Still think the Red Star has no agenda?

The picture below appeared in this morning's Red Star Home and Garden section with an article titled "Shared spaces":

Different styles. Different stuff. Different budgets. There's lots to negotiate when sharing space with a roommate. Three sets of roommates have found creative ways of blending belongings and tastes to create environments where everyone can feel at home.

Innocent enough, no?


Notice anything that stands out in the picture? How about the "Code Pink" button prominently displayed on one of the purses.

What is Code Pink? We find out from David Horowitz' web site Discover the Network that Code Pink is a group founded by pro-Castro radical Media Benjamin:

Code Pink for Peace is a self-described "grassroots peace and social justice movement" formed in December 2002 to join the cadre of anti-war groups protesting against America's then-impending war in Iraq. Code Pink was founded by four experienced activists and hardcore Communists - Jodie Evans, Medea Benjamin, Diane Wilson, and a radical Wiccan activist calling herself Starhawk. Ms. Evans is the nominal leader of the organization, which works closely with Medea Benjamin's group Global Exchange, which in turn maintains strong ties to the Communist Workers World Party (WWP). Code Pink also works hand-in-hand with United For Peace and Justice, whose leader Leslie Cagan is a longtime devotee of Fidel Castro and the Socialist Party USA. Throughout the 1990s, many of the Marxists currently working for Code Pink organized anti-free trade protests - some of them violent - and filed numerous high-profile lawsuits that forced American corporations to spend millions of dollars defending themselves.

So is it just an accident that the prominently displayed button appears in a large picture in a special section of the Red Star? Methinks not.

Anyone who still believes the Red Star is not a propaganda organ for the left has not been paying attention, or has not been reading Rambix and the Red Star.
