•Knights of the Ku Klux Klan
In 1974 David Duke reinvented the Ku Klux Klan shortly after graduating LSU, Duke covered his swastika with a Klan robe and founded the Louisiana-based Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. He first came to broad public attention during this time: the young Imperial Wizard successfully marketed himself in the mid-1970s as a new brand of Klansman – well-groomed, engaged, professional: the Klan leader as a corporate manager. And as a progressive: for the first time in the group’s history, women were accepted as equal members and Catholics were encouraged to apply for membership.
NAAWP v. NAACP
In 1978, he left the Klan and two years later formed the National Association for the Advancement of White People (NAAWP). In 1987, he conducted a direct-mail appeal using the identity and mailing-list of the Forsyth County Defense League, in Georgia, without permission, which League officials described as a fund-raising "scam" (detailed in The Rise of David Duke by Tyler Bridges).
On May 20, 2004 the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People became outraged when it discovered that David Duke had chosen New Orleans to host his International NAAWP Conference during the NAACP's Big Easy Rally to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education

David Duke's Commentary & Publications
•"My Awakening"
Duke's first book was published under the title "My Awakening" drawing "parallels" to Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf. "My Awakening" details Duke's reasoning behind racial segregation along with various other philosophies related to Duke's perspective he refers to as the "truth" about peoples of African descent, Jews, homosexuals, immigrants, and women.
•"Jewish Supremacism"
In 2000 David Duke published in Russia his latest controversial book: Jewish Supremacism: My Awakening on the Jewish Question. While the book's title leads one to believe it is a continuation of his first autobiographical work, the book instead purports to be a collection of historical documents that detail religious beliefs of Jewish conspiracies since antiquity. The book is dedicated to Israel Shahak, a controversial writer, who was an ardent critic of what he saw as supremacist religious teachings in modern Jewish culture. Duke denies the book is motivated by anti-Semitism. [citation needed]
•Stormfront.org
In 1995, Don Black (nationalist) and Chloe Hardin, Duke's Ex-Wife, began a small bulletin board service or BBS by the name Stormfront. Today, Stormfront has become the premier online forum for White Supremacy and White Nationalism. Don Black's Stormfront and David Duke's personal website are in alliance, frequently distribute the same information among sites. David Duke has worked with Don Black (nationalist) on numerous projects including Operation Red Dog in 1980.
•Davidduke.com
On February 5, 2002, Duke claimed on his Internet radio show that Ariel Sharon was "the world's worst terrorist" and that Mossad was involved in the 9/11 attacks. The broadcast claimed that Zionists were behind the 9/11 in order to reduce sympathy for Muslim nations in the West, and claimed that the number of Israelis killed in the attack was lower than it would be under normal circumstances, citing early assessments by The Jerusalem Post and "the legendary involvement of Israeli nationals in businesses at the World Trade Center". According to Duke, this indicated that Israeli security services had prior knowledge of the attack. This conspiracy theory lacks substantial factual support and is widely disputed by the American public.
•Public Address in Damascus
On November 24, 2005, Duke visited Syria, addressing a rally, which was broadcast on Syrian television, and later giving an interview. During the rally, he referred to Israel as a "war-mongering country", adding that "Washington, New York and London and many other capitals of the world" are "occupied by the Zionists."
After speaking to the Syrian people, Duke was interviewed where he remarked that Israel "makes the Nazi state look very, very moderate." Syrian parliament member Muhammad Habash replied that Duke’s visit gave Syrians a "new and very positive view of the average American."
•Duke and the Media
Since 2005 Duke has appeared three times on "Current Issues," a Lafayette, Louisiana–based television show hosted and produced by Palestinian-American Hesham Tillawi, which has recently been picked up by Bridges TV. Tillawi afforded Duke the opportunity to discourse at length about his beliefs about 'Jewish supremacism'. On the show in October 2005, Duke also added that Jews are responsible for undermining the morality of America and are attempting to "wash the world in blood."
•Duke finds support from unlikely sources
After John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt's paper on The Israel Lobby appeared in March 2006, David Duke praised the paper in a number of articles on his website, on his March 18 Live Web Radio Broadcast, and on MSNBC's March 21 Scarborough Country program. According to the New York Sun, Duke said in an email, "It is quite satisfying to see a body in the premier American University essentially come out and validate every major point I have been making since even before the war even started." Duke added that "the task before us is to wrest control of America's foreign policy and critical junctures of media from the Jewish extremist Neocons that seek to lead us into what they expectantly call World War IV."
Stephen Walt responded,
"I have always found Mr. Duke's views reprehensible,
and I am sorry he sees this article as consistent with
his view of the world."
