| | + | The [[Native American]] (Indian) groups indigenous to Colorado were the [[Anasazi]] and Utes who lived in the mountainous regions, and several tribes who lived in the flatlands and near the rivers at various times including the [[Cheyenne]], Arapaho, Kiowa, Comanche, Pawnee and [[Sioux]].<ref>http://www.colorado.gov/dpa/doit/archives/history/histfaqs.htm</ref> |

| | + | The United States acquired part of what is now Colorado in 1803 through the [[Louisiana Purchase]]. In 1848 [[Mexico]] ceded claims to the rest of it. There were no European settlers or forts. Before gaining statehood, Colorado was part of the [[Nebraska]], [[Utah]], [[Kansas]], and [[New Mexico]] Territories, and in 1861 Congress created the Territory of Colorado. The state now encompasses 104,247 square miles. |

Dolloff posted pictures of himself with [[Occupy Wall Street]] on his [[Facebook]] page. Dolloff had a very extensive past speaking out against [[corporation]]s and the [[police]]. Dolloff is a registered [[Democrat]]. His love for [[Bernie Sanders]] runs deep, deep enough to have a [[YouTube]] playlist dedicated to Sanders. Posts from Dolloff's [[Facebook]] page show signs of early [[radical]]ization, [[NeverTrump|anti-Trump]] and [[War on Cops|anti-cop]] rhetoric. Dolloff also openly supports [[Black Lives Matter]] communist organization. Dolloff also has a Space Invaders [[tattoo]], a common logo used among [[ANTIFA]].<ref>https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1315221334478131205.html</ref> |

| | + | A professional agitator, named Jeremiah Elliott, baited and assaulted multiple peaceful demonstrators while his ''[[Denver Post]]'' camera wing lady, Helen Richards, was busy capturing the fictitious ‘right wing extremists’ in action. During Rlliots multiple verbal assaults on peaceful demonstrators, Richards was always right next to him capturing the action. |
| | + | |
| | + | This agitprop campaign was lead by Helen Richards and Zak Newman, a Denver NBC affiliate 9News producer, and it was clearly aimed at generating [[progressive]] [[propaganda]] footage. Unfortunately, just as in any [[violent]] [[revolution]]ary activity, the business of manufacturing violent news is riddled with casualties. This event was no exception. Richards’ and Newman’s little Pulitzer prize initiative ended abruptly when Matthew Dolloff, another Antifa-BLM-Green activist and Zak Newman’s paid muscle, murdered Lee Keltner in cold blood, all while Richards was capturing the murder on her cameras and satiating her lust for [[conservative]] blood. |
