Don’t Count Your Chickens Till They Come Home to Roost

Earlier this week, Cabin Boy Bill Schmalfeldt was asked who was paying his lawyer. He tweeted this response.

Deep Brain Radio The answer to that question depends on what the judge decides when we ask for attorney fees.
8:13 PM – 12 Jun 13

Alas for the poor Cabin Boy, the judge ruled against him. I won’t be paying his lawyer, so the question remains: who will?

Bill Schmalfeldt talks about having to make do on a disability pension. He doesn’t appear to have any great pile of assets. When he tried to raise money to sue me via an Internet bleg, he didn’t raise a cent. It’s not unreasonable to suspect that someone else is paying Schmalfeldt’s lawyer. The working out of that puzzlement is left to the Gentle Reader’s imagination.

We do know that the Cabin Boy and BreitbartUnmask, his boss at his former editorial gig at the Breitbart Unmasked website, acted as if they were looking forward to suing me. BreitbartUnmask tweeted:

BreitbartUnmask @LiberalGrouch He is in for a rude awakening . Message to Hoge; Walker is a shitty excuse 4 your attorney. Now get ready to pay motherfucker .
8:19 PM Mar 21st from Tweetbot for iOS
BreitbartUnmask @Xcitizen10 @Stranahan @wjjhoge @ AaronWorthing Hoge has things. Walker=garnishment Stranahan =default judgment he will skip out on.
9:40 PM Mar 21st from Tweetbot for iOS
BreitbartUnmask @Xcitizen10 @Stranahan @wjjhoge @ AaronWorthing All pretty close ;)
9:40 PM Mar 21st from Tweetbot for iOS
BreitbartUnmask @Xcitizen10 @wjjhoge Could it be that Hoge is on mental disability? Either way he will soon be feeling a hot poker up his wallet.
9:42 PM Mar 21st from Tweetbot for iOS

“Hoge has things.” Yes, I do. For example, Mrs. Hoge and I own the house I have referred to on this blog as Hoge Manor. Cabin Boy Bill, in his Liberal Grouch persona, posted this picture of our house on the Breitbart Unmasked site:hogehouse11

It seems that Schmalfeldt was unable to find a lawyer willing to represent him in a civil suit against me, at least not on a fee-contingent basis. That certainly wouldn’t be because I have no assets. More likely, every lawyer who looked at Schmalfeldt’s “case” quickly determined that there was nothing there—and asked for his fee up front.

Last night, Bill Schmalfeldt was tweeting confidently of his vindication in court today. He already has a pitch next to his donations button on the Patriot-Ombudsman site asking for money to help overturn his loss today. It will be interesting to see if he can raise any significant sum or, if he fails at that, whether he will learn his lesson and abide by the court’s order.

We shall see.

Team Kimberlin Post of the Day

Stacy McCain has a page on his site called How to Get a Million Hits on Your Blog. Of course, if you’re not into telling the truth, you can fake it. All you have to do is keep incrementing an apparent hit counter with bogus hits, and voila.

For example, here are screenshots from yesterday evening of what at first glance appears to be a page hit counter at the bottom of the Breitbart Unmasked (No, I won’t link to it.) home page.BUCounter

That’s over a million total hits with 133 in one hour, a rate of over 3,000 hits per day. Not bad for site that hasn’t been updated for more than a month.

The traffic stats from Alexa imply that Hogewash! has substantially more traffic that Breitbart Unmasked, but my page views normally run about 1/3 of what BU claims. Gentle Reader, do you believe that BU‘s claim is honest?

Me neither.

Team Kimberlin Post of the Day

I’ve been blessed to have a great deal of forensic help in reviewing physical and other evidence for my upcoming court cases. One of the analysts noticed the following claim in a comment to a post about the recent BlogBash made by someone calling himself “Texas Tim”:

First, thanks to the terrific staff at the Prince George’s Police Department who worked closely with me and my wife regarding security and protests. We came to an agreement on Wednesday not to protest in exchange for a promise of a large police presence at the scene.

Now, let me see if I have this straight. Some guy from Texas was organizing the protest for an event in Maryland. And he worked out a deal about protest vs. police presence. Really? I haven’t found anyone with the PG County Police who was aware of such an arrangement. Perhaps Tim can provide a name and/or badge number.

Tim says that he’s from Texas. Originally? Or did he just live there for a while—say, in the Corpus Christi area for a year or so in the 1979/80 time frame?

Team Kimberlin Post of the Day

While scrolling through Breitbart Unmasked (I read it so you don’t have to, and, no, I won’t link to it.), I’ve found several posts which contain false information about me. That isn’t particularly surprising considering that I believe the site is run by someone with a history of perjury, mortgage fraud, and other crimes—by someone who I believe is quite simply a liar. And not a particularly skillful one.

Several friends have asked why I don’t sue for defamation. If I did, I would probably win. Eventually. But it would be long process that would be more trouble that it would be worth. You see, being lied about by someone with so poor a reputation causes me no practical damage. No one in his right mind believes Breitbart Unmasked’s nonsense. Indeed, a case could be made that being treated as an enemy by the likes of Breitbart Unmasked is a badge of honor. Oh, I might be able to collect some nominal sum in damages, but it wouldn’t be worth the effort.

Yes, some of the nonsense is annoying, but easiest way to deal with the problem is to let Breitbart Unmasked rant on. For now. Truth has a way of winning in the end.

LG20130313Cabin Boy Bill Schmalfeldt seems fixated on the idea that some bloggers need donations in order to carry on with their work. Not all of us do. My day job supports my blogging, and it seems that CBBS’ blogging is his day job. I wonder. How much is he being paid by Breitbart Unmasked?

UPDATE—Heh.Patterico20130314UPDATE 2—Since he’s so concerned about other bloggers’ cash flow, one wonders why CBBS is unwilling to tell us how much he’s paid by his employer. After all, it’s just a question asked by those inquiring minds who want to know. Is he embarrassed because he works for so little—or so much? And why is it that so few folks hit his tip jar? Perhaps having sock puppets for followers isn’t profitable.

 

Who’s on First?

Someone using the sock puppet identity of Nemesis has a post over at Breitbart Unmasked (I read it so you don’t have to, and, no, I won’t link to it.) about how Aaron Walker is melting down. I lost count of the false and/or misleading statements in the piece. However, Nemesis does ask one question that is worthy of discussion:

When one person lives in Maryland and another doesn’t but somehow finds himself at the courthouse in the presence of someone he claims to “fear”, who is the stalker and who is the stalkee?

I would suppose the proper answer might depend on other facts surrounding the situation.

Suppose, for instance, the person from out of state had official business in the courthouse because he was a party in a hearing. Suppose the Maryland resident was from a different county and had no particular business at the courthouse. Suppose the Maryland resident drove around the parking lot twice (30+ minutes apart) obviously searching for something or someone, and suppose he drove off each time without ever getting out of his car or even parking it.

Given those facts, Gentle Reader, who would you guess might be a stalker?

Cabin Boy #BillSchmalfeldt and the Beanstalk

bu20130120Cabin Boy Bill Schmalfeldt is now the editor of Breitbart Unmasked (No, I won’t link to it). Although I have never seen him in person, his pictures on the Internet lead me to assume that his is a rather large fellow. Given the image on the masthead of BU, he must think of himself as a giant. The most famous giant who threatens to grind one’s bones for bread is the giant in Jack and the Beanstalk.

Fee-fi-fo-fum!
I smell the blood of an Englishman,
Be he alive, or be he dead,
I’ll have his bones to grind my bread.

Or so it goes in Joseph Jacobs classic version of the fairy tale. As I remember the story, it doesn’t turn out well for the giant.

Now, where did I put that axe?

Other than links to BradBlog, there’s been nothing new on the Velvet Revolution web site front page since the end of November. Justice Through Music Project has nothing new on its home page since the posting of an Op-Critical music video on 5 December.

Of course, it could be that The Dread Pirate Kimberlin has been busy. He says he works with Congresscritters every day, so maybe he’s been focused on the startup of the 113th Congress.

Or maybe he’s been having too much fun with Breitbart Unmasked.

Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum?

I read Breitbart Unmasked so that you don’t have to. That site has put up a post by its publisher, The Watchful Avenger, citing my larger than average collection of firearms as evidence that I’m preparing for a coming civil war.

Sigh.

I had had enough of war over 40 years ago. In January, 1972, I was in Viet Nam serving with the Army’s 12th Combat Aviation Group.

While I believe that the Second Amendment was adopted to insure that citizens would be able to resist the government if it were to become tyrannical, I don’t expect that to happen again in foreseeable future. (Happen again? Yes, we’ve had justified citizen rebellions against oppression, the Battle of Athens, for example.)

Would I participate in such an uprising? I don’t know. Several factors would weigh against that. First, most of my firearms are more suited to target shooting and hunting than 21st century military service. I suppose my scoped .270 would make a good sniper rifle, but ammunition supply could quickly become dicey in a real combat zone. Yes, I do have an AR-15, but it isn’t chambered for the commonly used 5.56 mm NATO/.223 Remington round. Yes, I have some older military rifles as collector items, but, once again, ammunition supply in combat would be iffy.

If I’m supposed to be stocking up for a fight, I’ve got the wrong stuff.

Second, my age. I’m 65. I’m too old for the Unorganized Militia under Title 10 of the U. S. Code (17 to 44, inclusive). I’m even too old to be recalled if I had been a Regular Army officer instead of a Reservist (up to 64).

ASIDE—My draft status (I still have my draft card) is 5A—veteran with completed obligation—and that’s fine by me. I note that the draft status of everyone whose name has been associated with Breitbart Unmasked, if they were of draftable age, would be 4F—physically (Cabin Boy Bill Schmalfeldt and First Mate Neal Rauhauser), mentally, or morally (Dread Pirate Kimberlin) unfit for service.

Would I take sides in a civil war? Probably. But supporting one side or the other would not require a geezer like me to go to the front.

Still, I doubt that a civil war is likely in my lifetime. My reasons for believing that are complex, and may be the subject of another post. Someday.

Team Kimberlin and Anti-Semitism

Stacy McCain has a post up about the nonsensical way Team Kimberlin and its enablers are using anti-Semitic slurs against Aaron Walker. Read the whole thing, but before you go, let me point out that Mr. Walker is not a Jew. Religiously, he’s a Presbyterian. Ethnically, his roots, like mine, are from the British Isles and Northern Europe. To paraphrase Disraeli, when Jews were serving as priests in the Temple of Solomon, our ancestors were roaming the woods of an undiscovered island.

Oh, one more thing. Anti-Semites are intellectual and moral scum.

On Accuracy in Reporting

It’s interesting to note the difference in how folks supporting the opposing sides of the federal Walker v. Kimberlin, et al. case have reported on yesterday’s dismissal.

One commenter is cheering a great victory and vindication, claiming that suit was dismissed with prejudice.

This site has published the judge’s actual order and supporting memorandum. These documents say nothing of a dismissal with prejudice.

One makes unsupported claims. The cites primary sources for facts.

The Gentle Reader may choose which to believe.

Dread Pirate #BrettKimberlin and Discovery

Posted on by
Reply

In his continuing effort to keep from complying with discovery in the lawsuits against him, TDPK has filed a Motion for Protective Order to Stay Discovery in the federal Walker v. Kimberlin, et al. case. Here it is.

Talk about a target rich environment for fisking and mockery!

<fisking>Much of this document is recycled drivel from previous filings that is not germane to the motion at hand. In the Argument section of the motion, TDPK cites Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c).

Protective Orders. (1) In General. A party or any persons from whom discovery is sought may move for a protective order in the court where the action is pending—or as an alternative on matters related to a deposition, in the court for the district where the disposition will be taken. The motion must include a certification that the movant has in good faith conferred or attempted to confer with other affected parties in an effort to resolve the dispute without court action. …

Gentle Reader, guess what’s missing from the motion? Yep, that’s right; there’s no certification that the movant (TDPK) has conferred with anyone about an out-of-court resolution to the dispute. The motion is defective if it lacks that certification.

Game Over!</fisking>

<mockery>Here we have another example of TDPK and his crew fighting above their weight. If one is going to file a motion in a court case, one really should include all the necessary elements for that type of motion. Furthermore, one should not burden the motion with non-germane arguments, especially counterfactual nonsense.

TDPK got an undergraduate degree related to community legal services (with a 3.96 GPA) while he was in the slammer; he also got certified as a paralegal. Clearly, none of that has been adequate training to allow him to stick to the appropriate forms for the motions he files. As Ogden Nash once wrote, “Too clever is dumb.”</mockery>

Those of you who do Twitter may want to check out my timeline (@wjjhoge) for some of the nonsensical blithering Team Kimberlin is emitting. Their foaming at the mouth is almost as much fun as I expect to have watching TDPK’s sanctions hearing in Manassas next Tuesday.

John Doe 1 (aka Breitbart Unmasked) has suggested bringing a camera so that he can interview me. Hmmmmm. If, as I suspect, John Doe 1 is TDPK, then he knows that cameras aren’t allowed in the courthouse. If it’s First Mate Neal Rauhauser (as Stacy McCain believes), it will be interesting to see him at the hearing on his default motion.

Stay tuned.

I’m Gonna Need a New Bogometer

Posted on by

Gentle Readers, I check out websites such as Breitbart Unmasked (No, I won’t link to it.) so that you don’t have to. A few days ago, that site came alive again with Cabin Boy Bill Schmalfeldt writing the posts. While checking it out today, my bogometer overheated.

Ah, I notice a puzzled expression on some faces. What is this thing called a bogometer?

The elementary particle of bogosity is the bogon. A bogometer measures the bogon flux emitted from a statement. The unit of measure of bogosity is the gore (Go). Most propositions have some bit of truth behind them, so the unit commonly used is the milligore (mGo). A completely false statement (such as 2+2=3) will have a net bogon flux of +1 Go or +1,000 mGo. A completely true statement (such as 2+2=4) will have a net bogon flux of -1 Go or -1,000 mGo.

While reading CBBS’s material, my bogometer spent all the time in the red zone, mostly pegged at +1 Go and rarely falling below 900 mGo. It’s burnt out, and my browser’s BS filter will take several hours to finish draining.

I should have known this would happen. After all, it seems that Bill Schmalfeldt is a liar.

Team Kimberlin Does Not Hold Me in High Regard

First Mate Neal Rauhauser says that I’m a “white trash hate talker.”

Cabin Boy Bill Schmalfeldt tweets about the allegedly unclean state of my whiskers.

John Doe 1 (aka Breitbart Unmasked) truthfully, but derogatorily, refers to me as a “Christian gun nut.” I am, in fact, a disciple of Jesus and a Life Member of the NRA.

The Gentle Reader is encouraged to scroll around this blog to see if such distaste is justified.

Meanwhile, 4 December is approaching, bringing a hearing on some important pretrial motions in the Virginia Walker v. Kimberlin, et al. case. If Team Kimberlin chooses to spend energy making snarky, childish remarks about me instead of preparing an adequate defense for the hearing, fine. I plan to be in the courtroom to watch what happens a week from tomorrow.

Stay tuned.

Tick, tock, tick, tock, …

UPDATE—You know, if someone with any credibility wrote some of the things Team Kimberlin have tweeted about me, I’d consider a libel suit. OTOH, I’m not really concerned about what those bozos have to say, and, even if I were, by the time the Walker v. Kimberlin, et al. cases are done, there probably won’t be anything left to recover as damages. So why bother.

Look Who’s Back

Breitbart Unmasked (No, I won’t link to it.) has gone live again, apparently merged with Cabin Boy Bill Schmalfeldt’s Liberal Grouch.

<mockery>Yawn.</mockery>

Well, if the Team Kimberlin hacker wannabes, trolls, and script kiddies want to spend their time this way, fine. It’ll keep ‘em from concentrating on a proper legal defense. 4 December is coming with hearings in the Virginia Walker v. Kimberlin, et al. case, and the federal case is moving toward discovery. Say, I wonder if Aaron Walker will amend the federal complaint to include CBBS now that he’s associated with one of the other defendants.

Stay tuned.

Relationships

On Halloween, Breitbart Unmasked rose up zombie-like and sent me a series of tweets. Their contents were utter rubbish, but because of some assertion made in them, I’d like to specifically describe my relationships with some of the good guys involved in the Walker v. Kimberlin, et al. lawsuits.

Aaron Walker. I have no business relationship with Aaron Walker. I first met him when I attended the 5 July Kimberlin v. Walker peace order trial. We have since become friends.

Dan Backer. I met Mr. Backer when I attended the 5 October hearing in Manassas. That was the hearing at which TDPK unsuccessfully sought sanctions against Mr. Backer. Other than finding out that he reads this blog and enjoys the astronomy pictures I sometimes post, the only relationship I have with Mr. Backer is that he is an occasional source of information about the lawsuits. He is a stickler for following the court’s instructions and the Virginia Supreme Court Rules, so I receive little information from him other than confirmation that documents have been filed. I have to retrieve them for myself.

Bloggers Defense Team. My only relationship to the Bloggers Defense Team is as a contributor who encourages others to contribute. I just donated again this morning. If you would like to support their work defending our First Amendment rights, go here and hit the Donate button.

I’d also like to tell you how much money I make off this blog. None. There are no ads or donation/subscription buttons. I’m not selling anything. This blog is probably best described as a hobby.

Thanks for stopping by.

UPDATE–Thank you to commenter Pablo for alerting me to the fact that WordPress.com has been inserting ads on this site. They were not showing in my browser. This is supposed to be a no-ads site. I pay an extra fee for that.

… this stuff was so over-the-top that I want to share with my Gentle Readers. These tweets were sent to me this evening by Breitbart Unmasked, who, if you have been following the Saga of TDPK, you’ll remember is one of the defendants in the federal Walker v. Kimberlin, et al. lawsuit. I find it amusing that he has the chutzpah to instruct me on my obligation to you Gentle Readers.

You need to read the tweets from bottom to top.UPDATE—And one more tweet from BU …I’ve never been in a jail as a prisoner. What was it like for you?

UPDATE 2—A note on the date stamp on the tweet. My computer clock is set to UTC which is ET+4 hours.

The Dread Pirate Kimberlin (who is in his late 50s) runs his operation out of his mother’s basement. Thus, it is sorta pathetic when his alter ego, John Doe 1, has to resort to a tweet like this:

The insultee’s Twitter username has been redacted.

We won’t have to wait much longer for discovery to begin in the federal Walker v. Kimberlin et al. lawsuit in which John Doe 1 is now a defendant. I bet I know who John Doe 1 really is. We’ll be learning his identity soon, and I’ll see if I’m correct.

#BrettKimberlin and Projection

Posted on by
Reply

The Breitbart Unmasked site (no, I won’t link there) which is most likely run by Brett Kimberlin hasn’t been updated since 3 July, a couple of days before the smackdown on Kimberlin v. Walker Peace Order hearing. Near the end of the 3 July post, Mr. Kimberlin engages in what appears to be a bit of pyshcological projection, attaching his own behavior to others.

Pretty easy to see who stands to benefit from this false narrative. The above people are all in it for one thing only, MONEY. It is a bullshit story ginned up to extreme highs all so the people who produced it can get paid.

This is exactly the scam Mr. Kimberlin is suspected of running with the Justice Through Music Project and the Velveeta Revolution. (No, I won’t link to those either.) The problem with that business model is that eventually the truth leaks out.

Justice through blogging. And then the courts.

The High Road—Not

Posted on by
Reply

Breitbart Unmasked (no, I will not link to it) has a post claiming that they are taking the high road and pulling down all the private information of opposing bloggers and blog commenters that they had posted. Patterico has his take on their trip on the high road; it isn’t pretty.

He gives a description of some of the private information that BU posted of one of his commenters.

The post opens with a picture of my commenter and his full name. It details information about where he supposedly works. It continues with information about a petition he supposedly signed. It then goes on to post information about the commenter’s marriage, the name of his wife, and links to divorce records. Then the post goes on to list the job title of the commenter’s father as well as past cities in which the commenter’s father has lived and worked.
The post then has a picture, from Google Street View, of the commenter’s home.
Let me just say that again:
Breitbart Unmasked posted a picture of the home of one of my commenters.
A later tweet by Breitbart Unmasked stated (I am closely paraphrasing): “I wonder what [redacted] thinks about all this lol.” The part I have redacted is the name of my commenter’s father. It is an unusual name and Breitbart Unmasked was clearly throwing it out there as a threat.

We’ll see how long it takes before they detour back to the low road. I’ll bet less than a couple of days.
