https://www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/right-wing-outlets-are-pushing-unfounded-conspiracy-theory-about-collapsed-cryptocurrency

After the cryptocurrency exchange FTX filed for bankruptcy protection on November 11, right-wing outlets spread a baseless conspiracy theory drummed up by a white supremacist radio host claiming that FTX’s downfall was related to CEO Sam Bankman-Fried’s donations to the Democratic Party and FTX’s role in supporting relief efforts in Ukraine.

Multiple outlets have confirmed that Bankman-Fried had made a number of high-dollar personal contributions to Democratic campaigns during the 2022 midterm elections. However, there is currently no evidence that FTX was laundering taxpayer money or private funds through Ukraine and into Democratic campaigns. A Ukrainian official has also refuted the conspiracy theory, calling it “nonsense.”

The conspiracy theory appears to have originated from white supremacist Hal Turner on November 11, when Turner published a post to his radio show's website. The post asserted without evidence that “tens-of-billions in American ‘Military Aid’ to Ukraine” was actually invested into FTX by the Ukrainian government, and then reinvested into Democratic Party campaigns. In the post, Turner also claimed that “to some observers,” this appears to be "pure, criminal, money-laundering, and a criminal conspiracy to violate campaign finance laws.”

A Twitter thread that linked to Turner’s content and was retweeted thousands of times was then posted on November 11.The same unsubstantiated theory was subsequently amplified by embattled Twitter CEO Elon Musk, who posted content that seemed to originate from 4chan to support this theory.

Following Musk’s promotion, the FTX conspiracy theory rapidly gained traction with right-wing figures and online outlets. Musk has historically used his personal Twitter account to bring attention to right-wing conspiracy theories and those amplifying them, recently tweeting and then deleting a link to a website espousing the unhinged theory about the attempted assassination of Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and subsequent assault of her husband. Right-wing figures and online outlets were quick to amplify that falsehood as well.

Here are some of the conservative media outlets that spread the baseless conspiracy theory amid the fallout of FTX’s bankruptcy.

Fox News walked its viewers through the conspiracy theory without concern for lack of evidence

Fox News hosts wasted no time in wildly speculating about FTX's collapse, seeming to take the underlying premise that Bankman-Fried and the Ukrainian government were in cahoots as a given despite the lack of evidence.

Fox host Jesse Watters discussed the unfounded conspiracy theory as fact, baselessly stating that Ukraine invested in FTX to “reward their favorite mega donor,” and later claimed that FTX collected money from Ukraine and “plowed it right back into the Democratic Party.” He later added, “I don’t know if this is money laundering or war profiteering — I don’t even know, but it needs to be investigated."[vid]

While guest-hostingTucker Carlson Tonight,former U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) claimed that there was “speculation that the U.S. government might have sent taxpayer money to Ukraine which then ended up at FTX and ultimately to Democrats.” Gabbard’s guest, New York Post columnist Miranda Devine, further speculated by bizarrely claiming that Bankman-Fried was “in the bosom of the left” before asking why the U.S. government is spending so much money on Ukraine and why Ukraine was linked to FTX.

Fox & Friends host Ainsley Earhardt, along with Fox and Friends Weekend host Will Cain, rejected Ukrainian officials’ denial of the theory, with Cain stating that “denial is not proof” that FTX wasn’t being used as a slush fund. He later stated that “the Ukrainian angle” in the story was “not a conspiracy” but still an “important question to ask.”

Right-wing media outlets and figures spread the theory online

Right-wing media outlets and figures began to allege that Democrats laundered Ukrainian aid into donations through FTX on November 12, with many sharing these allegations on Twitter and Facebook.

A white nationalist created a hoax about gun confiscation that is leading to calls for violence on social media and message boards

Special PROGRAMS

GUNS & PUBLIC SAFETY

WRITTEN BY ALEX KAPLAN

PUBLISHED 12/18/19 10:17 AM EST

A noted white nationalist fabricated a claim about guns and Virginia’s governor that has spread in the past week throughout social media and on far-right message boards. The hoax has drawn tens of thousands of engagements and views, and some have issued calls to violence in response.

Following the Democratic takeover of the Virginia state legislature in November’s elections, the state’s Democratic governor, Ralph Northam, said he would reintroduce multiple gun safety bills. In response, multiple counties in the state declared themselves “Second Amendment sanctuaries,” adopting largely symbolic resolutions that say they will not enforce what they deem to be unconstitutional gun laws.

On December 13, Rep. Donald McEachin (D-VA) suggested that Northam use the state’s National Guard to enforce the bills if they become law.That same day, the Twitter account for the Virginia National Guard tweeted that it had “not received any requests from the Governor, or anyone on his staff, about serving in a law enforcement role related to any proposed legislation” and encouraging residents to “be patient while we allow our elected officials to work through the legislative process.” Northam himself a day earlier had said that there would be “consequences” if localities did not enforce the law, but he said only that he would “cross that bridge if and when we get to it.”

Also on December 13, Hal Turner, a white nationalist radio host who has a history of spreading false claims and hoaxes, posted on his website that Northam had “allegedly ordered a small cadre of staffers to begin the process for determining how to cut off electricity, telephones/ FAXES, Cellular phones AND DATA, as well as the Internet, in areas where he plans to send Virginia National Guard Troops to forcibly seize guns when the Democrat legislature convenes in January.” Turner further claimed that the order “was allegedly given to a very small and trusted group of staffers, some of whom it turns out, do not agree (at all) with this idea.”

Hal Turner Virginia hoax

Over the next few days, the hoax spread on multiple Twitter accounts, Facebook pages, Instagram accounts, and multiple YouTube channels, some of which are proponents of the QAnon conspiracy theory.Users claimed Northam’s supposed response was “why the founding fathers put in the 2nd amendment,” calling for “patriots around the country” to “go after [these] anti-gunners with extreme prejudice,” and calling for “troops [to] remove this traitor from his position.” According to the tracking tool BuzzSumo, posts linking to the hoax article received more than 25,000 engagements on Facebook and Twitter combined.

Additionally, the hoax circulated throughout multiple message boards, including pro-gun forum AR15.com, where a user asked if there was “any truth” to the hoax and users said it could cause a “civil war.” Another message board that saw traffic on the hoax was the backup site for thesubreddit “r/The_Donald,” where users called the “new rumor” a reason to “plan, act, purchase, train appropriately” and an “absolute necessary step to guarantee full scale revolution in the state ending in executions for all government officials.”

The Donald subreddit backup site Virginia hoax

The hoax was also repeatedly mentioned on 4chan’s “/pol/” message board, where multiple users posted images of the headline or the text of Turner’s article and responded by writing that they were “glad to be fighting age” and urging others to “take care of this faggot” because “americans killed a president for much less.”

4chan Virginia hoax1]

By December 17,multiple white nationalist channels on Telegramwere also posting the hoax, via text from Turner’s site or from another radio host and QAnon supporter, John B. Wells, who had cited Turner and posted the same text on his site on December 15. One of those Telegram channels was that of Paul Nehlen, a former congressional candidate who ran against former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and who has openly expressed white nationalist views and issued calls to violence.

Turner no longer part of 'Right Perspective'Jul 21, 2009 10:32 AM

Hello, I am writing about a libelous statement written in your (MyAuburn posting), "Memo to The Right" (http://my.auburnjournal.com/detail/117814.html) by "Skeptic".

The statement in question is, "[Hal] Turner hosts his own right-wing Internet radio show called "The Right Perspective.""

I am the producer of that talk radio show, The Right Perspective, and am telling you that Hal Turner has not been a part of this show since 2000, when he left The Right Perspective to pursue his own career in talk radio. Our show has not had any association with him since he left. At the time he was a member of The Right Perspective, Hal Turner did not have or voice the overtly racist- and anti-Semitic opinions he has become infamous for. Neither I, nor the current hosts of The Right Perspective, Frank from Queens and John of Staten Island, share his views.

I wish for you to write a correction of your statement and explain that Hal Turner has not been a part of our show since 2000, and we do not endorse his world view.

Thank you.

About Hal Turner

At the same time, he worked as an informant for the FBI between 2003 and 2007, providing information on white supremacist groups for the same government he frequently railed against. On his radio show, Turner has ranted about "bull-dyke lesbians," "savage Negro beasts," "faggots," and even joked about a "portable nigger lyncher" machine. He has a nasty history of threatening political enemies, saying that they deserve to be killed and posting their addresses online. That practice caught up to him in August 2010, when he was convicted of threatening to assault and murder three federal judges. Jurors' confusion about his FBI role seems to have been behind two earlier mistrials.

In His Own Words

"We Christians would do well to adopt the Muslim strategy. When someone sues to remove the Ten Commandments from a public area, attack, beat and maybe even KILL them. When a federal appeals court rules that Christian Nativity Scenes in New York Schools can be banned while Jew Menorrah's [sic] a[nd] Muslim Crescents can remain in the same schools, the Judges on that court should be attacked, beaten and if necessary, KILLED."

"I ask the People of the State of Nevada to travel to Senator [Harry] Reid's home and make clear to him the price of betraying our sovereign Will. I ask the People of Nevada to send Senator Reid the kind of message he cannot mistake. … Don't think I'm talking out of my ass either. The last time I focused on a federal official like this, it was US District Judge Joan Humphrey-Lefkow of Chicago. I commented on my show that one of her rulings made her worthy of being killed. Some time later, someone broke into her home and slaughtered her mother and husband."

"In their obsessive effort to prove a ‘holocaust' (which did not occur) the Jews may have finally stepped on their own dicks. When prosecutors are unable to provide forensic evidence proving these alleged victims were even murdered and Demjanjuk walks away a free man, it will be one more nail in the coffin of the alleged Holocaust."

Criminal History

Turner was arrested for drug possession in 1988. At the time, he reportedly was addicted to cocaine.

On June 3, 2009, Turner was arrested and charged with inciting injury to persons or property. In a blog post, he had asked Connecticut Catholics to "take up arms" against two lawmakers and an employee of the Office of State Ethics. Turner also threatened to release the home addresses of these three men. A jury acquitted Turner of the charges in September 2011.

On June 24, 2009, Turner was charged with threatening to assault and murder three federal judges. He had listed their work addresses and photos on his blog, writing, "These Judges deserve to be killed." His first two trials ended in mistrials, but he was found guilty on Aug. 13, 2010. Turner was sentenced in December 2010 to 25 months in prison.

Background

Hal Turner was born March 15, 1962, in Jersey City. He joined the Marines and was honorably discharged after 10 months. He later worked as a sales manager for a moving company and sold commercial property. Turner served on the Hudson County Republican Committee from 1991 to 1993. He was also the North Jersey campaign coordinator for white nationalist and television commentator Pat Buchanan's presidential campaign in 1992.

Turner came to public attention as a frequent caller to the radio program of racist talk show host Bob Grant. He identified himself as "Hal from North Bergen," and gave longwinded and sometimes racist diatribes. In 1994, Grant got into trouble for racist comments he had made on his show, including referring to Haitian refugees as "subhuman infiltrators." But when the NAACP and other civil rights groups called for his removal, Turner jumped to his defense, organizing a pro-Grant rally in Trenton, N.J. It was attended by members of the Nationalist Movement, a white supremacist group, among others.

In 1997, Turner managed the New Jersey gubernatorial campaign of Libertarian Party candidate Murray Sabrin. Three years later, in 2000, Turner made his own run in the Republican primary for the U.S. House of Representatives in New Jersey's 13th district. He finished last among the three candidates.

Around this time, Turner became a founding talk show host of the right-wing radio program "The Right Perspective." He left a short time later due to what he described as "artistic differences." But by 2002, he had bought a time slot for a solo show on shortwave radio station WBCQ. He hosted that until March 22, 2004, when he decided to cancel it, citing Jewish ownership of the station. By way of explanation, he wrote on his website: "AFTER SEEING ‘THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST' THERE IS NO WAY I CAN CONTINUE TO DO BUSINESS WITH A JEW." He still continued to host an online talk show from a studio in his house.

In July 2002, Turner spoke at the Aryan Nations World Congress, national white supremacist gathering held that year in Ulysses, Penn. (The Aryan Nations is a neo-Nazi hate group that practices the Christian Identity theology. Adherents of the variety of Christian Identity practiced at Aryan Nations believe that Jews are literally descended from Satan, that whites are the real "chosen people" of the Bible, and that people of color do not have souls. ) At the conference, Turner called for unity among white supremacists.

Turner began working as an FBI informant in June 2003 for reasons that remain unclear to this day. Seen as a hero to some in the white supremacist world, Turner had a rapport with right-wing extremists that was seen as valuable to the intelligence agency (though when his FBI employment became public, many experts in police procedure harshly criticized the agency's use of a man who seemed to promote more violence and criminality than he prevented). He reportedly informed the FBI about a potential Aryan Nations chapter in New Jersey in 2004, and also provided information on the neo-Nazi National Alliance and other white supremacist groups.

The FBI sent Turner to Brazil in 2005, apparently because a rich white supremacist who lived in that country was considering making a million-dollar donation to American white supremacist groups. Turner traveled with National Alliance members to meet with him. While there, he reportedly learned of a plan by the British Arab Society to send up to $10 million in supplies to anti-American forces in Iraq. Turner was well paid for his work. A July 2005 FBI memo showed that in the previous fiscal year, Turner had been paid $10,365 for his work. Turner would later claim in court testimony that he was paid more than $100,000 during his tenure as an FBI informant.

In October 2005, a black student at Kingston High School in New York assaulted a white student from the same school. Turner was convinced that the incident was racially motivated. He organized a demonstration for Nov. 19, 2005 in Kingston that he called the "Rally Against Violence," and invited a Ku Klux Klan group and other white supremacists. Fifty protesters and 100 counter-protesters showed up, but both groups were outnumbered by approximately 200 police officers. At the rally, Turner called for the black student to be charged with a hate crime. He threatened to return multiple times and bring the city "to its economic knees" if his demands were not met. The rally cost the city approximately $80,000 in police overtime and related security costs.

On Dec. 10, 2005, Turner marched in a rally planned by the neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement. The group's members were dressed in Nazi uniforms including brown stormtrooper outfits, black boots, and Nazi regalia. Speaking at the rally, Turner threatened a lynching campaign targeting blacks and Hispanics. "White people have a very nasty version of street justice," he said. "If these crime problems are not settled by the black and Hispanic communities, rest assured we will get our ropes and we will solve them for you."

On June 4, 2007, Turner claimed on his website that the Holocaust had never happened. He wrote, "Millions of dollars have been paid out to ‘holocaust survivors' and their descendants for something that DID NOT HAPPEN." In the post, Turner called for the criminal prosecution of Jewish Holocaust survivors who had sued for reparations.

Turner organized the "Rally Against Black Gang Terrorism" in Kalamazoo, Mich., on Aug. 4, 2007, attended by a number of prominent white supremacist speakers. Christian Identity leader James Wickstrom used the opportunity to try to unite blacks and whites against their supposed common enemy: the Jews. For his part, Turner closed the rally on a threatening note, saying: "It is very rare in America today that a white man will stand in public and talk about lynching blacks, but I did that here today and if you think I'm kidding … I want you to bear in mind that the reason the city put up these fences and called in all these cops was not to protect us from you [black counter-demonstrators]. It was to protect you from us."

The FBI asked Turner to cancel the rally before it occurred, but Turner refused. As a result, the Detroit office of the FBI stopped using Turner as a confidential informant, citing his "uncooperative and renegade behavior." However, Turner continued to supply tips and contact his FBI handlers in New Jersey. (In fact, he E-mailed them three weeks before his June 24, 2009 arrest.)

On Jan. 1, 2008, unidentified hackers broke Turner's E-mail account and found correspondence between Turner and his FBI and New Jersey State Police handlers. They confronted Turner in a comments page of his website, and briefly posted segments of the E-mails before Turner was able to delete them. In one, Turner wrote his FBI informant, "Once again, my fierce rhetoric has served to flush out a possible crazy." He then offered information on a commenter who had threatened to kill a U.S. senator. (A lawyer representing Turner later confirmed the veracity of the E-mail exchange.) At this point, the Southern Poverty Law Center — which had managed to spot the comments in the short time they were up and was concerned that the authorities were running an informant who was creating more danger than he was deterring — publicly criticized the apparent relationship. A few months later, the SPLC wrote that it had confirmed Turner's role as an FBI informant.

In February 2008, Turner realized that then-presidential candidate Barack Obama had a good chance of becoming the next president. His response was to call for Obama's assassination. "I'm starting to come to the realization that it may be up to a sole person, acting alone, to make certain this guy is never allowed to hold the most powerful office in the world," he wrote. Turner later took down his remark.

Turner was arrested in New Jersey on June 3, 2009, and charged with inciting injury to persons or property, because of a June 2 blog post he had written. Turner was upset with a bill introduced into a Connecticut Senate committee that specifically targeted the hierarchy of Catholic parishes. The bill would have taken power away from priests and given it to a council of lay people. Turner wrote: "Thankfully, the Founding Fathers gave us the tools necessary to resolve tyranny: The Second Amendment. TRN [Turner Radio Network] advocates Catholics in Connecticut take up arms and put down this tyranny by force. To that end, THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT ON ‘THE HAL TURNER SHOW' we will be releasing the home addresses of the Senator and Assemblyman who introduced Bill 1098 as well as the home address of Thomas K. Jones from the OSE [Office of State Ethics]." He was released on bail on June 8.

However, Turner did not remain free for long. He was arrested three weeks later, on June 24, 2009, and charged with threatening to assault and murder three federal judges. It was again a blog post got him into trouble. Turner had been seething over a decision in a Chicago appeals court that upheld a local handgun ban. "Let me be the first to say this plainly: These Judges deserve to be killed," he wrote on June 2. "Their blood will replenish the tree of liberty. A small price to pay to assure freedom for millions." The next day, Turner updated the post to include the names, work addresses, phone numbers, and photographs of the three judges who decided the case. He also added a photograph of their courthouse that was modified to show the locations of "anti-truck bomb barriers." Turner was released on a $500,000 bond on Oct. 21, 2009.

This was not a new tactic for Turner: he had called for both specific judges and judges in general to be assaulted and murdered many times in the past. He had also listed the contact information of people who he wanted to harass, including Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.

Turner's trial began on Dec. 1, 2009. On Dec. 2, Special Agent Amy Pickett, who supervised the FBI agent who handled Turner, testified for the prosecution. She said that the FBI never encouraged Turner to engage in violent rhetoric against public officials and that Turner was advised that he would receive no immunity from prosecution. On Dec. 7, 2009, the first trial ended in a mistrial, with a hung jury voting 9-3 for acquittal. A second trial began on March 1, 2010, but ended in a mistrial on March 10. In the second trial, some of the judges who were targeted in Turner's blog post testified that they felt threatened by Turner's blog posts.

The third trial began on Aug. 10, 2010. In her opening remarks, prosecutor Diane McArthur noted that Turner's threatening statements were made two years after he was closed out as an FBI informant. Turner claimed that FBI agents coached him on the limits of free speech and encouraged him to "ratchet up the rhetoric" in order to bring out suspects in a 2005 investigation. But witnesses for the prosecution contradicted Turner's testimony. On Aug. 12, New Jersey State Police Detective Sgt. Leonard Nerbetski stated that officials had never encouraged Turner him to "ratchet up the rhetoric." Turner's principal handler, FBI agent Stephen Haug, corroborated Nerbetski's statements on Aug. 13 (Haug had not testified in the earlier trials). That same day, the jury found Turner guilty after deliberating for less than two hours.

In December 2010, Turner was sentenced to 25 months in federal prison. As of mid-2011, Turner still faced additional charges in Connecticut, where he is accused of threatening three state officials in 2009.

A Connecticut jury acquitted Turner of these charges in September 2011. Jurors said that although the white supremacist’s comments about the state officials were “outrageous,” and “distasteful,” the prosecution failed to convince them beyond reasonable doubt that criminal conduct had occurred. Turner was scheduled to be released in October 2012 but will be barred from participating in Internet or satellite radio programming for an additional three years.

Harold Charles "Hal" Turner (born March 15, 1962) is an American far-right political commentator from North Bergen, New Jersey.

Turner's viewpoints typically encompass Holocaust denial,[1] conspiracy theory, white supremacy,[citation needed] and have included calls for assassination of government officials. In August 2010, he was convicted for making threats against three federal judges with the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, for which he spent two years in prison.

Turner has sporadically hosted The Hal Turner Show, usually on shortwave radio station WBCQ, since 2002, as well as a corresponding blog, which has changed URLs frequently and has occasionally spread hoaxes and fake news.

Early life

Turner was born in Jersey City and raised in Union City and from age five in Ridgefield Park, where he attended Ridgefield Park High School.[2] Prior to working on radio, Turner worked as a driver and a salesman.[3]

Early career

Identifying himself as "Hal from North Bergen", Turner became notable in American conservative circles as a frequent caller to and supporter of WABC radio talk show hosts Bob Grant and Sean Hannity.[4] Turner parlayed this fame into a role as the northern New Jersey coordinator for Patrick J. Buchanan's 1992 presidential campaign.

Turner claims he established a friendship with Sean Hannity,[4] on whose radio program he had once been a frequent presence.[5] In 2008, while Hannity and Malik Zulu Shabazz of the New Black Panther Party were debating Barack Obama's association with Jeremiah Wright, Shabazz asked Hannity if he should "be judged by (his) promotion and association with Hal Turner". Hannity began to say that he didn't know Turner, but then said he was someone he had banned from his radio program ten years before. Turner subsequently gave an account of their association on his website, in which he said of Hannity's response: "I was quite disappointed when Sean Hannity at first tried to say he didn't know me. In fact, Sean does know me and we were quite friendly a few years ago."[6][7] Phil Boyce, Program Director of WABC, disputed the account, which described a friendship developing between Turner and Hannity in 1993, three years before Hannity was actually hired at WABC.[8]

Turner became a talk radio host, joining fellow regular callers Frank from Queens and John from Staten Island to start the program The Right Perspective. Turner left the program in 2002, citing artistic differences. In 2002, Turner became a solo host, purchasing a time slot on shortwave radio station WBCQ, over which he broadcast for approximately four years. On WBCQ on March 22, 2004 he left the show "after harshly criticizing his supporters, listeners, and WBCQ."[9] The show lacked financial support[10] and Turner had health problems,[11][unreliable source?] leading to the temporary closure of his website and show.[citation needed]

Activism and assault claims

In the 2000 US congress election, Turner sought the Republican Party nomination for election to the United States Congress from New Jersey's 13th congressional district. He received 18.6% of the vote, losing to Theresa de Leon.[12][13] Turner has identified himself as the "Chairman of the Republican Party of Hudson County, NJ Corp," a group which has no connection to the official Hudson County Republican Party recognized by the state and national party. According to news reports, Hudson County Republican officials have stated that Turner's party is a "paper corporation with little or no membership".[14]

In response to an October 7, 2005, assault against a white student by a black student at Kingston High School, Turner, working with the white nationalist group National Vanguard, organized a rally which he called a "rally against violence".[15] He characterized the rally as both "pro-white" and "against violence".[16] The victim's mother chose not to attend the rally.[16][dead link] In response, local residents, including political and religious leaders, organized a number of "Unity Rallies" with a tolerance theme.[17] When the rally occurred on November 19, 2005, Turner and the National Vanguard attracted approximately 50 demonstrators, compared to the 100 counter-demonstrators.[18] Turner called for the attacker to be charged with a hate crime, but the case resulted in the perpetrator being indicted as an adult with two felony counts: assault and attempted assault instead.[19][20]

On April 12, 2006, Turner had a physical altercation with Jaime Vazquez, a former Jersey City Deputy Mayor and a member of the Jersey City Council, who was the Jersey City Commissioner of Veterans Affairs at the time. The North Bergen Reporter quoted Turner as saying "(t)he illegal immigrants are breaking the law, and people like me should break the law as well by shooting them down." In response, Vazquez picketed with a sign reading "Hal Turner — shoot me! Racists and bigots like you are cowards."[21] This was followed by a physical confrontation, during which Vazquez suffered a back injury and a fractured wrist. Turner and Vazquez later filed criminal charges against each other. On July 16, 2006 North Bergen Municipal Court Judge Joseph Romano found both men to be equally credible and thus neither criminally liable.[22]

Broadcasting and website issues

In 2002, Turner started broadcasting, but quit the show in July 2008[23] and resumed broadcasting it in April 2009 as the Turner Radio Network. In August 2008 his website also closed. Although he retained a blog, it was shut down by his host, Google's Blogger, for violations of terms of service.[24]

Origin of China eminent domain hoax

In February 2009, Turner posted an article on his blog entitled: "FEDS GRANT EMINENT DOMAIN AS COLLATERAL TO CHINA FOR U.S. DEBTS!" claiming that a secret agreement had been made to allow China to physically take U.S. land, in the event of a U.S. default.[25] The story created "hundreds of identical Internet replications" according to Snopes.[26]

Anonymous website raid

Turner stated that in December 2006 and January 2007 individuals who identified themselves as members of the group Anonymous took Turner's website offline, costing him thousands of dollars in bandwidth bills. On January 19, 2007 Turner sued 4chan, eBaum's World, 7chan, Abjects IRC network, and other websites for copyright infringement. On January 22, 2007 he lost his plea for an injunction. In February 2007 4chan responded to the lawsuit. In April 2007, the judge asked the parties to submit information to schedule proceedings. However, Turner failed to respond. Mail from the court to Turner was returned as "Undeliverable". The judge dismissed the case in December 2007.[27]

FBI informant

Turner was a paid informant for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for several years, supplying information about right-wing groups to federal agents.[28] The original allegations that Turner acted as an informant for the FBI surfaced in 2008 after unidentified hackers claimed on Turner's website's forums that they had read email correspondences between him and an FBI agent, apparently his handler. This led to a discussion on a neo-Nazi website on January 10, 2008, in which Turner revealed that he was quitting political work, ending his radio show and separating "from the 'pro-White' movement". The FBI has declined to comment on the matter.[29] The Southern Poverty Law Center[30] and the Anti-Defamation League reported on the emails that "a neo-Nazi Website had posted material reportedly found by the hackers, including alleged exchanges between himself and law enforcement agents which indicated that Turner had been providing information to them."[31]

On July 28, 2009 in a Chicago courtroom, Turner's defense lawyer said that Turner worked as a paid informant for the FBI.[32] In December 2009, The Record published an investigative report on Turner's "complex" relationship with the FBI and Federal U.S. Marshal Service, noting that all parties broke off contact at several points.[33]

Turner's information led to the arrests of the Hutaree militia, with Turner's FBI handler serving as the prosecution's witness.[34]

Michael A. Orozco, Turner's lawyer said, "I don't think he was a racist. He was doing a lot of those things at the behest of the FBI."[35]

Return to radio

On October 7, 2015, Turner returned to radio for the weekly, two hour Hal Turner Show, broadcast on shortwave radio station WBCQ and over the internet.[36] For a time in 2015, Turner promoted another broadcast over "Superstation 95," a pirate radio station in the New York City area. The show aired until February 1, 2017, and then resumed on July 5, 2017, eventually adding another shortwave affiliate, WRMI. Turner stated at the end of March 2019 that he had run out of funds to keep the show on WBCQ and WRMI. An associated fundraising appeal was a success, and Turner expanded his broadcast to a daily show.

Turner also claims KYAH in Delta, Utah as a standard AM radio affiliate. KYAH, which broadcasts at low power during Turner's show, lists the time slot in its program schedule as "TBA."

Threats against judges and political figures

Turner has a history of making threats against various public figures.[37] In 2005, Turner publicized the names of three federal court judges who handled lawsuits involving Matt Hale, a white supremacist convicted of soliciting the murder of a federal judge.[38] Turner posted the judges' names and addresses on his Web site.[38][39]

On December 6, 2006, Turner announced on his website:

We may have to ASSASSINATE some of the people you elect on Nov. 7! This could be your LAST ELECTION CHANCE, to save this Republic ... Sorry to have to be so blunt, but the country is in mortal danger from our present government and our liberty is already near dead because of this government. If you are too stupid to turn things around with your vote, there are people out here like me who are willing to turn things around with guns, force and violence. We hope our method does not become necessary[40]

Since the announcement was made, Turner has had difficulties finding a host for his website. He alleged that his website has been the target of denial of service attacks, and subsequently filed a pro se lawsuit.[41][42][43]

On April 4, 2008, Turner encouraged violence against Lexington, Massachusetts school superintendent Paul Ash for establishing a new curriculum supporting homosexuals. On his website, he stated:

I advocate parents using FORCE AND VIOLENCE against Superintendent Paul B. Ash as a method of defending the health and safety of school children presently being endangered through his politically-correct indoctrination into deadly, disease-ridden sodomite lifestyles.[44]

He went on to provide Ash's personal information, including his address.[44] Fourteen months later, on June 2, 2009, Turner posted on his blog

Let me be the first to say this plainly: These judges deserve to be killed. Their blood will replenish the tree of liberty. A small price to pay to assure freedom for millions.

The next day Turner posted information on how to find Chief Judge Frank Easterbrook and Judges Richard Posner and William Joseph Bauer.[45]

Arrests, trials, and conviction

On June 3, 2009, Turner was arrested in New Jersey and charged with inciting injury to two politicians in Connecticut and a state ethics official.[46][47] The warrant issued was for inciting his website's readers to "take up arms" against the officials.[48] Two weeks later, Turner was re-arrested on June 24, 2009 at his New Jersey home for making threats against the judges of the United States Court of Appeals in Chicago.[49] When he was arrested, FBI officials seized 200 rounds of ammunition as well as three handguns and one shotgun. In the federal case, Turner was denied bail.[50][51]

On June 30, 2009, the website for Turner's blog was shut down and replaced with a notice stating that the site had been taken down by Turner's family, directing interested parties to a blog for the Family of Hal Turner, with entries by his mother.[52]

United States v. Turner

Wikisource has original text related to this article:

Government's Sentencing Memorandum: United States of America vs Harold Turner

On July 28, 2009 in the case of United States v. Turner in Chicago, Turner pleaded not guilty to threatening to kill three federal appellate judges there and then sought his release from custody, saying he had been an informant for the FBI.[53] The judge gave Turner ten days "to produce concrete evidence of Turner's help to the FBI or federal marshals."[53] On August 11, Turner was denied bail again. The judge cited the fact that Turner, from his prison cell, recorded and posted on the internet a telephone conversation that included the names of his arresting FBI agents. The judge said that Turner's act "tells me something about the disposition of Mr. Turner."[54]

His lawyer said the defense would use "Turner's background as an FBI informant" and argue that he was "trained by the FBI" as "an agent provocateur" to incite people."[55][56] In late October 2009 Turner was freed on $500,000 bond, and was ordered not to use a computer or any device that can access the Internet.[57] His trial started on November 30, 2009 and ended on December 4, 2009, with the defense opting not to call any witnesses.[58] After two hours of deliberation, the jury announced it was deadlocked.[59] Three days later the judge declared a mistrial, and a retrial was set for March 1, 2010.[60] This second trial, overseen by Western District of Louisiana judge Donald Walter, was moved from the Northern District of Illinois to the Eastern District of New York: since the prosecution was to call the three judges to the stand, the defense felt that Turner would not get a fair hearing if the trial was conducted in the same city where the judges worked.[61] A mistrial was declared on March 10.[62]

In August 2010, his third trial began and on August 31, after three days of testimony, the jury found Turner guilty.[63][64] On 21 December 2010, he was sentenced to 33 months in prison. Upon completion of his sentence, he will be barred from participating in Internet or satellite radio programming for three years.[64][65] In his sentencing memorandum, U.S. Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald made the following comment:

For years, Turner has engaged in a campaign of intimidation against public officials and private citizens alike. Even Turner's arrest in this case failed to deter him. Turner continued his tactics by using intimidation against a key witness in the government's case against him. All the while, Turner has displayed defiance and no regret for his actions. Turner remains utterly incapable of acknowledging the genuine fear experienced by his innumerable victims – that is, except when he is the victim of a perceived threat. Turner has committed a serious crime, engaged in witness intimidation, lied repeatedly under oath, and has shown no regret whatsoever.[66]

After his conviction, Turner was incarcerated in the Metropolitan Detention Center, Brooklyn,[67] and was later moved to the Federal Correctional Complex, Terre Haute.[68] In May, he sent letters to The Jersey Journal saying he is one of 38 people housed in Communication Management Unit in the prison Terre Haute with terrorists, like John Walker Lindh, and fears for his life once fellow prisoners find out he was a government informant.[68][69]

During his incarceration, Turner declared bankruptcy, and his wife filed for divorce.[70]

In August 2011, Turner filed an appeal for his conviction. He claimed that the government "failed to substantiate the charge" and asked to be released pending the appeal.[71]

Connecticut v. Turner

In July 2009 the Connecticut case was handed to a division of the state court that handles more serious matters.[72] In early February 2011, Turner appeared in a Hartford court for the Connecticut v. Turner pre-trial hearing on three counts of inciting injuries to persons.[73] The three felony counts Turner faced each carried one to 10 years in prison.[74]

In late February 2011, the federal government reported that e-mails "show it appears Turner plans to pursue judicial and law-enforcement officials after he's released from prison." On February 2, Turner wrote "when I get out, I'm gonna go after some 'problems' and take care of them in a manner that will be horrific."[75]

On March 25, 2011, Turner appeared in Hartford asking the court to be allowed to change his attorney, telling the judge, "I have no confidence in his ability to defend me."[76] The judge reluctantly allowed him to change his private attorney for a public defender citing Turner's unusually bad year.[76] On April 7, with a public defender at his side, Turner pleaded not guilty and the case will go to trial.[77]

In July 2011, Turner's public defender asked for the case to be dismissed, saying Turner's statements were free speech and that Connecticut courts did not have jurisdiction because his threats were made in New Jersey.[78] Prosecutor Thomas Garcia responded that Turner himself wrote that his intent behind the writing was to "foment direct action" against the lawmakers "personally."[74]

In September 2011, Turner asked Judge Carl J. Schuman for permission to represent himself after disagreeing with his public defender, John Stawicki, about defense strategy.[79] Judge Schuman agreed, but Stawicki remained as stand-by counsel.[79] That same week jury selection began.[80]

On September 16, 2011 after three hours of deliberation, Turner was found not guilty of "felony inciting injury to people and misdemeanor threatening."[81] After hugging his family, Turner was "escorted back into custody" to continue serving his sentence in the federal case.[82]

Turner was released from prison on October 5, 2012.[83]
