Why Is The State Dept. Partnering With ‘Speedway Bomber’ Brett Kimberlin?

Why Is The State Department Partnering With Domestic Terrorist Brett Kimberlin?

Following The Blaze’s extensive coverage of the Indiana Speedway Bomber (Brett Kimberlin) turned Soros-funded “social justice” activist who routinely terrorizes bloggers, is a provocative post at United Liberty asking why The State Department has been teaming up with the domestic terrorist. Consider the following passage from Kimberlin’s “Justice Through Music” website:

MAY 24, 2012 - JTMP has been a participant in the State Department’s International Visitor Leadership Program for 3 years now, where citizens from around the world involved in the arts get to come to America and visit to learn about the role of arts in the US. This year we had visitors that came from Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Jordan and Tunisia to see how Justice Through Music Project uses art to raise awareness on issues, and to bring about social change. This year’s contingent had musicians, playwrights, and people involved in art production. We gave them a presentation and showed them many of our musical art videos that deal with politics and issues, while we spoke about how we operate and produce our art videos. We then showed them how we use this art on our website and YouTube channel to raise awareness on an issue to help bring about positive social change.

Why Is The State Department Partnering With Domestic Terrorist Brett Kimberlin?You‘re probably not alone if you’re wondering what exactly those music videos were about. Additionally, given Kimberlin’s history, it begs the question: Why is the State Department teaming up with a convicted domestic terrorist?

Below is information on the International Visitor Leadership Program that explains its purpose:

The International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) is the U.S. Department of State’s premier professional exchange program.  Launched in 1940, the IVLP is a professional exchange program that seeks to build mutual understanding between the U.S. and other nations through carefully designed short-term visits to the U.S. for current and emerging foreign leaders.  These visits reflect the International Visitors’ professional interests and support the foreign policy goals of the United States.

Who are considered “international visitors?”:

International Visitors are current or emerging leaders in government, politics, the media, education, the arts, business and other key fields. Over 5,000 International Visitors come to the United States from all over the world each year. Since its inception in 1940, thousands of distinguished individuals have participated in the International Visitor Leadership Program, including 330 current and former Chiefs of State and Heads of Government, thousands of cabinet-level ministers, and many other distinguished leaders from the public and private sectors.

What’s more, the State Department website goes on to explain that these international visitors travel to the U.S. to engage in “carefully designed programs that reflect their professional interests and U.S. foreign policy goals.”

Does the State Department mean to say that a convicted domestic terrorist’s program (thought to be a front group by some) accurately “reflects” U.S. foreign policy goals? The Blaze reached out to the department for comment but has yet to receive a reply.

For the record, below is one of the few recent photographs of Kimberlin available on the JTM website. Ironically, is the one holding up the peace sign.

    Nothing the State Department has done for the past 60 years has surprised. Most people inside that organization have been supporters of leftist countries and policies forever. They are imbeded career
    hacks, who do everything they can, at every opportunity to make the US look bad. Along with the other Marxist den of thieves, the UN, they work in concert toward the same goal, i.e., a one world government under which every citizen is accountable to the UN.

    Kimberlim just used a bomb in the 1970′s so i do not understand why he is not teaching a college class, writing children books, and giving advice to obama just like bill ayers, they seem like two peas in the pod to me.

      Kimberlin was convicted as the so-called “Speedway Bomber,” who terrorized the city of Speedway, Indiana, by detonating a series of explosives in early September 1978. In the worst incident, Kimberlin placed one of his bombs in a gym bag, and left it in a parking lot outside Speedway High School. Carl Delong was leaving the high school football game with his wife when he attempted to pick up the bag and it exploded. The blast tore off his lower right leg and two fingers, and embedded bomb fragments in his wife’s leg. He was hospitalized for six weeks, during which he was forced to undergo nine operations to complete the amputation of his *529 leg, reattach two fingers, repair damage to his inner ear, and remove bomb fragments from his stomach, chest, and arm. In February 1983, he committed suicide.

      After being convicted of the bombings and related offenses, Kimberlin was sentenced to a fifty-year term of imprisonment for manufacturing and possessing a destructive device, and malicious damage by explosives with personal injury in violation of 26 U.S.C. §§ 5861(d) and (f), and 18 U.S.C. §§ 844(f) and (i). He received a concurrent twelve-year sentence for impersonating a federal officer, illegal use of a Department of Defense insignia, and illegal use of the Presidential Seal in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 912, 701, and 713, respectively, and a five-year term for receipt of explosives by a convicted felon in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 842(i)(1).

    This years visitors were all members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. I doubt that much of the conversation at this years gathering involved much discussion on the arts but I have no doubt that there were many discussions on social change. The change of America to the 58th state of the OIC perhaps?

    Why is anyone surprised that this administration is partnering with a terrorist and criminal? I’m not.
    Look at who is already part of the Obama White House and look at who are past and present associates of Obama.

    The idiocy is that the subversion is from within and mostly funded by taxpayers either directly from Government agencies or laundered through non taxed nonprofit front organizations..
