A tale of Two Revolutions.
Via Patterico comes word of a move to "take back" the term
Velvet Revolution:
On November 19, 1989, the people of Prague, in the former state of
Czechoslovakia, gathered to commemorate a massacre of Czech students by
Nazi Germany fifty years earlier. By the end of the day, the gathering
turned into a demonstration against a ruling Communist government that
had begun massacring Czechs and Slovaks from virtually the moment the
Nazis were booted out. By December 29, 1989, without a shot fired, the
protesters had driven out their Communist masters, electing poet,
playwright, and political prisoner Vaclav Havel as interim President.
This peaceful revolt by a peaceful people against their Stalinist puppet
government became known as the “Velvet Revolution”.
On November 30, 2004, convicted terrorist bomber, drug dealer, and
perjurer Brett Kimberlin formed a Maryland corporation for the purpose
of soliciting tax-exempt donations from the public and charitable
foundations, to promote an alleged “network of more than 100 progressive
organizations reaching millions of people demanding progressive change
through our various campaigns”. Campaigns such as offering bounties for
the head of the Chamber of Commerce, the impeachment of a Supreme Court Justice, and proof that John Kerry actually won the 2004 presidential election.
This corporation was also known as the Velvet Revolution, or “VelvetRevolution.US, Inc.” according to its corporate filings.
The idea it to link to the post and to the site as much as possible in order to lower the Google score of Kimberlin's organization:
If you link to this post, this site rises to the top of a search for
Velvet Revolution. If you add this site to your blogroll, this site
rises even further. And Brett Kimberlin’s site falls.
So I've dutifully linked to their post and have added them to my blogroll, and so should you, dear readers (both of you).
