2005 : (DAN ELLSBERG, CODE PINK, KUCINICH & GREEN FESTIVAL)
The throngs of “anti-war” marchers heading to DC to attend the September 24th rally don’t know that they are being used.
CodePINK and United For Peace and Justice are both prodigy of Global Exchage, the 501(3)c non-profit formed by Global’s Medea Benjamin.
It’s the “Benjamins For Benjamin Weekend”!.
Using the attraction of a Hate America event to lure attendees, Code Pink’s Medea Benjamin’s cash cow, Global Exchange, has scheduled one of it’s “Green Festivals” for the same weekend and is running it in competition with the anti-war events scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
How convenient?
How many people will wind up at the Green Festival instead of in the streets? How much profit will Medea Benjamin make?
Global Exchange made over $7 million in 2003, why a run the Green Festival in competition with the anti-war march on the 24th?
Friday night is a “fund raiser” for the Green Festival, price $50.
Saturday and Sunday, you can attend the Green Festival at the Convention Center, provided of course you had Medea and her husband, Kevin Danaher, the $15 for a ticket.
On the schedule as a speaker are Medea herself and “Authors and activist from the new CODEPINK book, Stop the Next War Now”. How nice. How profitable.
WHY IS AIR AMERICA BROADCASTING FROM MEDEA’S MONEY MAKER INSTEAD OF THE ANTI WAR RALLY?
Why are Amy Goodman, Congressman Dennis Kucinich, Greg Palast, Lester Brown, ***Daniel Ellsberg***, Alisa Gravitz, John deGraaf, Lois Gibbs, Rev. Graylan Hagler, Dr. Alan Greene. Priya Haji, Van Jones, Gifford Pinchot III, Nora Pouillon, Barbara Krumsiek, Nora Poullion, Brock Evans, Ariel Gore, Michael Toms, Zoe Weil and other visionary leaders speaking at the Green Festival and not the rally? Because it’s the “Benjamins for Benjamin Weekend”!

Now, everyone... ask yourself what our little communist nit infestation wants us to take away from the main thread article and others like it that they have written and promoted?
