Van Jones' Nuttiest Belief
Yesterday Michael
Moynihan noted that Van Jones,
the Obama administration's "green jobs czar," signed a 2004
petition that demanded an investigation into whether "people within
the current administration may indeed have deliberately allowed
9/11 to happen, perhaps as a pretext for war." After that story
broke, Fox News
reports, Jones insisted, "I do not agree with this statement,
and it certainly does not reflect my views now or ever." An aide
explained that Jones "did not carefully review the language in
the petition." Jones also apologized for calling
Republicans "assholes" during a question-and-answer
session last February. According to Fox, "He said
those remarks 'do not reflect the views of this administration' and
its bipartisan aims." (To his credit, Jones did not actually
deny that Republicans are assholes.) The story also plays up an
essay that Jones, at the time a Yale Law School student, wrote
shortly after the 1992 Rodney King riots. Contrary to Fox's
implication, the essay does not exactly celebrate the riots. To the
contrary, Jones wrote that "Los Angeles' great self-immolation, and
its mini-versions elsewhere, give us nothing to cheer about"
because "those of us on the streets"—where Jones said he "just
marched around and chanted slogans"—"had rattled the bucket of
radical ideas and were shocked to find it empty."
More troubling than any of this, because it is potentially far more consequential, is Jones' belief, expressed in his book The Green Collar Economy, that dramatically reducing carbon dioxide emissions not only won't cost anything but will actually benefit the economy by creating jobs. I debated this subject with Jones on a radio show last year, and my impression was that he is a true believer in the broken planet fallacy. The problem is that Jones was hired not despite but because of this nutty idea, which his boss also espouses.

I worked in One WTC on that day.
I don't believe that the government nor Bin Ladan had anything to
do with it.
The Government:
The last this Bush needed was this. They had already won the
election. And, they would have hung Hussein on YouTube.com no
matter what.
Bin Laden:
He didn't do this. He would have never approved this attach unless
he had uniform attacks ready. If u ask me, America was pretty
lienent on these people.
Atta and his crew did this. Unfortunately for the Hawks and Crazies
of America...the real Perps of 9/11 are ALL DEAD. That's why people
hate terrorist attack.

Today, using the sophisticated vetting tool the White House is
apparently not privy to (Google), Gateway Pundit turned up yet
another link between Jones and the 9/11 Truther movement. Jones is
listed as an organizer for a San Francisco Truther march in
2002.
http://www.rense.com/general18/march.htm
If you were part of the Truther movement in 2002, does that not
make you one of its Founding Fathers? In the announcement of this
march, which Jones probably didn't read carefully, the movement
lays out some of its questions:

If it is worthwhile looking into allegations of War Crimes
perpetrated by the Bush Administration, then why not go all the way
and see if either their negligence or active participation caused
or exacerbated the events of 9/11? Isn't at least in the realm of
reasonableness that an administration that would commit atrocities
to others in our name AND LIE TO US ABOUT THEM would have no
problem sacrificing a few of us for the greater good of all of us?
That poisonous, persistent doubt must be dispelled in a credible
way, or confirmed and faced with sense and strength.
I don't care whether a credible accounting exonerates Bush and pals
or secures the hard evidence to earn them invitations to a national
necktie party. Either conclusion works for me, as long as it holds
water. My problem is that, for the seriousness of what happened
that day, not to mention the seriousness of the continuing
reverberations, we have not had a credible accounting. Maybe no
such thing is possible; maybe we must simply accept disappointment
and ignorance of the real facts, whatever they may be. But to not
even try sincerely to get our hands on authoritative information
(and if the 9/11 commission's report is the best we can do, we're
in trouble), is unacceptable to me.
What is puzzling to me is that so much appears to be invested in
making people who ask questions and demand answers look like
nut-jobs. It is "in" to mock anyone who wants to see the
publication of deeper answers concerning 9/11. The stifling and
marginalization of mere INQUIRY about some of the most significant
events and actors of our time is baffling to me. What does the
average American have to gain from refusing to ask the hard
questions or demand the best answers we can find? Conversely, who
in positions of power stand to gain from us not looking too closely
at the events surrounding 9/11?
Like many people, I want to be done with the whole controversy. But
I don't want to be done with it by sweeping it under the rug and
letting any cockroaches scurry away under cover of darkness. The
world didn't change on 9/11. It was always the dangerous place --
especially for interventionists -- that the events of 9/11 proved
it to be. Our inner world, however -- our outlook and our attitude
-- changed immensely, and not necessarily for the better. Out of
respect for that transformation, and perhaps as a means of
mitigating its worst aspects, we need valid closure. To mock people
for wanting this -- for signing their names to a petition that
demands this -- seems bafflingly counter-productive to me.

Others signing on include a self-avowed white separatist (Virginia Deane Abernethy), former Rep. Cynthia McKinney, former Libertarian Party presidential candidate Michael Badnarik, Philip Berg (thus allowing the children to chant "Birther" and "Truther" at the same time), those who probably have a special signing stamp for such petitions (Ed Asner, Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans of Code Pink, Mark Crispin Miller, Ralph Nader, Howard Zinn, etc.), and Janeane Garofalo (formerly cute).

I have read it to. If you read the book and think that, you are
fucking moron. I am sorry but sometimes the facts speak for
themselves. Or if you are not a moron you are conspiracy theorist
whackjob. At some point, the issue needs to be settled and people
need to move on. No, Bush didn't know 9-11 was going to happen. No,
the Government wasn't responsible for it Bin Ladin was. Yes, the
attackers were able to enter the country and conduct the attack due
to luck and a long list of government failures and incompetence and
bureaucratic warfare between the FBI, INS, and the Intel Community.
That is really all there is to it.

Not at all. But I do fully expect that a deeper and more sincere
investigation of this matter will reveal quite a bit about what was
going on in our government that we ought to know. If that leads, as
I said, to exoneration of Bush and pals with regard to 9-11 blame,
fine by me. But it will lead somewhere. Remember that the criminal
investigation of a simple burglary led to the fall of an
administration and one of the several events of recent years that
was labeled "our loss of innocence."
# at some point, shit just needs to be
# considered settled.
Yeah, we said that about the Iraq war, too. Still going on, with no
end in sight. So who decides what gets settled, since obviously the
policy is not uniformly applied. A "deep-cleaning" 9-11
investigation, of the kind that the 9-11 Commission's was NOT,
would cost a lot less and certainly result in fewer deaths than
that other pointless exercise.
# all-kinds-of-sunlight-having hearings that
# generated the Congressional Report John
# mentioned above.
I saw some of them -- it was impossible to follow them all -- and
the struck me as a lot of hot air of the type we have seen many
times before, and I say that after having studied or viewed via TV
and archival footage of the McCarthy hearings, the Kennedy
Assassination hearings, the Watergate Hearings, and any number of
other inquiries once C-SPAN was available. I remain unconvinced.
Congressional hearings are not my yardsticks for determination of
truth. This is a criminal investigation. It needs to be pursued by
real criminal investigators wherever and as far as the facts lead.
It is a high-profile mass-murder investigation, and needs to be
pursued for as long as it takes to determine with precision those
responsible and, to the extent possible, bring them to justice.
Would you really tell the police to drop a 30 year old murder,
rape, or kidnapping investigation just because "shit" needs to be
"settled?" Would you have expected the Watergate break-in
investigators to give up just because somebody advised them to
shift priorities away from a fairly minor crime and let it be
"settled"?
# Popular Mechanics debunked most of the
# crazy, unscientific assertions of the
# loony-tunes on the left and right.
In the sense of making a lot of the "Truther" arguments or their
proponents look silly, and thus give people license to mock and
dismiss ANYTHING that challenges the official story, yes, you are
right. But I've looked at the P-M "debunking" website and cannot
honestly say that the CONSTRUCTIVE evidence they offered was all
that compelling. Many unanswered question remain open.
Also, just as an aside, go back through the issues of P-M over the
years to see just how much they got wrong, and how "gee whiz" and
sensationalistic their coverage has been. Not to say that they were
wrong in this case, but I don't think their track record is all
that good. Trusting P-M's take as the "voice of reason" on a matter
this complex and important is like trusting the same politicians
that got us into a particular mess to fix it. Both can hit the
target, but past performance doesn't fill one with confidence (and
in the case of the pols, should fill one with skepticism and
dread).
# "Loose Change" was nothing more than scary
# music, ominous voiceovers and public footage.
Did I mention "Loose Change"? Why do you bring it up?
# Move. The. Fuck. On.
This belies your initial polite form of address to me and suggests
that you, yourself have a pre-judged conclusion, which you hope the
readership here shares so you can all enjoy the marginalization of
the victim. It is ironic that my complaint, to which you respond
with mocking and derision, is simply that so many people's
responses to questions about the 9-11 "official story" are
characterized by mocking and derision. Thanks for making my point.
You'll pull in the choir with your tactics, but you probably won't
convince anyone else by using them. On the other hand, if the
marginalization tactics are successful, then the great mass of
other people will pay less and less attention to what's behind the
curtain, and eventually the matter will be dropped altogether as
people become distracted by other life events and priorities. All
will again be "normal." That'll be a great day for America,
everybody.

you are result-oriented in this, and you consider any investigation
that does comes up short of the results you want to be "incomplete"

"We already had an investigation. You are not unlike the

Oh, oh, more ad hominem attacks. I quake in fear. I think you
already insinuated I was a "birther" in another thread, so this is
old news. Again, you respond with marginalization. "Let's tease and
mock anyone who goes against the grain." I'm glad you are satisfied
with the results of the 9-11 inquiry. I hope it lets you sleep
nights. But this is why I don't put much stock in your opinions.
You are too easily satisfied, and too glib about the "answers" you
have apparently accepted. Or if not, you make a good show of it.
Sometimes, one must entertain the extreme, even outrageous
possibilities. They are not always the truth themselves, but I have
seen where entertaining them very frequently leads to important
facts and revelations. Then again, sometimes not. But by
foreclosing on various areas of inquiry prematurely, many
potentially worthwhile questions aren't even asked, much less
answered.
I might as well say that you are a lot like Holocaust Deniers, you
know. But that wouldn't lead to a productive discussion. Just as
your marginalization of me won't. I suspect having a productive
discussion isn't your aim, though.
|9.4.09 @ 6:24PM|#
"We already had an investigation." - TAO
And bad or incomplete investigations get re-opened. My point was
that there is no statute of limitations on murder or other heinous
crimes. So trying to impose one by peer pressure and the tactics of
marginalization is only a rather transparent crowd-control tactic,
though I will admit it has the virtue of being more transparent
than our govenment.

I'm sure that Jones was vetted thoroughly. I'm sure the Secret
Service objected to him, and they were overruled. His past isn't
well hidden, and it wasn't unknown to the Obama administration.
They don't object to his nutty beliefs, and they probably share a
number of them.
There's nothing mysterious about this. The administration didn't
expect the media to dig into Jones' background, and the media
didn't. If Van Jones hadn't formed Color of Change and gone after
Glen Beck, we'd know nothing about Jones and the Truthers and Mumia
and his whole "poor, repressed, Yale-educated, granted-funded lil

He's right about the fact that black kids never pull a Columbine -

No surprise that he's out, in spite of the overwhelming majority
of the so-called "mainstream media" completely ignoring the story
of what kind of guy he is.
For Obama to keep this psychopath on would have been political
suicide. B.O. is an extreme leftist, but he isn't crazy or stupid,
that's for certain.

Has anyone else accidentally googled Van Johnson when you were looking for news on Van Jones? One of those guys was really good in "The Caine Mutiny".

No, the Government wasn't responsible for it Bin Ladin was.
Of course Bin Laden was responsible for it. He admitted as much himself on one of his propaganda videos, much to the dismay and continued disbelief of much of the Arab and Muslim world.
The circumcision truther vs. 9-11 skeptic...A cage match worth

He's a LIAR.
Listen to his nauseating album and you'll learn his view on
9/11.
He was mainstream Democrat all the way.

Neu Mejican,
"circumcision truther"? Is that some sort of neologism? Wait, I
think I know the thread you're talking about. The one where the CIA
flew a giant foreskin into the WTC.

But in that pursuit I am a piker in comparison with those
who compile and disgorge the reports of congressional
investigations.
But aren't you demanding a congressional investigation to get to
the bottom of this 9/11 mystery? I mean, who else would "look into
allegations" about 9/11?
