This is friggin' insane...I suggest you read the whole thing...

The basic gist of the story is this convicted Speedway Bomber came out of prison a leftwing activist being funded by the usual suspects, but helps the Liberal cause (with a former Raw Story editor) by stalking Rightwing bloggers and their co-workers, families, friends, and even sending cops to their house with false 911 calls...

Now there are a couple of bloggers who are living in fear of their lives...

This post was VERY long...I jumped some parts, so I suggest you read the whole thing...

Meet Soros-Funded Domestic Terrorist Brett Kimberlin Whose ‘Job’ Is Terrorizing Bloggers Into Silence

Quote:

Drug dealer, alleged child molester, and convicted perjurer, forger and Indiana Speedway Bomber (who is also believed to have played a role in the assassination of a grandmother), Brett Kimberlin, spent 17 years in prison before his ultimate re-absorption into American society
He started a non-profit dubbed “Justice Through Music (JTM)” that has, since at least 2005, been funded by George Soros’ Tides Foundation and Barbara Streisand among other leftists
Along with his associate, Kimberlin also started an organization called “Velvet Revolution” that supports the Occupy movement
JTM’s goal is to use music to foster “social justice” and fight Republican “voter fraud” (like the kind George Bush allegedly used to “steal” the Florida election)
Any blogger — conservative and liberal alike — who has written the truth about Kimberlin has come under vicious attack by either Kimberlin or his minions, suffering death threats (veiled and unveiled), multiple lawsuits, loss of jobs and worse
He has filed over 100 frivolous lawsuits against anything that isn’t nailed down and somehow is being allowed to continue unchecked
This story has never been reported on in the mainstream media

Quote:

Be prepared to enter an alternate universe, bizarre beyond any stretch of what you thought possible. And then keep reading, because this may be one of the most important exposés published on The Blaze to date. It will explain in frightening detail what it means to speak the truth at the expense of losing all you hold dear. And will reveal how easy it has been for one convicted domestic terrorist — backed by George Soros and Barbara Streisand alike — to use the U.S. legal system, as well as less desirable channels, to silence those who have dared tell the story of one Brett Kimberlin, a.k.a. the “Speedway Bomber.”

Kimberlin was convicted of thirty three felony counts including illegal use of a Department of Defense insignia, andBrett Kimberlin: Meet the Soros Funded Domestic Who Is Terrorizing Bloggers Into Silence the Presidential Seal, both of which were used to procure the hard-to-come-by explosives used in the bombings.

While he went on to serve seventeen years in prison, Kimberlin’s time behind bars only helped him hone his skills of “persuasion” by earning a law degree, which he appears to use often and indiscriminately.

Ironically, the man whose credibility is in question now makes a “living” by calling into question, the credibility of others. Today, Kimberlin is the director and founder of “Justice Through Music (JTM),” a non-profit organization that “uses famous musicians and bands to organize, educate and activate young people about the importance of civil rights, human rights and voting.” Since 2005, JTM collected $1.8 million in contributions from an illustrious list of donors including the George Soros-funded Tides Foundation, liberal songstress Barbara Streisand and Senator John Kerry’s wife, Teresa Heinz-Kerry.

In an article detailing Kimberlin’s “thinly veiled” tax documents, Ed Barnes expained how the 58-year-old Bethesda, Md., resident is raising a steady stream of money from the left in return for promising to put conservative bloggers out of business.

the heart of this story lies with those who have become the target of Kimberlin’s scorn — that is to say, any blogger who has mentioned truthful elements about the ex-con’s past.

Los Angeles County Assistant District Attorney Patrick Frey who blogs under the moniker “Patterico,” started writing about Kimberlin in October of 2010 after the late conservative pundit Andrew Breitbart noted the hypocrisy of Kimberlin’s business partner, Brad Friedman, in scorning the “tactics” of James O’Keefe when he went undercover to expose ACORN voter fraud. Shortly thereafter, Frey received an email from Kimberlin threatening to sue if he did not retract his story. Since the Speedway Bomber was unable to prove why any of Frey’s entries were untrue, he decided to escalate the situation to unthinkable heights.

According to the account, Kimberlin proceeded to call Frey’s secretaries, telling them that the assistant district attorney was a “racist, a homophobe, and a stalker” and that he would be filing a restraining order against him. The convicted perjurer subsequently filed a complaint with state bar association as well, a move that was heavily publicized by Kimberlin-accomplice and Democratic consultant Neal Raushauser.

That is not where it ended for Frey, however, not by a long shot. Soon, his home address, along with Google earth and satellite images of it were published on Kimberlin’s other website Occupy for Accountability. As it turns out, a favorite tactic of the Speedway Bomber, according to those who have felt his wrath, is to stalk his “rivals,” particularly their wives, children and parents and post personal information about them, including their home address, online. He allegedly follows the move on occasion with blog posts detailing how he fears for their lives.

While difficult to imagine, the situation gets worse.

Essentially, a yet-to-be identified man (but one who sounds much like a Kimberlin associate, according to Frey) placed a call to law enforcement on the early morning hours of July 1, 2011, to announce that he had just shot his wife. The man then proceeded to give the operator Frey’s home address. Of course, the call was intended to make it look like Frey had just confessed to murdering his wife at his home. Just after midnight, a SWAT team descended on Frey’s doorstep, screaming at the top of their lungs for the attorney to place his hands behind his head. They arrested him and dragged him to the patrol car while simultaneously dragging his wife out of bed.

“I could have been killed,” Frey told The Blaze in an interview as he recalled the disturbing story. He explained that he was only “99% in shock” because a similar incident had happened to someone else just one week prior, and likely for similar reasons.

Please listen below to the chilling audio of the call that sent a SWAT team to Frey’s door:

Blogger Patterico Is Swatted -- July 1, 2011.mp4 - YouTube

Quote:

It is important to note that this extreme form of harassment, dubbed “SWATting” can actually get people killed.

Frey explains:

Quote:

SWATting is a particularly dangerous hoax in which a caller, generally a computer hacker, calls a police department to report a shooting at the home of his enemy. The caller will place this call to the police department’s business line, using Skype or a similar service, and hiding behind Internet proxies to make the call impossible to trace. Anxious police, believing they are responding to the home of an armed and dangerous man, show up at the front door pointing guns and screaming orders.

He goes on to explain that all of the above forms of harassment have happened to him and other critics of Kimberlin since July 2011. “The harassment has been relentless and has occurred almost every day,” Frey writes.

“It would literally take a book to catalogue it all. What you read in this post, incredibly, is only part of it.”

Aaron Walker, who sometimes blogs as “Aaron Worthing,” is another attorney and also one of Kimberlin’s latest victims. After being tormented since last December Walker and his family only seek justice.

After providing legal advice to Seth Allen, a staunch liberal who also drew Kimberlin’s ire after writing truthfully about him, Kimberlin wrote to Walker, requesting that he ask Allen to waive the attorney-client privilege between them. This would, in Kimberlin’s mind, allow Walker to testify against Allen. When Walker — who was blogging anonymously at the time — refused, that was when Kimberlin’s vendetta began.

Inevitably, Kimberlin won a default judgement against Allen but that was not enough. “The next thing I know, he places a motion to reveal my identity,” Walker told The Blaze.

“All he wanted was my identity,” he added. In the end, Kimberlin got it and made certain that Walker’s full name, address, high school, Yale attendance, name and address of employer as well as family information was in black and white for the world to see. Walker attempted to seal the record, but each time, Kimberlin would file a motion to unseal the record.

All the while, Kimberlin has kept filing responses to unseal Walker‘s records and has even published identifying details about Walker’s home. Eerily, the Internet-terrorist has written to law enforcement about his “fear” that Walker or his neighbors might get killed.

As a result, Walker and his wife both lost their jobs. While Walker’s former employer never divulged the real reason for the termination, he believes the move was made out of fear.

“They are terrified of this guy,” Walker told me. So afraid in fact, that when his former employer thought Walker might come back to work to collect his belongings (even though he did not), they felt that major police presence was required. “They wouldn’t even let us back in to get my books.”

It is important to note that given the background and tactics involved, Frey, Walker, and other bloggers like Robert Stacy McCain are legitimately fearful for their safety and the safety of their family members. Thus far, Kimberlin has been allowed to terrorize members of the blogosphere as there has been little push-back from mainstream media or even free speech advocates. Perhaps with greater media exposure, this brazen assault on free speech will be arrested in its tracks.

I don't think calling in fake crimes falls under "free speech". The ****er should be arrested and fined for all the police time spent

"scorning the tactics"!!!!!...

That is NOT citing a fact...he was talking about an individual's response to what O'Keefe does...NOT what O'Keefe does...

The fact that you just decided you saw a name you hate and threw out an ignorant response shows you're not even trying anymore...Just throw sh*t out for the sake of throwin sh*t out...

I've been reading about this all week. I was going to post on it, but there's just too much information. Kudo's to cnredd for taking the time to scratch the surface.

The background is interesting. Small bloggers have been harassed, threatened, put up on false charges, lost their jobs, and one guy was chased out of his home by this "Speedway Bomber", one-time terrorist.

He targets the small guys because they can't defend themselves against the massive financial and other backing Kimberlin has accumulated from Progressive donors since he got out of jail on early release. Wasn't the original sentence 50 years? I didn't read all the OP, because I think I'm up on the details. Have we mentioned his organization is tax exempt?

The small bloggers are fighting back now though. They've joined forces, and have called for support from the larger blogs. Some like HotAir, and Michelle Malkin have obliged.

BTW it's "Blog against Brett Kimberlin" day today. Did they mention that?

Media coverage:

Washington Examiner, Mark Tapscott -

"The enemies of free speech and thought have lately turned to more subtle tools of suppression than merely shouting down speakers. Among these are extortionary threats to launch false charges of racism against companies that support politically incorrect groups, such as the American Legislative Exchange Council.

But far more sinister is the tactic adopted by Brett Kimberlin, an activist and the founder of the group Velvet Revolution who was convicted in 1981 of exploding eight bombs in 1978 in Speedway, Ind. One of his bombs blew off the leg of a man who subsequently committed suicide.

Nowadays, Kimberlin targets conservative bloggers like Aaron Worthing and Robert Stacy McCain in Maryland, and Patrick Frey of Patterico’s Pontifications in California. Why? For publishing facts about Kimberlin’s criminal record.

Kimberlin harasses his targets by, among many other ways, filing false charges in courts that require expensive, time-consuming litigation, disrupting his targets’ workplaces, and dropping dark hints about spouses and kids.

…Unless these tactics are vigorously repudiated by the First Amendment’s friends across the ideological spectrum, our Constitution will become little more than a parchment barrier to oppression.

The groups that Kimberlin has founded and associated with since his release from prison have received more than $1.5 million in grant support, much of it from liberal foundations — the Tides Foundation, Streisand Foundation and Heinz Foundation — according to Matthew Vadum of the Capital Research Center. Vadum wonders if they know (or care) how their donors’ money is being spent.

So count me today with Michelle Malkin, Instapundit’s Glenn Harlan Reynolds, blogger Lee Stranahan, PJMedia’s Tatler and many others with one message for the Brett Kimberlins among us: Get your hands off our First Amendment.

This isn’t about Left and Right, it’s about liberty versus tyranny".

I agree with you. But look who's administration (the lefts) runs all of these terror plots, etc.

From all of our intelligents to the beat cops. From the top down.

At least the middle and not so far right believe in fair and balanced laws. And the proper enforcement of them.
