Okay. Now we are pissed. We are not just pissed because it happened, but because we didn't pay attention as the guy who presumably allowed it to happen became New Jersey's next governor. You know all those threats that White Supremacist Radio host hal Turner leveled at damn near everyone he had an issue with, including us - repeatedly? You know how much of a task it has been to get him prosecuted for any of it? And do you know how much talk there has been from Turner about how he was a federal informant all this time? Well, it is all coming out. The Bergen Record wrote about it and now the Associated Press picked it up. After going through government documents, court records, emails, and interviews with Turner while in jail it is all confirmed. The FBI paid Turner, even coached him to make all the racist and vile threats we have been dealing with all these years. According to the report, we are talking thousands of dollars going to Turner for that rally in Kingston, NY where he threatened a woman organizing against it and encouraged people to come to her home - while DLJ was there, threatening the entire city of Kingston if they didn't prosecute a black student who was in a fight with a white student on a hate crime charge, threatening the Jena Six, threatening the black population of Kalamazoo, Michigan, attempting to cause a disruption at an event we held in Newark by threatening one of our speakers, and a whole host of other gems that would have us here forever running down. What makes this so bad is who might be responsible for all of this. The federal prosecutor at the time was Chris Christie, who is currently the Governor-elect of the State of New Jersey. According to Turner, Christie stated in a letter he would not prosecute Turner for any of this, so Turner's lawer has subpoenaed the Gov.-elect and is currently waiting for a reply that he may never see. Christie is pleading the fifth, and we thing he has a good reason to. Now those who are supporters of the SHAC 7 - a group of animal rights activists who have served or is serving jail time for monitoring the fine folks over at Huntington Life Sciences who like to torture animals for the sake of coming up with the latest cosmetics - might want to follow this case because Christie's office prosecuted the SHAC 7, accusing them of doing the SAME DAMN THING THEY PAID TURNER TO DO! Christie is quoted saying about the SHAC 7: "We will not stand by and let any group or individuals violate federal law through violence and intimidation, no matter what cause they profess to advocate for in the process." Well, it looks like that's exactly what he did, and we all need to get the complete lowdown on this and find out what is real and what is not. If Christie did in fact do this, he will have a lot, a hell of a lot to answer for. Turner's trial begins Tuesday, Dec. 1 at the Brooklyn Federal Courthouse. We all need to be there and directions accompany this story. Somewhere, Hal Turner's old buddy Sean Hannity is happy as hell the heat is off him - a least for a little while!

TRENTON, N.J. — A New Jersey blogger about to stand trial on charges he made death threats against federal judges apparently was paid by the FBI in its battle against domestic terrorism, according to a published report.

The Record of Bergen County reported Sunday that Hal Turner received thousands of dollars from the FBI to report on neo-Nazis and white supremacist groups and was sent undercover to Brazil.

Turner also claims the FBI coached him to make racist, anti-Semitic and other threatening statements on his radio show, but the newspaper also found many federal officials were concerned that his audience might follow up on his violence rhetoric.

The newspaper reviewed numerous government documents, e-mails, court records and almost 20 hours of jailhouse interviews with Turner.

He goes on trial Tuesday in New York, accused of making death threats against three Chicago-based federal appeals judges after saying in Internet postings in June the judges "deserve to be killed" because they had refused to overturn handgun bans in Chicago and suburban Oak Park.

The postings included the photos and work addresses of the judges — Richard Posner, Frank Easterbrook, and William Bauer — along with a picture of the Dirksen Federal Courthouse in downtown Chicago and notations indicating the placement of "anti-truck bomb barriers."

Turner's FBI connections began in 2003 with the Newark-based Joint Terrorism Task Force and continued on and off until this year, according to the newspaper. He claims his postings and other inflammatory statements were part of an undercover operation to ferret out violent left-wing radicals.

His lawyer, Michael Orozco, has subpoenaed Chris Christie, the former U.S. Attorney for New Jersey and the state's governor-elect, to testify on Turner's behalf.

In an affidavit filed with the subpoena, Orozco says Christie knew of Turner's activities between 2002 and 2008 while Christie held his federal post. Orozco says Christie issued a letter saying he would not prosecute Turner for his statements.

It was not known whether Christie would be called to testify.

He said last week that he had not yet seen the subpoena, but said "any advice I gave as U.S. attorney regarding prosecutions is something I am not going to talk about publicly."

Federal prosecutors and FBI officials declined comment on Turner's claims.

"We do not comment on matters before the courts, and will not address Mr. Turner's allegations in the press," said Weysan Dun, who runs the FBI's Newark field office.

Turner said he feels double-crossed by the bureau after his June arrest.

But other documents show federal agents growing more anxious about his extremist views while valuing his ties to right-wing hate groups, the newspaper said. It noted one memo that stated Turner "has proven highly reliable and is in a unique position to provide vital information on multiple subversive domestic organizations."

In a separate case, Turner was charged with "inciting injury to persons" for urging blog readers to "take up arms" against Connecticut lawmakers who proposed legislation to give Roman Catholic lay members more control over parish finances.
