The Blogger Nailed Van Jones: How could a communist revolutionary with a police record advise Obama?

Now that Jones has resigned, Loudon says that "the focus needs to go on who hired him and why an easily identifiable communist revolutionary with a police record could serve as a presidential adviser."

He explains, "The Obama administration boasted of its extreme vetting procedures, so I find it unlikely that if a blogger from New Zealand could identify Jones as a communist militant that the White House didn't know."

In terms of the evidence about who recommended and hired Jones, Loudon says that the focus that Accuracy in Media has put on far-left Oakland Democratic Rep. Barbara Lee is correct, since she was "almost certainly complicit in getting Jones hired." Lee is chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, was a presidential campaign adviser to Obama, and is a friend of Jones and Obama. Jones and Lee worked together on "green jobs" in Oakland.

At the same time, Obama's "brain" Valerie Jarrett is on tape as saying "they" have been watching Jones for years and were happy to recruit him. Since Jarrett is in the White House, "the spotlight must go on Jarrett," Loudon argues. "But eventually it must come back to the president himself."

He explains, "Jones and Obama have worked with the same people all the way."

For example, Loudon notes that "In 1999 Obama was called to New York to set up a left-wing think tank called Demos. He served for a time on the Demos board of trustees. Jones is still listed a member of the Demos board. Demos is a partner organization to the Institute for Policy Studies and also works closely with ACORN and Project Vote-names very familiar to any Obama watcher."

Explaining the rise of Van Jones, Loudon says, "Seven years ago Van Jones was a Bay Area Alinskyite street communist. After hooking up with the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism, Democratic Socialists of America, former '60s Maoists, Weather Underground supporters and Demos, he managed to land a job in the White House."

By comparison, "Twenty-two years ago Barack Obama was a Chicago Alinskyite 'community organizer.' After hooking up with the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism, Democratic Socialists of America, former '60s Maoists, Weather Underground supporters and Demos, he managed to land a job in the White House."

Just a coincidence?

Loudon concludes, "Jones' resignation is a blow for the left and a victory for freedom, but it is only the beginning in unmasking a whole series of White House radicals. They may not have been as loud mouth and indiscrete as Van Jones -but that makes them more dangerous, not less. Millions of Americans now have some inkling of what is happening to their country. Now is the time to amp up the pressure and research."
