Vile: Brett Kimberlin’s Manipulation of His Daughter

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: Please note that I have removed the first name of Ms. Kimberlin at her request and left only her first initial, "T." She is, after all, a victim of sexual abuse and those kinds of reasonable requests will be honored.  While the moral right to privacy of rape victims is not absolute, it seems to be reasonably asserted here.]

 So on Monday we saw the latest round of Brett Kimberlin v. T. Kimberlin.  Both were seeking a protective order against the other.  Brett was technically seeking a protective order against T. on behalf of their children—not supposedly on his own behalf—on the theory that T. abused her daughters.  T. sought a protective order on the theory that Brett had abused her—in part by his statutory rape of her at a young age.  There was a lot that was interesting that happened in the hearing.  A lot of the smaller details will be covered in future posts, but this post will give you a good overview.

The first piece of news was that this time T. had counsel.  Zoa Barnes who previously represented John Hoge in his peace orders against Brett Kimberlin and Bill Schmalfeldt was able to represent T. that day.  John had told me that he selected Zoa Barnes for his cases because she was a family lawyer and thus brought that perspective to the table.  And she quite handily shut Brett Kimberlin down previously.  So when T. looked for a recommendation for an attorney, Zoa was the natural choice.

Who Framed Seth Allen?

[Update: Please note that I have removed the first name of Ms. Kimberlin at her request and left only her first initial, “T.” She is, after all, a victim of sexual abuse and those kinds of reasonable requests will be honored.  While the moral right to privacy of rape victims is not absolute, it seems to be reasonably asserted here.] 

Well, "framed" is maybe too strong a word, but let’s review, shall we?  In one of my previous posts, I discussed how Brett Kimberlin seems obsessively focused on anyone who is “intolerant” of pedophilia, including myself, Patrick Frey, Mandy Nagy, Lee Stranahan and so on.  In particular Brett Kimberlin reacts badly when you (accurately) suggest he is a pedophile, or just call him one outright as I have been ever since I spoke with his wife, T.  And when Brett Kimberlin gets angry at someone, while one cannot exactly predict his behavior, one can predict that he will 1) act out 2) in a way that does him more material harm than good.  He is predictable in that respect.

But there was one example of someone accusing him of pedophilia that I left out, because it is, well... complicated.  It revolves around the early days of the Seth Allen case.  I learned of this story after the fact from friends, but what happened was Allen basically attacked Kimberlin in terms that was already established fact, or reported things that were stated in prominent books, newspapers, etc.  He truly didn’t defame Brett Kimberlin because everything he said was either 1) true, or 2) previously reported by other sources.

But then what happened is that people started faking more potentially defamatory comments under Seth Allen’s name, or his various well known internet personas.  And among them was the accusation that Brett was a pedophile.  I always suspected Rauhauser was behind this, or someone acting on his urging.  But yes, you are reading that right, folks: Seth Allen was falsely accused of accurately accusing Brett of being a pedophile.  It was meta.

We always assumed that whoever did this—whether it is Rauhauser or not—did so with Brett Kimberlin’s knowledge and approval.  In other words, I always assumed that Brett’s claim that Seth called him a pedophile was in fact a fraud upon the court—that Brett Kimberlin knew Seth didn’t write any such thing.

But recently I have begun to wonder: what if Brett really thought Seth wrote it.  What if he really, sincerely believed that the accusations of pedophilia were coming from Seth Allen, even though they didn’t?

We often call Rauhauser a “confict cupid” meaning that he liked to try to find ways to make friends or potential allies argue among themselves.  Maybe the Kimberlin v. Allen suit was Neal Rauhauser’s greatest success as “conflict cupid.”  He knew that nothing angered Brett Kimberlin more than truthfully being called a pedophile, so maybe he planted that fake comment accusing him of it, in order to drive Brett Kimberlin into acting against Seth, knowing his instincts would backfire on him.  Maybe he was even wise enough to guess that people like myself would come to Seth’s aid, fuelling Kimberlin’s paranoid belief in a massive conspiracy against him, when in fact the entirety of the alliance against him was created by his own conduct starting with what he did to Seth and gaining ground when he victimized me.  Maybe Rauhauser was hoping all along for something like this to happen to Brett.

Or maybe Rauhauser’s plan succeeded beyond his wildest dreams.

And why would Rauhauser do that?  Why would he want to have caused all this trouble in Brett Kimberlin’s life?  The answer is simple: to justify his own employment.  He created a need for Brett Kimberlin.  He made Brett feel the need to thuggishly attempt to suppress the truth and then he fulfilled it, and was more than likely paid handsomely for his trouble.  So the irony of all of this is that Brett Kimberlin now faces the very real prospect of going back to prison and being forever labeled a pedophile, because Neal Rauhauser goaded him into an unwise fight with Seth Allen that he then saw spin (predictably) out of control.

Mind, you this is just a theory, but it is one that fits the facts.

Will the Pedophile Brett Kimberlin finally have a “George Costanza” Moment?

Of course most people know that George Costanza is one of the main characters on the classic sitcom Seinfeld, generally believed to be a stand in for Larry David who ended up having his own show later.  George is kind of a loser who, in one of the most memorable episodes of the series, ever (which is really saying something for that show) comes to an epiphany.  If you can watch it, it is funnier to see it than for me to describe:

The Pedophile Brett Kimberlin’s “Brass Knuckle Romance.”

A few weeks back, Bill Schmalfeldt called my wife, who is an Asian-American woman, a mail-order bride.  This was, of course, a racist attack on my wife and I appropriately called him out for it.  I didn’t find my wife in a catalog or on a dating or marriage site.  I met her at a Whole Foods in Falls Church near my apartment at the time.  Really it was serendipity that I met her because everyone who knows me knows I am really not a Whole Foods kind of guy.

And over at a site that I won’t link to, Brett Kimberlin leapt to Schmalfeldt’s defense.  Of course he didn’t identify himself as Brett, but we all know it was him.  And as is often the case, his defense revealed more about himself than anything else.

First, he tried to dispute that calling an Asian American woman a mail-order bride in this day and age was not racist.  We will take that assertion as seriously as it deserves to be.

But then he goes into why a man would want a mail order bride and this is the revealing part.  Here is what he wrote:

I think today the mail order bride business is still a booming trade. Many men who use these services do so because they want women who are subservient to them and their needs. They want cooks, people to take care of them, and sex partners. Usually this service is used by men who can’t seem to get anyone in their own cultures who will “put up with them” and the men who utilize such services want a woman who won’t question them, who are younger, and who provide for them all just to be able to get a green card. I think it is telling of course that Walker couldn’t get an American woman to “put up with him” and sought a woman who would worship him instead. Nothing bad about that mind you, but it is telling of course.

Now, T. Kimberlin is not a mail order bride.  Brett didn’t pick her out of a catalog, or even on some dating or marriage site.  Instead he met her on a beach in Ukraine when she was fourteen (shiver).  And then he transported her to Maryland when she was fifteen where they had sex in violation of Maryland law.  Then he got married to her when she was sixteen, and again he failed to comply with Maryland law, forging her birth certificate to make her appear to be eighteen years old.  That is not a mail order bride by any stretch of the imagination.  It is instead the abusive seduction of a child.

But Brett Kimberlin and his friends often called her a mail order bride, regardless.  And so if Brett Kimberlin thought of her as one, well, what does that reveal about him when he talks about this trade that he considers himself to be intimately involved in?  Read what he wrote again, remembering that he (wrongly) thought of T. as his mail order bride.  Let me clear out some of the clutter.  According to Kimberlin men use this service because “they want women who are subservient to them and their needs.”  They want servants: “cooks, people to take care of them, and sex partners.”  These services are used by men who have trouble convincing American women (who might have heard of the Speedway Bombings) to “put up with them” and they want a woman “who won’t question them.”  Indeed he declares that such women will “worship him.”

Oh, and Brett informs us that people seek mail order brides in order to get girls “who are younger.”  Shiver.

That is probably the fantasy for such men (except the pedophilic angle, one hopes), but it cannot be reality.  I suspect that the majority of true mail order brides are women who are planning to dump their American partners the moment they have their citizenship.  Being a mail order bride is just a more exotic version of gold-digging, which in all bluntness is a higher class form of prostitution and often the gold digger leaves once he or she gets their payday, be it in cash or in kind.  Worship is probably not induced by such an arrangement, but I wouldn’t be surprised if such women fake it.

But a girl too immature to handle a sexual relationship being seduced into marriage with a much older man?  That can produce genuine worship.

However, worship is not the foundation for a solid relationship.  Instead you must have mutual respect and love.  Which is why today my marriage is solid despite the strain Brett has tried to put on it, and Brett’s is falling apart, because for Brett his relationship was about control.  Like with everything else in life, he doesn’t seek to influence others by kindness but by bullying others, including his own wife.  And just as he has failed at every stage to see how his bullying of me (and others) did not help to suppress the truth about him, he failed to understand how his bullying of his wife destroyed his marriage more surely than anything she did in response.  You do not convince a person to come back to you by trying to get them falsely imprisoned or by threatening violence against them.  At most it only might work temporarily.

In the end, Brett Kimberlin has a stunted view of life.  For him it is all about controlling that which could hurt him whether it is an attorney who has absolute proof Brett tried to frame him for a crime...

...or seducing an underage girl to be his wife so he can overwhelm her personality, and then lashing out at her viciously when she wakes up from his spell.  His pain is normal, but his response is not.  The only thing he knows how to do in response to pain, fear, etc. is to lash out, to abuse the person he blames for this pain (which is often in truth self-inflicted) through the court system and hope to silence the critics and bring his wife back home. 

In other words, when it comes to myself, Seth Allen, Robert Stacy McCain, Patrick Frey, Popehat, Lee Stranahan and Mandy Nagy (and others) he has practiced what has been described as “brass knuckle reputation management.”  And when it came to his wife, he has been practicing brass knuckle romance.

And both tactics have been equally successful.

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.

So Why is the Pedophile Brett Kimberlin Mad at Us, Really?

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.

Well, let’s see if we can find a common thread among his enemies, shall we?  First up, we have James O’Keefe III.  Unlike a lot of his targets, he hasn’t been hitting back very much, but he was an early target of Kimberlin’s as I mentioned here.

And why was that?  On its face it was because Brett Kimberlin was offended that James O’Keefe recorded people without their consent.  But hidden camera investigations occur all the time.  Why did he focus on this one?  Here watch it again:

For the Pedophile Brett Kimberlin It’s All About the Kids

Of course over the last week we have seen the revelation that Brett Kimberlin is, in fact, a pedophile.  I base that on having spoken to his wife and having heard her story first-hand, in conjunction with all of the evidence.  I know you haven’t benefitted from having met her and watched her over time describing what he had done to her, but I have and I am convinced.

So it is worth going back and remembering just how often Brett said it was about the kids.

For instance, on November 14, 2011, Brett Kimberlin claimed that Seth Allen was interfering with his charities by truthfully calling him a terrorist, liar and so on.  Also he falsely accused Seth of accusing him truthfully of being a pedophile, which is kind of meta when you think about it.  So this was how he described his organizations:

I have two organizations, Justice Through Music, which has been in business for about 10 years. The executive director is Jeff Cohen (phonetic sp.). And it’s a Bethesda based operation, and we work with young people, mostly, to get them involved with voting. We’ve registered tens of thousands of kids to vote. And we get them involved with social causes.  We work with very famous artists and bands and get them talking to kids abut the importance of getting involved with the world and so on and so forth.

Early in the Kimberlin saga I started moderating every comment on this blog.  This was because Team Kimberlin would try to abuse the comment system in various ways.  But there was one comment, to this post, I held in the queue, for another reason.  “Dianna” seemed sincere enough, but there was an unintended irony to her comment that I wasn’t ready to discuss.  This is what she wrote and for the first time today, I let the comment out of moderation:

Aaron, if there's someone who could refer Ms. Kimberlin, there's a House of Ruth affiliate she can turn to. They are very effective advocates and supports for abused women.

You see, as much as I have written about Brett Kimberlin, there are some details I have held back, just because a detail might not be very important at the time.  Let me start by telling you about the House of Ruth.  This is their mission statement:
