CODE PINK GIVES $600,000 TO THE 'OTHER SIDE' IN FALLUJAH (TREASON ALERT!)
Saturday, January 1, 2005 | Kristinn

Posted on 01/01/2005 6:29:45 AM PST by kristinn

American citizen Medea Benjamin, a leader of the anti-American group Code Pink, announced in Amman, Jordan this week that Code Pink, it's parent group Global Exchange and Families for Peace have donated $600,000 in aid to the 'other side' in the terrorist haven city of Fallujah in Iraq.

This news, which has been ignored by the media worldwide, was reported by Agence France Press but was picked up by only two small news outlets:

"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'," said Medea Benjamin, the founding director of Global Exchange, a human rights group.

"It is a reflection of a growing movement in the United States ... opposed to the unjust nature of this war," she said.

"This is the positive face of the American people which we would like to show ... so that we are not looked at with animosity but with love. Our hearts go out to the people of Fallujah and to all the Iraqi people," she said.

Medea Benjamin and those working with her, opposed the liberation of the people of Iraq from the brutal reign of Saddam Hussein. They call themselves human rights activists, yet they support the worst human rights violators in the world from Fidel Castro to the terrorists in Fallujah.

With American troops in harm's way in Fallujah, Medea Benjamin's proud admission that she and her cohorts are giving aid to the 'other side' should be grounds for her arrest for treason.

Code Pink along with their anti-American friends International ANSWER--whose leader Ramsey Clark is one of Saddam Hussein's defense lawyers--will be protesting President Bush at his Inaugural Parade on January 20, using permits issued by the U.S. government.

If this ain't treason I don't know what is. If she skates then I will have given up hope for our country.

The leftist media would turn her into a martyr. Instead of "Free Mumia" rallies they would have "Free Medea" rallies.

Tempting, but no. A nice, long prison sentence (say 99 years per $10,000, or, even better, "the shot") would suit me just fine. She's up there with the Rosenbergs and has the right to keep breathing to about the same degree.

Ugh. That's what I get for thinking of two concepts at the same time and not typing fast enough to correctly portray either...my previous post came as some sort of mangled Frankenstein's monster. I guess what I meant to say is that she would be a martyr, killed by "angry white men", "red-staters", blah, blah, blah (which would be in fact true, but the point is her martyrdom). Better to have her tried and sentenced -- she'll still be a martyr a'la Mumia, but it's the better end.

Does this mean I'm authorized to terminate her if I see her?

When Sean Hannity returns next week, someone should request that he replay a 2003 debate on his show between a Code Pink representative and David Horowitz.

The Code Pinkos were kicking off their media existence with a vigil outside the White House protesting the war in Iraq, and Sean asked the CP rep why she didn't protest in when Bill Clinton bombed Iraq in 1998 in an apparent attempt to distract attention from his upcoming impeachment. Stymied, the CP bimbo could be heard over the phone (and the listening audience) whispering the question to someone beside her! She had no answer, no idea what to say.

That all anyone needs to know about the Code Pinkos.

Members of Families for Peace, Code Pink and Global Exchange announce that they have sent 600,000 USD in humanitarian aid to the displaced people of Fallujah.(AFP/Khalil Mazraawi)

Fri Dec 31,12:54 PM ET AMMAN (AFP) - Jordanian police banned relatives of US servicemen killed in Iraq and members of anti-war groups from holding a candlelit vigil outside UN headquarters, an AFP correspondent reported.

A police officer at the scene in western Amman told reporters the protest was banned because the activists failed to get a permit from the authorities three days ago in line with the law and urged everyone to leave the area.

"The police banned us and asked us to leave for security reasons," said Medea Benjamin, the founding director of human rights group Global Exchange which is opposed to the US-led war in Iraq.

"We are all very upset because we had done similar protests all over the world. We're very shocked," she said.

As the protesters walked away they sang a refrain from one of John Lennon's classic songs" "All we are saying, is give peace a chance."

Benjamin was among a group of 15 people, most of them US citizens, who carried candles and banners with the word "peace" who wanted to stage a peaceful protest outside UN headquarters in Amman.

She said the group, including members of Families for Peace and women's anti-war group Code Pink, will go ahead with plans to hold a candlelit vigil Saturday on the Jordan-Iraq border to protest US involvement in Iraq.

The group recently sent 600,000 dollars worth of humanitarian aid to residents of the Iraqi town of Fallujah who were displaced by a massive US-led assault in November.

This may be the same person in a clip from a communist/palestinian appreciation march in SF June last summer:

Code Pinkos Chanting

Earlier in May they were in Santa Rosa.

These are their supporters

These people go around the globe stirring up treason against our country. If we had a declared war they could be put away for treason.

You know.. I wish she'd go over there and help them personally, and even take a camera so we can see them rip her head off. It makes me SICK that American citizens can be so disgusting.

She really needs to put the damn burka on herself. She's ugly inside and out, and I'd rather she put a bag over her head.

Umm, and WHY isn't she over in Iraq passing out the aid herself??

I've edited this post a dozen times to filter out all the expletives I filled it with. Too bad I've progressed from my "stomp a mudhole in your @ss and walk it dry" phase.

I'll never forget her name, and if the time ever came that our paths crossed, she'd never forget mine.

I will write and call everyone you mentioned. Aside from the Attorney General, the Justice Dept. and Congress, anyone else I can call/write?

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. She (and her organization) doesn't deserve my husband and his brothers putting their lives on the line for her.

What's wrong with people??? I can't even begin to understand this.

THEN you will see them all over the lamestream media.
They can't report treasonous activity as it happens,but they can report the "trampling of first amendment rights".
So ironic,that the commies in this country can run to the constitution for cover but stomp it into the ground when it doesn't suit their needs.This needs immediate and forceful attention.
