| The sad truth is that people of all persuasions have exploited this day. Just one more example here.

of activist group where Weatherman terrorist serves as top director.
EXCERPTS: Quote:
Jones was president and founder of Green For All, a nonprofit organization that advocates for building a so-called inclusive green economy.
Although influential, Apollo has only 14 state affiliates nationwide. Its New York office is directed by Jeff Jones, a top founding member of the Weather Underground radical organization.
Jeff Jones was a leading anti-war activist and terrorist group founder who spent time on the run from law enforcement agencies while his group carried out a series of bombings of U.S. government buildings.
In 1969, Jeff Jones founded the Weathermen with terrorists Bill Ayers and Mark Rudd when the three signed an infamous statement calling for a revolution against the American government inside and outside the country to fight and defeat what the group called U.S. imperialism.
Jeff Jones went underground after he failed to appear for a March 1970 court date to face charges of "crossing state lines to foment a riot and conspiring to do so." He moved to San Francisco with Ayers' wife, Bernardine Dorhn. That year, at least one bombing claimed by the Weathermen went off in Jones' locale at the Presidio Army base.
Jones' Weathermen would take credit for multiple bombings of U.S. government buildings, including attacks against the U.S. Capitol March 1, 1971; the Pentagon May 19, 1972, and a 1975 bombing of the State Department building.
White House adviser Van Jones, meanwhile, is not impartial to radical activism.
He was a founder and leader of the communist revolutionary organization Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement, or STORM. The organization had its roots in a grouping of black people organizing to protest the first Gulf War. STORM was formally founded in 1994, becoming one of the most influential and active radical groups in the San Francisco Bay area.
Speaking to the East Bay Express, Van Jones said he first became radicalized in the wake of the 1992 Rodney King riots, during which time he was arrested.
I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th," he said. "By August, I was a communist."
Trevor Loudon, a communist researcher and administrator of the New Zeal blog, identified several Bay Area communists who worked with STORM, including Elizabeth Martinez, who helped advise Jones' Ella Baker Human Rights Center, which Jones founded to advocate civil justice. Jones and Martinez also attended a "Challenging White Supremacy" workshop together.
One of STORM's newsletters featured a tribute to Amilcar Cabral, the late Marxist revolutionary leader of Guinea-Bissau and the Cape Verde Islands.
The tribute is noteworthy because Jones reportedly named his son after Cabral and reportedly concludes every e-mail with a quote from the communist leader.
Van Jones then moved on to environmentalism. He used his Ella Baker Center to advocate "inclusive" environmentalism and launch a Green-Collar Jobs Campaign, which led to the nation's first Green Jobs Corps in Oakland, Calif.
At the Clinton Global Initiative in 2007, Jones announced the establishment of Green For All, an activist organization which in 2008 held a national green conference in which most attendees were black.
Jone's appointment as a White House environmental adviser was announced March 10.
| Obama Turns 9/11 Observance Over to al Qaeda Sympathizer
Then of course the Flight 93 memorial in PA is a giant crescent facing Mecca. A solemn memorial for the Muslims who sacrificed so much on 9/11.
All of this is happening before our eyes. As a script for a Hollywood movie it would never get picked up -- too ludicrous. No one would believe that any of this could happen in real life.

Just like older Americans have not forgotten Pearl Harbor. |

Thanks in advance.
I used to dearly love the NG magazine and save old copies. I have several old copies at my reading area now with articles about things that particularly interest me, although I no longer subscribe.
I've always been interested in nature and far away places and NG is hard to beat in those areas but have found them to be more and more political in their views over the years, (who hasn't followed that trend?), especially in the global warming area.
When in Nashville I usually stay with an old friend in west N. and last year he installed more insulation in his home and while cleaning out the attic we discovered hundreds of well kept NG mags from the 50s and 60s, lots of interesting stuff to be found.

Could you remind me of why we are projected to be fighting in Afghanistan for at least the next ten years?
I seem to have disremembered.

I guess I will watch this then watch the Dateline special on Steve McNair's death. An ex-cop is supposed to question weather or not it really was a murder/suicide.
Interesting TV tonight. |

The notion that George Bush conspired to cause 9/11 is right up there with Loch Ness and Sasquatch.
