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.

"American citizen Medea Benjamin"

Disgusting
Should be "Former American Citizen"


I would prefer, the LATE Medea Benjamin. But that's just me.

These people need to go to jail. How do we alert the Homeland Security people and Congress to this?

Are you suggesting that to be fair we should be funding Al-Qaeda and other terrorists?
That since we destroy some areas that we are the same as the terrorists that we are slowly destroying?
What in the world are you saying?

Or for the CIA, provided Goss puts some teeth back into it.

Hell, take the whole organization out Porter! Cut the brake lines on their 'peace bus', or poison their soy or something, damn it!

Meantime, I hope some 'others' try to whack these scumbags too!

"Should we judge PINK, when we have done the same?"

You don't know much about Medea Benjamin or Code Pink, do you? When she says "the other side" she means "the Other Side"

"I just don't see how a group of citizens giving medical supplies to Iraqi doctors is treason. Sorry."

You forgot to mention two words here, that is "enemy" Iraqi doctors, the ones treating those Iraqi's fighting us, not the ones supporting us, and it is "American" citizens giving to those battling against American forces.

U.S. Constitution Article III Section 3
Treason against the United States, shall consist only of levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.

Merriam-Webster
Treason - The offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the defender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign's family.
The betrayal of a trust.
LEVY- to carry on, to wage war
Wage - To be in the process of occurring
Adherence - To give support or maintain loyalty

To Mr.Conor, i just cannot see how this is not TREASON. Sorry.
HANG EM HIGH !

I don't believe this.

Maybe we can figure out exactly where these women got hold of $600,000.00 to donate?

Of course it is. Aiding and abetting the enemy is considered treason.

Largely, but not completely. I am sure our wounded enemy combatants are being treated by somebody. I guess thanks to
Code Pink, we now all know by who.

I wouldn't be surprised if George Soros had a hand in this. His filthy mitts seem to be in just about everything. I just googled "Global Exchange + George Soros." Came up with quite a few hits. Here's one:

The now-defunct Soros Documentary Fund gave Medea Benjamin money to produce “Indonesia: Islands on Fire.” Benjamin is best known as head of Global Exchange, an organization that takes credulous leftists on propaganda tours highlighting the “successes” of socialist nations and the “horrors” of American foreign policy. Benjamin played a leading role in the violent 1999 World Trade Organization protests in Seattle, and in the 2001 G-8 protests in Genoa, Italy, which also ended in violence. Most recently, she teamed up with Leslie Cagan to form International Occupation Watch, whose professed goal was to get U.S. GIs stationed in Iraq to declare themselves conscientious objectors and get them sent home. This, wrote Benjamin in The Nation last April, would cause the war effort to collapse and force us to beat a hasty retreat from other terrorist hotspots. In the same piece, Benjamin endorsed “preemptively” sending human shields to hot spots like North Korea and Iran. Like Cagan, Benjamin has described Marxist Cuba as “heaven” and has found her way onto the foundations’ gravy train.

"Largely". "For the most part".
It does not matter how small in scale it might be, if this money from American citizens finds it's way into the hands of one doctor who treats an enemy combatant and this combatant comes back to fight again against American troops, than this group, Code Pink, no matter how you try to explain it, has committed the crime of TREASON.

Actually what I did was enter "Global Exchange" and then 'search within results' then added "George Soros." Anyway, I did the same with "Code Pink" and "Medea Benjamin" and Soros' name. There sure seem to be a lot of hits for all of those combinations.
