#TrayvonGate: How the U.S. Justice Department Abetted a Legal Lynching

Posted on | July 10, 2013 | 104 Comments

While I haven’t followed the George Zimmerman trial closely, I have noticed the widespread reaction to the trial, namely, “Why are they even having this trial?” There is no way in hell Zimmerman will be convicted. Some see it as a clear-cut case of self-defense, but everyone who has watched the testimony sees enough “reasonable doubt” in the prosecution’s case that it seems obvious the jury will acquit.

So, once again: Why are they even having this trial? And the answer would seem to be, because the Obama administration wanted it.

Lee Stranahan writes at Breibart.com:

Welcome to Trayvongate, where the President of the United States used both the bully pulpit, the Department of Justice and sly media manipulation to gin up charges of racism in the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin shooting. Now that the trial is almost finished and the only act of racism mentioned so far came from the victim–Martin called Zimmerman ‘a creepy ass cracker’ according to testimony–the cynical and repeated use of the race card by the White house is even more abhorrent.
Judicial Watch revealed documents today that proved what Breitbart News reported in April, 2012: that Eric Holder’s Department of Justice took an active role in racially charged rallies in Sanford, Florida and that the Community Relations Service helped force the temporary resignation of Sheriff Bill Lee. That resignation made it appear that Sanford authorities were suspect and possibly complicit in covering up something. . . .

Read the whole thing.  Welcome to the New Normal. And if there are riots when the acquittal is announced, you’ll know who to blame.

 

U.S. Senate or Insane Asylum?

Posted on | July 10, 2013 | 47 Comments

At Memeorandum, I saw this headline:

HISTORIC: Senate panel
advances trans-inclusive ENDA

Perhaps you thought the “Gang of Eight” amnesty bill was the craziest thing the Senate could ever do, but obviously you were wrong.

What this legislation would do is to make it a federal crime to discriminate in the workplace against the “transgendered.” And you may think to yourself, “Well, discrimination is bad and I’m not prejudiced or homophobic or anything” and shrug it off. So what?

If you are indifferent to ENDA in this manner, then quite clearly (a) you don’t know how “discrimination” law actually works in the modern workplace, and (b) you lack sufficient imagination to contemplate the potential consequences. Suppose you’re Sam, the loading dock foreman at a large hardware store — Home Depot, let’s say — and you’ve got a crew of four guys whose job is to unload the trucks as they arrive each day. Driving forklifts, hauling pallets of merchandise off trucks and moving them around the store so the items can be put on the shelves. One morning you arrive for work and here comes your crew man Joe, wearing a dress, wig and makeup.

“Morning, Sam.”
“Joe? What the –”
“I’m not Joe anymore. Call me Delores.”
“What the hell are you talking about Joe?”
“Sam, I’m Delores now. If you call me ‘Joe’ one more time, I’m afraid I’ll have to report you to Human Resources.”
“Human resources? But . . . I don’t understand.”
“It’s simple, Sam: For years, I’ve lived with this secret — a woman, trapped in a man’s body — but I’m not hiding it any more.”
“But Joe . . .”
“Delores.”
“OK, whatever — Delores. But this is just crazy. I’ve known you since high school. We played baseball and went fishing together. And what about your wife and kids?”
“They’re entirely supportive. As a matter of fact, we got the idea this weekend, watching the news together.”
“Watching the news?”
“Yeah, there was a gay guy who sued his company under the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. His boss got fired and he got a $250,000 settlement. Civil rights and stuff.”
“So you’re wearing a dress now?”
“Yeah, you like it?”
“Hell no. I mean, you’re six-foot-three and 270 pounds. Your legs aren’t even shaven. You look ridiculous.”
“Ridiculous, huh? How long have I been working here, Sam?”
“Three, four years.”
“And when was the last time I got a raise?”
“Well, your last evaluation — I dunno. What? October, I think. It was 75 cents more an hour, right?”
“Sixty-five cents, Sam. Sixty-five f–king cents.”
“OK. right — now I remember. What’s your point?”
“My point is, I’m tired of being victimized by your transphobia.”
“Trans-what? Have you gone nuts, Joe?”
“F–k you, Sam. I know my rights. I’m going to Human Resources. This kind of discrimination has got to stop!”
“But Joe . . .”
“It’s Delores! Hater!”

As far-fetched as that scenario may seem, no one in 1965 ever imagined that claims of “discrimination” and “sexual harassment” — and the fear of such claims — would result in the situation now so widespread, where lawsuits and threats of lawsuits are a sort of constant threat of blackmail, where disgruntled employees make complaints knowing full well that companies are reluctant to go to court to defend against such claims. Instead, nine times out of 10, the complaining employee is given what’s informally called “go away money,” a settlement usually equivalent to a year’s salary, just so the company can rid itself of the legal nuisance.

Oh, and guess what happens to your insurance premiums when “non-discrimination” means that you must hire transsexuals and cover the cost of their surgery and other treatments?

People who shrug their shoulders about ENDA and other such nonsense, or who hesitate to denounce it because they don’t want to seem prejudiced, have no idea how all this talk about “fairness” and equality” actually operates, once it becomes law and people start getting sued or fired over flimsy claims of “discrimination.”

 

Feminists Silent as ‘Progressive Activist’ Brett Kimberlin Terrorizes His Wife

Posted on | July 10, 2013 | 72 Comments

Brett Kimberlin could have been sentenced to 230 years in federal prison

John Hoge reports today that the reason Tetyana Kimberlin was taken into custody at the end of yesterday’s court hearing in Maryland is that Brett Kimberlin tried to have his estranged wife involuntarily committed for 72-hour psychiatric evaluation.

Thankfully, Judge Patricia Mitchell denied this and Tetyana was released in a matter of minutes. Aaron Walker has more background.

If you have not read Tetyana Kimberlin’s petition for a peace order against her estranged husband, please do so now.

T. Kimberlin v. B. Kimberlin Petition for Protective Order 7.9.13 (OCR)

 

Please also read, Horror: Brett Kimberlin ‘Is Giving His Wife the Full Aaron Walker Treatment’” — if Tetyana says she is being threatened by Brett Kimberlin, the danger to her should be taken very seriously, because Brett Kimberlin is a convicted violent felon.

The shameful silence of feminists about “progressive” Brett Kimberlin grows more disgusting by the minute.

 

Notorious Bush-Era Anti-War Protester Adam Kokesh Busted on Drug Charge

Posted on | July 10, 2013 | 85 Comments

In 2007, fringe nutjob Adam Kokesh was arrested on Capitol Hill.

In reporting the news, the Washington Post has rather deliberately obscured the reality of what kind of kook Adam Kokesh is, but those of us who first became aware of Kokesh as the poster boy for “Iraq Veterans Against the War” are unlikely to forget him: A self-righteous half-educated egomaniac strutting for the cameras and insulting people with ridiculous “chickenhawk” and “neocon” slurs. The first time I ever saw Kokesh in person was when he showed up to heckle David Horowitz at an event at George Washington University, FWIW.

His narcissistic camera-hogging and anti-social personality made Kokesh an unwelcome crazy even within the far-left millieu of Bush-era antiwar protests, where mental health was by no means a prerequisite for membership. (Hint: “Sociopath” is not a political philosophy.) Like a few other antiwar oddballs — including the dangerous kook Alex Jones — Kokesh drifted into the Ron Paul orbit, speaking at a Paulista rally during the 2008 GOP convention and then getting himself arrested for heckling John McCain during his acceptance speech.

Now, however, Kokesh might finally go to prison where he belongs:

Police searched the Northern Virginia home of activist Adam Kokesh Tuesday evening and took him into custody on for allegedly being in possession of hallucinogenic mushroom while also having a gun, authorities said.
Kokesh, a former Marine, was held overnight at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center, charged with possession of schedule I or II drugs while in possession of a firearm, said Lt. Steve Elbert, a spokesman for the Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office. . . .
U.S. Park Police Lt. Pamela Smith said her agency executed a search warrant at Kokesh’s home in Herndon about 7:45 p.m. Tuesday, looking for a weapon. The park police are the federal agency responsible for policing Freedom Plaza, the concrete park a few blocks from the White House where — in a video posted to YouTube on July 4 — Kokesh appears to load a shotgun in violation of D.C. gun laws. . . .
Herndon police assisted in the search, a communications technician from the department said. But she declined to provide details.
Charging documents filed in court Wednesday morning said Kokesh was charged with possession of hallucinogenic mushrooms, a Schedule I narcotic, while possessing a firearm. Possession of Schedule I or II drugs is a felony in Virginia, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a maximum $2,500 fine. If convicted of possession of the drugs while also in possession of a firearm, Kokesh would face an additional minimum of two years in prison. . . .

You can read the whole thing. What the Washington Post will not tell you, of course, is that Adam Kokesh is the living symbol of how unscrupulously the Left provoked and exploited antiwar sentiments during the Bush era. It was the same basic tactic they used with the “Occupy Wall Street” movement and much of the gay-rights movement: Portray Republicans as evil, gin up protest mobs composed of whatever professional ax-grinders, clueless “student activists” and volunteer nutjobs you can collect, and then rely on the biases of liberal media to portray the orchestrated result as a spontaneous expression of Wholesome Main Street Middle America.

How many times during the Bush years did I go to one of these “mainstream” rallies in D.C. and see the swarms of Marxist organization — the  Workers World Party, the Revolutionary Communist Party, the Communist Party USA, etc. — and their affiliated front groups in broad daylight with banners flying, handing out their newspapers, pamphlets, fliers, bumper stickers and so forth? You quite literally could not walk into the Ellipse or LaFayette Park or wherever else these protests assembled without being approached by people trying to hand you the WWP newspaper Workers World, which was not a coincidence since the WWP’s front group International ANSWER was usually the chief organizer of the protests.

Somehow, the liberal media never found time to report any of that, but would invariably search through the crowds of Commie kooks until they found someone who could be plausibly presented as “mainstream” — the housewife, the retiree, the wholesome-looking college coed — and who might in the course of a three- or four-minute interview say a couple of non-crazy sentences worth quoting.

There was a template to these kinds of antiwar protest stories, you see — a narrative, a meme — and this required ignoring the Marxists and other deranged rabble who formed the actual core of the movement that the media wanted to promote as mainstream.

It was all a Big Lie, and there were many Little Lies that were part of that dishonest liberal propaganda campaign. One of those Little Lies required that reporters not report about the sociopathic personalities of antiwar activists like Adam Kokesh. Yet even with the Bush administration a fading memory and the Iraq War receding in the rearview mirror, these lying bastards still won’t tell the truth.

Adam Kokesh might finally go to prison now, but never mind the genuinely mainstream Americans who always knew he was a kook.

 

 

UPDATE: Readers will excuse my vehemence in denouncing Kokesh, who nowadays postures as a “libertarian.” Maybe you consider gobbling psilocybin mushrooms and brandishing loaded shotguns in public to be “libertarian” and if so, please provide your home address so I can call the cops, OK? Hunter S. Thompson is a personal hero of mine, but you amateur crazies simply aren’t qualified.

You’ll notice I’ve appended Amazon ads for three books that may help you understand why the Politics of Protest invariably attracts dangerous nutjobs, and what evils typically result:

  • The True Believer by Eric Hoffer — An insight into the personalities and motives of those attracted to “mass movements.” If you’ve never read it, you simply must.
  • Radical Chic and Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers by Tom Wolfe — What happens when well-meaning liberals encounter cynical opportunists demanding “social justice” on behalf of trendy radicalism? It’s hilarious, if only it weren’t so sad. A classic.
  • Destructive Generation by Peter Collier and David Horowitz — One thing that the liberal media never mention, and which too many conservatives don’t realize, is that younger protesters today are encouraged in their misguided activism by idealized portrayals of 1960s-era movements. Adam Kokesh wasn’t even born until 1982, but believes that expressing “dissent” against the “status quo” is heroic because he has been indoctrinated to believe that this is what Real Heroes do. The true history of the 196os, however, teaches rather different lessons. Collier and Horowitz learned those lessons the hard way as members of the ‘6os New Left. Their account of that era (and its consequences) should be required reading for high school and college students today.

Young idiots trying re-enact a mythical past of which they have no direct knowledge ought not be praised or encouraged, but told to wise up before they get themselves imprisoned or worse.

Gosh, Kind of a Tough Call Here

Posted on | July 10, 2013 | 51 Comments

Which is worse, herpes or syphilis? Herpes is incurable, but the ravages of syphilis can be deadly. This is a story about the liberal media, however, not sexually transmitted diseases . . .

You know how, since Day One of the IRS scandal, every liberal on the planet has been saying it’s not really a scandal? So the umpteenth reiteration of the IRS Scandal (NOT) meme was published Monday by a writer for Salon, the Most Worthless Internet Site, Period.

While AOL paid gazillions for HuffPo, and BuzzFeed is now estimated to be worth gazillion-times-infinity, nobody has ever hazarded a guess of the value of Salon.com, a site that has been losing massive sums of money constantly since the days of dial-up modems.

Because there are no other “progressive” sites on the Internet, you see, and if these investors didn’t keep pouring money into that courageous Salon.com, then Newt Gingrich would take over America and suddenly TV would be in black-and-white again, or something.

Nobody ever pays attention to Salon except in the sense of, “Did you see that stupid/gross/utterly wrong thing they published at Salon?”

But why bring up Tracy Clark-Flory at a time like this?

My point is that nobody really pays attention to Salon except gigantic inflatable dildos like Lawrence O’Donnell, who evidently had an apoplectic fit because this IRS Scandal (NOT) story failed to mention that Lawrence O’Donnell invented IRS Scandal (NOT) stories.

This is perhaps a good time to mention that certain progressive bloggers think it’s always necessary to write in the very arch and catty tone that Wonkette and Gawker trademarked circa 2003 back when being a blogger was The Hip Career, before McDonald’s had WiFi.

Call it the Snarktastic mode of discourse. It becomes annoying to adults eventually, because you realize that these people think it’s a signifier of superior hipness, which in turn they imagine is a hallmark of their superior intelligence, as if the ostentatious display of pop-culture references and amped-up attitude — attitude! attitude! attitude! — were a substitute for useful knowledge.

Dude, I can do that, and I’m a 53-year-old father of six with a B.A. from Jacksonville (Ala.) State University. It’s really not that clever.

Anyway, Lawrence O’Donnell, who exudes smug self-righteousness as only the Harvard-educated son of a rich lawyer can, felt that Salon had cheated him of the credit he deserved. As the host of a show on a cable TV network somewhat more popular than CNN — a network with more Al Sharpton, but less non-stop murder trial coverage — if Lawrence O’Donnell said the IRS scandal is not a scandal, this was of tremendous significance to . . . somebody.

Yet this article at Salon.com didn’t even so much as mention him.

Which brings me to the “tough call” referenced in the title, about 450 words ago. Herpes or syphilis? Lawrence O’Donnell or Alex Pareene?

It is a measure of my fathomless loathing for Lawrence O’Donnell that I feel he deserves to be mocked by the execrable Alex Pareene.

UPDATE: One of the relevant facts I omitted:

Also, didn’t O’Donnell develop a bad cocaine habit in Hollywood? Or was that some other leftist douchebag I’m thinking of? There is something especially odious about Hollywood liberals preaching socialism while snorting up tens of thousands of dollars of coke a year.

Horror: Brett Kimberlin ‘Is Giving His Wife the Full Aaron Walker Treatment’

Posted on | July 9, 2013 | 100 Comments

Aaron Walker has now published his account of today’s court proceedings in Kimberlin v. Kimberlin and Kimberlin v. Elliott, accompanied by documents in the cases. Aaron says:

Suddenly we saw Tetyana being led away in handcuffs.  . . .
In other words, he is giving his wife the full “Aaron Walker” treatment: try to get her fired, charge her with crimes that are, more likely than not, false, all in an effort to coerce her behavior.

Go read the whole ugly thing. The twisted nature of Brett Kimberlin’s personality — his sadistic pleasure in terrorizing and inflicting harm on others — is sufficiently well-known that little more need be said, except to refer to the not-so-mysterious death of Julia Scyphers.

Brett Kimberlin’s wicked character, especially his notorious dishonesty, is such that every decent person must despise him, if they know the truth about him — and Brett Kimberlin hates the truth.

Heaven help that woman who was fool enough to marry him.

UPDATE: Thanks to the keen-eyed commenter who, after reading the documents posted at Aaron’s page, points out that Tetyana’s date of birth is Nov. 16, 1980, while Brett Kimberlin’s date of birth is June 3, 1954. Their eldest daughter was born April 4, 1999. Therefore, when this child was conceived (about August 1998), Tetyana was 17 and her convicted felon husband was 44. Creeptastic!

UPDATE II: Everybody should re-Tweet this:

Feminist hypocrites won’t say a peep about it, but it’s important that this #WarOnWomen be called to their attention.

And say, what about that little Indiana girlfriend of Brett’s?

UPDATE III: Did I say, “creeptastic”? In 1992, Kimberlin was paroled from federal prison. Subsequent events led to him being sent back, but while he was out, he briefly pursued a music career. Jason Vest interviewed Kimberlin for City Paper in 1996:

Not all the songs on his album … have political overtones … others, like “Waiting to Meet” and “Teen Dream” (both about having sex with teenage girls) are lacking in subtlety and tend to make one squirm. But this is exactly what Kimberlin wants.
“I say things a lot of people are afraid to say. Yeah, ‘Teen Dream’ is about f–king a teenage girl. Every guy who’s seen a good-looking teenage girl has thought about it. I’m talking about that lecherous quality that every man, though he won’t act on it, has.”

Thanks to the commenter who pointed this out. Remember that Brett Kimberlin was a 41-year-old parolee at the time of that interview.

UPDATE IV: In the comments below, Aaron Walker says it is believed that Tetyana Kimberlin’s oldest daughter, now 14, was born before Tetyana met Brett, so that she’s his stepdaughter or adopted or something. And there’s nothing at all to be concerned about, right?

UPDATE V: Oh my! Just read more of that 1996 interview, which quotes the lyrics of Kimberlin’s song “Hillary”:

I’d love to tell you that you make me hot.
I’d love a taste of what you’ve got.

You stay classy, Brett Kimberlin!
