Saving the Arctic

A guy trying to climb up the side, proving what? Am I the only one getting the bigger issue here?

 

No your just the guy who admires dangerous anarchist extremists

 

Apparently I have to be a denialist, worshipping the power of big government-corporate interests to not be an anarchist. The Orwellian denialist world becomes more and more manifest.

 

No just a skeptic standing against anti human eco terrorism

 

Real eco terrorism is drilling for oil in the arctic leading to spills not to mention AGW. Faux eco terrorism is fantasies about nonexistent Greenpeace terrorists. Some folks worship the big government-corporate world so much they get their priorities totally screwed up. But that is chronic with faith based denialists.

 

Whatever deranged perception of my view you take. That facts will out

 

Wait a minute....How is blowing up an oil rig preserving the environment? It could cause a huge spill that (according to some here) could never be cleaned up.

 

When has Greenpeace ever been associated with blowing up anything? There are ugly realities that are on going out there. Why concentrate on a stray remark by some clown. Derrick Jensen the famed environmental writer liked to talk about blowing up dams to preserve the salmon runs. No one ever took him seriously and went on buying his books. It is the mark of denialists that they are always looking for trivial distractions to avoid the serious issues.

 

Greenpeace... One of the biggest scams out there.They incite younger people to do something ignorant and useless in the scheme of things, get arrested, and then get free press and donations for their latest cause. They have turned activism into a profitable business.. $28 million in revenue in 2011, and they didn't have to pay for advertising..

 

The OP said the object was to capture the oil rig and then it was stated: "some guys of her team seriously discussed the idea of blowing up the oil rig"

To which I queried: How is blowing up an oil rig preserving the environment? I mean, for those 'guys' to make such a statement really goes to the heart of the lunacy that Greenpeace has become. These nut-jobs are apparently capable of anything. So-called 'environmentalism' has become akin to a religious cult populated by ignorant, lost human beings who border on psychopathy.

 

Interesting that Greenpeace is on about Russian drilling when Norway is punching more holes in the Arctic than Russia, Canada and the US combines. Greenpeace was started eight blocks from where I live. It has become a giant publicity stunt; they know nothing of the Arctic, the seas and could care less.

 

I think Greenpeace is more of an anti corporate anti globalisation concern now. The very fact that some of this team considered blowing up the rig thereby causing the environmental disaster they claimed to be trying to avert says it all really.

 

IMHO, they aren't actually in opposition to any of those things. They want to sell an image of being against them,and turn that into money and fame. The fact is they are a multinational conglomerate, so they claim either openly or through implication, they are against such things, but the proof is in the pudding...

There is always some small group of people who feel like outcasts in the general society they live in. Perhaps they disagree with some real or perceived social injustice, or ecological threat, and feel they should do something about it. Or perhaps they are just wanting to be some kind of hero. Regardless of their reasonings they exist, and so long as they do, groups like greenpeace will capitalize on them. They will take their money, support all manner of their causes, get public attention and use it to their own advantage.
