Much of this about Obama and the Communist Party USA was announced and written about since May 2008, if not earlier.
The Washington Post chose NOT to publish some congressional documents that exposed who some of Obama’s contacts and possible mentors were, even though the reporter was told about them (He sat behind me when I spoke about a Soviet agent whose son later admitted that his father “knew” Obama in Chicago).
Some of us tried to alert the public as to what was going on in the underground world of Soviet/Communist subversion in the US but other than conservative websites and Freerepublic, almost nothing about this appeared in the mainstream media.
Unfortunately the Republicans, when they controlled the Congress, esp. the House, totally failed to hold hearings on Obama’s commie friends (as named in Fedora’s article) including Van Jones and Bill Ayers.
It is time for a new and more powerful House Internal Security Committee with expanded jurisdiction and powers including subpoenas, contempt of Congress powers, and the opening of previously classified files on some of Obama’s red friends and mentors.
Let your congresspersons know about this article and demand that a new HISC be established, with real teeth in it.
Good action plan! And thanks for mentioning Van Jones—I probably should have covered him, too.
Demos is a partner organization[36]to the radical Washington DC based "think tank" Institute for Policy Studies (IPS).
While Van Jones was not appointed as Obama's "Green Jobs Czar" until March 10 2009, IPS had picked out Jones for the job even before the November 2008 election.
In a September 26 2008 article,[37]posted on the IPS website by IPSers Phyllis Bennis and Chuck Collins posited 22 names they thought would make suitable appointments for an Obama administration.
Collins, who also works for Demos named[38];
"Van Jones, of the Ella Baker Center, to direct the Commerce Department’s new 'green jobs initiative,'"

JARRETT:. You guys know Van Jones? [Applause. Moderator injects: “This is his house apparently.”]. . .Oooh. Van Jones, alright! So, Van Jones. We were so delighted to be able to recruit him into the White House. We were watching him, uh, really, he’s not that old, for as long as he’s been active out in Oakland. And all the creative ideas he has. And so now, we have captured that. And we have all that energy in the White House.
Congress knew long before SR 511 April 2008. They didn’t care. They don’t care. They will never care.
