Van Jones, Barack Obama's Green Czar, was part of the organizing committee for a leftist effort to undermine the United States in the war on terror just months after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
Jones signed a statement by the organizing committee in early January 2002 accusing the United States of having "mercilessly bombed Afghanistan" in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks by al Qaeda, which at the time was being protected by Afghanistan's Taliban-led government.
The statement, found on Rense.com, is part of an appeal for funds to start a bi-weekly newspaper dedicated to undermining the United States in the war on terror and to push "social justice" and the green movement.

WAR TIMES (working title) A New, Biweekly, Tabloid Newspaper Opposing the "War on Terrorism"
The terrorist attacks of September 11 marked the beginning of a new and frightening period in our history. Thousands of people died that day, and their families along with the country as a whole are still struggling to recover. But President Bush's response of "permanent war against terrorism at home and abroad" has further endangered the lives and liberties of millions of people everywhere.
The world's most powerful nation has mercilessly bombed Afghanistan and is installing a neo-colonial government of its own choosing, although that country has never attacked the U.S. Millions of Afghans have been displaced and face starvation this winter. The administration has also green-lighted massive Israeli assaults on Palestine, and it threatens to attack Iraq, Lebanon, Somalia, and other countries. The agenda seems clear: to remake the world in the rightwing image with little regard for human consequences.
SNIP
Peace, safety, and justice at home are more than ever linked to peace and justice abroad. To end the "permanent war," we need to build a mass movement against U.S. interventions abroad and link to it the struggles for social justice. The security and livelihood of people across the globe depend on success in this fight.
SNIP
Content: The tabloid will present a view of the world that makes opposition to Bush's program urgent, vivid, and logical. To do so, it will be designed with an artistic sense, using photos, cartoons, and other graphic elements throughout. Overall, it must be popular, attractive, have flair, and utilize humor and poetry as well as information and analysis. It will be bilingual at least in part, beginning with Spanish.
The tabloid is intended to track the development of the war at home and abroad, spotlighting the dire consequences of Bush's program for human beings and the earth. It will provide backgrounders, facts, and clear, readable analysis. It will report on the work of the developing peace and justice movement as well as anti-racist struggles, thus providing an important representation of the possibility, vitality, and importance of opposition. Articles will be based on reliable and widely accepted information sources, both domestic and international.

Every FR viewer should become familiar with Adam Gold and his relationship to Van Jones. They both are long-time Marxists and were involved with STORM the Bay Area Marxist-dominated organization that sponsored a Revolutionary Youth Movement (hello Young Pioneers). Gold was then head of the Soul School of Unity and Liberation. Just Google STORM and Adam Gold and have your eyes opened.
At what point does this stuff turn into treason, ferpetesake?
So what makes him any different than elected dimrats? He was just saying the same thing that reid, turbin and their media was saying.
More Van Jones connections with moonbat Cynthia McKinney(who believes George Bush executed 5000 prisoners in NO after Katrina...lol):

Just for old times sake..the video of Cynthia Mckinney spouting her conspiracy theory here:

Van Jones is deep into the same beliefs as Cynthia McKinney.
“”””why wasn’t an FBI probe done on these people?”””””
No need. Zer0 can constitutionally appoint whoever he wants for these jobs. He has known Jones for years and obviously holds him in high regard.
My guess is that Zer0 already knew he would appoint Jones to something before he was ever elected. I think they had a little fist bump “hook me up with a job, homie”....

4:50 Van Jones: “In fact, what our fear is that those people who are already job-trained job-ready will just jump from existing jobs into green jobs and leave those people that most need new jobs ... ah, out.”

“Van Jones Led Effort to Undermine War on Al Qaeda Months After 9/11”
Dear Jesus,
Please let Obama continue to employ these extremists right up to the next POTUS election. Thank you.
Suggested question for Jake Tapper at the next WH presser: Is Van Jones representative of the intellectual caliber & ideological inclination of appointees we can expect to see serving on Obama's end-of-life 'counseling' panels?
bump
Are we beginning to see a pattern of hatred of America?
Rev Wright, Bill Ares, Van Jones, even Ms Obama.....all seem to have a hatred of America.
Must be just me, and my paranoia......
I’ve been following Tapper on twitter too.
Yes. Probably is just your paranoia. There’s no way someone that hated America would run for president and actually be elected.
The little speech O gave, when he was debating McCain ,about how he should be judged by the people he surrounds himself with needs to be played next to a clip of Jones screaming his anti-American gibberish. Then roll all the nutcakes, Ayers, Rev. Wright and some of these czars, right along with Jones. People need to be awakened from their comas.
Do you really expect the FBI to have any ability to do their job properly with Obama as the defacto head cop in this country??? The FBI and CIA have been effectively defanged. We all need to prepare for the next wave of attacks that are coming, and which will get through now that nobody is minding the store.
Another reason to get out of Iraq and Afghanistan. It is pointless at this point when Islamists and their sympathizers run the U.S. Govt now.
You are kidding right? An Islamo-marxist runs the country now including the FBI.
He is probably an illegal alien who was born in Kenya. The laws we lived under a year agao are meaningless now.
My take on Obama and Jones is this.
Sure, Obama knows about Jones radicalism, and is comfortable with it. In fact, Obama may be using Jones as a big, fat middle finger to the right. In the McCarthy hearings in 1950’s, witnesses were asked “are you now, or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?” Now, in 2009, Obama knowingly appoints a Communist to a high level White House position, and laughs: “What are you gonna do about it?” Which is a good question.
If Van Jones survives this, the qualifications bar for White House appointees will have forever been lowered. Even if he doesn’t survive, it’s STILL been lowered just by the act of appointment. That’s a big deal.
We know things are bad for Obama when news stories are being sourced from Rense.com.
