Susan “Medea” Benjamin, co-founder of the anti-American, pro-terrorist Obama and Jerry Brown-funding group Code Pink, has publicly threatened the wife of Xe Services (formerly Blackwater) founder Erik Prince for having her arrested for trespassing at the Prince family home in McLean, Virginia on Friday.
In an article first published Monday at the leftist site Alternet, Benjamin wrote about the incident at the Prince home where she and other Code Pink activists went to protest Erik Prince for recently relocating to Abu Dhabi. Benjamin ends the article with a threat urging Mrs. Prince to drop the charges or face further harassment.
Will her husband, a man who shuns publicity, tell her that she is crazy to pick a public fight with CODEPINK (or Pinkwater, as we now call ourselves) and make her drop the charges? Will I be able to sue her for false arrest?
Benjamin’s article also was published at The Huffington Post Monday night, headlined “Blackwater vs. Pinkwater: The Wife of Erik Prince Picks a Fight With CODEPINK.” That’s right, the headline blames the victim. Benjamin describes what happened when Code Pink arrived at the Prince home. The text was the same in both articles.
But when we got there, to our surprise we could see through the window that the house was full of people and furniture. There were no moving boxes, no empty rooms. Could the new owners have settled in so quickly? Curious, I rang the doorbell and before I knew it, I was invited in and found myself inside the living room with a bunch of young children and several adults, who turned out to be grandma, grandpa and wife Joanna Prince.
The rest happened very quickly. Joanna asked who I was and why I was there. I asked the same questions: Was this the Prince family and if so, why weren’t they in Abu Dhabi? She freaked, told the grandparents to call the police, and she pushed me out the door.
Benjamin can be seen in a YouTube video that Code Pink posted, being shoved out the front door of the Prince home.
At the conclusion of both articles, Benjamin threatens Prince’s wife with further harassment and a lawsuit:
When the police arrived, Joanna Prince lied and said I’d been told to leave the house and refused. I was arrested, charged with trespassing, held for 5 hours and forced to pay $500 in bail. I have to appear in court on September 28. So does Joanna Prince. Will she show up in court or will she–like her husband–run away to Abu Dhabi? Will the court subpoena her to appear?
Will her husband, a man who shuns publicity, tell her that she is crazy to pick a public fight with CODEPINK (or Pinkwater, as we now call ourselves) and make her drop the charges? Will I be able to sue her for false arrest?
After terrorizing Mrs. Prince, her children and her children’s grandparents inside the Prince’s home, Benjamin has the gall to threaten Mrs. Prince with further harassment and legal action. The Prince family would be well-advised to seek a restraining order against Benjamin and anyone associated with Code Pink, and urge Fairfax County authorities to seek further charges against Benjamin over her public threats against Mrs. Prince. Especially since Benjamin and Code Pink have a thoroughly documented history of stalking and harassing people at their homes, workplace or out in public.
Even the mafia doesn’t go after families. But Code Pink does.
She can’t think or she would never have joined Code Pink. Period.
Now now, we don’t condone that around here.
“Michael hugs Fredo and looks at Al Neri”.
I hope this wackjob lands in prison one of these days. She’s as nutty as that Westboro Church guy.
I’d have put a few rounds into her and called it a day.
This is beyond hutzpah, it is behavior that needs criminal sanctions as an organization. I'd love to take these 'people' and Fred Phelp's Westboro 'Baptist' and a few other groups to a 'Lost-type' isolation. Would they be missed? Who would survive?
I’m guessing Mr. Prince knows some fellows who could make this little Code Pink commie dissapear without a trace.
I’m kinda surprised that Mr. Prince doesn’t own a couple of German Shepherds that could have been relied upon to encourage Ms.Benjamin’s exit. “Release the hounds!” LOL!
I see that you and I think alike... smile!
They do have a tendency to get the attention of uninvited guests :-)
I'm glad my wife is smarter than Mrs. Prince. Mrs. DCBryan would have blown a hole in her you could toss a cat through, place a sharpened screwdriver in her hand and gone Southpark on her: Officer: "She was coming right for us!!".
In all seriousness, Code whackos are messing with the wrong family, and lucky to get away unscathed.
Ms. Benjamin then lived for some time in Fidel Castro’s Communist Cuba with her first husband, who was the coach of that country’s national basketball team. (Reflecting later on her years in Cuba, she said she had felt “like I died and went to heaven.”) Cuban authorities deported Ms. Benjamin, however, after she wrote an anti-government article in the government-run newspaper for which she worked.
Benjamin moved to San Francisco in 1983 to work for Food First / The Institute for Food and Development Policy.
In 1988 she co-founded (with Kevin Danaher) the activist organization Global Exchange, which devotes its resources and manpower to a variety of leftist causes — most notably an anti-war, anti-capitalist agenda.
Benjamin was one of the principal architects of the 1999 protests in Seattle where rampaging anti-globalization activists burned cars, smashed windows and generally sowed disorder in a failed bid to shut down a conference of the World Trade Organization. Benjamin hailed the riots, which caused millions of dollars in property damage, as “a battle cry.”

Your wife needs to meet my husband. They are cut from the same cloth!
I need to learn (like Mrs. Prince) that you can’t trust anybody unless you know them.

Great movie.
Stupid, stupid woman. Threaten the family of the man who OWNS mercenaries.
I have a brace of GSDs. They do keep unwanted folks away.
Send 'em to Coventry.
