                    DATELINE: KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE

   A gathering of over 2,000 right-wing extremists in Knoxville, 
Tennessee, was infiltrated by yours truly.  After seeing an 
advertisement for "Cornette's Militia" to be appearing at the 
Knoxville Civic Center, we purchased tickets to the violence inspired 
get-together.  These crack reporters can only speculate that the funds 
generated by these ticket sales are used to further arm and equip this 
private army. 

   The leader of Cornette's Militia, is self-proclaimed "General" Jim 
Cornette.  Appearing in a helmet with four stars and camoflauge, his 
attire was decorated with many medals and awards.  Cornette was 
accompanied by his top lieutenant, Tommy Rich.  Also in attendance, 
were Terry Gordy (who openly brags of his "power-bomb"), Al Snow, and 
two unknown bodyguards known only as "The Punisher" and "Una-bomb." We 
are currently trying to determine if our sources are correct in that 
"Una-bomb" helped construct the 500-mega-ton truck-bomb with Timothy 
McVeigh to destroy the federal building in Oklahoma City and kill 
innocent, law-abiding, completely trustworthy, non-racist ATF and FBI 
agents. 

   We were surprised to see that this Militia gathering had huge 
support by the 2,000 attendees who paid to see "General" Cornette 
verbally assault his detractors.  It went as far as for Cornette is 
sic his large, musclular militia-members on some of the brave 
individuals speaking out against their hatred.  To our shock, the 
attendees cheered as these militiamen struck the innocent non-
culturally biased people.  To our horror, the attendees cheered even 
louder as the militia picked up chairs to flail the outspoken people.  
As the bloody, beaten victims crawled from the center stage, roars of 
support for the militia errupted.  We were sure that we would be next 
as we feared for our very lives sitting in the middle of the violent 
pro-milita crowd. 

   Thankfully our federally-funded training in inflitration kept our 
identities hidden from the dim-witted pro-militia mob, and we quietly 
slipped from the building. 

   Back at our hotel room, we turned on the television to relax. To 
our dismay, there was Cornette's Militia!  We quickly deduced that the 
company known as "Smokey Mountain Wrestling," is really a front 
organization to promote the Cornette Militia.  SMW gives an extreme 
amount of time and attention to the militia-members to express their 
warped beliefs on their syndicated television show.  "General" Jim 
Cornette frequently appears in his battle garb denouncing all those 
that oppose him or his beliefs.  SMW secretly supports Cornette and 
his private army.  A former militia-member, Buddy Landell, has 
informed us that SMW actually pays Cornette and the militia for their 
appearances and actively promotes and advertises their extremist 
beliefs. 

   The Anti-Defamation League is sending this Special Report to all 
law enforcement agencies in Tenneessee and surrounding states. A copy 
will also be sent to the ATF, FBI, and DoJ.  It is hoped that through 
our dilligent effort that this radical armed group will be stopped 
quickly.  Our inside informer has already told us that Cornette's 
Militia, through their front group of SMW, is and has expanded to 
several surrounding states, including West Virginia, North Carolina, 
Kentucky, and Alabama. 

   Because of our insider's information, Buddy Landell was violently 
attacked by Cornette's Militia in Barboursville, Kentucky.  He 
suffered many lacerations and had to seek hospitalization. We have 
refered Mr. Landell to attorney, Morris Dees.  Mr. Dees, of the 
Southern Poverty Law Center, will seek criminal and civil charges 
against "General" Jim Cornette and each member of his militia. 

   It should also be noted that when the militia found out about this 
report, "Una-bomb" has went into hiding.  It is believed that he is 
being moved between pro-militia "safe houses" and is working on 
another act of explosive terrorism. 

   To help continue our very dangerous mission to expose these violent 
right-wing radicals, we need your help!  It takes a considerable 
amount of funds to gather this type of information. Please send your
