Throwing a Spotlight on Brett Kimberlin and Other Occupy-Linked Terrorists at Occupy the Truth

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.  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.

Hey, folks, it’s time for original reporting!

So as anyone following me on Twitter knows by now (handle: @AaronWorthing), I was in the audience at Jim Hoft’s and Andrew Marcus’s Occupy the Truth rally in Cleveland, Ohio this past Saturday.

The basic idea behind it was pretty easy to understand.  You can read their official documents for yourself, but I think I get it.  For years the mainstream media has portrayed the Tea Party as scary and potentially violent.  The bias involved was apparent from the start.  As I noted long before Occupy came on the scene, every time the G8, G4, or whatever met, you could expect liberal protesters to riot like clockwork, but they were not portrayed as scary, violent, dangerous, and so on, as the Tea Party had been when they showed up later.  But the double standard became even clearer when the Occupy protests began and we saw outbreaks of rapes in their camps and more disturbingly the prevalence of terrorists within their movement.  As I have written before, there are ten alleged or convicted terrorists connected to Occupy.  Indeed just a few weeks ago, Anthony Hayne pled guilty to attempted terrorism.  And certainly the attack on the Family Research Council—or as I like to call it, “The Hate Crime of Tolerance”—has only highlighted the truly dangerous streak on the left that the mainstream media tends to ignore.

This is not to say liberalism is wrong or bad because of these outbreaks of violence.  I find little of value in liberal philosophy, but not based on that.  I have said before that I believe there has to be a strong relationship between the ideology and the violence inspired by it, before you can denounce a viewpoint has being “violent.”  American racism, for instance, led directly to terrorist acts like the 16^th Street bombing; islamofascism leads to violence against "infidels" including Muslims who do not follow that philosophy.  While there seems to be a lot of violence in the modern protest left, I don’t think their causes inherently promote violence the way that racism and islamofascism tends to promote violence, although I could be wrong.  But there is certainly a violence problem in the left’s protest culture that has to be weeded out, there is a rape problem, and there is a terrorism problem

And of course this hits closer to home for me because one of those on the list of Occupy-connected terrorists is Brett Kimberlin.  Regular readers know that this man has been stalking and harassing me and other conservative writers for over a year, including attempting to frame me for a crime and even attempting to get my wife and I killed.

And if you didn’t know that, welcome to the site!  I don’t expect everyone in the world to have read about my story, but let me start to introduce you to it with this video:

Occupy-Linked Man Pleads Guilty to Attempted Act of Terrorism

On Friday, I pointed out that there were ten alleged or convicted terrorists linked to the Occupy movement.  I mentioned this to expose the double standard being applied to the Tea Party.  Occupy has never been portrayed as “scary” or “violent” and yet they have ten alleged or convicted terrorists connected to their movement (including one man whose continuing criminal conduct I have covered extensively) as well more than fourteen rapes in their camps.  By contrast, if any Tea Party member had ever committed a violent act, I hadn’t heard of it (and we know we would have heard of it), and yet between the two, the Tea Party was the one being stereotyped as filled with violent people.  The media bias had never been clearer.

Well in that breakdown, only two were convicted terrorists and eight were merely alleged to be terrorists, on Friday.  And as of today, we can add one more to the list of convicted terrorists: Anthony Hayne.  Here’s a picture of the terrorist on the right.

Today we learn that Mr. Hayne has pled guilty to the Cleveland bridge plot.  But hey, just because he is a convicted terrorist doesn’t mean he is a bad person!  Here, let’s allow his lawyer to explain:

"I don't think any of these guys intended harm to human beings," [Hayne’s Attorney, Michael] O'Shea said. "I think they just thought this was a way of making some sort of political statement. But I'm relatively confident none of these people had any desires to actually hurt anybody."

Of course in the same article we get further details of the bomb plot and bluntly it is a misnomer to call it a “bomb plot.”  The correct term is “attempted act of terrorism:”

The five were charged with plotting to bomb a bridge linking two wealthy Cleveland suburbs by placing what they thought were real explosives at the site and repeatedly trying to detonate them using text messages from cellphones, according to the FBI affidavit.

The FBI said the suspects bought the explosives — actually fake — from an undercover employee and put them at the base of a highway bridge over the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, about 15 miles south of downtown Cleveland.

After leaving the park, they tried to initiate the explosives using a text-message detonation code, and they called the person who provided the bombs to check the code when it failed, according to the FBI affidavit.

So they actually placed what they thought was a bomb on the bridge and then tried to detonate it, according to the FBI, but Hayne’s lawyer has the nerve to say that his client didn’t desire to hurt anyone.  Well, then that is a confession that his client is one of the dumbest people alive, because no reasonable person would think that destroying a bridge would be a safe act.  And since the law presumes you intended to bring about the obvious consequences of your actions, these men should also be charged with attempted murder on the state level, among other charges.

And for the love of God, please charge these guys on the state level.  That way if the Feds completely drop the ball in terms of justice, you will have a second chance in the state courts to get it right.

And finally, the next time the media rushes to blame an act of violence on the Tea Party, you can remember Occupy’s ties to domestic terrorism—with now three convicted and seven accused domestic terrorists so far.  To be blunt, you are more likely to be blown up by a member of Occupy than the Tea Party.

Now that all being said, remember that the other four men allegedly involved in this attempted terrorism are innocent until proven guilty.  Admittedly that is complicated by the fact that Mr. Hayne has pled guilty to a plot involving the other four, but in fairness they are still innocent until proven guilty.

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.  If you would like to donate and help my wife and I in this time of need, please go to this donation page.  And thank you.

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.  As you will see by the time I am done telling my story 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.

Another Liberal who Calls Tea Partiers Racist, Proves to be a Racist

Of course this time we are talking about Bill Maher.  Yeah, color me shocked that this professional asshole is a racist.  I mean I admit sometimes he is a funny asshole, but still an asshole.

First mediaite gives us this charming commentary:

But the biggest fireworks came when Maher was asked if there are racist overtones to Obama hate. His answer (“Yes, Larry, it’s extremely racist”) should surprise no one, and his follow-up zing was classic Maher:

“It’s funny, ’cause the teabaggers – the one thing they hate: when you call them racist. The other thing they hate is black people.

And actually they hate massive debt and democratic totalitarianism.  But you wouldn’t understand that.  So, let me explain it in terms you can understand, Bill.  If Obamacare is upheld then the government would have every right to ban the orgies you allegedly* have at the playboy mansion on a regular basis because it would drive up health care costs for the rest of us when you and the playmates catch the clap.

The Jackie Robinson Theory of the Obama Presidency

Ever since Obama has become president there has been a hyperracialization of every issue of mere politics.  The climax came for me when I went to the Tea Party protest down at the Capital.  I’ll post more on it later, but when I got home I started hearing claims of some kind of racial incident.  You can recognize intellectually that politicians are liars, but to hear them lying about you is another matter, a real baptism.  And it made me try to understand where this was all coming from.

Now some of it is pure hucksterism.  There is no two ways about it.

But there is also an honest, albeit mistaken, belief that this is a racial issue.  And I think I figured out why so many liberals have been seeing it that way.  I call it the Jackie Robinson Theory of the Obama presidency.

The Fallacy of Assuming Everyone Thinks Like You (or “Fisking Keith Olbermann”)

Yeah, several posts ago I wondered if it was necessary to fisk Olbermann, but I am compelled to, here.

But first let me tell you a story.  Now I have said that I support affirmative action in a limited sort of way, based on the present reality of racism and other forms of bigotry.  And I remember saying that once in a Constitutional History class back when I was an undergraduate and a man vehemently disagreed with me that racism was a real problem.  He said something like this:

I don’t think racism is so bad.  At my fraternity, a black guy wanted to join.  And one guy said we shouldn’t let him join because he was black.  So I stood up and said that the fact he was black didn’t matter.  And we voted to let him in.

That’s a paraphrase, of course.  And this is what I said in response.

Captain America Hates the Tea Party Movement

Yes, really.
