1 suspect in custody following Dem HQ vandalism in Denver

The Denver PostPosted: 08/25/2009 11:53:20 AM MDTA volunteer cleans up glass at the Colorado Democratic Party Headquarters after someone smashed nearly all the windows of the office early Tuesday morning, on August 25, 2009. (THE DENVER POST
A 24-year-old arrested this morning on suspicion of smashing 11 windows at Colorado Democratic Party headquarters tried to conceal his identity while allegedly committing the crime, according to police descriptions.
Maurice Schwenkler wore a shirt over his face, a hooded sweat shirt and latex gloves before he and another man fled the scene on bicycles, police said. Schwenkler was apprehended after a short chase. The other suspect remains at large.
While Schwenkler does not appear in the state’s voter registration database, a person by that name in November 2008 received $500 from a political 527 committee called Colorado Citizens Coalition for “communications,” according to campaign finance disclosures.
The accountant for the 527 appears to be the same woman who handles the books for many other Democratic-leaning political committees.
A Maurice Schwenkler also signed an online 2005 petition to free anti-war Christian protesters who were captured in Iraq.
State Democratic Party Chairwoman Pat Waak initially blamed the vandalism on animosity surrounding the health care debate, though Denver police declined to comment on possible motives.
The shattered windows were emblazoned with posters touting President Barack Obama and the Democratic position on health care reform.
The other storefronts surrounding the building on West Eighth Avenue and Santa Fe Drive in downtown Denver’s art district were untouched. But the Democratic posters are scuffed from hammer blows, Waak said.
“We ought to be having a serious, conscientious debate about what’s best for the country,” Waak said. “Clearly there’s been an effort on the other side to stir up hate. I think this is the consequence of it.”
She estimates the damage at $11,000.
An officer on patrol spotted vandals in the act around 2:20 a.m. and took Schwenkler into custody after a short chase, Denver police spokeswoman Vicki Ferrari said.
And, lo and behold, the police arrested the 2nd person – a transgender anarchist. Pretty clearly, “she” is not a Republican:
Ariel Attack, a Denver-based anarchist, was arrested at 2:27am Tues, 24 here in Denver for allegedly smashing 11 windows of the Democratic Party headquaters at 777 Santa Fe Drive.
***PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY***
Ariel Attack, a Denver-based anarchist, was arrested at 2:27am Tues, 24 here in Denver for allegedly smashing 11 windows of the Democratic Party headquaters at 777 Santa Fe Drive.
Right now we are trying to raise the bail money for her to get out of jail; her bail hearing will be tomorrow at 10am Denver time. Several lawyers have told us to expect anywhere from between $3,000 to $10,000 in bail, and due to the high publicity of the case here in Denver, we are expecting higher (lead story for most all local news outlets, and being picked up by national news networks).
At this moment, we do not know Ariel’s status within the jail, especially regarding her gender classification. We have been unable to talk with Ariel since she went in. She is listed in the jail records and media under her birth name. We also do not know what plans, if any, she had made for this situation.
So you see, when you hear about the “stirring up of hate,” think Democrats.
When you see a swastika and hear a Democrat talking about the vileness of Republicans, realize that a Democrat almost certainly put it there.
When you see Democrats blaming Republicans for something that is truly awful, realize that in all probability, a Democrat did it.
This has been going on at least since the 1960s, when radical black students burned a cross in a black women’s dorm to justify their violent riots.
The episode gives Kyle-Ann Shiver’s article, “Obama’s Nazi Straw Man: An Old Alinsky Trick,” a whole lot more credibility:
When Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and now the president’s own deputy press secretary conjure up images of Nazis at healthcare town halls, they are engaging in one of the oldest tricks in anyone’s book, but an especial favorite of their mentor, Saul Alinsky.Alinsky himself employed this method, quite deviously. Alinsky biographer, Sanford D. Horwitt provides an anecdote using precisely this same diabolical tactic to deceive the people. From Horwitt’s Let Them Call Me Rebel:“…in the spring of 1972, at Tulane University…students asked Alinsky to help plan a protest of a scheduled speech by George H. W. Bush, then U.S. representative to the United Nations – a speech likely to include a defense of the Nixon administration’s Vietnam War policies. The students told Alinsky they were thinking about picketing or disrupting Bush’s address. That’s the wrong approach, he rejoined, not very creative – and besides causing a disruption might get them thrown out of school. He told them, instead, to go to hear the speech dressed as members of the Ku Klux Klan, and whenever Bush said something in defense of the Vietnam War, they should cheer and wave placards reading, ‘The KKK supports Bush.’ And that is what they did, with very successful, attention-getting results.”Planting major falsehoods has been a favorite Alinsky strategy from the start. His acolyte, Barack Obama, learned his Industrial Areas Foundation lessons on deceiving for power while on a side trip during his Harvard years, then taught the Alinsky power tactics at the University of Chicago.
Democrats are increasingly becoming truly vile people. They don’t believe in God, they don’t believe in objective truth, they believe in the same postmodern and existentialist principles that led to Marxism and Nazism, and their philosophy of “will to power” permits them to say anything or do anything that will advance their agenda – no holds barred, and no consequences beyond their ideological objective ever once considered.

Thanks for documenting the truth about this event, Michael. Everyday it is just absolutely stunning to behold the vile lies and actions done by these people, then blame others. Their tactics are absolutely despicable AND predictable at this point.
We’ve figured them out and we’ve got their number!
May every God fearing, country loving American fight Obama and his forces and may our Lord grant us mercy and victory.

The sick thing about it is that this is a war where the dirtiest, most amoral scumbag seems to win – and Democrats have us so badly outgunned its unreal.
In our first World War, Germans introduced genocide. They introduced total war (deliberately targeting civilians, the means of production, and even civilian food supplies). They introduced poison gas and chemical warfare. They introduced the concept of war by attrition, deliberately creating meatgrinders (such as at Verdun). Again and again as the war progressed, they just kept upping the ante, getting uglier and uglier. And the only way the allies could stay in the fight was to embrace these same tactics themselves.
We are now at a point where the politics of demonization and demagoguery achieve victory. It is in reality a terrible statement about the amorality of the American public that such tactics work. The more deceitful and the more cynical, the more successful. It worked on Bush and Republicans, and it will work on Obama and Democrats.
The thing is, I’m just not willing to stoop even 1/50th as low as Democrats are willing to stoop – and most conservatives are similarly just not willing to go “there.”
And that’s why I ultimately think we will lose (maybe not now, maybe not in the next couple elections, but ultimately we will LOSE). Democrats will just keep getting lower and lower and nastier and nastier, until they win what has become a game of political “limbo” dance. Conservatives just can’t – won’t – go as low as liberals.
I believe we live in “God damn America” now (to quote Obama’s preacher for 23 years). God used to protect us from ourselves, but no longer. Now things will get worse, and then worse again.
I hope I’m wrong, and I intend to keep fighting, but that’s where I think things are going.
Ultimately it won’t be my citizenship as an American that saves me from anything, but rather my citizenship in the Kingdom of Heaven under the rule of Jesus Christ.
He, by the way, is the reason I will simply refuse to go as low in the political limbo as liberals.

My hope is that it’s not too late, that God hasn’t turned his back on America. This is the first time in my 61 years, that I am frightened about what is happening. Thank you for your excellence.

The ONE thing we know is that even if God turns His back on America, He most certainly will NOT turn His back on His people – on those who cling to His name and to His goodness.
We don’t know what God’s threshold is. His ways are greater than our ways, and we cannot always understand them.
I remember in the Book of Genesis, God told Abraham that one day – in 400 years – the land he stood on would belong to Abraham’s descendants. But not yet, God told Abraham. “For the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.”
God judges the nations. He is not mocked. We know these things.
We don’t know God’s timetable for judgment, or what His criteria are for judgment. But we do know that when a people arrogantly turn away from God and mock His ways, God turns His back on that nation and allows them to reap the whirlwind that they’ve sown for themselves.
My prayer is not for the nation, but for Christian believers to stand up, and to stand strong, and to fight for what is right and oppose what is wrong. My prayer is that the American people will repent, turn from their ways, and find their salvation in God rather than in big government.
