The levels of Page, Squire, and Knight do not signify rank. These are educational levels on the way to becoming a Knight which is a full member of The Knights. Once a year at Congress we have a naturalization or “graduation” ceremony for those who have become full members. Klansman, Page, and Squire are all a part of the application process to becoming a full member or Knight.
The Knights Party is focused on the education of its members and therefore the various levels of learning are intended to provide an individual, new to The Knights, with a solid base upon which to further their goal of white Christian revival.
The Knights is unique in the racialist movement due to its slow, steadfast, approach to organizing. Before anyone can become a Knight, they must attain certain levels or ranks of knowledge. This does not refer to secret words, secret phrases, or secret beliefs – that may be fine for Klan re-enactors – but we are working to build a real and solid movement to speak on behalf of white Christian America. And while our focus here is in America, we nonetheless support white Christian government in our white historic homelands and so welcome those from around the world who share a love for a common people and common faith with us here in the states.
We want to educate our people for a lifetime of activism. Each one of us, while not a representative for the media, must always consider ourselves representatives to those we know and meet; friends and family. Many people are very knowledgeable about certain issues – we want you to be well grounded in a number of subjects. We want you to be able to answer questions with sincerity and the facts. Of course, we aren’t going to try to teach you everything. You are an intelligent person who can make up your own mind and study the issues. As we said, we want to give you the basics.
*Occasionally, someone may feel that they are already a well educated person and that this is beneath them. We want to let you know that we are not trying to belittle anyone. If you are going to be a part of The Knights, you must know our position on things – it might not always be what you would think. Professionals are always asked to be involved in some sort of continuing education – so don’t feel slighted because you are required to do “reports” before you can become a Knight.
You will be asked to listen to 3 CD’s and read 3 books. After you have listened to the tapes by Pastor Robb and Mrs. Pendergraft you will need to write a two page report on each tape. The report should be a summary of what you learned as well as your own thoughts on the subject. When you order the tapes – if you don’t already have “Welcome to The Knights” orientation video – we will send that to you also. After you receive the CD’s, you will be given 3 months to complete the reports and return them to HQ. You can have longer, but we would like you to keep a steady momentum after you sign up.
Upon completion of the CD reports you will be awarded with the rank of PAGE and 6 months probation will start during which time you will work on the book reports and take a written exam.
After you have received the rank of PAGE, you will work toward the rank or level of SQUIRE. This will require you reading 3 small books selected for you by HQ. You will be asked to write/type a 3 page report on each book and return it to HQ within 3 months of receiving the books. Again, as with the CD’s you can have longer, but upon signing up with The Knights and beginning the application process we would like you to become a full member within one year’s time.
Upon completion of the Book reports you will be awarded with the rank or level of SQUIRE.
When you receive your certificate recognizing you as a SQUIRE, along with it will be an exam for Knighthood. There are three different exams and they are selected at random. You will rely upon things you learned in the tapes, books, handbook (given to you when you complete the tape reports) and general knowledge of The Knights. etc. There is no time limit to finish the exam.
If you pass the exam with an 80% or better score, we will send you a Knighthood agreement, and Knighthood oath to look over, sign, and return. Upon receipt of these things, The Knights Party National Headquarters will award you the full membership status of Knight.
At this time, then you can receive The Handbook for Knights, order a plaque – for a small donation, and apply for recruiter status if you wish. As a Knight you can qualify to earn service awards and we encourage you to be above average in your level of activity. You can also begin serving as a contact for other new associates who have started the application process and are working to become Knights.
As always, it doesn’t matter how long ago you signed up with The Knights. If you would like to continue the application process and become a full member don’t hesitate in contacting us at theknights@southshore.com or you can contact our Nat’l Membership Coord. David Long at 870-426-2345
