Marxists and Socialists have used the “Green” movements for thier own ends for a LONG time.

Note this quoye:
“We must embrace Environmentalism, for Socialism to survive”- Hans-Jochen Vogel, Chairman of the West German Social Democratic Party-1989

Gorbachev said in 1987 that ENVIRONMENTALISM would be the vehicle for Socialist control of the world.

The Religion of Climate Change is simply a vehicle to that end, and people like this are only too happy to use it for political goals.

"...his critics on the right could find no common ground with him."

Mr. Podesta:

What "common ground" can you possibly have with a person who demands part of what you own as a matter of his right, without benefit of having earned it?

C.A.P. is the home of people who call themselves "progressives" in order to disguise their true nature; which is that of common thieves.

Van Jones was not fired because he called Republicans dirty names - every "progressive" in public life does that on a daily basis. He was fired because one intrepid reporter did the work that the lapdog news media refused to do, and uncovered Jones' radical agenda and - by replaying his own recorded words - demonstrated the beliefs that motivate him.

That is not a "smear campaign"; it is telling the truth. That the Left lives in a fantasy bubble world in which they are the persecuted and put-upon, instead of the aggressors and liars they truly are, is not our problem. It's a losers game, and we're not playing any more.

“Unfortunately, his critics on the right could find no common ground with him.”

But the Center for American Progress has no problem finding common ground with and avowed communist, anti-U.S., 9/11 Truther. How instructive.

What exactly is Soros’ game, anyway? Is it merely that having spent his entire life thinking only of himself, he wants to be remembered as a great guy?

Clearly, Van was the subject of a right-wing smear campaign shrouded in hypocrisy.

If the videotapes he appeared on & the CD's he himself distributed & the high-res images of the petitions Jones himself admits he signs were bogus 'smears', then why in heaven's name did Barack Obama LET his brilliant & talented Green Czar resign? Why wouldn't our POTUS stand up & courageously defend this fine upstanding patriot from all these unwarranted attacks from the racist rightwing nutbag republican smear-machine?

Since you know him well, Mr. Podesta, perhaps you can explain this to the American people: does Barack Obama always cave so easily whenever just a few alleged racists on the marginalized extremes such as Glenn Beck merely say 'boo'? Surely that can't be the case, can it? Is our POTUS, the most powerful officeholder in the land, perhaps really an undercover Oreo who sacrificed a fellow brother to the racist wolves for no real reason other than to appease a few white supremacist crazies? Is our President nothing more than a pliant tool of the extreme right-wing racist media himself? Is that what you're trying to suggest here, Mr. Podesta? Because it surely seems so.

Hey, I have an idea, Mr. Podesta. On September 11, let's commemorate the anniversary of that tragic day by blaring coast to coast the videos of your new colleague's many 'poignant' statements on 9.11. That ought to make the American people really see the injustice of what's been done to Van Jones, the man you say is an innocent patriot who's been unfairly besmirched by liars & inadequately defended by his own former boss & dear friend, the President.

“So pointing out Van Jones’s own words is a “smear-campaign”???”

They better get used to it.

This is not going to stand. People are finding their voice, they are questioning and they are calling it as they see them. If that means stepping on the toes of political correctness, so be it. Actually, it could use a few well placed kicks.

Thank you Glenn, Rush, Sarah and dozens of others for the leads and inspiration. Thank you Founding Fathers for crafting the best policy in the world.

ALERT Keep in mind: Soros runs a network of global offshore organizations. Be on the lookout for Ohaha funneling billions of tax dollars to Jones, Soros, and Podesta ---in the name of "progress."

The IRS has targeted non-profits as hotbeds of tax evasion, money laundering, and government fraud.

The range of possible crimes by this trio is mind-boggling: multiple conspiracies, kickbacks, tax evasion (all of it to facilitate money laundering)? Conspiracy counts alone might include mail fraud, electronic fraud, and accounting fraud.

L/E might consider:

(a) conspiracy to defraud the IRS, and evade US banking laws,

(b) international money laundering,

(c) conspiracy to commit money laundering, and,

(d) aiding and abetting the preparation of false federal/state income tax returns.

Authorities might examine the n/p's receipts to falsely verify bogus charitable contributions (kickbacks) and multiple conspiracies and transfers of funds as part of a money-laundering conspiracy.

External audits might show off-the-books bank accounts that were accessed solely by insiders, and that government-funds were used in various illegal schemes that might have integrated:

(1) money laundering,

(2) tax evasion (stolen money is taxable),

(3) violations of US banking and currency laws,

(4) conspiracy to commit wire fraud,

(5) commercial bribery in various financial schemes,

(6) establishing secret offshore bank accounts outside the purview of the IRS and US banking laws,

(7) fraudulent and casual accounting practices,

(8) non-existent financial oversight,

(9) having a hidden financial interest in companies faking business with the company,

(10) putting phantom employees on the payroll (money laundering).

Co-conspirators could easily launder proceeds from foreign and domestic drug cartels and organized crime activities.

There's a zillion ways to launder money. Drug monies could have been disguised by re-routing monies then wire-transferring through a maze of complex telecommunications' systems equipped with call-forwarding and voice mail systems, and numerous postal and commercial mail boxes..........and perhaps money-transfer systems that operate in ethnic enclaves and places like NYC's Diamond District.

Investigators may discover numerous falsified official documents.

Disguising government funds by re-routing through a network of domestic and international bank accounts using counterfeit checks.....opening commercial bank accounts in the name of bogus businesses and wire-transferring and/or depositing gov't checks into those accounts.

Phony checks could have had invalid bank routing numbers, forged endorsements, or been drawn on the proceeds of other counterfeit checks deposited in other bank accounts. Before banks discovered the fraud, the funds might have been transferred out of the accounts……probably offshore----leaving banks unable to recoup their losses.

State and federal tax authorities could have been swindled. In an international scheme with offshore ties, co-conspirators or subsets of them, might obtain hundreds of taxpayer identification numbers for phantom citizens with worldwide addresses, and used the information to evade US taxes and banking laws.

In a classic fraud, co-conspirators might keep two (or more) sets of books. Methods may have included limited-recourse loans to artificially inflate "asset value," to fraudulently borrow real money based on “assets” that didn’t really exist.

ACTIONABLE OFFENSES MIGHT INCLUDE:
(1) Encouraging the filing of false documents;
(2) Rigging government funding to benefit a special interest.
(3) Forcing taxpayers to underwrite crimes against the state without their knowledge or consent (constitutes the crime of second degree coercion of taxpayers, and should beprosecuted at once);
(4) Not reporting crimes against the state (aiding and abetting).

THE BIGGEST FRAUD---non-profits writing checks to other non-profits.

REPORT TAX FRAUD AND TAX LAW VIOLATIONS HERE:
IRS TOLL-FREE 1-800-829-0433----you may remain anonymous.
EMAIL----OAAG.Tax@tax.USDOJ.gov

The IRS should determine if all taxes were paid (stolen money is taxable).

I have observed a moving away from the coddling of race-based grievance.

In other words, whitey ain’t cowed anymore by an accusation of racism when he knows he’s not.

Quoting a Commie is dirty politics. America can’t handle the truth. As Jane Fonda once said, we’d all “love” to live under Communism if we only TRULY knew what it was.

Van's chief tormentor Glenn Beck, who spent weeks engaged in vicious name-calling, retains his perch at Fox News after calling the president a racist who has "a deep-seated hatred for white people"

So what? Anyone who disagrees with this President is called a racist.

Indeed.

Quite frankly, given the lack of OldMedia coverage, I’m surprised Jones was forced out.

Van Jones is the crack in the veneer of BO’s marxist cadres. You notice, noone has answered the why and how of this person ever getting to where he was. Keep up the pressure. BO says he don’t look like the rest of our Presidents. BS, it isn’t that he’s half black, it’s that he’s ALL RED!!!!!!

***I look forward to working with Van to move our country towards a clean energy economy that empowers and lifts up all Americans.****

So, just how many people has Van Jones lifted out of poverty and gotten them stable “Green Jobs”!

Or is it all talk and no results, all blow and no go.

The Center For American Progress seems to be quite organized and well funded.
