BLOGGER FIGHTS INCITEMENT CHARGE

Hartford, CT – New Jersey talk-radio host and blogger Hal Turner appeared in State Court in Hartford today for a Status Conference in connection with charges of inciting injury to property or persons. Turner was charged by Connecticut State Capitol Police
(CSCP) on June 3 after he published an editorial on his blog suggesting Connecticut residents should “take up arms” against two state legislators and one other state official who Turner says misused their public offices to harass and attack the Catholic Church.

Turner published his opinion on his radio show web site on June 2 and promised to reveal the home addresses of the three officials the next day during his live radio show. That show did not air because New Jersey Police arrested Turner on a Warrant out of Connecticut which alleged Turner was a FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE who had committed “Harassing Communications.”

Turner was jailed without bail as a Fugitive for five days until a New Jersey Judge released him because the Fugitive Warrant was FALSE. In those 5 days, Connecticut officials changed the charge to incitement. Turner was released on $25,000 bail in New Jersey, and then posted a second $25,000 bond in CT because state officials refused to accept the New Jersey Bond.

As a matter of law, Turner committed no crime at all. His web site posting was protected free speech under the First Amendment as interpreted by the US Supreme Court in the landmark case “Brandenburg v. Ohio.” In that case, the court ruled that all speech is protected as long as it meets the following two criteria:
1) The speech is not designed to elicit imminent lawlessness, AND;
2) Imminent lawlessness is not likely.
The court went on to define “imminent” as “the time necessary for law enforcement officials to arrive so as to keep the peace.”

Both prongs of the test above must be met before speech can be criminalized. Turner’s blog posting met neither prong and is thus protected.


Calling for citizens to “take up arms” via an internet web site does not lend itself to imminent lawlessness. The notion that people would read something on the internet and run right out with guns is absurd on its face.

The fact that home addresses were to be given out more than 24 hours later during a radio show left ample time for police to resort to other means. They could have deployed a protective detail to the homes of the three officials. They could have sought a restraining order. The CSCP did neither.

Instead, they issued a false fugitive warrant to arrest Turner for a crime that had not yet taken place! No one was incited to do anything and no one could have been incited because no addresses had yet been given out. As such, the arrest was unlawful “prior-restraint” of free speech.

As a result, Turner has instructed his legal team to make a criminal referral to the United States Attorneys office asking for an investigation into whether the actions of CSCP Officer Timothy Doyle, CSCP Chief Fallon and two state legislators violated Title 18, United States Code, Section 242: “Deprivation of rights under color of law.” If the US Attorney finds a violation too place, those officials could face federal felony charges.

Whether or not the US Attorney takes action, Turner’s legal team is confident the charge against him will be dismissed before trial. They have good cause to be confident. It turns out that Hal Turner was a highly trained intelligence operative for the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) from 2003 through 2008 and actually contributed to the FBI’s mission starting back in 1993.

In that role, Turner was highly trained as to exactly what speech was lawful and what was not. He was “tasked” by the JTTF to use fiery rhetoric so as to flush-out crazies before they attacked. It was a very successful intelligence operation that netted more than 100 federal subjects, averted at least ten acts of violence and resulted in numerous arrests.

The defense plans to introduce memos from the United States Attorney Generals John Ashcroft, McClusky and later Alberto Gonzales which laid out the relationship between Turner and the government. They will also produce FBI memos, pay sheets showing the FBI budgeted $100,000 or more per year for Turner, and correspondence between the FBI and then-U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Christopher Christie detailing the training, pay and operating parameters of the intelligence operation code named “Valhalla.”

Christ Christie was elected Governor of New Jersey earlier this month, and his involvement in this FBI operation could prove to be his first scandal.

FBI memos describe Turner as “irreplaceable” and go on to say his being with the JTTF is “. . . . .crucial . . . . .to the prevention of domestic terrorism and lone wolf attacks in the United States.”

In the years Turner served the FBI he uncovered Narcotics funding of terrorist groups, unlawful manufacturing and distribution of silencers for hand guns, he stopped the black market sale of Military Hardware used in Stealth aircraft, located a pipe bomb maker, prevented the arson-murder of a Jewish college student in Tennessee and much more.

He achieved this by portraying himself as a radical, racist “bad boy” on the radio. Turns out, it was all an FBI front.

According to the law and the facts of the case, the state’s chances of prevailing in this matter are exactly zero. Turner expects to be cleared and may sue both the state and the individual officers for false arrest, false imprisonment, executing a false fugitive warrant, and a host of other civil claims.

Students Protest FBI over Hal Turner

College students protested the FBI for hiring Hal Turner as an Intelligence Operative for the Joint Terrorism Task Force.

While these particular kids are misguided Communists, protesting that the FBI funded a pro-white media host and pro-white media outlet (Turner Radio Network), others showed up to protest the FBI's BETRAYAL of Hal Turner.

Turner was arrested by the FBI on June 24, 2009 after he wrote an editorial which was critical of three federal judges. In the editorial, Turner called the judges traitors and tyrants. He
quoted Thomas Jefferson who said "The tree of Liberty must be replenished from time to time with the blood of tyrants and patriots," and later said: "Let me be the first to say this plainly, these judges deserve to be killed."

The FBI claims that saying the judges "deserve to be killed" is a threat to "assault and murder" them. Turner says his words are just an opinion.

Turner was hired by the FBI in the year 2002, but the bureau revealed Turner had actually "contributed to the FBI's Mission since 1993." they trained him as an Intelligence Operative and
provided extensive legal advice about what is lawful, protected speech as opposed to unlawful speech. Turner relied on that training while writing his editorial but was arrested by the FBI
anyway.

After being held in federal prison for 119 days, Turner was freed on $500,000 bail on October 21, 2009. His trial is set for sometime in late November in Brooklyn, NY.

HAL TURNER ORDERED RELEASED ON BAIL

10/17/09

The family of Hal Turner is pleased to announce that Hal is to be released on $500,000 bail. We expect to post bail by Monday, October 19, 2009, and to have Hal released by October 23, 2009.

In preparation for his expected release, Federal Marshals transported Hal from the US Prison in Chicago, IL to the Federal tier in a NJ Prison near Hal's home town of North Bergen, NJ.

Once released, Hal will be under house arrest and gag order, forbidding him from talking to the media.

Hal was arrested by the FBI on June 24, 2009 after publishing an editorial which was critical of three federal judges. The editorial quoted Thomas Jefferson and described the judges as traitors. The FBI claims the editorial is a threat to murder, Hal says the editorial is his opinion.

Over the course of the last two months, a large ans well respected media outlet in the New York City area has been conducting an investigation into Hal's arrest. We expect major coverage of the results of their investigation to become public very soon.
