This book centers around a man named Dave Hall, who, in
order to avoid time in jail on a drug charge, agreed to
become a stooge for the Iron Heel and infiltrate the Ohio
chapter of the Aryan Nations.
One thing we must always remember about informants is that they are notoriously full of shit and many will do or say anything to save their own skin at the expense of others.
Besides Hall, the other main figure in the book is the Ohio AN leader and C-I minister, the late Harold Ray Redfeairn, whom Hall needed to get close to... and from reading the book he obviously did... quite successfully.Hall paints Redfeairn as a corrupt individual. Redfeairn is portrayed as a serious alcoholic and cocaine addict. Is this true? It's all based on the word of one man, informant Dave Hall. I spent 12 years in the white separatist movement and can personally attest to coming across alcoholics and drug abusers. I think we all know people in our sphere who have these destructive addictions. But could Hall just be saying this to cast Redfeairn in an even more negative light? The pastor may very well have had those personal demons or he may have been a recreational user. (BTW, I don't advocate the use of illegal drugs.) But since the 'evidence' is coming from an informant trying to avoid the slammer, I take this accusation with a grain of salt.
While on the subject, Hall also states on more than one occasion that Redfeairn would come out of a bathroom with white powder around his nostrils, as if Redfeairn, if he was a major drug user, wouldn't have the sense to wipe off his damn nose after using the stuff. It got to a point when reading the book that I wondered if Hall just envisioned Redfeairn this way (always coming out of the john with coke on his nose) and it became part of the 'story'. He insinuates that Redfeairn may also have been a drug dealer... without any substantiation, of course.Another part that irked me was when Tim Burkey, Hall's Iron Heel handler, basically stated that Redfeairn was an armored car robber. This, again, was without any concrete evidence presented whatsoever. It was clearly just pure speculation.
The book ultimately centers around a plot to assassinate Morris Dees and the story, if nothing else, serves as a primer for what NOT to do when carrying out potential revolutionary activity.
Redfeairn apparently recruits a man named Kale Kelly to
carry out this mission. But, of course, like in a movie,
Hall gets wind of the plot (that may also have involved Klan
leader Ron Edwards, the late Neuman Britton and a woman
named Lynn Baker), informs his Big Brother Master, and on
April 14, 1999, Kale Kelly is arrested at his job just a
few days before the assassination was to be carried out.
Kelly confesses but never implicates Redfeairn or apparently
anyone else in the murder scheme.
Hall also savages a man named Morris Gulett, who is the head of an outfit called the Church of the Sons of YHWH. Gulett is portrayed as an out-of-control crack user. It looks like this may be true as it made local news at the time that Gullet crashed his vehicle when leaving a park that was apparently notorious for drug dealing and use and anonymous homosexual encounters. It was reported that several crack rocks were found in Gulett's vehicle after the crash.
I found two quotes very interesting from Hall in the book:While working security at a public AN rally:
"Yet even so, the hate that I saw on the faces of the protesters was far worse than anything I had ever seen, even among the rank and file of AN. It was unnerving that racist speeches from a few individuals could transform a group of somewhat peaceful protesters into bloodthirsty animals.. Words had more power than I'd given them credit for." (Comment: Looks like Mr. Hall got a rude awakening as to the real nature of "love and tolerance" crowd!)Regarding his life almost a decade after finishing his snitch duties:
"I didn't emerge from this experience unscathed. I still experience panic attacks, and the constant bombardment of racial hatred that I had to endure during those years has subconsciously affected the way that I view Jews and people of color, lending credence to the old adage, 'When you dance with the devil, the devil doesn't change, the devil changes you.' I can only hope that, with time, I'll heal." (Comment: My guess is that Mr. Hall, like so many white Americans, harbored deep-seated racial thoughts and some negative thoughts about the Jews going into this whole thing. Like millions of others, he had consciously deluded himself into believing the Big Lie that all races are the same and the Jews are just wonderful people who make lots of money and have nothing but America's overall well-being at heart. But once around hardcore racists, those racial and anti-Jew beliefs that he'd repressed for so long came bubbling to the surface. And now that the racial Pandora is out of the box in Mr. Hall's mind, he'll never truly be able to suppress what he knows deep down to be true no matter how hard he may try. If Dave Hall wants to go back to believing the way he tells us he did before getting involved with AN... he'll need to blatantly lie to the most important person he knows... himself!)This book shows why you shouldn't be involved in ANY pro-white organizations, churches, fraternal orders, etc. if you're a race-conscious white. There are too many Dave Halls and Tym Burkeys just waiting for you to join and then possibly lead you into trouble. (A great example of this in the book is a man named "Vince Reed".)
Whatever vices Harold Ray Redfeairn may have had, the fact is it looks as though he was quite reckless in his associations and he and others around him had loose lips... and we all know what loose lips can do! This is why Leaderless Resistance is the ONLY way to go in 2009 and the foreseeable future. (The book also insinuates a possible plot to blow up the Earle Cabell Federal Building in Dallas but nothing comes of it.)In summation, I have to admit I found this to be an interesting read. Since we're dealing with a Fed and an informant as the authors here, one has to draw his or her own conclusions about what's true and what's a distortion or total bullshit. But it is a fascinating account nonetheless, and if you have a few hours to kill you could finish it in one day like I did. (It's 299 pages.)
Oh, one final thing I took from reading this book... don't be an idiot and advertise your weapons to anyone around you -- don't ever imply that you have an arsenal!!! In other words... SHUT UP!!!TT says: I never knew those mentioned in the book, but usually there is so much disinformation by all concerned as to make such sources undependable. They must picture white racists in the very worst light to sell more books. The informants must exaggerate their stories and keep adding more so called 'evidence'.
As far as vices, the right wingers, like all collections of people, have vices, and some are worse than others. Drug pushers tried to take over the California Klan which I ran for a few years. They murdered two of my men and put out a contract on me. Fortunately, I knew the guy they gave it to!I learned over the years that several 'movement' leaders had some very nasty habits. The highly respected Dr. Duke used to get his coke from Fred Wilkins, his Denver Klan leader, during so called 'skiing trips'.
As far as murder plots, isn't it strange that there are so many plots, yet none take place? I forget how many plots on Dees have been claimed, which is funny because anyone in the public circuit is easily taken out. But don't make that slimy bastard a martyr. Let him die a painful, natural, AIDS induced death. Then all the crap from both left and right will come out in main stream and guerilla media.If Martin Luther king had not been assassinated, his bizarre sexual habits would have become public knowledge, and by now people would be asking "King who?".
All of these books contain some truth, but they are so full of lies and exaggeration that I give the benefit of the doubt to our friends, or at least put them into a more favorable perspective.
