Code Pink: Installment One: Who and what is Code Pink? Pictures and video tell the full story (kind of).

Jodie Evans,  founder of Code Pink and a babe in her own rite
is as much a threat to our troops as is the Taliban.  A real man hates to despise an attractive woman,  but,  in this case,  "we" have no choice.  

Evans on stage with a somewhat uncomfortable Obama.  Good for the 

Slickmeister - he resisted the temptation to do an upper body scan or even

take a quick peek. 

Code Pink's Anti-Semitic ties are well known.  They join nearly 100 American based groups in their effort to side with the Arabs,  while Obama attempts to ride the fence and appear to be supportive of both sides.  

Medea Benjamin (right of Evans; not the gal in yellow) and Jodie Evans (foreground right with that idiot hat) are co-founders of this radicalized group of feminists.  Obama has never distanced himself from them in any way,  defending their right to free speech while working overtime to silence the free and political speech of any number of conservative organizations.  

BigGovernment.com has chronicled Evans' extensive ties to Barack Obama:

• In February 2007, Evans co-hosted (along with her now-deceased husband Max Palevsky and Dreamworks executives Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg) a key Obama fundraiser just weeks after Obama had announced his presidential candidacy. Evans herself donated the maximum $2,300 to Obama’s campaign.
• In April 2007, the Obama presidential campaign announced that Evans was one of its early fundraising bundlers.
• In June 2008, Evans met with Obama at a high-priced fundraiser.
• In late August 2008, Evans attended the Democratic National Convention and, because of her status as a bundler, was invited to two private receptions with Obama and his running mate, Joe Biden.
• In September 2008, Evans attended two exclusive Hollywood fundraisers with Obama. Two weeks later, she met with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in New York City.
• In October 2008, Evans worked with Code Pink’s Los Angeles chapter on a get-out-the-vote campaign in Obama's behalf.
• After Obama’s election as President in November 2008, Evans and some fellow Code Pink representatives traveled to Iran at the personal invitation of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
• On June 19, 2009, Evans visited the White House and met with Buffy Wicks, the deputy of Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett. That same month, Evans visited the White House residence.
• In the fall of 2009, Evans, at a San Francisco fundraiser for Obama, personally gave the President a propaganda package compiled from her recent trip to Afghanistan, where she had met with the Taliban. The next day, Evans was given a briefing by Obama's deputy chief of staff.
• In Novmber 2009, when Obama announced his plan to send additional U.S. troops to Afghanistan, his staffcoordinated with Evans on the matter of how the anti-war left's dissent against that policy should be expressed.

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.
