To Fallujah, With Love (from Waxman and Code Pink)

Pillars of the Hate America Left, who have taken great pains to aid the enemy in every American military venture for 20 years, just returned {in January) from Iraq, where they delivered more than half-a-million dollars in aid to “the other side”– with the full knowledge and consent of left-wing Congressman Henry Waxman, D-CA.

Waxman signed a letter allowing radical leftist Medea Benjamin and a dozen of her cohorts – some of whom had lost relatives in the Iraq War – to slip the $600,000 of cash and supplies into camps housing refugees from Fallujah, with less outside scrutiny of its contents. The letter was given to Fernando Suarez del Solar, an amnestied illegal immigrant from Mexico and antiwar speaker for the leftist organization Global Exchange, who lost his son Jesus Suarez in Iraq...More troubling than the fact that Waxman’s letter probably sped those supplies through military security is the remaining question: Who was the intended recipient of this collection of left-wingers’ philanthropy?

Medea Benjamin gave some indication in a story that ran on the Agence France Presse wire service on New Year’s Eve. “I don't know of any other case in history in which the parents of fallen soldiers collected medicine...for the families of the ‘other side,’” Benjamin said. “It is a reflection of a growing movement in the United States...opposed to the unjust nature of this war.” Is it possible Medea intended to aid Iraqi terrorists?

Benjamin is best known as the founder of three of the Left’s most effective activist organizations: Global Exchange, Code Pink, and International Occupation Watch. ..

Of all the needy villages in Iraq, why did these Hate America leftists choose to deliver aid to a hotbed of terrorism like Fallujah? ...

Does anyone have any more info on this? If it is true, it is devastating and Waxman has some 'splainin' to do. A New York Times best-selling author says to members of the supposed "peace movement" delivered hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and supplies to terrorists engaged in a bloody street battle against United States Marines in Iraq.

Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson's (U.S. Air Force-Ret.) Book is entitled War Crimes: The Left's Campaign to Destroy Our Military and Lose the War on Terror.

In the book, he claims that two anti-war groups -- "United for Peace & Justice" and "CODEPINK: Women for Peace" -- literally gave aid and comfort to terrorists when they delivered $600,000 in cash and supplies they claim was humanitarian aid to civilians.

According to Patterson, Congressman Henry Waxman (D-California) facilitated the transaction for CODEPINK by signing a letter allowing them to get the cash and supplies into Fallujah.

20 YEARS HELL!

The left has NEVER been pro-America. From its US Civil War origins, the left has always consistently stood for elitism, from slavery to socialism. Their only concern for America as a nation, has been and remains as a place they want to control and rule, as part of an empire as grasping as that of the Muslims. To gain power is what matters. Once it is gained, the objective must be to keep power. Its wise use is unimportant.

They care nothing for the foundations of the United States, except in how they can manipulate and distort them for their benefit, and to exclude such benefits from others.

America is just a piece of their Internationale, a stepping stone to be used as their control sector of planetary union.

And except for their leftist brethren, many so hate everyone else that they publicly wish them to die, en masse, so that every trace of their lives could be erased, that their existence be forgotten, and so that the New Jerusalem can begin. A return to the Garden of Eden on Earth, devoid of the hoi polloi who do not deserve its bounty.

The platform of the left can be reduced to just these two things: elitism and death. Power to the elites, and death to everyone else, in as many ways as possible. The rules set forth to domineer the masses do not, and never have, applied to the elites: they think themselves above the law.

Pleasure, for the left, is never in the elevation of others, because the joy of their lives is to feel superior to others, a reflection of a deep and abiding neurotic sense of inferiority. That is why, when they offer largesse to the poor and downtrodden, it is always conditional that they remain poor and downtrodden. They must be prevented from rising above their destitution, to continue to be objects of inferiority for the left.

Prosperity for all is like gall and wormwood in the mouths of the left; their food loses its flavor when others enjoy its savor. That is why their banquets must be held in clear view of the starved and distraught, who are kept at bay by a protective ring of enforcers paid for by the masses.

And yet the left remains ever puzzled by the resiliency of the system they hold in such contempt. Even a single potent and clear-sighted leader such as Ronald Reagan can not only reverse decades of their schemes, but fracture the possibility of their resurrection for a generation.

But they are convinced beyond any doubt that America will either be completely under their sway and domination, or that America will be destroyed, because it must be destroyed. It is an edifice of the fall from Grace, when mankind was expelled from the State Of Nature, or the Garden of Eden.

For them, the United States is like the Tower of Babel, yet one that stubbornly refuses to collapse, despite their best efforts to demolish it.

Here is the first thread (posted January 1, 2005) about Code Pink's donation to help the terrorists:
CODE PINK GIVES $600,000 TO THE 'OTHER SIDE' IN FALLUJAH (TREASON ALERT!)

And here is the follow-up thread(posted January 2, 2005), about Waxman's collusion with Code Pink's treasonous act:
REP. HENRY WAXMAN INVOLVED IN CODE PINK'S AID TO THE 'OTHER SIDE' IN FALLUJAH

It's all true. Though it's sad that it took two-plus years for this news to get out into the mainstream (via Patterson's book), at least now it's out there; and I hope that, on his book tour Patterson will be asked (and allowed to answer) about Waxman and Code Pink's treason.

Why do I think Katie Couric and the New York Times will overlook this story?
