Van Jones Media MouthpieceCaught Taking Russian Cash

By Cliff Kincaid October 6, 2011

Progressive TV and radio star Thom Hartmann took time off from covering Van Jones and his Rebuild thDream movement on Wednesday to briefly talk to this columnist about his relationship with the VladimirPutin regime of Russia. The conversation quickly went sour when Hartmann objected to questions abouthow much he is being paid by Moscow. He grabbed my video camera, covering the lens briefly in theprocess, and stomped away, objecting to gotcha questions.

The entire spectacle was captured on camera and posted on YouTube.

During another embarrassing incident, Van Jones refused to sign a copy of his Standing Together toOrganize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM) manifesto when asked to autograph it. No thank you, hesternly said, before asking Who are you, looking at my name badge, and walking away to the nextadoring crowd of Van Jones groupies. Jones, a former communist, is the new face of the progressivemovement that is backing the Occupation Wall Street protests and is trying to guarantee PresidentObama a second term. He was fired as Obamas green jobs czar when the truth about his extremistbackground and statements started to emerge in reports by blogger Trevor Loudon and then Glenn BeckFox News.

Van Jones

While Jones made remarks in his own conference speech about losing his White House job, he also mockBeck, noting that he had lost his program on the Fox News Channel. Progressives demanded Becks oust

after he began exposing billionaire hedge fund operator George Soros, a major funder of the liberal-left.

Soros, who operates an off-shore hedge fund with mysterious sources of cash, has just failed in his efforto have the European Court of Human Rights lift his conviction in an insider trading case in France.

The STORM document is about the history of a communist group that Jones led and whose memberstraveled to Cuba. He has, however, tried to leave his communist past behind as he reinvents himself as aAmerican patriot trying to rebuild the American dream. At almost every stage of his career, he has beensupported by money from Soros.

n this new phase of the progressive movement and how the conference welcomed socialists andcommunists. She said the Communist Party, which usually fields a presidential candidate, will not runanyone against Obama in 2012. Communist literature was openly displayed at the conference and theDemocratic Socialists of America, a group which backed Obamas political career from the start, had annformation table.

Judith LeBlanc, who runs a group called PeaceAction and is one of the vice-chairs of the Communist Parwas introduced on stage as one of Van Jonesspartnersin the rebuild the American dream movement.

Hartmann, a leader ofProgressive Democrats of America, has a show distributed nationwide by RussiaToday (RT) television and Free Speech TV. He apparently didnt grasp the irony of trying to silence arecording device while touting the virtues of the First Amendment.

Hartmann spoke to me after participating in a Taking Back the Media panel discussion during the TakeBack theAmerican Dream Conference sponsored by the Campaign for Americas Future. Hartmann washailed in an official press release as a key part of Free Speech TV's exclusive live coverage of theconference, which was held in Washington, D.C. October 3-5.An affiliate of the Campaign for AmericasFuture, the Institute for Americas Future, is heavily subsidized by Soros.

The head ofFree Speech TV is Don Rojas, former press secretary to communist Maurice Bishop, the leadof the Caribbean island of Grenada before President Reagan ordered its liberation by American troops in1983.

Rojas, in a taped interview, spoke fondly of the days when he worked for Grenadas revolutionarygovernment, even signing a copy of an address Bishop had made to the sixth summit of the non-alignedmovement in Havana, Cuba, in 1979. Rojas said he helped to write the speech and was in Havana at thetime. He signed it, Forward Ever, Backward Never, an inspirational quotation from Bishop which wassupposed to capture the essence of the revolutionary process.

Rojas was captured, arrested, and then deported from Grenada by U.S. forces. Today, however, hischannel is called theanti-Fox networkand claims carriage on 200 cable affiliates and Dish network andDirecTV, reaching 35 million homes. Free Speech TV has been promoting the Occupation of Wall Streetprotests and also distributes Al-Jazeera. Rojas says he has applied for cash from the Soros-funded Open

Society Institute (OSI). We are knocking on the OSIs door as we speak, he said.

In the speech, Bishop had talked about the revolutionary process which has seen the emergence ofsuccessful and progressive revolutions in countries like Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Ethiopia,Vietnam, Lao, and Kampuchea and, most recently Nicaragua and Iran, has had a vital impact on thebalance of forces in todays world.

Kampuchea, the communist word for the country of Cambodia, saw a takeover by the communist KhmerRouge after Americas defeat in Vietnam that took the lives of about 2 million people in a bloody genocidIran was taken over by radical Islamists, who remain in charge and are working to obtain nuclear weapon order to destroy the state of Israel and threaten the U.S.

Long live the Cuban revolution! was one of the concluding phrases in the Bishop speech.

While Rojas talked openly about his service to Bishop and Castro, AFL-CIO official Karen Nussbaum wasclose-mouthed in regard to her trip to Cuba in 1970 as a member of the Venceremos Brigades to thecommunist-controlled island.No, she curtly replied, when asked to talk about a trip that reportedlyncluded a meeting with Castro himself. Asked why she wouldnt talk about it, she said it was notrelevant. Nussbaum was on a panel discussing feminism that was organized by the Rockefeller Fund.

This was the second time I had tried to talk to Nussbaum. She appeared at a previous Campaign forAmericas Future conference and turned and walked away when I raised similar questions. This time, sh

had a press representative intervene to say that he would try to get answers to my questions. I am notholding my breath.

A published report about Nussbaums trip to Cuba said she was impressed with Castro and with Cubansocialism. In an oral history of her days as a young radical, Nussbaum talked about the large number ofWeathermen in the brigades to Cuba. The Weathermen became the terrorist Weather Underground afterbeing brainwashed and trained in guerrilla warfare in Cuba by Castros intelligence operatives.

Nussbaum heads the AFL-CIOs 3 million strong Working America affiliate. Her boss, AFL-CIO chief RichaTrumka, was a featured speaker at the Take Back the American Dream Conference and referred to theprotests on Wall Street, saying that Its our time and calling Van Jones my friend.
