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.

Here is a taste of what the rabid liberals are saying about the Van Jones Controversy.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x365437

The idiots on the left actually think there is nothing wrong in what this guy says and want Obama to stick up for him.

Of course they are all communists anyway and cheer for the destruction of Freedom, Democracy and capitalism in the U.S.

FBI investigation
In March 2006, the Los Angeles Times alleged that Indymedia had appeared with Food Not Bombs and the Communist Party of Texas on an FBI terrorist watchlist, revealed at a presentation at the University of Texas School of Law.[20] A reference to the 2005 IndyConference was made at the same presentation
.........................

WHY HAS THE FBI NOT RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT VAN JONES A MEMBER OF THE INDYMEDIA. THIS IS THE GROUP THAT PRODUCED HIS RAP ALBUM.
WHAT THE H IS GOING ON IN THE FBI THAT THEY LOOK THE OTHER WAY AT A TERRORIST IN THE WH?

Sorry for yelling but I would like some answers.

Is this not an impeachable offense?

“I did want him to go. Now there is no way I want Obama to cut this anchor lose.”

Obama: Just as bad as Carter; twice as entertaining.

Let’s hope he leads to another Reagan AND another 1994.

“Global Struggle Against U.S.”

the words that come out of the mouths of tots.

talk about some midguided souls and ain’t this a kick in the shorts to every person who ever served this nation and especially those who sacrificed all for it

not sure what they teach in skools these dayz but if this is it, ‘It is US against Them’.. then the terrorists have won..

"I did want him to go. Now there is no way I want Obama to cut this anchor lose."

I couldn't agree more. Let this busturd hang around obambi's neck until it politically chokes him. There is NO upside to this guy, except maybe for the commie rah rah section.

My guess is vanny-the-commie will be gone sometime next week. Think bus under-carriage. Obambi may also be a commie at heart, but he's not a stupid commie.

Never thought I would use the word "commie" so often again in my lifetime. Sheesh, I spent years playing tag with Soviet commie ships and subs during my Navy days.

The Wall fell; the Soviet Union imploded; now we have them in our White House and Congress. The word, "commie" is applicable again - who saw this coming?

Van Jones is just a symptom of Obama’s radical background. You don’t hang around with Bill Ayers and Reverend Wright if you’re not a radical leftist.

I thought they were going to try to tough it out, but there’s no way they can keep him now.

Jones’s career is just one ready-made GOP ad after another. . He has to go.
