Aurora, Colorado: Who Will Answer?

By Rich Kozlovich
 
Recently there's been a lot of news about Tren de Aragua (TDa) an illegal immigrant gang from Venezuela, all heavily armed, who've taken over apartment buildings in Aurora, Colorado, forcing the tenants to give them their rent money.   And they're doing this in a state that has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation. 
 
If that's true, and it is, how did these illegal aliens get these weapons? Here's what's true, when the government takes guns away from honest citizens, only the criminals, murders, thugs will be armed, and it's clear the police won't be able to handle it with the current anti police thinking from America's "leaders".  Then Americans will hand over their freedom to these leftist monsters and we'll accept tyranny in order to be "safe".  Then America will not be safe, or free.  Which is what these radical misfits want.
 
Well, this isn't just in Colorado, they're a group of thugs that were banded together by "President" of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro, and he lost control of them, and now they're an international criminal organization with headquarters in many places outside of Venezuela.  I'll tell you what, we'll come back to that.

America has no idea what's coming, but not all Americans are ignorant of the deadly consequences of the Democrat's immigration policies, or better yet to say their lack of immigration policies, where in some insane fashion they think they're going to be immune to the consequences of their insanity.  
 
But before we move on to just how dangerous this is at a national level, let's first focus on Aurora, Colorado. I have a very conservative friend who retired to Colorado so I called him to ask his views.  Understand, Colorado is considered a blue state because the major cities are all filled with ex-California leftists who were escaping the insanity they created there, and are now imposing that same kind of insatiably in Colorado, turning it into a "sanctuary state".  
 
Outside the major cities, the residents of the counties are, according to my friend, even more conservative than me.   At any rate after talking to him I realized this was a really convoluted mess with more to come, so I held off writing this piece.  Well, now it's here. 

I noted in a previous piece the authorities were doing nothing about it and the governor wants everyone to ignore the videos showing what was going on.  The city accused the landlord of allowing his properties "to become trash-ridden, gang-infested hellhole", and how true that is may be debatable, but I was an exterminator for 40 years, and that's not as uncommon as you may think.  

At any rate the landlord agreed to sell properties, apparently to avoid prosecution, but as important as that may be, all that obfuscates the fact the governmental authorities and the police refused to do anything about these gangs, including "Democrat Governor, Jared Polis" who claims this is all imaginary, "that is until an apartment resident filmed an armed gang breaking into a man’s apartment and the video went viral."   

They knew about all this back in June, because the letters sent to them asking for authorities to do their jobs is now a matter of record, and they did nothing!  As for the trash buildup, it became so dangerous in these buildings the staff quit their jobs and there was no one left to clean up.  So, who's fault is that?

Finely, almost four months later the cops crack down on migrant apartment gangs and ICE confirms they’re illegal aliens, all admitted into America under the insane Biden-Harris administration policies.  And they arrest four..... four.... that's it?  Even when doing their jobs they're abject failures.

The question that I have to believe is on every Colorado resident's mind is what will be done about it in November?  

Colorado residents clearly cannot trust their politicians to protect them. Democrat narratives, not public safety, are their priority. They are, for the moment, embarrassed into action, but the moment public attention moves on to other outrages narrative maintenance will once again be their priority.

Imagine the plight of residents of such an apartment complex. Constantly threatened by armed gangsters, they’re unsafe in their apartments, and in coming and going. Calling the police exposes them to danger, and Jurinsky explained unless the police can send four or more officers to calls there, they won’t come at all. Worse, the police must develop probable cause to make arrests for individual crimes, and witnesses are hard to come by. Making arrests may or may not result in bail, and prosecutors may or may not sustain appropriate charges. Judges may or may not impose serious sentences upon conviction.

Trust is lost when the rule of law is uncertain.

But this is the tip of the iceberg.  This same gang has taken over apartments in Dallas and Chicago, and the  Gateway Hotel in El Paso, and who are authorities blaming?  The owners.  In New York it's being reported there are over 400 Tren De Aragua Venezuelan gang members active in New York City.  

All this was the totally predictable consequences of the Democrat created nightmare of open border polices.  A bloodbath of crime and corruption, and the enslavement  of women and children at the hands of traffickers.   

Here's the incontrovertible moral truth and reality of all this. The Biden/Harris administration, the Democrats, RINO's, the Hollywood trash, academia, the media, and the billionaires who support them, all have the blood and the destroyed lives of innocents on their hands.  And I'm a firm believer someone is watching to call them to account. 
 
Update, 12:45 PMLaw firm hired to investigate gang activity in Aurora, CO reveals unsettling details:  

Through violence and intimidation, a Venezuelan gang took over the Whispering Pines apartment complex in Aurora and sought to collect up to half of the rent from leaseholders, drying up collections for the landlord, according to a law firm’s investigation.  At the behest of a lender, the international law firm Perkins Coie investigated the alleged criminal activities at Whispering Pines apartments, a 54-unit complex in Aurora, and outlined an operation that included establishing a ‘lower-level’ presence last year, which then escalated into violence and intimidation, the apparent goal of which was to turn the complex into a steady source of income for the gang.

The law firm said once the gang was entrenched at the complex, it used the units for illegal activities, including the prostitution of minors.  The gang, the law firm added, ‘operated in the open,’ patrolled the area and ‘terrorized the community.’

So what did that “lower-level” presence in Whispering Pines look like? Well, according to the same report, gang members issued death threats and menaced the property manager so badly, he later fled; at this point, they told the property’s employees that they were now “working for” TdA. Here’s more, regarding the specifics:

‘The evidence we have reviewed indicates that gang members are engaging in flagrant trespass violations, assaults and battery, human trafficking and sexual abuse of minors, unlawful firearms possession, extortion, and other criminal activities, often targeting vulnerable Venezuelan and other immigrant populations,’ Perkins Coie, the law firm representing U.S. Bank Trust Company, wrote on Aug. 9.

What about the media? Mainstream outlets told us to “ignore” what was merely a fantastical “tale” from President Trump...... Progressives and the media are one of the greatest enemies of the American public.

‘The gang’s modus operandi appears to be to unlawfully move gang members as well as vulnerable immigrant families into vacant units,’ the law firm wrote. ‘The gang also forces rent-paying residents out to create more open units and uses the apartments for purposes of illegal activities such as prostitution. In addition, the gang attempted to use threats of violence to extort the property manager into paying it some 50% of all rental income.’

Of course, none of this is surprising for one of the most notorious gangs in the Americas—it’s well known that human-trafficking is a huge money-maker, with global estimates of industry revenue totaling in the hundreds of billions of dollars.

Now, when the first video of the heavily armed Venezuelans went viral, the state governor Jared Polis attempted to gaslight concerned Americans, arguing that what we were seeing was all just a figment of an overactive “imagination” — I wonder what Polis would say now?

What about the media? Mainstream outlets told us to “ignore” what was merely a fantastical “tale” from President Trump........Progressives and the media are one of the greatest enemies of the American public.

Coming Attractions From Today's News

If a godless, communist thug comes to power in a country, chances are pretty good lots of people will get killed. These are principles that history has consistently verified............The Democrat hierarchy now is hard-core Marxists/Leftist, people with no conscience whatsoever, to which political power means everything. And they will stop at nothing to obtain it. - Mark Lewis 

By Rich Kozlovich

 

 

Last week I posted this article,  Illegal Aliens, Gun Control, National Security, and Treason, and in that piece I discussed the take over of a number of apartment buildings by gangs of illegal aliens from Venezuela forcing the tenants to give them their rent money.  I noted in that piece the authorities were doing nothing about it and the governor wants everyone to ignore the videos showing what was going on.  In that piece I linked an article that stated: 

Most Americans have no idea what’s coming when the invasion forces that have already penetrated and occupied America are given the “purge” activation order to exterminate and replace American citizens.

 Well, not all Americans are ignorant of the deadly consequences of the Democrat's immigration policies, or better to say their lack of immigration policies, where in some insane fashion they think they're going to be immune to the consequences of their insanity.  This article appeared to day, Coming Soon to a Town Near You: The Aurora Illegals Invasion, saying:

Last week, armed Tren de Aragua (TDa) gang members,Illegal immigrants from Venezuela, pounded on apartment doors in Aurora, Colorado, and bullied residents. This problem may spread to communities across our nation because Democrat politicians have opened our southern border to criminal illegal aliens -- many have been flown in -- and they are going to set up residences and headquarters in many places.

Note:  This is now an international criminal gang created by Maduro for his political purposes and he lost control of them. RK

The article goes on to show the insanity of how this is being dealt with, and I gotta tell ya, this falls under the category of "you just can't make this stuff up".  In New York three out four arrested in Manhattan neighborhood are migrants, and on Monday's almost every court case is a migrant.  As for this international criminal Venezuelan gang, they're already in New York and tied to "hundreds of crimes, including the shootings of two NYPD cops who were trying to arrest a member in June."  If you like this, thank Biden, Kamala, and the criminal organization known as the Democrat party.

Remember, these enablers are the same nitwits that scream demonstrators on January 6th were insurrectionists, and have through judicial corruption abused these people's Constitutional rights.  Something that needs addressing at a criminal level if Trump is elected.  There are judges, prosecutors, and law enforcement officers who need to be brought to justice over this.  And I include the illegal Congressional January 6 Commission for the illegalities they perpetrated.  

While the focus right now is on the upcoming national election, Jarrett James Lash notes American's faith in local government is strong, and local government still works.  First, I think that's debatable, especially in each and every one of America's major cities, which are a disaster now, but he states something I think is worth repeating. 

"We would be better off investing more time and energy in school board and town council elections than fretting over who is on the presidential ticket."  

Well, to a large degree, I agree.  If you can capture the base of the political structure, eventually the entire structure changes.   

This whole thing about Trump at Arlington is badly backfiring on the Democrats, and it gets worse daily.  John McCain's son is outraged, outraged I tell you, claiming Trump, who was invited by the Gold Star families, was just there campaigning,  despite of the fact his dad did it.  Remarkable!  But the hits just keep right on coming, as it  turns out John McCain’s son may have violated military prohibitions against campaigning.  

Wow! Kinda like Captain Renault, I'm shocked, shocked I tell you to find corruption in the McCain family! So, if all that's being said is true, it looks like the apple didn't fall very far away from the tree. Most people seemed to forget John McCain was considered the most reprehensible of the Keating Five in the Keating Savings and Loan Scandal. More about McCain is covered here, and here's my whole John McCain file, and it's not a pretty story.  So, as for being shocked...well....actually.....I not really shocked at all.

America's universities are out of control, and need to be purged of their leadership, and then purged of all these protestors, and defunded, and laws passed to prohibit funding from foreign sources.   But there's a trend I'm seeing, which I think is going to be more pronounced as we approach November, and that's, if you’re Jewish and you vote for Democrats, you’re crazy.   

Who does Biden blame for Hamas murdering that American hostage?  Israel.  Since he can't blame covid any longer,  it must be the Jews, Christians, conservatives, Republicans, white supremacists, and Rumpelstiltskin.  Oh, wait, Rumpelstiltskin was a mythological character wasn't he?  So too is blaming others for the negative outcome of their stupid leftist policies mythological.  Blaming Jews for the vile murderous actions of Muslims, that's always been the fall back position for antisemites.    Sieg Heil!

The Pravda media just can't get it's act together.  CNN dumped Brian Stelter because CNN was going down the toilet, and it's getting worse daily as demonstrated by the fraudulent rigged interview with Kamala Harris and Tim Walz by Dana Bash.   So, what's their solution? They brought him back as their Chief Media Analyst.  What could possibly go wrong with brilliant leadership such as that. 

I'm getting the impression the assassination attempt on Trump has given him a new lease on faith.  He now feels, and correctly so, Our Country Is ‘Missing a Lot of Religion’; ‘No Guard Rails’ Without It.  Also,  he may be taking a new tact on going after the big time political criminals, like Hillary. He made a huge mistake by not putting Hillary in jail, if he gets a second chance, he needs to take it, and he's inclined’ to release Epstein client list if reelected. Well, that should be a no brainer, as I wouldn't be surprised if many of his most virulent attackers are on that list.  

Do I detect a pattern here?   Treason and spying in the midst of the Democrat hierarchy?

Another theme playing out is how well JD Vance is being accepted by Americans, on both sides of the aisle.  After at speech in Erie that went over so well he was asked where was his teleprompter.  He responded saying,  "Ma'am, I don't need a teleprompter. I've actually got thoughts in my head, unlike Kamala Harris." He also said, and this really is resonating:  "I'm here, and I've been given this incredible opportunity, and I'm going to try to make something of it, and the way to make something of it is to actually get out there and talk to people." It's believed this trip will be something talked about for weeks in Erie.  

Finally.  For those of us who've written about the green movement we know....they lie... a lot.  Since we've had so much experience with their lies, most of us start out with the attitude everything they say is wrong, and all we have to do is develop the intellectual argument to show it. Most of what they say are either lies of commission, or lies of omission, with just enough truth to fool everyone, especially the Pravda media.... and I don' think they're fooled at all.  They're part of the corruption.  But time and truth are on the same side.  Here's another lie that's known and one they keep repeating.  Truth, facts, history, and reality are anathema to green activists.  We really do need to get that.

Illegal Aliens, Gun Control, National Security, and Treason

>By Rich Kozlovich

Editor's Note:  I ran this on August 30, but so much more is happening and I've added some important additions, all of which I wish to highlight. RK

On August 29, 2024  Olivia Murray posted this article, Armed with heavy firepower, Venezuelan gang of illegals seizes control of entire apartment complex in Aurora, CO, containing a video showing these young thugs, here illegally, brandishing weapons doing whatever they pleased, and clearly having no fear about doing it.   And they're doing it in a state that has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation.  

If that's true, and it is, how did these illegal aliens get these weapons? 

One thing is clear, the argument by Second Amendment supporters that when guns are prohibited only criminals will have guns is blatantly true.  That has been obvious for so long it shouldn't have to be repeated, but the left still trumpets gun control, which for them ultimately means banning guns.  That is a foundational tenet of leftist ideology.   Why? 

Because the "self-appointed morally superior left  is behind the tyrannies of multiculturalism", and leftists hate America, and Americans!  

Overturning the Second Amendment puts honest citizens at the mercy of the state.  Then obedience follows, and soon there's tyranny with all the power being held by a smaller and smaller number of people in a very short time.  

People who can no longer be voted out of office, just like Maduro in Venezuela.  And none dare call it treason any longer!  The ‘party of freedom’ has an odd view of what freedom means, and the Pravda media supports them.

She goes on to ask:

Is Aurora, Colorado home to our first official “no-go” zone? ......The video was shot in the building where Cindy and Edward Romero lived until Wednesday. FOX31 caught up with them as they loaded up their stuff and moved out.  ‘It’s been a nightmare and I can’t wait to get out of here,’ former resident Cindy Romero said......The Romeros say the trouble started when a large number of migrants began moving in.

How did this happen?

[M]ore than $380 million worth of Shelter and Services Program (SSP) grants will go to local and state governments, as well as NGOs, ‘that are providing critical support such as food, shelter, clothing, acute medical care, and transportation’ to migrants ‘recently released from DHS custody and awaiting their immigration court proceedings.’

This spending comes after Biden-Harris funneled $780 million just last year, and just through two channels (SSP and the Emergency Food and Shelter Program). How much spending is going on elsewhere? (Hint: It’s in the hundreds of billions.) Remember what Representative Jodey Arrington revealed earlier this year? From a Budget Committee press release:

‘The greatest national security threat to the American people is posed by these open borders. The social cost has consistently been well in front of the American people. But I don’t think we’ve talked enough about the financial burden to taxpayers and the fiscal impact.

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) has done a great job. Studies suggest this [illegal migrant] cost is upwards of $400 billion, but their cost estimate is $150 billion. The lion’s share of that cost is borne by state and local governments. State and local governments can't borrow or print money like the federal government, so they have to balance their budgets by either absorbing this cost through raising taxes or they have to cut services to their citizens.’

It's bad enough these illegal aliens are here in the first place, but they're not only eating up our resources, they're turning the nation into mini criminal states within the states and the federal government is funding it.  

One commenter states, "we live in a bipolar world. Normal people want these thugs arrested and deported. Democrats want to make sure they’re registered to vote. It’s nuts."  Democrats Are Freaking Out Over Republicans' Efforts to Stop Illegal Aliens From Voting

All of which was entirely predictable, and we really need to get this.  The Constitution wasn't meant to be a suicide pact, and the founding fathers never dreamed there would be a political party dedicated to the destruction of the nation.    

Now we find out this is part of an international criminal gang that Venezuela's Maduro created.  This was in point of fact a military takeover of these apartments, so the question that needs to be asked and answered is where are the SWAT Teams, or the Colorado National Guard?  Apparently no one has called for them and the Mayor says he loves all these illegals.  I guess this is what "Tim Walz might just consider this “neighborly” behavior."

Update:  9/2/24: CO Mayor Asks for Eviction of Venezuelan Migrant Gang, Gov. Polis Dismisses Problem - Aurora, Colorado, officials are asking the courts to let them evict Venezuelan migrant gangs from apartment buildings, even as Democrat Gov. Jared Polis keeps dismissing video reports of gang takeovers.  Only two days ago, Polis and his spokespeople were telling Americans to ignore their lying eyes concerning video of armed migrant gangs taking over apartment buildings and forcing citizens to turn their rent money over to the gang.

Illegal Alien Gang Takeover of Apartment Buildings in Aurora Is Just a Small Taste of the Chaos to Be Unleashed Against Americans - Most Americans have no idea what’s coming when the invasion forces that have already penetrated and occupied America are given the “purge” activation order to exterminate and replace American citizens. The gang takeover of the apartment buildings in Aurora, Colorado is just a tiny taste of things to come. Note carefully that nobody in Colorado law enforcement is lifting a finger to stop the gang invasion takeover. That have given the gangs total legal immunity, just like Big Pharma and vaccines....

Will Colorado fall under the spell of ranked choice voting? - Ranked choice voting is a bald-faced scam, and that is putting it politely. .............In Colorado — aka California East in some circles — ranked choice voting is just another tactic to enshrine Democrat oligarchic rule.  Will Colorado voters take yet another blue pill without asking what’s in it?...........

This is why the Constitution has a Second Amendment providing for and allowing citizens to organize and defend their communities as militias, but that requires a massive change in leadership at every level, otherwise it's called insurrection.  

This out of control criminal activity is rampant throughout the nation, in California illegals are setting wildfires out in San Diego's back country.   
 
 They set up campfires wherever they want. They set wildfires to attract border agents to pick them up and transport them to their destinations of choice. They burn down border vehicles because they don't like the Border Patrol. It's shocking what they will do whenever they want something, given the danger of the fire risk and just how big and catastrophic these fires can get once they get out of control. Sound like the kind of people who might rape and murder, too, once they go through catch-and-release?

And nobody in the Biden administration, let alone his border czar, are doing a thing about the border, not on the sea-side, where illegals ride in through the surf and run through the beachgoers' picnics and beach ball parties, as we have seen, and not on the badlands side where illegals set wildfires intentionally and apparently all of them get away with it.

In San Diego's back county, illegals attempt to hijack two school buses loaded with children - ......highlights just how dangerous Joe Biden's open borders are, what with wildfires started, attempted bus hijackings, beach invasions, rapes, robberies, kidnappings and murders, apartment takeovers (described today by AT Deputy Editor Olivia Murray here) and nobody held accountable for it......Nothing is being done, nothing at all, other than border czar Kamala Harris putting out ads claiming to be "tough" on the border. She actually in charge, though, and now this bottom has dropped out -- school kids unable to go to school by her vaunted yellow school buses because illegals come first.  Any comment from her on this outrageous development? Any media curiosity? Of course not

A nation's leaders are supposed to be the shepherds protecting the flock from the wolves.  These monsters are not only turning the wolves loose on the flock, they're protecting them, in effect the Democrat party is in reality no longer a political party, it's a criminal organization.  Since Kamala and the criminal organization she wants to be the head of is responsible for all this, why would we think they're going to fix it in the future?  

If this isn't treason, what is it?

Colorado, as we knew you, goodbye

November 11, 2022 By C.S. Boddie

The 2022 midterm election results for Colorado say that the state as it was is no more.  Colorado went even bluer this election, and it will not be coming back.

"The idea that somehow Colorado is still purplish or has a red streak to it, no, I don't see it at all," said  Jon Caldara of the Independence Institute on IITV's Devil's Advocate show.  "All of that was absolutely mind-boggling, but what really got me was in the state Legislature."

Caldara interviewed Marianne Goodland, Colorado legislative reporter for Colorado Politics.  She said, "This is going to be a far more progressive Legislature than we've seen in some time."

Looking at the election overall, Caldara said that nobody saw this coming, that redistricting was thought only to help Republicans.  Senate seats were thought to be more competitive for Republicans because of redistricting, but that turned out not to be the case.........To Read More....
