CORRECTION, 4:43 PM EST: @YourAnonNews came out with a statement noting that the names they had published were alleged, and an early release. As a result, the below will be verified on November 5th, according to Anonymous.
At midnight on November 2, Anonymous (@YourAnonNews) and TayGo (@taygogo) dropped a big one: the names, phone numbers, and email addresses (as well as professions) of more than 45 alleged Ku Klux Klan members. This came after a threat on the part of Anonymous to reveal the identities of more than a thousand KKK members. Dislodging and unraveling the KKK is something the public has been craving for decades.
The list includes Joe Wilson, the Congressman that heckled President Obama on the floor of the Congress.
UPDATE, 1:28 pm EST: The list also includes Knoxville, TN Mayor Madeline Anne Rogero, where 17.1% of Knoxville’s population is African American – and 5.78% are a religion the KKK are against, Norfolk, VA Mayor Paul D. Fraim, where 43% of the population is African American, and 14.5% there are a religion the KKK is against.
Not to mention the U.S. Senator Tom Tillis (R, NC).
Released on October 31st, the threat was made to drop the identities through a video that Anonymous released. The transcript for the video is below:
When people are faced with grave injustices, those cries do not go unheard.
Ku Klux Klan, We never stopped watching you. We know who you are. We know the dangerous extent to which you will go to cover your asses. Originally, we did not attack you for your beliefs as we fight for freedom of speech. We attacked you due to your threats to use lethal force in the Ferguson protests. We took this grudge between us rather seriously. You continue to threaten anons and others. We never said we would only strike once.The anons involved in this operation still believe you no longer particularly deserve the right to Freedom of Speech and Freedom to Assemble but that is not up to us. Let us make this especially clear: We are not oppressing you, Ku Klux Klan. We are not here to strip you of your Freedom of Speech. Anonymous will never strip you of any of your Constitutional rights. There is no “hate speech” exception to the Constitution. In a free society, we do have a duty to protect free thought, even when especially offensive. Your hateful ideas and words remain yours to keep. You are allowed to speak and in kind, we are allowed to respond. You are legally free to live and be any which way you choose to live and be. Keep in mind, it is not illegal nor oppressive to hurt your feelings. With that said – We are stripping you of your anonymity. Again. This is our protected speech.
After closely observing so many of you for so very long, we feel confident that applying transparency to your organizational cells is the right, just, appropriate and only course of action. You are abhorrent. Criminal. You are more than extremists. You are more than a hate group. You operate much more like terrorists and you should be recognized as such. You are terrorists that hide your identities beneath sheets and infiltrate society on every level. The privacy of the Ku Klux Klan no longer exists in cyberspace. You’ve had blood on your hands for nearly 200 years. You continue to inflict civil rights violations, commit violent crimes and solicit others to commit violent criminal acts. You seek to intimidate and/or eliminate those that are different from you and those that you dislike by any means possible. You seek to terrorize anyone and anything that you feel is a threat to your narrow view of the “American way of life”.
The last time we took your hoods off, you claimed to be misunderstood. Victimized. No. You are a damaged, dangerous, fragmented, splintered and amorphous collection of terroristic cells with a hate-based ideology and a well documented history of violence against the American public – assault, murder, terrorism. You play a deep, damaging and historically sinister and malevolent role in the United States. We understand you far too well. You made a clear and ever present enemy of Anonymous when you threatened the lives of protesters and the men and women representing Anonymous on the ground in Ferguson, Missouri in November of 2014. You continue to make threats to anons you believe you have identified, journalists, anyone in the public that speaks out against your behavior. Your threats and intimidation are unprovoked, unwanted and will not be tolerated. Enough is enough. You once told Anonymous that we awakened a sleeping giant within you. We are here to remind you once again – you summoned an unslayable dragon. Anonymous is an idea. This fight will go on as long as it has to.
The aim of this operation is digital. Another cyber war trist, nothing more. We are not violent. We will release, to the global public, the identities of up to 1000 klan members, Ghoul Squad affiliates and other close associates of various factions of the Ku Klux Klan across the Unites States.
And it’s finally happened. You can find the alleged names and personal information of KKK members right here, and the phone numbers of more than a thousand alleged KKK members right here.
The video from October 31st also adds:
To the government representing the people of the United States of America, the American public should not be subjected to victimization by hate groups through a hate groups protection by the United States constitution, without additional laws in place to protect potential victims of these violent organizations. More dialogue is needed to create working solutions.
To the citizens of the world, we stand with you always against oppression and injustice. Anonymous is many things. The anons participating in OperationKKK believe that it is a civic responsibility to be conscious and self-critical of our society in order to improve upon the shape of things to come.
To those that really disagree with us; sorry for the inconvenience, but not really. We are trying to change our world.
To the freedom fighters representing Anonymous in Ferguson, Missouri, stay the course.

We are Anonymous. We are a Legion. United as One, Divided by Zero. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Ku Klux Klan, why did you stop expecting us?
The revelation of KKK members finally switches the terror back on the terrorists that have wreaked hell upon those they deemed “un-American” – and it’s only time, now, before civilian justice is wrought. I, for one, will be waiting and watching on the sidelines. The internet waits for no one, and now that the masks have finally been ripped off, there’s finally a chance for justice to be served.
Thank you, Anonymous. From all those who have been terrorized by these terrorists, the Day of Reckoning has finally come.

And of course, we are to believe this agitprop from a girl who wears a hijab to signify her loyalty to the Religion of Deceivers. Funny how there was no mention of Robert Byrd or about KKK being predominantly Democrats. And really? Isn’t it a bit hypocritical for a Muslim to be pointing at the KKK?
Robert Byrd is dead.
Amongs all of the other things I want to call you right now, I’ll just stick with small minded idiot. Don’t insult this woman, she did nothing to you.
How have you evolved the ability to form complete sentences without even the most rudimentary brain?
no its not hypocritical for a Muslim to be pointing at the KKK. ilpalazzo lmaazooo.
and you would know the KKK is predominantly ‘democrats” HOW?
The article is simply reporting the web release this “anonymous” group made about reporting the identities found in the kkk hack. It’s all over the internet, so it’d be hard to not corroborate the info… Or was your intent more geared towards bashing the author, her religion and the democratic party?
That’s a rhetorical question, BTW. Lol I have no love lost for any of those things, so ain’t gonna judge.. Just sayin
Which.religions is the.KKK opposed to if they have had jewish members
The KKK was predominantly democrats, but that was back when the Democratic party was largely conservative. The name of the party means nothing, the historical movement of those who believe a certain way to the Republican party and vice versa is what matters. If you lived then, you’d have been a Democrat, and I a Republican. Conservatives vs liberals, idiots vs the educated, hate vs love, greed vs life- not Democrat vs Republican.
