Green Party USA Coordinator Detained at Airport; Prevented by Armed Military Personnel from Flying to Political Meeting in Chicago
CounterPunch Wire

Armed government agents grabbed Nancy Oden, Green Party USA coordinating committee member, Thursday at Bangor International Airport in Bangor Maine, as she attempted to board an American Airlines flight to Chicago.

"An official told me that my name had been flagged in the computer," a shaken Oden said. "I was targeted because the
Green Party USA opposes the bombing of innocent civilians in Afghanistan."

Oden, a long-time organic farmer and peace activist in northern Maine, was ordered away from the plane. Military personnel with automatic weapons surrounded Oden and instructed all airlines to deny her passage on any flight.

"I was told that the airport was closed to me until further notice and that my ticket would not be refunded," Oden said.

Oden is scheduled to speak in Chicago Friday night on a panel concerning pesticides as weapons of war. She had helped to coordinate the Green Party USA's antiwar efforts these past few months, and was to report on these to The Greens national committee. "Not only did they stop me at the airport but some mysterious party had called the hotel and cancelled my reservation," Oden said.

The Greens National Committee -- the governing body of the Green Party USA -- is meeting in Chicago Nov. 2-4 to hammer out the details of national campaigns against bio-chemical warfare, the spraying of toxic pesticides, genetic engineering, and the Party's involvement in the burgeoning peace movement.

"I am shocked that US military prevented one of our prominent Green Party members from attending the meeting in Chicago," said Elizabeth Fattah, a GPUSA representative from Pennsylvania who drove to Chicago. "I am outraged at the way the Bill of Rights is being trampled upon."

Chicago Green activist Lionel Trepanier concluded, "The attack on the right of association of an opposition political party is chilling. The harassment of peace activists is reprehensible."”

“If true that would be appalling. Anybody find any corroboration for this story?”

“Nancy Oden is a terroist. She is a spokesperson for the criminal gang at RAGE which has destroyed and vandalized bio-tech research facilities. They call themselves 'direct action activists'. I call them subversives and terroists. RAGE has a reputation for violence and has threatened citizens of the US. She should be incarcerated.”

“Has she been convicted of a terrorist act? It would seem that if she had she would be in jail by now. Thank God you aren't in charge bacpac. We'd all be locked up.

Does the government have files on everyone who disagrees with them on American foreign policy, Dow Chemical, Monsanto, animal rights, or being a member of the Green Party, the NRA, PETA, Nider's Raiders, the Sierra Club, or NORML. Maybe you get on the list for going to the "wrong" website, or having a subcription to "High Times"? I'm sure you're on the list if your church is not Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms approved. That's what got those people down in Waco on the list.
Do you ever wonder if you're on the list?”

“Of course I don't worry about a government hit list. A paranoid fool and other bio-terroists should be plenty worried.”

“Oh You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I am telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list
He's checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

Oh You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I am telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town!”
