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.
