Convicted domestic terrorist Brett Kimberlin doesn’t want people to know
about his criminal history, and he has attempted to silence any blogger who
writes about Kimberlin’s criminal history. In response, the blogosphere has
answered blogger Lee Stranahan’s call to make 25 May 2012 Everybody Blog
About Brett Kimberlin Day.
Stranahan has detailed information about Kimberlin, which is more than you
will get from Wikipedia as of 24 May 2012. Over at the blog Brett Kimberlin
Lies, Ron Brynaert reports that Kimberlin managed to get the Wikipedia
article about him deleted. Brynaert has submitted to Wikipedia another
article about Kimberlin, but as of 24 May 2012 the article has yet to be
approved by Wikipedia.
Kimberlin’s attempt to have his criminal past scrubbed from Wikipedia might
have worked had he not started his harrassment of bloggers. His
harrassment has resulted in today’s blog burst about him, and the blog
burst is mentioned in the Wikipedia article Streisand effect. Here is what
that Wikipedia article says about Kimberlin:
In May 2012, convicted domestic terrorist Brett Kimberlin (aka The
Speedway Bomber) reportedly tried to suppress articles about his violent
past, his current political activities, and his leadership of a non-profit
company called Justice Through Music. Attorney Aaron Walker (aka “Aaron
Worthing”) wrote a lengthy expose of Kimberlin on May 17, 2012.[35] Other
blogs picked up the story, including “The Other McCain” by journalist
Robert Stacy McCain. McCain reported that Kimberlin’s response forced him
to leave his Maryland home due to “the resulting security concern”.[36] A
subsequent avalanche of postings about Kimberlin resulted in a Day by Day (
webcomic) cartoon mentioning McCain, a mention by the influential blog
Instapundit, and a suggestion that May 25, 2012, be “Everybody Blog About
Brett Kimberlin Day.” [37]
It is fitting that Kimberlin is mentioned in the article Streisand effect
because the Streisand effect is named after Barbra Streisand, and according
to Matthew Vadum of the Capital Research Center, Kimberlin’s 501c3
nonprofit entity Justice Through Music Project has received money from the
Streisand Foundation. |
