Why The Brett Kimberlin Story Is A Bigger Problem For Progressives Than You May Realize
At Front Page, Matthew Vadum is correct as regards Brett Kimberlin. As a result, Progressives and certain Democrats now face a bigger problem than you may have stopped to think about at this point.
Brett Kimberlin and the Hall of Fame of Leftist Terrorists
Someone asked me this morning, how did this guy get away with this for so long? The fact is, he got away with it because he had the cover to do it. He didn't make the "Hall of Fame" on the Left because influential people didn't know who and what he was, no matter how much they will repeat that myth, if asked about Brett Kimberlin today and in the future.
And because of who and what Brett Kimberlin is, they can't simply throw him under the bus, not as easily as they might your run-of-the-mill political activist. He's been around too long and has been too big a player on the Left for that simple solution. In short, Brett Kimberlin knows things.
In the past, he has been called narcissistic, not just by bloggers – Yid With Lid points out Brett Kimberlin's narcissism in his post today.
Brett Kimberlin: The Narcissistic Terrorist-UPDATED W/Links To Other's Posts
I'm not a psychologist. I'm not going to claim I can make some diagnosis of Brett Kimberlin. But no one can deny that, if you've read enough past coverage of him, especially during his Speedway Bomber days, it contains words like narcissistic and worse, when it comes to personality types. I've read extremely disturbing opinions on whatever personality type he is attributed to legal professionals who have dealt with him. One can also easily begin with the book on Kimberlin by Mark Singer: "Citizen K: The Deeply Weird American Journey of Brett Kimberlin". This below is from a review at link above from Kirkus Reviews.
Singer is full of contrition, presenting himself as having been sucked into Kimberlin's “narcissistic universe, a place far beyond the gravity-bound realities of politics, truth, and justice.'' But instead of drowning in regret, the repentant author turns his book into a lively revenge tale. In the delightful final chapters he cleverly tricks Kimberlin into exposing his own mendacity. For politicos, journalists, or anyone who has ever been pulled into the distorted worldview of a dangerous smooth talker, the story of Brett Kimberlin is a valuable one, expertly unearthed and reported by Singer.
Whatever Brett Kimberlin thinks of Progressive politics, it seems a fair bet that, he cares far more about himself. That is not a man to go quietly into any good night, cut off from the lifeline that has sustained him all these years. If the Progressive movement – and it's big money donors – drop a guy like Brett Kimberlin in a manner he doesn't much care for, he will turn on them. And as much damage he may have done to this, or that individual and often small in proportion to the mass, activist on the Right, his home and power-base is on and of the professional left. Big picture, that's where he can do the most damage going forward, not across the Right.
The professional left bought Brett Kimberlin. Now, they own him. What they do with him is their problem, not the Right's. But if they don't do what Brett Kimberlin believes to be the right, or correct thing, in what Mark Singer characterized as Brett Kimberlin's "weird world," they'll have hell to pay for it, as Brett Kimberlin, to the extent he's a product of and destined for anything in the end, it's Hell, make no mistake about that. Now, the professional Left has to figure out a way to get out of Brett Kimberlin's particular version of Hell without being burned by it.
Good luck with that! As far as I'm concerned, it couldn't happen to a more deserving group of people.
Hey Dan, is this a guy I should hunt down and adjust?
Waiting for the libs to set each other on fire.
With no water in sight.
WOOF!!
“Now, the professional Left has to figure out a way to get out of Brett Kimberlin’s particular version of Hell without being burned by it.”
Impossible to do. This goes past the professional left and right up the chain to the top, I’m thinking. And it’s happened before. They sent a message to our homes and families.
We’ll send them home to their families in pieces.
I linked you. Spot on!
Brett Kimberlin = narcissistic terrorist
GI’ s take an oath to protect AMERICA from ALL terrorists
Post his info and he will be dispatched immediately
SOROS too
Problem solved
Kimberlin might well end up dead.
Not that I particularly wish it, but he can implicate too many people, and some of those people are partial to Kimberlin’s own methods.
it seems that Kimberlin had friends in high places even while he was incarcerated. Perhaps someone would like to ask Carl Levin why he was going to bat for a convicted terrorist.

“Kimberlin might well end up dead.”
Yeah. Me, too…
If/when it gets covered by the media, expect adjectives such as “colorful” and “unconventional” to describe him. Who knows, maybe he’ll”get full Bill Ayres treatment from the NYT.
“Kimberlin might well end up dead.”
Dead men tell no tales.
One things for certain, how the commies deal with this is going to tell the tale of domestic enemies, how deep and entrenched they are, how far they are willing to go to extend their agenda. The radical chic crowd has much to account for. Which will never happen except in treason trials. Good luck on that!
I think for the most part, the enemies of Liberty have come to far, and have too much to loose to let this, I think, fellow psychopath and useful idiot derail their long march.
The one world order banksters and crooks entrenched in our system of government are protected in their rarefied ruling class elitism. From the Fabyan’s onward, they have billions upon billions invested, decades if not better than a century of sneaky underhanded social engineering, a series of narratives spanning every facet of our lives and rule of law, you can only screw so many for so long before payback is returned in spades.
Thing to remember, they are a tiny minority of people. Accounting for a fraction of a percent of the good people of America, but holding the allusion of vast power and control. Kimberlin is but a facet of the scope of corruption crammed up our arses.
As long as the ruse of power over all is continued, they rein supreme. It is when the average person begins to understand the social and economic scam they have been subjected to by this essentially organized crime syndicate in suits, this is when the dynamic changes.
It only took 3 percent of the population in our Republics founding to defeat the greatest power on Earth in that time.
I don’t think the left has close to the power of the tyranny of the British empire in King Georges time. The power the ruling elites have comes not, not yet any way, through the barrel of a gun, but through economic and social warfare, through a political class of a culture of corruption and crony capitolism.
It is the power of the sovereign where the true power in America lies. It is power inherent in we as people, as we the people. Fractured as this may be, the dynamic has evolved, great strides have been made, an awakening, a ground swell is under way.
It only remains to be seen if the window of opportunity the left has striven all these years for is slammed shut on their corrupted fingers by the rightful owners of their own Liberty and prosperity.
Hope so. The alternatives to peaceful redress are fraught with great dangers.
This isn’t a new problem and it leaves me flabbergasted (I love that word.. just not sure I can spell it
) when someone sends me a link to this story or a story about Bill Ayers and the like shocked and amazed that this is such a common thing on the left. After all, most of the folks I know here in New Mexico (*sigh*) think the only folks who are domestic terrorists, bombers and such are right wing nuts who kill abortion docs and stuff. They just can’t understand that the folks on the right who wind up committing violence are the exception to the rule.
On the left, they embrace people who commit crimes like this. Conservatives call them what they are: murderers. And for the most part, we want nothing to do with them. They are NOT part of what we consider to be the solution to making this country great. This issue, more than many, shows just how wide the divide is between liberal and conservative.
This guy is the new Charles Manson, except that girls don’t like him.
I’d like to know his whereabouts March 1.
