The Cabin Boy™ is trying to dance his way around the trail of evidence of his forging the header he claimed was from an email sent to him by Lynn Thomas.As a commenter has noted, the version of the email header initially posted on the Cabin Boy’s™ blog is not the same as what is there now. However, my analysis was done on what was posted on Twitter, not his blog. (Others have done analyses on the original images from the blog, and those have been consistent with what I found on Twitter.)
The URL for that tweet is twitter.com/themerrywidower/status/666375731480559616, but it has now been memory-holed.
However, the attachments were both downloaded and screenshots were taken of them. Here’s what the header looked like as seen on the original tweet. (Click to embiggen.)As the Gentle Reader can see, the one intermediate time stamp is 13:51:01 while all the others show hh:15:01 (depending on time zone).
Spoliation of evidence won’t save the Cabin Boy™. Rather, it creates the presumption that the multiple archived copies are true and correct. That presumption is reinforced by his habit of putting potentially embarrassing evidence down the memory hole.
What’s waiting for the Cabin Boy™ in Room 101? The Truth.
UPDATE—I could keep the Cabin Boy™ putting up new versions of the “true” header by dribbling out bits of evidence over time, but I’m not in this as a game of gotcha. He needs to understand that we got him cold on this one. The Vast Hogewash Research Organization has documented the various versions of the header that he’s published. We know when they were created. We know which word processor he used. We know what other tools he used. Etc. I’ll throw out one more bit of information. We know when the original email header he altered was sent: Sunday, 15-Nov-15 19:42:01 UTC. That information is embedded in all the files he has published.
Bill Schmalfeldt is a liar and a forger.
Q.E.D.
Something about liars and what they do.
Would’ve been better if he’d just memory-holed the incident but he always has to double-down on stupid.
The truth is not in him.
Stupid is all he knows. It’s the entire body of his life’s work.
Funny, that is, how he always memory holes things and yet we leave things up, even things that he seems to think are utterly embarrassing to us. Hmmmmmm.
Note, also, the red underlining of “spelling errors” – he’s got that text (it was never an email message) open in a word processor!
It’s photographic evidence that he edited it!
Plus, he neglected to “fix” the other glaring errors obvious to the knowledgeable, only the trivial one that was a “gimme” from Professor Hoge…
Dance, monkey!!!
Give him another clue, so we can see another “true” version of the “email”!
Personally, I kinda love the tinge of “We’ve always been at war with Eastasia.” The Big BM is his own Ministry of Truth.
On the gripping hand, his “proof” is an email asking him to stop harassing someone. All it would prove, if genuine, is that he’s still a harasser.
We do need to remember we’re dealing with a child who claims a letter he wrote is forged because the signature looks too much like his.
Yeah, this episode REALLY adds to his credibility.
“Bill Schmalfeldt is a liar and a forger” and a producer of child porn, and a multi adjudicated harasser of women, children, and dead babies
Who gets off on the reaction of people who point out what sort of person he actually is.
most scumbag criminals usually do
I come here to this site because I’m interested in Kimberlin’s crimes, so naturally I had to learn a little about forgery. I am by no means an expert now but what I’ve seen in CBBS’s forgeries (plural now) on this one matter is actually quite easy to understand as a non-expert. Noticing and understanding the problems with CBBS’s documents – and there are quite a few – does go way faster if you can show it to a people with a certain kind of expertise in image editing, and then there are some more problems that will be quickly noticed by a person with a certain kind of expertise in email handling. Consult your local knowledgable people; they will be able to come up with several absolutely fatal problems in Bill’s forgeries, including even the “fixed” forgery he whipped up right after he saw the recent Team Kimberlin Post of the Day illustrating one of his problems.
And I clarify: After Hoge made his TKPotD entry some hours ago, Bill quickly DELETED the copies he’d posted of his ORIGINAL version of the forgery; then uploaded new copies including two edits that were supposed to “fix” it (one of which Mr. Hoge pointed out and one CBBS obviously noticed himself), and unbeknownst to him, the header alone still has a fatal error that proves beyond any doubt that it’s a forgery. And I’m not even going to get into the image editing angle, where – I have been shown to beyond my satisfaction – not only is Bill most definitely lying about the documents, but he still hasn’t learned several of the ways he gave that away.
I am heartened by this episode because I am now almost sure there are similar kinds of flaws, as yet unexamined, in some other things he’s posted in the last couple years, all of which are faithfully preserved in many archives.
All, I’ve seen this same story play out in other non-Kimberlin connected cases. When you have EVEN ONE forger in a group of criminals, try showing their images and documents to people with special expertise in the type of document and who know deep details of how they are created. You don’t have to say a word to the expert about forgery or what the document is about. Just tell them what it purports to be, and ask them to look at it for a few minutes and say if they see something unusual. It’s amazing some of the things people have found in past incidents. Although frankly Bill’s particular case isn’t very amazing and my own little survey suggests the fatal problems with Bill’s forgery are easily and quickly spotted by those who look at it. And, again, they’re spotting fatal email header inconsistencies in addition to the inconsistencies Bill tried to memory hole last night.
Bad Brain. His disease progresses I suppose, but he’s always had one. I wonder what the monks will do with him when he starts making trouble where he lives. I guess they must be used to the jerkdom of the demented.
Bad brain? Do you think he injested too much dirty weenie juice?
Has he ever ingested anything wholesome?
Hey, at least he hasn’t tried the “Fake but accurate” defense.
Yet.

Like he’d take any suggestions made by a “dim” librarian. 😀
That Bill Schmalfeldt forged a header is known. The real question is why he opted to forge the header? Instead of simply attaching a forged body to an actual header he opted to change the timestamp on the header. I see one possible explanation. Lynn Thomas sent him a “no contact” demand. Bill Schmalfeldt punished that demand, be it altered. Had Bill Schmalfeldt contacted Lynn Thomas between the time he received the “no contact” demand and the later time posted on the forged header he could try to claim he hadn’t received the demand yet.
That makes sense.
Which is why BS couldn’t do it.
Well, one thing’s for sure, the Cabin Boy was in totally over his head. In principle, creating a more convincing forgery would have been possible, although evidently not by him. As for why he needed all these convoluted steps to achieve this total failure result, that could be due to booze, or it could be due to trying to comply to a demand of Kimberlin; who knows exactly how people like that think.
Clearly Hoge is so magically that when he downloads JPG files from twitter they magically change.
Kimberlin is going to be very dissatisfied. No doggie biscuit today.
It’s like an episode of Fawlty Towers, minus Sybil trying to restrain Basil from embarking upon yet another cunning plan.
Stop trying to be clever, Blob. You just aren’t good at it.
He can memory hole the earlier version of the forgery with the stupid transposition error, but it lives on forever in the Wayback Machine!

That your “excellent friend” really knows you quite well?
http://kimberlinunmask.com/files/mst3ku136.jpg
ISTR the “lie” was a conditional statement Cabin Boy didn’t meet, and the “forgery” is supposedly suspect because the signature too closely matches his own.
Meanwhile, his “most excellent friend” has been convicted of both, as well as of planting bombs and maiming innocent people.
You’re talking to yourself?
And, inasmuch (one word) as Bill is calling Mr. Hoge a forger; that’s borderline Libel. If Schmally had any credibility to begin with.

Hey, c’mon, give Schmalfeldt a break. The guy has to do a different line-up of dances each day, for two different sets of customers.
First he has to do his willful, convincing dance for Kimberlin upon request.
Then he has to do his reactionary, convoluted dance for Kimberlin’s perceived enemies, also seemingly upon request.
Poor guy has a lot of responsibilities.
HYPERTECHNICAL!!!!!!!
(Did I get the right number of exclamation points?)
I usually throw in an eleventy for good measure.
I’m waiting for the next theory: that someone forged the e-mail, and sent it to him. But Ms. Thomas was in on it, because she can’t be innocent. So she arranged someone else to send the forged e-mail in hopes of trapping Our Hero, but he was too clever, saw through the ploy, and only pretended to be fooled to draw the Real Guilty Parties out.
Is that stupid enough to pass muster as a Schmalfail?
Bill?
I truly did laugh out loud.
“So, given the lack of any future exculpatory evidence, …”
How can a projected lack of something from the future be a given.
I know; it’s Kyle and his damned pony changing the timeline again, isn’t it?
Schmalogic.
I KNEW IT
Ooh, ooh, I know.
He mocked up a copy of a real e-mail message, dammit, ’cause his copy-and-paste keys weren’t working; yeah, that’s it.
Won’t you just be embarrassed when he’s able to produce the true original e-mail message once he’s gotten all the spilled JWR cleaned out of is keyboard….

Overcooked carrots?
For Winston Smith, it was rats.
For Bill Schmalfeldt that would be a room without internet access.
I’d have thought a single straight line on the floor would be enough truth to spin him into a fit. Too much truth to handle.
I’m actually impressed that Schmallmind is simultaneously able to have his foot in his mouth and his head buried so far up his own ass without violating the laws of physics.
Physics? No.
Anatomy? If it were human, probably; since it’s a testicle footed, penis headed … thing; I dunno.

And let us not forget the other proof that @
happy-its-wife-is-deadTheMerryWidower forged the document/header: Look up sha-256. The Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) in the header does not match the SHA of the message he displays. Forget the multiple screw-ups on the time stamps – the message and the header are two different entities entirely.There is a reason why email headers look like a bunch of junk – so they can’t be easily forged. For someone outside a professional hacker group to even try is going to lead to epic failure like this.
A professional hacker group would do it the easy way, they would hack your email account and use it to send the forgery.
Indeed. Or alternately, use an anonymizer to ‘fake’ the email address.Those used to be pretty funny back in the day.
There are a dozen ways to create a validly formatted “fake” email – none of which Bill knows or understands.
The main thing he needs to know is, should he ever try to use such evidence in a lawsuit (or to convince the police a crime has been committed), the very first thing the defense is going to do is subpoena the mail servers in the headers for the message contents *as they passed through the servers*, in order to validate the contents of the evidence presented under penalty of perjury.
It’s all fine and good (read: slimy and despicable) for Bill to attempt to gull the gullible with his manufactured emails.
The courts will have a dimmer view.
No fact finder is going to be the slightest bit interested in Blob’s altered screen grabs. You got an email? Let’s see the complete original email. You say you don’t have it anymore? Then you didn’t get an email.
Well, then, if he gets a lady judge, he can whip out his “DIM, DIM GIRL” line.
Or call her a twat or the c word. I hear lady judges love that.
Bill’s silence on this thread, compared to his mouthiness yesterday, speaks volumes.
I was thinking just that.

Waiting. Really. Looking to the sky and all that.

I’m still waiting for the postal inspectors to show up at my door with the local media to haul me off to do federal time while destroying my reputation with my neighbors. I believe that was the threat 11 months ago, and again about 4 months after that.
I’m not holding my breath.
Hey, aren’t we coming up on a magic anniversary?
We should pitch in and get him something!
I’m waiting for the postal inspectors to come interrogate me for my “knowledge” of who forged the letter and then sent to Hoge that Schmally wrote. I think my hair will go completely gray before that happens.

Ooh….
Bill
Is the office following your twit feed and blog now? wonder how they are going to process your telling the world that I am going to be sued by their organization for your child porn-scout rape children gagged and raped satire distribution from their grounds.
What was the name of the kind officer that you played it for – was it the same officers that sat on your non existent porch back in Maryland and said nice things to you too?
Also, why did you erase the Dirty S blog with all those articles about them and me and how I was going to jail for contacting them except that you knew no one contacted them. Funny that again, no one has contacted me, either the sheriff nor the masters of Juniper Court.
Bill, did you tell them about your plans to transmit Scout Rape fantasies from their premises before you moved in? Do the other residents know that you are doing that? If not they soon will.
How come you keep deleting stuff? Why go to all that work and then delete it? Is it because it may have very negative consequences?
I ask this is the open and legal manner of the Acme school of intrusive and repetitive investigative journalism.
Did the lawyers from the Hatch act in DC get ahold of you as well?
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
It was the same officer who moonlights working as a clerk at the courthouse on Christmas Eve.
Sure and as pissed Cindy was I’m sure she immediately was hovering over Bill and saying why YES WE PROTECT THE RIGHT of our Sisters of Mercy Residents to broadcast the raping and urinating on Boy Scouts because – that’s what we are here for
He does? I thought he worked as photographer at NASA, and had an “African tinge.”

You know what’s amazing about those results? What really shines like a beacon in the darkness?
10 people voted in his poll. Only ONE voted the way he expected that “They face charges.” ONE PERSON.
Nine people voted that he would be evicted/thrown out of his apartment.
So out of all Bills excellent friends who was the one brave soul who voted to stand up and support him? And who were he is so-called friends that voted against him?… that is if they even took the time to vote and show some support, however meager, to their pal. It’s an anonymous online poll you are supporting not like driving a guy to court every month! How hard is it to log in to twitter click a button and then go on your way? And yet they couldn’t even manage to do that for Bill.
Matt Osborne… William Ferguson… that Harada person… BK himself? That’s like 4 slam dunk votes Bill should have had. He still only managed to pull ONE. ONE VOTE!!
Nice friends he has there.
My sides are in orbit. ;D
You know he voted for himself, right.
That’s what makes it even more magical!
There are some things Team Kimberlin is willing to do for each other… voting in meaningless online polls to support a friend is a bridge too far!
;D
I actually had a look at his twitter yesterday. 11 followers? Incredible, I didn’t know it was possible to have that few.
