‘A National Political Celebrity’

Brett Kimberlin could have been sentenced to 230 years in federal prison. May 19, 2012, was a Saturday, two days after I first saw Aaron Walker’s 28,000-word account of how he says Brett Kimberlin tried to “frame” him for an assault charge. I’d dug into the story and, by Saturday, was ready to write a […]

‘The Court Should Dismiss … With Prejudice in Favor of All Defendants’

The title quote is from John Hoge’s Reply to Plaintiff’s Oppositions in the federal RICO lawsuit Kimberlin v. the Universe, et al. Hoge is proceeding pro se — acting as his own lawyer against Brett Kimberlin, who is doing the same — and it’s interesting to contrast Kimberlin’s accusations with Hoge’s defenses, knowing that the […]

Bill Schmalfeldt Continues His Insane Investment in Brett Kimberlin’s RICO Suit

Bill Schmalfeldt ranting, 2011. (Image via Thomas Anderson at Vimeo) Am I now or have I ever been engaged in an interstate racketeering conspiracy? No, and the allegations by Brett Kimberlin in his federal lawsuit (which John Hoge dubbed Kimberlin v. the Universe, et al.) are utterly absurd. Yet the manifest absurdity of Kimberlin’s conspiracy […]

Exhibit B: Among ‘Scores of Death Threats’ Alleged by Brett Kimberlin …

Earlier today, I took notice of false allegations Brett Kimberlin made against me in filing for an injunction in the million-dollar Maryland lawsuit Kimberlin v. Walker, et al.

Joseph Gelarden, Indianapolis Star, “Kimberlin case a maze of murder, deceit,” Oct. 18, 1981 […]

‘Mr. Kimberlin’s Fantastic Allegations’

The quoted phrase comes from a motion by the attorney for Michelle Malkin to dismiss Brett Kimberlin’s federal lawsuit that John Hoge has dubbed Kimberlin v. the Universe, et al. Of course, the word “fantastic” is used not in a positive sense, as a synonym for “wonderful,” but rather in the sense of unbelievably delusional. […]

Another Brett Kimberlin Lie?

My co-defendant John Hoge has been keeping up with the federal RICO lawsuit he has dubbed Kimberlin v. Universe, et al. Hoge recently filed a motion with the court which makes note of an interesting claim by the pro se plaintiff: Twice since Brett Kimberlin filed his federal lawsuit, I’ve attended hearings in his Maryland […]

Federal Court Upholds Bloggers’ Rights

Eugene Volokh cites a ruling yesterday by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of Obsidian Finance Group v. Cox: The protections of the First Amendment do not turn on whether the defendant was a trained journalist, formally affiliated with traditional news entities, engaged in conflict-of-interest disclosure, went beyond just assembling others’ writings, […]
