Summer (?), 2011: Democrats and liberals had every opportunity to reject debauchery and violence in the name of progressivism in 2011, with the emergence of the so-called Occupy Wall Street movement. Occupy’s violent tendencies were out in the open by the fourth week of this protest in lower Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park, which had by then created a sensation and resulted in chapters sprouting up in cities all over the world. The movement’s sister encampment in Rome had already exploded in violence by October 2011, when self-described “occupiers” smashed local shop and bank windows, destroyed ATMs, attacked news crews, and set cars alight. In New York, more than 700 protesters were arrested for attempting to shut down the Brooklyn Bridge.

Schakowsky, Illinois Democrat, stepped down from the campaign Tuesday, a day after Scott Foval was fired from his post as national field director of Americans United for Change. Foval was caught on videotape arranging for people to incite violence at Donald Trump rallies and saying that they were paid by the DNC, and that it would be easier to get away with voter fraud if out-of-state residents drive to the polls themselves rather than organizers busing them in. He also took credit for his thugs inciting violence at Trump’s Chicago rally where an old woman was injured. Video clips from hidden cameras capture Foval describing “agitator training” and tricks used to bait Trump supporters. He also is quoted as saying, “The thing that we have to watch is making sure there is a double blind between the actual campaign and the actual DNC and what we’re doing. There’s a double blind there, so they can plausibly deny that they knew anything about it.” The Media largely ignored the story, of course.

February 1, 2017: At Berkeley, mobs of students created a “war zone” ahead of a planned visit from conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos, injuring Trump supporters and causing $100,000 in damages. The interrupting protesters, which included Antifa activists and some who identified themselves as members of the left-wing group “By Any Means Necessary,” set fires, damaged property, threw fireworks, attacked members of the crowd, and threw rocks at the police. Within twenty minutes of the start of the violence, the Yiannopoulos event was officially canceled by the university police department due to security concerns, and protesters were ordered to disperse. The protests, however, continued for several hours afterwards, with some protesters moving into downtown Berkeley to break windows at several banks, a Starbucks, a Target, a Sprint store, and a T-Mobile store. Note: In the last two years alone, anti–“hate speech” activists have prevented Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Christina Hoff Sommers, and Condoleezza Rice from addressing the colleges to which they were invited because of their views on Islam, feminism, and foreign affairs respectively.

Summer (?) 2017: Since President Donald Trump’s inauguration, several House Republicans have been targets of violence. A woman was arrested for trying to run Tennessee Rep. David Kustoff off the road after a health care town hall; a man was arrested for grabbing North Dakota Rep. Kevin Cramer at a town hall; a 71-year-old female staffer for California Rep. Dana Rohrabacher was knocked out at a protest; and the FBI arrested a man for making death threats against Arizona Rep. Martha McSally.

June 14, 2017: Witness the blood-soaked congressional baseball field in Alexandria, Va., site of the shooting of U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., and other Republicans batting up for their annual bipartisan game. James Hodgkinson, a “fervent supporter of progressive politics,” showed up to the field with a rifle, a handgun and a hit list of Republicans. As Scalise fought for his life, MSNBC host Joy Reid felt conflicted: The attempted assassination was a “delicate thing” because of Scalise’s conservative views like opposition to gay marriage. “Are we required in a moral sense to put that aside in the moment?” she wondered. Yes, Joy, you are.

June 15, 2017: The day after the shooting, Republican Karen Handel, who was running in a special election in Atlanta, received suspicious packages at her home containing threatening letters and an unidentified white-powder substance. A letter Handel’s neighbor shared with the media told the recipient to "resist the fascist takeover," and appeared to borrow Marxist language, condemning the "bourgeoisie."

June 3, 2018: In Portland, Oregon, The progressive paradise, has witnessed millions in damages attributed to “Antifa”, the black-clad anti-fascists-in-name-only who, who sewed havoc and destruction in the city this year and last. This year they showed up to “counter-protest” against about 30 members of Patriot Prayer, a group there to defend the First Amendment. The attack landed 4 antifa in jail. Another Antifa attack the previous year at a pro-Trump rally in Portland saw 14 antifa thrown in jail for throwing bricks at the police.

June 24, 2018: Democrat representative Maxine Waters calls for violence, interference, “push-back” against anyone who is part of the Trump administration when they appear in public. Her words were condemned by the leaders of her own party.

July 6, 2018: Vandals caused $1,200 in damage and spray-painted “ABOLISH ICE” on the sidewalk at the Nebraska Republican Party office in Lincoln, Nebraska.

July 18, 2017: The Chicago Tribune publishes a commentary entitled “Liberal America Has a Political Violence Problem”

Holy crap! Mess with people’s free stuff and you can regret it. Funny thing is they feel perfectly justified in their actions. It’s very sad considering that these are as many as half the people in this country and maybe half the people that we work with and even have as friends, that condone such conduct and celebrate when it is successful.

An important item from 2008:

December 12, 2008— Barely one month after McCain and Palin are defeated by President Obama, Sarah Palin’s church was burned around the entire perimeter with women and children inside. Temperature outside the church was more than 20 below zero as firefighters put out the fire. It was clearly an act of political terrorism and arson.

I think this is very important research. I am glad you are doing it. I would also add:

https://www.cnn.com/2013/02/06/justice/dc-family-research-council-shooting/index.html

Floyd Corkins in 2012 sought to intimidate those opposing gay rights by going into the Family Research council ind DC with a gun and back pack full of chick-fil a sandwiches. He planned to compel victims to eat the sandwiches as they lay dying. Corking had a list of additional conservative sites he planned to attack provided by the SPLC.

Thanks for doing this. It’s important.

You might consider setting up a spreadsheet under Google Docs with a link for everyone to access. In the columns, you could have a date, a brief description, and a column of news links.

Here’s an example:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1B-95giwldeKgsd0nYiw_sEaSf4kGNLZgEIvEhL2mVAw/htmlview?sle=true#gid=0

You might also include a section on disturbing coincidences and possible warnings such as the death of Jim Jordan’s nephew last week. Many of us who are not the tin foil type are starting to think that too many coincidences make for no real coincidences (or very few).

Mind only goes back to 2016, but what I found interesting was the left was going like gang-busters from inauguration right up until November of 2017. Then, hardly a peep (unless I'm somehow missing something) and then in April of 18 it started up again and is like a house on fire now.
(Because of the formatting being Excel, it's an act of terror to post here, I'm Freepmailing you)

Wow. Great work! Thank you.

Nachum (RIP) kept amazing ‘lists’. Hence his name Nachumlist. His site isn’t accessible anymore which is a shame, he had so much information on it.

So, thank you again.

Don’t forget the two interruptions of Trump rallies when the SS had to get guys who lunged at Trump. Don’t forget the fights outside his rallies and the woman assaulted with eggs and other objects as men watched and would not let her inside a building. Cowards all.

It looks like her ‘cousin’ is still missing as of March this year.

Good one to add to the list of mysteries.
