From a clearinghouse site on radical leftist/marxist Bay Area organizations:

YOUTH EMPOWERMENT CENTER / CORPORATE DESTRUCTION CLUSTERS

Description: Anti-capitalist money-funnel for radical youth indoctrination groups founded in Oakland, California in 2000, by foundation-guided merger of four existing youth organizing groups and based on the Tides Center fiscal-sponsorship model with a half million dollars of foundation money. YEC is fiscal sponsor of the four founding groups:

C-Beyond (a Tides Center project - radical organizers) Youth Force Coalition (anti-prison group) SOUL - School of Unity and Liberation (racial / economic justice group) Underground Railroad (art and culture for revolution) and subsequent groups:

Students Transforming and Resisting Corporations (STARC) (activist group) Resources for Youth Students and Trainers (RESYST) (Gill Foundation donation for queer youth training and education workshops)

Youth Empowerment Center Board of Directors: Harmony Goldberg, President; Anthony "Van" Jones, Secretary; Adam Gold, Treasurer; Cindy Weisner, Director; Lateefah Simon, Director

I guess this is yet ANOTHER ONE which his name mistakenly was put on the membership. Comrade Van did not read the documents. Did not understand which meetings he was attending. Did not fully read the meetings of the minutes he himself, or other correspondence or documents he would write as the organization's stated Secretary and Board member. Well, I guess all can be forgiven.

Seriously, if the FBI or SECRET SERVICE had any knowledge of this during the hiring or discovery phases, and yet the White House hired anyway, we need to know precisely who would have waved of the invariable FBI or SECRET SERVICE INFORMATION on Anthony K. Jones as a part of these radical, anti-government, subversive organizations--membership which creates national security risks.

These security lapses potentially endanger our President.

I think Congress should get RIGHT INTO THIS after Labor Day with hearings and investigations and FOIA requests of how all this could happen.

“These security lapses potentially endanger our President.”

Unless of course POtuS is behind waiving them...in which case he is NOT defending us from enemies foreign and domestic...if you get my drift...and THAT is the trail I would like to see followed...

Energy and Climate Commissar Carol Browner, one of 14 leaders of Socialist International's Commission for a Sustainable World Society, has been removed from SI's website.

Wikipedia's extensive bio makes no reference to her leadership position at Socialist International.

As Energy Commissar she outranks the Energy Secretary who is in charge of nuclear secrets.

What security clearance do these Commissars have?

Can't stop repeating that jingle: "Ho-ho-ho, Green Job Czar!"

I am being tactical here as you know. ;-)

Really, this guy is BAAAAD news.

Same goes for Van Jones.

Actually, nothing can be "erased" from Wikipedia.

They just dont know that.

You need editor's rights. Anyone can sign up and get them and see what (and more importantly, WHO) has gone in and changed things on Wikipedia. You can also cut and past old versions of what was up and then disseminate within the blogosphere. And, at the end of the day, you can also have fun and just restore the conversial word/text to Wikipedia, and keep restoring after they keep deleting until they get tired of this.

In fact, that reminds me. It seems VAN JONES' page on Wikipedia is in dire need of an, er, uh, "update?", shall we say.....

the TIDES foundation? Isn’t that associated with Barbara
Streisand?

If this country had the kind of journalism the journalists profess themselves to be--govt watchdog for the people, and if they weren't in the current admin's tank--they would link Valerie Jarrett's comments about scouting Jones since Oakland (2001) and broadcast the conclusion that he's EXACTLY who they want in the admin.

But I'm not as naive now as I was.

And John Kerry’s wife who is a very big wig in the organization and donor from the Heinz fortune.

[tet68]

Say, that’s right, I remember reading about that during
Kerry’s run.

This sounds like a lovely group./s
