Van Jones Said He is Part of "Global Struggle Against U.S."

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.

Since it is obvious that Zero’s Czars have not been investigated by anyone charged with those duties (to protect and defend this nation from her enemies both foreign and domestic), I pray that “We The People” do that job for them. We must dig their dirt and expose these traitors buried within our government and those tied to them before they destroy our country. Pray that there is at least one Patriot willing to expose traitors in our government. It is up to us, We The People” to clean out Congress in 2010 and 2012. It is also up to us “We The People” to find candidates that are dedicated to protect and defend the Constitution and the dedication to protect this country from our enemies both foreign and “domestic.” Arrogant, in-your-face, power-hungry politicians must be voted out.

“Now that is a great idea!!”

Can you imagine the sweat dripping in the MSM newsrooms when and if their favorite rino denounces their messiah?

It would be sweet to witness...lol. They would have to report it.

“. It is up to us, We The People” to clean out Congress in 2010 and 2012.”

You are so right. I’m happy to say that there are signs that this could happen.

I don’t care about him....the media does though. I predict that very soon, Colin Powell is going to denounce Obama and it’s going to make news. Big news. Mark my words.

Every one in the BO administration is a traitor to this country. I am sick of it and angry as hell!

So am I. I say the czars are grounds for impeachment - just having them. Add to that crime the actual individuals he has picked for those posts - and we have a CLEARLY anti-American communist in that position of President - which is grounds for impeachment. No Communist can be committed to upholding the Constitution of the United States as he must do.

Obama is not fit to be in the office of President. Neither is Biden, of course. But Biden is not a full blown communist as is Obama.

But, then, you are right, there are all the Democommies over in the US Congress who need to be removed from office as well.

The problem is the longer Obama is in power, the more power he is garnering through his thugocracy, his Czars, and his PLAN to destroy our economy and institute his green czar’s plans for an end to capitalism and the institution of full blown socialism/communism in this country.

Four years - or eight years - will indeed bring so much suffering to this nation as the economy dies - that I just don’t want him in power that long to do the damage.

So, I say IMPEACH him now.

Of course that won’t happen as long as the Dems control Congress. But there is no real hope that 2010 will reverse things given the planned use of Acorn and other cheats to control those election results as well.

The czars and a lot of the other things that he has done is not constitutional. He has no authority to fire CEO’s and take over car company’s.
No one will have the guts to impeach him.

Perhaps he is the point of the spear. Outrageous and expendable cannon fodder. Now Obama can back off a little and seem reasonable by dumping this clown and replacing him with someone who is 90% as bad, thus advancing his communist agenda. Alinsky.

Maybe the worst thing that could happen to the administration is for us to NOT make a big fuss for his dismissal, for that very reason. Let him serve as a visible public reminder of where the Obama Crew is really coming from. Just leave him where he is- don't give Obama a reason to dismiss the 'crazy uncle'. Every time he opens his mouth, he damages the Democrats politically. Let him keep doing it.

“IMPEACH OBAMA”!

Exactly! bttt

Where are the _supposed_ sane heads in both parties? Snoozing? Where is the outcry? Where is the leadership?

How is it that they have sat back and allowed B.O. to get away appointing “czars” in an attempt to do an end-run around the checks and balances and congressional approval and oversight protections for us provided for in the Constitution?

Van Jones is only the tip of the “radical” iceberg B.O. has surrounded himself with, as we all well know and tried to warn people about before the election.

I think Rush is right! He said it appears as if B.O. is in the process of destroying the DemocRAT Party for a long time into the future. The ‘RATS are in the process of brazenly outing themselves and showing their TRUE faces from top to bottom.

Former Secretary of State, Lawrence Eagleburger (a couple of days before the election): “Obama Is A Charlatan .. If he’s elected, God help us.”
VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kt0FrgAA0cw

[Charlatan: A flamboyant deceiver; one who attracts customers with tricks or jokes. One who prates much in his own favor, and makes unwarrantable pretensions; a quack; an impostor; an empiric; a mountebank. Definition of Mountebank: One who mounts a bench or stage in the market or other public place, boasts of his skill in curing diseases, and vends medicines which he pretends are infallible remedies; a quack doctor.]

Please see the video at #105. (WARNING: Extremely strong language and disturbing content!)

There is a hideously dark side in all this. Granted it is only one example of the extreme Hip Hop philosophy and it’s revolutionary nature and culture. I’m curious how Van Jones would feel about a song like that? The underbelly of the beast is unreal to look at. Radicals all!

“Lots of folks claim that Van was poorly vetted by the Obama camp. I think they got the guy they wanted......”

Exactly correct IMO. The notion that Obama didn’t know exactly what he was getting with this guy is ludicrous.

Stand with Van Jones

STAND BY YOUR VAN
Tune: "Stand By Your Man" Original

Sometimes it's hard to be Obama
Backin' all the czars at your command
You'll have commies
PR tsunamis
Wipin' out your castles in the sand

But if you love him you won't dump him
Even though he's messin' up your plan
And if they throw stones
Oh, don't let go Jones
'Cause after all he's still your Van

Stand by your Van
Give him your imprimatur
Don't be a wimp about it
When whites attack your brother

Stand by your Van
And show Glenn Beck you back him
Keep backin' Jones--oh, yes you can!
Stand by your Van!

I wonder if Obama will throw Van Jones under the bus. . . .

So is Obama . . .

ME AND MR. JONES
Tune: "Me and Mrs. Jones" Original

Me and Mr. Jones
I took a green commie on
They all say that it's wrong
But I'm much too strong
To let him go now

We meet every day at the bust of Che
6:30, I know, I know he'll be there
Raising fists, making all kinds of lists
While we read a page of Mao Zedong

Me and Mr.--Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones
I took a green commie on
They all say that it's wrong
But I'm much too strong
To let him go now

I gotta be extra careful
That he won't give our secrets away
'Cause he won't postpone revolution
But me, I need till May

Me and Mr.--Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones
They want my green commie gone
They all say that it's wrong
Well, it won't be long
I'll let him go now

Well, it's time for me to relieve him
It hurts so much to pull the bus outside
Now I'll throw him under, and he'll resign
But tomorrow we'll tweet, the same plans, the same time

Me and Mr.--Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones
I took a green commie on
I gotta be extra careful
I can't afford to give our secrets away

I wanna meet and talk with Van
With the same plans, the same old Che, the same time
And we're gonna raise fists like we used to
We're gonna talk it over, talk it over

We know, they know, and you know and I know that it was wrong
But I'm hangin' strong
I gotta let 'em know now
That I kept a green commie on, a green commie on . . .

How much more clear can you get. He is a self-admitted enemy of America and now a top “Czar” in the Obama administration reporting directly to the President.

I think it is time for impeachment proceedings.

If Obama is not impeachable, then Nixon deserves an apology.

Holy frickin’ cow!
