Seems like a reasonable vision? Van Jones recently received a lot of press during his brief membership to the Obama administration’s list of Czars. Residing in the position of Green Czar, Van Jones was valued by the administration as a visionary within the realm of sustainable energy. Not until he was vetted by the media was he exposed for his radical ideological beliefs and belief that Bush prompted the 911 attacks did Jones resign from his post at midnight on Labor Day weekend.
Jones sites after being arrested for rowdy protesting during the riots after the Rodney King verdict and a brief stint in jail he commented,
"I met all these young radical people of color -- I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, 'This is what I need to be a part of.' I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary. I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th, by August, I was a communist."
Jones has embraced the ideas of revolution but like many progressives; see an opportunity in the green movement as a vehicle for this social change. Under the green cloak, Jones wishes to couple pollution and exploitation of the polluters as a new civil rights movement. This rowdy self proclaimed Black Nationalist and communist lawyer is the founder of the non-profit Ella Baker Center which focuses its efforts on low income criminal justice issues, has in the past said that police in the San Francisco Bay Area were deliberately killing black people. His claim was, "Willie Brown's Police Commission is killing black people."
Jones also was one of the founders of Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM). This group followed the ideology of Lenin, Stalin, and Marx, which dreamed of the multi-racial socialist utopia. The group was opposed to the Gulf War and saw the war as an opportunity to resurrect the radical anti-war movement of the 60’s counter-culture. On Page 36 of a STORM memoire published in the spring of 2004, the Revolutionary politics was described as follows:
”While many people in our generation dismissed Marxism as inherently white and sectarian, we looked towards the revolutionary traditions of Third World communism and found valuable and inspiring models for revolutionary change.”
Let’s stop for a moment and think of what is inspiring about communism. Must we revisit previous posts outlining the atrocities and massive destruction of human life brought about by this ideology? With this in mind it is extremely concerning that Van Jones and his cronies find inspiration within this dark pool of Marxism. STORM eventually failed after infighting over government grant money. Yes the government issued tax dollars to this organization.
Let’s listen to a recent audio clip of Van Jones as he explains the weakness of Progressives. Jones explains that the weakness of the modern Progressives is that they lack “maximum goals” which include complete wealth distribution. He explains the goals of the green movement as a revolution much like that of the civil rights movements of the 60’s. Eventually the whole society will be transformed.

As people argue about whether man-made Global Warming exists and the sustainable energy, the communists of the world are high-jacking the issues and using them to transform our Republic into a radical communist regime. If these words are hard for you to digest, remember that a President of the United States seeks advice from him on sustainability and environmental protection.
So where is Van Jones now? He was quickly picked up by President Clinton’s fourth Chief of Staff John Podesta at the Center for American Progress. Center for American Progress was formed by Hillary Clinton and Podesta after discussions between George Soros and Morton Halerpin on how to push Progressive agendas. So I ask, how common is this ideology in the Progressive movement? I think we have laid this out pretty clearly in the Machine Chronicles…
