Records show feds used ultra-right radio host for years Sunday, November 29, 2009 Last updated: Sunday November 29, 2009, 9:21 AM BY MIKE KELLY AND PETER J. SAMPSON The Record STAFF WRITERS They called him "Valhalla." But it was more than a nickname. For more than five years, Hal Turner of North Bergen lived a double life. The public knew him as an ultra-right-wing radio talk show host and Internet blogger with an audience of neo-Nazis and white supremacists attracted to his scorched-earth racism and bare-knuckles bashing of public figures. But to the FBI, and its expanding domestic counter-terror intelligence operations in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, Turner was "Valhalla" — his code name as an informant who spied on his own controversial followers. Forget the details but there was a propagandist for Nazi Germany who turned out to be an English agent. Tehre was some debate as to whether he did more damage in his role as a Nazi than his work for the English made up for. In the Vietnam war days, it was not uncommon for someone to stand up at a public meeting and advocate violence and have whispers go through the crowd that this was a government plant. i'm not sure how many (if any) were really government plants and how many were just whack. I'm guessing some of both. Mick |
