A Take Back the American Dream three-day conference in Washington begins on Monday that features Van Jones, the disgraced former Obama Administration Green Jobs Czar, a Russian TV star, and a veteran of the Venceremos Brigades to Cuba who works for the AFL-CIO. Such is the nature of the modern progressive movement.
I think everybody should hold onto your seats, said Jones on Thursdays MSNBC program The Last Word With Lawrence ODonnell.
October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back, he went on. We are a part of something called the American Dream Movement. We`re having a huge summit on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Comeyou can go to rebuildthedream.com and find out more about it. We are going to build a progressive counterbalance to the Tea Party.
The Campaign for Americas Future, sponsor of the conference, depicts the conservative Tea Party as a puppet of corporate interests and protests Wall Street but remains silent about the millions of dollars that Van Jones and other progressive activists have received from hedge fund operator George Soros. Number seven on the Forbes list of the richest people in America, with $22 billion, Soros runs an alternative investment vehicle available only to the super-rich which is based off-shore and taps into mysterious sources of cash beyond the supervision of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Indeed, a sister organization of the Campaign for Americas Future, the Institute for Americas Future, has itself received $1.3 million from Soross Open Society Institute over the last several years.
Two of the conference organizers, Robert Borosage and Katrina vanden Heuvel, have just written a call to arms in The Nation magazine saying that liberals must exert more pressure on the Obama Administration and they cite the work of the Communist Party USA and other groups in forcing Franklin Roosevelt to the left and expanding federal involvement in the economy in the 1930s.

Once a top figure in a Marxist group called Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM), Jones predicts an American fall, an American autumn, just like we saw the Arab spring. You can see it right now with these young people on Wall Street. Hold onto your hats. We`re going to have an October offensive to take back the American Dream and to rescue America`s middle class.
