Maurice Schwenkler research thread..........


An officer driving by the office on Santa Fe Drive at about 2:30 a.m. saw the vandalism going on and stopped and told them he was a police officer. The two people then got on bikes and rode off. The officer drove after them and was only able to catch and arrest one of them because they split up.

Police said the man they arrested is Maurice Schwenkler, 24.

Glass was all over the sidewalk at the headquarters on Tuesday morning. Democratic party officials said they think the vandalism is in reaction to the heated health care debate.

2. He's a "christian"

He signed this petition......

An Urgent Appeal: Please Release Our Friends in Iraq

Four members of Christian Peacemaker Teams were taken this past Saturday, November 26, in Baghdad, Iraq. They are not spies, nor do they work in the service of any government. They are people who have dedicated their lives to fighting against war and have clearly and publicly opposed the invasion and occupation of Iraq. They are people of faith, but they are not missionaries. They have deep respect for the Islamic faith and for the right of Iraqis to self-determination.

C.P.T. first came to Iraq in October 2002 to oppose the US invasion, and it has remained in the country throughout the occupation in solidarity with the Iraqi people. The group has been invaluable in alerting the world to many of the horrors facing Iraqis detained in US-run prisons and detention centers. C.P.T. was among the first to document the torture occurring at the Abu Ghraib prison, long before the story broke in the mainstream press. Its members have spent countless hours interviewing Iraqis about abuse and torture suffered at the hands of US forces and have disseminated this information internationally.

3. Judging from the Google returns, I'm guessing Mr. Schwenkler is actually a leftist.
Note the signing of a petition to release workers in held in Iraq (also signed by Cindy Sheehan) and a payment from the Colorado Citizens Coalition (an SEIU front org.) to a Maurice Schwenkler.

21. I think this is probably this kid's father
who is also a member of the Colorado Citizens' Coalition, a group that backs progressive political candidates, among other things.

This kid doesn't seem like any kind of progressive so far.

This one is going to be very interesting to follow.

7. This kid is strange....

Title: Article -- The State of the Metagame Address
Post by: hippie tourach on October 22, 2003, 04:36:06 PM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No, but to write good Magic articles you have to not only be presumptuous but also list "qualifications" at the end of your articles.

I should end my posts with:
Maurice Schwenkler
Harvard University, College of Magic the Gathering
Member, The Mana Drain
Member, MTG News
Member, Hotmail
Author, THIS POST
Maintainer, my homepage
President, Type I
Ruler, The World

Then people will listen when I say every card I don't play with should be restricted...

yes...

8. He's not strange, he just plays a card game.
Edited on Tue Aug-25-09 04:13 PM by SteppingRazor
Never heard of Magic?

On edit: Well, yes, he's obviously quite strange. Just not for the reasons you posted.

11. Yeah, he's talking about a card game called Magic:The Gathering. It was big in the 90s...
among the Dungeons & Dragons set.

9. It looks like he went to the German Swiss International School
Edited on Tue Aug-25-09 04:21 PM by Joanne98
It's his facebook network...

The German Swiss International School was established in 1969 as the first international school for German-speaking expatriate children in Hong Kong, but also serves numerous local Chinese. It is split into two streams, a larger English Stream and a smaller German Stream.

The school is built on land provided by the Hong Kong government. It had 73 students in its opening year, but now has more than 1,200 students from over 31 different countries.

15. I imagine Maurice thought it up himself...
he's basically the left-wing version of that idiot that had a backward "B" on her face at the end of the presidential campaign.

16. Maybe not --what's the time line for that petition?
It was Dec '08 when he donated to Colorado Citizen's Coalition. Perhaps he used to be a leftist until a Black man got to the White House. Maybe he's gone all te way to LaRouch territory.

20. Maybe not.
But it's best to stick with reasonable default hypotheses, not assume the conclusion and force all the data to fall into line to reach that conclusion.

18. Police might have the wrong guy
I wouldn't be surprised if he had nothing to do with this vandalism, and authorities are just trying to pin it on him.

I would not be in the least bit surprised.

19. Doesn't have to be an inside job.
Some people on the left consider some of Obama's policies as selling out, not sufficiently left.

"Inside job" to me sounds like something organized or planned by the local Party in order to create sympathy for the local party, an erstwhile 'false flag' operation. I think he actually meant what he did and hoped to change behavior in his own small way. Perhaps he had a falling out with some local dem leader, to boot.

Sounds like he has an anger management issue. Too bad, maybe he'll get some help.

25. More info - looks like he is not a freeper.
http://www.denverpost.com/ci_13208254

Paid to canvass for democratic candidate and arrested at the RNC convention. Don't know if it was an inside job (ie him thinking that R's would be blamed) or if he thinks the D's are selling out by not fighting for single payer.

Interesting.
