A WOMAN invited to a rural Louisiana campsite for a Ku Klux Klan initiation ritual was shot and killed after she asked to be taken back to town.

Eight people were arrested after authorities found the woman's body hidden under some brush, on the side of a road several kilometres from the remote campsite where the initiation was planned.

Investigators found weapons, several flags and six Klan robes at the campsite in St Tammany Parish.

Sheriff Jack Strain said the woman, whose identity was not released, was recruited over the internet to participate in the ritual and then return to her home state of Oklahoma to find other members for the white supremacist group.

But Strain said the group's leader, Raymond ``Chuck'' Foster, 44, shot and killed the woman Sunday after a fight broke out when she tried to leave. Foster was charged with second-degree murder and is being held without bond.

Capt George Bonnett, a spokesman for the sheriff's department, said he didn't know what the initiation involved.

``We haven't completely sorted out if they finished the initiation,'' he said. ``I assume that they had started it, but I don't know if they were finished.''

Bonnett said he doesn't know if Foster has a lawyer. He also said that in three years with the department, this was the first time he had seen a case involving the KKK.

Seven others were charged with obstruction of justice and were held on $500,000 bond at the St Tammany Parish jail. All eight of the suspects live in neighbouring Washington Parish, but Bonnett said he couldn't immediately identify their hometowns.

Authorities said some of the suspects tried to conceal the crime by burning the woman's belongings along with other items at the campsite.

Strain said the woman arrived in the Slidell, Louisiana, area last week and was met by two people connected to the Klan group.

She was taken over the weekend to the campsite near Sun, Louisiana, on the banks of the Pearl River. Sun is about 90km north of New Orleans.


This is the biggest load of rubbish I have read in a long time about the Klan.
 
Is the Dixie Brotherhood Klan? And it does sound like bs. And again apparently this "woman" was brought in through the internet.

COVINGTON, La. - An woman invited to a rural Louisiana campsite for a Ku Klux Klan initiation ritual was shot and killed after she asked to be taken back to town, the sheriff of a New Orleans suburb said Tuesday.

Eight people were arrested after authorities found the woman's body hidden under some brush, on the side of a road several miles from the remote campsite where the initiation was planned.

Investigators found weapons, several flags and six Klan robes at the campsite, St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Jack Strain said in a news release.

Strain said the woman, whose identity was not released, was recruited over the Internet to participate in the ritual and then return to her home state of Oklahoma to find other members for the white supremacist group.

Woman killed Sunday
But Strain said the group's leader, Raymond "Chuck" Foster, 44, shot and killed the woman Sunday after a fight broke out when she tried to leave. Foster was charged with second-degree murder and is being held without bond.

Capt. George Bonnett, a spokesman for the sheriff's department, said he didn't know what the initiation involved.

"We haven't completely sorted out if they finished the initiation," he said. "I assume that they had started it, but I don't know if they were finished."

Bonnett said he doesn't know if Foster has an attorney. He also said that in three years with the department, this was the first time he had seen a case involving the KKK.

Seven others — five men and two women from 20 to 30 years old — were charged with obstruction of justice and were held on $500,000 bond at the St. Tammany Parish jail. All eight of the suspects live in neighboring Washington Parish, but Bonnett said he couldn't immediately identify their hometowns.

'Dixie Brotherhood'
Strain said the woman arrived in the Slidell, La., area last week and was met by two people connected to the Klan group. She was taken over the weekend to the campsite near Sun, Louisiana, on the banks of the Pearl River. Sun is about 60 miles north of New Orleans.

Authorities said the group's members called themselves the "Dixie Brotherhood."

"The IQ level of this group is not impressive, to be kind," Strain said, adding, "I can't imagine anyone feeling endangered or at risk by any one of these kooks."

Mark Pitcavage, directive of investigative research for the Anti-Defamation League, said the Dixie Brotherhood appears to be a small, loosely organized group of people.

"This is not what I would call an established Klan group," he said. "The Klan has a pretty high association with violence. Some of these guys are just crooks, sociopaths."

**BTW, how many "suspects" in the last few months have been sought through the internet?
 
Unlike Islam, there is no death penalty for leaving (or not joining) the Klan.

This fabricated tale is simply a jew-concocted hate slur against Whites.
 
Well, if you ask me she looks like a dyke. I didn't think these groups accepted dykes, faggots or lesbos.......

Investigators probe victim's background, Klan involvement

CYNTHIA C LYNCH
ODOC# 515828
Application

Authorities have identified a Tulsa woman who was killed during an initiation into a relatively unknown Ku Klux Klan group in Louisiana.

Cynthia Charlotte Lynch, 43, was recruited over the Internet and apparently had planned to return to Oklahoma after her initiation and start recruiting efforts here, according to the St. Tammany Parish (La.) Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators in both Oklahoma and Louisiana are looking into her background and are working to determine how and why she became affiliated with the white-supremacist
group.

As far as St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Sgt. George Cox knows, Lynch had never been in Louisiana before, and her only previous contact with the white-supremacist group was through the Internet. “We gather this was the first time she had been down here,†he told the Tulsa World.

Authorities believe that Lynch was the only person in Oklahoma whom the KKK group was recruiting. Eight people have been arrested in connection with her slaying.

Cox, head of the sheriff’s Major Crimes Unit, said Wednesday that the eight suspects told law enforcement officials the victim’s identity.

Lynch arrived in the Slidell, La., area last week and was taken by Klan members to a remote campsite surrounded by woods and bayous on the Pearl River near Sun, La., for the initiation, the Sheriff’s Office reported.

When she asked to be taken back to town Sunday, an altercation took place, and she was shot to death by the group’s leader, Raymond “Chuck†Foster, 44, the Sheriff’s Office alleges.

Foster was charged with second-degree murder in connection with the slaying and was booked without bail into the St. Tammany Parish Jail in Covington, La.

Lynch reportedly had applied to Foster’s KKK group, the Sons of Dixie, after contacting the chapter through the Internet.

After her body was found Monday, authorities found some of her personal belongings at the campsite, Cox told the Tulsa World. Among those items were application forms that she had filled out to join the Ku Klux Klan chapter based out of Bogalusa, La.

The Tulsa World obtained a copy of the application form, which confirmed Lynch’s address in Tulsa, but authorities had blacked out her street and e-mail addresses.

On the application, Lynch indicated that she was divorced and had no children.

She also wrote that she had an expunged felony for an attempted “murder on ex-husband†— something that cannot be confirmed through court records. :rolleyes:

Authorities in Louisiana suspect that she made up the claim, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Lynch does have a criminal history in Oklahoma, according to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections. DOC records coordinator Kevin Moore said Wednesday that she received a two-year deferred sentence for possession of a controlled substance in 2005.

Court records show that four counts were filed against her in Tulsa County District Court on May 17, 2005. Three of those charges — for breach of the peace, resisting an officer and obstructing an officer — were dismissed on Oct. 25, 2005.

According to Tulsa County court records, the fourth count — apparently the drug charge — has been expunged, indicating that she successfully completed a probationary period.

The Tulsa Police Department’s Intelligence Unit, which investigates the activities of people involved in things such as gangs and narcotics, is now trying to find out more about Lynch and her associates, said Tulsa Police Sgt. Sean Larkin.

The Police Department’s Gang Unit database contains 27 certified KKK members and associates who have had contact with police in this area, Larkin told the Tulsa World.

“We have not certified — or actually had contact and certified — somebody as a KKK member for six years now, whereas with street gangs, we are certifying new people about every week,†Larkin said.

He said he would not consider the KKK to be active here. More often, Tulsa police have contact with members of the United Aryan Brotherhood, a white-supremacist group with which people typically become affiliated while in prison.

Mark Potok, director of the Intelligence Project of the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Ala., said it is not uncommon for white-supremacist groups to try to recruit members through the Internet. However, they typically are not successful, he said.

The homicide itself is also very unusual, he said.

“I have been doing this work for 11 years, and I have never seen the killing of a would-be initiate,†Potok said.

The Intelligence Project, which monitors the activities of hate groups across the country, is not familiar with a Klan chapter by the name Sons of Dixie, he said. However, it does have a record of Foster’s involvement with the Klan back to at least 2001.

Foster was the founding Imperial Wizard, or national leader, of the Southern White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, which was based in Watson, La. That group disbanded in 2005, Potok said. The SPLC was previously aware of seven Klan chapters in Louisiana, none of which was based in Bogalusa, he said.

Nationally, active white supremacist groups increased in number from 602 in 2000 to 888 in 2007, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. However, in the last three years, the total number of Klan chapters has dropped nationally.

We believe in the sanctity of the home and in family values. We believe in the Constitution and the rights provided within.

Everything within the Empire Knights is of a volunteer nature. Certainly we want you to distribute literature, spread the Klan message to all who will listen, to educate yourself on the issues facing America. We ask you to educate and inspire your children by living and acting as a responsible parent.

The greatest influence on your children is how you live your life. We also ask that you attend and support meetings and gatherings as often as possible, but we also understand the demands of both home life and work. The Empire Knights will never ask you to put the organization first in your priorities. We believe that the family unit is the most important institution, and we encourage you to devote time to your family and relationships.

Some associates are able to be more active then others. We are composed of many different people, with different abilities. We all can not perform the same task, but we can all work TOGETHER as a single body to accomplish great things. Some can spend many hours distributing and preparing literature, attending rallies, and organizing, while others may not feel comfortable with a particular job. Everyone has something to offer, whether it be physical, financial or clerical or even mental. We all have certain God given talents and gifts, utilizing these gifts and contributing to not only The Order but to your community and country is up to you.

Our bodies are made up of everything from a brain, hands, feet, elbows, hair and fingernails and each serve a different function. But what part of your body do you want to do without? Each part of the body performs a vital function, and when called upon to do its job, no other part of the body can replace it. Your assistance to The Order will be appreciated, regardless of the vital function you are able to perform.

Is the KKK making a comeback?

Published: November 16, 2008

MIAMI, OK — Johnny Lee Clary had a unique perspective when he read of Cynthia C. Lynch’s death at a Ku Klux Klan initiation in the Louisiana bayous. He viewed the tragedy through the eyes of a former Ku Klux Klan leader.

Johnny Lee Clary warns others to be vigilant of hate propaganda.

Hate group propaganda on
Nov 13 An Oklahoma Highway Patrol official says yes.


Now he has a warning.

"The KKK is making a comeback in Oklahoma,†said Clary, 49, who now travels the world preaching against hate. "I’ve seen this coming for some time now, and my message to fellow Oklahomans is: Don’t buy their messages of hate. There are a number of things they will try to use to their advantage to spread their hate propaganda — the poor economy, illegal immigration, the election of a black president. Just remember, this is the kind of violence they are capable of.â€

Clary’s words were echoed last week by other experts who track hate groups. They say the landscape is fertile for the recruitment of targets such as Lynch — a divorced 43-year-old who drifted in and out of legal trouble.

"In the 1980s, we had the recession and the farm crisis when we saw a spike in KKK membership,†said Mark Pitcavage, an Anti-Defamation League historian and analyst on extremist groups. "Then in the 1990s, despite relatively prosperous economic times, we saw another spike with the election of Bill Clinton, which didn’t sit well with a number of right-wing, militant groups. Now, in a sense, we have both — an economic crisis and the first black president.â€

Numbers vary on how many Ku Klux Klan organizations there are in Oklahoma because some choose to remain in the shadows of society. Pitcavage estimates there are at least "four or five contact points,†ranging from an individual recruiter to a full-fledged chapter.

The Southern Poverty Law Center names six organizations in Oklahoma — five chapters of the Pennsylvania-based Brotherhood of Klans Knights of the KKK and a group associated with the Louisiana-based Bayou Knights of the KKK. Clary’s intelligence suggests "many, many more splinter groups.â€

Nationally, the Anti-Defamation League estimates somewhere between "4,000 and 5,000†Klan members exist.

"The Klan preys on people during hard economic times — times when they are vulnerable,†Clary said.

Clary rose through the ranks of White Knights to the status of imperial wizard. Publicity about his title brought about the demise of his professional wrestling career.

Disillusioned, he quit the Klan in 1989.

With nowhere to turn, Clary reached for the Bible. He attended a multi-racial church in Tulsa and soon started seeing beyond the color of a person’s skin. His journey inspired him to speak out against the Klan, which marked him as a "race traitor.â€

He still receives several death threats a week.

The Klan preys on people during hard economic times — times when they are vulnerable.â€

I beg to differ, turncoat--the Klan re-emerges each time the savage nigger beast steps out of line and whenever the parasitic jew steals our people blind.

God, Race, Nation! Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, and Forever!

I agree. This whole story stunk to high heaven when I first heard it. This a media driven horse**** story (as usual) to try to discredit the Klan. When was the last time the Klan got any positive media? "The Birth of a Nation" maybe in 1915?

Hearing set for Wednesday in KKK murder case in St. Tammany
by From staff and wire reports
Tuesday February 17, 2009, 1:50 PM

A St. Tammany Parish grand jury is expected to consider Wednesday the case of an Oklahoma woman, allegedly recruited by a Bogalusa-based Ku Klux Klan group then shot to death when she asked to leave an initiation ritual.

Authorities said 43-year-old Cynthia Lynch, of Tulsa, was shot to death last November in rural St. Tammany Parish, north of New Orleans.

Raymond Chuck Foster, 44, is accused of shooting Cynthia Lynch on Nov. 9 after she told him, and others of the group, that she wanted to go home. Foster, the alleged imperial wizard of the Bogalusa Sons of Dixie Knights o
f the Ku Klux Klan, was booked on a second-degree murder charge.

A parish grand jury is set to meet Wednesday and District Attorney spokesman Rick Wood says there will be "activity" in the Lynch case. He would not provide details.

Seven other members of the group, including Foster's son, Shane Foster, 20, were booked with obstruction of justice in the shooting.
