Just a heads up.

Maybe it's my browser but I get a lot of popups, one advertisement redirect and a couple of certificate expired warnings on the link.

It is a valid newspaper but the article is in it's blog section?

I have multiple paid for apps for viruses, malware and trojans (and key loggers
) .. none have giving any indication of any shenanigans!

The head of Missouri's most visible KKK group claims his "Klanline" is being flooded with calls from prospective recruits angered by the continuing protests in Ferguson.

"Missouri is definitely on fire right now," says Frank Ancona, the imperial wizard of the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. In the past the group made headlines by passing out fliers for a KKK neighborhood watch program, but Ancona tells Daily RFT the Ferguson protests are attracting a new wave hopeful hood-wearers. He says he's inducted 50 new members to the group's Missouri chapter this month, and numbers are up in Ohio and Alabama as well.

"These Ferguson protesters are the best recruiters since Obama," he says. "Normally we might hear from ten people a week in Missouri, and now we're hearing from more like fifty people a week. Sometimes, depending on these news stories, we get 100, 200 calls in a day."

I got none of those things when finding the article through a search engine. Maybe it is your browser.

Anyway, thanks for the link.

...But Ancona says the time for such restraint is over. He cites death threats made against police officers on social media and statements from outspoken activists, such as notoriously inflammatory livestreamer Bassem Masri, as reasons the Klan can no longer stay on the sidelines.

"I call them terrorists, not protesters," he says.
Well, he's not wrong about that...it's just a little hypocritical of a group like the KKK calling someone else terrorists as if they never had a history of terrorizing people.

I thought that whole KKK /Ferguson thing was shot down as being made up? I think the first time around the Southern Poverty Law Center tried to pass it off as legitimate but it quickly was revealed to be a hoax. One guy says something, who may not even exist, and we're supposed to believe it? The authorities won't be wasting time worrying about a KKK threat where none exists.

There is a Klavern a few miles north of my shop..not saying it means anything at all,but over the last few months I have noticed a BIG increase in confederate flags in truck back windows and a few more of these stickers as well.

T-Shirts - ****** Jokes, Tightrope Records - Tightrope Records--White Power--White Pride--KKK--Ku Klux Klan--Skinhead--Nazi--Shirts - The Original Boys In The Hood t-shirt, kkk, ku klux klan

Like I say,maybe I've just had my head up my butt and not noticed them before,but it seems that I am seeing a lot of them now.

I don't think this would be a good time for me to go to Missouri(at least the Greater STL area).

Where I live, I'm seeing more people fly Confederate flags from their trucks. Not as many as it could be, but I am seeing more of it. As soon as I get enough money, I'm moving elsewhere.
