Pogo rdean It was believed his chapter of the KKK, his website, and his recruiting organization was a front for funneling the names of violent white supremacists thru the Southern Poverty Center to law enforcement. IOW, he was likely one of the good guys.
Frank Ancona said -
"The Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan is a very traditional 2nd Era-like klan and we do not believe in socialism, nazism, paganism, or any other non-American beliefs. We believe that all persons should be allowed the right to believe as they wish, but that does not mean that we as a traditional Ku Klux Klan will fall into those non-Christian beliefs along with the non-believers that practice them. We hold our values to a very high standard and will not tolerate any deviance from those ideals. We will absolutely NOT use our good name as an intimidation tool towards anyone, no matter what race, color, or creed. We are not a hate group as some will have you to believe. The Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan is first and foremost a law abiding group, PERIOD!"
“How can you be a Christian organization and hate other people?”
“I’ve actually taken a lot of heat from other white nationalists because of that, I’m called an N-lover and a Jew, blah, blah, blah. I’m doing everything I can to hold it to the principles it’s supposed to be by.”
“I don’t have anything against Jews. I see a lot of younger folks going toward this Nazi movement. But it’s not the Klan’s philosophy.”
What did "other klans" say about him:
The Loyal White Knights of the KKK is one of the groups that feuded with Ancona, claiming he was Jewish, and not a real member of the KKK.
The Loyal White Knights say on their website that Ancona “first popped up out of nowhere declaring himself Imperial Wizard of his Fake Klan which we all assume is a group created by the government, ADL or JEWISH Southern Poverty Law Center in order to collect names of White ’extremest’ as they call us to turn into the government to put on ‘Terrorist watch list’.”
