He is another UC Santa Barbara connection and the brother-in-law of Sean Lotman. He contacted me through his wife, Misako Inaoka, an aspiring artist (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/misako-inaoka/, http://www.misakoinaoka.com/, https://delicatecreatures.wordpress.com/), like her sister. Zimbleman, like Lotman, is suspected to be an officer in the CIA. He helps teach children theater, apparently, at Doshisha University, which will have its own dedicated post soon, as it has many more suspected CIA and MI6 officers than the one I have discussed here (Jones) thus far (though I have mentioned Chandler in passing).
Zimbleman contacted me an invited to a putative
meeting of a literature discussion group (which was called off after much ado) that he and Lotman host, called the
Monkey Shoulder Gang-interestingly enough—after a whisky bottle (a Speyside
vatting). Among the members of the group, listed below in its entirety—as far
as I know—is Eric Luong, the Chinese Canadian intelligence officer I’ve already
mentioned on the blog. Luong, along with suspected CIA officer Ash Ryan, is
involved in producing the Kyoto iteration of the globalized event called PechaKucha,
which also needs a dedicated blog post, but for now a couple of links will
suffice. It should be noted that an Irish G2 intelligence officer, Jay Klaphake,
was one of the co-founders of the Kyoto iteration of the TEDxKyoto version of
the TED talks. The pattern of intelligence officers coopting international
forums such as these is representative of the intelligence agencies’ efforts to
colonize and monopolize civil society.
The first shows Lotman as a presented talking about
photography:
The second Zimbleman talking about art:
The third the general staff of the Kyoto iteration of
the event, which includes a link to Ryan and Luong interviewing a computer
scientist from India, I gather:

translation function if you can’t read French; he is actually also British, it
would seem, and the café is in my neighborhood, though I've avoided it as it is trying to become a hipster
scene.)
