AARON KLEIN: GREEN CZAR TIED TO AYERS' GROUP CO-FOUNDER

While Van Jones, Obama's Green Jobs Czar, and Jeff Jones are not related, there is new irony relative to both sharing the same last name. Like Barack Obama and Bill Ayers, Van and Jeff served on a Board together as well. That group is Apollo Alliance, which is a conglomerate of leaders who claim to be creating an array of green jobs for people. Van recently departed from Apollo according to Klein.

Ayers started Weather Underground with Jeff Jones in 1969 after breaking away from the Students for Democratic Society (SDS). So what do we know about Jeff? Klein tells us that:

Jeff Jones founded the Weathermen with terrorists Bill Ayers and Mark Rudd when the three signed an infamous statement calling for a revolution against the American government inside and outside the country to fight and defeat what the group called U.S. imperialism. President Obama came under fire for his longtime, extensive association with Ayers.

When you begin to look into Van's past, you begin to see things that he has in common with folks like Bill Ayers and Jeff Jones. Klein reports:

Jones, formerly a self-described "rowdy black nationalist," boasted in a 2005 interview with the left-leaning East Bay Express that his environmental activism was a means to fight for racial and class "justice."

Jones was president and founder of Green For All, a nonprofit organization that advocates for building a so-called inclusive green economy.

Enviornmental activism as a means to fight for justice? What exactly does that mean?

I personally find some striking similarities between Bill Ayers and Van Jones in that the former said at a recent book signing that he thinks we "should abolish all prisons" while dedicating said book to all of the millions of prisoners. A group Van founded almost takes on added significance when you factor in that view:

He was a founder and leader of the communist revolutionary organization Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement, or STORM. The organization had its roots in a grouping of black people organizing to protest the first Gulf War. STORM was formally founded in 1994, becoming one of the most influential and active radical groups in the San Francisco Bay area.

STORM worked with known communist leaders. It led the charge in black protests against various issues, including a local attempt to pass Proposition 21, a ballot initiative that sought to increase the penalties for violent crimes and require more juvenile offenders to be tried as adults.

The leftist blog Machete 48 identifies STORM's influences as "third-worldist Marxism (and an often vulgar Maoism)."

Vulgar Maoism? Gee, what a coincidence when you consider that Obama and Ayers shared a business address with a Chinese Maoist named MIKE KLONSKY in the 1990's.

NAKED EMPEROR NEWS posted the audio of a Bill Ayers interview from 2002 in which he said he still considers himself a marxist and an anarchist. Compare that with this quote Klein attributes to Van Jones:

"I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th," he said. "By August, I was a communist."

"I met all these young radical people of color – I mean really radical: communists and anarchists. And it was, like, 'This is what I need to be a part of.' I spent the next 10 years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary."

Is it really any wonder that Van, Jeff, Bill, and Barack run in the same circles? What makes this reality so dire is that one of them is the President of the United States.
