Listen now: One Segment This program analyzes the possible political significance of Mark Fuhrman’s move to Sandpoint, Idaho. This tiny town (population 5,200) has become an epicenter of the white-supremacist movement. Louis Beam (widely viewed as the de facto leader of the Aryan Nations) moved there at about the same time as Fuhrman and owns […]
We’ve been covering the circumstances surrounding the murders of a Texas DA and his wife. Now, we learn that some corrections officers have been colluding with elements of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas. One thing that suggests itself is the possibility that field intelligence communicated by corrections officers in league with the white supremacists may have been used in the killings.

A “colonel” (allegedly with the U.S. Air Force) successfully negotiated with leading electronics firms to procure some of their ‘leading edge” technologies.
