A Bit of Chicago History regarding President Barack Obama.

Valerie Jarrett is widely promoted as President Barack Obama’s “Ultimate Insider” according to the New York Times, and “barack’s rock”, according to Vogue Magazine. She currently serves as our President’s closest White House advisor, just as Karen Hughes assisted President George W. Bush. She was Deputy Chief of Staff for Mayor Richard Daley, during which time (1991) she hired Michelle Robinson, then engaged to Barack Obama, away from a private law firm. Valerie’s mother, Barbara Bowman, started the Erikson Institute (www.erikson.edu) in 1966, a liberal “progressive” educational organization based in Chicago, IL. Valerie’s father, Vernon Jarrett, began his journalism career at the Chicago Defender during the 1940s and later worked for the Associated Negro Press. ConEdison CEO, Thomas Ayers, served on the Board of Directors of the Erikson Institute with Valerie Jarrett’s mother. Thomas Ayers’ son is William Ayers, who co-founded the 1960’s terrorist group, The Weather Underground. Valerie Jarrett served on a Corporate Board with Bernadine Dorhn, William Ayer’s wife and fellow Weather Underground terrorist. Both William Ayers and Bernadine Dorhn declared war against the United States and were on the FBI’s Top 10 Most Wanted List in the decade of the 1970’s for bombings at the U.S. Capitol, among other felonies. Dorhn was a principal signatory on the group's "Declaration of a State of War" in 1970 that formally declared "war" on the U.S. Government, and completed the group's transformation from political advocacy to violent action. Dorhn also co-wrote and published the subversive manifesto Prairie Fire in 1974, and participated in the covertly filmed Underground in 1976.

We know, as a matter of historical fact, that Valerie Jarrett and her family, William Ayers and his family, Bernadine Dorhn and Barack Obama have been very close friends for at least two generations. We know for a fact that Barack Obama and William Ayers were much, much closer than “just neighbors,” as Barack defensively described his relationship when asked about this relationship during one of the 2008 Presidential Debates with John McCain. In short, Barack lied to the entire country about the depth of his relationship with Ayers & Dorhn. Why? The implications for our nation are profound, to say the least.

Valerie Jarrett advises Obama regarding the appointment of every Czar appointment and she wields complete veto power over and Obama Czar appointment. Why was President Barack Obama’s closest friend and senior White House adviser, Valerie Jarrett, so happy to recruit Bay Area communist Van Jones to the White House in 2009? Watch Valerie Jarrett introduce Van Jones with great pride.

Can we have one main stream journalist at CNN, ABC, CBS, PBS or MSNBC ask the President of the United States why he lied to us about his relationship with William Ayers? Can we also ask President Obama if both he and Valerie Jarrett hold views similar to Van Jones regarding white polluters, white mass murderers, wealth redistribution for American Indians, and the furtherance of a Marxist Revolution to completely change America?

excerpts from Glenn’s inteview.....

BAKER: In the Forties when he was writing for the Chicago Defender and he was working with causes that, you know, clearly were if not dominated by active communists, very communist related causes. In fact, he served on committees to help the packing workers. And as we were looking at this and looking at saying, you know, he’s writing at the Defender, he’s working on this committee. Then we noticed another name there.

GLENN: Oh, boy.

BAKER: And this is where things really started to come together.

GLENN: Oh, boy.

BAKER: Because when you realize that also writing at the Defender, also serving on the committee for the packing workers, in fact on the same subcommittee, the publicity committee was chaired by Vernon Jarrett and one of the members was a guy named Frank Marshall Davis.

PAT: Not mentor Frank.

BAKER: Mentor Frank, yeah, exactly.

GLENN: Wait a minute. I thought he was in the Hawaii.

BAKER: Back when he was in Chicago, he was very active. He’s a poet, a writer, a writer of erotic fiction, just a really varied guy.

GLENN: Yeah. Communist, too.

BAKER: Yeah, self admitted pedophile, a group sex fan, a lot of things.

GLENN: Self admitted pedophile?

BAKER: Yeah. And

GLENN: Self admit

PAT: He admitted that?

BAKER: He did. He wrote a book about it and said that the stories were fictionalized but were all based on real encounters that he had.

PAT: Yikes.

BAKER: So now he’s off in Hawaii and who shows up but the very young Barack Obama.

GLENN: Hold on just a second. Is it true that Barack Obama’s mom was also taken by her grandparents to the Seattle area to go to a school, I believe it was in Bellevue that is, if I’m not mistaken, was known as the Little Red Schoolhouse.

BAKER: Right.

GLENN: In during the McCarthy era, that they moved to the Seattle area to put her into a radicalized communist school. Is that true?

BAKER: That is a very fair assessment. And, in fact, the conclusion I take out of this is generally we can assume that people from the Seattle area are a little bit twisted.

It is a fantastic compilation of all things Commie-Obama, but alas I did not find connections between most of the current crop of Obama czars and socialists/Marxists.

PROFILE: VAN JONES

Became a Communist in the aftermath of the 1992 "Rodney King riots" in Los Angeles
Founded the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights in 1996
Was active in the anti-Iraq War demonstrations organized by International ANSWER
Served as a board member of the Rainforest Action Network and Free Press
In March 2009, President Barack Obama named Jones to be his so-called "Green Jobs Czar."

Born in 1968 in rural West Tennessee, Van Jones earned a B.A. degree from the University of Tennessee at Martin and then attended Yale Law School. During his years at Yale, Jones served as an intern with the San Francisco-based Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights (LCCR), which views the United States as an irredeemably racist nation and "champions the legal rights of people of color, poor people, immigrants and refugees, with a special commitment to African-Americans."

Jones says that he first became politically radicalized in the aftermath of the deadly April 1992 Los Angeles riots which erupted shortly after four L.A. police officers who had beaten the infamous Rodney King were exonerated in court. "I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th," says Jones, who is black, "and then the verdicts came down on April 29th. By August, I was a communist."

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."

After earning his Juris Doctorate from Yale in 1993, Jones relocated to San Francisco, where he helped establish Bay Area PoliceWatch, a hotline and lawyer-referral service that began as a project of LCCR. In 1996 he founded the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, which, claiming that the American criminal-justice system is infested with racism, seeks to promote alternatives to incarceration. According to the Baker Center:

"Decades of disinvestment in our cities have led to despair and hopelessness. For poor communities and communities of color it's even worse, as excessive, racist policing and over-incarceration have left people even further behind."

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.)

During his tenure with STORM, Jones collaborated on numerous projects (including antiwar demonstrations) with local activist Elizabeth "Betita" Martinez, who served as a "mentor" for members of the Ella Baker Center. Martinez was a longtime Maoist who went on to join the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism (CCDS), a Communist Party USA splinter group, in the early 1990s. To this day, Martinez continues to sit on the CCDS advisory board alongside such luminaries as Angela Davis, Timuel Black (who served on Barack Obama's 2004 Senate campaign committee), and musician Pete Seeger. Martinez is also a board member of the Movement for a Democratic Society, the parent organization of Progressives for Obama. Martinez and Van Jones together attended a "Challenging White Supremacy" workshop which advanced the theme that "all too often, the unconscious racism of white activists stands in the way of any effective, worthwhile collaboration" with blacks.

In 2005 Jones and the Ella Baker Center produced the "Social Equity Track" for the United Nations' World Environment Day celebration, a project that eventually would evolve into the Baker Center's Green-Collar Jobs Campaign -- "a job-training and employment pipeline providing 'green pathways out of poverty' for low-income adults in Oakland."

Soon after attending the Clinton Global Initiative in September 2007, Jones launched "Green For All," a non-governmental organization "dedicated to building an inclusive green economy strong enough to lift people out of poverty … advocating for local, state and federal commitment to job creation, job training, and entrepreneurial opportunities in the emerging green economy - especially for people from disadvantaged communities."

In 2008 Jones published his first book, The Green Collar Economy, which focused on environmental and economic issues. The book received favorable reviews from such notables as Al Gore, Nancy Pelosi, Laurie David, Winona LaDuke, environmentalist Paul Hawken, and NAACP President/CEO Ben Jealous.

Jones has served as a board member of numerous environmental and nonprofit organizations, including the Rainforest Action Network; Free Press; Bioneers (which accepts the United Nations Millennium Ecosystem Report's warning that "[h]uman activity is putting such strain on the natural functions of Earth that the ability of the planet's ecosystems to sustain future generations can no longer be taken for granted"); the National Apollo Alliance (which seeks "to catalyze a clean energy revolution that will put millions of Americans to work in a new generation of high-quality, green-collar jobs"); the Social Venture Network (which aims "to build a just economy and sustainable planet"); and Julia Butterfly Hill's "Circle of Life" environmental foundation.

Jones was also a Senior Fellow with the Center for American Progress and a Fellow at the Institute of Noetic Sciences.

In March 2009, President Barack Obama named Jones to be his so-called "Green Jobs Czar." Jones' formal title is "Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation" for the White House Council on Environmental Quality.

In a July 2009 interview with Newsweek magazine, Jones said he could not explain exactly what a "green job" is:

"Well, we still don't have a unified definition, and that's not unusual in a democracy. It takes a while for all the states and the federal government to come to some agreement. But the Department of Labor is working on it very diligently. Fundamentally, it's getting there, but we haven't crossed the finish line yet."
