Under Duke's management, the Knights opened its doors to women and Catholics (while never giving up entirely on the view that women are, above all else, best utilized for producing white babies). Duke thus brought the art of media manipulation to the Klan, wooing mainstream media personalities such as NBC host Tom Snyder and attracting dozens of reporters to write excited stories about the Knights' 1977 'Border Patrol' publicity stunt, a supposed effort to close the U.S.-Mexico border to undocumented entrants that lasted just a few days.

Famously calling on fellow Klansmen to 'get out of the cow pasture and into hotel meeting rooms,' Duke saw himself as the leader of a slick, new Klan which would captivate the public through political discourse, eschewing the violent methods of the past.

But records show that the KKKK was not formally incorporated in Louisiana until 1975, following Lindsay's murder, when Duke listed himself as founder and national director and his then-wife, Chloe, as secretary.Дuke's attempts to win over the old guard of Klan leaders, both by re-imagining the origins of his group and by reaching out early on to fellow 'Klan brothers,' belied his revolutionary plans. The group seems to have first appeared briefly in New Orleans in 1973, with Duke billing himself grand dragon and Jim Lindsay grand wizard. Duke's claim that the Knights were founded in 1956 by Ed White (a pseudonym for Jim Lindsay) has, however, been largely discredited as a propagandistic attempt by the budding Klan leader to fend off depictions of his group as an inconsequential upstart. In true David Duke style, the foundation of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (KKKK) is shrouded in political myth. Love of Race, Love of Nation, Love of Faith. 'Fear of the Klan will never win our people over but rekindling the love for their heritage will - and love of heritage is what we want. KKKK leader Thomas Robb, The White Patriot

Dat's also when A'hs kin have da white girls, and da free food stamps.' David Duke in the run-up to the KKKK's 1977 'Border Patrol' operation Unless we slow down and cut off immigration by beefing up border control and encourage welfare recipients to have fewer kids, the white population in America will be swamped.' America will become a Third World nation if these trends continue. The black birthrate is four times larger.

'The Mexican birthrate in this country is five times that of white people. working around the clock chipping away at our liberty, but thanks to the foresight of our founding fathers America has held out the longest against the global, race mixing, homosexual, anti-Christ forces working to wipe out White Christianity the way we have always known it.' It will be a privilege to live under the authority of a compassionate White Christian government.' 'Non-whites who reside in America should be expected to conduct themselves according to Christian principles and must recognize that race mixing is definitely wrong and out of the question. The group's leaders, from Duke to current chief Thomas Robb, have been plagued by their own racist views, which inevitably shine through the smokescreen, and by the attacks of other Klan members who view their interest in mainstream media and politics as hypocritical and counterproductive.
