NCMR 2007: Van Jones closes Memphis conference (clip)

...One of the most eloquent speeches given all week at the National Conference for Media Reform in Memphis, Tennessee. (Sunday, Jan. 14th)

"...Van Jones, 37, is the founder and executive director of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights (EBC). Headquartered in Oakland, California, EBC is helping to lead the national fight for alternatives to the U.S. incarceration industry.

"Born in rural west Tennessee, Van completed his undergraduate degree in 1990 at the University of Tennessee at Martin. In 1993, he graduated from the Yale Law School. A pioneering human rights activist, Van is well-known as a steadfast opponent of police brutality and mass incarceration. He has worked with a variety of well-known organizations and initiatives in the social justice and environmental arenas. In recent years, Van has expanded his work to incorporate insights from ecology, spirituality and social entrepreneurship. He is now working to create environmentally friendly, "green-collar" jobs for formerly-incarcerated persons. He believes the path to peaceful streets and healthy communities is through "green-collar jobs, not jails."

@jeanniedean Fox Snooze made this man a millionaire, and helped him fund several more film projects. I had heard of him before, but few had. Now he is a household name. He will sell millions of books. The truth works!!

[MORCOPOLO0817]

And yet this mainstream media is now spewing his brand of propaganda. What a deluded jerkoff with racial bitterness that he is now acting out on by supporting the NWO evil!!!!!

determined to remain willfully ignorant brain-eaters so they can defend our new greed driven PLUTOCRACY...

(look it up. I know it' s not on your FOX worksheet.)

[jeanniedean]

Please, spare me your right / left meme and manufactured talking point rage. You're mad about stuff you didn't know you were mad about until FOX told you to be. And before you nipple-wits start spouting your pre-scripted "anti liberal" / "you're the real enemy" garbage -" I actually voted REPUBLICAN for RON PAUL BEFORE your disturbed, incest bating, sister-kissing Glenn Beck co-opted the movement and morphed it into an army of Zombies

[jeanniedean]

2. Please provide links to the videos/ transcripts where Anita dunn and Ron bloom are quoted above, and I'll be most happy to read them, tho' just to be clear, I rarely agree with Obama and his handlers.

[jeanniedean]

1. I don't know what you mean by a "non state run media" way. I'm talking facts - how is fact an example of "state run" media? It's the OPPOSITE, actually. State run media is usually a mouthpiece for the dictator in office - so I'm assuming you mean our media is what...run by liberals? Please clarify.

[ibrake4rappers]

ok lets look at white house communicatins director anita dunn and ron bloom the white house's manufacturing czar. anita dunn said mao and mother teresa were the two people she turned to most and ron bloom said that the free market system is a joke and that he agrees with mao that political power comes from the barrel of gun.  care to explain this to me in a non state run media way?

[ibrake4rappers]

i dont really watch fox news cause i dont have a tv. i get most of my news from independent media on the internet, now im sure you get your script from the state run media but it hurts me that obama wouldnt stand by his man unless he knew for sure he never did anything wrong
