From Vanjo To JeJo To CaSun

Barry Hussein's radical ties just keeping oozing to the surface. As I have said all along, the people you hang with, call friends and mentors, say a lot about who you are. And we now see, those with eyes open, that Barry is a dangerous leftist radical from the ilk of the 60's devil spawns. And they are guiding the Chump and Chief.

VAN Jones resigned as White House green-jobs czar after the public got a look at his history of radical activism, including his time building the so-called Apollo Alliance -- a coalition of left-wing interest groups unified around the green-jobs concept. But another, even more radical Jones (not related) is leading Apollo's New York state activities.
Jeff Jones was a domestic terrorist in the late '60s and a fugitive from justice throughout the '70s -- yet now he's a leader of an influential, taxpayer-funded group.
Jones was a fugitive from justice for 11 years. His own account at his Web site says: "As a leader of the Weather Underground, Jeff evaded an intense FBI manhunt for more than a decade. In 1981, they finally got him. Twenty special agents battered down the door of the Bronx apartment where he was living with his wife and four-year-old son."
With Mark Rudd and Bill Ayers, Jones in 1969 co-founded the radical Weatherman, which orchestrated the violent "Days of Rage" riots in Chicago, and later undertook an anti-government bombing campaign. Three of its members died when a bomb they were constructing to attack Fort Dix accidentally detonated in Greenwich Village.
And Jones is still proud of his terrorist activities -- saying as recently as 2004: "To this day, we still, lots of us, including me, still think it was the right thing to try to do."
Now, Jones is back to revolutionary organizing -- but with taxpayers footing the bill. He's the director of the Apollo Alliance's New York affiliate and a consultant to the national group.
Apollo unifies the three most powerful elements of the political left -- environmental groups, labor unions and street organizers like ACORN -- and points them toward a common goal that enriches all of them under the banner of "green jobs." (Van Jones was an Apollo board member until he joined the White House staff.)
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid recently credited Apollo with helping write the stimulus bill and getting it passed. Yet the stimulus' "green jobs" provisions funnel federal tax dollars to unions, green groups and community organizers -- that is, the organizations that make up Apollo.
Green jobs serve a political purpose, but not an economic one. The evidence from Spain and elsewhere is ample -- each green job created destroys more than two other jobs elsewhere in the economy.
Jeff Jones counts among his consulting clients (along with Apollo) a half-dozen state and local environmental groups and the Workforce Development Institute (WDI), a union-controlled organization ("developed in partnership with the NYS AFL-CIO," it says) that works with state and local government and universities.
WDI's mission is to support union influence on state and local governments. It gets state tax dollars to do it -- to the tune of $4.8 million in this year's Education, Labor and Family Assistance budget bill.
WDI is so tightly integrated with Apollo that it features a full page of Apollo information on its Web site (wdiny.org), which appears to be the primary Web presence of Apollo's New York branch. WDI encourages its members and program participants to attend Apollo Alliance events.
As a consultant to WDI, Jones is helping write the grant proposals for federal stimulus funds -- funds authorized in the bill Apollo helped write, presumably ensuring that taxpayer dollars end up in the hands of groups that share Apollo's political agenda.
Anyone should be entitled to spend his or her own money on political organizing, but Apollo and WDI are spending taxpayer dollars to organize a coalition of extreme environmentalists, labor unions and social-justice street organizers.
That's bad enough in itself, but to have the effort spearheaded by an unrepentant domestic terrorist is a true outrage.

Harvard Law School professor Cass R. Sunstein, the president's embattled nominee to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, misfired one time too many.
Mr. Sunstein has been assuring Second Amendment advocates, including key Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, that he strongly believes the Constitution protects an individual right to bear arms. In a July 14 letter clarifying his positions at the request of the senator, Mr. Sunstein wrote: "Your first question involved the Second Amendment. I strongly believe that the Second Amendment creates an individual right to possess and use guns for purposes of both hunting and self-defense. I agree with the Supreme Court's decision in the Heller case, clearly recognizing the individual right to have guns for hunting and self-defense. If confirmed, I would respect the Second Amendment and the individual right that it recognizes."
There's no wiggle room in that statement, and Mr. Chambliss dropped his hold on the nomination based on Mr. Sunstein's assurances. But it turns out that the professor has held a certain contempt for the very viewpoint he suddenly claims to espouse.
A videotape has surfaced of a lecture Mr. Sunstein gave at the University of Chicago on Oct. 23, 2007. Here is what he said: "My coming view is that the individual right to bear arms reflects the success of an extremely aggressive and resourceful social movement and has much less to do with good standard legal arguments than [it] appears." Discussing the anti-gun laws in the District of Columbia, he said a critic of such strict gun control would say that a "trigger lock interferes with his efforts at self-defense against criminals. What on Earth does that have to do with the Second Amendment as originally understood?"
Later in the lecture, Mr. Sunstein said, "My tentative suggestion is that the individual right to have guns as it's being conceptualized now is best taken as a contemporary creation and a reflection of current fears - not a reading of civic-centered founding debates."
Mr. Sunstein's overt hostility to the idea that the Constitution protects an individual right to bear arms, including for purposes of self-defense, is not something that should be welcomed from somebody whose job might entail weighing in on the value of anti-gun regulations. It also makes his more recent assurances that he is a Second Amendment stalwart seem rather disingenuous, at the very least.

Emerson Drake Attacks His "Foes" As Nazis?

This is what truthseekers...aka Emerson Drake, is attempting to do in this recent post at The Hive. He can be seen on video at a recent city council meeting. He has attacked PMZ and others around the Modesto City area with false claims. He links to The Voice of Modesto as to blurr the lines between his own words and someone elses. Typical for this individual.

Modesto Tea Party, What the Bee Didn’t Show You
The conservative wing of the Republican Party threw a tea party at noon on August 14, at 1010 10th St. in the Plaza. Attending, along with at least one out of town minister, were local DJ Dave Diamond, George Petralakis (who is the political money dispenser and door man for the developers and Mike Zagaris), and Joan Clendenin, Vice-Chair of the Republican party along with about 150 of their friends.

Although most of the exchanges between the two groups were spirited, I was dismayed by something I saw on the teabaggers side. It was a sign being carried by a local and before it’s suggested, it wasn’t an ACORN plant. The sign was cheered by the rowdy throng of “baggers.” President Obama in white face and a swastika were prominently displayed.

Hello Tex

You introduced yourself as Tex a few years ago, and now you are stating your name as Emerson Drake at the council meeting. I am sure there will be a few smiling faces in the cyber world. Since you like to make false claims and attacks on police, businesses, and local county and city figures. So Emerson, welcome out into the light! Here you are addressing the council. And it is nice to see Mrs. Keeting put you into your place. And I like the fact that Stanny has changed his tune from calling some local LE officers murderers. This meeting is from August 5th of this year.

Sounds Like A Good Soap Opera

Looks as though a concerned citizen who has made many potential false claims against local business people is at it again. Thanks to The Bee for publishing Emerson Drake's and Mr. Petrulakis' comments. Sounds like a showdown from an ol' west movie with "Tex" and "Festus" in the middle of the street.
If you want to here more of Emerson's comment's, who can go to http://www.blogtalkradio.com/search/modesto/
Or you can read comments by like minded citizens at The Hive. I would click on Truthseekers blog...aka Tex. He sounds like the twin brother of Emerson Drake.

Modesto land-use attorney George Petrulakis and concerned citizen Emerson Drake cut to the meaty issues last week at joint City Council-Planning Commission meeting on how Modesto should revise its general plan.
Drake: Make developers pay for building on prime farmland.
Petrulakis: Don’t impose a fee for communitywide social benefit on one class of people – new homeowners.

The Hypocrite G Maudlin

Just had to post the biggest hypocritical blogger in Stanislaus county. He dabbles in real estate, so be careful, he might just be looking to rip you off. Here are a few of his words, Gin induced most likely! He is also quite the cyber attack artist.

"I would like you to give me an example of what I have exaggerated. Give me a break. I don't think you can."
I can and like I said the proverbial moron and "nothing but human sperm" requests permission to speak.
You received this car 100% bought and taxes paid for,... with all smiles on your part, I might add. Keys turned over.
And then you state the photo exposed your identity. That's what I call exaggerated.
"Moron" requesting permission to leave blog now. And thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to set things straight.
Peace Out everyone and have a great Tuesday. I will.

Common Sense To Solve The USA's Debt

Lets start with the doing away with the current tax system and replacing it with a national tax. Next, close down social security, medicare and medicade. Return the money paid in to these programs to the people. Sure beats giving billions and trillions to these unconstitutional waste programs. Same with Fanny, Freddie, and any other program where the federal government is acting out of its role. Then, bring home all the troops world wide that are not in Iraq or Afghanistan. Then, extract 3 trillion dollars worth of oil from Iraq to cover their "freedom" tab. Lastly, place the troops that are brought home on both borders and at all ports of entry and international airports to inspect all non American citizens and non American shipments.
We have allowed too much of our personal duites to be given/taken over to the government, who use these programs to collect power and money, thus enslaving the American people.
