Fifteen years ago, the FBI gave me an envelope with $1,000 in it. They asked me to size up Rick Tyler who just moved to Tennessee from Georgia.
Easy money.
Waited until Friday evening to drive to Rick's new restaurant. Sat down, ordered fish and chips. Catholics eat fish on Fridays as a tradition due to the prohibition on eating meat on that day.
Of course I was given intelligence on Rick and his family. Deeply religious. Long story short, spent a delightful two hours talking with Rick and his wife about current events, politics, what not.
My report to the FBI was the Tylers were a proud White family, no danger to anyone. He will eventually run for office. He is not worth keeping track of.
Mr. Tyler will never know what I did for him. He moved his family out of Georgia because the FBI was harassing him.
I told the Tennessee FBI to leave him alone.
Fifteen years later, no incidents. And Mr. Tyler can be free to speak his mind.
On the other side, I told every White Nationalist in his Congressional district to support him.
I will like to see Mr. Tyler win in 2026. I think he will make a fine Tennessee Congressman.
