A white racist who threatened the lives of white state legislators and federal judges in Connecticut and Illinois, was jailed. But when the same man demanded the lynching of Black Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney while a paid agent provocateur for the FBI, in 2006, nothing happened – which leads us to conclude that the FBI approved.
FBI Provocateur on McKinney: Why Not Lynch an “Uppity Black Bitch?”
A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford
“By doing nothing, the FBI condoned Turner's demand for the assassination of a federal lawmaker.”
There is every historical reason to believe that the FBI approved of – or at least, had no objections to – it’s own agent’s incitement to assassinate a sitting Black U.S. congresswoman, Cynthia McKinney, in 2006.
The FBI's deep and institutional involvement in promoting domestic terror is an abiding fact of American life dating back nearly a century. The Bureau was born as a secret political police agency that arguably manufactured or instigated far more crime than it legitimately uncovered. It's core mission has remained unchanged since World War One, when the embryonic FBI was set loose as the federal attack dog to maul anti-war forces, labor, and the Left in general. Throughout its history, the FBI has considered all consciously Black politics to be inherently subversive – and the Bureau believed its mandate was to eliminate all subversives by any means necessary.
To that end, the FBI employed a vast army of agent provocateurs, whose job was to create crimes. Some of this FBI activity was simple entrapment, provoking people to engage in crimes they were presumably predisposed to commit, anyway, so that they could be arrested and taken out of circulation. But throughout the 19-teens, the 1920s, the 30s, and in every decade into the 21st century, the primary mission of the FBI's so-called “counter-intelligence” efforts has been to devise ways in which its “enemies” would wind up dead, maimed or otherwise “neutralized.” Thus, the Bureau routinely instigated violence for its own political purposes.
“The primary mission of the FBI's so-called 'counter-intelligence' efforts has been to devise ways in which its 'enemies' would wind up dead, maimed or otherwise 'neutralized.'”
Hal Turner, an internet radio operator and white racist from New Jersey, is charged with calling for the deaths of state lawmakers in Connecticut and three federal judges in Illinois. For that, he has been jailed. His lawyers claim Turner was only doing what the FBI taught him to do when he was one of their paid provocateurs, from 2002 to 2007. The prosecution admits Turner worked for the FBI before he broadcast the calls for the white officials' deaths. The FBI won't comment. But Turner would have been employed by the Bureau in 2006, when he asked his racist internet audience the question, “Given the prevalence of Black crime in America, would it serve the public good to lynch Congresswoman McKinney within the next few weeks...so as to send an unmistakable message to other Blacks...behave or die?” Turner then told his audience the address of McKinney's campaign headquarters.
For this brazen and very public threat against a federal official, Turner was neither charged, nor jailed, nor otherwise bothered in the least. When a McKinney aide contacted the FBI, he was told, “We know all about Turner.” Of course they did. By doing nothing, the FBI condoned Turner's demand for the assassination of a federal lawmaker, who he described as “a violent, black, racist bitch....”
Attorney General Eric Holder's Justice Department oversees the Bureau – at least on paper. It is his job to root out the terror squads that have always been part of the very fiber of the FBI. Attorney General Holder has said Americans are “cowards” when it comes to race. Is he afraid of his own FBI?

I am not an Obama fan but I do not want to see him killed trying to do his job. I think all of this nut job hoopla is being allowed to happen as a pretext/cover for some sort of assassination attempt

To paraphrase Reverend Jeremiah Wright
God Damn Barack Hussein Obama, a biracial Chicago politician who cynically exploited the dreams of the descedants of enslaved Africans to elect the "first Black President". Nevermind he was an admirer of Ronald Reagan, the Hollywood snitch who started his campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi. Nevermind Obama never misses an opportunity to chastise black Americans, especially black males, to appease white supremacist benefactors/donors. Note how he says NOTHING about the Israel's genocide tactics against Palestinians while he refuses to send a delegation to the UN Conference Against Racism. God Damn Barack Hussein Obama for geing a willing brown face for imperialism. His tawny skin distracts most people around the globe while multinational corporations start wars to seize oil, gold,diamonds, coltan, etc. Black Americans are lulled to sleep thinking about the mullato and his chocolate-skinned wife sleeping in the White House while not connecting the dots on the Wall Street banks/investment houses gambling on their mortgage loans jeopardized their ownership/rental of where they live.
STILL NO RESPONSE FROM MN REP ON ISRAELI JAILING OF MCKINNEY
After reading in BlackAgendaReport about the Israelis jailing McKinney and 20 others who attempted to deliver food, toys for children and other items to Gaza, I wrote to and then called Rep Keith Ellison, who is the Black Representative from MN. I have yet to get any response from him. So much for the responsiveness of elected officals. Fortunately, after being released from the Isreali prison, McKinney was able to make the delivery to Gaza. I also attempted during the period of her imprisonment ...(to no avail) to contact the State Department to find out if Hillary and staff had made any comments or any efforts for her release. I searched in vain for statements from the State Department or from ANYONE in the Obama adminstration...and could find NOTHING.
Cointelpro Party Don’t Never Stop
Thanks Mr. Ford for sounding out the truth on this subject. FYI COINTELPRO has never stopped!!! Just like in the sixties when Cointelpro was on full throttle subverting every civil rights group (SCLC, NAACP, NOI and most of all the BPP Black Panther Party for those too young to know), the FBI (Federal Bureau of Instigators) is at it again. The Cointelpro party don’t never stop for this crew. If you still do not believe that the FBI will frame and get innocent people sent to prison follow this link for your wake up call http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2009/08/28/fbi_loses_appeal_of_101m_verdict_in_scapegoats_case/?s_campaign=8315
My question is this if the FBI was not concerned about the health and safety of Miss McKinney when she was in office just how much are they concerned about Obama’s health and safety??? Given the fact that we have seen a wing nut showing up at a Obama town hall meeting in New Hampshire with a LOADED WEAPON. Here is a link to the you tube video on this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIbGdt_LFbw . Just listen to the load of crap that was given to allow him to stay on site. I have never seen security that will allow anyone get that close to any place where a government official let alone the POTUS was going to be with a loaded weapon in plain view. Nor have I ever heard anyone allowed to threaten a government official with DEATH on a open mic and at least not have the FBI or Secret Service show up at his/her door. But then again if your employer is/was the FBI I guess you would think you got it like that.
I am not an Obama fan but I do not want to see him killed trying to do his job. I think all of this nut job hoopla is being allowed to happen as a pretext/cover for some sort of assassination attempt. I lived through the Kennedy, King Malcolm assassinations and none of the official stories about those hit jobs passed the smell test for me. It is just unimaginable that the tone and timber of the dialogue about the issues of the day have been allowed to rise to the level of hostility and violence that we now see. Knowing full well that we are swimming in a sea of firearms with plenty of whole fools looking for a alibi excuse or lie to use one on the object of their frustration.

Disgusting!

Appalling, but not surprising. I hope McKinney sheds more light on this.
