Matthew Vadum Talks Brett Kimberlin

FROM AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION
One of the very valuable advantages I’ve had in reporting on Brett Kimberlin’s activities is that I’ve got Matthew Vadum’s phone number in my speed-dial. An investigative reporter and author of Subversion, Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers, Vadum is a leading expert on non-profit organizations. He has provided me with valuable information, including the IRS 990 forms for Kimberlin’s Justice Through Music Project (2010 form PDF, 2009 form PDF) and Velvet Revolution (2010 form PDF, 2008 form PDF).

On “Everybody Blog About Brett Kimberlin Day,” Vadum appeared on Ezra Levant’s Canadian TV program to discuss the Kimberlin case:

    That the left would fund terrorists is not a shock. What I will wait to see is if Mittens wins, if he will crack down on this nonsense. If he follows the same path as the rest of the falsely labeled moderates who are actually libtards, he will do nothing.

    The Judge that took Walker into custory needs to be jailed himself. With a nice red jacket, with a label of large block letters as to what he was. Enough is enough.

Vaughey appeared to become increasingly hostile toward Walker, who was taken into custody when the hearing concluded.On Thursday, May 17, Walker published a 28,000-word account of his experience being targeted by Kimberlin, which soon caught the attention of leading figures in online New Media, including University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Reynolds, who writes the popular Instapundit blog, and bestselling author Michelle Malkin, who warned her readers, “Please remember: Kimberlin is a radical, violent, lying, dangerous felon.”UPDATE: According to a source, Kimberlin claimed during the hearing that he has received death threats as a result of Walker’s violation of the peace order. In 1981, Kimberlin was sentenced to 50 years in federal prison for his crimes, including the 1978 terrorist bombing that brutally maimed Vietnam veteran Carl DeLong.UPDATE II: A copy of the “final peace order” (time-stamped 10:52 a.m.) states that Kimberlin is “in fear of imminent serious bodily harm” as a result of a “countless number” of death threats, and that “there is clear and convincing evidence that [Walker] is likely to commit a prohibited act in the future against [Kimberlin].”UPDATE III: To understand what is going on here, please see my column today at The American Spectator:During his time in federal prison, [Kimberlin] became a prodigious jailhouse lawyer, filing more than 100 actions on his own behalf, and his litigious habits have continued until this day. When Patrick Frey, the blogger known as Patterico, wrote about Kimberlin’s criminal past in 2010, he was immediately threatened with a libel suit. By then, Kimberlin had already sued Seth Allen, who eventually got legal assistance from Aaron Walker, a Virginia attorney who had blogged under the pseudonym “Aaron Worthing.” This evidently made Walker a target of Kimberlin’s harassment tactics, with the result that Walker says both he and his wife lost their jobs. . . . Kimberlin’s critics say his litigation against Allen and Walker, and threats of action against others, are a type of “lawfare,” which is defined as “the illegitimate use of domestic or international law with the intention of damaging an opponent, winning a public relations victory, financially crippling an opponent, or tying up the opponent’s time so that they cannot pursue other ventures such as running for public office.” And this is part of what many see as a wide-ranging strategy of intimidation waged against conservatives . . .Read the whole thing. I’m still trying to confirm facts about Walker’s hearing and reported arrest.UPDATE IV: 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.The National Bloggers Club has created KimberlinFiles.org to help call attention to the case and to enable “supporters to make financial donations to a relief fund as a show of support.”– Robert Stacy McCain, Whereabouts Unknown  THE KIMBERLIN FILES:May 17: Is Democrat Operative Neal Rauhauser an ‘Associate’ of Convicted Terrorist Brett Kimberlin?

    You know, several days ago I thought you might be overreacting to Kimberlin’s bullcrap by leaving the state.   

    Now I understand why you did it, based on what just happened to Aaron Walker.
