Sea Shepherd - The Truth about Greenpeace and Whaling

The Truth about Greenpeace and Whaling

Commentary by Paul Watson
Founder and President of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society

Greenpeace does not even oppose whaling.

These are actual quotes from Greenpeace spokespersons:

“Greenpeace is not opposed to whaling in principle.”
– John Frizell, Director of Greenpeace International. From the Greenpeace Policy Paper 1994

"As a natural scientist I cannot accept that Greenpeace is opposed to whaling. One must be allowed to harvest a renewable resource. To me, this is an important principle."
– Leif Ryvarden, former Chairman of Greenpeace Norway. From an interview with Dagbladet, August 2, 1991

"The 1993 Minke whale harvest did not constitute a threat to the stock."
– Ingrid Bertinussen, Greenpeace Norway Director. From an interview on Norwegian radio (NRK), October 22, 1993

"The Norwegian catch is not a threat to the Minke whale stock,"
– Kalle Hesstvedt of Greenpeace Norway in a remarkable interview with the Norwegian newspaper, "Nordlys" on May 21. Hesstvedt does not rule out the possibility that Greenpeace might accept commercial whaling when catch quotas are allocated by the International Whaling Commission (IWC). He repeated the statement on Norwegian radio (NRK) on the same day.

The moment that you start to interfere with the population of any living thing you have to be prepared at some point to conduct a cull with just as much determination as you do a rescue.

A lot of towns have empty shops and many charity shops around them. The people that would lease the shops and run them as a business, thus serving the local community, can't afford to do so because of crippling business taxes. The crippling business taxes indirectly help to support the charity shops, and ultimately, their political aims.
It's a great way of re-structuring the economic infrastructure for political gain. An entire class of people - shopkeepers, business people, entrepreneurs, risk-takers, that might have contributed to that infrastructure, are now unable to do so.
Stalin was too crude with his mass deportations of certain classes of people such as the independent-minded Kulaks, he should have just introduced a crippling business tax.

So they don't even tell you the truth. There is a headquarters in Oxford and it is a huge country house and I zoomed in as far as I could go using the Microsoft Live system (similar to Google Earth) and that is what I saw. It is not very well advertised, you have to really dig to find it mentioned on the web but I did find a postcode where someone had inadvertently left it and this is how I found it.

The latest charity shop in our town to take over a private business, which used to be a video shop, is the Shaw Trust. Like all the others in prime locations on our high street the shop window looks very neat, you can tell all of these charities are loaded because unlike private businesses that are strapped for cash you see everything brand spanking new, all top notch shop fittings and the like just appear out of no where. Not much business seems to go on in these places and the amount of stuff for sale is very limited, almost as if the shop was not a shop. Compare to say some of the private shops where every smallest space is crammed with stuff for sale you would be forgiven for thinking that they sold nothing at all. A lot isn't even second-hand and I hear a lot of stuff donated to shops like these is just thrown away.

Anyway this is the first I have seen of this particular organisation and so I was looking at the website.
Facts about Shaw Trust

Can you see what is going on here? Is this really a charity to help the disabled or is it a wing of the government bordering on a quango kind of structure. Notice all the political correctness, these Common Purpose style organisations like to show a lot of black people and they like to talk about discrimination and even to a disabled person it can be rather condescending.

Our local arts centre a year ago was told that they would have to build disabled access into a building protected by some preservation order due to its historical ties. I knew the people running it and it was run on a shoestring. People who worked there did it for free but the cost of the building work was estimated to be about £10 000 and we would see someone in a wheelchair maybe every three months or so. It was never a problem, people would always be more than ready to give them a lift up the steps and they appreciated the welcome they got. But £10 000 could have caused the place to close and this is where charity crosses over the line into Communism by stealth. The Communist model is grant maintained arts centres but this one did not use grants since all the grant giving bodies wanted to buy political control.

So where does the Shaw Trust get its money from? Is it part of the £167 billion/year UK governmnet quango operation? It looks very 'on-message'.

The NSPCC spends so much money on political campaigning. Remember the drive to ban smacking your own children? Look no further.

The RSPCA, similarly, might as well declare itself a political party!

To me a charity is one that is in the whole run by and serviced by volanteers,is not on the telly every five minuites asking for donations and receives no funding apart from the publics donations.They go about thier work in the most professional way, do not ask for or receive the reckognition they deserve.There is only one "charity "to whom I donate,that being to the most honourable and bravest of men,the RNLI

tito

Hear hear! The RNLI are an incredible display of the best way to run such things. It would be such a mess if it was a government body.
