When I got up this morning, my e-mail inbox was graced by a person who had provided me with information in the past and has been proven trustworthy. This person has skills that involve ferreting out information from the cracks. By analyzing this information, I feel comfortable in stating that the available evidence supports the hypothesis that the pseudonymous blogger “Kimberlin Unmasked” is more than one person.
The documents reveal a pattern that supports the original theory that Lynn Thomas, aka Caoilfhionn Malone, who until recently blogged at “They Don’t Fool Me.”
But she clearly was not the only one using the account.
The documents show that the @KimberlinUnmask Twitter account was created at 10:37am EDT on May 29, 2012, by the owner of the casualnexus.george@gmail.com account, already determined to be Lynn Thomas. The creation IP address was 98.226.30.198, which an IP locator shows…
This is identical to the information we developed when Google revealed the e-mail address of the person who created the Kimberlin Unmasked Blogspot Blog, which has since relocated to an offshore server, only to be shut down when Montgomery County Circuit Court Judge Sharon Burrell ordered Google to release all information it has on the identification of the person who requested the account. (This is not that information, as it seems to have been gleaned from Twitter, not Google.)
The date of the Twitter account’s creation is significant as it was but a few days since Lee Stranahan authored his “Everybody Blog about Brett Kimberlin Day” blog post.
An audit of the IP addresses used to log into @KimberlinUnmask between Oct. 31 and Dec. 29, 2013 reveals some surprises.
For instance, in the period between Oct. 31 and Nov. 10, there are 145 Tweets originating from an anonymous IP address hosted in the Ukraine. The IP numbers 91.229.79.100 through 236 are used. This server is owned by the following individual:
Most of the tweeting between Oct. 21 and Nov. 10 originates from the IP addresses owned by Leonidovich. We can assume he operates an anonymizer as a search of his name reveals some apparently shady dealings.
Most of the other tweets in this time period come from an ATT provider in Western Springs, IL (very near the last known address of Lynn Thomas), someone using Peer 1 hosting in San Antonio, Texas, and WordPress.com servers through hosts in Atlanta and San Francisco. One tweet on Nov. 8 originates from Chicago (also near the home of Lynn Thomas) from server.webpublishingdeals.info on FDC Servers. Another WordPress originated tweet comes from Austin, Texas on Nov. 9. Who do we know that lives in Austin, Texas?
Dustin Farahnak, webmaster for the University of Texas School of Law, @Dust92.
And who do we know who lives in San Antonio? None other than my now suspended nemesis @bet0001970. She posts as one of Hoge’s lickspittles as Black Betty. We make this connection thusly:
Bettina Haper. On Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/beth.haper
The Avatar? If you have ever been “lucky” enough to be in her sights, you have seen this avatar before. It was used by @bet0001979 before she, and “Black Betty” changed their avatars into the leather-clad ass of a gun toting woman.
I think, given the nature of her blogging, her incessant attacks on me on Hoge’s blog as “Black Betty” and her now-suspended Twitter account, we can make a safe assumption that ONE of the people who had access to the Kimberlin Unmasked Twitter account was Bettina Harper of San Antonio, Texas.
So, now we have Lynn Thomas, Dustin Farahnak and Bettina Haper. Anyone else?
They stopped using the Kiev account after November 10 and started doing business with a variety of servers in the Netherlands. We continue to see tweets from WordPress.com servers in San Francisco and Atlanta. Western Springs, Ill., the IP of the original @Kimberlinunmask request is in Western Springs, as you will recall. There are also tweets from Chicago (FDC Servers) and Peer 1 Hosting in Atlanta.
The vast majority of the tweets after Nov. 10 come from the Netherlands servers. On Nov. 17, there is a tweet from Go Grid Cloud Hosting in San Francisco, more WordPress.com server tweets from Atlanta and SF on the 18th. Who do we know with WordPress.com accounts? Well, WJJ Hoge hosts on WordPress.com to the best of our knowledge. As did Kimberlin Unmasked in the Netherlands.
So, add WJJ Hoge to the suspect list which would make him guilty of perjury if this bears out as he swore under oath he had no idea who Kimberlin Unmasked was.
Recall when Kender MacGowan said Lynn Thomas was in Rome?
Why, yes. That was November 20. Kender says she had no web access.
O Rly?
We see the first of many tweets from a Rome IP on November 23. There are tweets from Rome all the way through the end of the month. Then, we start seeing occasional tweets from a server in Sweden.
On December 3, someone from Dallas sent a tweet from Limestone Networks. That’s a company that provides expensive servers for hardcore gamers.
Through Dec. 8, most of Tweets are from the Netherlands, San Antonio and Chicago, Then we see a couple from Waveform Technology in Troy, Michigan.
There is no activity on the account at all from Dec. 19-24. A single Tweet from the Netherlands on the 24th, and one from San Antonio on the 29th.
What does this prove? Beyond the shadow of a doubt?
Not a thing.
But it’s some good circumstantial evidence.
I’ve attached a link to the evidence I was left. Take a look. Make your own conclusions.
But Lynn Thomas? Bettina Haper? Dustin Farahnak? WJJ Hoge? Care to put your hand on a bible?
