Alex and Texas Mars bashing Code Pink

[Valerius]

I'm not an atheist and i don't belong to any religion at all. Religion is all about controlling your thoughts, its that simple.So if you're not religious what is your belief?

It could be anything. Being not religious could be like non-partisan. It can take many shapes.

[squarepusher]

The only way to do that is to find a female patriot to infiltrate one of their "protests" and bring out a sign which lists the foundations - in large bold print - which fund Code Pink. And you get it on camera and upload it to YouTube or Veracity Videos.

AFAIK Code Pink does not do much in the way of rallies or protests anymore now Obama is in. They're on standby - they have been given their marching orders by the big foundations to lay low.

They'll probably come out of the woodwork once Obama is out and the right is in power again.

Then start up a "fake but convincing" Code Pink group and expose the connections to the REAL Code Pink and the foundations.

Or do a "Code Pink members as The Joker" poster with the following text at the bottom:

"FOUNDATION-FUNDED CONTROLLED OPPOSITION"

[Valerius]

Have they done any protesting of Obama?

That's not a bad idea, but it should be a split-screen type of poster showing both a left "controlled-opposition" group, and one on the right as well.

That's an important test of these protest groups. Do they fall silent when their man is in office.

CODEPINK denounces Obama plan for Afghanistan
Calls for reallocation of war funds in American needs, rapid withdrawal, diplomacy

WASHINGTON -- At a time of sky-high unemployment, rising cost of living and lower wages, and outrageous corporate bail-outs and bonuses, CODEPINK Women for Peace condemns President Obama's announced plan today on Afghanistan, which will continue to drain billions from on our economy, further destabilize the Middle East and Central Asia, and threaten worldwide security. CODEPINK calls for a reallocation of war funds into the needs of the American people: health care, education and infrastructure, a rapid withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Afghanistan, the closing of bases, and tireless diplomatic engagement with Afghan and Pakistan governments.

The strategy, which calls for an increase of 4,000 combat troops and spending 60 percent more than current levels of $2 billion per month, will fuel the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, increasing their numbers. It will also lead to more civilian deaths -- in 2008, amid U.S. military operations, civilian casualties climbed 40 percent. In addition, the planned American civilian official and corporate private contractor "surge" of more than 900 will further alienate Afghans, who increasingly view the U.S. as an occupying force, lead to greater insurgent activity and decrease security, while boosting American corporate profits.

"Sending more Americans to kill and die in a quagmire in Afghanistan is a tragic mistake," said Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODEPINK. "Obama needs to live up to his promise of change by reversing course — focusing on negotiations and bringing our troops home."

Americans do no want, nor can they afford, another war without end. A USA Today/Gallup Poll earlier this month found 42 percent of Americans felt the Afghanistan war was "a mistake," an increase of 30 percent earlier this year and 34 percent in August 2008. The six-year Iraq War has cost the U.S. $600 billion.

Anger and resistance to escalated occupation in Afghanistan has begun to brew in Congress, as last week, 14 House Republicans and Democrats sent Obama a letter urging him to "reconsider" his order deploying 17,000 additional US troops to Afghanistan, and that "any perceived military success in Afghanistan might create pressure to increase military activity in Pakistan. This could very well lead to dangerous destabilization in the region and would increase hostility toward the United States."

The only "left-wing" group I've seen routinely criticize Obama for continuing the Bush-era warmongering is The World Can't Wait. Trouble is, WCW subscribes to the official story about the murder of Dr. Tiller and uses that to smear anti-abortion activists as terrorists. So WCW is a gatekeeper group but not as much a gatekeeper as DailyCIA and Media Matters and Think Progress.

[deconstructmyhouse]

I don't think they are practicing witches or disinfo agents...
just deluded and irrelevant, and they are being used (certainly by the people Sane refers to) as a soft repository for lazy women who object to wars and corruption but really don't want to change their lives in any significant way. 

[Wanted]

oh my you people are gullible. 

[spangler]

What I said was:

1] Look at the code pink/rockefeller connections...

then...

2] stuff about the incident.

Without 1], I agree that my insinuations have little validity.

I'm not disputing the Rockefeller connection. I just wanted to stay real about the hearing incident.

The pink handcuffs and Dick Cheney: war criminal bashing are a dead giveaway that these women have been drinking the kook aid, at the very least

I saw those statements too. That's better than silence no doubt. Do you guys think those statements alone make them legit?

I feel like it is the middle ages again, so women whom actually go out and spread their opinion instead of sitting in the house all day long are witches? witches are such a mythical concept, what is next the great burning of code pink? sure they might be disinfo or kool-aid drinkers but witches WAKE UP!

no
like I said, it's a soft repository for lazy women who give lip service without action
armchair activists painting their toenails pink while martial law creeps in.
they should be risking some jail time putting up obama joker posters
they are a living testament to the fact that sometimes doing SOMETHING half assed can be worse than doing nothing at all,
I think they have been Rockefeller manipulated into controlled irrelevancy. out the whazzooo

Doesn't seem to be anything near the level of activity that there was during the last administration.

uh no, read the thread Wanted, before rippin off a new one here. this is in response to a specific article talking about some sort of pagan rituals performed publicly by a few Code Pink women

They used to appear credible at least. Do you guys remember Code Pink's protesting at the DNC in Denver? One of them got clobbered by a cop.

I just want to say, today's interview with Texe Marrs was AMAZING!!!  I intend to listen to it maybe two more times, and do follow-on research on everything Texe brought up. First, I will catch up on what has been said above on this here thread.

Just wanted to get my thoughts out first, that this interview was HUGE!!!!

Alex better stop the presses before finalizing Obama Deception #2.

[deconstructmyhouse]

It's absolutely mind boggling how the HOPE drug has brought about paralysis of the mind.
worse than fluoride
  the code pinkers have suspended all discernment and critical thinking in HOPES that their dude will somehow be who they wanted him to be.  

HOPE I see now, as a good friend told me long ago, is a very bad thing.
It will delude you, drug you, alter your reality, deliver nothing and leave you empty and foolish

[John Galt]

I think the powers that be (TPTB) planned on exposing Obama's religion at a certain point, thereby adding race AND religious wars to the playing field.

Yeah you have to be careful with these pied piper groups and individuals that lead you on with their anti-establishment poses that make them look credible. More often than not it turns out they're busy parroting the establishment line or silent on a host of other key issues. Chomsky and AlterNet come to mind also.

[africknamerican]

The women's anti-war group has told ralliers to come equipped with spells and pointy hats Friday for "witches, crones and sirens" day, the last of the group's weeklong homage to Mother's Day.

Soooo .... real witches actually wear pointy hats?

I think the tongue in cheek aspect of this is being missed. This is theater. Left protest groups have been doing this for ages. Folks on the right could use a bit of their creative spirit. Sometimes performance art, spectacle, poetry, song, etc. is a better way to reach people than   your typical linear, logical, left-brained verbal communication.

Now is that a full endorsement of Code Pink and everything they stand for? Obviously not. For one thing, they are also loudly pro-abortion; I don't endorse that. Could some of them be actually into wicca, paganism, etc? I wouldn't doubt it, they are radical feminists, there is a lot of that stuff going on in those circles. If folks who are Christian (as I am) think that's gonna rub off on you someway, then don't associate with them.

However, in their own way, they have the courage to stand up and protest the war and get in people's faces. I admire them for that. And I love Cindy Sheehan. If only every mom was so courageous.

[africknamerican]

I should add. The resurgence in neopaganism
This is part of a backlash against churchianity which should have been predictable. For centuries, churchianity (i.e., counterfeit Christianity) organized in hierarchical male-controlled patterns that excluded feminine gifts and participation and ways of relating. Not to mention actively promoting or condoning war and environmental degradation and the overall alienation of humanity from nature ... So, along with the feminist movement, there came a backlash against  this kind of religion. In that light, not at all surprising. In any case, I'm not so much concerned about dabblers in neopaganism who wear their beliefs openly, as I am about people who pose as Christians but are satanists behind closed doors.

[Kilika]

Code Pink, who used the witch thing only as a publicity stunt for the cameras, is a deliberate distraction to make the real patriot efforts look bad.

They should hook up with our Sheriff Joe Arpio here in AZ. He likes pink.
