Van Jones - Marxist Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

Obama's former Green Jobs Czar Van Jones seems to aspire to be the prime mover to convert the US into a Marxist society. The man who was tossed from his job by the Obama administration (Wow, what kind of lunatic does one need to be to get fired by Obama?) has moved himself on to center stage of the Occupy movement and the Regressive (Progressive, strangely to them) agenda. Aside from his vicious, anti-white, anti-US, anti-middle class, anti-property, etc. positions to which he clings, he does have one very special and effective skill; he can make himself appear to be almost anything depending on what he perceives his current audience to be.

Jones has demonstrated his ability to engage people from all walks of life, pointing out issues with which they, rightfully, (Such as looted and neglected pension funds) have reason to protest. The problem is that Jones has no intention to work for needed reforms, but seeks to overturn the entire cart and bring about a totalitarian society in which property, no matter how much or how little, will become an historical footnote, right along with Western freedom. A big part of Jones' plan is to encourage racial tensions. Chaos that will occur as a result of race-based conflict will go a long way towards the justification of governmental takeovers of our liberties and property.

"Jones, who reportedly studied Ronald Reagan in detail, is a “chameleon” who will engage the public on a faith-based level, offering those who “need help” a peace-loving narrative."

The following are excerpts from the TheBlaze article linked below. Jones makes no bones about making just about anyone who does not conform to his ideas out to be accomplices with the evil, polluting, child-labor using, Capitalists. Conservatives are substituted for Democrats as the people who desired to maintain slavery (and by extension Jim Crow, segregation etc.) since, well, the Left  can't allow their Party to be seen as the bad guys on this issue.

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/van-jones-unloads-conservatives-want-slavery-segregation-children-in-factories-working-at-walmart-mcdonalds-as-bad-as-selling-drugs-plus-beck-is-a-hater/

"In discussing his vision of a utopian economy, Jones made sure to note that anyone who works in factories, fast food industry or Walmart were essentially as bad as drug dealers.

“I started to figure out where are the jobs I can respect, because if you’re out in the neighborhood, and you’re causing problems, and then you know we get you a job and you‘re working for a factory that’s polluting everybody, you’re still causing problems! Just cause you’re doing it on thelegitimate side doesn’t mean that those kids getting cancer and asthma cause of you are any less sick or dead than the ones you were selling drugs to on the illegitimate side. So, we gotta be consistent.”

“Green jobs [where we're putting our people to work] in healthy industries- organic foods, solar panels, weatherizing homes, helping people be healthy. I said I want more work, more wealth, and better health in our communities. The way you get that is not with pollution-based jobs, not having people working at McDonald‘s or Wendy’s selling food that’s not good, not working at Walmart where the people who made those products overseas are being oppressed, but having something that you can say 360 degrees is healthy and positive.” 

On the topic of his political theory, Jones took no time blaming conservatives for many immense wrongs in Americas past

“You always have some Americans that, they don’t want to go forward. ‘We like slavery,‘ or ’we like segregation,‘ or ’we like women not voting,‘ or ’we like the environment being destroyed, we like workers having no rights, we like children in factories…’And they want to conserve, ahem, conserve, ahem, conserve the old ways.

Jones then vaulted the role of progressives and their inevitable victories.

“And then you have people who say ‘no, we can be a better country than this,‘ let’s progress, ahem, let’s progress beyond those old hateful ways. And so that’s always been a debate and a divide, but you know the people who are trying to make America progress always win in the end.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jones also claimed that the Occupy movement, itself a force of destruction, was what saved the nation from being destroyed:
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/van-jones-occupy-saved-the-entire-country-from-destruction/

“[The] Occupy movement pretty much saved the entire country from destruction,” Jones said in aninterview posted online. “Both political parties were barreling toward more austerity, more cutbacks, more pain for the people and more — basically both political parties had managed to converge on this idea of basically no rules for the rich, no rights for the poor, no middle class to speak of. That was basically the agenda, the question was just how much pain how fast.”

Van Jones can not be ignored. As with most if not all Marxists, he is not only terribly ambitious and power-hungry, he has very intention of prohibiting you from having what you want and that for which you have worked. This is the essence of Western Marxists. They are truly more concerned with ensuring, not that they get to live in a Marxist state, but that you do not get to live in a free nation. It is you with whom he is concerned, not himself or other Marxists. It is noteworthy that people such as he do not call for Western nations to finance the emigration of people who adhere to Marxist principles to nations that actually are Marxist. They detest the very existence of free nations that protect the worker from seizures of the fruits of his labor. Jones and Company will gift-wrap their hatred in language carefully scripted to appear geared towards the richest of our citizens while intending to take you down with them. A 21st century Joseph Goebbels, he will accuse the Tea Party, Libertarians, and others who hold what makes America great dearly  as being exactly what he is, a divider, a "hater", a racsist, etc.

The following link has a number of articles and posts concerning Jones, his rants, and his intentions:

Here is another one of Van's rants:

“http://nation.foxnews.com/van-jones/2012/03/22/van-jones-death-great-white-suburbs

"There are two American dreams. There’s one I call the "American Fantasy". Everybody's going to be rich, and we are all going to ride out on our credit cards to the GREAT WHITE SUBURBS, get a McMansion, and buy flat screen TVs to cover up the holes in our lives... that is the American fantasy which is turning into the American nightmare. That is dying out on its own accord, it deserves no defense and it gets no defense and I’m glad it’s going away"

Van has every intention of eliminating suburban communities. Note how he is growing ever-less concerned about veiling his racist beliefs. Those who can afford to purchase homes and live in lower-crime areas that have relatively quiet neighborhoods are the problem. In these locales, people like the convenience of being close to their kid's Little League and other recreational sports fields and enjoy being able to posses a few hundred square feet of grass in which their children can play outside (Or ride bicycles around the block). The facts that these people often sacrificed quite a bit of their lives and fortunes for their education (In Majors that are desired by employers, not, for example Latin-American or whiteness studies, or Critical Race Theory) and often spend much time away from their families at the jobs that pay for these houses has no meaning to Mr. Jones.

Van Jones Runs His Mouth Again

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/van-jones-unloads-on-libertarians-they-hate-the-brown-folk-the-gays-the-lesbians-theyre-anti-immigrant-bigots/

"In citing the Libertarian principle of economic liberty, Jones stated “They’ve taken their despicable ideology and used it a wrecking ball, that they have painted red, white and blue, to smash down every good thing in America.”
Jones continued, “They say they’re Patriots but they hate everybody in America who looks like us. They say they love America but they hate the people, the brown folk, the gays, the lesbians, the people with piercings, ya know ya’ll.”

Rabid Marxist and radical environmentalist Van Jones has been around the block. Most are aware of his brief but extraordinarily professional and gentlemanly tenure as Obama's Green Jobs Czar. While there, he famously referred to Congressional Republicans as "as-----s". This was no off-the -cuff remark or an Obamian open mic incident. He came right out and said it in response to a question from the audience. That and other things, like pretending to be under the impression that the 911 attacks were directly caused by the Bush administration or other dark governmental power and blamed on Muslim terrorists (Truther), lead to his resignation from his position with the Administration.

A quick diversion into the past -

The really sad part is that Van is the product of a Mother and Father who exemplify the American dream:
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/is-van-jones-rebuild-the-dream-book-a-blueprint-for-the-99-spring/

"Passages of the book relive moments Jones shared with his father, described as a “by the boot-strap” school principal who escaped southern segregation by joining the U.S. military in a law enforcement capacity and who later went on to put himself through college. Jones benefited from his parents’ tenacity and propensity for higher learning, subsequently earning entry into one of the nation’s most prestigious educational institutions, Yale University.

During and after his time at Yale, he completely abandoned the whole concept of hard work and sacrifice that was practiced by his parents.

After his resignation, Ol' Van got right back on the horse, lending his name to and pushing the occupy movement.

This was his most recent appearance and where he made the comments quoted up top:
http://allinforthe99percent.org/

The first comment itself, as have others that have become increasingly more common among Leftists, imply that the speaker believes that economic liberty not only was not a crucial and core piece of our nation's original structure and vision, but that it is somehow diametrically opposed to what the US is about. Since arguing against his point would be somewhat like arguing with someone who asserts that it is possible to jump into a lake without getting wet, I will refrain from any real refutation. None is necessary and I would prefer not to dignify his comment with a response. Suffice to say that Mr. Jones knows that economic liberty was one of the most important of issues for those who fought for, and were involved in the making of, our nation. He just hopes that you do not and that you will believe him

As I have noted in earlier posts, the Left routinely engages in Projection. Anyone who took an Intro to Psychology class is familiar with the term. Those who are fully aware of what they do wrong will put on a show and accuse their opponents (Or just an innocent bystander) of all the wrongs in which he or she engages. When applied to politics, it tends to work better with people who have been taught little or nothing about themselves and their society. As you can imagine, the US is particularly ripe for such drivel. All levels of US education, from colleges to elementary school, have been purged of any teaching or textbook-type materials that provide the information needed to understand the foundations of our society. Mr. Jones runs around claiming that those who advocate economic liberty are not the patriots. In doing so, he seeks to create diversions from the obvious fact that it is his ideas and agendas that stand in complete contrast to core values of our nation.

Here is another one of Van's rants:

“http://nation.foxnews.com/van-jones/2012/03/22/van-jones-death-great-white-suburbs

I for one, did not buy a flat-screen TV until last month because I habitually put off such purchases until I know that doing so will not take away from paying for something more important.

I have no doubt that Van's answer to the suburbs is to implement as much of Agenda 21 as possible. Those who are unfamiliar with the plan can obtain fairly good summaries about the plan to eliminate the suburban communities, reduce rural populations to a bare minimum necessary to work on the state or corporate-owned farms, and move the displaced into the cities where they can be more effectively managed and controlled on the link below.

http://thehotgates480bc.blogspot.com/2012/03/agenda-21-iclei-creation-and-purpose.html

The above post is about the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI).

This loosely-knit but influential group works to tie local communities in the with UN plan for programs such as "Sustainable Development", drastic reduction of water consumption in households, movement of people into the cities, and the rigid controlling and the inevitable and consequential loss of privately owned land. A founder of the organization is extensively quoted there.

Katyn Forest Massacre Covered up by US

Before the post, I must note that after ten years, we still will not admit the existence of the threat of Islam. I plan to have that as my topic tomorrow. Since I was a law enforcement officer and a NJ National Guardsman at the time, I will detail some of my experiences with that period.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2012/09/10/memos-suggest-us-hid-evidence-soviet-massacre-during-wwii/?test=latestnews

This one is very ugly.

It appears that the US went far out of its way to hide from the world the knowledge of what happened in the Katyn Forest. In this Soviet-occupied region of Poland, over 20,000 Polish Army officers were shot. I recall reading some details many years ago about the mega-crime.

If my memory serves me correctly, it was actually in Reader's Digest. Don't laugh too much - their willingness to print credible reports that the mainstream media would not earned a cameo of a parody on Fox's The Simpsons. In an episode that finds Homer discovering the joys of reading, he gets hooked on a fictional periodical "Reading Digest". As he flips through one of the issues, the viewer gets a brief flash of an article titled "Can We Trust Bermuda?"(It was hilarious).

The actual Reader's Digest was almost alone among periodicals aimed at the general public that dared to report that daily life sucked in the USSR of the 70's and 80's. While Marxist-sympathizers in the US claimed that the quantity of shopping lines in the Soviet Union were a consequence of too much discretionary spending money in the hands of the Soviet worker (Eerily like what the Progressives/other Leftists do today with other Socialist nations), Reader's Digest was straight about the facts. Food lines amounted to strict food rationing; a line to order, a line to pay, and a line to get your food. Lines for toilet paper were not faked, they regularly occurred in the worker's paradise. The place was barely existing and fast approaching its ultimate collapse.

The Katyn Forest article report (The old one) that the system for killing the most qualified and educated of the Polish Officers was brutally efficient. To prevent damage to the pistols used to liberate the Polish people from their class oppressors, they were rotated after a few shots on order to allow the barrels to cool down. It seems that, once the Geramns advanced into Poland and Russia, Stalin and his boys grew quite concerned that people were going to discover the scene of the crime. This is exactly what happened:

-From the Fox News article:

Bolding is added.

It was May 1943 in the Katyn forest, a part of Russia the Germans had seized from the Soviets in 1941. A group of American and British POWs were taken against their will by their German captors to witness a horrifying scene at a clearing surrounded by pine trees: mass graves tightly packed with thousands of partly mummified corpses in well-tailored Polish officers uniforms.

The Germans knew that they would be balmed and there fore needed to create some witnesses. They also probbaly hoped that the US would realize that Uncle Joe wasn't such a nice ally after all. 
The Americans — Capt. Donald B. Stewart and Lt. Col. John H. Van Vliet Jr. — hated the Nazis and didn't want to believe the Germans. They had seen German cruelty up close, and the Soviets, after all, were their ally. The Germans were hoping to use the POWs for propaganda, and to drive a wedge between the Soviet Union and its Western Allies.

But returning to their POW camps, the Americans carried a conviction that they had just witnessed overwhelming proof of Soviet guilt. The corpses' advanced state of decay told them the killings took place much earlier in the war, when the Soviets still controlled the area. They also saw Polish letters, diaries, identification tags, news clippings and other objects — none dated later than spring of 1940 — pulled from the graves. The evidence that did the most to convince them was the good state of the men's boots and clothing: That told them the men had not lived long after being captured.

Stewart testified before the 1951 Congressional committee about what he saw, and Van Vliet wrote reports on Katyn in 1945 and 1950, the first of which mysteriously disappeared. But the newly declassified documents show that both sent secret encoded messages while still in captivity to army intelligence with their opinion of Soviet culpability. It's an important revelation because it shows the Roosevelt administration was getting information early on from credible U.S. sources of Soviet guilt — yet still ignored it for the sake of the alliance with Stalin.

One shows head of Army intelligence, Gen. Clayton Bissell, confirming that some months after the 1943 visit to Katyn by the U.S. officers, a coded request by MIS-X, a unit of military intelligence, was sent to Van Vliet requesting him "to state his opinion of Katyn." Bissell's note said that "it is also understood Col. Van Vliet & Capt. Stewart replied."
MIS-X was devoted to helping POWs held behind German lines escape; it also used the prisoners to gather intelligence.

A statement from Stewart dated 1950 confirms he received and sent coded messages to Washington during the war, including one on Katyn: "Content of my report was aprx (approximately): German claims regarding Katyn substantially correct in opinion of Van Vliet and myself."
The newly uncovered documents also show Stewart was ordered in 1950 — soon before the Congressional committee began its work — never to speak about a secret message on Katyn.

Krystyna Piorkowska, author of the recently published book "English-Speaking Witnesses to Katyn: Recent Research," discovered the documents related to the coded messages more than a week ago. She was one of several researchers who saw the material ahead of the public release.

She had already determined in her research that Van Vliet and Stewart were "code users" who had gotten messages out about other matters. But this is the first discovery of them communicating about Katyn, she said.

Another Katyn expert aware of the documents, Allen Paul, author of "Katyn: Stalin's Massacre and the Triumph of Truth," told the AP the find is "potentially explosive." He said the material does not appear in the record of the Congressional hearings in 1951-52, and appears to have also been suppressed.

He argues that the U.S. cover-up delayed a full understanding in the United States of the true nature of Stalinism — an understanding that came only later, after the Soviets exploded an atomic bomb in 1949 and after Poland and the rest of Eastern Europe were already behind the Iron Curtain.

"The Poles had known long before the war ended what Stalin's true intentions were," Paul said. "The West's refusal to hear them out on the Katyn issue was a crushing blow that made their fate worse."

The historical record carries other evidence Roosevelt knew in 1943 of Soviet guilt. One of the most important messages that landed on FDR's desk was an extensive and detailed report British Prime Minister Winston Churchill sent him. Written by the British ambassador to the Polish government-in-exile in London, Owen O'Malley, it pointed to Soviet guilt at Katyn.


Starting with the ignoring of Stalin's purposeful creation of the Ukrainian famine and later picking up speed, with FDR and right on through the 50's and later, the US was far from a champion of liberty and freedom, most notably when it came to Leftist regimes.  

While the US was portrayed as overcome with anti-Communist hysteria, and McCarthyism was applied as a term of denigration, the reality was that of a US government that was staffed by many high-ranking (Including FDR) admirers or sympathizers of Marxism and the Soviet Union. This situation continued decade after decade and may have not reached its full extent even with the Leftist horror-show that runs the asylum today. The Cultural Revolution is almost entirely ignored, the Khmer Rouge genocide is paid lip service from time to time, and Stalinist Russia gets for the most part a free pass.We actually have had an avowed admirer of Mao working directly for Obama.

It is time that we recognize the influence of Progressives ad other Leftists in our government. Note that the situation has gotten so out of hand that people who will insist that Sean Hannity (Of all people -he is a regular guy of regular guys) is a radical rightist and somehow have the gall to describe themselves in mild terms as Left-of-center. The latter term in modern parlance means a half-step below full-blown Communism.

Van Jones - Obama "You didn't Build It" Was Patriotic

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/van-jones-calls-obamas-you-didnt-build-your-business-comments-the-deepest-form-of-patriotism/

Our Marxist wolf in sheep's clothing continues to issue yet more Orwellian pronouncements-

Last week, Obama had started in on people who had risked precious money and and even more precious time in building businesses. When Elizabeth Warren had implied last year that such people owed almost everything to the government that had paid for the infrastructure that made such endeavors an admittedly smoother process, I assumed that the Left would quietly put that claim to rest in the election year.

While no one disputes that roads, rail lines, etc. make for an environment that is much more conducive to business, Warren of course was plainly lying in pretending that business builders do not already make tremendous contributions to the public treasuries. They pay income taxes, employ people who do the same, pay yet more sales taxes and indirectly employ others when purchasing materiel for their businesses, pay property taxes either directly or through their leasing fees, and often make significant charitable contributions. The latter includes both general types and local ones such as youth athletic programs, of which parents are the direct beneficiaries as such contributions allow the local leagues to keep registration costs digestible.

I personally chose a career in law enforcement. If our nation and my state/county did not have successful businesses, local governments would never posses the financial resources to pay employees in that line of work a decent salary. In a  nutshell, people who built businesses essentially  allowed me to pursue a career that I liked. If these did not exist, I would have started my own business and forgotten about enjoying my work as much as I did. I would not have been a cop in Honduras.

I thought about posting on Obama's "You didn't build it"* comments, but chose to avoid another post on stupid Obama statements. If I wanted to post on every moronic claim that the man makes, I would have to rename the blog to reflect that it is mostly about him.

*http://www.theblaze.com/stories/president-obama-if-youve-got-a-business-you-didnt-build-that-somebody-else-made-that-happen/

Van Jones, however couldn't keep his trap shut and not only defended Obama's remarks, but referred to them as examples of "deep patriotism". We are smack dab in the middle of an Orwellian world or Newspeak and Doublethink.

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/van-jones-calls-obamas-you-didnt-build-your-business-comments-the-deepest-form-of-patriotism/

"But Jones, being a big government progressive, couldn’t agree with his former boss more. And he actually thinks the “whole world” agrees too.

“This is the deepest form of patriotism,” Jones told Schultz. “Here you have the President of the United States saying something that is absolutely obvious to the whole world and everybody in this country: America‘s government has been a partner to America’s business community**, that is a part of the beauty of America. It is deep patriotism to point that out.”

He continued, “When he starts showing the most love and the most enthusiasm for the country, that’s when they go after him.' "

**Note Jones' spin on Obama's words. While goofball came right out and said "You didn't build it" and gave much of the credit to a teacher or other person who likely earned a fair salary when instructing the future business owner in his youth, Jones tries to soften the blow after it occurred and refers to a partnership of sorts. 

There is a term for a system based on governmental and business partnerships - Fascism.

It is an interesting fact that most of the earliest prime movers in our struggle for Independence were themselves businessmen who engaged in protest in part because they were not receiving any help from their governments, local or not.

Also, if another person was indeed so influential as to be indispensable for a future business builder, then the business owner should give back to that individual, not the government as Barry would have it.

One should also note that, completely contrary to what Obama said (shocking) the Internet was not created so that businesses could "make money off the Internet". It was created so that governmental agencies such as the Department of Defense could share information. This was later expanded to include libraries, colleges, etc., . The fact that, once it was open to all, that businesses took advantage of this system without hurting anyone does nothing to prove that their use was the reason for its creation.

Van Jones likes to smile and pretend that he is just another nice guy with opposing views. Lots of bad guys smile when they are either conning you or planning to hurt you. Jones is doing both.

Muslim in Oslo Praises the Murder of Theo Van Gogh

http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2012/03/uncomfortable-side-of-freedom-of-speech.html

"When Mullah Krekar held his appeal in Kurdish and Arabic in Eidsvold square in Oslo on Friday afternoon. He used the opportunity to repeatedly praise and honor the killing of the controversial Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh, according to NRK’s dagsrevyen (TV news program).

Van Gogh was killed on November 2, 2004 on the streets of Amsterdam by a Muslim fundamentalist, who reacted strongly against Van Gogh’s criticism of Islam in his films. The killer is now serving a life sentence in a prison in the Netherlands."

I have very little to say about this post. Please watch the video clip on the link. 

Norway, one of the nations from which the vigorous Northmen*came to make their mark, is paralyzed by an aggressive and violent Muslim population. This nation, which has no colonial past for which anyone could claim the nation needs to make amends, is fast becoming a country of oppressed indigenous Scandinavians. 

The people of Norway are known to be neat, tidy, good-natured, and orderly and respectful of authority. Those whom the Norwegian government has brought in for "cultural enrichment", (Since Norway had no appreciable culture of which to speak) have grown increasingly, vocal. aggressive, and violent. Calls for Sharia law are becoming more and more common, as are arsons, murders, gang-rapes, and more in this nation of law-abiding people.

*I avoid the term Viking since that specifically applies to the campaigning actions of those Scandinavians who went "a-viking" The ones that went  eastward (Mostly Danes and Swedes) and set up strongholds and states in the Baltic and Russia were called Varangians.** The Finnish word for the invaders was "Rus", which came to mean the people who live in the region of the early Viking Principality in todays Russia. The most accurate term for those who went west are Northmen or Norse.

**Many of these eastward-moving Northmen found employment in the service of the Byzantine Empire, where they served as elite troops and Imperial bodyguards. (Varangian Guard). Interestingly, that corps of soldiers came to be largely staffed by Anglo-Saxons, who found new jobs after being displaced of power and land in England by the invasion of the Normans - also direct descendants of Danes who had settled in Normandy France. The name of that region aptly describes the people who were ceded that area by the French King, who preferred to have a vassal as opposed to yet another campaign to fight.

Unlike Greek and other native Byzantine soldiers of that time, the Northman, who placed a high value on his word and his loyalty, could be counted on to remain true to the Lord to whom he had sworn his oath. The constant intrigue and assassination plots that were a feature of the Byzantine word made such troops an asset.

Van Jones Accuses Tea Party of Doing What He Does

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/van-jones-slams-the-tea-party-again-the-so-called-patriots-smashing-down-every-american-institution/

Van Jones' Modus Operandi is not hard to discern; he routinely accuses his opponents of doing what he does. 


It seems that, each time he has spoken in the last few months, he has leveled charges against the good guys of destroying America, its foundation, and its principles. The funny part, if any of this can be said to be funny, is that he pretends that he and those of his ideology are the ones who built the structure of our society. While Jones works unceasingly to destroy the nation so that his comrades can build a Leftist government on top of its smoldering ruins, he tries to paint those who would save the nation as the actual destroyers.


“At this point in this struggle, it’s the so-called patriots who are the ones who are smashing down every American institution….It’s the so-called patriots, the ones who come out here with their Tea Party and the flags and call themselves patriots — they’re the ones that are smashing down our unions, smashing down public education, smashing down every American institution that we built, and our parents built, and our grandparents built to make this country great.”

Jones added that the Tea Party is trying to “take a wrecking ball — and paint it red, white, and blue — and smash down all the things our parents did for us.' "

Like the Jedi mind-trick, though, it also only works on the weak-minded. The problem is that we have a whole lot of weak-minded people who buy into this drivel.

Jones' plan looks to me like it came right out of the playbook of the The Thinker's Guide to Fallacies: The Art of Mental Trickery.  
http://books.google.com/books?id=shrn4lTg_RkC&pg=PA20&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=3#v=onepage&q&f=false


Page 20 of this book contains Jones' standard play - "Accuse your opponent of doing what he is accusing you of". In the book it is referred to as "Dirty Trick # 1".


I don't have much else to say. It is plain that Jones fancies himself a Master of  lying and manipulation. In this case he is probably quite correct. My only real note is that the good guys must always keep in mind the maxim that "He who controls the definitions controls the debate". If those who actually desire to save America from the likes of ol' Van and Company, want to be successful, they need to press hard with the truth. They need to forget about defending themselves. Saying things like "No, we're not trying to destroy anything." puts you exactly where Jones wants you to be - on the defensive.

Jones needs to be labeled for what he is. He is a destroyer. He is the anti-Patriot and the anti-American. This message needs to be pressed home on a daily basis. He must be described as such every time that the opportunity presents itself. I hold that Jones should even be brought into the discussion whenever possible. We must be even more relentless than he.

Like Obama, I don't think that Jones' ego can handle the pressure. If we keep up the pressure, I think that he will fold.

MSNBC Denigrates US Military Heroes

I wanted to do a post on the most recent of Van Jones jerko rants, but when I saw this one, I know that I could not let it go without comment.

A panel on a MSNBC show hosted by Chris Hayes opted to use this Memorial Day weekend to state the participant's problems with utilizing the term hero to describe our military veterans.

"Chris Hayes introduces the issue:

“I feel uncomfortable about the word ‘hero’ because it seems to me that it is so rhetorically proximate to justifications for more war. Um, and, I don’t want to obviously desecrate or disrespect memory of anyone that’s fallen, and obviously there are individual circumstances in which there is genuine, tremendous heroism, you know, hail of gunfire, rescuing fellow soldiers, and things like that. But it seems to me that we marshal this word in a way that is problematic. But maybe I’m wrong about that…”


I suspect that Mr. Hayes is not so uncomfortable with the idea of justifying war as he is with the obvious fact that those who willingly sacrifice their lives in campaigns against our enemies, are far better people than he could aspire to be in his wildest dreams. Cowards tend to constitute the bulk of those who advocate Leftist positions. Instead of dealing with this fact, they veil their awareness of their own shortcomings with a veneer of pseud-intellectual snobbery. This manifests itself in speaking of those who do in fact fight as gullible or ignorant individuals who are too trusting and uneducated to know that they are being wrongfully employed. 

The idea that people such as these try to project is that the only reason that they are not fighting is that, well, they are just too smart for that. Only the county bumpkins and other dense people (Read patriotic conservatives) would subject themselves to such dangers.


"John McWhorter of the New York Daily News continued: “…I would almost rather not say ‘hero’ and come up with a more neutral term…I share your discomfort with those words because they are argumentational strategies in themselves, often without wanting to be.' :

Mr. McWhoter, how about "unfortunate saps"? would that label make you feel any better? Would that ease the guilt that you undoubtedly feel for not doing what they have?

"Michelle Goldberg of the Daily Beast, who recently compared Ann Romney to Hitler and Stalin on the same network, added: “There are people who are genuine heroes, but the kind of implication is that death is what makes you a hero, you know as opposed to any kind of affirmative act or moral act…' "

Ms. Goldberg blatantly lied in this case. No one ever suggested that one has to have died or have been in combat to be a hero. She of course is well aware of this and was simply trying to steer the discussion her way. Goldberg's version of a hero is probably an Occupy puke who is living off his student loans (which he has no intention of paying) and receiving donated food while he demands more entitlements from the government.

"After reassuring that there is honor and valor in the military, Goldberg said: “It’s more just that, it’s a way of ennobling sacrifices that have a lot of nobility for the individual, but to say that someone kind of died heroically suggests that they died worthily, or that they died in the pursuit of a worthy endeavor…” [Emphasis added]"


Another Leftist ploy from Ms. Goldberg. She is insinuating that our soldiers have not died for worthy causes. In answer to that I would hold that, although we have entered into wars that, in retrospect, have come to be thought of as poor decisions on the part of our government, that fact has no bearing whatsoever on whether or not one's sacrifice was noble or heroic. As with any enterprise, decisions must be made with the facts that are known at the time. Even if the event itself was poorly conceived, the sacrifice is still just as noble as that of the person who fought in a war that had universal support. In my opinion, the most noble of virtues may sometimes be in sacrificing oneself for the very people who appreciate your action the least.


We see yet another example of the effects of the purposeful omissions of the history of Western Civilization from our schools. When people grow up unaware of the heroic sacrifices of those who preceded us, they are easily misled by those who would denigrate noble and heroic acts. Whether it be an ancient Greek or Roman hero, a Saxon force which stood off a Danish attack, a Christian martyr who refused to offer sacrifice to the Emperor, or the seven Jewish brothers and their mother who too suffered horrible deaths for refusing to do things contrary to their faith, heroism has been an integral part of what made us what we are today. Our culture is one that, without heroism of the individual, would not exist today in any recognizable manner.


My personal opinion is that each and every member of this panel who made or agreed with these comments can be aptly described from this line from Henry V. The King notes that, years from now, those who survived the coming battle will be able to recount those events and that those who were comfortably at home while the war was on will think poorly of themselves for not being there. The only difference is that in place of admitting that those who are away from home are better than we, our panelists affect to consider our fallen heroes as having "died for nothing".

"And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day. "

The Left would prefer to hold the position of Wilfred Owen. Mr. Owen wrote after the horrid and widespread carnage of WWI, a  conflict that I would state should never have occurred. I hold that the poem from which the line below was taken should be understood in  its historical context - it was written in 1918. I, though, still honor the memory of those who fell in that war and, regardless of the reasons for it, am grateful for their intentions.

"To children ardent(14) for some desperate glory, The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est 

Pro patria mori.(15)" (it is sweet and right to die for your country)"

http://www.warpoetry.co.uk/owen1.html

I again am remained of the Spartan man, Pedaritus, who was told that he was not to be admitted to the 300 of Officer Class of his city (From what I have read, I gather that the guy was not fairly considered and that those who made the decision may not have liked him). Upon being told that he did  not make the cut, had an expression that suggested that he was delighted.. Those who informed him ( possibly vexed since Pedaritus was not sulking) asked why he looked so happy after hearing bad news.

Pedaritus replied that he was happy that his city had 300 men who were better than he.

We all know that those who have sacrificed are better than we are. The only difference is that some of us admit that fact and others cover it up by saying that that the word hero should not be used.

Follow-Up To Paul Weston Arrest - Call for Civil Disobedience

This is a follow- up to the arrest of British patriot and activist Paul Weston, who in the land of Magna Carta and John Wilkes was charged with racism for uttering a quote by Winston Churchill on Islam (at bottom).

http://gatesofvienna.net/2014/04/bill-warner-on-the-arrest-of-paul-weston/

Bill Warner, of the Center for the Study of Political Islam, notes in a video (above - very short) that there is only one option to put a stop to the destruction of Free Speech (particularly when it is accurate) in the UK that is soon to come in the US. He makes his point clear - if hundreds of people gather together in public and make the same quote as did Mr. Weston, the police and the courts would be so bogged down in the prosecutions that the system would break down. He also notes that we need to stop doing all of our work "on the keyboard" and start actually doing something.

No Free Speech in UK - Man Arrested for Quoting Churchill on Islam

This is yet another example of what has happened to the nation that gave us both (In American English-"The") Magna Carta and the principles of the Whig Party:

http://gatesofvienna.net/2014/04/paul-weston-busted-for-quoting-churchill/

"........At around 2pm Mr Weston was standing on the steps of Winchester Guildhall, addressing the passers-by in the street with a megaphone. He quoted the following excerpt about Islam from the book The River War by Winston Churchill:

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property — either as a child, a wife, or a concubine — must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the faith: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.”

Reportedly a woman came out of the Guildhall and asked Mr Weston if he had theauthorisation [Italics are mine and it's British spelling] to make this speech. When he answered that he didn’t, she told him “It’s disgusting!” and then called the police.

Six or seven officers arrived. They talked with the people standing nearby, asking questions about what had happened. The police had a long discussion with Mr Weston, lasting about 40 minutes.

At about 3pm he was arrested. They searched him, put him in a police van and took him away."

This is an absolute disgrace I can't believe that so many of us who live in the Anglosphere are doing nothing while the most free nations ever to exist are steadily being transformed into totalitarian states.

Magna Carta is Dead in England

In the UK, you will be allowed to enter the country despite the fact that you habitually spew whatever words of hatred that you wish.

-As long as you are a Muslim.

If you are careful to differentiate between Muslim people and the hatred, violence, and subjection of women and non-Muslims that is promoted in the Koran and other Islamic writings, however, you will be prohibited from entering the nation.

-From the first link:

"In a not unexpected — but nevertheless shocking — move, Britain’s Home Office has denied entry into the UK to Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller. The two anti-sharia advocates had planned to join Tommy Robinson and Kevin Carroll this weekend in laying flowers at the site of Lee Rigby’s* murder in Woolwich, in honor of Armed Forces Day.

*http://thehotgates480bc.blogspot.com/2013/05/islam-incompatible-with-western.html

Unlike Geert Wilders at the time he was denied entry to Britain, Mr. Spencer and Ms. Geller are not on trial for “inciting hatred”. They have never been convicted of any crimes. They have never incited violence in any way. Their only “offense” has been to speak out repeatedly against Islamization and the dangers of Shariah......."

-From the fourth link:

"Devotion to jihad for the sake of Allah, and the desire to shed blood, to smash skulls, and to sever limbs for the sake of Allah and in defense of His religion, is, undoubtedly, an honor for the believer. Allah said that if a man fights the infidels, the infidels will be unable to prepare to fight."
"You may be wondering if it was I [Robert Spencer] or Pamela Geller who penned that hate-filled misrepresentation of the beautiful Islamic doctrine of jihad. But in fact, it was neither one of us. It was Mohammed al-Arefe, a Saudi Muslim cleric who believes that shedding Infidel blood and smashing Infidel skulls is pleasing to his god.

Apparently believing that such violence is an Islamic imperative is just fine with the British Home Office as long as one does so approvingly: Mohammed al-Arefe wasjust last week admitted into Britainwithout any difficulty. If one believes that such violence is an Islamic imperative but opposes it, however, watch out: that is not conducive to the public good....."

-From the second link:

"The backgrounds of the two banned Americans [Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller] were reviewed by the Home Secretary’s office and they were told in crystal clear terms,“your presence here is not conducive to the public good.”

The official notice went on to clarify, ”You are therefore instructed not to travel to the UK as you will be refused admission on arrival.”...."

Although modern Leftist revisionists (As they have with the Roman revolt against the Tarquins and virtually every other crucial victory for Liberty and the Rule of Law in Western History) have taken great paints to portray the event that occurred at Runnymede in 1215 as the mere work of aristocrats working to better their positions, the Magna Carta is indisputably a key event in the development of freedom in the West. We find nothing even remotely comparable in early, contemporary, or modern civilizations in  East or South Asia, the Islamic world, or the Americas. 

One of the main points to note about the Charter was that rulers are also subject to the Law and that they have no authority to make arbitrary decisions. Everyone must be treated equally under the Law.

The nation that gave us that legal precedent, jurists such as Sir William Blackstone, political thinkers such as John Locke and Edmund Burke, and piles of examples of stubborn stands for Liberty, is - like the US, no longer recognizable. Islamists who foment hatred of Jews, Christianity, Western Culture, even the UK itself, are free to enter that nation, but someone who works to inform people about the truth of Islam are barred from doing the same. 

You cant even talk about what Muslims say about their own religion.

Those who stood against the arbitrary rule of King John and defended Liberty against the King's ensuing reactionary moves must be rolling over in their graves. 

In the 20th century, the Left (Like it did with all Western counties) needed to change British society, but their  public school and media machines were not doing the job quickly enough to suit their tastes. They needed to get the electorate turned around before the realization that Leftism is a patent lie set in among the people. The solution was to import as many non-Western immigrants as possible. A key part of this strategy was to include massive amounts of immigrants from Muslim nations. Not only do Muslims vote for Liberal/Labor parties, they also would have,  as Islam is pan-national in its outlook, no appreciation for British sovereignty. Socialists want to do away with national boundaries, so Muslims would serve two purposes.

The plan, save for a few minor hiccups such as plagues of gang rapes of indigenous British girls, a massive increase in violent crime, widespread welfare fraud, the steady advancing of Sharia Law, and large-scale rioting, has worked out fairly well for the Left - even "Conservative" politicians have to ignore the facts and play down the effects of this policy if they want to keep their cushy jobs.

Now the Left and their so-called Conservative opponents have a tricky job; the mob will turn out for any event that the Muslims can use to justify yet more violence, so the politicians from both sides have to pander to them. 

As with most solutions to inherently wrongful policies, what has been implemented is a sub-policy of applying bandages - not to fix the problem, but to put a temporary stop to the bleeding. Those who work to protect the national and ethnic culture of the people of the UK, as well as anyone who dares to speak accurately about Islam, are either subjected to continual harassment by the authorities or left alone to be attacked by Leftists thugs such as those if Unite Against Fascism. If one who does the same  is a citizen of another nation,  he or she will be prevented even from visiting the UK.

The people of Western nations have precious little time left before it will be too late to save even a remnant of their respective countries. They can no longer turn a blind eye to what is being done to enslave their descendants. If the Left is not checked soon, the people will have to pack up and leave if they want to have a place to live in Freedom and in the spirit of their ancestors**.

We will have to consider a modern-day Volkerwanderung.

Free Speech Under Serious Threat in the UK.

I saw this report today in The Blaze, but a search turned up an article from The Telegraph, which was published on the 4th of July of all days.

In the United Kingdom, the wellspring of the strongest traditions of individual liberty and free speech that can be found in the entire world, it not only verboten to speak your mind, but you also are prohibited from making any statements concerning Christian teachings - this in a country in which Christianity is the official religion.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/10159420/Christian-arrested-for-calling-homosexuality-a-sin-warns-of-real-life-thought-police.html

"Tony Miano, 49, a former senior police officer from the US, was held for around six hours, had his fingerprints and DNA taken and was questioned about his faith, after delivering a sermon about “sexual immorality” on a London street.

Mr Miano, who served as a Deputy Sherriff in Los Angeles County, said his experience suggested that the term “thought police” had become a reality in the UK.

He said he was amazed that it was now possible “in the country that produced the Magna Carta” for people to be arrested for what they say.
Mr Miano, who was provided with a solicitor by the Christian Legal Centre, was arrested under the controversial clause of the Public Order Act which bans “insulting” words or behaviour.............
He was speaking from a passage from Thessalonians which mentions “sexual immorality” and listed homosexuality alongside “fornication” as examples what he believed went against “God’s law”.

A woman out shopping called the police to complain that she was offended, prompting two officers to be dispatched to arrest him........

During the subsequent questioning at Wimbledon police station he was asked about his beliefs on what constitutes “sin” and about how he would treat gay people in hypothetical situations.

“As the questioning started it became apparent that the interrogation was about more than the incident that too place in the street but what I believed and how I think,” he said.
“I was being interrogated about my thoughts … that is the basic definition of thought police.”

He said he had arrested many people in his career but never over something they believed.

“It surprised me that it is possible for a person to be taken to jail for their thoughts,” he said.

“It surprised me that here in the country that produced the Magna Carta that an otherwise law abiding person could loose his freedom because one person was offended by the content of my speech.”
He said he feared Britain and other countries were already on a “slippery slope” towards the erosion of free speech and has written to MPs outlining his experiences.

Andrea Williams, of the Christian legal Centre, said: “We might joke about there being ‘thought police’ but this case shows that it has already become a reality.

“Sadly we are seeing cases like this increasingly often”.

Mr Miano said that after he was questioned he was advised by his solicitor that police had indicated that they expected to charge him with a public order offence.

But after being sent back to his cell for around another hour he was informed that an inspector had decided that no further action would be taken. He was released about midnight........."

The land that gave birth to some of the greatest political minds in history has been transformed, and the results are not pretty.

When I think about the manner in which members of Parliament would traditionally address each other, or the biting content of newspaper articles in Great Britain in the 18th century, and compare these to the Orwellian restrictions of public speaking in that nation today, my stomach turns.

Most Americans are not only blissfully unaware that our Mother Country is no longer the bastion of Liberty that she was for so long. They are even less aware that the plans are in place to bring about similar restrictions in the US. 

In regards to Islam, Hillary Clinton has for some time been involved with moves to curb the First Amendment by making restrictions on speech that "defames religion". Feminists don't seem to have any beef with the manner in which women are treated by men in Islamic nations or families. 

At this point, Orwellian restrictions on free speech are still at the mob level. You will not be charged with an offense, but rest assured that the mob will rise up and attack you. Any reference to privileged groups or "lifestyles" will earn you a loss of employment, boycotting of your business and all who do business with you, acts of vandalism against your property, and other retaliatory measures for daring to speak out.
