Thread Name: what do the KKK sing?
Subject: RE: what do the KKK sing?
Any reasonably senior fascist organizer in the US will know about the groups I mentioned.

All these groups are in each other's pockets. David Duke has met with all the British fascist leaders of the past generation. All of whom have met with people like Le Pen and the Vlaams Blok leaders. Peple who subsequently went on to form the BNP provided a safehouse for Roberto Fiore when he was on the run for the Bologna station bombing. David Irving is British but his books are standard reading for US Nazis - the US reciprocated by providing our lot with with the Turner Diaries as bedtime reading.

Take a look at the last few paragraphs of this biography:

William Pierce

Or the US links described in this history of British fascism:

"Searchlight" on British fascism in the 80s
"Searchlight" on British fascism in the 90s

Searchlight could have described the attendees at the regular international fascist gatherings at Malmo in Sweden and in Belgium (Ostend? I forget) - they've covered them in the magazine over the years. Some way short of the Nuremberg rallies but a lot more than a committee meeting.

For a while, an American Nazi website hosted in Colorado had a grad student at Edinburgh University (Nils O. Monaghan) as its its webmaster (the university did exactly nothing about it after I told them). Monaghan had computer accounts in South Africa as well as some sort of involvement with British fascist parties. Links like that can only have intensified with better internet connectivity.

The most likely musical target for fascist exploitation in the US is probably country music. You can bet some American fascist is watching to see how the BNP's initiative pans out before trying to move in on it.
