Inside the KKK plot to kill Barack Obama — and the FBI informant who stopped it


In September 2008, members of a Wayward, Fla., chapter of the Ku Klux Klan concocted an elaborate scheme to kill Barack Obama days before he was elected president.

They planned every detail, identifying the day, time, and location of the hit; obsessing over the senator’s motorcade alignments; securing .50-caliber rifles for the deed; and arranging for the assassins’ vehicles to be destroyed afterward.

There was only one scenario they hadn’t considered: that the intricate plan would be undone by one of their own.

Joe Moore had been initiated into the so-called Invisible Empire the year prior, impressing fellow Klansmen with an embellished military record and expert gunmanship.






Naturally, the honorably discharged army vet had been tapped to pull the trigger that would take out Obama.

Little did his “brothers” know he’d infiltrated America’s oldest hate group as a counterterrorism informant.

“I had to follow [my orders] and do whatever it took to prevent the assassination of Barack Obama,” Moore writes in his new memoir, “White Robes and Broken Badges” (Harper, out now). “Because I was the only one who could.”

Driven by a fervent patriotism and deep disdain for bullies, Moore conducted the FBI’s first-ever undercover operation targeting the KKK.

He attended cross burnings, witnessed savage acts of violence, and participated in eerie rituals — all while wearing a recording device.

Moore identified several cops and government officials who’d pledged allegiance to bigotry.

And by feeding misinformation to his Klan kinfolk, he potentially saved the life of the man who would become America’s first Black president.
