I have a hearing tomorrow so I
won’t be able to say very much about any of these, but I wanted to point you
toward some important links worth reading.
First, if you are interested in
the Kimberlin Saga, go to Hogewash and keep reading. In fact, this link aggregates all of
his posts related to Kimberlin. Use it
often.
But a few posts to call particular
attention to. First, you might ask “what
hearing is tomorrow?” Well, it is about
the motion that Mr. Hoge discloses here.
In addition to that, Hoge has been
investigating Kimberlin’s organizations and has found strong
evidence of shenanigans in regards to his tax filings. It is not a slam dunk, but it is certainly
suspicious.
And for sheer chutzpah,
apparently Kimberlin and his organization believes themselves to be First
Amendment heroes. You might have heard
about P*ssy Riot (name slightly censored), the Russian punk band who was
arrested for “hooliganism” for
staging a protest against Putin. By
the news reports I have read, this seems like a valid free speech issue.
And Kimberlin and company have
created a Pussy Riot advocacy fund. They
consider it a great injustice that P*ssy Riot is “languishing in prison for exercising
their universal right to free expression.”
This is said by an organization run by a man who had me arrested for having exercised my right to freedom of
expression. Brett Kimberlin doesn’t
respect freedom of expression in the slightest and certainly doesn’t mind
attempting to criminalize disagreement.
No, what this is, is a
transparent attempt to latch on to a popular issue to raise money. None of the money goes to P*ssy Riot or their
defense, but to “raise awareness” of their plight. So in fact well-intentioned people, not
reading his fine print, might think they are contributing to P*ssy Riot’s defense
when it actually goes to this convicted terrorist and perjurer. And by siphoning off money that could go to
directly helping these women, Kimberlin is actually harming their cause. They don’t need an anti-free-speech thug to “raise
awareness” for them, they need money for their defense.
You can read about this entire
scummy affair, here.
Finally, and perhaps most
importantly, Patrick
Frey, aka “Patterico” has been sued by Kimberlin ally Nadia Naffe, almost certainly
an abusive suit. I will talk more when I
have gathered more information about it.
