They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide.

President Obama and Van Jones are using lies and distortions to distract and divide the American people.

~ Ellis Washington (a paraphrase of Van Jones)

By now most of you have heard that late Saturday President Obama's outspoken "green czar," Van Jones, was forced to resign due to his repeated racist, communist and idiotic statements against American society and past presidents like George W. Bush, whom Van Jones called "a crackhead."

Apparently, Van Jones was a highly touted recommendation from Valerie Jarrett, one of Barack's (and Michelle's) closet friends and senior adviser from Chicagoland. Surely the self-appointed "most transparent administration" in the history of the U.S. presidency would have done their proper due diligence in vetting this self-avowed communist and radical community organizer from the streets of Oakland, Calif., who has a law degree from an Ivy League school. … Sounds a little bit like Saul Alinsky, Barack and Michelle Obama, doesn't it?

Just what did Obama and Jarrett know, and when did they know it? Surely Obama and his legions of socialist bureaucrats knew and approved this green czar and sanctioned his offensive, arrogant worldview that was expressed in his many political speeches. For example, in one speech, Jones said: "Give them [Native Americans] the wealth! Give them the dignity! Give them the respect!"

What caused Van Jones to get fired was that he wasn't as sufficiently adept at concealing his radical intentions as Obama, Rahm Emmanuel, David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett have been so far. Indeed, Jones' entire career is Karl Marx revisited and is contained in Marx's famous aphorism: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need."


In ridding himself of Van Jones, Obama also borrowed a policy from the Mexican drug cartels when they have a problem person in their way – plata o ploma, silver or lead? The bribe or the bullet? I believe that Jones was pulled aside over the weekend and told in no uncertain terms:

Obama to Van Jones: By signing the 9/11 Truther Manifesto claiming that America committed genocide against 3,000 of its own citizens, you've gone too far, and now you must resign. Van Jones, here are your choices: you can go back to Clinton's chief of staff, John Podesta's think tank, "Center for American Progress" and quietly write positions papers and give harmless speeches, or you can be forced out and have your career made dead – plata o ploma?

Jones may act and talk crazy, but he isn't crazy. He's is a shrewd demagogue, a vulgar political opportunist no different than Obama whose racialism, community organizing past and the street thug tactics of "The Chicago Way" make Van Jones merely President Obama's alter ego. Jones just took his Marxist ideology too far, too fast and too obvious.

For example, in a radio interview in April 2008 Van Jones gleefully and repeatedly condemned America and capitalism while praising Marxism, tying it all together into a perverse, civil rights continuum:

Right after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat if the civil rights leaders had jumped out and said, "OK now we want reparations for slavery, we want redistribution of all the wealth, and we want to legalize mixed marriages." If we'd come out with a maximum program the very next day, they'd been laughed at. Instead they came out with a very minimum "We just want to integrate these buses."
But, inside that minimum demand was a very radical kernel that eventually meant that from 1964 to 1968 complete revolution was on the table for this country. And, I think that this green movement has to pursue those same steps and stages. Right now we say we want to move from suicidal gray capitalism to something eco-capitalism where at least we're not fast-tracking the destruction of the whole planet. Will that be enough? No, it won't be enough. We want to go beyond the systems of exploitation and oppression altogether. … So the green economy will start off as a small subset, and we are going to push it and push it and push it until it becomes the engine for transforming the whole society.



Aside from Jones' reactionary, revisionist view of history, this is right out of the Karl Marx/Saul Alinisky playbook. For at least 20 years since the fall of Soviet communism, the environmentalist movement of the left has shifted strategy to hijack civil rights tactics and language to further their cause, as demonstrated by the Van Jones speech above. Now "being green" is a civil right equal to MLK and the civil rights movement of the 1960s. This is a vile distortion of all that MLK gave his life for. We should not allow Jones, Obama or any political demagogue to get away with co-opting the hard fought moral gains of true equality paid for with the blood of black people with radical environmentalism, feminism, welfare, gay rights, unionism or other socialist movements of the left.

Saul Alinsky, an avowed communist, liberal icon of the 1940s-60s and the father of community organizing, said in rule 13 of his 1971 book, "Rules for Radicals": "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it." Van Jones tried to polarize the American people, but we pushed back and Obama was forced to fire this useful idiot to save himself from further embarrassment.

America, let us use the momentum gleaned from the Van Jones resignation to purge this administration of all Obama's alter egos – the communists, the communist sympathizers, the socialists, the fascists. Let us start with his science czar, John Holdren, who in his 1977 book, "Ecoscience" proposed: Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not, and the population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation's drinking water or in food.

We the People have the power to reclaim our republic from the political regressives of the Obama administration if we would only use it.
