In The Informant, historian Gary May reveals the untold story of the murder of civil rights worker Viola Liuzzo, shot to death by members of the violent Birmingham Ku Klux Klan at the end of Martin Luther King's historic ...
“Gary May’s page-turner is a demonstration that truth can be stranger than fiction. His book is a cautionary tale about secret government in general and the misuse of secret agents in particular. Part biography, part history, May’s book is a window on personalities and events essential to our understanding of the Civil Rights era of the 1960s.”—Robert Dallek
“The Informant is a gripping and suspenseful account of an enormously important event in American history. Based on unprecedented access to internal FBI documents, it offers fresh revelations about the Ku Klux Klan, the FBI, and the Civil Rights movement. This is a great book and, incidentally, a real page-turner.”—Richard Gid Powers, author of Broken: The Troubled Past and Uncertain Future of the FBI

Former Prosecutor Says FBI Delayed Alabama Conviction
Thomas Blanton is finally going to prison — a life sentence he avoided for almost four decades.
Alabama's former attorney general says he could have put Blanton away 24 years ago if he'd only had access to secretly recorded tapes of Blanton talking to his wife about "the meeting to plan a bomb." The tapes were sitting in the FBI's files.
"If we had had those tapes we would have unequivocally been able to convict Blanton back then," former Alabama Attorney General Bill Baxley said.
Help of Reporter Turned Case Around
Baxley wanted to try the four suspected bombers in 1977. But he needed the FBI's evidence and he says he wasn't getting it. So he enlisted the help of a reporter.
"I had dinner with Bill Baxley over across the street from the Washington bureau of the L.A. Times and he pulled out of his wallet a crumbled piece of paper with the names of these four little girls on it," said Los Angeles Times reporter Jack Nelson. "Then he told me at that time 'I'm going to get the guys that did this,' and he said, 'but I need help.'"
"He went over the FBI's head to the Department of Justice and told the Attorney General that he was going to expose them for blocking a prosecution," Baxley said.
Baxley says the threat got him enough evidence to convict one of the bombers — the ring leader Robert Chambliss. But Baxley didn't know at the time that he didn't get everything in the FBI files, including the Blanton tapes.
"I believe the FBI office here in Birmingham, during the time of the investigation in 1977, did not know of the existence of those tapes," said Charlene Thornton, Birmingham's FBI director."We did not withhold information."
But the FBI acknowledges, at the height of the civil rights struggle in the 60s, the FBI had little faith in Southern law enforcement.
"I recognize that, in years past, they had valid reasons to not trust deep-South law enforcement," Baxley said. "So I spent a lot of time trying to convince them that that wasn't the case with us."
Have Things Changed in Deep South?
The federal prosecutor who finally convicted Blanton this year says things have changed.
"Today's FBI is far different than it was," said U.S. Attorney Doug Jones. "The guys deserve all the credit for helping to bring this case, knowing that they would probably take some criticism for what their agency did years ago."
Baxley says the bottom line is: justice was unnecessarily delayed.
"The FBI for all intents and purposes gave a 'get out of jail free card' to Tommy Blanton," Baxley said.
Of the other suspects, Herman Cash died in 1994. The fourth suspect, Bobby Frank Cherry, has been indicted but ruled mentally unfit to stand trial.

Reporting in 1970 for the Los Angeles Times, Jack Nelson discovered that the FBI and police in Meridian, Miss., had shot two Ku Klux Klan members in a sting operation. Hoping to suppress the story, FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover smeared Nelson as a drunk, but the piece nevertheless ran on Page 1. Two years later, Nelson reported on the FBI’s use of an agent provocateur in its investigation of Philip Berrigan and other peace activists known as the Harrisburg Seven. Hoover again sought without success to have Nelson fired.
Born in Talladega, Ala., Nelson grew up in Biloxi, Miss., and after high school went to work for the Biloxi Daily Herald. After joining The Atlanta Constitution, he won a Pulitzer Prize for his series on Georgia’s Milledgeville Central State Hospital for the mentally ill, said the Los Angeles Times, exposing an array of abuses that included “nurses who were allowed to perform major surgery.” Five years later he opened the Atlanta bureau of the Times, and began covering the civil-rights demonstrations in Selma, Ala. He clashed with the Nixon administration in 1972, when he “scored an exclusive interview” with ex–FBI Agent Alfred C. Baldwin III, who had witnessed the break-in at Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate Hotel. In his interview with Nelson, Baldwin told about being recruited by ex–CIA Agent James McCord, meeting with G. Gordon Liddy and Howard Hunt, and monitoring wiretaps on Democratic phones. Prosecutors persuaded Judge John J. Sirica to issue a gag order on the scoop, but the Times appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled in its favor.

In his report, Nolan concluded, “A new book, ‘The Orangeburg Massacre,’ … will hopefully prick the public conscience.” Our book was widely and positively reviewed, and it also received extensive news coverage, especially its disclosures about shoddy FBI practices that included false statements by FBI agents on the scene to Justice Department superiors to cover up for the state troopers. F.B.I. Director J. Edgar Hoover sent me a three-page letter—scalding in tone but erroneous and defensive in content. Together with my rebuttal letter to him, it generated another spate of news stories.
In many cities where the book had received rave reviews, however, it was unavailable in major bookstores. Although Hoover’s wrath scared away a syndicate that had committed to purchase rights for a series of newspaper articles, the distribution problem flowed from our editor (now deceased), who had been described to me by an author who had worked with him as “brilliant—and the most vindictive person I’ve ever met.” With us, he soon became contentious. Once, when I insisted to a sales clerk at a bookstore in Philadelphia that the book actually existed, he opened the current issue of “Books in Print,” showed me there was no entry for “The Orangeburg Massacre,” and said, “You must be mistaken. There is no such book.”

'Shock jock' Hal Turner says government will hear his 'wrath' in new radio show | NJ.com
Feb 26, 2015 - Leading up to his arrest, Turner's radio show was popular with white supremacists, ... Before news of his double life as an FBI informant surfaced, various news organizations described Turner ...
Leading up to his arrest, Turner's radio show was popular with white supremacists, neo-Nazis and other racist groups. According to a Supreme Court brief filed by the U.S. Department of Justice in 2013, his popularity with extremists prompted the FBI to enlist Turner as an informant from 2003 to 2007 to report on any planned acts of violence.
Before news of his double life as an FBI informant surfaced, various news organizations described Turner as a xenophobe and hate-monger. The Southern Poverty Law Center's website describes Turner as a "white supremacist true believer," and has a full page dedicated to explaining the designation. But Turner said on Wednesday that he isn't a white supremacist and never was, that he only learned about the demographics of his audience when the FBI approached him. He described himself as a conservative-republican, who specializes in "robust talk radio" that flouts political correctness.
Turner has criticized authorities for arresting him for the kind of writing that closely mirrored stories he said were encouraged by the FBI to further stoke his supremacist fan-base. Though, the 2013 brief states that the FBI warned Turner about his own violent writing.

May 4, 1970: Did an FBI informant shoot first at Kent State?
May 4, 2016 -
I've always been fascinated with the Kent State shootings of May 4, 1970, where National Guardsmen shot and murdered four students in a volley of...
This TV footage from May 4, 1970 shows Kent State student Terry Norman being chased by graduate student Harold Reid, who shouts "Hey, stop that man! I saw him shoot someone! Stop him, he's carrying a gun!" Norman then surrenders his weapon to Kent State patrolman Harold Rice. Video by Joe Butano and Jorge Gomez
KENT, Ohio — In the four decades since Ohio National Guardsmen fired on students and antiwar demonstrators at Kent State University, Terry Norman has remained a central but shadowy figure in the tragedy.
The 21-year-old law enforcement major and self-described "gung-ho" informant was the only civilian known to be carrying a gun -- illegally, though with the tacit consent of campus police -- when the volatile protest unfolded on May 4, 1970. Witnesses saw him with his pistol out around the time the Guardsmen fired.
Though Norman denied shooting his weapon, and was never charged in connection with the four dead and nine wounded at Kent State, many people suspected he somehow triggered the soldiers' deadly 13-second volley.
In October, a Plain Dealer-commissioned exam of a long-forgotten audiotape from the protest focused new attention on Norman. Enhancement of the recording revealed a violent altercation and four gunshots, 70 seconds before the Guard's fusillade. Forensic audio expert Stuart Allen said the shots are from a .38-caliber pistol, like the one police confiscated from Norman minutes after the Guard shootings.

Fox News, Daily Caller delete posts showing cars mowing down ‘liberal protesters’
BY ELIZABETH ELIZALDE
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Tuesday, August 15, 2017, 10:16 PM
A video reposted by Fox News showing cars plowing through “liberal protesters” and encouraging viewers to do the same has been taken down.
The video originally published by the Daily Caller — a conservative website founded by Fox News host Tucker Carlson — in January was titled “Here’s A Reel Of Cars Plowing Through Protesters Trying To Block The Road.”
The footage posted by Mike Raust, a video editor at the Daily Caller, shows clips of cars mowing down people who were blocking the streets to a cover of rapper Ludacris’ 2001 song “Move B---h.”
“Here’s a compilation of liberal protesters getting pushed out of the way by cars and trucks,” read the caption under the video. “Study the technique; it may prove useful in the next four years.”

Fox News reposted the video on its site before taking it down.
“The item was inappropriate and we've taken it down. We regret posting it in January," Noah Kotch, editor-in-chief of Fox News Digital, said in a statement to the Daily News.
The Daily Caller also deleted its post showing the video. The site did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Police Commission decides officer was justified in fatally shooting 18-year-old in South L.A.
The Los Angeles Police Commission decided Tuesday that an officer was justified in shooting Carnell Snell Jr. last fall in South L.A., a killing that prompted protests and the rare public release of video evidence by the LAPD.
Although the panel faulted the tactics of three officers, they cleared the officer who fatally shot Snell, a young black man, saying his decision to pull the trigger fell within the LAPD’s policy for using deadly force.
The unanimous ruling came after a meeting peppered with interruptions by activists who chanted the 18-year-old’s name and criticized the police — disruptions that are not unusual for the civilian commission’s weekly meetings but ultimately led to the arrests of three people Tuesday.

Column Pressure points? Here are the companies whose CEOs are still kissing up to Trump
Those companies and organizations are undoubtedly pondering now whether cozying up to this president is worth the grief. When we polled members of the jobs panel Monday, only a handful responded, and a subset of those stated affirmatively that they were staying on. They were Whirlpool, Boeing, General Electric, Dell and Campbell Soup.
The AFL-CIO said Tuesday that its two representatives on the jobs council, President Richard Trumka and Deputy Chief of Staff Thea Lee, were resigning, effective immediately. “We cannot sit on a council for a President who tolerates bigotry and domestic terrorism,” the two officers said in a tweet.
