I think it was WorldNetDaily that 1st reported what we now know about this Marxist. Too bad no one heard much about it until it exploded over the airwaves, but give Glenn Beck (AND WorldNetDaily) credit.

Methinks this fool hoisted his own petard, and brought his career crashing down!

Jones had planned to move to Washington, DC, and had already landed a job and an apartment there:

1) What kind of JOB??
2) Who financed the move??
3) Why do communists ALWAYS live in luxury while claiming to represent the poor and oppressed??
4) If the US is so EVIL, what is stopping Jones from Moving to Utopian Cuba??
5) Is Jones on MEDS??

Yes, but we have removed him from direct budgetary oversight authority/security clearance, etc. in our Federal Government, so that is a small victory. Obama has also been weakened, so that is good, too.

In 2002 in NYS the Green party ran Stanley Aronowitz for governor. He was interviewed on the local NPR station, WBAI. The interviewer asked him about his having changed parties from the CPUSA to the Green Party.

Aronowitz answered, and I quote, "Remember, Green today, Red tomorrow"

That's all I ever need to know about the Greens.

We have friends, whose older daughter is a trouble shooter/problem solver for a chain of nursing homes.

Her mother our friend was telling about the bad situation she is now.

I wrote SEIU Thugs on a slip of paper and gave it to our friend to ask her daughters if these were the trouble makers.

The daughter’s reply was yes, but she didn’t want to discuss it.

yes, you are correct. This has been reported by Glenn Beck and Fox has run some of it too.

It tells me Ogabe ought to resign, right now. This news needs to get out everywhere. These are some of the people surfacing that Zero had for friend in those years that he wants to keep secret. Problem is, these people have problems that he can’t keep secret.

I would add to your statement that anyone attached to the White House that has ties to the communist party has to go. People like this do not act to the best interest of the country.

Reginald Denny ~ Was Van Jones involved in stirring up the L.A. Four to beat Reginald Denny?

I get the distinct feeling that Van Jones jumped ship JUST BEFORE someone came up with some films of what he was really doing at the L.A. Riots and it wasn't going to be pretty.

I could tell you what this tells us about Obambi but I'll refer everyone to the words of one of the philosophers that was so near and dear to Jefferson's heart when he was writing OUR Declaration of Independence.....
“The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts.” ~John Locke
Remember folks...Obambi NEVER hide is true colors...everything was out there for EVERYONE to see...what is unfortunate is that many Americans either didn't care or decided to turn a blind eye and for that we now have the government that we deserve!

“SEIU.org in that little clip too! I want to see a flow chart or tree of connections of all these groups to this administration...”

DITTO that!

____________________________________________________________

The SEIU has it own dictatorship. According to this article from January I came across, the UHW says the SEIU President, Andy Stern has been centralizing power in D.C. and is using “authoritarian tactics suppressing democracy” in treatment of other union members. Trouble within their own ranks with the way SEIU conducts itself.

“Throw Them Out” - UHW-SEIU calls for massive resistance by members to Stern dictatorship

by: JimmyHiggins
Fri Jan 23, 2009 at 09:13

SEIU President Andy Stern has received authority from his international executive board of toadies and flunkies to impose a trusteeship on the 150,000 members United Healthcare Workers West (UHW). This is a punitive trusteeship imposed to silence dissent from Stern’s policies of centralizing power in Washington DC and doing secret backroom deals with corporate CEOs against the interests of members. Stern is sending hundreds of union-busting scabs to California (selected SEIU international union staffers) to attack and destroy UHW, despite months of massive rank and file protests by union members.
UHW is calling for massive resistance in the workplaces to Stern’s scabs.

All real trade unionists everywhere should solidarize with UHW and defend the principle of union democracy.

Stern’s crackdown comes at a horrible time - by identifying union leadership with authoritarian tactics suppressing democracy, it makes it much harder for other unions to win much needed labor law reforms in Congress. Progressives should protest to SEIU and tell them “Respect the Right of Dissent - Hands Off UHW!”

Here’s a little ditty on SEIU President Stern that you might find interesting:

“Union President Stern the Hand in Obama’s Puppet?”

Posted on June 30, 2009 by WTH .

The L.A. Times had a very interesting piece last week on the unusually close relationship between Service Employees International Union President Andy Stern and President Obama. The story revealed how Stern “enjoys unusual access to the White House,” and how often Stern is invited to attend meetings the administration holds on policy even as other union heads are left out of the loop.

The piece does cast some doubt on just how much clout Stern might have with Obama as several of the initiatives he has pushed hard for have yet to come to fruition — but it should also be remembered that this administration is only 6 months old. There is plenty of time, here.

Though it does not develop the theme, here is where the Times piece shows the danger that Andy Stern’s close connection with Obama presents to the country and its various governments, federal and state both.

The SEIU’s access to the White House also has left California officials unsettled. Earlier this year, the Obama administration invited the SEIU to take part in a conference call centering on a dispute over pay cuts to home healthcare workers represented by the union. State officials said the union’s involvement in a government-to-government conference seemed inappropriate.

Inappropriate? You bet. But Obama indulged his buddy Stern anyway.

So, where is the danger? Andy Stern’s SEIU is the biggest union in the country that represents government workers of all sorts. If Stern can translate his close relationship to the administration into cajoling and strongarming more and more government workers into his union, Stern will (and already has to a great extent) become an unelected, fourth branch of government in every state of the union as well as Congress.

Before any government budget is decided, before any responsible cut in spending is considered, government officials all across the land have to go to Andy Stern, hat in hand, to ask him if they are allowed to cut costs. This is a check on government power that the voters have absolutely no say whatever in affecting. This is a power that is illegitimately in the hands of a self-interested union thug that could not care less what “good government” means nor what is best for the tax payers. In fact, his interest is to screw the tax payers as much as possible, yet he is being handed almost total veto power on state and federal budgetary concerns. The closer to Obama he gets, the more his clout grows and the more powerful he becomes, legitimate or not.

This man is a danger to the whole country.

Interesting, a day before the election, Stern was in Chicago meeting with Blago:

“Blagojevich Calendar Confirms Suspicions”
Thursday, January 8th, 2009

By John O’Connor, Associated Press

It takes two to tango and Obama’s people should held accountable
Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s official calendar shows he met with a top union official in his Chicago office the day before Barack Obama was elected president—just as federal prosecutors say the governor was scheming to trade Obama’s Senate seat, possibly for a cushy union job.

The meeting with Andy Stern, president of the Service Employees International Union, also was attended by Tom Balanoff, president of the Illinois chapter of the union, which has been Blagojevich’s largest campaign contributor.

__________________________________________________________

And now he’s using his underhanded tactics on all of America for the benefit of Obama!

Like your tag line. I had that as a sign on my truck. Along with, “He’s not MY president.” That one stays up all the time. The other one I change every so often. The Bible verse has been replaced by my tag line.

You can give anyone you want credit. The actual credit goes to Van Jones himself. Michael Savage reported about him months ago, WND covered Jones, Gateway Pundit covered him.

Had Jones not gone after Beck, each of those would have been just as ignored. Jones put Beck in the spotlight. Beck brought Jones out like a cockroach to the light.

Jones has no one to blame but himself.
