Former Obama administration green jobs czar Van Jones said Saturday the Occupy Wall Street movement essentially saved the entire country from destruction.
Jones made the comments in Los Angeles ahead of his appearance at an All in for the 99% training event, saying Occupy disrupted the narrative as both parties barreling toward more austerity.
[The] Occupy movement pretty much saved the entire country from destruction, Jones said in an interview posted online. Both political parties were barreling toward more austerity, more cutbacks, more pain for the people and more basically both political parties had managed to converge on this idea of basically no rules for the rich, no rights for the poor, no middle class to speak of. That was basically the agenda, the question was just how much pain how fast.
Occupy Wall Street came on and completely disrupted the narrative, he said. All the austerity, austerity, cut, cut, cut stuff went away and suddenly even Republicans had to talk about income inequality and that whole theme. Occupy Wall Street really kind of, like, helped us to hit a reset in the country.

From UrbanDictionary.com:
Not that it necessarily has anything to do with this incident (likely not), but just for the record.
“experience the rainbow”
Just when you think he’s out of the picture....
The fact that van jones, personally, wants to be the star of some leftist something (anything) makes him a fool and a narcissist. The fact that the leftists want him to be the star and their leader (of something - anything) makes him one dangerous sob.
If you buy this I’ve got another Stimulus package to sell you.
You beat me to it!
Sounds like it though ~ looking at my calendar it’s about time eh!

To wall, street occupiers!
From an old Time back when it was a real news magazine -- but because you have to pay to read the whole article I will not provide the link.
"From the hoarse throats of 250,000 Cubans jammed before the presidential palace in Havana rose the chilling cry: 'Pa-re-don! To the wall! To the firing squad!' By whipping up a frenzy of hatred, Fidel Castro last week got mob approval for a resumption of the drumhead justice that earlier put to death 551 Cubans accused as supporters of ex-Dictator Fulgencio Batista. Now the blood purge would be aimed at defectors in the band of barbudos (bearded ones) who lifted him to power, of whom hundreds are now in prison." That is the Castro that I remember and his admirers here want to send fellow Americans "To the wall!"
Van Jones is, I am sorry to say, representative of avaricious and deceitful Elitists who were they of another race would be sent to prison for trying to Overthrow their nation. Alas because of teachers, unions, professors, and politicians who are totally indoctrinated in Political Correctness, honest Americans are now the victims of Hate Crimes in the guise of Political Correctness.
Come to think of it, I have seen more tornadoes since the tents came down.
To the wall, street occupiers!"
what about the occupy slimes destruction of property and destruction of lives by rapes and murders around the country? that was good for the country?
By crapping on police cars
"Castro's younger brother, Raul, was detailed to warm up the crowd before Fidel himself appeared."The very same brother who now inherits the throne and the leftwing MSM is trying to portray as the man who will humanize that bloodthirsty tyranny.
