    Brad Fr iedman’s Pa rtner and “Buddy”: A Convicted Bomber, Perjurer, and Drug

    Smuggler, Suspected Murderer . . . and Election Integrity HERO!!!

    Filed under: Brad Friedman,Brett Kimberlin,General,Velvet Revolution — Patterico @ 1:00 pm

    [Note: this post is a supplement to the amazing post by Liberty Chick at Big Journalism today. That post

    sets out the important facts about Brett Kimberlin and his relationship to Brad Friedman. This post sets

    forth many of the same facts in my own way, and highlights a few points not mentioned in Liberty Chick's

     piece. But you should definitely read her piece for the definitive takedown. It is tremendous.]

    Brett Kimberlin set off eight bombs in Speedway, Indiana in 1978 over the course of several days. One blew up a

     police car. Another blew the right leg off of a Vietnam veteran named Carl DeLong. DeLong’s left leg was also

    severely injured, and two of his fingers were blown off and then reattached. DeLong carried shrapnel in his body,

    causing him constant pain . . . which apparently became too much for him. DeLong committed suicide in 1983 by

    sitting in his van in his garage with the engine running.

    Kimberlin was identified by store clerks who sold him bombmaking materials. A search of his car revealed timers

    similar to those used in the bombing, as well as traces of the explosive used. He was convicted of the bombings. He

    has never been exonerated by any court.

    Authorities suspected Kimberlin did the bombings as a distraction from a murder investigation. Kimberlin was

    enamored of a pre-teen girl named Jessica [a pseudonym given her by Mark Singer] who went on several

    unsupervised out-of-state trips with him. Jessica’s grandmother expressed her disapproval of the relationship, and

    insisted that the granddaughters move into her house to get away from Kimberlin. Kimberlin became suicidal. Then

    the grandmother was shot in the head at her house. Nobody else in the world had a motive to kill her except

    Kimberlin. After police arrested Kimberlin and several confederates in Texas in a massive drug smuggling

    operation, the sole eyewitness to the murder identified one of Kimberlin’s confederates as the man who killed

    Jessica’s grandmother. But the witness soon died of cancer, and no charges were ever brought against Kimberlin

    for the murder.

    While awaiting trial on the bombing, Kimberlin plotted with an inmate to murder a prosecutor on his case. He

     promised another inmate bail money to go set off another bomb with similar components while Kimberlin was

    incarcerated, creating an alibi for Kimberlin.

    In addition to his convictions for the bombings, Kimberlin was convicted at trial of impersonating a military official.

    (He sometimes posed as a military official as part of his smuggling operations). He also pled to the drug smuggling

    charge in Texas. For all these crimes, Kimberlin was sentenced to 50 years in federal prison for these and other 

    crimes, but was somehow paroled in the early 1990s.

     Now Kimberlin is partnered up with Brad Friedman of the BradBlog — the guy who has made such a big deal out

    of whether James O’Keefe was wearing a pimp outfit at ACORN. The guy who has repeatedly trumpeted the fact

    that O’Keefe was a federal criminal — for O’Keefe’s pissant misdemeanor violation of entering federal property

    under false pretenses.

    With Friedman, Kimberlin runs VelvetRevolution.us. Together, they report wild-sounding conspiracy theories abou

    voting irregularities, and solicit donations. Kimberlin and Friedman offer rewards of hundreds of thousands of 

    dollars for news of voting fraud. Larisa Alexandrovna of Raw Story once told people at Democratic Underground:

    I know Brett… and I know the story of his arrest and what really happened. he has been funding the

    voter fraud allegations, the afterdowningstreet people, etc.

    With all this funding of investigations, offering of rewards, and such, Kimberlin to my knowledge has yet to pay

    DeLong’s widow any money on the $1.6 million civil judgment she received against him for blowing up her 

    husband.

    Speaking of crazy allegations against political figures, remember the guy who claimed that he had sold pot to Dan

    Quayle?

    Yeah, that was Kimberlin.

    Garry Trudeau made Kimberlin famous by writing a series of comic strips about Kimberlin’s unsubstantiated

    allegations about Quayle. Trudeau passed on the story to his friend Mark Singer, a writer for the New Yorker who

    wrote a sympathetic article about Kimberlin. Singer then wrote a book about him. But as he wrote the book,

    Singer started to realize that Kimberlin is a con artist. As Joe Gelarden, who wrote about Kimberlin during his trial,

    memorably stated, Kimberlin “was convicted of perjury – in federal court – before he got out of high school. Think 

    about that for a moment.” In a passage in Singer’s book , Kimberlin is depicted as encouraging Singer to create

    fictional tales about him, saying: “Make it all up. Make the whole thing up.”

    This fabulist, this convicted perjurer, is the guy behind many of the blockbuster stories about voter fraud published

    at BradBlog.com.

    Kimberlin has taken to claiming that he was a political prisoner. For example, he had a band called Epoxy, and the

     band’s page of biographies for the band members says this about Kimberlin.

    Brett Kimberlin

    Epoxy arose out of the hellish depths of Brett’s time in prison for exercising his First Amendment

    rights to speech and political activity. Without any trial, Brett was hauled off to federal prison after 

     being targeted by right-wingers who wanted to punish him for being a musician, writing a book and

    speaking out about politics.

    From an interview:

    5. Your views and political stance landed you time in prison – Did your views and/or ideas

    change because of the time you spent in prison?

    My views about justice only got stronger in prison. I got to see and feel injustice first hand and spent a

    lot of time fighting for the rights of prisoners who were uneducated or from foreign countries. I have

    8/11/2014 Patterico's Pontifications » Brad Friedman’s Partner and “Buddy”: A Convicted Bomber, Perjurer, and Drug Smuggler, Suspected Murderer . . . and Elec

    kept it up since being released, spending a great deal of resources on civil rights and liberties.

    6. Many groups and organizations took up your cause and rallied for your release, did this

    surprise you and how did the media pick up your s tory?

    My case is very convoluted but in essence, I was punished for exercising my First Amendment right to

    speech. Fortunately, many enlightened people came to my defense, along with the American Civil

    Liberties Union, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, and that is why my band is donating

    a portion of each sale to those groups. It did not really surprise because the actions of the AmericanGovernment were so blatant and therefore it was hard to ignore. What does surprise me is that so

    many people did and do not care what happened to me. My feeling is that if people don’t stand up to

    government sponsored injustice, it will only get worse.

    The Indianapolis Star sets the record straight:

    Kimberlin was paroled in 1994 after serving about 13 years of his 50-year sentence. But when he

    made no effort to pay the DeLong judgment his parole was revoked in 1997 and he went back to

     prison for about four more years, released again in 2001.

    Many questions remain about the investigations Kimberlin has supposedly done with Brad Friedman. The guy

    appears to be a career criminal along the lines of Tookie Williams. The similarities are great: an intelligent violent

    criminal involved in multiple acts of deadly violence, who hatches a plot to escape from incarceration by means of 

    murder. When that fails, he starts a massive publicity campaign, mobilizing the politically strident but fundamentally

    naive segment among the left who love to stand up for prisoners. As part of his campaign, he uses lame “art” to

    convince people he is a serious person.

    The main difference is that Tookie got caught, convicted, and was never let go. Kimberlin? He walked in 1994, and

    is now a progressive hero walking the streets.

    For more, read Liberty Chick’s post, and poke around the blog of a Socrates, who has been writing about the

    connection between Kimberlin and Friedman for months.

     NEXT UP: Proof that Friedman is censoring mention of Kimberlin at Bradblog. Stay tuned.

    UPDATE: Kimberlin has now threatened to sue me for this post. To be clear: the post is based almost entirely on

     published reports from the Indianapolis Star, TIME Magazine, and other news publications. If there are any

    errors, I invite Mr. Kimberlin to specify them. I will happily correct and retract any mistakes. However, I will not

    remove anything that is true.

    by LIBERTY CHICK (/COLUMNISTS/LIBERTY-CHICK) 8 Jun 2012POST A COMMENT (/BIG-GOVERNMENT/2012/06/08/ERICKSON-CNN-SWATTING#COMMENTS)

    Today, CNN featured a story centering around CNN contributor

    and RedState managing editor Erick Erickson, the latest victim(http://www.redstate.com/erick/2012/05/27/swatting-

    the-ericksons/) in a series of incidents in which an imposter

    mimics the phone number of a target, then calls the police and

    confesses to a violent crime. Such confessions often result in law 

    enforcement personnel, many times special weapons and tactics

    teams (SWAT teams), responding to calls with full force, risking

    the life and health of the target. This tactic has been called

    SWATting by the FBI (http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories

    /2008/february/swatting020408).The CNN story featured the 911 phone call that led to Erickson’s SWATting on May 27,

    2012. It can be heard below.

    On the heels of that SWATting, Breitbart News contributor Lee Stranahan decided to

    conduct a podcast (http://www.blogtalkradio.com/darby-stranahan/2012/05

    /28/patterico-dicusses-swatting-kimberlin) late that same evening to discuss the incident;

    the podcast extended into the very early morning hours of May 28, 2012. Stranahan had

    invited guest Patrick Frey, a deputy district attorney at Los Angeles County District

     Attorney's Office who also blogs under the pseudonym Patterico (http://patterico.com/),

    to offer insight into his own experience as a victim of SWATting. Frey was the target of a

    similar incident in June 2011, an account that Frey has detailed extensively

    Frey has also alleged a much broader, prolonged campaign of lawfare and harassment

    against a group of political writers.

     What followed on the May 28 podcast was shocking.

    Partway into the program, at about 49:28 on the podcast, which can be heard by clicking

    here (http://www.blogtalkradio.com/darby-stranahan/2012/05/28/patterico-dicusses-

    swatting-kimberlin), a caller with an unidentified phone number greeted the Stranahan

    and Frey, and then claimed to be the SWATter from Frey’s June 2011 incident. Here is the

    transcript:

    CALLER: It’s me. Hey Pat, you remember me, buddy? It’s me that SWATted you, buddy. How about I punk you one more time for old times’ sake, huh? (laughter)

     You still there, buddy?

    STRANAHAN: Yeah, we’re here. Now why are you saying…now give us some

    proof that you’re the person who SWATted Pat. (silence) And, they’ve gone.

     A stunned Patrick Frey commented that the call was “pretty spooky,” and that he felt like

    this was “a bad movie.”

    Moments later, the brazen caller returned, at about 65:40 on the tape

    (http://www.blogtalkradio.com/darby-stranahan/2012/05/28/patterico-dicusses-

    swatting-kimberlin). Here is the transcript. Note that at this point on the podcast, the

    author of this post had called in:

    CALLER: Hey, Pat, buddy, what is this, Lee? Alright. You wingnuts make me

    laugh. This is all so funny. I mean, Michelle with her cousin still missing, for

     what, her cousin offs herself, that’s so funny, I still laugh about that. Hey Pat,

    how’d that feel when you got SWATted that night? I was watching from outside,

     buddy, that was kinda funny, watching your ass go out in handcuffs. (laughter)

    LIBERTY CHICK: Your voice sounds kind of funny.

    STRANAHAN: Your voice sounds funny, you’re talking a little too fast.

    CALLER: Oh, I’m sorry, am I speaking too fast for you, buddy?

    STRANAHAN: Try it slow. Do the whole ‘I shot my’…do what you said on the

    call. Repeat what you said on the call.CALLER: What call? I don’t know what you’re talking about, buddy. I thought

     you invited me to talk some serious things here. Or are we not?

    STRANAHAN: You sound like Sean Penn as Spicoli, that’s what you sound

    like. But if you could slow it down a little bit, what did you sound like on the call?

    CALLER: I don’t know, buddy.

    FREY: Well, well, tell us why you did it. If you’re the guy, tell us why you did it.

    (Caller hangs up).

    The “Michelle” to whom the caller callously referred was presumably Michelle Malkin,

     whose cousin tragically went missing (http://michellemalkin.com/2011/03/07/missing-

    marizela-perez/) in March of 2011. During that evening’s podcast, Stranahan had

    mentioned Malkin’s recent efforts in bringing exposure to the stories of the SWATtings

    and to the alleged broader, prolonged campaign of harassment (http://patterico.com

    /2012/05/25/convicted-bomber-brett-kimberlin-neal-rauhauser-ron-brynaert-and-their-

    campaign-of-political-terrorism/) over the course of the last year against a group of 

    political bloggers. Malkin had also been tweeting (https://twitter.com/michellemalkin

    /status/206981083298926594) about Stranahan’s podcast just moments before the

    alleged SWATter called in.

    One important detail to note: Stranahan scheduled the May 28 podcast spontaneously, in

    response to the Erick Erickson incident that same evening. He announced the program on

    Twitter only six minutes prior to its start.

    gained traction last week, after one of the targets was recently jailed for violating a peace

    order, which was an unreasonable restraint of his First Amendment rights by a judge who

    thought comment in the public domain constituted harassment. An outcry from the

    political blogging and activism community – from both sides of the political spectrum –

    has now prompted intervention from members of Congress. Letters from both Republican

    Senator Saxby Chambliss (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/06/06/sen-

    chambliss-demands-doj-investigation-of-attacks-against-political-commentators) of 

    Georgia and Texas Congressman Kenny Marchant (http://marchant.house.gov 

    /News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=298885) have urged the Department of 

    Justice to investigate the SWATting incidents to determine whether or not federal laws

    have been violated.

    by LIBERTY CHICK (/COLUMNISTS/LIBERTY-CHICK) 11 Oct 2010POST A COMMENT (/BIG-JOURNALISM/2010/10/11/PROGRESSIVES-EMBRACE-CONVICTED-TERRORIST#COMMENTS)

    This past July, in a formal request

    (http://www.velvetrevolution.us/images/GANSLER-

    COATS_OKEEFE.pdf) it filed with the prosecutors of Maryland

    state and the city of Baltimore, a left-leaning organization known

    as Velvet Revolution (http://velvetrevolution.us/) urged

    prosecutors to press criminal charges against James O'Keefe and

    Hannah Giles for what it says was a violation of Maryland's Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance Act. But the letter also

     went a step further, naming Andrew Breitbart as a conspirator in

    masterminding the whole operation

    (http://www.velvetrevolution.us/images/GANSLER-

    COATS_OKEEFE.pdf).

    The accusation against Breitbart is of course patently false and baseless. No evidence

    exists to even suggest such an accusation, because it simply did not happen that way. Then

    again, this story's not about Andrew Breitbart. It's about Velvet Revolution, the source

    making the claim.Progressives are also rallying behind Velvet Revolution for another of its most recent

    campaigns – AmericanCrossRoadsWatch (http://www.velvetrevolution.us

    /acrw/signup.php), which, to the delight of familiar folks like Karoli at Crooks and Liars

    (http://crooksandliars.com/karoli/progressives-fight-back-100000-bounty-karl-), has

    offered a $100,000 bounty "for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Karl 

     Rove or any principal of American Crossroads for money laundering, election rigging,

    or felony campaign finance violations." It features a WANTED poster:

    kimberlin-wanted

    Interesting, that the words "felony" and "Wanted" would be used. Again, considering the

    source.

     You see, while Velvet Revolution has inspired quite a flurry of excitement from its

    progressive partners these days, who seem to be frolicking in their apparent muckraking

    efforts, their glaring omission and utter hypocrisy is absolutely astonishing. With so much

    dirt digging going on, one would be very hard pressed to believe that none of Velvet

    Revolution's cheerleaders had any idea whatsoever that a convicted violent felon is one of 

    its co-founders. In an environment today when the left has repeatedly falsely accused most

    opposition of being racist, hateful and violent, how convenient that progressives would fail

    to acknowledge the hypocrisy of their own implicit support of real  violence and

    law-breaking.

    The story behind Velvet Revolution begins with musician-activist turned immigrants'

    rights defender turned voting rights activist, Brett Kimberlin

    the "Justice Through Music Project (http://www.jtmp.org/) (JTMP)." According to

     journalist Brad Friedman (http://www.bradblog.com/?p=4617) of the Brad Blog, he and

    Kimberlin co-founded Velvet Revolution together, a detail Friedman has specifically 

    noted in a number of posts such as this one from 5/31/2007 (http://www.bradblog.com

    /?p=4617).

    kimberlin-time2 (http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article

    /0,9171,1574161-1,00.html)

    Once dubbed "The Wizard of Odd (http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article

    /0,9171,1574161-1,00.html)" by Time Magazine, you may recognize the name Brett

    Kimberlin for much more than Justice Through Music or Velvet Revolution,

    especially if you're from Indiana. That's because in 1981, Kimberlin, then the owner of 

     vegetarian restaurant Good Earth, was finally convicted of a week-long bombing spree in

    Indianapolis, IN in which eight separate bombs caused extensive property damage,

    destroyed a police cruiser, and severely maimed a man, which eventually led to the man's

    suicide. Kimberlin's story has so often been overlooked or understated by the national

    media, which unfortunately all but failed to follow up on what were later proven by the

    same journalist who first reported on his story to be mistruths. But locals to IN know 

    exactly what happened and have never forgotten it since. It's time the public got the full

    story.

    Brett Kimberlin, Speedway Bomber

    Infamously known as "The Speedway Bomber (http://blogs.indystar.com/starfiles

    /2010/09/01/the_phantom_spe/)," Brett Kimberlin exploded his eighth and final bomb

    on September 6, 1978, which nearly blew off the right leg of his victim, Carl DeLong, and

    seriously injured the man's left leg and right hand, causing his leg to be amputated.

    DeLong committed suicide two years later, unable to cope with the pain and devastation of 

    his injuries. The victim's wife Sandra later won a civil judgment against Kimberlin for $1.6

    million.

    Police had immediately suspected Kimberlin in the bombing case. He'd been in trouble

    since high school, was a suspected drug trafficker and he was already the suspect in a

    murder that had occurred only months earlier. As the Indianapolis Star

    (http://www.indystar.com/article/99999999/NEWS06/100919013) recounted recently:

    On July 29, 1978, Speedway resident Julia Scyphers, 65, answered a knock at her

    door. A man she didn't know was standing on her stoop asking about items she'd

    recently tried to sell at a yard sale. She let him into the garage to look at the items and

    he shot her in the head.

    Mrs. Scypher's husband, Fred, 68, heard the bang and came out in time to see a car

    pulling out of the driveway. He would later tell police he'd gotten a glimpse of the man

     who'd come to the door.

     When police began looking for a motive in the Scyphers slaying, they found there'd

     been a recent family clash. Julia Scyphers' daughter, Sandra Barton, had become

    involved with a man who seemed to Mrs. Scyphers to be inordinately close to one of 

    Barton's young daughters. Mrs. Scyphers told friends she was so concerned that she'd

    arranged for both of her granddaughters to come live with her. Whether or not Mrs.

    Scyphers' fears were correct (no charges were ever filed to that effect), this incident

    led investigators to start looking at Brett C. Kimberlin.

    Investigators had learned that Sandra Barton's pre-teen daughter had accompanied

    Kimberlin, in his 20's, on several out of state trips. When the girl moved in with her

    grandmother as a protective measure on the family's part, Kimberlin threatened to commit

    suicide.

    But police still needed to collect more evidence in both the bombing and murder cases.

     After he was identified by a store-owner who'd unwittingly sold him the timer for one of 

    the bombs, Kimberlin was subsequently reported to the U.S. Army by a nearby print shop

    owner who had become suspicious when Kimberlin wanted to reproduce military driver's

    licenses. And when he returned to that print shop wearing a security guard uniform with

    an illegal Department of Defense insignia, an Army investigator was present to bust him

    for violating the law. Police used the opportunity to obtain a warrant to search Kimberlin's

     vehicle, where they found the same timers and explosive chemical used in the bombs. A 

    search of his family's property also turned up a buried steel tank that contained 1,000 lbs

    of marijuana. Investigators later found that Kimberlin and some construction workers had

    purchased explosives in 1975 to blast away the area so they could bury the tank. Those

    explosives were the same as those used in the Speedway bombings.

    kimberlin-montage

     While police continued to strengthen their case against him for the bombings, Kimberlin

    got arrested on drug charges in 1979 in Texas after a plane delivery of 10,000 pounds of 

    Colombian marijuana went awry. He and several others had been building a makeshift

    landing strip in the middle of the desert and rented a small airplane to collect their cargo,

     which had been abandoned by its scheduled pilot due to bad weather. When caught during

    the drug arrest, police confiscated an arsenal of weapons that included a TASAR (brand

    new technology at that time), pistols with silencers, AR15 rifles, poison tipped bullets, and

    makeshift security guard uniforms.

    The incident gave investigators additional time to piece together more evidence from the

     bombing case, as well as the details of the murder case in which Kimberlin was a suspect.

    Eventually, in three separate trials, Kimberlin was convicted of the bombings and

    sentenced to a fifty-year term of imprisonment for manufacturing and possessing a

    destructive device, and malicious damage by explosives with personal injury. He received a

    concurrent twelve-year sentence for impersonating a federal officer, illegal use of a

    Department of Defense insignia, and illegal use of the Presidential Seal, and a five-year

    term for receipt of explosives by a convicted felon. He was also given a four-year sentence

     by the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas on an earlier,

    unrelated conviction for conspiracy to distribute marijuana. Kimberlin's sentences were

    aggregated by the Bureau of Prisons and treated by the Commission as a single aggregate

    sentence of 51 years, six months, and nineteen days (http://ftp.resource.org/courts.gov 

    /c/F3/7/7.F3d.527.92-6084.html).

    The Scyphers murder case however has remained open. One suspect was identified and

    charged at the time, but the victim's husband, the only witness in the case, died of cancer

    two weeks later, leaving the authorities without a living witness.

    Despite the evidence (http://indystar.com/assets/pdf/BG164276919.PDF) authorities

     were gathering, Kimberlin never would be formally charged with the murder. Still, he did

    serve nearly 17 years in prison for both the bombings and the drug case. After the

    conviction, more details were revealed about the case that unraveled a complex and creepy 

    series of additional crimes that Kimberlin planned against numerous targets, most notably 

    the chief government prosecutor, Bernard (Buddy) Pylitt, who happened to have political

    ambitions for governor. Indianapolis Star reporter Joseph Gelarden (http://indystar.com

    /assets/pdf/BG164276919.PDF) thoroughly documented the entire plot based on

    information and documents that were provided by the investigators after Kimberlin's

    conviction. It reads like a fictional made for TV movie, complete with a hit list of "six to be

    killed, two or three to be roughed up and one or two to be robbed," according to the article

    (http://indystar.com/assets/pdf/BG164276919.PDF).

    indystar2 (http://indystar.com/assets/pdf/BG164276919.PDF)

    During his time in prison, Kimberlin certainly made a name for himself in a variety of 

    other ways. His claim to fame as "the guy who said he sold pot to Dan Quayle" eventually 

    hoisted him into the fictional character of political prisoner and supposed "victim" of the

    Republican establishment, a character the left was all too eager to create just before the

    presidential election of the senior George H. W. Bush. And while the pot-smoking

    allegations were later dismissed by the public as fiction, Kimberlin continues to this day to

    recycle that myth to the left.

     As the Indianapolis Star (http://blogs.indystar.com/starfiles/2010/09

     /02/the_bomb_that_m/) recounted on September 2, 2010:

    Case 8:13-cv-03059-GJH Document 180-7 Filed 08/11/14 Page 3 of 11

  • 8/20/2019 Kimberlin v NBC Et Al - Frey and Nagy Motion to Dismiss Exhibits

    38/45

    Five years later, in 1988, Kimberlin vaulted himself into the national news when he

    claimed he’d once sold pot to Dan Quayle, then a U.S. Senator and candidate for vice

    president. Quayle vehemently denied the charge and Kimberlin produced no proof 

    except his own word, which wasn’t worth much to those who knew this story. But

    most people outside of Indiana had never heard of Kimberlin and the national

    political press gave it some play for a while.

    Kimberlin was paroled in 1994 after serving about 13 years of his 50-year sentence.

    But when he made no effort to pay the DeLong judgment his parole was revoked in

    1997 and he went back to prison for about four more years, released again in 2001.

     Where is he now? Last we heard he was living in Bethesda, Maryland. And living in Bethesda, Maryland he is. So what's Kimberlin doing today?

     After Prison: Brett Kimberlin, Progressive Activist

    Before being returned to prison in 1997 for violating his parole, Kimberlin had been

    lobbying Capitol Hill in 1994 (http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1994-03-13/features

    /9403130267_1_brett-kimberlin-prison-convicted) on behalf of a fellow prisoner friend,

    David Sushansky (http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1994-03-13/features

    /9403130267_1_brett-kimberlin-prison-convicted), an illegal immigrant of the former

    Soviet Union, using his new-found fame to wrangle top legal support for Sushansky's

    "rights" as he waited in limbo in an INS detention camp. Sushansky's former country 

    refused to take him back due to his heroin conviction.

    Having been released from prison again in 2001, Kimberlin now runs the Justice Through

    Music Project (http://www.jtmp.org/) (JTMP), which describes itself as "an organization

    that works with famous bands to inspire youth to participate in the political process by 

     voting and supporting civil rights." IRS records identify JTMP as a community foundation

    (http://bestpractices.cof.org/community/ViewStandard.cfm?itemNumber=901) "which

    receives a substantial part of its support from a governmental unit or the general public

    170(b)(1)(A)(vi)," under the classification of "Voter Education and Registration."

     According to its most recent 990 Tax-Exempt Organization filing

    (http://dynamodata.fdncenter.org/990_pdf_archive/270/270051467

    /270051467_200812_990EZ.pdf) for 2008, on which Kimberlin is listed as a director,

    JTMP has received a total of over $1.3 million in public gifts and grants since 2005 for

    these efforts.

    kimberlin-JTMP1

     As we know, Kimberlin also co-founded Velvet Revolution (http://velvetrevolution.us/)

     with Brad Friedman of BradBlog (http://www.bradblog.com/). This organization is

    funded by, among others, the notable Tides Foundation (http://www.tidesfoundation.org

    /fileadmin/tf_pdfs/Tides-Foundation-List-of-Grantees-2009.pdf). By 2007, Kimberlin

    had received notoriety as an "election and campaign reform activist," monitoring voting

    processes and raising electronic tabulation issues. He runs the very organization that

    today is demanding the prosecution of Andrew Breitbart, Karl Rove, and many others who

    happen to oppose progressive policy, while often basing accusations on little else than

    opinion.

    Between the time he was released from prison and today, Kimberlin has been involved in anumber of progressive causes through his organizations. Among these are election and

    campaign finance reform, electronic voting investigation, immigration rights, anti-war

    activism, and a variety of other civil rights causes.

    Together with other progressives, Kimberlin's Velvet Revolution even championed the call

    to investigate the death of Michael Connell (http://www.velvetrevolution.us

    /prosecute_rove/) as a potential homicide. Connell, a former IT consultant for Karl Rove

     who'd also developed Internet strategies for the 2000 and 2004 Bush-Cheney campaigns,

     was killed in December 2008 when the plane he was piloting alone crashed on his way 

    home to Ohio from Washington DC. Velvet Revolution and other progressive sites like

    BradBlog (http://www.bradblog.com/?p=6765) have insisted it was a deliberate act of 

    sabotage to protect White House "secrets." Official NTSB reports

    (http://www.cantonrep.com/news/x690800544/Errors-weather-cited-as-factors-in-Dec-

    Case 8:13-cv-03059-GJH Document 180-7 Filed 08/11/14 Page 4 of 11

  • 8/20/2019 Kimberlin v NBC Et Al - Frey and Nagy Motion to Dismiss Exhibits

    39/45

    2008-fatal-plane-crash) eventually showed that there was no evidence of sabotage, and

    cited the pilot's spatial disorientation as the cause of the crash.

    Some progressives maintain to this day that Kimberlin was persecuted by a Republican

    conspiracy hell-bent on silencing him from speaking to the press about his allegations that

    he sold Dan Quayle pot. It's conspiracy theory that has since been spun into urban legend.

    But court records from the US Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit (http://ftp.resource.org

    /courts.gov/c/F3/7/7.F3d.527.92-6084.html) clearly spell out the truth.

     As for Kimberlin's allegations about Vice President Quayle supposedly creating an

    appearance of political vindictiveness in the Commission's decisions, the district

    court correctly concluded that Kimberlin, not the Commission, created

    this appearance. He has neither proven nor alleged that the Commission's

    decisions were actually influenced in any way by his statements about the Vice

    President--indeed, Kimberlin's counsel did not mention Quayle during oral argument.

    In the absence of proof or an allegation of actual vindictiveness, no lawful basis exists

    to set aside the Commission's sentence. Alabama v. Smith, 490 U.S. 794, 799-800,

    109 S.Ct. 2201, 2204-2205, 104 L.Ed.2d 865 (1989) (where Pearce presumption does

    not apply, burden remains upon defendant to prove actual vindictiveness). Were it

    otherwise, any prisoner could make public accusations prior to a Commission's

    decision, and then argue that the decision was tainted by an appearance of 

     vindictiveness.

    Supporters insist that Kimberlin was exonerated under a "special secret deal" of some sort

     with the Justice Department then his parole revoked as a conspiracy by Karl Rove and thefirst Bush administration to keep Kimberlin quiet. The truth of the matter is that

    Kimberlin's parole was revoked in 1997, as noted earlier, because he refused to make

    payments on the DeLong judgment in relation to the Speedway bombings . No

    such exoneration exists.

    Much of this history and Kimberlin's creative imagination is captured in the book by Mark 

    Singer, "Citizen K: The Deeply Weird American Journey of Brett Kimberlin

    (http://www.amazon.com/Citizen-Deeply-American-Journey-Kimberlin

    /dp/0679429999)." Singer, who initially believed Kimberlin's story and reported on his

    claims to have sold marijuana to Dan Quayle while a student in law school, eventually 

    realized he'd been conned and wrote a repentant book in response. Kimberlin also

    received a portion of the advance for the book. In a review for Salon, Charles Taylor

    (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Citizen-K/Mark-Singer/e/9780679429999) summed

    up the book as follows:

    Case 8:13-cv-03059-GJH Document 180-7 Filed 08/11/14 Page 5 of 11

  • 8/20/2019 Kimberlin v NBC Et Al - Frey and Nagy Motion to Dismiss Exhibits

    40/45

    The farce Mark Singer describes in Citizen K  might be called a journalist's version of 

    the Stockholm Syndrome, the psychological phenomenon where captive bonds with

    captor. The irony in this case is that Singer's "captor" was himself a prisoner, Brett

    Kimberlin, a suspected murderer and bomber and a convicted pot smuggler and

    dealer. In the weeks before George Bush's 1988 election, Kimberlin told the press that

    one of his early '70s customers was then-law-student "Danny" Quayle.

    In 1992, Singer, a New Yorker staff reporter, wrote a 22,000-word article for the

    magazine detailing Kimberlin's claims that Bureau of Prisons officials had denied his

    constitutional rights by preventing him from making his claims about Quayle to the

    press. The article led to the deal for this book, a deal that gave Kimberlin a cut of theprofits. But, as Singer investigated his subject's drug-running past - and

    transformation into a jailhouse lawyer with a prodigious taste for litigation as well as a

     would-be player on the national political scene - he felt a dawning certainty that he

    had been had.

    Citizen K  - the title refers both to Kimberlin's view of himself as Kafkaesque victim

    and to his talent for the noble posturing of Charles Foster Kane - is a very sly piece of 

     work. It's not often that journalists, the most defensive of professionals, admit to

     being conned. Singer alerts us from the start that there's something off in Kimberlin's

    stories, but by allowing him the room to spin his tales, he lets us experience

    Kimberlin's seductive powers. Singer's public revelation that he was a willing sucker

     will almost surely prompt other journalists to claim that they would never have beenfooled. But his demonstration of how easy it is to be taken in by a master prevaricator

    like Kimberlin should also make them uncomfortable. Here is a con man who can

    convert every evidence of his guilt into proof of his innocence, who can flatter the

    press and lawyers who take up his case that they are serving not only their profession

     but American justice…

    Repudiation?

    Today, the impact of Kimberlin's influence can easily be seen online in progressive

    initiatives. He's often praised for his efforts to bring about peace in the world , his anti-war

    song/video "Happy Springtime: Bush is Over (http://www.youtube.com

    /watch?v=Jco4etlHwaE)" frequently touted on progressive websites. Be sure to note the

    "BrettSongs/Innocent Music"  credit at the end. (Does anyone else see the irony in this?)

    If you take a look at the AmericanCrossRoadsWatch (http://www.velvetrevolution.us

    /acrw/signup.php) website, an initiative of Kimberlin's and Brad Friedman's Velvet 

     Revolution that intends to intimidate the right-leaning political advocacy organization

     American Crossroads (http://americancrossroads.org/), you'll see that its partners include

    notable groups like StopTheChamber.com (http://stopthechamber.com/), an

    anti-Chamber of Commerce group initiated by Change to Win

    (http://www.changetowin.org/) unions, and Democrats.com (http://democrats.com/),

    among many others. The buzz of going after these Velvet Revolution targets has got

    everyone from Rachel Maddow (http://www.americancrossroadswatch.org

    /index.php?q=node/62) to David Axelrod (http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter

    scary "Shadow RNC."

     ACW (http://www.americancrossroadswatch.org/index.php?q=node/62)

    So how is it that 18 years later, here we are again, the media, and now the blogosphere, are

     being fooled by the same character? While the left falsely accuses the Tea Party and similar

    groups of being racist and violent, here they have organizations founded by a convicted

    terrorist leading progressive campaigns that are smearing the right, once again.

    Has anyone in the mainstream media or in the progressive blogosphere bothered to take

    notice that this infamous character who once fooled noted journalists into launching afalse right-wing smear campaign is now at the center of a number of progressive

    campaigns to stifle the right?

    Is anyone challenging the popular progressive bloggers from sites such as Crooks and 

     Liars (http://crooksandliars.com/karoli/progressives-fight-back-100000-bounty-karl-)

    and BradBlog (http://www.bradblog.com/?p=4617) who have been riding the coattails of 

    Kimberlin while at the same time hiding behind the anonymity of his organizations'

    names? While some have pushed stories that have been suspected to have been sourced by 

    Kimberlin, the media turns a blind eye to this individual's long, criminal history of lying

    and spinning tall tales. Perhaps we should be revisiting some of those stories and their

    sources.

     And how about the famous bands and musicians (http://www.jtmp.org/) who team up with his organizations? Are they even aware of Kimberlin's history?

     Why are notable left wing philanthropy organizations like The Tides Foundation

    (http://www.tidesfoundation.org/fileadmin/tf_pdfs/Tides-Foundation-List-of-Grantees-

    2009.pdf) (which also funds Media Matters) funding a group associated with a

    convicted domestic terrorist?

    tides2 (http://www.tidesfoundation.org/fileadmin/tf_pdfs/Tides-Foundation-List-of-

    Grantees-2009.pdf)

     While the left-wing media spends countless hours of its production time trying to create

    the picture of impropriety around topics like American Crossroads and Andrew Breitbart,

     why not spend even just one hour researching the groups accusing such impropriety?

     Will anyone come out and repudiate their association with a convicted terrorist? In the

    end, this isn't so much about Kimberlin, but about the hypocrisy of the left.

     And of course, what must the citizens of Indianapolis think about Kimberlin's recent

    success, all of the money his organizations have been awarded by donors who seemingly 

    embrace a convicted criminal who caused their community such devastation and

    heartache? What must DeLong's family think? In 2007, when Time Magazine featured

    Kimberlin in its "Wizard of Odd Story," noted Indianpolis Star reporter Joe Gelarden

    (http://indiana.typepad.com/fwob/2007/01/subject_of_time.html), who closely covered

    all of the Kimberlin cases in great detail at the time, had something to say 

    (http://indiana.typepad.com/fwob/2007/01/subject_of_time.html) about the public's

    embrace of Kimberlin:

    Case 8:13-cv-03059-GJH Document 180-7 Filed 08/11/14 Page 7 of 11

    42/45

    Brett Kimberlin is a terrorist. While I firmly believe in the doctrine of redemption and

    conversion, I remember a few things about Brett that give me great pause.

    First, he was convicted of perjury - in federal court - before he got out of high school.

    Think about that for a moment.

    Second, he was not convicted of smoking a couple of joints when he was in high

    school. He was a major drug dealer who officials believe got into terrorism to throw 

    officials off the trail of a murder.

    Third, he planted a series of bombs in Speedway, Indiana that not only endangered alot of lives, but, when a guy bent over to pick up a gym bag in a school parking lot -

    Carl DeLong just wanted to turn in the bag to the school because he thought it

    contained a pair of $50 sneakers - it exploded.

    The blast shattered DeLong's body and that of his lovely wife Sandra.

    These assertions are not just words on some blog, they are in the record of the state

    and federal courts…

    I think that pretty much says it all, from a respectable Indianapolis journalist who lived

    through the story himself.
