If this isn't proof enough, besides all the mountains of evidence, they definitely are the new astroturf movement

Watch out America, according to a random, unsourced blog post, Van Jones has...um...something something.

I like how the linked article just repeats the same wild-eyed junk, and doesn't even attempt to prove it's central assertion. "He once signed a petition! He called himself a commie back in the early 1990s! He said white people steered pollution to black neighborhoods*! And now he's running Rebuild the Dream!" these don't really have much to do with Occupy Wall Street.

*Van Jones is correct here: pollution is higher in black neighborhoods, because white-owned businesses steered pollution into them, via dumping of toxins, concentrating bus depots, and the like. Get over it.
