At Last Greenpeace Faces Racketeering-RICO Charges

Author Walter Donway: "This is an accurate characterization of Greenpeace. Its co-founder, Dr. Patrick Moore, built the fledgling organization for 15 years, but then went into opposition, declaring “Greenpeace and much of the environmental movement were declaring humans the enemies of the earth … I had to leave.”

Now, he is against Greenpeace and all its works, including its blocking use of GMO Golden Rice, which could save millions of children in Africa and Asia from going blind, then dying, of Vitamin A deficiency. Some 107 Nobelists in science agree with Dr. Moore, signing a letter addressed to Greenpeace that pleads with the organization to stop blocking Golden Rice."

    'Sweet it is to hear one's own convictions from another's mouth'. Goethe.

    That group of Nobel prize winners have appealed to Greenpeace to stop causing needless death. But the aim of Greenpeace is death - to reduce human numbers to stone age levels.
    Do not appeal to it, fight it.

    Meanwhile, there are serial contributors on this forum who perpetrate the same and similar superstitions such as the harm of carbon dioxide.

    Hello khalling,
    Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of extremists.

    I see few people complaining of increasing CO2 levels planting trees... if one truly believes it is a problem they should do more than just increase the CO2 levels with every vitriolic breath... Of course that is the tell. What they really want is to reduce the population and/or return us to the pre-industrial age even though they will use modern technology to do so. The contradictions and hypocrisy are monumental.
    Regards,
    O.A.

    PETA, Greenpeace, Occupy Wall St., Black Lives Matter, etc. Just a bunch of groups that make up the thugocracy. They are the liberal shock troops sent out to bully the populous into submission.

      You cannot win with these groups. When you capitulate and give in to their demands, you show a weakness for them to exploit. There is a video online where a despicable low life racist goes after some peaceful BLM protesters (I don't agree with BLM, but these protesters weren't doing anything besides holding signs and shouting, not trying to block traffic or cause any damage). Anyways, the video went viral and his employer got wind of it. In an effort to curtail any bad press that could harm their business, made an announcement that they were firing the racist employee. Instead of accepting the proffered sacrifice of getting him fired, they turned on the company and demanded that they put all their employees through sensitivity training. And that they go through their employees and find the other racists, because this employee couldn't be this racist and not have friends at work who were not equally or more racist than he is.

        Perhaps that's why they hate the Bible, which says that the GUILTY will be punished, not the innocent. They've turned a single incident, by a single person, into an attack on an entire group, who weren't even there. The company should tell them to go hang.

        the problem becomes important when the company basically agrees with the protesters' arguments. When that happens, it becomes easy for the protesters to push for more. This is described in Donway's article

    Some years ago I worked for a port that imported over 100,000 metric tons of fertilizer per year. In it's early years house keeping was not so good and nitrates found their way into the storm water system. Consequently, it found it's way into the MAN-MADE turning basin. The carp and cats didn't seem to mind. In any case, the port was ordered to clean-up it's act. So, they took four years to institute good house keeping practices. The out flow was still not clean enough. So, the port began a project to create a MAN-MADE wetland to use up the nitrogen before the water was released.
    An environmental group threatened us with a lawsuit. So my boss invited them in and showed them our plans. All the environmental folks were impressed and left saying that it was a great project. Two weeks later we got a letter from their lawyers saying they were going to sue anyway. It's really not about the environment, it's about extortion.

    Greenpeace is juast another hack NGO doing the bidding of the UN. They are majors playrs in the push to force UN agenda 21 on people - herd them into urban high rises, take property, end A/C, and control reproduction. The Earth somehow gets lost in the mix. It is like asking, with all the scientists and aid to Africa, why are the people no more self-sufficient than when i was in high school in the 60s and was told of their plight. Because the goal is never what is seems to be.

    Reading that article about Greenpeace, I could not help but think about how similar econazis in the EPA extorts compliance through fear or else monetarily ruins lives for such "crimes" as creating a pond on one's own private property..

    As with many other religions throughout history and even today, Greenpeace doesn't give a hoot as to how many deaths it causes, children included. Because of their blockade they may well have killed more children and adults than ISIS and all of the radical Islamists combined.

    I never had much to say good about the environmental movement. It seems to have gotten way out of hand.

      It guided by stupidity and idiology; not by reason nor empirical evidence.

        I think the courts would make better guardians of the planet than some liberal organization. Dump dangerous chemicals in the water supply and it will cost you...

          The trouble with using courts this way is that it is much too easy to convince a jury that some harmless practice (or chemical) caused whatever harm you are complaining about, when it didn't.

          I would like to see a requirement that lawsuits of that type convince both a jury of the public and a jury of (civilian) scientists before the plaintiff can win.
