NB Hal is now in prison. His site
http://www.turnerradionetwork.com/
is being run by fellow travellers.
Was Hal an agent
provocateur? It is perfectly possible. The FBI is a criminal
organization with at least two massacres to their credit accompanied
by fraudulent investigations. He has gotten fatter since this
kerfuffle.
The
SPLC admits it: Hal Turner an FBI agent (wise whites figured it out
before)
Who babbled? It wasn't the FBI for starters. Treachery
suits them. An SPLC disinformation operation? Treachery is their
forte too.
Neo-Nazi
Threatmaker Accused of Working for FBI
QUOTE
New
Jersey radio host Hal
Turner is well known as one of the most vicious neo-Nazis in
America, a man who routinely suggests killing his enemies.
Railing
against President Bush, he told his audience last June that “a
well-placed bullet can solve a lot of problems.” He has written
that “we need to start SHOOTING AND KILLING Mexicans as they
cross the border” and argued that killing certain federal
judges “may be illegal, but it wouldn’t be wrong.”
In 2006, after he published an attack on New Jersey Supreme Court
justices that also included several of their home addresses, state
police massively beefed up security for the members of the court,
checking on one justice’s house more than 200 times.
Hal
Turner is one serious extremist. He may also be on the FBI payroll.
On
Jan. 1, unidentified hackers electronically confronted Turner in the
forum of his website for “The Hal Turner Show.” After a
heated exchange, they told Turner that they had successfully hacked
into his E-mails and found correspondence with an FBI agent who is
apparently Turner’s handler. Then they posted
an alleged July 7 E-mail to the agent in which Turner hands over
a message from someone who sent in a death threat against Sen. Russ
Feingold (D-Wisc.). “Once again,” Turner writes to his
handler, “my fierce rhetoric has served to flush out a possible
crazy.” In what is allegedly a portion of another E-mail,
Turner discusses the money he is paid.
On
Thursday, as the E-mail exchange was heatedly discussed on a major
neo-Nazi website, Turner suddenly announced he was quitting political
work. “I hereby separate from the ‘pro-White’
movement,” he said, adding that he was ending his radio show
immediately. “I will no longer involve myself in any aspect of
it.”
The
FBI declined comment. “Longstanding FBI policy prohibits
disclosing who may or may not provide information,” Agent
Richard Kolko of the agency’s press unit said. Reached in New
Jersey, Turner also declined all comment.
The
apparent revelation set off a torrent of criticism from experts in
criminology and the use of informants. “This is clearly over
the line,” said James Nolan, an associate sociology professor
at West Virginia University who is an expert in police procedure and
a former unit chief in the FBI’s Crime Analysis, Research and
Development Unit. “Informants may be involved in drugs, and you
overlook that because of the greater good. However, these are viable
threats — they could be carried out — that the FBI
clearly knows about. I want to see the FBI stop it.”
Informants,
of course, are commonly used by law enforcement agencies that have no
other way of proving suspected criminal activity. “These are
frightening groups whose members deserve to be investigated and
infiltrated,” said Jack Levin, a criminology professor and
expert on the radical right at Northeastern University. “My
concern is that Turner’s methods actually are more dangerous
and destructive than the evil they are seeking to cure. His
threatening messages may actually inspire neo-Nazis to up the ante,
to engage in even more destructive behaviour”
Turner,
45, has developed a reputation as one of the hardest-line racists on
the radical right since starting up his radio show seven years ago.
He has routinely ranted about such things as a “Portable Nigger
Lyncher” machine and slimed those he hates as “savage
Negro beasts,” “bull-dyke lesbians,” “faggots”
and worse.
But
it is his threats that are legendary.
In
2006, Turner told his audience to “clean your guns, have plenty
of ammunition … [and] then do what has to be done” to
undocumented workers. Around the same time, he suggested that half
the U.S. Congress “may have to be assassinated.” A year
earlier, he suggested “drawing up lists of yeshivas,” or
Jewish religious schools. He once started a website called
www.killtheenemy.com for the purpose of posting photos and names of
those who marched in favour of immigrant rights. Hearing that
anti-racist activist Floyd Cochran was visiting Newark, N.J., last
June, Turner said he had “arranged for a group of guys to
physically intercept” Cochran and added that Cochran would
likely “get such a beating that his next stop is going to be
University Hospital.” In a July letter, Turner wrote to the
Southern Poverty Law Enter, which publishes the Intelligence
Report:
“If you do not change your stance soon, you will face a wrath
of fury that you will never be able to defend yourself against. We
have the ability to reach out and touch someone.”
Last
July, Turner posted photographs of a pro-immigrant activist being
taken away by an ambulance outside Turner’s North Bergen home.
“Click the images below to see how I kicked the shit out of one
such douchebag,” he wrote.
Reaction
on the radical right to the apparent revelation was mixed, as
activists tried to figure out if Turner really was an informant. But
to many, there was little question it was Turner, based on the style
of writing in the E-mails. “It does sound like Hal,”
wrote “Varg” on the Vanguard News Network, a neo-Nazi
website. “I agree,” responded “Yankee Jim.”
“The Email definitely sounds like Hal.”
Turner’s
alleged E-mail to his FBI handler is also addressed to a detective
sergeant with the New Jersey State Police who trained with the FBI
Police Executive Fellowship Program in 2004. Interestingly, as long
ago as May 2006, Turner wrote of a visit paid to him by the two men,
saying they had come to his house to warn him that “Washington
has instructed us to close you down.” In that same posting on
his website, Turner described himself as the type to inspire “a
whole slew of potential Timothy McVeighs. I don’t make bombs,”
he added, “I make bombers.”
“It’s
become so routine,” Turner said of FBI visits in a 2005
interview with The
(Hackensack, N.J.) Record,
“they are like my private FBI agents.”

From
posted an alleged July 7
E-mail
Yes,
I am aware you no longer have the Blackberry and that you don't have
a server growing out of your ass.
I
made the "you need to write me back" remark because after
what I've done the past five days, some extremely powerful people
are looking to jam me up. I intend to make certain I cross all
the "T's" and dot all the "i's".
The
White House is livid over my interference with the President's
"legacy" immigration bill. My name was dropped in the
Presidents ear by many Senators who laid blame for changing their
vote on my act of "intimidation." I have
confirmation from more than one source that my name crossed shrub's
(Bush) lips several times about me being . . . . . ready for this .
. . . . an "insolent mother fucker who dared to
interfere."
Things
are going to get very serious for me over my single handedly
stopping the immigration bill. I can't let some asshole make an
illegal threat on my web site, then get jammed up for "not
reporting."
Thank
God some of the Marines at the White House feed me info. You'd
be shocked what they hear standing there opening doors all day.
