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.
