This post from eleven years ago today discussed on of the consequences resulting from one failed bit of Brett Kimberlin’s lawfare. It was titled #BrettKimberlin Hoist By His Own Petard.

* * * * *

When Brett Kimberlin went to court on Wednesday, he came out the loser. He had started the ball rolling by seeking a peace order against John Norton. At the end of the process, John Norton was free and clear, but Brett Kimberlin still had the peace order filed by Mr. Norton against him on the books. The expression hoist by his own petard comes to mind, and it fits especially well in this case.

You see, a petard is an explosive charge used to breach the gate or wall of a fortification. Back in the 16th and 17th centuries, a sapper would run up to the enemy wall, attach the bomb, and run away. If the petard’s fuze burned too quickly, the sapper could wind up flying through the air, thrown by the force of the blast—hoist by his own petard.

If the shoe fits, …

Tick, tick, tick, tick, …

Heh.

In 2012, I was just a blogger reporting from the sidelines on Brett Kimberlin’s campaign of lawfare and cyberharassment. This post about #BrettKimberlin and Chutzpah eleven years ago today.

* * * * *

I want to be left alone. I don’t want to start more litigation.

A week ago, I was in a courtroom in Rockville, Maryland, when I heard Brett Kimberlin say those words. Left alone to do what?

Here’s a fellow who has a criminal background. He received a sentence of over 50 years for various crimes. He served about one-third of his time and was paroled, had his parole revoked, and did some more time before being paroled a second time. It would be one thing if he were to continue to claim that he was innocent and unjustly convicted, but Mr. Kimberlin has from time to time denied ever being imprisoned for the crimes he was convicted of committing. He has shown no remorse for anything. He has made no restitution to his victims. What we see here is a convicted perjurer who continues to lie about his background. We see someone who does not appear to be living a reformed life.

Many people would be inclined not to trust such a man. Yet, Mr. Kimberlin asserts that bringing up information about his past is harassment. Simply asking questions about possible involvement in a crime is harassment. I heard this exchange in court (B is Reginald Bours, Aaron Walker’s lawyer; K is Brett Kimberlin):

B: And have you caused Mr. Walker to be SWATted by the Fairfax County or the Prince William County Police?
K: That is a despicable claim, and—
B: Yes or no.
K: —I resent it. I resent it! He knows I didn’t. And you know I didn’t. And you’re trying to again harass me, you are harassing me, just like—
B: I’m asking [begin crosstalk] if you are responsible for someone calling the police,[end crosstalk]
K: No! You’re harassing me. This man, this man, this man.
B: Excuse me sir, I am asking you, yes or no, are you responsible—
K: No! Absolutely not.

Brett Kimberlin is running a couple of not-for-profits that support left wing causes. In doing so, he opens himself up for investigation of his bona fides. Is he the kind of person one would trust in such a position?

Of course, Brett Kimberlin wants to be left alone. Shining the light of truth in his direction exposes who he was and still appears to be, and that doesn’t fit his business model.

UPDATE–Bob Belvedere [dead link] writes:

Poor convicted domestic terrorist bomber, drug-dealer, chief suspect in the murder of a grandmother, suspected pedophile Brett Kimberlin…all he vants is to get his Garbo on …

Read the whole thing, but one thing needs to be corrected. Brett Kimberlin did not leave the Norton hearing in a “Waaahmbulance.”

UPDATE 2–Stacy McCain says:

Brett Kimberlin is a vicious liar, a coward and a bully who dishonestly claims victimhood while he unjustly harasses those who speak the truth about him. Yet he has the unmitigated gall to stand in a courtroom and tell a judge that he only wants to be left alone!

UPDATE 3—I was remiss in not crediting the hearing quotes to Aaron Walker who published them here.

UPDATE 4–I’m just a guy on the sideline, cheering for the good guys, but on the sideline still. While I was at the 5 July hearing for Aaron Walker, I was not at the Norton hearing. My correction to the Waaahmbulance story is based on what I have heard from others.

* * * * *

I kept following the story, and as a result of my reporting, I wound up as one of Kimberlin’s targets. He wound up suing me. That probably was the worst mistake he made since the turn of the century.

I’m not done with him yet.

It was eleven years ago that Brett Kimberlin filed a false criminal complaint against Aaron Walker. I published Breaking!—Aaron Walker Arrested eleven years ago today.

* * * * *

Stacy McCain is reporting that Aaron Walker was taken into custody following the Kimberlin v. Walker hearing this morning.

Stay tuned.

UPDATE–The Other McCain reports:

Just spoke to a source who confirms that witnesses saw Walker led out of the courtroom in handcuffs. Ali Akbar, president of the National Bloggers Club, Tweets: Will know more on Aaron’s situation at 3:30/4:30pm.

UPDATE 2–Gateway Pundit has a copy of the final peace order posted.

UPDATE 3–Ali Akbar tweets:

#BrettKimberlin is planning on serving at least 5 of us in the coming days. So his allies say. Ready.

UPDATE 4–There are more posts about Brett Kimberlin and his abuse of bloggers on the HOME page. Scroll down through the past week.

UPDATE 5–An eye witness report of the hearing is posted [expired link].

UPDATE 6–Another eye witness report is here.

UPDATE 7–katgburke tweets that the Montgomery County State’s Attorney says the arrest was for violation of the peace order not the assault charge.

UPDATE 8–The Blaze, OTOH, is reporting that they were told by a court clerk that the arrest was for the assault charge. This shows how difficult it is to get correct information on a breaking story. Sit tight. Stay tuned. The truth is out there.

UPDATE 9–@AaronWorthing (that’s Aaron Walker) tweets:

I cant say more until I talk to my lawyer but… i do really need your help right now. And I appreciate your support.

The donation web site is [expired link].

UPDATE 10—Eugene Volokh has a post on Aaron Walker, Brett Kimberlin, and the Fog of Litigation. Read the whole thing, including the comments.

Of course, the charge against Aaron was eventually dropped and the underlying peace order overturned on appeal.

It was eleven years ago this week that Brett Kimberlin’s campaign of cyberharassment expanded to include Stacy McCain as well as Aaron Walker. Eleven years ago today, Kimberlin’s PR site Breitbart Unmasked ran a series of five posts filled with lies about both Stacy and Aaron trying to frame a narrative to support Kimberlin’s attempt at brass knuckles reputation management. One of the posts ended with these words.

The story is being ginned up to gain a major news organization to follow it. The right wingers have been tweeting every minute for the last week trying to gin up interest in Brett Kimberlin who they have vowed to destroy. So this is just another ploy to gain more interest, and of course be able to claim that they are all being attacked and silenced by liberals, which is a common refrain from right wing extremists who feel they are not being allowed to have a voice, and that others, including liberals, are working hard to suppress their free speech rights.

I am sure we will hear more of this story as it goes on.

We have hears quite a bit about the Saga of Team Kimberlin, and I’m not done with them yet.

Oh, and about Kimberlin’s reputation: He’s still the Speedway Bomber.

The TKPOTD for five years ago today took a look back at an earlier post dealing with Brett Kimberlin and false narratives.

* * * * * * *

The TKPOTD from dealt with The Dread Deadbeat Pro-Se Kimberlin’s projection of harassment and false narratives onto the targets of his vexatious LOLsuits.

* * * * *

Harassment and False Narratives are two of the recurring themes in The Dread Pro-Se Kimberlin’s pleadings he files in all his vexatious lawsuits. He’s now filed what he hopes will be his second amended complaint in the Kimberlin v. The Universe, et al. RICO Madness, and both Harass/Harassment and False Narrative(s) appear throughout the 80+ pages of the document.

Care to guess how many times each appears?

The TKPOTD for five years ago today looked back to an earlier post that dealt with the differences between Brett Kimberlin’s and Bill Schmalfeldt’s false narratives dealing with the identity of the anonymous blogger Paul Krendler. Kimberlin had claimed that I was Krendler as part of his attempts to get me charged with online harassment of Tetyana Kimberlin’s older daughter.

* * * * * * *

Among the false narratives that Team Kimberlin has tried to peddle are the contradictory stories about the secret identity of “Paul Krendler.” While The Dreadful Pro-Se Schmalfeldt is usually fixated on the idea that Patrick Grady is Paul Krendler, he has alleged that others (including himself) are The Thinking Man’s Zombie. As the TKPOTD from three years ago today notes, The Dread Deadbeat Pro-Se Kimberlin, OTOH, has been consistent in his claim that I am Paul Krendler.

* * * * *

I’m reasonably certain that The Dreadful Pro-Se Schmalfeldt haz sad cuz he didn’t get to ask me under oath about the identity of Paul Krendler.

As I have already said under oath, I don’t know.

In paragraph 58 of his complaint in the Kimberlin v. Team Themis, et al. RICO2: Electric Boogoloo LOLsuit, Paul Krendler is identified as me.

I don’t know who Krendler is, but I do know that I’m not he.

* * * * *

There’s been speculation that the Cabin Boy™ is ginning up LOLsuit IX in a fit of pique over his self-inflicted inability to land a job. If he’s stupid enough to file such a suit, I believe that he’ll find some way to tie Paul Krendler into it. It’s also probably a safe bet that he’d file in the wrong venue, fail to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, and whine when the case is dismissed.

* * * * * * *

Vigilans Vindex posted this cartoon to the comment of the 2018 post.I suppose we can conclude that Schmalfeldt’s career as a pro-se plaintiff has been zombified.

The month of March has not been kind to Brett Kimberlin. March, 2015, was particularly brutal to him. On Friday the Thirteenth, his bogus peace order petition against me was denied, and on the following Monday, his RICO Madness LOLsuit was dismissed except for one claim against only one of the 24 defendant. The TKPOTD for one year ago today chronicled yet another loss in court for the Speedway Bomber.

* * * * *

The Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit has published the mandate in Brett Kimberlin’s appeal which it denied earlier this month.

He has 90 days from the date the court’s order was issued (9 March) to file for a petition for a writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court. (Supreme Court Rule 13)

* * * * *

Kimberlin got one of the usual suspect law firms to represent him pro bono and filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court. His petition was denied.

Today is the eight anniversary of the District Cour’s denial of the false peace order petition Brett Kimberlin filed against me on behalf of Tetyana Kimberlin’s elder daughter.

Qapla’!

After the hearing, Breitbart Unmasked ran a copy of some tweets that Kimberlin tried to introduced as evidence. They supposedly proved that I posted a comment to an article at the Montgomery County Gazette.perjury1Because I denied making such a comment and could not authenticate the tweet as mine, Matt Osborne tried to gen up a false story that I perjured myself.

Bullshit!

I couldn’t authenticate the tweets as mine, because ithey weren’t. They’re retweets. The original tweets (and I presume the comment at the Gazette) was by Lee Stranahan.Stranahan201308281627ZI took me all of two minutes to find that original tweet via Google.

BTW, Kimberlin must be a very slow learner, because he tried to offer the same tweets as evidence in the Walker v. Kimberlin, et al. trial.

BY MR. KIMBERLIN:
Q   Did you ever read an article about my daughter in the Bethesda Gazette?

A   No. I, I’ve read several comments about it. I was aware of it. I did click on it, and look at it to see that it existed, but I didn’t bother to read it.

Q   I’m going to show you Exhibit 31.

A   Oh, yeah, these are the forged comments that you tried to introduce in the peace order hearing back in March of 2015.

Q   Do you recognize that one?

A   I–

THE COURT: He just said that they’re forged, so he can’t authenticate them.

THE WITNESS: I cannot authenticate it; they’re forged.

Insanity is trying the same thing over again expecting a different result.

Today is the eighth anniversary of a post at Breitbart Unmasked Bunny Billy Boy Unread by Matt Osborne trying to put a positive spin on the false peace order petition Brett Kimberlin filed against me on behalf of Tetyana Kimberlin’s elder daughter. He ended his post with this paragraph—

How will Hoge cope with being an adjudicated stalker of teenage girls? How will a six-month peace order affect his gun permit, or his employment at the Goddard Space Flight Center? These are the questions BU will ask and try to answer. Stay tuned!

Ask stupid questions and you’ll get unexpected answers, Bunny Boy.

I’ve never had to cope with being an adjudicated stalker because both a District Court and a Circuit Court judge saw through Kimberlin’s lies. Even if the peace order had gone through, it wouldn’t have affected a Maryland gun permit, but since pre-Bruen Maryland was a may-issue (read, won’t-issue) state, I didn’t have a Maryland carry permit.

I was told that the peace order petition and the Kimberlin and Schmalfeldt emails to NASA did result in criminal investigations being opened, but I was not a target.

Because they didn’t fit Kimberlin’s false narrative, BU never published the answers to those questions.

BTW, Osborne’s post was still up as of 9:30 pm yesterday evening.

Eight years ago today, Breitbart Unmasked publish the first of a series of defamatory articles about me. This Prevarication Du Jour was my initial response.

* * * * *

Matt Osborne has published a blatantly false and defamatory article over at Breitbart Unmasked (safe link) titled William Hoge Stalking A Teenager For His Conspiracy Theory. This paragraph is among the most egregious.BU20150304

Mrs. Kimberlin’s Application for Statement of Charges (available here) does not allege anything about a bomb factory or BDSM. Osborne’s assertions are utter rubbish. More important, they are lies.

The list of additional false statement in the post includes, but is not limited to—

That I have stalked Kelsie Kimberlin.
That I have taken any action with respect to Ms. Kimberlin’s music career.
That the process server employed by my lawyer was sent to photograph Brett Kimberlin.

Matt Osborne owes the truth to what few readers he has. He needs to back up the assertions in William Hoge Stalking A Teenager For His Conspiracy Theory with documentary evidence or he must retract them and apologize. He should do so not later than midnight Saturday Eastern Time.

Finally, because Breitbart Unmasked does not publish a snail mail address, I hereby notify Breitbart Unmasked and Matt Osborne that they should preserve all documents, records, files, etc., relating to me personally, the Hogewash! blog, Brett Kimberlin, and/or Kelsie Kimberlin that may be in their possession or under their control.

* * * * *

A few days later, Kimberlin made the mistake of filing a false peace order petition against me on behalf of Tetyana Kimberlin’s older daughter.

That did not go well for him.

One of the differences between this blog and the online screeds published by Team Kimberlin is that Hogewash! tries to follow stories through to their conclusions. Consider this TKPOTD from seven years ago today.

* * * * *

Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen—but you wouldn’t know it from reading Bretibart Unmasked Bunny Boy Unread. 57F Osborne was all hot to promote the bogus peace order petition and the false criminal charge filed against me earlier this year and The Dread Pro-Se Kimberlin’s frivolous RICO Retread LOLsuit. He hasn’t been so keen to cover what has really happened in those cases.

Cabin Boy™ Bill Schmalfeldt has described Bretibart Unmasked Bunny Boy Unread as a “prime source for news, hearsay, lies and innuendo. Oh, yeah. Smears, too!”

Just so.

It was ten years ago today, that I first covered a court hearing involving Brett Kimberlin. It was Aaron Walker’s successful appeal finally overturning the peace order that had be granted by Judge Vaughy. This was one of Kimberlin’s first losses in his failed campaign of lawfare, and it certainly wasn’t the last.

Oh, and since I didn’t say this then, I’ll say it now: Qapla’

In 2015, Brett Kimberlin filed a frivolous peace order petition against me alleging that I had harassed Tetyana Kimberlin’s elder daughter by writing truthful things about him. Two judges denied his petition. Then, Tetyana Kimberlin filed a perjured Application for Statement of Charges against me based on the same false claims. The State’s Attorney’s Office dropped the charges. If there wasn’t sufficient evidence to support a peace order which only requires proof to a preponderance of the evidence, a criminal case requiring proof beyond a reasonable doubt was a waste of time and resources.

Seven years ago today, I used the TKPOTD to suggest that it would be good for certain parties to recant defamatory remarks they had made.

* * * * *

Now that the frivolous peace order and false criminal charge related to harassing a minor child have both been disposed of, I want to encourage those who wrote and/or published defamatory articles or comments about me to retract their statements and apologize for them.

* * * * *

My advice was ignored, so I began taking corrective action.

I’m not done with them yet.

Today is the seventh anniversary of a hearing the peace order petition which Brett Kimberlin filed against me on behalf of his wife’s elder daughter. During the evening following the hearing, I posted this about Today in Court: #BrettKimberlin’s Case.

The post refers to Kimberlin’s inability to testify because of a perjury conviction. At the time of the hearing, Maryland was the last state which banned convicted perjurers from testifying in court. During the next session of the legislature after this hearing, the state senator representing the district where Kimberlin lives introduced legislation to end the ban on perjurers testifying. The bill passed, and the ban was repealed.

* * * * *

I’m going to do my writeup of today’s peace order hearing two parts. The first will deal with what happened before the lunch break while Brett Kimberlin was putting on his case. A second post will deal with my response. For a more detailed legal analysis of the case, check out Aaron Walker’s post.

As a preliminary matter, my lawyer raised the issue of Kimberlin being unable to testify in a Maryland court because of his previous perjury conviction. The back-and-forth over that burned up about ten or fifteen minutes and ended with Judge Williams ruling that Kimberlin could not testify.

Kimberlin made an opening statement outlining what he planned to prove with the evidence and testimony of others. During that opening statement he told several lies. One was that I attended a hearing relating to a mental health petition he had filed against his wife. I did not. On 9 July, 2013, I attended a hearing which dealt with protective orders that the Kimberlins had filed against each other. At the end of that hearing, Mrs. Kimberlin was detained. I left the courtroom while she was still in handcuffs but later found out that she was held because of a surprise mental health petition Kimberlin had filed. The judge released her and denied the petition within a few minutes.

Kimberlin also lied by claiming that I had approached his wife and offered her “things of value.” In fact, our first contact came when she approached me in a restaurant while I was waiting to meet someone else. While I was among a group of people who offered her assistance and paid for a lawyer to represent her in a hearing, I didn’t offer her anything of value to do anything for me or at my direction.

Kimberlin also said during his opening statement that I am “Paul Krendler.” I am not.

Kimberlin then called his first witness—Aaron Walker. Aaron’s testimony did not go well for the Petitioner. Aaron wound up testifying about the various claims of defamation that Kimberlin had made in the Kimberlin v. Walker, et al. nuisance lawsuit and the fact that my codefendants and I won the case on summary judgments and directed verdicts.

Next, Kimberlin called his daughter, the nominal petitioner, to the stand. She testified that she had been bullied at school and that when she had changed schools, her fellow students had googled her and found out about her father and ostracized her. Kimberlin tried to bring in the issue of his being called a pedophile through her testimony. At that point, the hearing had been going on for an hour, mostly because of non-germane points Kimberlin kept raising. The judge had had enough. He told Kimberlin—

I’ve given you some latitude. That. Is. Done.

Kimberlin rested his case, and the judge ordered a lunch break.

Stay tuned for Part Two.

I started writing about Brett Kimberlin’s vain attempts to use pro se lawfare to silence his perceived enemies in late May, 2012. By the end of summer that year, it was becoming obvious that his efforts were not going to be successful whenever they were opposed with proper legal support. Indeed, one of his peace order efforts backfired, and I wrote about it nine years ago today in this post titled #BrettKimberlin Hoist on His Own Petard.

* * * * *

When Brett Kimberlin went to court on Wednesday, he came out the loser. He had started the ball rolling by seeking a peace order against John Norton. At the end of the process, John Norton was free and clear, but Brett Kimberlin still had the peace order filed by Mr. Norton against him on the books.

Just like all the other members of Team Kimberlin, Neal Rauhauser is a failure. He’s the author of the pro se litigation scheme that backfired so wonderfully against both Kimberlin and Schmalfeldt. While he had some short-term success doing social engineering for leftwing organizations, almost everything he has touched turned to lead instead of gold.

One of Rauhauser’s failed projects was a plot to get bloggers who were writing about Team Kimberlin thrown off of Twitter. His plan wasn’t well thought out and was poorly executed. It led to this post from eight years ago today which asked “Is #NealRauhauser Buying His Plans From Acme?

* * * * *

Neal Rauhauser has tipped his hand on his formerly sooooper seekrit plan to get a bunch nefarious right wing nut jobs (including me) off of Twitter. He’s been recording and archiving our “offending” tweets. He taken my name 1861 times so far which amounts to just over 1/3 of the total bad tweets he’s logged.

I feel like such a slacker.

Stacy McCain LOLs about Neal’s silliness here.

UPDATE—Neal’s list was supposed to inspire “panic” and cause “massive deletions.”

Uh, huh.

He panicked and deleted his list within a few hours.

LOL.

* * * * *

Rauhauser’s idea about using false accusations of targeted abuse did achieve a temporary bit of success a couple of years later when I was permanently banned from Twitter for targeted abuse. The ban was based on false accusations made by Brett Kimberlin when he filed a peace order petition against me in the name of his wife’s elder daughter. When the peace order petition was denied and denied again on appeal, the Kimberlin’s filed a false criminal complaint alleging the same set of facts. Because the facts couldn’t be proved to the preponderance of evidence standard for the peace order, there was no way the evidence could lead to a conviction under the higher standard required for a criminal case, the State’s Attorney quickly dropped the charge.

A few days after the charge was dropped, Twitter contacted me and offered me my account back. I’ve been back without issues for over six years, and Twitter is not as careless about what they say about suspended accounts or to whom they say it.

It was nine years ago today that Judge Rupp ruled that nothing Aaron Walker had done, said, or written fell under the Maryland statutes relating to harassment, stalking, or Peace Orders. Therefore, there was no basis for the peace order Brett Kimberlin had sought against Aaron, and the order was overturned by the Circuit Court.

Kimberlin should have cut his losses at that point.

He didn’t, and things have not gone well for him since.

Maybe it’s a Montgomery County thing to try to have someone arrested on a false charge of violating a peace order. It was nine years ago yesterday that Brett Kimberlin’s false complaint cause Aaron Walker to be arrested, booked, and jailed for a few hours. Nine years ago today, I posted this: Aaron Walker’s Arrest—Early Edition.

* * * * *

Patterico has a good analysis which untangles some of the gnarly mess of the reporting about yesterday’s farce. Read it. All the way through. At the end, he recommends reading David Hogberg’s eye witness report of the hearing.

Brett Kimberlin and his allies are acting as if they have a winning strategy. He was lucky yesterday to draw an elderly judge who doesn’t seem to understand the Internet, blogging, or social media. I doubt that his luck will hold out. IANAL, but it looks as if Walker should prevail on appeal. We need to support him and the other bloggers being abused by Kimberlin and his friends.

UPDATE–Glenn Reynolds (JD, Yale, 1985) notes:

Walker also made a major error by representing himself. No lawyer should do that in anything more than a minor traffic offense. This goes double for Yale Law grads. . . .

On Friday the 13th of May, 2016, William Ferguson (one of the minor members of Team Kimberlin) tweeted that the Hoge v. Kimberlin lawsuit would be coming to an end on the following Monday.

On the next Monday, The Dread Deadbeat Publisher Kimberlin’s Breitbart Unmasked Bunny Boy Unread website published a post titled Why Should A Judge Believe Anything William Hoge Says?. As of 9:30 pm ET last night, the post was still partially intact. It contains this sentence—

Embedded above is newly-obtained audio of that hearing which reinforces our reporting — and snuffs out any hope for further denials.

The audio that was embedded in the original version was from courtroom audio CD of the 2015 Kimberlin v. Hoge peace order hearing in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County. It was a brief out-of-context remark made by the judge as she was denying the peace order petition.

Five years ago today, I posted Some Maryland Court Audio CDs in response.

The Kimberlin v. Hoge peace order petition was denied.

Brett Kimberlin was not allowed to testify. He was also not allowed to represent his daughter.

UPDATE—Aaron Walker was present during this morning’s trial and has his report of it here.

Kimberlin wasn’t allowed to testify because at the time Maryland was the last remaining state to ban testimony by convicted perjurers. The state senator representing the district in which Kimberlin lives subsequently introduced legislation repealing the ban. After it passed, Kimberlin discovered that he could no longer avoid being cross examined in court.

Last Friday, Rebekah Jones saw her bogus peace order petition against Christina Pushaw go down in flames for lack of evidence. As of noon today, the false criminal complaint against Ms. Pushaw for violating the interim peace order had not yet been dropped. It could take a few days for the Montgomery County State’s Attorney’s Office to nolle prosse the case. I’ve got Wednesday afternoon on the calendar in the break area, and there are still some squares left in the pool.

Of course, Jones has the right to appeal the denial to the Circuit Court. If she does, there will be a trial de novo. She says she intends to have a lawyer and two tech experts with her for the appeal. As I’ve noted before, if Jones has legal counsel, it would be wise for her to review her online tweets and posts since the beginning of April with her lawyer to determine which she should take down and apologize for.

The ram hasn’t touched the wall. Yet.
