This is the latest post in what I half-jokingly call The Kimberlin Saga®. If you are new to the story, that’s okay! Not everyone reads my blog. The short version is that Kimberlin has been harassing me since last December, his worst conduct being when he attempted to frame me for a crime. I recognize that this might sound like an incredible claim, but I provide video and documentary evidence of that fact; in other words, you don’t have to believe my word. You only have to believe your eyes. So, if you are new to the story, go to this page and you’ll be able to catch up on what has been happening.
Update: This tweet seems to verify my theory as to the cause:
Short Version:increasing intensity of the threats + public reveal of our address by a Kimberlin-y nut = problem @aaronworthing @rsmccain

More as it develops.
My family is being forced to move because of the recent intimidation tactics used against us. More on this soon...

I have called and tweeted to him seeking a definitive statement about the cause. I will let you know if there is any definitive answer, but he would seem to be alluding to the recent threats of rape to himself and his wife by Occupyrebellion who is definitely a member of Team Kimberlin and the Liberal Grouch (see here and here). (Update: read where Patrick quotes LG's language and see if that sounds like a threat to you)
And of course he has been viciously attacked by Brooks Bayne’s crew for months.
In any case, while of course I do want you to donate to my Blogger’s Defense Team auction/raffle, I am honor-bound to promote Lee’s plea for a little financial help.

And remember folks, this is a sign we are winning. They would not resort to these kinds of tactics if they thought they were winning. This kind of lashing out is a sign of their ultimate impotence.
Update (II): Once again, Liberal Grouch doesn’t like being called on his own language. Here’s what I considered a rape threat:
But maybe it would be nice for a pro-rape asshole such as yourself to understand the fear a woman faces at the concept of rape.
How many men do you figure it would take to hold you down, Stranny.
I bet one could do it.
As I wrote the other day when Occupyrebellion was making threats against Lee:
Threats don’t have to be “I plan to do X to you” or “do this or I will do X.” For instance, in Virginia v. Black, the Supreme Court held that merely burning a cross on another person’s yard can be interpreted as a threat, given the historical meaning of the act. Twelve people of common sense can recognize that even if the magic words are not said, some words are intended as a threat. In other words, the law is not an idiot.
I think certainly speculating about how easy it would be to rape a person qualifies as a threat. That’s my opinion, my conclusion based on the facts which I cited. And just because there is cause to think LG himself can't carry it out, doesn't make it less of a threat. It just suggests he would have to recruit someone else to do it. And indeed Lee was concerned enough about this and other threatening conduct to abandon his home.
The fact is the Liberal Grouch and Occupyrebellion have slipped up. It is never wise to threaten another or to talk of harming another, even if you don’t mean it. Seth Allen learned this the hard way back in 2011 (he didn’t technically threaten, but he ruminated about harming Kimberlin), and now they are about to learn this as well. How long will Occupyrebellion remain anonymous now?
Tick, tick, tick, as Mr. Hoge is wont to say.
Update (III): I meant to say this in the post, but I will add it now. I spoke to Lee the other day about their claim that he was somehow “pro-rape.” I knew him and his accusers well enough to assume it was not true, but I had no idea how Orwellian the charge was. According to Lee, Occupyrebellion started accusing him of supporting rape when Lee was responding to the Akin “legitimate rape” controversy. By Lee’s telling all he did was point out how common actual rape is in the Occupy protests. So by his telling, he was not only not making a pro-rape comment, he was making an anti-rape comment (showing more concern for the real thing than someone's words about it), and their dissembling about the Occurape problem at best downplays a serious problem. Which is not the same as bring pro-rape on their part, but it is certainly not taking the issue as seriously as it deserves to be. Rape, as with any violence, should be a non-partisan issue.
My wife and I have lost our jobs due to the harassment of convicted terrorist Brett Kimberlin, including an attempt to get us killed and to frame me for a crime carrying a sentence of up to ten years. I know that claim sounds fantastic, but if you read starting here, you will see absolute proof of these claims using documentary and video evidence.

Disclaimer:
I have accused some people, particularly Brett Kimberlin, of reprehensible conduct. In some cases, the conduct is even criminal. In all cases, the only justice I want is through the appropriate legal process—such as the criminal justice system. I do not want to see vigilante violence against any person or any threat of such violence. This kind of conduct is not only morally wrong, but it is counter-productive.
In the particular case of Brett Kimberlin, I do not want you to even contact him. Do not call him. Do not write him a letter. Do not write him an email. Do not text-message him. Do not engage in any kind of directed communication. I say this in part because under Maryland law, that can quickly become harassment and I don’t want that to happen to him.
And for that matter, don’t go on his property. Don’t sneak around and try to photograph him. Frankly try not to even be within his field of vision. Your behavior could quickly cross the line into harassment in that way too (not to mention trespass and other concerns).
And do not contact his organizations, either. And most of all, leave his family alone.
The only exception to all that is that if you are reporting on this, there is of course nothing wrong with contacting him for things like his official response to any stories you might report. And even then if he tells you to stop contacting him, obey that request. That this is a key element in making out a harassment claim under Maryland law—that a person asks you to stop and you refuse.
And let me say something else. In my heart of hearts, I don’t believe that any person supporting me has done any of the above. But if any of you have, stop it, and if you haven’t don’t start.
Prayers to you all. Justice WILL come. The bad guys never win. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteThis sort of internet harassment goes beyond politics. I am a victim of this sort of harassment by the supporters of Alexandra Goddard, who claims to have uncovered the Big Red case and was also sued by one of the Football players when her group accused him of being the mastermind of the Rape. I too was accused of supporting rapists and am now being accused of stalking a rape victim as well as being accused of being a pedophile. Rather than engage in civilized debate, those who are involved in this particular case use cyber terrorism instead.
