Paul Watson

Paul Watson was one of the founders of Greenpeace in 1972. Since then, he was forced out of the organization because of his violent beliefs. The group he founded and leads to this day is the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS). This is a pirate organization that sails around the world, terrorizing fishermen.
How violent does one have to be in order to be expelled from Greenpeace?

Just like the 9-11 terrorists, Paul Watson sees himself as some sort of hero and not as a terrorist. They all see themselves as heroes on a mission from God. Paul Watson and his friends probably see the hijackers more as heroes and less as Terrorists.

In 1977 Paul Watson founded the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Watson and his ship, Sea Shepherd, which was designed specifically for ramming into and destroying other vessels, are well known for their actions involving the ramming and sinking of whaling ships.

Paul Watson, by his own words, has hunted down, rammed and sank boats on the open ocean. He engineered in the scuttling of half the Spanish whaling ships in the eighties and organized attacks on the whaling industry among many other successful direct actions.

"The first vessel we sank was the notorious pirate whaling ship, Sierra."

"I set out from Boston in the Sea Shepherd with a crew of 19 volunteers. I hunted down, rammed, and disabled the pirate whaling ship Sierra. We fired up the engine and made for the Sierra, which was in the middle of the harbor. I hit her at full speed..."
-- Paul Watson

This attack failed to sink the Sierra, Watson and his crew returned for a second attack on the vessel and sank the Sierra.

He sank a boat with a crew on the high seas! He attacked another boat on the high seas! And nobody does a thing!

These are the actions of a Terrorist no different than the 9-11 Terrorists. At some point, someone is going to get killed, if they have not already. On the vast expanse of the ocean, who would know if a crew from a boat he rammed was left to die. He has already shown his hatred for those that do not believe in that he does.

Environmentalists love him. His opponents hate him.

Of course Environmentalist love him. This is just another example of the terrorist activities and tactics that these organizations use daily. More proof that these are not "Non-Violent Activists" as they would have the public believe. Who says that these people are not "Terrorists"?

Watson is a terrorist who has said that "earthworms are far more valuable than people." It is that attitude that explains why he has started the careers of some of the most violent animal-rights activists. SHAC terrorists Rodney Coronado and Joshua Harper have both served as crewmembers on SSCS expeditions.

"There's nothing wrong with being a terrorist, as long as you win."
-- Paul Watson

It does not sound like he is hiding the fact that he is a Terrorist. He proudly admits it. This is what qualifies him to be a board member of the Sierra Club.

"Ecotage, is, by definition, non-violent by nature because one life cannot be defended by the taking of another life. Never, in any of our direct actions, has a human been injured. But life can be defended, by neutralizing the weapons of death."
-- Paul Watson

Isn't that what the 9-11 Terrorists did with the World Trade Center, neutralize them?

These are the actions of Terrorists under the false delusion of being the ocean's policemen. How does anyone consider this not Terrorism? And you just know that those that consider Watson a hero, would consider the Minuteman Project on the American-Mexican border that are unarmed and are only reporting what they see to the Border Patrol as Vigilante organization.

Jerry Vlasak, a long-time board member of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, has even gone so far as to endorse assassination as a means to save animal life. A senior member of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, Vlasak has spent the month of March (2005) campaigning against the East Coast seal hunt saying "violence is necessary to bring the seal industry to an end."

The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is now disassociating itself from the comments made by Jerry Vlasak.

Founder Paul Watson, who earlier this week supported Vlasak's position on the society's board of directors, issued a statement on Thursday afternoon 14 April, 2005, saying the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society does not condone violence against sealers.

"We are a non-violent organization. We certainly don't advocate threats against anybody," Watson said Thursday, 14 April 2005 from the society's ship, the Farley Mowat.

In 1983, the Sea Shepherd II blockaded the harbor at St. John's, Newfoundland, preventing the Canadian sealing fleet from leaving for two weeks.

"We lurked outside the Narrows daring the sealers to come out of the harbor. There were traffic jams in St. John's from all the cars trying to ascend Signal Hill to catch a glimpse of the Sea Shepherd II. The sealers did not leave, under the belief that we would ram the first one that put out to sea."
-- Paul Watson

Why would anyone believe that? Because they know Paul Watson. They know his tactics. He and his crew sank the ship "Sierra" years earlier. It makes you question the validity of the statement that the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is a "Non-Violent" organization.

Based entirely on their own actions, Paul Watson and his crew are Terrorists.
