Van Jones Predicts ‘Potential Nightmare Scenario’ of Social Unrest
The Blaze ^ | 5 Dec 2010 | Scott Baker

Posted on 12/05/2010 3:58:11 PM PST by mandaladon

St. Louis blogger Adam Sharp has posted a series of videos from Van Jones’ recent talk at Washington University. The most exciting clip was when they decided to toss Adam out of the event! But his subsequent posts have been revealing on a number of fronts, including Jones comparing Fox News to Satan.

Today Sharp Elbows adds one more clip into the mix. Many of you have followed Glenn Beck‘s analysis of how desperate progressives will begin to drive wedges in this country that may trigger the kind of trouble we’ve watching unfold across Europe. It seems Van Jones is now predicting just that. Jones is unwavering that the U.S. is “going to go into a tough period.” A “potential nightmare scenario” he calls it.

Jones sees two trends. A country that is growing more diverse. And one that he is certain is going to be “less and less economically prosperous.” He repeats his forecast. Makes you wonder – what intel does he have that he can be so confident of American economic demise?

These trends, says Jones pointing us to history, make up a recipe: “That is not a recipe for common ground, that’s a recipe for a battleground.”

Sharp entitles his video with a question: Is Van Jones Predicting a Civil War?

Folks if the liberals start shooting, it will be the law abiding who are in their sights, as all here know. The threats are the threats of (take your pick from any number of groups), those who want America’s demise. While I do not wish to be an alarmist. Preparation is key as well as information. When one is ‘Walking Tall’, always the walking, talking, reporting, etc., leads into danger. This is why, I believe, so few now make the journey, and initiate the walk, the talk, the reporting, etc. I have been wrong before though.

Our national decline has so much momentum behind it now that no one can foresee an end to it. Who will accept these solutions?

A decades long moratorium on immigration, and deportation of all illegals.

Immediate cancellation of all entitlements.

An end to our suicidal trade and industrial policy.

Abolishing most agencies in the government except those specifically called for in the Constitution.

Outlawing all public sector unions.

The death penalty for most violent crimes.

Term limits for all federal officials, including and especially judges.

Abolishing judicial review.

Compulsory draft.

Restoring value to the dollar.

Restoring morality (somehow).

I'm sure there are more that I haven't thought of just now, but I've already given myself plenty of rope.

The Left always wants you and him to fight. They figure they get to pick up the pieces. They predict history but they never actually read it.

Interesting article, but we won't be having to fight an army--just roving bands of obamanoid thugs rioting and causing havoc. A well armed populace will be able to defend itself if it has the will.

It might. But the right doesn’t riot.
The right are primarily working people.
I would expect them to manufacture aircraft, artillery, and drojes before getting down to business.

Yeah right,

The liberals ain't going to come out of their cities, instead they will turn on each 1st and burn down their own neighborhoods first

All Conservatives/Libertarians have to do is just knock out the power(which is generated out in the country) and/or water to their cities and the riots & looting will begin the moment the sun goes down.

Van Jones says we are going to be more ethnically diverse but less economically prosperous. Does he have enough brain cell to connect the two? I doubt it. We are less economically prosperous because we are more ethnically diverse. I've seen saying that for 20 years to anyone who would listen. All ethnically diverse nations tear themselves to pieces unless their is an assimilation process. We abandoned this in 1965 with the Immigration and Reform Act. Thanks Democrats.

Zombie apocalypse.

That's my bet. No civil war, no foreign invasion - but a lot of zombies out on the roads.

Good news is they're effective only at close range - easily taken at 50+ yards. Bad news is, gonna be lots of 'em, at least for a while.

There are a hundred Van Jones’ in and around Jackson, Tennessee, that are and have been educated at Lane College. The college professors of diversity have been preaching this for years and their efforts are about to come to fruition. I suggest stocking up on food, ammo, and silver.

It is the dream the go to sleep with and wake up with. It what they are putting all their efforts into. ‘Revolution’. They need it bad; given that they are not winning the battle of ‘hearts and minds’.
