VAN JONES PART OF COMMUNIST TAKE OVER OF THE USA BY OBAMA

A WND review of the 97-page treatise found that the manual describes Jones' organization as having a "commitment to the fundamental ideas of Marxism-Leninism."

"We agreed with Lenin's analysis of the state and the party," reads the
manifesto. "And we found inspiration in the revolutionary strategies
developed by Third World revolutionaries like Mao Tse-tung and Amilcar
Cabral."

Cabral is the late Marxist revolutionary leader of Guinea-Bissau and the
Cape Verde Islands.

WND previously reported Jones named his son after Cabral and reportedly
concludes every e-mail with a quote from the communist leader.

STORM's manifesto boasted, "We also saw our brand of Marxism as, in some
ways, a reclamation."

One section of the manifesto described of a vigil that Jones' group held
Sept. 12, 2001, at Snow Park in Oakland, Calif. The event drew hundreds and articulated an "anti-imperialist" line, according to STORM's own
description.

The radical group's manual boasted the 9/11 vigil was held to express
solidarity with Arab and Muslim Americans and to mourn the civilians killed
in the terrorist attacks "as well as the victims of U.S. imperialism around
the world."

"We honored those who lost their lives in the attack and those who would
surely lose their lives in subsequent U.S. attacks overseas," STORM's
manifesto recalls.

The White House did not return multiple WND requests the past few weeks
seeking comment on how Jones was screened for his position and whether the White House knew of his admitted radical past

Speaking to the East Bay Express, 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.

"I met all these young radical people of color - I mean really radical:
communists and anarchists.

And it was, like, 'This is what I need to be a
part of.' I spent the next 10 years of my life working with a lot of those
people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary," he said.
