On this anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, with all the ginned-up media concern over the potential for tea party fervor to morph into acts of domestic terrorism, just wait until the media catches wind of this virulently anti-government song published by a very prominent political activist:
F*ck the government, they never done sh*t for me
For my people their defeat is a victory
“The man” wants the whole world under his thumb,
Plunders the globe and tries to buy us off with the crumbs…
That’s not your flag, not your government
Not your war, not your President
Now is not the time to be silent
Raise your voices, raise your fist
Against the real terrorist – Uncle Sam.
Whoa – the American government is the “real terrorist”?
Now I’d say that this is going beyond reasonable political discourse. Except of course this song was not published by any tea party activist. And far from generating any concern within the mainstream media, they completely ignored it when the discovery of this song spread like wildfire throughout the conservative blogosphere just a few short months ago. In fact, far from being condemned, the man most responsible for financing and promoting the album in which this song appears is now a senior fellow at the most prominent liberal think tank in the nation, and will soon be teaching at Princeton. Oh, and he was also recently awarded the highest honor given by the NAACP.
I’m referring of course to the former White House green jobs czar, Van Jones.
The Ella Baker Center, founded and run by Van Jones, was the “sponsoring non-profit” for Freedom Fighter Music which in 2003 produced and published an album entitled “WarTimes: Reports from the Opposition.” An album narrated by convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, and which also featured an interview segment with Van Jones himself.
Just in case there remains any question as to Van Jones’ direct involvement in this effort, he acknowledged his ownership of the Freedom Fighter record label in this 2003 interview with USA Today Weekend. Furthermore, the act which performed the song highlighted in this post was called The Red Guard, and consisted of artists Ying-sun Ho and Jakada Imani who were both on staff at the Ella Baker Center at the time. In fact, after Van Jones’ departure, Imani became the Executive Director of the Center, and Ho is now an attorney on staff with Green for All, another organization founded by Jones.
In other words, this was Van Jones’ crew.
I’ve embedded the entire track below for your listening (dis)pleasure, and you can find an MP3 of the entire WarTimes album and a highlight video here.
But I want to close by expressing what an outrage, and glaring hypocrisy it is for so many members of the media to continue to give credence to fabricated accusations against the tea party for racism and fomenting violence. All the while, virtually ignoring Van Jones’ sordid history of genuine anti-Americanism, while openly aiding in the effort to rehabilitate his image after he abruptly left the White House last fall.
Case in point, the media’s shameful coverage of former President Clinton’s propaganda against the Tea Party on Friday. In his speech, Clinton accused conservative activists of fostering an environment ripe for political violence by “demonizing the government.” This speech was given at the liberal Center for American Progress, where Van Jones is now on staff as a senior fellow.
The media’s willingness to propagate the baseless attacks of those attempting to de-legitimize the tea party, while glorifying real hate-mongers like Van Jones, represents either a disgraceful level of partisan bias, or a complete lack of journalistic courage to expose the truth about the personal history and views of a leading liberal voice in the “green jobs” movement. I suspect both factors are at play. But it is no wonder that so many media organizations continue to struggle in the marketplace, while the tea party movement continues to gain momentum as we head into the mid-term elections.

The MSM is irrelevant. That is why we come here for news.
These people redefine the words pathetic and disgusting. As I continue to wonder about them I am aware they redefine many other words also. Words I won't use here.
Sometimes, I swear, these morons are just autistic, childlike, fools who just get mesmerized by the sound of their own voices. Do they really see having to do, for themselves, what everyone else has to to experience the same success, as racist, etc.? Or do they just waste their lives continually hoping that the rest of us are stupid enough to believe that and to do for them what is rightfully theirs to do for themsleves? Grow up, already. Why's that Yabba Dabba Jamal guy still around?
Whats really pathetic is when you point out how destructive these guys are they label you a racist,imagine what kind of land we would live in if these guys were in complete control,oh,they are on their way to doing just that,they just need to identify those who will stand in their way and destroy them by whatever means possible,then they can go back to the stoneage and live like the animals they are.
Leftist hypocrisy – par for the course. Here's some more of it:
"WASHINGTON (AP) – Former President Bill Clinton says he worries that the world perceives an America too immersed in its own internal political squabbles."
Sure Bill, whatever. Dissent is the highest form of discourse when oh, say a REPUBLICAN is president, but meek, demure obedience with the accension of Obama – the guy "who would be bringing YOU coffee not to long ago", reich "Bubba"?
Are any of you old enough to remember the 1960's? And the rioting in our cities..I will make a prediction that we will see a long, HOT summer and rioting in the streets..This administration and it's friends are setting us up..tea partiers are made up of wealthier, better educated older white guys..who some of us call our husbands, brothers and fathers..
It has already started in some cities..the progressives have 'defined' the enemy..they will arrive looking for their 'FREE' houses, cars, mortgage payments, healthcare..etc. And, when they don't get them..there will be hell to pay. And this will give his HIGHNESS the opportunity to delare Martial Law before the election..
He and his gang has made overtures to anyone and everyone..except whites and Christians..with us, he and his flunkies have gone out of their way to insult us..TRUST THEM NOT!
Why is this COP KILLER Mumia Abu-Jamal still wasting good oxygen that decent humans could be using, HMMM?
Why? Lemme guess, the ACLU is involved, right? This POS can kill a cop and get away with it by staying alive?
Van Jones was a "rowdy black nationalist" when he was in Oakland in the early 1990's. If you know any of Tupac's music/life, you'd know that he was also in Oakland in the early 1990's. You can tell from his music, from his words, that he was a rowdy black nationalist, much like Van Jones. Tupac was a talented artist, though politically misguided, much like Van… so if you want to know the sentiment and mind set of this black nationalist movement in 1990's Oakland, of which Van Jones and Tupac were both a part, read any of Tupac's lyrics from that era.
Just a little connection I made.. maybe someone else who knows can corroborate.
Dear Mr. Klein:
Would this type of speech constitute sedition?
The scary thing is that even upper middle class, white, 60-year-olds hate the U.S. Only a few days ago I was shocked to hear from a neighbor who worships Obama that she thinks her/our country is a pile of sh*t. Floored by her remark, I responded that we are the greatest country in history and that I couldn't believe she thought otherwise. She seemed quite surprised that her anti-U.S. rhetoric was not reciprocated. What kills me is this woman and her husband had careers in the public sector, retired early, and now receive substantial government pensions. One would expect that she, above all, would be thankful for the largesse of the U.S. government. She, to me, typifies the ex-hippy baby boomer who has been given every opportunity yet appreciates nothing.
I'm sure we've done quite a lot for Mr Jones………………….food stamps aren't free…………….someone has to pay for them and that would be me the taxpayer@
Why should the government do anything for him?
If someone showed up at a Tea Party with a sign with HALF the violent imagery they use on their album cover, it would be the lead story for a week. Seriously — if someone had a sign that had "RESIST" spelled with using a rifle cartridge, say.
Think about how well they did their jobs, given their hatred of the country.
How does Van Jones still have a job?
The sentiment of the rap is disturbing. But I'm almost more troubled by the fact that a man with a rather high station in life writes like a teenager with Down's Syndrome. Most people here could write an infinitely more clever and literate anti-American rap without believing a word of it. It rather convinces me that Van Jones is a moron who has bought into the leftist dogma and can be treated as a thinker by the insane clown posse of the left simply by sticking to the script.
i don't know why the MSM continues to drag their feet when it comes to doing their job with this administration and everyone associated with them. Philadelphia? this is the same city where the black panthers blocked the entrance at polling stations during obama's presidential run. 30 years after abu-jamal and the city is just as bad. in his short run with the WH what was van jones' contribution? how many jobs has he created in the private sector, before and now? as many as obama has, 0.
To all you anti 2nd amendment "freedom fighters": Since you are in need of training about the proper use of weapons, since I'm certain that you don't own any, to determine if the weapon is load, first look down the barrel, second, pull the trigger and if a bullet comes out then you know the weapon was load….oh oops.
Prez O-Bow-Mao must be sooo proud of his colleague! What a piece of shitake this sorry excuse for a man is…Lets see if the media has the stones to follow up on this story or if it will get filed as more “hate filled rhetoric of the right wing teabaggers”…America, WE THE PEOPLE have got to take back OUR country !!!!!!!
Not to be rude, but screw them. Who are the true racists.
Van Jones defends and works with those that support Mumia Abu-Jamal who is a racist cop killer?
Van Jones works for the most liberal think tanks that have supported the Democrat party with rhetoric that the right is racist.
Did you know that there are more black conservative republicans running for Congress this election than Democrats?
Did you know that the tea party is supported by over three fourths of the candidates and they support all of them?
Did you know that both congressmen that claimed the Tea Party spat at them and yelled the N-word at them have both taken back their claims.
Extra: Did you know that the straw-men of Goldman Sachs, the ones that Obama is attacking is a large donor to his campaign and has a possibility to profit greatly from this financial bill?
Who are the racist ones. The Republicans want to teach minorities while the Democrats want to give them welfare to keep them down. Who is the racist?http://www.americanparchment.com covers this issue almost everyday because of the attacks from the left.
Why did the MSM NOT question Valerie Jarrett and Mr. Obama for hiring this traitor Van Jones in the First Place ? They are of the SAME Ilk……………By the way, Danny Faulkner, the Police Officer Murdered by the RACIST Mumia Abu Jamal was down on the ground when he shot him point blank in the head at close range. The Blacks have painted his picture (Abu Jamal) on a building as a hero in North Philly. Same followers as the Black Panthers, anarchists in America.
He still has his job because Obama and his cronies believe EXACTLY as Van Jones does.
If civil unrest does occur it's on the head of Mr. Obama and his administration and supporters. They are already preparing for it and will fight against the American Citizens using the military.
Indeed, and unfortunately even if they didn't do their jobs well, unlike the private sector, they couldn't be fired because of their union/AFGE affiliation. When I think back on the conversation, I wish I had said, "If you hate this country so much, why don't you give up your substantial pension and move to Venezuela?"
He got a Promotion..
The "Hippies" have COME HOME TO ROOST.
Philadelphia is now a DEAD City following in the foorsteps of Camden, NJ. and the City of Chester. The biggest employer is government housing and services..
All of our big cities are going by the way side. They are becoming warehouses for democrat voters.
I wasnt born until 1983, so I didnt know who Mumia Abu-Jamal is. However I just read his wiki page. (I know, its wiki)
Now I have one question, "WHY ISNT THIS POS DEAD YET?"
1. Bullets that killed the officer came form his gun.
2. Bullets from the officer wouded Mumia.
3. Four people saw Mumia at the sceen.
4. Poeple at the hostipal testified that he confessed.
5. Neither her, nor he brother came forward to testify on his defence.
6. His only defence is the "Running Man" theory, in which somehow, someone else gets Mumia's gun, shoots the officer while, just by chance, he happens to have Munia's brother pulled over across the street from Mumia's taxi.
PUT THIS POS DOWN AND BE DONE WITH IT!!!
Anyone who defends Mumia is doing so out of race baiting and complety ignoring the facts of the case.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumia_Abu-Jamal
We are living in dangerous times where our Hegelian government will not allow a crisis to go to waste… Increasing Anti-Government sentiment gives the government perfect cover for "another" false flag opportunity to stage and execute another attack on its own citizens to pass more unpopular legislation to tighten the reins of control on the population… The drums are beating and they are getting louder… Another domestic terror attack to be perpetrated by our own government is coming.. Bill Clinton's guilty conscious has been awoken during the 15th anniversary of the O.K. bombing…
I don’t really think so but never say never of course. Obama has done a good job of painting himself as the great redeemer of the entitlement class. He is starting to lose support with the original entitlement class as he tries to extend it further up the middleclass ladder. I am sure there are many poor folks wondering where the Obama bucks are. But they are not prepared to upend his presidency. The tea partiers don’t often offer themselves up in the entitlement zones of our big cities so I am not sure what could spark the rage. Perhaps the collapse of state funding and the resulting cuts to those that are fully dependent on the state. But that violence if it happens would occur in Obama and democratic strongholds. Canceling regional elections based on regional crisis perhaps but since these would be strong Dem regions not sure there would be any changes in what’s coming in Nov. That’s as far as my little brain can speculate. I do remain resolute that America has no army willing to pull the trigger on a national suppression of political will.
This is a good place to repeat my response in "Indoctrination on Campus" :
"Like the lefties are lining up the time honored tactic of inciting the students into violence, then blaming to opposition for "starting" the fight with the "non-violent" and "peacefull" protestors?
Point.
Keep those cameras handy. "
Use a layered defense. Keep others with cameras in the view screen so you can record who is attacking them. Carry a second camera, by preference something like the undercover cop cameras, buttonhole camera or pen camera.
Do you think the gun owners in the US oppose the TEA Party?
No. Absolutly not. I'm talking about Che tea shirt wearing, granola crunching, birkenstock wearing lefties who fantisize about being "freedom fighters". When the sh*t starts coming down, these idiots will still be trying to find the safety.
I was thinking the same thing.
The backing track sucks as well.
Mixed by an amateur.
Hey I agree with the general sentiment here, BUT PLEASE don't use 'Down's Syndrome' in such a derogatory way! I have a Downs Syndrome niece and she is a lovely person with huge potential in many areas and to hear your ignorance about people with this condition, let alone to connect them to the likes of Van Jones and the disgusting rap lyrics used here is to say the least pathetic and at worst, total slander. I'd suggest you go get experience in relating to someone with Downs Syndrome and then you might have some ability to write something worth reading.
I see no reason to begger myself and my country for someone who believes "F*ck the government, they never done sh*t for me". Especially when the same people are openly working to "transform" federal government into Big Brother — only now it's with the Obozos and Van Jones' of the world in charge. How do their heads not just explode?
Reason number 10 million on why we must play offence against these parasites.
Remember, when you see this racist blatherer, you are seeing Obama. They are identical. Whatever this racist pig says is what Obama believes and says in private.
There are some blacks, such as this piece of trash, that make Martin Luther King Jr., weep in his grave.
If Van Jones is what the future of the black race is, then Darwin has it backwards. Van Jones is a disgrace to his race. The human race.
[...] check out this article if you want to know more about Van [...]
Ah, sorry. My eye glitched right over the "anti" in "To all you anti 2nd…"
My skrewp.
No problem Phillep. We're on the same side.
Oh wow just what ya posted about really got me excited! (ok i know you’ll reckon im a retard haha!) nice
You're right. Calling him a generic retard would have been better. I've known several people with Down's Syndrome in my life and while I'm sure they can be a handful, their seemingly limitless capacity for joy really makes them the opposite of a jerk like Van Jones.
oft an tender combination! extreme wrong die i hardly do not see the point. Thanks for the substance! One mans nationalist. only it depends from individual 2 individual
