Van Jones, Barack Obama's Green Jobs Czar, produced a record album entitled "WarTimes: Reports from the Opposition" a few years ago that was narrated by convicted cop killer Mumia Abu Jamal and featured a clip of an interview Jones did where he slammed the United States and Israel and proclaimed his stand with a "global struggle" against the United States.
Jones used his Ella Baker Center for Human Rights to found Freedom Fighter Music, the label WarTimes appeared on. WarTimes is also the name of an anti-war-on-al-Qaeda propaganda newspaper Jones helped organize.
The album was unearthed by the website Verum Serum, which posted a YouTube video with highlights of the album.
About three minutes forty-five seconds in to the highlight video, there is a brief interview with Van Jones at an anti-Israel demonstration where Jones criticizes Israel and calls for Palestinian 'right of return' then unloads on the United States:
"We see violence against poor people and poor people of color within the U.S. border, at the U.S. border, and beyond the U.S. border and you see U.S. tax dollars funding all of it. And so we have this now global struggle against the U.S. led security apparatus and military agenda that impacts people here and impacts people around the world and I think that we need to see our problems as linked."
Mumia closes out the album by describing it as a "small tease of the truth about U.S. imperialism's war on the world."
The time frame of the album is hard to gauge, but Verum Serum writes that Freedom Fighter Music existed from around 2002-2003 to 2005-2006 and produced maybe two or three albums. The album appears to be from late 2002 or early 2003.
Jones mentioned the label in an interview with USA Today's USA Weekend magazine published February 9, 2003 that Verum Serum found:
[I understand you have] developed a record label, Freedom Fighter Music.
Jones: Yes, we've had one for a little more than a year. Our second CD is coming out this year.
Verum Serum gave a link to an MP3 file of the entire album at Indymedia.
FYI:
Stand with Van Jones
Like sharks in the water, a right-wing lynch mob led by notorious race-baiter Glenn Beck is now circling around White House green jobs advisor Van Jones.
On the surface, their complaint centers around Jones’ background and statements he previously made as an activist. Specifically, conservative blogs and media outlets have seized on a harshly-worded petition Beck signed in 2004 demanding further investigations into the 9/11 attacks. Jones has clarified since then, saying of the petition that “it certainly does not reflect my views, now or ever.” But this is little more than the right-wing manufactured faux-outrage du jour. Beck began aggressively going after Jones in the wake of a campaign targeting Beck’s advertisers — organized by Color of Change — an advocacy organization Jones founded prior to taking a position in the administration.
Sadly, the Obama administration appears to be wavering in its support of Jones. This is not acceptable. A decision to throw one of their most charismatic communicators under the bus in a vein attempt to placate a racist witch-hunt would be both foolish and ineffective. Van Jones is exactly the type of principled and effective leader we need more of in government — not less. President Obama should make a strong public statement as soon as possible, reiterating his full support for green jobs advisor Van Jones.

Which is exactly why I believe that we all know in our hearts that we can NOT wait until 2012 to do something about the REAL problem. Obama is going to destroy this country as fast as he can, we cannot afford to wait. We need those in the media, like Glenn Beck, to make sure that all of the Van Jones, Rev. Wright-types are DIRECTLY connected back to Obama. I’m all for impeachment. Biden may be stupid, but I think I’d rather have ‘stupid’ for three more years.
He won't leave, as long as he can live for free off the taxpayer's dime.
.......I’m all for impeachment......
That is not a viable possibility. Think of something else.
Naw - run him out, and then go after the next commie. Obambi's got a whole fleet of communist czars. Just keep hammering them, one at a time. With each one we expose, Obambi loses just a little more political 'capital'.
The feeling is mutual!!!!
In six months, 90 percent of the country will be looking for Regime change and whatever it takes to make that happen.
“Don’t lose focus on 0bama, however. We must tie Van Jones to 0bama and make 0bama pay dearly (politically) for his usurpation and subversion.”
Excellent post and this is SOOO important. And there are plenty of other Van Jones’ out there who are connected to Obama...all of them need to be exposed as such.

I cannot believe this a**hole, Van Jones, is getting a paycheck from US taxpayers. He is a traitor and needs to be fired!
Frankfurt School followers infiltrated public and higher education, the N.E.A. and many church denominations during those years. Those folks brought us sensitivity training and consensus building.
Their Marxist-socialist plan was indoctrination of youth over time, leading to an eventual vote that would turn America hard left. That was 11/4/8.
Search on "Frankfurt School".
Appointing radical Communists to unaccountable positions of power is the perfect conduit for a successful coup d'etat, especially when that action is only one part of a system that has tentacles reaching far and wide. I see them as mad Jacks-in-The-Boxes, having been winding, winding, winding underground for years and now they are all popping up in our faces, their evil grins towering over the American landscape. As Øbama and his minions often remind us "We won."
We must be confident in our own principles to overcome the takeover. We must know that we are the greater force for good. We must know that they have not won; they just haven't recognized their own utter and devastating defeat. They are merely firecrackers with a big bang and a bright and frightening explosion. We cannot be intimidated by a power that by its very nature leads to its own demise.
I can think of another verb as to what should be done with this punk.
Lots of folks claim that Van was poorly vetted by the Obama camp.
-—<>-—<>-—<>-—<>-—<>-—
(snicker snicker...) Right... just like Dear Leader didn’t know anything about the views of the pastor whose pews he sat in for 20 years.
Is there anyone in the country who HONESTLY believes that?
If they do, they need to be hospitalized.
WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grayson is a radical leftist who needs to be ousted ASAP. Do NOT be deceived by his questioning of the fed. His desire is to destroy America just like obama, jones, et al.
“And people laughed at SP when she said 0bama palled around w/terrorists.”
A excellent point.
We supposedly have the best and the brightest in the government, secret service, FBI and CIA.
You mean to tell the folks of America.....no one informed The Kenyan that he was about to appoint a radical black communist as a Czar?
Bullcrap!!
They all knew....they all are complicit in covering it up.
Our elected servants are either the best and the brightest or just plain ignorant.
If they are plain ignorant, then what on earth are they doing in office? If they are truly the best and the brightest.........this folks, has been done purposefully.
America is in trouble.
With any luck, he may become Obama’s Lani Guinier.
After Sotomayor, that Lloyd guy at the FCC, I jokingly wondered if Obama would just appoint an outright commie to the next Czarship. And he went and did it. It’s like: are your serious Obama? This is a joke, right? No, it’s not a joke. He actually appointed a hammer and sickle flag waving commie to be a czar. What goes on inside The Fearless Leader’s head?
