Todd A. Blodgett’s “Republican Crackhead” is a Valuable Resource on Modern American Extremism

Can someone serve the FBI, America’s leading federal agency, for investigating cyberattacks and intrusions while being addicted to the intensity and euphoria of cocaine? Not everyone would be given such an opportunity, but author Todd A. Blodgett could do it concurrently. In his memoir “Republican Crackhead: An Addict’s Life in the FBI and DC’s Hoods, while infiltrating HATERS,” Todd tells a real-life story about addiction, hope, and recovery. It also touches on political violence and American extremism.

Todd A. Blodgett, who was 24 then, was the youngest member of the Reagan-Bush White House staff when he entered the Reagan administration. Later, Todd worked for the FBI, the Republican National Committee, and the first President Bush. He worked as a full-time, paid, professional FBI informant assigned to monitor the HATE movement and its top echelon for nearly three years.

Books about racism, anti-Semites, former bigots, and violent skinheads have been published and turned into movies, but facts about a Republican crackhead have never gathered equal attention. Unfortunately, Nazism didn’t end with Hitler, and violence from organized hatred persists. “Republican Crackhead” explains why such crimes happen and what society must do about them. Todd wrote his book to warn his readers against what he put himself through, hoping to prevent them from becoming haters and drug addicts.

BlueInk Review describes Todd’s book as a memorable anecdote, praising it for its heartfelt and relatable descriptions of addiction and detailed information about his views on extremist politics and extremism in America. [i]“Blodgett’s chronicle of his bizarre journey could be a valuable resource for students of American extremism,”[/i] BlueInk Review stated.

Todd A. Blodgett served under former President Reagan’s administration as one of the youngest White House staff members. During the years he worked for the F.B.I., infiltrating and monitoring neo-Nazis, K.K.K. members, Holocaust deniers, well-funded Bigots, and organized, professional anti-Semites, now-retired F.B.I. informant Todd Blodgett was addicted to crack cocaine. He has been drug-free since 2006. The life that Blodgett survived makes ’Breaking Bad,’ ’The Sopranos,’ ’The West Wing’ and ’The Wire,’ look like ’Little House on the Prairie.’

His work for the bureau as a full-time, paid informant has been described in numerous publications - including The Washington Post; the Huffington Post; The Des Moines Register; U.S.A. Today, The Wall Street Journal, The National Enquirer, and other tabloids and magazines. Mr. Blodgett’s work has also been included in broadcasts of NBC NIGHTLY NEWS, C.B.S.
