Ku Klux Klan (KKK)

Summary

The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is a white supremacist hate organization founded in 1865 by Confederate veterans in Pulaski, Tennessee. Throughout its history, the Klan has used terrorism, violence, and intimidation against African Americans, Jews, immigrants, Catholics, and other minority groups.

The organization has been explicitly identified as a participant in gangstalking operations, with documented infiltration of law enforcement agencies and coordination with other extremist groups. According to researcher Dr. Sean Hross, the KKK also has alleged Swiss connections through its symbolism, founding, and connections to Swiss settlers in the United States.
