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."

Which may have morphed into something else by now. Haven't checked on them lately but they sound familiar enough...
About Arissa - Excerpts: The primary goal of Arissa is to create a political and social revolution in the United States of America. We believe that none of the single-issue problems - whether in the human, environmental, or animal categories - can be resolved until a political structure is put into place to allow for an atmosphere of change. Arissa will have reached its goal when that revolution occurs.
Our Arissa Media Services Department was formed in late 2003 to provide necessary media relations for those conducting revolutionary actions in the United States. ...[I tested the Arissa links in preview and they no longer work (research from November '03). The only exception is ARISSA MEDIA GROUP CATALOGUE.

Someone mentioned the 'Weather Underground'. Here's a connection. Also, a connection to the Tides Foundation. I tested the Arissa links in preview and they no longer work (research from November '03). The only exception is ARISSA MEDIA GROUP: "CATALOGUE" . Have posted the new link to the home page, but the radicalism has been toned WAY down.
Good info, I’ll add Arissa to my list to be aware of.
Thought you all might be interested in this thread.
Instead of transforming our economy to meet the desires of elite nuts, we should transform them into fertilizer.
As I said yesterday on another thread, the boondoggle that is Obamacare will pale in significance to the economic destruction and totalitarian control that MAY come from the environmentalists and the EPA.
Notice I said "MAY." I still have hope for our country, and that we can expose and defeat these duplicitous, self-loathing radical communists (environmentalists).
Agreed, Fly...I have much hope and truthfully believe these radicals have no chance of succeeding, the patriots in our country can only be pushed so far.
No need. They transformed themselves into bags of B.S. already.
