Van Jones, President Obama's former "green jobs" czar and newly appointed Princeton lecturer, has teamed up with a coalition of extremists to push an environmental activist agenda to "transform the American economy" and bring about "social change."
The groups working with Jones have been described as using the tactics of guerrilla communication, agitation and disruption techniques. One organization working alongside Jones, the radical Earth First! environmentalist group, has a history of violence and sabotage.
Jones spoke Monday at a Northern Arizona University event titled "Challenging America: Achieving Sustainability and Justice Through the Green Collar Economy."
He spoke with Billy Parish, founder of the Energy Action Coalition, a group of 50 organizations promoting a liberal environmental agenda. Green For All, a group founded and led by Jones, is part of the Energy Action Coalition.
At the university event, Parish claimed, "We are reaching the peak and decline of nearly all of our resources. ... We've used more resources since World War II than in all of previously recorded history. Global warming is only one symptom of a much broader crisis, which is that our economy provides goods and services in ways that are unaffordable for most of the world's population and unsustainable for our planet."
Parish added that "major changes are necessary to transform the American economy into one that practices sustainability of dwindling resources and the environment."

Ping!
Obama is nothing but a cheap thug and everyone around him are corrupt and evil rats.
Time to clean the sewers.
The country will look like Albania, with ruthless thugs running everything.
"Environmentalism is instinctively and relentlessly illiberal, and it is doing more to inculcate people with fear, self-loathing and a religious-style sense of meekness than any piece of anti-terror legislation ever could. If you believe in freedom, you must reject it."

Well I for one am just shocked. Shocked I tell you.

Beck was right! As seems to be the case with almost everything he says...
Don’t know a thing about Whitman but that doesn’t speak well for her, Jones sounds like an Obama thug.
These ba**ards are really spoilin’ for a fight, aren’t they? Bring it on - we will bury you.
It seems so. They’d best do a lot of thinking on this, the American people will take just so much of this.
1979 : (ECOTERRORIST GROUP “EARTH FIRST!” IS FOUNDED BY DAVID FOREMAN , LATER BOARDMEMBER OF THE SIERRA CLUB & COCREATOR OF THE WILDLANDS PROJECT) Most ecoterrorist activity seems to revolve around one group, Earth First! It was founded in 1979 by Dave Foreman who now serves on the Board of Directors of the Sierra Club. He is also a co-creator of the radical environmental blue print called “The Wildlands Project.”
From the beginning, the structure of Earth First! was “informal” in order to avoid prosecution. It called itself a “movement” rather than an organization. There was no bureaucracy, no lobbyist, no paid staff, and only a cadre of volunteers. There were no membership lists, no lists of names of any kind, and no way to trace anyone to any activity.
For his model of the new group, Foreman adopted Edward Abbey’s industry-killing novel, “The Monkey Wrench Gang.” The book described acts of sabotage. Forman would call Earth First!’s attacks “eco-tage.”
“Monkeywrenching” was a term used by Earth First! activists who poured sugar into the gas tanks of bulldozers to destroy the equipment of the hated timber companies. A favorite “Monkeywrenching” trick was to pound spikes into trees. At the mills, saws hitting the spikes would explode like shrapnel. One worker lost most of his face when his blade hit an undetected spike. Over the years, “Monkeywrenchers” have become fond of sending mail bombs and letters in envelopes lined with razor blades. It pre-stages today’s Anthrax-filled envelopes.
Today, Foreman’s vision of radical environmental action has spawned a violent network of eco-terrorists and it’s on the rise. They include the Earth Liberation Front, the Earth Liberation Army, and the Environmental Rangers, to name a few. Joining forces with the ecoterrorists are the equally violent animal rights terrorists. The most prominent of these is the Animal Liberation Front. Just as Earth First! is a violent offshoot of the mainstream Sierra Club, animal rights terrorists have links to the well-known People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). —————————The EcoTerrorist Anthrax Connection

Obama, university employees and high ranking government and media employees are facing growing difficulties protecting Mr. and Mrs. Bill Ayers.
"[S]peaking publicly for the first time about the investigation, former FBI agents have told Village Voice Media the basis for their belief that the Weather Underground was behind McDonnell’s murder. The agents have revealed that two credible eyewitnesses — both former left-wing radicals tied to the Weathermen — gave detailed statements to investigators in the 1970s alleging that Dohrn and Howard Machtinger, another member of the group, were personally involved in organizing the deadly attack."
Human beings, as a species, have no more value than slugs. — John Davis, editor of Earth First! Journal We advocate biodiversity for biodiversity’s sake. It may take our extinction to set things straight — David Foreman, Earth First!
Phasing out the human race will solve every problem on earth, social and environmental. — Dave Forman, Founder of Earth First!
If radical environmentalists were to invent a disease to bring human populations back to sanity, it would probably be something like AIDS — Earth First! Newsletter

Jones and Obama are cut from the same cloth.
Surrounded by weak, self-hating white liberal “progressives”, they think ALL Caucasians will acquiesce silently to their arrogant, in-your-face, race-flavored Marxism.
too bad nobody's listening.
Why can’t Jones just mysteriously disappear. The gubmit does it with people all the time. Why not the other way around?
One of the offshoots, the Earth Liberation Front had a group known as The Family start in the NW. Fortunately they were busted after causing millions in damage and started ratting on one another to save themselves. There's still two or three that are fugitives but the rest of them either pleaded or were found guilty and are serving in federal prisons.
Thanks for posting.
The murder of Sergeant Brian McDonnell should be brought up often so everyone can remember him and what scums Bill Ayers and wife are, they both should have been executed years ago.
