Code PInk. For Peace. That's their name. But in actuality, this group of rabid women are anything BUT pacificists and I don't care what their website name says. They incite violence. They taunt. They bait. And they're scary. And they're in Miami right now. A whole whopping SIX of them.
Yesterday, Head Pinko, Medea Benjamin, brought 5 of her pink playmates to Little Havana, specifically to Versailles restaurant, the nucleus of the Cuban American community, to demand that Luis Posada Carriles, a former CIA operative who has been accused of masterminding a 1976 bombing of a Cuban civilian airplane that killed 73 people and a series of 1997 bombings in Havana, be added to the FBI's Most Wanted List. The six (the rest were shaving their armpits) angry women showed up in a garish pink truck and were greeted by 200 pissed off Cuban Americans. Just as they had planned. After all, they had bulletins and press releases on the web before the event and they did choose the most visible location to gather exile attention. Surely they did their research and didn't think that Versailles would be empty? Which begs the question, do they really care about a now elderly man being put in jail (charges against him were dropped) or were they just trying to get some media attention? I mean, do they actually believe that the almost 80-year old Posada Carriles is a threat to... anyone at this point? He was in jail in Venezuela and never convicted and he didn't get convicted for anything here. So, seems convicting him was a missed opportunity if anyone thinks he actually did what he is accused of doing. But the Pink Ladies Womyn beat a hasty retreat when confronted with a taste of their own medicine.
The bigger picture here is Code Pink's efforts to rile up the natives, in this case the Cuban American community, to get some big PR for themselves to further their anti-American, anti-military, anti-capitalist cause. I don't think they give a rat's behind what happens to Posada Carriles. The Commander-in-Chief, Benjamin, is an unabashed marxist and is no doubt still pissed that she couldn't get her 2006 New Year's Bash in Cuba off the ground. Her plan was to take lots of law-breaking Americans to Cuba to exercise their "constitutional right to travel" to Cuba. It was thwarted and the trip was cancelled because of the high risk of being punished for breaking the law. Good call!
Their co-founder, Medea (born "Susie") Benjamin is no stranger to pissing people off. She proports that her organization of womyn advocates peace in their call for an end to the Iraq War. However, it seems that every where the Pink Ladies show up, they incite some type of non-pacifist reaction or engage in it themselves.
Mizz Benjamin was one of the planners of the 1999 protests in Seattle where her rabid activists against globalization burned cars, smashed windows and created disorder in their failure to close down a World Trade Organization conference. Benjamin calls the riots “a battle cry.” The "battle cry" cost millions of dollars in damage. Benjamin was not made to pay a cent.
The erstwhile Susie Benjamin also co-founded in 2004 the organization Iraq Occupation Watch,which advocates mass desertion of military members from the armed forces. Her co-hort in this endeavor? Leslie Cagan, the pro-castro activist for the American Communist party who formed another anti-war coalition whose name I won't mention so as not to give her any more publicity. Susie-Q also spearheaded Code Stinko's efforts to collect $600,000 in medicine and supplies to send to Iraq- TO THE FAMILIES OF INSURGENTS FIGHTING AMERICAN FORCES! Of you could put two and two together and figure out that she supports the chavez regime in Venezuela and calls the time when she lived in Cuba with her then husband, the national basketball coach, like she had "died and gone to heaven." Ironically, castro ousted her from Cuba after she wrote an anti-government article for the newspaper (run by the government of course as there is no other type) for which she worked. (Oh, to have President Bush chanel castro for just a few minutes and end this code pink nonsense, fidel-style!) It seems that Private Benjamin would like her army of pinkos to create their own Cuba right here in the United States.
Consumed by her hatred of the military, democracy and capitalism, Funky Cold Medea, by her own admission, is determined to stop the military from recruiting in schools. In this quest she is also to aiding and abedding the enemy and members of her pinko group even helped the Sandanistas in Nicargaua in the 1980's. Susie worked for the Institute for Food and Development Policy which helped the marxist Sandinistas. These womyn have been around, in different incarnations, for a long time. Another member of the group, Sand Brim, flew in a specialist to operate on a Marxist Revolutionary Party commander's hand that had been injured during combat. That hand belonged to Nidia Diaz, whose group had killed four U.S. Marines just two months before. You may recall that the US backed the Contras at that time- they were fighting the Sandinistas. Apparently, giving aid to the enemy did not register on Brim's moral radar.
Co-founder of Code PInk is Jodie Evans. Jodie served on the board of directors of two organizations which the FBI ranked as the Number 1 terrorist threats (as of 2003) in the country- the Animal Liberation Front and the eco-terrorism group Earth Liberation Front. According to the FBI, as of 2003, the groups were responsible for over $43 million in damages and 600 criminal acts. These groups train their activists in agitation tactics.
So what do these womyn want? According to Front Page Magazine, their goals are simple:
"They want to redistribute wealth from the top tiers of society to the poorest Americans by raising minimum wages, choking off trade, pushing up inflation, limiting corporate growth and dragging down the stock market, cutting into the profits of the country’s largest corporations or shutting them down completely and prompting white collar layoffs." Castro-loving Benjamin admits that this plan could take 20 years or more and may destabilize the stock market and economy but it will result in a more stable economy."
Don't be fooled. These womyn do not want peace. They have a bigger agenda. They are connected with organizations who do anything but act peacefully, but people see moms wearing pink who want to bring our troops home and they go into some hypnotic trance: "Must. Bring. Troops. Home." Then they hand over money that these stinkos can and have used for the enemy.
Today they are supposed to be at an overnight vigil in Miami at a "symbolic location," which you have to call Mizz Benjamin to locate (Her phone number, by the way, can be found here on her other organization's site: NUMBER.)
Tomorrow they will be at 9am Press Conference at the Miami FBI office 16320 Northwest 2nd Avenue, North Miami Beach and at 12 noon they are having a Rally at the Office of Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen 8660 West Flagler Street, Suite 131.
Again, her phone number is HERE if you need any more details or just want to say BIEN HECHO, SOCOTROCA.
