Friends,

I am in the Bay Area and rocking with the San Francisco Bay View
newspaper. But something quite insidious is happening and I think
you should know immediately how it involves my friends and me.

Hot on the heels of my learning that the Georgia Green Party might
have been described by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist
organiztion," it has just now come to my attention that a
"journalist" who suggested that I be lynched was actually being
paid by our own government to say that. Now, when I reported it to
the FBI, how in the world was I to know that he was at that time on
the FBI's payroll? Interesting that charges stem from his comments
against Connecticut lawmakers and Illinois judges, but not from the
threat made against me, a sitting Member of Congress at the time!
I wonder why. To whom can I or any other innocent citizen turn
when the government, itself, is the instigator?

John Judge, my Congressional staffer, is the one who reported the
threat. Here is what John just wrote, along with the article that
reports that Turner was on the FBI payroll at the time the threat
was made against me, according to Turner's attorney. See the green
highlights below:

John Judge wrote:

This is the guy who announced a program topic suggesting that
Cynthia McKinney be lynched on her way to the polls to vote in 2006
and published her campaign office address on the website. He asked
how she would look swinging at the end of a rope and what message
it would send to other "uppity" Blacks. I called NJ Homeland
Security and FBI at the time sincee related to it as a death
threat. The FBI agent I spoke to said "We know all about Mr.
Turner". Looks like they did. Now they say he was trained as an
agent provocateur by the FBI to get others to participate in
illegal acts. As Jim Garrison says in the movie JFK after
interviewing Clay Shaw, "I think we got one". Here is an excerpt _
JJ

"Prosecutors have acknowledged that Turner was an informant who
spied on radical right-wing organizations, but the defense has said
Turner was not working for the FBI when he allegedly made threats
against Connecticut legislators and wrote that three federal judges
in Illinois deserved to die.

"*But if you compare anything that he did say when he was
operating, there was no difference. No difference whatsoever,*"
Orozco said."

[Wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal_Turner]

Harold Charles "Hal" Turner is an American white nationalist and
white supremacist from North Bergen, New Jersey. He was arrested in
June 2009 over alleged threats to politicians, and is currently
jailed without bail. Prior to Turner's arrest his program, The Hal
Turner Show, was a webcast from his home once a week, and it
depended on listener donations.

Turner promotes antisemitism (including the rounding up and killing
of Jews)[1], he opposes the existence of the state of Israel[1] and
he denies the Holocaust.[2]

According to the Associated Press Hal Turner has exposed through
his attorney that he worked for the FBI from 2002 to 2007 as an
"agent provocateur" and "his job was basically to publish
information which would cause other parties to act in a manner
which would lead to their arrest" [3]

Attorney: FBI trained NJ blogger to incite others
By KATIE NELSON (AP) – 1 day ago

HARTFORD, Conn. — A New Jersey blogger facing charges in two states
for allegedly making threats against lawmakers and judges was
trained by the FBI on how to be deliberately provocative, his
attorney said Tuesday.

Hal Turner worked for the FBI from 2002 to 2007 as an "agent
provocateur" and was taught by the agency "what he could say that
wouldn't be crossing the line," defense attorney Michael Orozco
said.

"His job was basically to publish information which would cause
other parties to act in a manner which would lead to their arrest,"
Orozco said.

Prosecutors have acknowledged that Turner was an informant who
spied on radical right-wing organizations, but the defense has said
Turner was not working for the FBI when he allegedly made threats
against Connecticut legislators and wrote that three federal judges
in Illinois deserved to die.

"But if you compare anything that he did say when he was operating,
there was no difference. No difference whatsoever," Orozco said.

Special Agent Ross Rice, a spokesman for the FBI in Chicago, said
he would not comment on or even confirm Turner's relationship with
the FBI.

Orozco spoke to reporters after a court hearing in Hartford on
Tuesday. Turner, 47, of North Bergen, N.J., did not appear, because
he is in federal custody in Illinois. His arraignment on the
Connecticut charges was rescheduled to Oct. 19.

In June, Turner urged his readers to "take up arms" against
Connecticut lawmakers and suggested government officials should
"obey the Constitution or die," because he was angry over
legislation — later withdrawn — that would have given lay members
of Roman Catholic churches more control over their parish's
finances.

He wrote in Internet postings the same month that the Illinois
federal appeals judges "deserve to be killed" because they issued a
ruling that upheld ordinances in Chicago and suburban Oak Park
banning handguns. He included their photos and the room numbers of
their chambers at the courthouse.

Orozco officially joined Turner's defense team in the Connecticut
case on Tuesday, with approval from Superior Court Judge David
Gold. Orozco said his Newark, N.J.-based firm has been representing
Turner for the past five years, including during his FBI informant
years.

Turner's Connecticut attorney, Matthew R. Potter, said it's too
early to tell which trial will move forward first. Orozco said he
plans First Amendment defenses in both cases.

Randall Samborn, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in
Chicago, said the office would not comment on Orozco's statements.
