"Jones was arrested during the L.A. riots and spent a short time in jail. "I met all these young radical people of color," he recalls, '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.'..."

By the late 1990s, Jones was a committed Marxist-Leninist-Maoist who viewed police officers as the arch-enemies of black people, and who loathed capitalism for allegedly exploiting nonwhite minorities worldwide. He became a leading member of Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM), a now-defunct Bay Area Marxist-Maoist collective that was staffed by members of various local nonprofits, a number of whom had ties to the Ella Baker Center.

In the early 2000s, Jones and STORM were active in the anti-Iraq War demonstrations organized by International ANSWER, a front group for the Marxist-Leninist Workers World Party. STORM also had ties to the South African Communist Party and it revered Amilcar Cabral, the late Marxist revolutionary leader (of Guinea-Bissau and the Cape Verde Islands) who lauded Lenin as "the greatest champion of the national liberation of the peoples." (In 2006 Van Jones would name his own newborn son "Cabral" -- in Amilcar Cabral's honor.)"

From David Horowitz's FrontpageMag.com /DiscoverTheNetworks.org:

"Throughout its history, one of RCP's [Revolutionary Communist Party] principal objectives has been to foment civil unrest in the United States. The most notable example of such efforts occurred on April 29, 1992, when RCP members looted and trashed the downtown and government districts of Los Angeles, triggering the infamous Rodney King riots. During the days immediately preceding the violence, RCP -- which maintained close ties to the L.A. gangs known as the Crips and the Bloods -- had circulated throughout South Central Los Angeles a leaflet featuring a statement by RCP National Spokesman Carl Dix, titled 'It's Right To Rebel' -- a quote popularized by Mao Zedong.

Encouraged by Dix, RCP activists helped lead the riots that would leave 58 people dead, more than 2,300 people injured, some 5,300 buildings burned, and $1 billion in property damaged or destroyed. On the ten-year anniversary of the rioting, RCP member Joseph Veale fondly recalled the violence as 'the most beautiful, the most heroic civil action in the history of the United States.'"

Oh, there’s probably going to be a revolution, but it won’t be what they expect...

Another Appointment, another SCUMBucket

Have to admit it

Fuhrer OBAMA is CONSISTENT!!!

[Steve Van Doorn]

nice find

[Man50D]

This is news?

[cripplecreek]

Gotta love the Obama brigades. Too stupid to keep their mouths shut.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

We can give him all the revolution he can handle and then some!

[FlyingEagle]

Valerie is a nationalist socialist marxist, and she is the one who brought Van Jones to Washington, and she is the one that got Soros to fund him at the Center for American Progress when he got booted from Czardom. Jones should be in jail for sedition and treason, rather than advising America on “green jobs” whatever that is.

[boycott]

Note that he has to bring comments about race into the discussion? Racism is wrong. Therefore you cannot argue with him.

I am so sick of everything being about race with these idiots. I was born white and they can get the freak over it. They are all so full of hate for whitey.

[TigersEye]

"Jones was arrested during the L.A. riots and spent a short time in jail.

It should be kept in mind while repeating this that he wasn't arrested in L.A. in the riots. He was arrested in San Francisco in some other kind of protest.

[Jack Hydrazine]

When you think of Van Jones just think watermelon. Am I being racist? Nope.

He’s green on the outside and Red on the inside!

VAN JONES SHOCK ADMISSION [in his own words]: Goal is Complete Revolution, FEATURED ON GLENN BECK

Thanks, FRiend! Found this link on your terrific "TheObamaFile" website. Anything you'd like to add to this thread would be appreciated.

"Last week, WND reported one day after the 9/11 attacks, Jones led a vigil that expressed solidarity with Arab and Muslim Americans as well as what he called the victims of "U.S. imperialism" around the world.

Jones was the leader and founder of a radical group, the communist revolutionary organization Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement, or STORM. That group, together with Jones' Elle Baker Center for Human Rights, led a vigil Sept. 12, 2001, at Snow Park in Oakland, Calif.

STORM's official manifesto, titled, "Reclaiming Revolution," surfaced on the Internet." http://www.leftspot.com/blog/files/docs/STORMSummation.pdf

For the record, here is an, at least, partial text of the YouTube video/audio at the top. Bold-type highlighting is mine, as is a few of the paragraph separations:

VAN JONES (Obama's former 'Green Jobs Czar'):
“Right after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat if the civil rights leaders had jumped out and said OK now we want reparations for Slavery, we want redistribution of all the wealth, and we want to legalize mixed marriages. If we’d come out with a maximum program the very next day, they’d been laughed at. Instead they came out with a very minimum. “We just want to integrate these busses…”

But, inside that minimum demand was a very radical kernel that eventually meant that from 1964 to 1968 complete revolution was on the table for this country.

And, I think that this green movement has to pursue those same steps and stages.

Right now we say we want to move from suicidal gray capitalism to something eco-capitalism where at least we’re not fast-tracking the destruction of the whole planet. Will that be enough? No, it won’t be enough. We want to go beyond the systems of exploitation and oppression all together. But, that’s a process and I think that’s what’s great about the movement that is beginning to emerge is that the CRISIS is so severe in terms of joblessness, violence and now ecological threats that people are willing to be both pragmatic and visionary.

So the green economy will start off as a small subset and we are going to push it and push it and push it until it becomes the engine for transforming the whole society.

I’m surprised You Tube didn’t delete that video. I saved it months ago.

Here's the original source for the Van Jones quote about the time he spent in jail following the Rodney King/LA riots. It was in a 2005 interview he did with East Bay Express. They of course (what else?) claim he "renounced his rowdy Black Nationalist ways" since then: (link included below)

But in jail, he said, "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.'" Although he already had a plane ticket, he decided to stay in San Francisco. "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." In the months that followed, he let go of any lingering thoughts that he might fit in with the status quo. "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."

Yeah, he "renounced his Black Nationalist rowdy ways", but here he is in Aug 2009 talking about a Communist revolution in America! (YouTube clip)

YouTube: "Valerie Jarrett, Senior Advisor to President Obama, speaks [lovingly] about Green Job Czar, Van Jones, at the Netroots Convention on August 12, 2009. Then Van Jones speaks about [a COMMUNIST] transforming [of] the whole society."

Can you imagine the outrage from the Left if GWB had made David Duke a “Civil Rights Czar?”

We should take aim at President ZERO with the same ruthless rage over this filthy piece of racist communist scum.
