On Saturday, Powerline reported that in addition to former Green Jobs Czar Van Jones being a Truther, he also seemed to believe that America deserved to be hit. They linked to a story published early in the morning of September 13th, 2001 about a rally held on September 12th, 2001 in Oakland.
That would be the same Oakland where Van Jones is from.
Interestingly, Jones was a SPEAKER at that event one day after the worst attack by a foreign enemy on American soil.
A recurring theme of the speakers was the brutal violence committed by or supported by the United States government on a daily basis. "The bombs the government drops in Iraq are the bombs that blew up in New York City," said Van Jones, director of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, who also warned against forthcoming violence by the Bush Administration. "The US cannot bomb its way out of this one. Safety at home requires justice abroad."
To put this into perspective, we have a man who shares similar views to Jeremiah Wright when it comes to 9/11. That man was hired by the Obama administration while Jeremiah Wright was Obama's pastor for 20 years. Check out the last sentence of the first paragraph from a press release by the ELLA BAKER CENTER, a group Jones founded and directed. Also, take note of who signed the press release - a representative from another Van Jones group, STORM - Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement.
Check out the last sentence in the first paragraph of the far left website that reported on the rally.
Organizing against a growing climate of racism, nationalism and anti-Arab bigotry was a focus of the rally.
On September 11, 2001 the United States was attacked by 19 Islamists and 3000 people were killed. On September 12th, Van Jones was concerned about racism and anti-Arab bigotry.
It would appear that Obama's Green Jobs Czar, Van Jones, is either not proud of his work from 2004 or has something to hide. Aaron Klein at WND is reporting that a group that Jones led in the 1990's (STORM), published a manifesto in 2004 that has since been scrubbed from the internet.
As Klein Points out, the Manifesto most certainly leans toward hardline communist beliefs:
"We agreed with Lenin's analysis of the state and the party," reads the manifesto. "And we found inspiration in the revolutionary strategies developed by Third World revolutionaries like Mao Tse-tung and Amilcar Cabral."
It has been confirmed that Jones named his son after Cabral as well. I also found it extremely interesting that in light of this document being scrubbed, Cabral is quoted on the "scrubbed" document's 3rd page as saying:
Hide nothing from the masses of the people. Tell no lies. Expose lies wherever they are told. Mask no difficulties, mistakes, failures. Claim no easy victories.
Hmmmm. So how does that square with STORM'S Communist Manifesto being pulled from the internet?
Quintessential communism. Ends justify means. Lies and deceit. When those lies are exposed, communists don't try to defend them. They deny them, hide them, or ridicule their accusers much the same way Saul Alinsky advocated in Rules for Radicals #5, which says:
Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.
On page 15 of STORM'S manifesto discusses its Political Education Committee 411, which was formed in 1998. Here are some excerpts from that portion of the document:
411 was important in collectivizing STORM's commitment to Marxist politics.
We began with Marxist "basics," laying a foundation on which to build an understanding of Third World communism.
Later sessions covered more "contemporary" issues, including Marxist feminism, transgender liberation, and the Palestinian liberation struggle.
There's plenty more 'eye-popping' prose in this authorless document. Speaking of this manifesto being authorless, check out the screen shot of its, "Who Wrote This Document" explanation on page 3. Note how they used three parapraphs to identify NO INDIVIDUAL. Here's a link to the ARCHIVED COPY provided by Klein.
As usual, Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy In Media is thorough and incisive. His latest effort contributes to digging deeper into who Obama's Green Czar (Van Jones) is, who hired him and what his background is. Kincaid is calling for broader support of Glenn Beck as the latter is the only one with such a sizeable audience willing to address these very troubling realities.
In short, the answer is that Van isn't his real name, his background is very radical, and stonewalling from the White House is preventing us from knowing who hired him.
Got that? We do have a quote from Van Jones that was published in 2005 in which he talked about his transformation after getting arrested. Perhaps it sheds light on his radical background:
"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 ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary...I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th..By August, I was a communist."
Radicals, communists, and anarchists. Sounds a bit like Bill Ayers' cup of tea.
Kincaid has more on that:
Jones shows up on a list of "veteran activists" attending a conference in the summer of 1998 at the University of Illinois at Chicago, the same place where Bill Ayers is now a professor. The purpose was to plot the "Black Liberation Agenda for the 21st Century" under the auspices of the Black Radical Congress. Angela Davis participated and the Communist Party USA helped organize the event.
That would be the same Communist Party USA that Obama mentor Frank Marshall Davis belonged to. Davis also lived in Chicago until he moved to Hawaii in 1948 to escape FBI heat. That is where he met Obama in 1971. Ironically and coincidentally (I'm sure), Obama then ended up in Chicago, from where Davis came.
Another interesting string of facts about Van Jones:
One of Jones' sons is named Cabral, in honor of Amilcar Cabral, the African Marxist who spoke to Castro's Tricontinental Congress in 1966 and concluded with these words: "Our wish is that every national liberation movement represented here may be able to repeat in its own country, arms in hand, in unison with its people, the already legendary cry of Cuba: Patria O Muerte, Venceremos! Death to the Forces of Imperialism! Free, Prosperous and Happy Country for Each of our Peoples! Venceremos!"
Cuba? That would be the same Cuba that worked very closely with Bill Ayers and Weather Underground via the Venceremos Brigade.
A group headed by Van Jones called STORM (Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement) had objectives that mirrored those of Weather Undergound. As if this wasn't enough, the co-founder of Weather Underground with Bill Ayers was a man named Jeff Jones, who runs the New York office the group Apollo Alliance, a group that Van Jones only recently left. AARON KLEIN has more on this relationship.
Another eery reality is the similarity between the logos of both Weather Underground and Storm (below).
Lastly, for some reason, I think it fitting to include the two minute video clip from 1982 that surfaced before the 2008 election but got no mention from the Mainstream Media. Larry Grathwohl, the only man to successfully infiltrate the Weather Underground for the FBI had some bone-chilling things to say about their intentions.
Grathwhohl testified under oath that Weather Underground intend to enlist the help of radical elements from Cuba to help overthrow the American government, which is interesting in light of why Van Jones gave his son the name he did. In fact, listen as Grathwohl explains how the Weather Underground intended to squash a counter-revolution on the part of America as it was being overthrown. Then take note of what WU wanted to do with capitalists who couldn't be re-educated.
Interestingly, Jones was a SPEAKER at that event one day after the worst attack by a foreign enemy on American soil.
