MAF makes a mess of Code Pink’s witches brew with a little “salt to taste”


The Bay Area chapter of Code Pink had a schedule of events all week long on this, the week of Mother’s Day.

They had bring-your-daughter (indoctrinate and brainwash your youngins) day

They had a mother’s day and grandma’s day too

Today they had Witches, Crones and Sirens day. Why? I don’t know… maybe witchcraft is just a female theme? Maybe they just had too much Frogs Breath and Dragons Eggs lying around and they had to get rid of them, who knows.

Code Pink showed up early so they could be on Fox News, who came to report on their shenanigans. Move America Forward, not to be outdone, was also there early with our broom sticks to mock Code Pink’s witches

MAF also brought some SALT to pour around the recruiting center, because as every good witch-hunter knows, salt will block the evil spells!

So the witches had their cauldron out, and performed several bizarre little rituals, none of which I really understood.

They erected this little altar that was a real hodgepodge of anything associated with religions or superstitions.

They tried to burn something in their cauldron.

They got a citation for that, which was hilarious to all our patriots who came by to denounce the attempted witching of the Marines.

We had a few ladies who stopped by who are just local supporters. One supporter who stopped by mused about whether or not the mass of legitimate practicing wiccans out there were insulted by Code Pink embarrassing their religion. I wasn’t so sure but it sounded like a likely and compelling possibility to me.

A young man who stopped by later on said that while he was a liberal himself, he was absolutely ashamed at the Berkeley City Council and angry at Code Pink for misrepresenting Berkeley. He said several times, “I grew up in Berkeley, I’m a liberal, and I will tell you; this is NOT BERKELEY”

We knew that not all of Berkeley’s population was on board with Code Pink, but now with the dwindling numbers of people attending their protests and the increasing ridiculousness of their gimmicks, perhaps the people of Berkeley are growing weary of this insane crusade.

Usually I delight in making fun of Code Pink, but by the end of today I almost felt bad because they just made it far too easy. All their chants and spells were just so off-the-wall that it was like…I don’t even really have to be here, they are making fools of themselves.

I really laughed out loud –obnoxiously so- when they had one particular chant of “we are the change, we are the ones they’ve been waiting for” …or something like that

Whatever it was, it was just such self-important hippie nonsense I couldn’t help but keel over in gut bursting chuckling.

We at MAF continue to monitor Code Pink and will bring you the next episode in their gradual slide into madness… keep watching, same moon-bat time, same moon-bat channel!

Code Pink Witches Use “Spell” to chase Marines from Berkeley

The radical anti-military group, Code Pink, finally shows the world what its membership is made of: witches and crones. Seriously. This week, Code Pink is holding a series of events and street theater to get themselves some more notoriety. You’d think it would be enough that they have attacked the Marine recruiting center and traveled the world coddling dictators and handing out money to terrorists’ families. But nooooooo!!!!

The witches of Code Pink plan to gather at their usual place of harassment, the Marine Corps Recruiting Center in Berkeley, and cast some spells to chase the recruiters away. From Code Pink’s Website:
“Friday, May 9th: Witches, Crones, Sirens: perform rituals of leaving, cast a spell of peace and love over the station, rendering nil the recruiting of our youth to become fodder for this occupation of Iraq.” I told you I wasn’t kidding.

It is clear that Code Pink’s work with the Berkeley City Council to demean, destroy and debase the Marines in Berkeley has failed. First, the City Council passed resolutions giving Code Pink a free parking place in front of the recruiters’ office with a free noise permit. At the same time, the city Council called the Marines “unwelcome” and “intruders,” and the council refuses to apologize. 

Mayor Bates even visits with his cohorts in crime in front of the recruiting office wearing a pink beret to show how much he hates America.

Thousands of patriots on planes, trains and automobiles have met in Berkeley to send a message that the City Council and Code Pink’s evil is not acceptable in a country that was attacked by radical Muslim jihadists on Sept. 11, 2001. Move America Forward MoveAmericaForward.org led the fight, and other patriotic, pro-troop groups have held huge rallies pushing back at the Code Pinkos.

Now Code Pink is appealing to a higher, uh, lower power. Witchcraft. (I wonder if they got a free permit to perform witchcraft?)

This should be no surprise.  One of Code Pink’s mamas is Miriam Simos, a bisexual feminist witch living in Berkeley who goes by the name “Starhawk.” I’m sure Starhawk and the rest of the witches of Code Pink will work up a real witches’ brew of hate for our Marines.

I may send in my friend who sprays America-haters, ghouls and witches with Holy Water. This serves two purposes: It cleanses the evil from the area, while giving the anti-war agitators a bath.

MAF confirms that FBI is looking into recruiting center vandalism

Move America Forward has received a response through our lawyers that the Department of Justice is taking on the case of defending military recruiters from attacks by far-left anti-war groups, anarchist groups and socialist organizations that have undertaken to hurl rocks, smash windows, splatter paint, deface, graffiti, plant bombs, slash tires, harass, and otherwise make life hell for recruiters.

The letter, received last week by MAF’s lawyers, advises that the concerns that MAF brought to the desk of the US Attorney’s offices, have been passed on to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for further “review and appropriate action”.

Move America Forward’s Executive Director Catherine Moy said, “We were very pleased to hear that the Department of Justice is taking our findings seriously, and we will make ourselves available to the FBI in full cooperation, to share with them all the evidence and reports we have collected so that federal investigators can conduct a full and thorough investigation into the anti-American wrongdoings of certain groups and individuals.”

When Move America Forward began researching and putting together “The Sedition Report” earlier this year, it quickly became clear that not only were attacks on recruiting centers are increasingly violent and continue to escalate, but that the attacks seemed to be orchestrated by a number of groups acting in consortium. MAF also produced this ad exposing the concerted effort to target recruiters.

Then we staged a press conference in Washington DC to spread awareness about what we had found. While often times you hear about a recruiting center being attacked here and there, it was easy to dismiss them as isolated incidents. However, when put together in a single document, one can see the disturbing trends and coordination apparent.

After our press conference in DC was invaded by members of Code Pink –who did their best to make a scene—because they were obviously afraid of having their seditious actions exposed to the world, MAF had lawyers draft a letter to US Attorneys asking them to investigate and take action and held another press conference in San Francisco.

ABC 7 Video

Daily Californian Article

Melanie Morgan, Catherine Moy, and MAF supporters were able to meet with and speak with Justice Department officials who were very interested to hear some of the information we had collected.

Now that the FBI is getting involved, Move America Forward expects that investigators will indeed find incidences of wrongdoing and that the organizers of many of these organizations may be brought up on charges of sedition, treason, or conspiracy to commit. We will continue to encourage the Justice Department to pursue anti-war criminals with full vigor to ensure that no laws have been broken in the exercise of the free speech rights of those groups.

This should also serve as a warning message to Code Pink, World Can’t Wait, MoveOn and others, to watch what they say and do, and to stop supporting America’s enemies, because groups like Gathering of Eagles, MAF and Free Republic ARE watching!!

CAL GOP Asks for Equal Treatment from Berkeley City Council


Code Pinkos Deface Marine Recruiting Office

Berkeley College Republicans want to have the same benefits the Berkeley City Council gave to radical anti-war agitators Code Pink: Free parking and free sound permits every Wednesday in front of the embattled Marine Corps officer recruiting office.

The City Council will likely give the group the permits, though they may not be for the day they have requested. If the council wants to be Democratic (not Fascist)

Move America Forward has requested the same free permits for a space in front of the Berkeley City Council chambers. The idea is to redress the city government, as the First Amendment allows. Mayor Bates instead offered to carry a resolution that would allow MAF to be in front of the recruiting station.

Bates has ignored and denied our multiple requests for the permits. He wants as much chaos in front of the recruiting center as possible, so he supports permitting there. He does NOT want us to draw attention to the Berkeley politicians as they disgrace themselves by supporting radical groups like Code Pink.

Let’s not forget that this City Council still refuses to apologize to the Marines, whom they called “unwelcome intruders.” This city is a cesspool let by a majority on the City Council who are America-haters.

Mayor Bates is manipulative. He does not support the First Amendment when its expression does not agree with him. We are still willing to sit down with him to arrange for our free permits in front of the City Council chambers. Mayor Bates?????

We also support the College Republicans’ rights to free speech and their aim to stand between the hateful Code Pinkers and our heroes, the Marines.

Michelle Malkin has a report on the College Republicans:  Here

Gathering of Eagles spoils Code Pink’s tea party

Our Friends over at Gathering of Eagles GOE sent us this after-action report regarding a visit made by Code Pink to a hotel in New Jersey for some annual dinner they have with the group “New Jersey Peace Action”

Here is a flier promoting the event.

Well when the Eagles found out about this, they decided it warranted a protest, so they geared up and occupied the ground outside the Regency Hotel where the dinner was supposed to take place.

Here are some excerpts from the e-mail we received detailing the day’s events. This accounting is also posted at Free Republic

In solidarity with our friends in Berkeley , on Sunday, April 27th, The Gathering of Eagles told Susie Benjamin and her friends from Code Pink that they were not welcome in New Jersey . What a great day for Eagles!

Susie slinked into sleepy little Northern New Jersey , certain she could defile our state without comment. Imagine the surprise when “Peacers” came down Route 23 and discovered it lined with American flags and patriots there standing up for our troops! The first sign that greeted them? “Code Pink is not welcome in New Jersey !”

Eagles began arriving at 10 am, in advance of the luncheon, from all over the state of New Jersey and from New York , Connecticut , Virginia and Bev Perlson, from the Band of Mothers, came all the way from Chicago !

Code Pink’s actual feelings about free speech for all except themselves, came within the first 15 minutes of their typically late arrival with a call to the police to remove the Eagles from the PUBLIC street in front of the hotel.

The Eagles had been on the street for almost two hours before the Pinkos actually arrived and were without incident or disturbance. Arriving cars were not delayed one single second and no entrance was impeded. They wanted us removed simply because they did not want us to exercise our free speech….despite the platitudes they claimed when a few of them scurried up the driveway to harass us.

Three police cars arrived and, after confirming that the Eagles were legally entitled to be there and were causing no disruption and merely exercising free speech, the police bid us a friendly good-bye, much to the dismay of the “Peace” advocates.

While the police were initially assessing the situation, Susie Benjamin came down the driveway to chat with the Eagles. While I can not read her twisted little mind, I can only assume she chose that timeframe for one of two reasons (or possibly both) 1) She is so intimidated by us she needs police nearby or she is too chicken to talk 2) She hoped to provoke a situation with the police there to create a problem.

Bev, in her usual direct and passionate voice, stood solidly with our troops and did not give Susie one inch of wiggle room. Susie, in contrast, was a bundle of contradicting statements and nauseating “peacespeak” that was heavy on flowery language and light on substance. The baloney detector was in such overload that an 11 year old watching the exchange turned to me and said, “Mom, Susie is trying to pretend like she is a calm nice person…but the words coming out of her mouth are so hateful, she can’t hid who she really is.” That is one smart kid if I do say so myself.

I love the way this writeup in the local paper (The Star-Ledger) put it:

When peace activist Medea Benjamin stepped to the podium at the annual New Jersey Peace Action dinner yesterday, she already was known as co-founder of the human rights organization Global Exchange and the women’s anti-war group CODEPINK.

Yesterday, Benjamin received another title: terrorist.


Awesome job Eagles!!!

Mother of all Anti-War Agitators Challenges House Speaker

Cindy Sheehan is ready to rumble with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Talk about clash of the lefties. Not much sunshine between the two, as far as policy. They are both cut-and-runners; they both support abortion; they both despise our military. BUT, Sheehan thinks she could force the rest of Congress to sign on to a premature pullout from Iraq just as American troops have broken downt the terrorists there. And she’s steamed that Mrs. Pelosi hasn’t stopped the war.
Before Sheehan spends another minute campaigning, she should read the Constitution. There is ONE commander in chief. The president. That would be Dubya, Cindy. So get over it.

The San Francisco Chronicle published an article on Sheehan filing her official papers:

Sheehan was at San Francisco City Hall on Friday to take out papers for her independent run for Congress, but without those signatures from voters in the district, her name won’t show up on the ballot.

“It’s an uphill battle,” said Sheehan, who vowed to run against Pelosi in July after the speaker refused to start impeachment proceedings against President George Bush. “But I’m excited about the signature-gathering process. It’s going to be an opportunity to talk to people about our campaign.”

I suppose Sheehan will get the signatures she needs. After all, San Francisco has some of the fruitiest, misisnformed, unbathed, twisted thinkers in the world. Next to Berkeley, home of the hate-Marine brigade, San Francisco really is in line for the highest concentration of America-haters in the country.

But Pelosi isn’t much bothered by this. More from the Chronicle:

Getting on the ballot will be the easy part for Sheehan. If she becomes a recognized candidate, she’ll be challenging one of the best-known and most powerful Democrats in the country in Pelosi, a 10-term incumbent who routinely collects around 80 percent of the vote in the San Francisco-only district.

Election challenges are nothing new to Pelosi, who has faced token Republican opposition in most of her November races, along with occasional primary challenges. But since she beat former San Francisco Supervisor Harry Britt in the 1987 special election to replace the late Rep. Sala Burton, Pelosi’s political resume has been short of opponents anyone other than local political junkies has ever heard of.

Sheehan’s run is sheer madness. Can you imagine the TV ads? Pictures of her coddling madman Hugo Chavez with the words “The Peace Mom says: Democracy is overrated.”

The Democracts made Sheehan everything she is today. John Kerry paid her way and the way of one of her daughters in his 2004 presidential bid. She was an election tool of Kerry. (You can read all about it in my and Melanie Morgan’s book, ”American Mourning.” We uncovered loads of information on Sheehan, who lived in Vacaville as I wrote for the hometown newspaper, The Vacaville Reporter.

Cindy left her party, and I don’t use the word “left” loosely.

But Sheehan promises to stand up for everybody.

“I’ll represent everyone in San Francisco, not just the corporate elite,” she said. “I’m working class, my family was working class, and we have struggled the same way our neighbors here in San Francisco have struggled.”

So she’s going to represent the sane folks in San Francisco who want to protect themselves from radical Muslim Jihadists? I think not. She called the terrorists who killed her son in Iraq “freedom fighters.” Hmmm. Sad commentary. Keeping promises isn’t the strong suit of politicians, which is all Sheehan has become. A simple politician. She has sold her soul after her heart was broken by the death of her son, an American hero. She left her husband for another and then set up a high-tech camp iin Crawford, Texas, where big money Bush-haters operated a slick media operation that would rival a presidential campaign. She was NOT a lone woman protesting against the president’s policies.

Sheehan tried to go back to Dixon, Calif., a small town not far from Vacaville, where Casey’s body lies in a quiet cemetery. But she missed the attention. The political limelight. And that is what she is doing now that she is challenging the most powerful woman in the House. She will lose the election, but win some limelight.

Latest Zawahiri tapes show divisions among resistance, frustration at lack of support


Recommendation: Colgate and LensCrafters!!!

News Media are now reporting on the latest video released by Al-Qaeda’s al-Zawahri who has been the almost-exclusive source of almost all communications coming from Al-Qaeda.

The video does not offer up much new information, it makes the same threats and declarations of al-Qaeda’s terrorist intentions as usual, saying over and over that someday they’re gonna get us. We’re used to seeing that of course.

AP Story CLICK HERE

Breitbart HERE

YNET News (Israeli) has the most extensive quotations

There were a couple of interesting differences however, that simply highlight a few things to keep in mind about understanding the conflict, and the very real dangers that America faces at the hands of these terrorists, as well as the importance of Iraq in that struggle (contrary to what Democrats will tell you – that the only important place to fighting terrorists is the Afghan/Pakistan border )

For one, the video highlights the bickering between Sunnis (Al-Qaeda and insurgent groups) and Shias (Mahdi Army / Iran ) that is the root of so many security problems in Iraq. Zawahri criticized the statements of some Iranian officials who claim that the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center/Pentagon were the work an Israeli Intelligence operation, not al-Qaeda.

The statements made by this Iranian Military Official sound a lot like what ‘truthers’ will try to tell you:

“The events of September 11 were ordered by U.S. [officials] and Mossad (Israeli equivalent of our own CIA) so that they could carry out their strategy of pre-emption and warmongering and unipolarisation [sic] in order to dominate the Middle East”, Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi (Supreme Commander of Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps – whatever that means) told military commanders on Tuesday. His comments were reported by the state-run news agency ISNA.

He goes on to state:

“The U.S.’s neo-conservative strategy was to dominate the vast energy resources of the Persian Gulf in order to be able to control Europe, China, and India and drive the world to a unipolar state. Therefore, it planned to change undesirable regimes such as those of Iraq, Sudan, Syria, and Afghanistan”.

Noam Chomsky couldn’t have said it better himself. I wonder if they get Starbucks together?

In his response, Zawahri takes issue with the Iranians claiming that 9-11 was an “inside job” basically whining that al-Qaeda is losing cred and reiterates that “yes, we did it and how dare you say we didn’t!”

“The purpose of this lie is clear — (to suggest) that there are no heroes among the Sunnis who can hurt America as no else did in history. Iranian media snapped up this lie and repeated it,” he said.

“Iran’s aim here is also clear — to cover up its involvement with America in invading the homes of Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq,” he said.

So al-Qaeda is claiming that Iran is actually working with the US to extend it’s influence in Iraq. Well I am glad to see that these extremist elements still hate each other, because it is precisely their inability to stop fighting and blowing each other up that eventually caused Iraqi’s caught in the middle to finally reject AQI and JAM and support their own government.

It’s amusing, yet morbidly disturbing to see these two radical factions of two different religious sects arguing about “who REALLY hates the Jews more”

In a previous audio-only release, Zawahri reassured his droves of faithful jihaidist listeners out there they al-Qaeda is still committed to ridding the world of Jews!

“We promise our Muslim brothers that we will do the best we can to harm Jews in Israel and the world over, with Allah’s help and according to his command.”

Full Article on THAT release HERE from Jerusalem Post

Aside from the spat between Iran + Shiite Militias vs. al-Qaeda + Sunni Militants, there is another element to this story which is VERY telling about the situation in Iraq and progress of the war over the past few months.

Zawahiri says:

“I call upon the Muslim nation to fear Allah’s question (at judgement day) about its failure to support its brothers of the Mujahedeen (holy Warriors), and (urge it) not to withhold men and money, which is the mainstay of a war,”

News reports said:

Al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri criticised Muslims for failing to support Islamist insurgencies in Iraq and elsewhere in a new audiotape posted Tuesday on the Internet.

Osama bin Laden’s top lieutenant also blasted Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas over their reported readiness to consider a peace deal with Israel.

Sounds to me like al-Qaeda is getting more and more desperate, pleading for support as they are currently getting their butts handed to them by Iraqi Army + Iraqi National Police + Coalition Forces!

Heartless Man Profits on Families’ grief - Family sues

“A child should not die before his parents.”

I have heard those words many times from mourning parents. Watching my parents suffer their unbearable loss when my little brother died was painful beyond words.

During the war against radical Muslim Jihadists, heroes have laid down their lives for freedom in this country. The parents and families of these American heroes forever carry a hole in their soul that aches.

Yet some beings don’t seem to care about this pain. Groups like Code Pink stage die-ins at which they write fallen troops’ names on their bodies and lie down as if they are dead. This kind of demonstration rips open the wounded souls of Gold Star families.

Cindy Sheehan, whose son gave his life for America’s safety on April 4, 2004, erected crosses during her protest in Crawford, Texas, and posted names of fallen soldiers on them. Parents begged her to remove them, but she did not until Move America Forward forced her to do so by driving to Crawford to face off with Sheehan.

Now a heartless man is profiting by making anti-war T-shirts that include the names of fallen troops on it. And he has made the hateful shirts without the permission of the troops’ families.

Robin and Michael Read of Greeneville, Tenn., are suing Dan Frazier of Flagstaff because their son Spc. Brandon Michael Read’s name is on the T-shirt with the words “Bush Lied – They died.”

Spc. Read, 21, died for his country after a roadside bomb exploded while serving in Iraq on Sept. 6, 2004.

The Associated Press has a complete report here.

The suit seeks $10 million in compensatory and punitive damages. It also asks that Frazier be permanently barred from using Brandon Read’s name.

Frazier’s free-speech rights ended when he used Brandon Read’s name for profit and any reasonable person would consider Frazier’s actions outrageous, said the lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Tennessee.

I read through the names that can be seen in the Associated Press photo above and noticed the name of a soldier whose family support the War on Terror. I have alerted the families.

I hope that the Reads prevail and take every stinking penny from Frazier. He should live penniless for his crimes against humanity. His shameless profiteering on others’ grief should earn him a front seat on the bus to Hell.

Not In My Son’s Name: Legal Battle Over Anti-War T-Shirt

Controversy over this anti-war t-shirt being sold on the net is spilling into the courts this week. 

This is United States Army Specialist Brandon M. Read

Brandon was killed by terrorists in Qayyarah West, Iraq on Sept 6, 2004 when an IED exploded near the convoy where he was riding gunner-seat. 

Brandon comes from Greenville, Tenn., was stationed in Iraq with the 125th Transportation Company (Lexington, KY.), and was 21 years old when he gave his life for his country.

According to accounts, Brandon had volunteered for the very dangerous gunner position the day he was killed. 

From Honor The Fallen:

Army officials told his mother that Read had volunteered to exchange places with another soldier while they were on a dangerous convoy mission. He was gunner on a truck when the blast occurred.
“When the Army officers came to my house, they said he had saved someone else’s life,” Kelli Read, mother of the 21-year-old soldier, told The Greeneville Sun.

Read was told that her son had manned the gunner’s post on the truck during the first half of the Monday convoy mission and had been slated to drive the truck on the return trip while his partner manned the more dangerous machine-gun position.

Brandon volunteered to act as the gunner on the return trip as well.

Brandon is remembered fondly by friends and family. His mother wrote:

The 21 years that I spent with my son, Brandon, was not long enough but I can say that the joy, happiness and love that he showed me is more than I ever deserved. I love him more and more every day. He is, and always will be, my angel and my hero. My heart is forever broken.

I love you Brandon and I thank God that you died knowing how much you were loved. Please watch over all of us....especially your beloved brother and his daughter, Alexandra Brandon.

Read the rest at Iraq War Heroes . Org

After having to deal with the loss of their son, Brandon’s mother and father later learned that their son’s name came to be used to create an Anti-War t-shirt being sold off the website www.carryabigsticker.com

WWW.CARRYABIGSTICKER.COM

The shirt shows the names of 3,734 of the soldiers who have died in the war on Iraq. There are several variations of it, all featuring the names, but with different messages in red.

“Bush Lied…They Died”,

“Support Our Remaining Troops…Bring the Rest Home Alive”, and

“If Any Question Why We Died…Tell Them Because Our Fathers Lied”

The website also features much information about the t-shirt design, it’s history and a list of links to information regarding the controversy surrounding the design. Here is one tidbit, where the creators courageously pledge to keep selling the shirts (for profit) until all the troops come home ( why would anyone buy an t-shirt to protest a war that’s over anyways? Obviously they will stop because it won’t be PROFITABLE for them anymore…disgusting ):

Five states have passed legislation aimed at outlawing the sale of these shirts (Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arizona). Similar legislation has been proposed in Michigan and Maryland. Federal legislation is also pending. We continue to sell these shirts in all 50 states and will do so until the troops come home or they throw us in jail, whichever comes first.

The site also sells a bunch of other liberal wacko junk, like those COEXIST stickers, a lot of Obama paraphernalia and just about anything you can think of that you could expect to be shocked by.

Well when they found out that this awful website was selling these horrible shirts with their son’s name on it, Brandon’s mom and dad sent a letter to LIFEWEAVER LLC (the company that owns the carryabigsticker website) asking them to take Brandon’s name off the t-shirt.

After receiving no response, they filed THIS lawsuit, which I happened to see on The Smoking Gun today.

I am sure there are plenty of other Gold Star families out there who are equally offended by this and would LOVE to be involved in a class-action to stop these opportunists from using our hero’s names to promote their own agendas and make a profit to boot!

UPDATE:
The Jawa Report has blogged about this
