Retraction re: Brett Kimberlin of JTMP |
|
Edited on Fri Dec-10-04 01:12 PM by jamboi
My further research has uncovered the point that there seem to be two separate Brett Kimberlins who have both been to Federal prison, but the guy associated with JTMP seems to be a different Brett Kimberlin than the one I wrote about before. The JTMP Brett Kimberlin is the guitarist for a punk band named Epoxy and went to prison for only two years on something that he frames as a freedom of speech issue (though I haven't figured out exactly what it was) and he was appearently taken up as a US political prisoner by Amnesty International and won his release. He is not the same fellow as the guy who claimed to have sold Quayle drugs (as I'd written before who was in prison for 15 years and who also was a self-proclaimed political prisoner and who also had help from Amnesty International in getting off after 15 years of his 51 year sentence for allegedly setting off bombs in Indiana. My sincere regrets for having confused these two confusingly similar accounts.
I'm still looking into whether the JTMP rewards program could be being used to smoke out whistleblowers and eliminate them, but now I see that as a separate issue, and not likely to be an intentional JTMP effect, but something that non-JTMP baddies might intend.
Just to be clear, my previous post started like this:
"Whistleblower reward used to uncover good guys and eliminate them??? Edited on Tue Dec-07-04 12:05 PM by jamboi
"Research has revealed that this Justice Through Music guy is the same person who spent a number of years in the Federal slammer for selling cocaine and setting off bombs in Indiana and he's the guy who claimed he sold marijuana to Dan Quayle!! Sounds like it is likely he did sell dope to Quayle since that has been confirmed by other sources. This vote scam reward group may be a Bushco operation to smoke out evidence and witnesses and destroy them when the Music guy's name comes forward. And is the "Velvet Revolution" involved in this? Here's an article that is relevant:
QUAYLE PRISONER By James H. Rubin, Associated Press Writer APn 10/09/93
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A federal appeals court tossed out a lawsuit by an inmate who accused prison officials of improperly muzzling his 1988 election-eve bid to publicize allegations he sold marijuana to Dan Quayle."

Is not insignificent. Who or what was the source of the money?
Does the money, in fact, exist? Has there been any proof of the existance of an escrow account?
Punk bands do not make a lot of money, as a rule.

JTMP, so I figure its through his connections that this money is raised. Don't know for sure, but that would be my guess.
Also I don't think $200,000 is enough to risk your life for. But that's just me.
