Van Jones: On the 9/11 Attacks, Not Just a ‘Truther,’ a ‘Deserver’ (AmeriKKKa "deserved" attack!)

The "resignation" shortly after midnight on Sunday morning of President Obama's "green jobs czar" Van Jones has generally been seen as a convenient holiday weekend move.

By Friday, after White House Secretary Robert Gibbs would only say that he still was a part of the administration, it was obvious that Jones's resignation was only a matter of time. The 9/11 truther and other evidence accumulated by Glenn Beck, Gateway Pundit, and others was simply overwhelming.

But it seems to me that it would have been more convenient had the White House waited until early Sunday afternoon to announce Jones's resignation. Given the establishment media's near blackout of his past statements and actions, it's likely that the Sunday morning network talk shows would have avoided Jones completely, or would have given the topic very short shrift. A Sunday afternoon resignation would have been much more invisible -- except for something that came out on Saturday evening.

I believe that Jones's resignation may have been moved up by 12 hours or so. That's because on Saturday evening, Scott Johnson at Powerline presented proof that roughly 40 hours after the 9/11 terrorist attacks occurred, avowed Communist Jones publicly declared that the U.S. deserved what happened. I'm not kidding.

Jones's statements are the functional equivalents of Jeremiah Wright's outrageous "America's chickens coming home to roost" rant at Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ. They need to be more widely known.

Here they are, as reported by a far left web site early in the morning on Wednesday, September 13, 2001, covering an event in Oakland held on the evening of September 12:

Let's repeat: "The bombs the government drops in Iraq are the bombs that blew up in New York City."

Keep in mind that Jones had to be referring to either the first Gulf War or no-fly-zone incidents, as the war to remove Saddam Hussein did not begin until 2003.

Charleston Daily Mail blogger Don Surber had this reaction to Powerline's post a short time later: "(This is) the smoking gun that will either bring down Van Jones or Barack Obama. It is President Obama’s choice." That choice was obvious.

From a White House media strategy standpoint, Jones's dead-of-night resignation unfortunately ensured that he would be a topic of conversation Sunday morning, but it minimized the chance of Powerline's bombshell becoming part of the discussion. Sure, David Axelrod had to go through the discomfort of laughably claiming that "this was Van Jones' own decision. That's a mere occupational annoyance. Given the chattering class's reluctance all along to tell viewers the full truth about Jones, his resignation gave them an opening to change the topic from "What did he say and do?" to "Whose fault is it?" (meanie bloggers, talkers, and Republicans, not necessarily in that order) and "How will this hurt the administration?" (of course, in their view and with their weeks of help, not much). No additional information about Jones himself was necessary to fuel that discussion.

The White House did the best it could with a bad situation suddenly made much worse by Powerline, and the media met the White House's see-no-new-evil wishes/expectations. Mission accomplished: Few people know that Jones believed, and still presumably does (in the context of everything else, why shouldn't we?), that America deserved the 9/11 attacks. You can make book that the Associated Press, the New York Times, and the rest of the establishment press will ignore what you've seen here.

One thing we don't know is how aware of Jones's "deserver" views Obama close left-hand adviser Valerie Jarrett was when she made this statement in mid-August:

So, Van Jones. We were so delighted to be able to recruit him into the White House. We were watching him, uh, really, he’s not that old, for as long as he’s been active out in Oakland. And all the creative ideas he has. And so now, we have captured that. And we have all that energy in the White House.

If we're to believe Jarrett's boast, the answer is "very."

Note: I did not include a 9/11 picture of the Pentagon only because of space limitations, and I intend no slight to the memory of that attack or those who lost loved ones it.

Van Jones at a rally in Oakland, CA, September 13, 2001, rally’s purpose was to:

Mourn and Organize Against Racist Violence Committed by US Government

“The bombs the government drops in Iraq are the bombs that blew up in New York City,” said Van Jones, director of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, who also warned against forthcoming violence by the Bush Administration. “The US cannot bomb its way out of this one. Safety at home requires justice abroad.”

“Everyone should be as wise as these inner-city youth here today,” Van Jones concluded. “We all have more in common with the working people of the earth than we do with George Bush or Colin Powell.”

No difference between him and Wright.

First of all, like all demogogues-in-waiting, Team Obama, and their leader, the MIghty O, think that their election, (highly suspicious on many levels in itself), constituted even more than a MANDATE for “remaking America”: in their feverish brains, it was the OPPORTUNITY to take the stage,
“FINALLY”, and get the entire thwarted Left Wing Agenda instituted.It was basically taken to be a certification for Revolution. People like Van Jones, virtually UNKNOWN even to the majority of voters who went for Obama, have been waiting in the wings, ready to be brought onboard. Thanks to the tenacity of a few people, like Glenn Beck, he’s been
exposed, and forced to resign, which he did before the rest of the truth about him could make its way into “the News”. The MSM doesn’t report stuff like this except on the most superficial level, contrived to make the resignation look like it was over something else entirely:
not unlike Gov. McGreevy’s resignation here in NJ, which was communicated directly to the people by McGreevy, with the opening words “I am a Gay American”, as if THAT’S what the “scandal” was about.

“Saturday evening, Scott Johnson at Powerline presented proof that roughly 40 hours after the 9/11 terrorist attacks occurred, avowed Communist Jones publicly declared that the U.S. deserved what happened. I’m not kidding.”

Well that kind of destroys the idea that he “didn’t know what he was signing.”

As far as the Van Jones apologists go, and they are the usual suspects, I’m tired of liars lying. These people are willing to bend any reality to fit their political agendas. The White House was trying so hard to limit the damage, that Jones resigned in the middle of the night, in the middle of a three-day holiday weekend. The Jones apologists are hucksters, just as Jones is.

[Sarah 2012]

More proof that zero is a racist. Look at the people he puts into his circle. Look at the people he has put into his life in the past.

It’s a disgusting pattern!

Let us cling to our God and our guns! *spits* You mock us and you mock God!

[nwrep]

I have to remind everyone - that the Communist charge just does not faze the Democrats anymore. Republicans have been accusing Democrats of being Communists since the Truman administration. So digging up just another communist sympathizing evidence on someone is not enough.

[Miss Didi]

I don’t know if it was already posted but Glenn told the Friends this morning that he will be exposing another czar today...and people will go to jail!

[StarFan]

Amazing how the DUmmies all think he resigned for his "asshole" comment.

How could they think otherwise? Initially when it was covered by cable news (including fox) that was all they offered and it was the big bad insulted republicans looking for his head. Even today as the MSM is shamed into covering it, it's portrayed as a man who has apologized twice but to no avail.

I'm waiting to see when Rev. Wright's newest statement that the racist right wing is preventing poor black folks from getting health care will get air time.

[Moose Burger]

Of course they think that. They want to feel safe. Of course they know what’s it all about, and the denial blocks it. If they weren’t set to denial then the shock of knowing Jones is only the first of many to be, ehem, “outed” (out he goes) as a communist would melt their heads.

[Earthdweller]

So..he thinks it was an inside job.....and his commie buddies did it?

[Mr. Mojo]

< So Van Jones thinks that Bush ordered 9/11, but at the same time we deserved 9/11.

> Just as Muslims can believe two mutually exclusive things....

Such as believing the Holocaust was a myth, but at the same time celebrating its execution.

Liberals and fanatical Mohammedans -- kissing cousins.

Who did the FBI reports on Van Jones - who over-ruled the findings?

[GOPJ]

You're wrong on this...

I've never met the person - liberal or conservative - who felt our country "deserved" to have thousands of our citizens burned to death ...

Van Jones and the liberal haters in Washington are extreme. If you think this is "nothing" - you have a serious problem, nwrep.

Who received the Van Jones FBI reports and who over-ruled the findings?

[GOPJ]

Initially when it was covered by cable news (including fox) that was all they offered and it was the big bad insulted republicans looking for his head. Even today as the MSM is shamed into covering it, it's portrayed as a man who has apologized twice but to no avail.

The MSM only has credibility to sell. The more people discover the many ways they lie - the less credibility they have... Is it some kind of death wish thing? They want the news business destroyed? I just don't get it.

Well the Messiah did say to judge him by the people he surrounds himself with.

Long time gone to start the judging.

WRIGHT VAN JONES OBAMA FARAKHAN...THE RACIST ANTI-AMERICAN PRO-MUSLIM connection is in the WH.

Watch out!

Radical leftism is not dead further more he is fueled by racialism(anti-white frustrations)and islamism...

[GOPJ]

Here are a few of the lines from hate-filled anti-white, anti-American, anti-Israeli recording by Van Jones and the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights:

" The American way, manufactured by these white folks in office. By these rich men here to mock us. The United States is a stolen land led by right-wing, war hungry, oil thirsty. And when it's all said and done they still can't clean their own place because they got people of color playing servant to do that sh*t for them... The true terrorists are made in the US, in this police state... The US is a crack-fiend for oil. And they're ready to rape, kill, assault, rob anybody and everybody...

Bombing babies in the night. Two wrongs don't make a right... The US needs to exit its colonies in Iraq, in the region and finally in Israel.

Van Jones: At this point. The end of the occupation. The right of return of the Palestinian people. These are critical dividing lines in human rights. We have to be here. No American would put up with an Israeli-style occupation of their hometown for 53 days let alone 54 years. US tax dollars are funding violence against people of color inside the US borders and outside the US borders."
