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 two years, 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.
And more recently when his wife came to us claiming that this convicted
terrorist had threatened her harm, we tried to help her leave her, and for that,
he is suing myself, John Hoge, Robert Stacy McCain and Ali Akbar for helping
his wife and he is suing Hoge, McCain, Akbar, DB Capital Strategies, Michelle
Malkin, Glenn Beck, James O’Keefe III, Patrick “Patterico” Frey, Mandy Nagy,
Lee Stranahan, Erick Erickson, Breitbart.com, the Blaze, Mercury Radio Arts,
Red State, the National Bloggers Club, and
Simon and Shuster alleging that we are all in organized crime for
reporting factually about the spate of SWATtings committed against myself, Frey
and Erickson. 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.
Of course the
title is a kind of an in-joke, that I will untangle briefly.
As you might
remember when Brett Kimberlin first started off this most recent spate of
lawsuits starting with suing me for represented a another client, in this case
his wife, we created a legal defense fund at the site Bomber Sues Bloggers—which you can
still donate to! Then when Bill
Schmalfeldt threatened to sue various bloggers, in February (you have to be specific,
because he is always threatening to
sue people), I joked that we might have to start up “Blubber Sues Bloggers.” You know, because Bill Schmalfeldt is very,
very fat.
Hey, just
because I’m a Yalie, doesn’t mean every joke has to be erudite, okay?
Anyway, in the
last few weeks we saw that Blubber seemed to finally make good on his threat to
sue various people in a laughably incompetent complaint he filed in U.S.
District Court. Then he claimed he spoke
to his doctor who suggested he doesn’t need the stress and so he withdrew the
complaint. You can read all about that
at Blubber Sues Bloggers, a site
which I think constitutes great minds thinking alike, in terms of its title. I should stress that “Blubber” is not a fundraising
site, unlike Bomber Sues Bloggers. It’s
a news and mockery site.
So anyway, as
you also might know, John Hoge has also sued Schmalfleldt in federal court for
a violation of his copyrights, and also the copyrights of the anonymous blogger
known as Paul Krendler, who sold the rights to him for the purpose of stopping Schmalfeldt
from ripping off his copyrights.
Well, I have
just heard from John that Schmalfeldt has answered the suit and counterclaimed
in it. In it he has added to
counter-defendants: Chris Heather who is allegedly the twitterer known as “GunTotingTeaBag”
and Paul Krendler. John said he didn’t
have much time to look at it, yet, but he did say that there was also a motion
to get immediate discovery, most likely of one or more of their identities (it
depends on whether he is actually sure Heather is the right guy.
Surely you
will see more at Hogewash
as this develops. I will share what I know
as I learn, though as always, my motto is “case first, blog second.”
Still, you
might want to start popping the popcorn right now, because I am willing to bet
this is a pretty awful one.

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 help in
the fight to hold Mr. Kimberlin accountable, please hit the donation link on
the right. 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. 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.
