National Socialism
differs from our common stereotype of Socialism
that is associated sometimes with Marxism
or Communism. He also described some of the
beliefs of other White Nationalist groups
and the reality of IKA members that hold
these beliefs. Needless to say much attention
was devoted to his insight in this later
statement.
The Grand Dragon of the Realm of Virginia
represented the side of the older, more "traditional"
Ku Klux Klan. I expressed my concern that
as a "Christian" Klan we might
already be putting so much emphasis on these
other groups within the IKA that our Christian
message was being obscured. If our stated
beliefs need revision I felt we needed to
do so and to state what they now were. A
Klan like the IKA that responds to the needs
of the White race needs to work at the process
of continually defining itself. We could
not state one thing on our website and in
reality practice something else.
Our Wizard listened very intensely as the
discussion ensued. From my perspective he
was very concerned that our Christian orientation
remain strong like it always has. However,
he noted one of the IKA's great strengths
has been it's ability to get along well with
other White racialist organizations, and
they with us. He wanted to be clear that
he cherished the old ways of the Ku Klux
Klan and would always be a Klansman. Yet
the original Klan, under Imperial Wizard
Nathaniel Forrest did not form to be a Christian
Church; just as the IKA does not exist to
be a Christian Identity Church. The original
Ku Klux Klan came into existence because
White people were in trouble. They were being
oppressed and they needed something like
the Klan to come to the aid of the White
Race.
Ron Edwards has decided that today's "New
Klan", is in reality none other than
the resurrection of the Original Ku Klux
Klan. The Klan of the 6th Era, the IKA, has
become emboldened with the spirit of all
White Warriors that have went before it!
We now are empowered like never before. We
now draw on the strength of the heritage
of the many White Supremacist Groups within
the ranks of the IKA. Now, within the IKA,
the message of all groups will be heard.
No one's/groups/crews/organizations message
will be obscured. Each will be able to have
their own separate identity within the Klan,
be they Odinists, National Socialists, Nazi's,
Skinheads, Defenders, Confederates, or any
other group so dedicated to our Cause.
As to how all of this develops, only time
will tell. I do know that for over a year
now a number of Odinists have had their own
adherents as members of the IKA. Things have
worked well for the most part. They are some
of our most active members. We have our separate
faiths, yet we are bound by our Aryan heritage
and IKA Brotherhood.
It is a privilege to be given the authority
by Ron to announce this new IKA membership
policy and to give my perspective on it.
Mine is one of many, as there are many committed
IKA Brothers and Sisters who are continually
involved in our Brotherhood. I look forward
to standing alongside the White Nationalist
groups as they grow within the IKA.
The IKA WELCOMES CHRISTIANS, ODINISTS, NATIONAL
SOCIALISTS, SKINHEADS, DEFENDERS, CONFEDERATES,
AND ALL OTHER WHITE RACIALISTS!!!
