Team Kimberlin often complained they were the victims of false narrative while being the source of narrative that were not only obviously false but also mind-bogglingly stupid. Consider this Prevarication Du Jour from seven years ago today.

* * * * *

The Cabin Boy™ has posted what he claims to be the text of an unsolicited comment he allegedly received to one of his posts. He says that he believes that the comment is from [redacted] in Manassas, Virginia. He claims to have traced the IP address back to a cell tower near where [redacted] lives, and he provides a map with the location of the cell tower shown.

According to the several utility databases, there is a cell tower within a few dozen feet of the location shown. However, according to the FCC, [redacted]’s cellular provider is not on that tower. Moreover, why would [redacted] use his cellular connection if he were at home. Even he were using his phone instead of a computer, he would more likely use a wi-fi connection into his landline cable provider to avoid data charges and for higher speed.

This leaves several possibilities. One is that one of the Cabin Boy™ “friends” is pranking him. Another is that the whole thing is a lie. Or perhaps it’s something else.

UPDATE—I’ve just verified how IP addressing works for mobile devices. The IP address seen by the Internet looking back at a mobile device is actually the address of a server at the cellular ISPs point-of-presence. For example, my portable wi-fi hotspot is sitting on our kitchen table in Westminster, Maryland, and I can see the lights on the carrier’s tower out the living room window, but the IP address associated with it on the Internet is in Arlington, Virginia.

pantsonfireIn order to determine the address of a connection all the way back to a cell tower, one needs to go through the carrier’s internal connection logs. That requires a subpoena. How many of you think that the Cabin Boy™ was able to get a subpoena for information sent this afternoon, serve the subpoena, and get the response from [redacted]’s cell phone carrier in a matter of a few hours? For that matter, how many think he could get such a subpoena in the first place?

Someone connected with Kimberlin’s It’s Time 2020 operation woke up and decided to post something to the itstime2020 dot org website on 2 October. With all of the stories available, the best thing that the poster could find to write about was Brad Parscale’s mental breakdown. Really? That’s the big news of the election since the last post on 28 August?

Whatever.

BTW, Kimberlin wound up losing all of his defamation lawsuits because what had been written and said about him was true, so you’d think that he’d understand that it’s false statements that can be defamatory. Yet, the itstime2020 dot org post ends with these words about Brad Parscale: “… and he worked with Russia and Cambridge Analytica that year [2016] to manipulate the presidential election.” Given the thorough debunking of the Russian Collusion Hoax, unless there’s some evidence to back that statement up, it looks as if it’s being made with a reckless disregard for the truth. Gentle Reader, do you suppose a convicted perjurer would do such a thing?

Don’t Know Much About History

Erick Erickson has a post over at The Resurgent fact checking The New York Times‘ 1619 Project, a potentially worthwhile endeavor designed to educate Americans about slavery and the role it has played in the new world. However, the newspaper has turned the project over to a group of opinion writers who appear more interested in stoking and fueling racial grievances than truthfully exploring the nation’s history.

The essay Erickson fact checks begins by getting key details of 17th-century history wrong.

The Times has set about inserting race into everything and demanding we all see race in everything. 1619 is our “true founding.” No, actually, historically that is not true in any way shape or form.

In fact, the House of Burgesses convened in Jamestown, Virginia on July 30, 1619, before any African had set foot on the North American continent. The Mayflower pilgrims landed in New England in 1620, completely separated from those in Jamestown, with different goals, views, values, and priorities. It is also worth noting that white indentured servants outnumbered slaves and arrived before slaves. Quibble all you want with the distinctions, but in 1619 they were roughly treated the same — terribly on all counts.

To make it all about slavery is to ignore that there were already Europeans in North America before the first slave arrived and there were Europeans arriving in America in different locations quite apart from where slavery was. For a project that claims truth for itself, it is deeply untrue to truth and reality. The pilgrims in Massachusetts in 1620 were not exactly a group of slave holders as they were setting up shop, forming modes of government, and adopting private property and capitalist meta-structures to avoid failures from collective farming.

In fact, in 1623, still well before slavery made it into pilgrim settlements, the Plymouth Plantation abandoned communal property rights in favor of private property rights and a system of free enterprise.

The Times‘ essay’s misrepresentation of history continues to the present era, falsely claiming, for example, that the Republicans took control of the Senate in 2010.

Americans, particularly white Americans, need to learn more about slavery in the United States. But doing so on the premise that the United States itself is flawed and illegitimate is not the way to do it. Sadly, that’s what so much of the Times’ coverage amounts to.

If the nation is founded on slavery and slavery is woven into the very fabric of our society, then our society is illegitimate. The only way to overcome it is to overturn it. That would take revolution. This is the path the New York Times goes down. Once it lights this fire, it will not be able to control it. But it wants to strike the match anyway.

Read the whole thing.

Normally, it’s a defendant who seeks to have a court record sealed, but someone else filed a petition to seal the case file in State v. Hoge, the case resulting from an Application for Statement of Charges filed against me for allegedly engaging in online harassment of a a minor. Because the State dropped the case for lack of evidence, I never sought to have the record sealed. The TKPOTD for four years ago today was about who did.

I received service of the following order from the District Court of Maryland is yesterday’s mail.

I was never served by the petitioner who, on the face of the document, appears to be Tetyana Kimberlin. It was fortunate that Judge Wolfe denied the petition. I assume that the petition was filed in order make it more difficult to use the District Court’s records in support of my malicious prosecution claims in the Hoge v. Kimberlin, et al. lawsuit.

The document represents itself as being filed by Tetyana Kimberlin. I find it interesting that the notice of service information for the State’s Attorney (which is handwritten in the wrong spaces) is in Brett Kimberlin’s handwriting. Also, the following items are interesting to compare—

This is Tetyana Kimberlin’s signature from the Protective Order Petition she filed seeking protection from her husband on 7 July, 2013.20130707This is her signature on the Application for Statement of Charges she filed against me on 18 May, 2015.20150518Here is the signature on the Motion to Seal.Mot to SealHmmmmm.

BTW, Brett Kimberlin is still on unsupervised parole until 2030 for his multiple convictions related to dope smuggling and the Speedway bombings. IIRC, his arrest that led to those convictions occurred when he was caught trying to forge government documents (DoD driver’s licenses).

It was six years ago today that Brett Kimberlin tried to use his iPad to take a picture of Aaron Walker in the waiting area outside Judge Rupp’s courtroom in the Montgomery County Courthouse. Given the context of the of the statements The Dread Deadbeat Pro-Se Kimberlin had made, Aaron interpreted Kimberlin’s movements as threatening, and he acted to disarm Kimberlin by taking the large object Kimberlin was brandishing out of his hands.

Things went downhill from there, and TDPK built a false narrative around the event which resulted in a bogus peace order against Aaron, Aaron being arrested on a false charge related to that order, and six years of follow-on lawfare. Oh, and lots of adverse publicity for Brett Kimberlin.

BTW, taking a photograph in a Maryland courthouse without permission from a judge is against the law.

The Dread Pro-Se Kimberlin rattles on and on about false narratives. He’s a primary source of them himself. Consider these paragraphs from his second amended complaint in the Kimberlin v. The Universe, et al. RICO Madness.That’s clearly designed to give the impression that Justice Through Music Project (or Velvet Revolution US) and, thus, Brett Kimberlin were deriving income from the State Department because of participation an “International Leadership Program.” Let’s look a bit deeper.

First, the actual program run by the State Department is called the International Visitor Leadership Program. There doesn’t seem to be any U. S. Government record of JTMP or VRUS participating in the program.

Second, there doesn’t seem to be any record of payments from the Department of State to either Justice Through Music Project or Velvet Revolution US for any purpose during the “three years prior to 2012.” The industrious Gentle Reader may verify that at usaspending.gov.

This doesn’t mean that TDPK never talked to foreign visitors at some sort of State Department event. He may have. But if he did, there doesn’t seem to be any evidence that he or his not-for-profits were being paid as a contractors or grantees by the government. However, most taxpayers would agree that is was not an unwise decision to refrain from using a convicted felon in a such a potentially sensitive role.
