Van Jones
President Obama's Shadow Government has begun to attract attention as more is known about the people he has appointed to positions that need no Congressional approval.
The past history of appointee Van Jones has raised some questions. He has been reported to be a radical Communist and black national leader. Jones was appointed by Obama in March as the special advisor for green jobs, enterprise and innovation at the White House Council of Environmental Quallity.
Jones' duties include helping to craft job-generating climate policy and to ensure equal opportunity in the administration's energy proposals.
In August, it was reported that Jones is a co-founder of Color of Change. He has self-described himself as a "rowdy black nationalist" and boasted in a 2005 interviews with the left-leaning East Bay Express that his environmental activism was a means to fight for racial and class justice.
Jones was a founder and leader of the communist revolutionary organization Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM). The organization was a group of black people organizing to protest the first Gulf War. It became one of the most influential and active radical groups in the San Francisco Bay area.
One of Jones associates included Elizabeth Martinez, a long-time member member of the Communist Party USA. She sits along side former Weathermen radical, long time friends of Obama, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohm on the board of the Movement for a a Democratic Society. Jones son is named after the late Marxist revolutionary leader Amilcar Carbral
With such a history, it is obvious that Jones would never survive a congressional hearing so instead Obama added him to the Shadow Government with its collection of Czars so that an investigation of his past would not be required. By doing this, the transparency that Obama promised during the campaign could be circumvented.
Obama's long time connection with other Communist-leaning revolutionists can no longer be hidden. That he would bring one into the White House has brought attention to the past that he avoided being exposed during the campaign. Now every person that has been appointed to Obama's Shadow government is being scutinized and no amount of diversion can keep their past activities hidden.
