Code Pink protests the Mubarak government in Tahrir Square, Cairo, Egypt. February 2, 2011.

As the cliche goes, there are no coincidences in politics. Obama fundraiser group Code Pink just happened to have arrived in Cairo last week for the group’s ninth visit there in two years as part of its campaign to undermine the Mubarak government and help Hamas, the terrorist group that controls Gaza.
Code Pink and the media are trying to portray the leftist group's 'sudden' appearance in Cairo Wednesday as an act of courageous support for a democratic revolution. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Code Pink protests the Mubarak government in Tahrir Square, Cairo, Egypt. February 2, 2011.
Code Pink has a well-documented history of working to overthrow American allies while propping up anti-American leftist governments and terrorist regimes.
In fact, the group was founded in late 2002 to help keep the socialist Iraqi government of Saddam Hussein in power. Code Pink even traveled to Baghdad in February 2003 as guests of the tyrannical terrorist to lobby the world to keep Saddam Hussein in power.
Since then, Code Pink has worked to support the communist dictatorship of the Castro brothers in Cuba, the terrorist regime of Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the government of Fidel Castro wannabe Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. The group has visited each of these nations as guests of their respective governments.
Code Pink has also met with various terrorist groups including Hamas, the Taliban and Iraqi "insurgents." Code Pink has even acted as a messenger between terrorists and President Barack Obama.
Last year Code Pink invited the Egypt-based Muslim Brotherhood to "Join us in cleansing our country."
In January 2007 Code Pink traveled to Cuba to wage a propaganda campaign, aided by the Cuban government, that called for the closure of the United States terrorist detention facility at Guantanamo. The Ladies in White, a persecuted human rights group comprised of wives and mothers of Cuban democracy activists held in the Castros' gulags, wrote an open letter beseeching Cindy Sheehan, who accompanied Code Pink to Cuba, to inspect Cuba's prisons for human rights violations.
Code Pink interceded on Sheehan's behalf and blew off las Damas de Blanco.
The year before, in January 2006, Code Pink met with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Obama fundraiser Jodie Evans described Chavez as "a doll."

In the summer of 2009, Code Pink made no effort to travel to Tehran to support Iranian democracy activists protesting the stolen election that reelected Ahmadinejad president. How could they when just months earlier Code Pink had visited Tehran and Qom as personal guests of Ahmadinejad?
In contrast, that same summer when the Hugo Chavez ally President Manuel Zelaya of Honduras was forced from office after the nation's Supreme Court ruled he had violated the constitution by trying to stay in power past his term, Code Pink went to his aid in Honduras.
In the summer of 2008 when Russia waged war on Georgia, Code Pink snottily taunted critics who challenged the so-called antiwar group to protest the invasion with the snarky post, "Yes, we'll get right on that" to explain their inaction to defend the American ally.
In December 2007 when American ally President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan was under pressure to leave office, Code Pink traveled to Pakistan to help America's enemies increase the pressure on Musharraf. The Pakistanis rightly tossed the interlopers out of the country.
Since 2009 Code Pink has been leading an international campaign to get a blockade lifted that was imposed by Egypt and Israel after Hamas was elected to rule Gaza.
One year ago, Code Pink was in Cairo with former Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn agitating against the Mubarak government and its decision to limit the amount of aid and activists it would allow in Gaza.
Code Pink protested in the very same Tahrir Square that has become famous the past two weeks.
Code Pink brags on its Web site that its protests in Cairo helped inspire Egyptians to rise up against Mubarak.
When CODEPINK was in Cairo for the Gaza Freedom March last year, we led and participated in small, peaceful protests that were set upon by hundreds of riot police at the behest of repressive Mubarak regime.
But now there has been a seismic shift. There are not 50 people rallying in Cairo, but hundreds of thousands protesting across the nation. Dozens have been killed; hundreds have been wounded.
But the Egyptian people will not be turned back. They feel their power and are determined to seize the moment.
For those who question Code Pink's involvement in the protests to overthrow Mubarak, this report from Cairo should put that to rest.
Later Sunday afternoon one amazing event after another continues to unfold. When we left the hotel early in the afternoon, we met a human rights activist/reporter that Medea knew who invited us to come to the Egyptian Center for Economic and Social Justice, which he said was at the center of the organization of the protests. (This Center was the organizer of the April 9th Movement protests in 2008). We went into an unprepossessing building in a narrow street, climbed up about six flights of stairs and came into a room that was filled with young organizers/activists. We met with Nada Saddek, a middle aged woman who is a key person at the center...
Code Pink does not care about Egyptian democracy. Code Pink's goal is to overthrow an American ally that has helped keep the peace with Israel and been a bulwark against Islamist radicals.
What is interesting is that despite the apparent opposition in positions on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Code Pink and President Barack Obama are amazingly in sync. Obama wants Mubarak to go. So does Code Pink. Obama wanted Zelaya to stay in power. So did Code Pink. Obama hobnobs with Hugo Chavez, so does Code Pink. Obama wants to close Guantamo and is easing travel restrictions on Cuba, which mirrors Code Pink's positions. Obama is waging war on Big Oil, so is Code Pink. Obama opposed liberating Iraq, so did Code Pink. Obama wants our troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan soon regardless of the effect, so does Code Pink.
It's no wonder that one of Obama's early supporters and key fundraisers was Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans.

I think Code Pink accepts direct donations but then there are organizations like Tides Foundation that kind of launder money to groups their donors want to support without having their names directly attached to the donations.
It’s a few years old but here’s an excellent Human Events article about Code Pink:

I did a few searches on Bing (like others here, I won’t use Google) wrt ANSWER funding and found this on their site:
ANSWER is an entirely grassroots, volunteer-based organization. Our work is made possible by the generous contributions of supporters like you. Please make a donation today.

And this on the ADL site:
ANSWER and IAC are not tax-exempt organizations but receive much of their funding through a fiscal sponsor, the Progress Unity Fund (PUF). PUF is a San Francisco-based 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2000 with the mission of providing a “progressive alternative to mainstream charities.”
In 2008, PUF issued grants totaling almost $140,000 and distributed more than $80,000 to various ANSWER regional chapters. In 2007, PUF allocated approximately $270,000 in grants, of which ANSWER chapters received close to $230,000. PUF also claims to have “helped found” ANSWER in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks to “promote a peaceful alternative to racism and war.”
At least one of PUF’s four principal employees, Muna Coobtee, is affiliated with ANSWER and is a member of its Los Angeles chapter’s steering committee. Coobtee is also affiliated with the Free Palestine Alliance (FPA), the Palestinian constituency within the ANSWER coalition.
In turn, PUF is at least loosely affiliated with the Workers World Party, a Marxist-Leninist organization. PUF’s director, Keith Pavlik, whose San Francisco home is the listed address for PUF’s offices, was a journalist for the Workers World newspaper, as were two of the three other employees listed on PUF’s tax filings, Coobtee and Brenda Sandburg.
ANSWER and IAC used to rely on another little-known non-profit organization called the People’s Rights Fund (PRF) as thier fiscal sponsor. PRF, which shared an address
and a phone number with IAC’s New York office, has since disbanded.

There are so many orgs that are related, intertwined, and/or that coordinate activities, many of which appear to be funded at least in part by Soros, IMHO it would take time and several CPAs to try to unwind the funding that all of these groups receive.
Please do an expose on Code Pink and the Fallujah 4! There is a Gold Star Mom who has a blog and has been working on putting all of the pieces together. They are disgusting treasonous skanks.
Thank you for that link. Great summary!!!
Just saw an SFgate article about this. Link contained in the article to codepink’s site on Flickr. Lots of disgusting pictures there.

The lesbian sisterhood of power mad liberal leftists are a part of the evil that is happening nowdays.
The Lord gave certain signs of His 2nd advent and 2 small ones of the many that He spoke of were how Israel would be in the land and the world would be as in the days of Noah, the pre flood time when mankind in the short space of some 2000 years lived long lives and became so evil and violence filled the whole earth and man was against God so that God repented of making man and decided to destroy all flesh that had life in its nostrils from off the earth, but Noah found grace in his sight. Another gospel teaches that these days will be as the days of Lot before God destroyed them at Sodom and Gomorrah.
Matthew 24:
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: 33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass , till all these things be fulfilled . 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away , but my words shall not pass away . 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be . 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking , marrying and giving in marriage , until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came , and took them all away ; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be . 40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken , and the other left . 41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken , and the other left . 42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come . 43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come , he would have watched , and would not have suffered his house to be broken up . 44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh .
What’s in Hussein’s left ear?
pinged because Code Pink has been active in trying to break the blockade of Gaza (mentioned in article). Interesting background info on Soros connection in posting 40
Amen to that!:)
interesting, shame our corrupt biased media will not report that but it seems Soros will get control of the Suez canal.
Bush and the republicans should have clamped down on code pink and all these left wing kook groups by Soros when they could have
I’ve read somewhere on FR that the obama forces are going to raise over $2B for his next presidential campaign. Of course the FCC will not (again) find out where all of the money is coming from, i.e. Mr. poopoo from nowhere, probably from an arab land.

Speech by Vietnam-era radical William Ayers draws protesters at Georgia Southern U.

STATESBORO, Ga. (AP) — William Ayers, a 1960s-era radical who drew attention during the 2008 presidential campaign because he once served on a charity board with Barack Obama, spoke about freedom of speech and education reform to a group that included members of an organization protesting his appearance.
doing some basic research on the weather underground, i was browsing this page when i noticed their logo:
from this i immediately realized the similarity:
and yes, there are no coincidences.
Great catch!
it matters.
Bump... this old comment by you tells us that the Iran deal was just the latest manifestation of an older Soros goal; explains why the progressives are coming completely unhinged, like the witch in Wizard of Oz when the bucket of water was poured on her.
They’ve spent years and years on this crap only to see their efforts with Iran utterly rejected and in deep peril.
