In September, NJJN’s Bob Wiener reported on the seemingly far-fetched claim by NJ racist Internet radio host Hal Turner that he was actually a government mole, “paid by the FBI to make violent anti-Jewish and anti-black statements.” His lawyer told Bob:

…between 2002 and 2007, the FBI paid Turner “cash in the tens of thousands of dollars.” The attorney insisted there is “tangible evidence” of their relationship. But he said such proof is “under seal by the courts because it is the file of an intelligence operative. The evidence is incontrovertible, and it is accurate, 100 percent accurate.”

Well, the Bergen Record dug a little deeper, got a look at those sealed documents, and sure enough:

…an investigation by The Record — based on government documents, e-mails, court records and almost 20 hours of jailhouse interviews with Turner — shows that federal authorities made frequent use of Turner in its battle against domestic terrorism.

As Turner took to his radio show and blog to say that those who opposed his extremist views deserve to die, he received thousands of dollars from the FBI to report on such groups as the Aryan Nations and the white supremacist National Alliance, and even a member of the Blue Eyed Devils skinhead punk band. Later, he was sent undercover to Brazil where he reported a plot to send non-military supplies to anti-American Iraqi resistance fighters. Sometimes he signed “Valhalla” on his FBI payment receipts instead of his own name.
