@AceOfSpadesHQ BREAKS SILENCE: #BrettKimberlin’s Escalating Threat

FROM AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION

Being sanguine by nature, as I told Nice Deb in an interview a couple weeks ago, I don’t scare easy, and sometimes am accused of recklessness, as well as disregard for the feelings of others who are of a more cautious temperament.

“No discretion,” as one critic recently said in a conversation that was rather less private than she believed. Selah.

To live your life constantly deferring to the opinions of others is to forfeit your independence and become a slave to peer pressure.

Nevertheless, in the matter of Brett Kimberlin, there are matters of operational security to be kept in mind, information which cannot be revealed, lest we give The Pipsqueak Monster some clue as to what measures are being taken to guard against his nefarious schemes and the actions of his evil accomplices. Exercising discretion is therefore vital, and I’ve had to judge carefully what to discuss in public.

Let me repeat what I’ve said before: If Brett Kimberlin and Neal Rauhauser are not under FBI surveillance, why the hell not?

This is merely a surmise, which any reasonable person would make, based upon well-known facts, and I do not doubt that both Kimberlin and Rauhauser are aware of this. Their phones, e-mails and other communications are almost certainly being monitored, and they cannot make a move that the feds don’t know about.

My surmise in this matter — what you might call an educated hunch — probably accounts for the increasingly frantic and desperate activity of the various Web presences that comprise what Ken at Popehat calls “Team Kimberlin.” They’re acting scared, and looking very guilty, trying to re-direct suspicion away from themselves by pointing the accusatory finger at others.

Vicious dishonest cowards don’t scare me one bit.

Fear a man who is honest and brave, but never fear a lying coward, because such sadistic monsters delight in inspiring fear.

If you want to be frightened about something, think about this: Neal Rauhauser has boasted about having contacts in the FBI. What sort of disinformation has Rauhauser given the feds? Could it be that federal agents are actually assisting his smear machine? We know that Attorney General Eric Holder is either incompetent or corrupt — perhaps both — but the possibility that the taint of political corruption has spread to the FBI should be a concern to every honest American citizen.

Meanwhile, Ace of Spades has broken his daylong silence to warn against my sanguine confidence, urging Congress to act swiftly to thwart Kimberlin’s familiar pattern of escalation:

Brett Kimberlin will not be stopped by scrutiny. Even when he was a suspect in the Speedway Bombings, and being followed by agents of the FBI — and he knewhe was being followed — he continued to conduct his large-scale drug smuggling operation. While being investigated for the Speedway Bombings, he was arrested independently for procuring false military ID. And then, having been arrested (and released) for procuring false military ID, he was arrested for smuggling tons of marijuana into America.
The fact that the FBI was watching him didn’t seem to matter. He considers them stupid; he always thinks he’s one step ahead of them. The fact that he has frequently been arrested and caught does not seem to enter into his reasoning.

It’s brilliant work — he ain’t the Jack of Spades, y’know — and I share Ace’s belief that congressional action is imperative. But my educated hunch is that honest law enforcement officials will slap the cuffs on Kimberlin before Congress can enact legislation, and I can only pray that they act before someone gets hurt even worse than Kimberlin’s previous victims have been hurt.
