Well, well, well… Look who has been caught with their hand in the ‘progressive’ cookie jar… None other than the Department of Justice. They have cast off the outdated red, white and blue for a sleek black masthead with a really cool Marxist/Progressive quote:
The common law is the will of Mankind issuing from the Life of the People
Catchy, huh? Just one tiny little (too small to be relevant obviously) point – the quote is from C. Wilfred Jenks, who in the 1930’s was a leading proponent of the “international law” movement, which had as its goal to impose a global common law and which backed ‘global workers’ rights.’ Call it Marxism, call it Progressivism, call it Socialism – under any of those names it definitely makes the DOJ look corrupt in their sleek, new black website with Marxist accessories to match.
On the cutting edge of technology and counterterrorism, the site utilizes social networking sites to ‘interact’ with American citizens. Well, I for one feel all warm and fuzzy knowing the DOJ will be watching those ‘dangerous’ bloggers. Oops, I guess I’m one of them. You don’t think they would abuse their surveillance of us do you? If you don’t think so, I have some prime property for you. Just ask…
The quote at the beginning of this post is credited to Jenks, a man who made a place at the collective table for socialists and communists at the U.N., and inspired the global “workers rights movement.” Jenks was a long-time member of the United Nation’s International Labor Organization and the author of a number of globalist tracts, including a set of essays published back in 1958 entitled The Common Law of Mankind. Jenks also belonged to The League of Nations.
From The American Spectator (read the whole article – it is very good):
Most telling: Jenks, as director of the ILO is credited with putting in place the first Soviet senior member of the UN organization, and also with creating an environment that allowed the ILO to give “observer status” to the Palestinian Liberation Organization, and to issue anti-Israeli statements, which precipitated efforts by the U.S. Congress to withdraw U.S. membership from the ILO. The U.S. actually did withdraw in the mid-1970s due to the organization’s leftist leanings.
“It was Jenks’s efforts that helped make the ILO a tool of the socialist and communist movement,” says one of the DOJ lawyers. “We used to joke about how fitting it was that this was Janet Reno’s favorite quote to use in speeches, and now the Obama folks think it encapsulates out department’s mission.”
Suggestions to highlight quotes from the U.S. Constitution or Bill of Rights or quotes from the Founders, the Federalist Papers or prominent American jurists were quickly shot down by the Department of Justice’s media and new media teams, according to DOJ sources familiar with the design process, and the White House communications shop was given input to the overall design as well.
There you have it… Founding Fathers need not apply – who needs them when you have a Progressive/Marxist to lead the legal way?

Thanks for letting us know about this TMH.
They’re telling us directly that they’ve transformed our country… putting it right there for all to see. Wonder if it’s coincidence that they changed it right after taking over our nations financial industry?
Sure hope more people wake up and see what’s being put right in front of them. We all need to speak up, speak loudly, and spread the word!!
I notice the DOJ/White House also changed the DOJ seal… it no longer carries America’s colors. On the bright side, at least they didn’t make it purple (SEIU’s color).
On second thought, there is no bright side, so let’s scratch that.
NancyJ said it for me, nice article about our leftist administration.

What’s wrong with advocating for workers’ rights?
I’m a pastor and very conservative and I think the workers are America’s most important people.
Pastor – there is nothing wrong with it if you are doing it just for the workers and not the collective unions who in the end are interested in their power and wealth and not the workers… Unions in America keep wanting raises for the workers and increased pensions and this is unsustainable. Not to mention the fact that the workers’ pension funds have been abused by the unions and in many cases drained.
Jesus would have supported unions, they do more good than harm.
I respectfully disagree and I do not think it is anyone’s place to presume they know what Jesus or God would do. Do you? Or are you into social justice and collective salvation?
PastorMike, what is wrong is when the Government usurps the rights of one group to supposedly protect those of another group. The only way you will continue to preach your beliefs is if we fight diligently to protect ‘individual liberty’ and not fall for the Marxist-socialist, Communist deception – “we will protect you” when you cannot protect yourself. Study collectivism and progressivism and how these ‘isms’ have been working since the late 1800’s to destroy your right to preach. “Workers rights” are only protected when each individual’s rights are protected.
PastorMike, I strongly disagree that Unions have done more good than harm. Unions have single-handedly allowed for massive private and public corruption and have created the massive entitlement programs which are detroying our economies. This is not good stewardship of our government or our businesses. You see, you cannot legislate morality, equality or corporate responsibility. A nation will live or die based upon individual responsibility – be that of the Corporate CEO’s integrity in treatment of employees, or in the employee’s integrity in putting in a hard day’s work with quality output. Anytime the “government” has to step in, or a “union” has to step in and force integrous, responsible behavior, to that same degree we have lost our freedom and liberty. When we lose our freedom and liberty, no matter how seemingly good the purpose, we start down a slippery slope to tyranny. Within tyranny, your pulpit is controlled by the same people who end up controlling unions. Today, we are in tremendous danger of unions like the SEIU becoming the de-facto destroyers of freedom. Be careful to watch out for the “greater good” from the serpent’s tongue.
PatriotCEO – well said on both comments. You put it into words much better than I did and you are spot on…
We shall agree to disagree. Thanks for keeping it civil.
To TMH yes I believe in social justice 100%, I am a Christ follower after all.
Seriously?
PastorMike, I gotta call you on the “pastor” thing.
“The workers” are most important? Certainly an altruistic sentiment, but basically a semantically null assertion.
Mr. Mike, everyone who is productive and who is paid for that production is a worker. The company president works for a living. The executives work for a living. The guys in engineering work for a living. The programmers work for a living. And in a small business, the owner works harder than pretty much anyone he has on his payroll. To assert that there is some separate and “special” class called “workers” is foolish and dishonest. You’re pushing the idea that employees are somehow victims, and it’s BS.
And this “social justice” crap? Marxism. And Marx denied Christ (and God, for that matter).
Nah, you’re no pastor; you’re a partisan troll.
Be off with you, faker.
I have no time for lying poseurs, and no compelling reason to show them any civility.

I will pray for you Arfin.
Don’t bother.
Your transmitter isn’t tuned to any celestial wavelengths.
Sell your materialist wares somewhere else.
You have no buyers here.

Trolling under the guise of religious piety and social justice is forbidden here. PastorMike (or whoever you are), you are banned. Go troll over at Media Matters where you will be welcomed with open arms.
What church to you belong to, Pastor Mike?
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
I suspect “PastorMike” has returned to his rock.
I suspect you are right Layla… 🙂
The DOJ is misnamed under Obama. There is no true justice under Obama.
What else would we expect from the Saul Alinsky disciple, the “spread the wealth around” sympathizer, and the communist party (Van Jones) employer. Obama and his administartion hates the constitution. Obama is a globalist advocate. The ignorance plus left wing socialism of the electorate of this country displayed during 2008 election is appalling. All the evidence was right there before them but they refused to see it.
