The Brett Kimberlin Saga:

Follow this link to my BLOCKBUSTER STORY of how Brett Kimberlin, a convicted terrorist and perjurer, attempted to frame me for a crime, and then got me arrested for blogging when I exposed that misconduct to the world. That sounds like an incredible claim, but I provide primary documents and video evidence proving that he did this. And if you are moved by this story to provide a little help to myself and other victims of Mr. Kimberlin’s intimidation, such as Robert Stacy McCain, you can donate at the PayPal buttons on the right. And I thank everyone who has done so, and will do so.

EXCLUSIVE: Bill Schmalfeldt’s Newest Crime Against Me

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 for over a year, 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.

As of today, Bill Schmalfeldt’s (hereafter Señor Neckroll™) quest to get me disbarred (surely on behalf of his buddy Brett Kimberlin) has been upped to get me imprisoned on the charge of unauthorized practice of law.  He claims he has written to the Howard County States’ attorney (you know, the same office that told my teary-eyed wife that if we were afraid for our safety to stay out of Maryland) in a lie-filled email claiming I engaged in unauthorized practice.  And as you will see in a moment that is a problem... for Señor Neckroll™.  He claims he wrote the following:

In my own case, I can’t help but notice that Mr. Walker assisted Mr. Stranahan in the filling out of his Application for Statement of Charges. Comparing Mr. Walker’s application and his handwriting to Mr. Stranahan’s application, it is easy to see Mr. Walker’s handwriting on Mr. Stranahan’s application.

I honestly didn’t remember for certain if I gave any help at all to Stranahan.  This is what I do remember.  I saw Lee had one of their applications for charges filled out.  I remember asking him how he got that and he told me that he made a call to the commissioner’s office, and they sent it to him by mail.  I also remember when we were there noticing he didn’t have vital information like Señor Neckroll™’s age, approximate weight etc. filled out.  I remember offering to write that kind of information in, but I honestly don’t remember if he said he wanted me to do that.  If he asked, I surely would have done so to accommodate Mr. Stranahan.  But I don’t think he wanted me to.  I know I didn’t write a word of the substance: what Señor Neckroll™ did and when, and what crimes might have been committed as a result.  And that is not unauthorized practice of law.

How much is it not?  Well, for instance, when I filed my charges against Schmalfeldt, I had my own disability to accommodate.  I can write by hand in small amounts, but a large multi-page complaint requires accommodation due to my dysgraphia.  Sometimes the officials in question have let me simply write it on the computer and attach it to their official forms, but in Howard County, that day, they insisted on using their forms.  So the commissioner’s assistant offered to write it herself, by hand.  So I probably filled out the top parts at most—Señor Neckroll™ address, age, etc.—and she filed out the rest.  This woman was not herself a lawyer, so if filling out the form is unauthorized practice, the commissioner’s office will have to indict one of their own!

Anti-Gun Actress Indicted for Sending Pro-Gun Ricin Letters

Or: “Can I Call It or What?”

So apparently letters were being sent to President Obama, Mayor Bloomberg and his gun control group with ricin in them and with apparent pro-Second-Amendment ranting in the letters themselves:

The letter sent to Bloomberg -- and an additional one sent to a gun control group he founded -- contained what could be described as an overzealous pro-gun position.

"You will have to kill me and my family before you get my guns," the letters said, a law enforcement official told CNN. "Anyone wants to come to my house will be shot in the face. The right to bear arms is my constitutional God-given right and I will exercise that right 'til the day I die. What's in this letter is nothing compared to what I've got planned for you," the note inside each envelope said, according to the official.

CNN obtained a copy of the letter sent to mayors' gun control group, postmarked May 20 in Shreveport, Louisiana, and the wording matched the account provided by the law enforcement official.

The letter addressed to Obama that was intercepted Wednesday appeared similar to these letters.

BREAKING: Brett Kimberlin Associate Bill Schmalfeldt Plans to File An Abusive Ethics Complaint (Update: Unauthorized Practice by Schmalfeldt's Lawyer?)

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 for over a year, 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: Now as usual it turns comical.  Apparently the lawyer Schmalfeldt did consult with himself appears to be engaged in unauthorized practice of law—because his license is apparently suspended.  Jump to the end for details.

So sorry for the blog silence, but I have been very busy helping friends move out of their home.  They are frankly disabled and thus not able to do much of it themselves, and they didn’t have very much money so they got three burly guys to move all the really big things (couches, tables, beds, etc.) and then for the rest of it, I was the muscle.  Which if you have ever met me in real life you’d know that was a sign they were in trouble.  I do alright, but I am not exactly Schwarzenegger in his prime.  Heck, I probably not even as good as Ahnold today.

But in the meantime, Bill Schmalfeldt (who shall hereafter be called Señor Neckroll™) has gone off the deep end.  He has created not one, but two websites, dedicated to telling everyone how evil I am in terms that makes gives “ranting” a bad name.  The first is called (I kid you not) “@aaronworthing is a cowardly c*nt.”  And the second is a close mimic of the name of this site.  Neither will be linked, because I don’t want to risk exposure to viruses.  He is associated with criminal hackers, after all.

But the latest tirade is his claim that I have engaged in authorized practice of law in Maryland by 1) briefly giving Seth Allen legal advice on Maryland law while I was in physically in Virginia, and 2) appearing in Maryland on my own behalf to defend myself against Kimberlin’s various abusive filings in Kimberlin v. Allen.  Now, sharp-eyed readers might notice a certain familiarity with this.  This is because this is exactly the same complaint Kimberlin filed with the Virginia Bar which ultimately was dismissed out of hand.  I provided the Virginia Bar with all communications between myself and Seth Allen and all documents related to my appearances in Maryland fighting Kimberlin’s abusive motions and they found the following: 1) I didn’t engage in unauthorized practice of law in Maryland by giving Seth Allen legal advice, and 2) all of my appearances in Maryland courtrooms were on my own behalf and not on Mr. Allen’s.  Mind you, I said to you, dear reader, and the Virginia Bar Association that I hoped that what I filed might benefit Mr. Allen, but they were filed on my own behalf and were primarily designed to protect my own interests.

Bill Schmalfelt Threatens McCain and his Guilty Conscience Speaks Out

Update: Late tonight (6/18/13), I learned that serial copyright violator Bill Schmalfeldt intended to claim copyright on a Scribd document I have linked to in this post and another document I used in another post.  Of course he knows the claim is bogus.  I have uploaded .pdf copies of the posts in order to facilitate my telling of the news of what he said to my readers and to criticize what he wrote, without forcing them to risk viruses and other malware, given his association with the criminal hacker Neal Rauhauser.  This is all covered under fair use.  Further, we also know that Bill will not actually sue to take them down as the statute requires.  He might threaten, but all of his threats are empty.  He once said “I don’t make threats, I make promises.”  Maybe so, but those promises have been repeatedly broken.  He just wants to get a few days of taking them down for annoyance sake.

So I have segregated those documents to a separate Scribd account, in case he tries to gulag that account.  So if you want to see what he desperately doesn’t want you to see, go to this account.  I have also appropriately updated the link in the post.

This is a busy week in my personal life, but soon we will discuss further how Bill Schmalfeldt repeatedly violates the copyrights of others.  Apparently it is “copyright for me but not for thee” when it comes to him.  And indeed he interprets his own copyrights in such a manner that would infringe on freedom of the press—a right he pretends to care about.

We now resume the original post as is.

This is really just an update of the ragefest that has spewed from Schmalfeldt since his defeat this past Friday.  As you saw in the last installment, he threatened both myself and Hoge with retaliatory peace orders, and then when I pointed out how badly this would go for him—and how his legal threat to Hoge was ironically a violation of that peace order, which might net him over five years in prison and over $13,000 in fines—he bravely ran away.

BREAKING: Brett Kimberlin Ally Bill Schmalfeldt Threatens Me (and Mr. Hoge) With a Peace Order (Update: Schmalfeldt Bravely Runs Away!)

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 for over a year, 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: Bill Schmalfeldt is now bravely running away:




Ah, so he was being sarcastic, as indicated by... absolutely nothing he said at all.  He always has an excuse when he backs off these legal threats, doesn't he?  By the way, does this mean that Schmalfeldt also thinks that Brett Kimberlin's legal theory last year was unsound?  Funny, because he has yet to offer a single criticism of Kimberlin's behavior in that case.

Update (II): What prompted the change in heart?  I engage in educated speculation below.

So as I reported yesterday, Bill Schmalfeldt was found to have harassed John Hoge.  Specifically, the court found that Bill Schmalfeldt had continuously contacted Mr. Hoge after Mr. Hoge had asked him to stop, with hundreds of tweets including some that were downright offensive.  And this was after Schmalfeldt threatened to SWAT Mr. Hoge as well.

It is important also to note not just what the court said, but what the court didn’t say.  The court didn’t say that Schmalfeldt couldn’t talk about Mr. Hoge to a general audience.  He was repeatedly told that this was only about attempted contact with Mr. Hoge, and that the ruling left him free to write about Mr. Hoge all he wants.

Last night, I also noted what a hypocrite Bill Schmalfeldt had been in this, writing:

And of course all of this is incredibly hypocritical.  As regular readers know (and I detailed here) for almost a month I was forbidden by a peace order from writingabout Brett Kimberlin.  I had never contacted Kimberlin—except by mail to serve process as required by law (and after being advised by the court that I was allowed to do so)—but Kimberlin had claimed that merely writing about him on the internet to a general audience was the same as writing to him, in part because he set up google alerts to tell him when someone wrote something about him and he found some idiot judge willing to go along with that.  The judge held that merely saying something bad about Kimberlin on the internet was tantamount to inciting violence against Kimberlin—even though I specifically and repeatedly stated that I  wanted Kimberlin to only face legal consequences for his actions and specifically and repeatedly made it clear I did not want to see any violence come to him.  But in the mind of the judge, merely reporting (truthfully) bad things about him was enough to constitute incitement.  And in doing so the judge ignored binding Supreme Court precedent by name with the now-famous line “forget Brandenburg.”

That, my dear friends, would have been a serious threat to freedom of speech—to say that you cannot write anything negative about anyone else without being charged with incitement....

That principle, applied broadly would be the death of journalism.  It means that Jeffrey Skilling could suppress journalists writing about his malfeasance.  Indeed, by that logic, Richard Nixon could have enjoined Woodward and Bernstein from their famous reporting on him and perhaps even arrested them as I had been.  And did Schmalfeldt raise a peep in criticism of that ruling?  No.  In fact, it was shortly after that, that Schmalfeldt joined Team Kimberlin.

And as I noted in the post, this theory that writing about Kimberlin was equivalent to contacting Kimberlin was rejected by both the District Court and the Circuit court, and the District Court's ruling that I had incited violence by merely saying bad things about Kimberlin was quickly rejected on appeal.  In short, Judge Vaughey might have forgotten about Brandenburg v. Ohio, but Judge Rupp of the Montgomery County Circuit Court did not and appropriately ruled that my blogging about Brett Kimberlin was protected speech.  I just can’t communicate directly with Brett Kimberlin which I don’t believe I have ever knowingly done even once.

Well, today, Mr. Schmalfeldt wrote the following on twitter:

BREAKING: Bill Schmalfeldt is Officially Adjudicated a Harasser (Update: Schmalfeldt Reacts!) (Additional Updates)

Update (III): Late tonight (6/18/13), I learned that serial copyright violator Bill Schmalfeldt intended to claim copyright on a Scribd document I have linked to in this post and another document I used in another post.  Of course he knows the claim is bogus.  I have uploaded .pdf copies of the posts in order to facilitate my telling of the news of what he said to my readers and to criticize what he wrote, without forcing them to risk viruses and other malware, given his association with the criminal hacker Neal Rauhauser.  This is all covered under fair use.  Further, we also know that Bill will not actually sue to take them down as the statute requires.  He might threaten, but all of his threats are empty.  He once said “I don’t make threats, I make promises.”  Maybe so, but those promises have been repeatedly broken.  He just wants to get a few days of taking them down for annoyance sake.

Update: Bill Schmalfeldt is driven to talk to himself.  See below the fold.

Update (II): I went through and spiffed up the post in general to read better and look better, and to add a few details.  And I added a few more thoughts at the end.

So today was the latest hearing in the overall fight against Team Kimberlin.  As you might remember, John Hoge filed charges against Bill Schmalfeldt in February and sought a peace order based on harassment.  That peace order was denied, because Schmalfeldt lied about whether he received notice to stop, a crucial element in the offense of harassment.

Hoge filed a second peace order against Kimberlin and in that case, Judge Jones found that electronic harassment could not support a peace order as I reported, here.  By then, Hoge had filed for another peace order against Schmalfedt and Judge Green followed Jones' lead and dismissed the case without hearing evidence.

Zoa Barnes, Attorney
Today was the appeal of that first hearing, against Schmalfeldt, where the judge felt there wasn’t sufficient proof of notice.  This was a de novo appeal, so it meant that this was an entirely new hearing, although you could rely on admitted evidence from the prior hearing.  Mr. Hoge's attorney Zoa Barnes (pictured) used the prior admissions regarding Schmalfeldt's twitter accounts to help make her case.

In my February post, I accused Schmalfeldt of lying about receiving notice.  I said Schmalfeldt had tweeted out a link to the post on Hoge’s blog asking Schmalfeldt (and others) to cease all contact and Hoge just forgot to have that evidence with him.  Schmalfeldt, for his part, accused me of lying about him lying.

Well, today the evidence of his notice was submitted and not even objected to.  The court wasn’t asked to rule on whether he lied or not, but since previously Schmalfeldt claimed he hadn’t received notice and today the court found he did, you can draw your own conclusions.

Lawrence O’Donnell Claims to Know More About the Law Than the Supreme Court

As Obama is buffeted by wave after wave of scandal, some in the liberal media have been spinning to hilarious lengths.  In the IRS scandal the spinning is particularly hilarious.  As I have said online repeatedly, it takes a special breed of hack to say that the IRS did nothing wrong when their spokesperson admitted they had done something wrong and apologized for it (thus inviting them to be sued several times over).  So to any rational person, there is no question there is a scandal.  The only question is how bad it is.

Which is not to say we are anywhere near certain at this point in time that Obama did anything worse than improper oversight.  But as I have said, if Obama is involved, impeach him.  If he is not involved, “impeach” the IRS (that is abolish it or so limit it so that it can never do this sort of thing again).

Martin Bashir of course has gone to the tried and true claim of raaaacism:

The (Illegal) Surveillance State Has Arrived

I’ve been taking a brief hiatus from blogging, but I had to come back for this one.  And yes, this is a long one.

By now you all know what happened to James Rosen.  Here’s a decent summary if you haven’t heard.  But the short version is this.  A long time ago, Rosen reported on a story based on a leak of information.  Now, to leak classified information to a reporter is a crime.  But it is not a crime to receive such leaks.  Or until now, anyway.  In an affidavit, the Obama administration decided that Rosen was likely a co-conspirator or aider and abettor based on little more than the fact Rosen received a leak. They even declared him a flight risk.  So they got access to his emails, phone records, tracked his movements in and out of the State Department and even checked his parents’ phone records.  And they did similar things to two other reporters.  And the AP in an unrelated case.

Well, thanks to Glenn Greenwald we found out yesterday that we are all James Rosen now*:

The National Security Agency is currently collecting the telephone records of millions of US customers of Verizon, one of America's largest telecoms providers, under a top secret court order issued in April.

The order, a copy of which has been obtained by the Guardian, requires Verizon on an "ongoing, daily basis" to give the NSA information on all telephone calls in its systems, both within the US and between the US and other countries.

The document shows for the first time that under the Obama administration the communication records of millions of US citizens are being collected indiscriminately and in bulk – regardless of whether they are suspected of any wrongdoing.

The secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (Fisa) granted the order to the FBI on April 25, giving the government unlimited authority to obtain the data for a specified three-month period ending on July 19.

Under the terms of the blanket order, the numbers of both parties on a call are handed over, as is location data, call duration, unique identifiers, and the time and duration of all calls. The contents of the conversation itself are not covered.

...

While the order itself does not include either the contents of messages or the personal information of the subscriber of any particular cell number, its collection would allow the NSA to build easily a comprehensive picture of who any individual contacted, how and when, and possibly from where, retrospectively.

It is not known whether Verizon is the only cell-phone provider to be targeted with such an order, although previous reporting has suggested the NSA has collected cell records from all major mobile networks. It is also unclear from the leaked document whether the three-month order was a one-off, or the latest in a series of similar orders.

Do read the whole thing.  As I said on Twitter, I disagree with him a lot but this is an extremely well-written and necessary report.  Since he is an American at least by birth, I can say it is a patriotic thing he has done in this reporting.

So consider this.  First, every call you have made to or from a Verizon cell phone has been collected.  Consider the implications of that.  If you called a clergyman, they know.  If you called a psychiatrist, they know.  If you called a gay bar, they know.  If you called a phone sex line, they know.  If you called your lawyer, they know.

Worse than that, they know where you are at least when you made that call.  The Supreme Court recently stated that it violated the Fourth Amendment to track a person by GPS.  Well, they tracked all of us.

For instance, if you went to church on a certain day and as is often the case you received a call while the minister was giving his sermon, they know you were in that church and are likely an adherent to that religion.  I admit I don’t lay awake at night worried that someone will find out I am a Presbyterian who often goes to my wife’s Catholic church, but there is a historical reason for being concerned about the government identifying what faith a person belongs to.



The same applies if you were at a porn store when you received the call.  Or a gay bar.  Or just at a psychiatrist’s receiving help.

Or a political meeting.  I don’t worry overly much about the government knowing about my politics (seriously, it’s not a secret), but that doesn’t mean no one ever has a right to keep their political associations secret.  For instance, in NAACP v. Alabama (1958), under the banner of investigating possible communist infiltration of the NAACP, the state of Alabama asked for the NAACP to disclose its membership lists.  The Supreme Court had long established the right to freely associate as an important First Amendment protection.  In other words, the ability to gather together to advance your agenda is an important right.  Where would we be if those who want to protect Constitutional Rights couldn’t gather together as the ACLU or the NRA?  Or if those who wanted to advocate for women’s rights couldn’t form NOW?  And it’s not limited associations with a political agenda: where would we be without the ability to form the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts?

And here, the Supreme Court quite wisely recognized that even if the state of Alabama had no intent to suppress the NAACP (right!), if the NAACP was forced to reveal who their members were, it might lead to the intimidation of those members and a chilling of new memberships.  Or to put it plainly, the KKK might frakking kill them, and that might scare off new people from joining because they don’t want to be killed.  So the NAACP was allowed to refuse to turn over that information.

Except now if you receive a call while at an NAACP meeting, the government will know you are a member.  Admittedly the NAACP doesn’t have a lot to fear in relation to revealing its membership these days, but rights do not disappear just because the immediate danger they protect against had passed.
