Van Jones

Here’s him saying just that on 9/12/01:
in text, perhaps slightly misquoted:

A recurring theme of the speakers was the brutal violence committed by or supported by the United States government on a daily basis. “The bombs the government drops in Iraq are the bombs that blew up in New York City,” said Van Jones, director of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, who also warned against forthcoming violence by the Bush Administration. “The US cannot bomb its way out of this one. Safety at home requires justice abroad.”

That’s his view: America DESERVED 9/11 because of it’s bombing of Iraq. Except ... we weren’t bombing Iraq. Gulf War 1 had been over for a decade, and only rare and occasional reprisal bombings were done against Saddam’s DAILY attempts to shoot down our airplanes.

So, having read that, now read the analysis to gain this insight into the White House: Van Jones is NOT A RADICAL to them. He thinks just the same way they do, and sees the world from the same perspective.

“What kind of careless, lame-brained goofball appoints such a person to high office?”
( http://blogs.dailymail.com/donsurber/2009/09/05/9883/ )

Having watched the rise of Van Jones, why did Team Obama nonetheless “recruit” him into the White house? Because what Jones says and believes is well within the range of what Obama believes, and thus not jarrring to him and his crew.

If Jones is now beyond the pale, it is only because the Obama crowd finally hears him through the filter of a controversy. When Obama and company heard him only through the filter of what they believe, there was no controversy because his statements—e.g., his attack on Israeli “occupation” dating back to 1948 and his claim that “U.S. tax dollars are funding violence against people of color inside the U.S. borders and outside the US borders”—are not particularly controversial to Team Obama.

This, of course, is the Rev. Jeremiah Wright phenomenon all over again. Wright’s racist, anti-Israeli, anti-American statements didn’t jar Obama while he was sitting in Wrights’s church for 20 years because they were not that different from what Obama believes.

And you wonder why posts like this next one are becoming more frequent? I don’t.

PS - America bought itself another MILLION weapons last month, bringing the total to about 13 million purchased since the election. On top of the half billion or so we probably already had. (oh please. How many million M1s and M1 carbines, M1903, M1903a, Krags, 1895 Winchesters, and Trapdoors did the DCM dump on us? You think those guns have just evaporated? Hell no.)

It is a real low-ball estimate that there are now 5 guns for every 4 people in the land, even though some continue to say that only 1 person in 4 owns a firearm. (if I had to bet, and you could get a real count, I’d say 2 guns per citizen, maybe 2.5. Seriously) Which means - even using the “official” estimate, all us gun owners have about 5 guns each. Yeah, that sounds about right. Many of us own at least 5 for each family member. Let’s see ... small CCW pistol, big ass hunting pistol of .357 or higher, rimfire rifle, shotgun, bolt action high powered sniper weapon deer rifle with telescopic sights, other scoped bolt rifle for deer, mid powered lever action rifle, mid-powered milsurp rifle, aka truck gun, military style semi-auto. Hey, I did say “at least” ya know.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
