Ping to #40
Firstly, it looks to me like the black man did not infiltrate the KKK. The sources in #40 seem to say that he got a white man to do it for him.
Secondly, I didn’t see an estimate of how many KKK people there were in CO. I’m pretty sure David Duke was near the east coast somewhere. For all I know he sent one guy to CO to try and recruit.
The KKK was big in OK in the early 20th century, but by the 1960s was defunct. I don’t see any reason to suspect any significant KKK activity in CO in the second half of the century.
Actually, the more I think about it, the more I want to say that this man was outright lying when he said he “infiltrated” the KKK. He messed with a few racists in a rather adolescent way, that’s all.
He professes that at least one of the KKK members he identified was a commissioned officer stationed at NORAD.
“He professes that at least one of the KKK members he identified was a commissioned officer stationed at NORAD.”
Okay, that’s a bridge too far. No way a KKK member gets the clearances an officer had to have to work at NORAD.
Not even remotely plausible, sorry.
If you want to get even more skeptical, they were apparently two of them. And they had access to nuclear launch triggers: https://www.deseretnews.com/article/635175667/Black-sergeant-was-loyal-Klansman.html
(He calls the Klan investigation “one of the most significant investigations I was ever involved in because of the scope and the magnitude of how it unfolded.”
The investigation revealed that Klan members were in the military, including two at NORAD who controlled the triggers for nuclear weapons.
“I was told they were being reassigned to somewhere like the North Pole or Greenland,” Stallworth said.)
“And they had access to nuclear launch triggers”
That statement betrays a lack of knowledge of how these things work. Makes it sound like one man could waltz in, pull a “trigger,” and launch.
