Obama's 'Green Jobs Czar' Worked With Terror Founder

Van Jones served on board of activist group where ex-Weatherman serves as top director

JERUSALEM – Van Jones, the man appointed as "green jobs czar" to the White House, previously served on the board of an environmental activist group at which a founder of the Weather Underground terrorist organization is a top director.


WND previously reported Jones was as an admitted radical communist and black nationalist leader.


He was appointed to serve as the special adviser for green jobs, enterprise and innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality. According to the White House blog, Jones' duties include helping to craft job-generating climate policy and to ensure equal opportunity in the administration's energy proposals.


Jones, formerly a self-described "rowdy black nationalist," boasted in a 2005 interview with the left-leaning East Bay Express that his environmental activism was a means to fight for racial and class "justice."


Jones was president and founder of Green For All, a nonprofit organization that advocates for building a so-called inclusive green economy.


Until recently, Jones was a longtime member of the board of Apollo Alliance, a coalition of labor, business, environmental and community leaders that claims on its website to be "working to catalyze a clean energy revolution that will put millions of Americans to work in a new generation of high-quality, green-collar jobs."

They have one on the high court now to. When Obama is all over we will be left with three of his appointments to the court, that will last longer than Obama by a long shot.
