Well, well, well… Look who has been caught with their hand in the ‘progressive’ cookie jar… None other than the Department of Justice. They have cast off the outdated red, white and blue for a sleek black masthead with a really cool Marxist/Progressive quote:
Quote:
The common law is the will of Mankind issuing from the Life of the People
End Quote
Catchy, huh? Just one tiny little (too small to be relevant obviously) point – the quote is from C. Wilfred Jenks, who in the 1930′s was a leading proponent of the “international law” movement, which had as its goal to impose a global common law and which backed ‘global workers’ rights.’ Call it Marxism, call it Progressivism, call it Socialism – under any of those names it definitely makes the DOJ look corrupt in their sleek, new black website with Marxist accessories to match.
On the cutting edge of technology and counterterrorism, the site utilizes social networking sites to ‘interact’ with American citizens. Well, I for one feel all warm and fuzzy knowing the DOJ will be watching those ‘dangerous’ bloggers. Oops, I guess I’m one of them. You don’t think they would abuse their surveillance of us do you? If you don’t think so, I have some prime property for you. Just ask…
The quote at the beginning of this post is credited to Jenks, a man who made a place at the collective table for socialists and communists at the U.N., and inspired the global “workers rights movement.” Jenks was a long-time member of the United Nation’s International Labor Organization and the author of a number of globalist tracts, including a set of essays published back in 1958 entitled The Common Law of Mankind. Jenks also belonged to The League of Nations.
From The American Spectator (read the whole article – it is very good):
Quote:
Most telling: Jenks, as director of the ILO is credited with putting in place the first Soviet senior member of the UN organization, and also with creating an environment that allowed the ILO to give “observer status” to the Palestinian Liberation Organization, and to issue anti-Israeli statements, which precipitated efforts by the U.S. Congress to withdraw U.S. membership from the ILO. The U.S. actually did withdraw in the mid-1970s due to the organization’s leftist leanings.
“It was Jenks’s efforts that helped make the ILO a tool of the socialist and communist movement,” says one of the DOJ lawyers. “We used to joke about how fitting it was that this was Janet Reno’s favorite quote to use in speeches, and now the Obama folks think it encapsulates out department’s mission.”
Suggestions to highlight quotes from the U.S. Constitution or Bill of Rights or quotes from the Founders, the Federalist Papers or prominent American jurists were quickly shot down by the Department of Justice’s media and new media teams, according to DOJ sources familiar with the design process, and the White House communications shop was given input to the overall design as well.

There you have it… Founding Fathers need not apply – who needs them when you have a Progressive/Marxist to lead the legal way?
Thanks for letting us know about this TMH.
They’re telling us directly that they’ve transformed our country… putting it right there for all to see. Wonder if it’s coincidence that they changed it right after taking over our nations financial industry?
Sure hope more people wake up and see what’s being put right in front of them. We all need to speak up, speak loudly, and spread the word!!
I notice the DOJ/White House also changed the DOJ seal… it no longer carries America’s colors. On the bright side, at least they didn’t make it purple (SEIU’s color).
Do to another FR post a day or so ago, I went to the DOJ site and did a double take on that quote. Good article.
Where can a person view the new seal? I can’t locate it.
Great post! Thanks.
Are you REALLY surprised? They certainly Do have “audacity.”
Take action:
Department of Justice Main Switchboard - 202-514-2000
Office of the Attorney General Public Comment Line - 202-353-1555
The U.S. Department of [Social] Justice
Black revenge against Whitey is the main course, and that's what Holder and his alien hatemongers are all about.
The Common Law stems from the Natural Law, which as St. Paul said is the Law of God written in the heart of everyone, Christian, Jewish, or pagan.
That’s why the Founders spoke about “inalienable rights,” given to us by God Himself, and not by the Constitution, which simply recognized and was based on those rights.
When these Communist jerks speak about the will of the people, they are really talking about themselves—the Vanguard of the Proletariat, the Nomenklatura, the guys who REALLY know what the people want and need—even though most people think and say differently.

Have you checked out the new DOJ website, complete with a communist/progressive quote on the banner and the American Flag removed and the black motif? Here is what it looks like now:
and here is what it looked like before the Destroyer in Chief changed it:

THank you for the links.
Perhaps they wanted the DOJ site to look more ‘formal’ like the black robes the judges wear in court
or they just wanted to scare the living sh!t out of those who bother to look closely at these things.....
Even in the movies, the really bad guys like say, Darth Vader, wore all black.....
Well, if the left wants to embrace common law, even with a stupid Marxist-sounding motto, I think it would be an improvement.
I mean, common law is fundamentally conservative: I mean habeas corpus, trial by jury, the castle doctrine, deference to precedent. . .
Somehow I think the motto is window-dressing. The left despises common law because it can’t be easily changed to suit their agenda.
The web site looks awful. Very dark and dreary. Almost Darth Vaderish.
One point, though. The seal has not been changed. The image on the home page is a copper version of the seal. There are pictures on other pages of the color seal with red, white, and blue in it.
The Obama-Holder Department of JustUs.
The list, ping
Nachum I love your pings...but they’re scaring the HELL out of me. How did it get this far out of hand in less than two years? How are we going to make it through the next two+?
Five words: Dear God, please help us.
Amen.
1. Why did you remove the beautiful American flag from the home page?I was hoping to discover more about Jenks' political philosophy but didn't have any luck. Was going to include that in the email as a link.2. Why did you put a quote from C. Wilfred Jenks on the home page? “The common law is the will of mankind issuing from the life of the people”
Thanks!
When/if the DOJ responds, I'll post the response here.
Look at the bright side. Now you know there is a 'hell', LOL.
Did they change their name on the logo? Department of Just Us?
LOL!
