Van Jones Award Reveals NAACP’s Leftism
David Horowitz's NewsReal Blog ^ | Deneen Borelli

Posted on 02/27/2010 4:59:43 AM PST by Michael van der Galien

Van Jones, the former “green jobs czar” for the Obama Administration, was honored with an Image Award from the NAACP. According to NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous, Jones was honored as “an American treasure” who is “the most misunderstood man in America.”

This just cements what most already figured: the NAACP nowadays is, in essence, a progressive front group. That knowledge dulls the shock of them giving an award meant to honor “outstanding achievement” to a self-avowed communist, 9/11-truther and generally crass political operative.

...the NAACP runs on shakedown money that they get from Whitey...blacks themselves are indifferent about financial support.....every thing from foundations to corporations kick in to their coffers...they are constantly on the alert to be offended by what they percieve as a racial slight...remember the Toyota ad showing a black kid with a gold tooth?...stuff like that is milk and honey to the NAACP....the DEMS give them close to a million a year...it’s a good buy...in return they get control of the voting apparatus of urban areas.

Not too much of a surprise here. Wasn't it the NAACP's Julian Bond who called the Bush Administration "the Taliban wing of American politics" -- ? Wasn't it the NAACP that repudiated Bill Cosby's brilliant rant against "black English" and the culture of victimism?

VAN JONES (Obama's former 'Green Jobs Czar'):

YouTube:
"Valerie Jarrett, Senior Advisor to President Obama, speaks 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."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnDxzvc0OXk&feature=related
_________________________________________________

"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."

VAN JONES SHOCK ADMISSION [in his own words]: "Goal is Complete Revolution"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh4Z0V0zNQg
_________________________________________________

Transcript of YouTube video (link below):

“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.

Here's the original source for the Van Jones quote about the time he spent in jail following the Rodney King/LA riots (Jones was arrested in "peaceful" protests in San Fran). 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."

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.'"

The civil rights movement is based in communism. I am sad to know I didn’t understand that fully until recent years and I wish others would understand that now.

The allure of the civil rights movement to communism was ‘equality’, but instead of seeing it as an opportunity for every black to achieve what whites achieved, they instead took the route of knocking whites down and forcing them to “share” what they worked for.

The communist left was and still is the force behind the so-called "anti-war" movement. Every one of the large 'anti-war' coalitions was founded by and is led by one of the 3 following communist outfits.

Communist Party USA = United for Peace and Justice

Workers World Party/Party for Socialism and Liberation = ANSWER and Troops Out Now

Revolutionary Communist Party = "World Can't Wait"

Jones is as far out as they come in hating this country. Given that the NAALCP “honored” him tells you that no conservative should ever give this thug group credibility by appearing at any of their little get togethers.
