Phony Code Pink protests… Scott Walker?

Obama just started another war in Libya, where was Code Pink? It’s pretty self explanatory. Code Pink is a radical left-wing revolutionary group using “anti-war” as a cover. Here. I’ll show you:

  • Founded by pro-Castro radical Medea Benjamin

Oh, there is much more than just this that, that meets the eye with the anti-American radical Code Pink:

Launched on November 17, 2002, Code Pink: Women for Peace describes itself as a “grassroots peace and social justice movement” whose self-defined mission is “to end the war in Iraq, stop new wars, and redirect our resources into healthcare, education and other life-affirming activities.” Rejecting “the Bush administration’s fear-based politics that justify violence,” the organization calls instead “for policies based on compassion, kindness and a commitment to international law.” Code Pink was founded by four radicals: Jodie Evans, Medea Benjamin, Diane Wilson, and a radical Wiccan activist calling herself Starhawk. Ms. Evans is the nominal leader of the organization, which works closely with Medea Benjamin’s group Global Exchange and Leslie Cagan’s antiwar coalition United For Peace and Justice….

Soon after a September 2008 meeting with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in New York City, Code Pink launched a pro-Hamas, anti-Israel campaign. That November, Jodie Evans and Code Pink visited Iran at the personal invitation of Ahmadinejad. The group stayed mainly in Tehra. Davood Mohammad Niar, head of the U.S. Desk of Iran’s Foreign Ministry, escorted the group on a visit the holy city of Qom.

In December 2009 Code Pink led an international delegation of anti-Israel leftists to Gaza, where they delivered “tens of thousands of dollars in humanitarian aid” as a gesture of defiance against Israel’s blockade (designed to prevent the importation of weaponry) of the Hamas-controlled region. Hamas protected the marchers during their two-day stay in Gaza by tightly controlling their movements and contacts in Gaza, and by having them stay in a Hamas-owned, 5-star hotel that one marcher described as “the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed at.” Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh addressed the marchers in Gaza via cell phone, while other Hamas officials spoke to them in person.

Next, the marchers went to Egypt where they participated in the Hamas-organized “Gaza Freedom March,” again to protest Israeli policy. Before the group departed for Egypt, Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin told the media that Hamas “has pledged to ensure our safety.” Joining Code Pink on the trip were former Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.

The trip to Gaza and Egypt was timed to mark the one-year anniversary of Israel’s December 2008 defensive action against Hamas terrorists in Gaza, who had fired some 3,300 rockets into Israel during the preceding months. Hamas marked the anniversary by launching a number of rockets into Israel while the organization hosted the Code Pink delegation.

During the trip, Code Pink endorsed the “Cairo Declaration to End Israeli Apartheid” authored by pro-Hamas leftists who likewise had gathered for the “Gaza Freedom March.”  The declaration called for a wide-ranging boycott of Israeli economic, travel, academic, and cultural endeavors.

Between 2008 and 2010, Code Pink made nine trips to Egypt in a campaign to undermine the Egyptian government, which was on friendly terms with Israel and was helping to enforce the Israeli blockade against Gaza. Then, when riots erupted in Egypt in late January 2011 — ostensibly protesting the autocratic and corrupt regime of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak — Code Pink representatives were on the ground in Cairo from the very start of the uprising. In early February 2011, Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin reported that her organization had already raised more than $10,000 for the anti-Mubarak protesters. Nonetheless, Code Pink issued an emergency appeal for an additional $5,000 to fund “the next big uprising” against the Egyptian government.

Code Pink receives financial support from the Tides Foundation, the Streisand Foundation, and the New Priorities Foundation.

Notice the Tides Foundation. Who’s behind the Tides Foundation? You know the old saying, “follow the money,” right? If you do that, you will find none other than George Soros. You’re not surprised, are you?
