I hope this wackjob lands in prison one of these days. She’s as nutty as that Westboro Church guy.

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.”
