I don’t think your example supports that. “Group leader was formerly an informant for both the FBI and local law enforcement” does not indicate “FBI planted him as group leader”.

White supremacy is one deranged belief system that does not require entrapment to secure convictions.

What kind of white supremacist group has Jewish chapters in Israel?

in fact it may be so deranged that it just might turn out that it barely exists—if at all—in a meaningful way, at least, beyond the confines of intelligence agency-backed crimes!
