Van Jones Part I: Van Jones is Barack Obama in disguise. And you should see his plans for this election year.

Is it suddenly disreputable to advocate free-market policies? That's the question raised by a remarkable political assault on the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), which promotes reform in the 50 states. Led by former White House aide Van Jones, various left-wing activists and media are bullying big business to cut off ALEC's funding. So much for free and open debate.

Founded in 1973, ALEC is a group of state lawmakers who meet to share and spread conservative policy ideas. ALEC's main focus is fiscal and economic policy, notably at the moment pension and lawsuit reform, tax and spending limitation . . . . . . (WSJ)

Editor's notes:  indeed, this attack against ALEC is an incredible display of Leftist hypocrisy at the highest level.  Van Jones carried a communist card in his back pocket for 10 freaking years,  according to  . . . . . . . . . van Jones.  He was hired into the Obama Administration as the Green Czar and was forced out because of attention bought to his person by the patriot, Glenn Beck.  Jones may have been the first card carrying commie ("ex" or otherwise) to work for a president in the history of this country.  

I think we go too far in making him to be "public enemy number one,"  but he certainly is a formidable trouble maker.  Most of his efforts have ended in failure, but he has had success in scaring businesses away from ALEC.  His efforts have driven McDonalds and  WalMart (for examples) to curtail their financial support of ALEC.  And Jones' only complaint, is that ALEC is a right leaning organization and, in terms of today's news,  supports fairness in the Trayvon Martin killing (ALEC wanting justice,  the angry black cabal wanting revenge).  

The hypocrisy of this pleasant sounding but very angry black man is astonishing.   What makes him dangerous to a free society is his attractiveness as a person:  good looking,  pleasant in personality and well spoken.  To bad he is a stinking commie, right? 

Like I said,  his assault against ALEC is his only real success story.  Jones wants ALEC gone in a final sense but supports MoveOn.org and Media Matters for doing the same sort of thing (as ALEC), only in spades.  

Jones appears to lead a rather simple life,  but he is
a man of more means than might appear in this
family photo with wife and kids.  We see Jones as
a true "we are the world" socialist, as opposed to
Obama's political brand of One Worldism. Who is
more the threat, the hones socialist or the one
convoluted one with power? 

Van Jones failed to positioning himself in the Administration and was driven out.  He has failed to gather support around Cap and Trade or to raise public awareness in that regard,  He is given to exaggeration, recently claiming "100,000 green jobs" when,  in fact,  there are less than 17,0000.   He tried to co-opt "Occupy"  but failed in that effort mostly because Occupy devolved into an anarchist terror movement that defied all political structure.  At one point in time,  van Jones had planned to create a third party,  a straight up social concern complete   with delegates from all 50 states and a national convention to be held this coming June.  Ain't going to happen. 

Like I said,  van Jones is not yet,  the success he wants to be,  but,  neither is he going away anytime soon.  If he compares himself to where he was several years ago,  he would argue for his success.  

And he has a new "offensive" in mind.  He calls it "The 99% Spring." 

 “The choice is in our hands. This spring, we will act on that choice and rise up in the tradition of our forefathers and foremothers. We will not be complicit with the suffering in our families for another year. We will prepare ourselves for sustained non-violent direct action.”

That “preparation” looks like a week-long training session from April 9-15. But not just any training session, this training session will be held across the country and will reportedly feature meetings in “places of worship”

You will not  hear more on this effort form others, than what you read, here,  at Midknight Review unless, of course,  you subscribe to Glenn Beck.  I say this with confidence because April 9 - 15 was nearly two weeks ago and absolutely nothing was reported in the liberal media and  little to nothing in the Right (as in "correct") Media. Understand, Jones did begin his training program and thousands have been part of the program, or so we are told.  


This blog will continue to look to van Jones and what he is trying to accomplish.  If you want to follow this fellow, yourself,  the van Jones site is here.  

Understand that this blog believes that van Jones speaks for Barack Obama in precise measure and we will represent this comparison as "true"  unless and until Barack Obama denies van Jones and his socialist efforts and does so  in a demonstrable way.  

In a sense,  if van Jones carries  a communist card,  so does Obama; if van Jones happily admits to being a socialist,  so does Obama;  if van Jones is working for the end of America as we know it to be, so, too, is Barack Obama.  Untrue??  Fine.  Again, prove me wrong with something other than words.
