Following a brutal giant squid attack on a Greenpeace submarine, senior activists realised that Earth is a hostile place populated by creatures that exist only to kill. A spokesman said: “For years we have endangered our lives haranguing whaling ships, risked imprisonment to help obscure mammals and worn dreadful sexless knitwear so that we look the part while doing so. “But our supposedly precious home planet and its wildlife couldn’t give a shit.” Read the rest here 13:20

Greenpeace Loses Millions, Blames Rogue Employee, Currency Hedge Gone Wrong
Greenpeace has suffered a 3.8 million-euro ($5.2 million) loss on an ill-timed bet in the currency market by a well-intentioned — if reckless — employee in its financial unit. The employee was fired for ignoring rules, not for the loss itself, which — although sizeable compared with donor contributions — amounts to a fraction of the organization’s annual revenues of around 300 million euros.

I’m no Greenpeace fan, but, enough is enough. This is disgusting.
Monster fishing ship in Pacific, east of Australia – The world’s largest fishing vessel, the factory freezer ship Lafayette, has turned up in the Pacific Ocean east of Australia. Satellite-tracking systems registered the location of the controversial 49,000 tonne Lafayette and six attendant trawlers north-east of Norfolk Island on Friday, Greenpeace said.

BBC’s six-year cover-up of secret ‘green propaganda’ training for top executives
The BBC has spent tens of thousands of pounds over six years trying to keep secret an extraordinary ‘eco’ conference which has shaped its coverage of global warming, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. The controversial seminar was run by a body set up by the BBC’s own environment analyst Roger Harrabin and funded via a £67,000 grant from the then Labour government, which hoped to see its ‘line’ on climate change and other Third World issues promoted in BBC reporting.

Greenpeace: ‘Our protest in the Arctic wasn’t piracy’ – I think the Russians disagree!
From the article: But, what would you say to people that accuse the Greenpeace activists of trespass? Do you think that is something that should be allowed? Well, we haven’t been charged with trespass, we have been charged with piracy. Quite clearly we are not pirates. Piracy has to be committed against a ship. This is an oil platform, not a ship. And it also has to be done with a threat of violence. [email protected] 16:06

Greenpeace seeks to protect Alaska underwater canyons-Commercial fishermen are watching closely.
Bay Area conservationists are back from a dramatic deep sea expedition to research and protect huge underwater canyons in Alaska.

The Pew Dog and Greenpeace’s anti-Sealord spoof.
My friend, jj the fisherman, is very creative, and a pretty smart SOB. He creates legitimate satire. You will find plenty more at his column. Click show more to find it all. Lots of photo and great articles. http://jjthefisherman.newsvine.com/
It appears that Greenpiece finds it a legitimate method of communicating their anti fishing view, of which ending fishing would probably find them destitute, as it is apparent they are on a path of unsustainability by over-exploiting fishermen!
The greedy ENGOs just don’t understand their greed to hunt the last fisherman to extinction will cause an unprecedented collapse of their bread and butter revenue raising target.
Rage erupts over Greenpeace’s anti-Sealord spoof
“Satire has long been used as a way of getting messages across. We’re not criticising the workers that feature in this ad. Those in the fishing industry here and in the Pacific deserve to have a future in the fishing industry, and they’re entitled to make a living from the sea, but Sealord itself is putting that at risk by its destructive catch methods,” he affirmed.
