MUTINY ON THE HIGH SEAS

Ha - just as we suspected - the Ady Gil was deliberately scuttled. Bethune is now publicly spewing all over the eco terrorist Paul Watson and his band of high seas hooligans.

We are inclined to believe that Bethune is telling the truth. Watson has a history of bullshitting the media - including admitting he made stuff up so that the Japanese courts would go easy on Bethune.

Bethune calls Sea Shepard morally bankrupt. Well you have to have something in the bank and lose it to be bankrupt. Sea Shepard is just a bunch of grey headed old pirates out having a boys own adventure with other peoples money.

Bethune is still a dick.

Nuff said.

UPDATE - BETHUNE IS A WHINEY UNGRATEFUL DORK

Bethune is an attention seeking fame grasping wanker.

And congratulations to McCully and John Key for telling it like it is.

And Bethune is not a hero. Wankers are never heroes.

We met this fine gentleman couple of times and he was a hero. And as long as Bethune lives he will never ever be a shadow of the man that Eric Batchelor was.

BETHUNE IS STILL A WANKER

Pete Bethune got a suspended sentence for ocean going eco - terrorism from the Japanese.

Our collective views here at Roarprawn are well known. Bustedblonde brought the world some exclusive footage of the incident that caused all the fuss

Sadly Bethune will now be a celebrity among the eco dorks and will undoubtedly make a shit load of money on the speaking celebrity circuit telling of his traumas and dramas. We remain convinced that his actions are not about saving whales but about promoting Pete Bethune. Barf....

However we expect his off shore escapades will be curtailed as he is now a convicted criminal.

THE ART OF COMPROMISE - WHALING

We have it from a very good source that the United States Government has asked the Australian
Government not to do anything stupid or rash about taking Japan to the
International Court of Justice in the Hague.

 There is a meeting in Washington DC this week to discuss the compromise
option being put forward. We have  attached the compromise where it currently
stands at present, and Japan's statement on this. These can be found on the
IWC website: http://www.iwcoffice.org/meetings/swg0310.htm

The International Whaling Commission will work cooperatively to improve the conservation and management of whale populations and stocks on a scientific basis and through agreed policy measures. By improving our knowledge of whales, their environment and the multiple threats they face, the Commission will strive to ensure that whale populations are healthy and resilient components of the marine environment

So here is the report

Support Group Report

and the Japanese  position

IWC-M10-SWG7

The stakes are high and its not about whales - its about trade. Silly Pete Bethune.

ECO TERRORIST TO VIST NEW ZEALAND

The Sea Shepherd Society is sending its head dork to NZ to stir up anti Japanese sentiment in the name of anti whaling.

This is part of the missive they have sent to supporters

We believe that John Key has misread the minds and hearts of New Zealanders in regards their relationship to the environment, and his proposal to reinstate commercial whaling after a 24- year moratorium is one example of the growing credibility gap between current government policies and the wishes of the New Zealand people. This is a values clash that cannot be negotiated.

Our response to this will be heard loud and clear this Friday 19th and Saturday 20th March in Wellington. Sea Shepherd’s founder Captain Paul Watson will be here Friday and Saturday; the Steve Irwin will arrive in port at Queen’s Wharf late Friday evening and be open to the public on Saturday, departing for the Galapagos Islands Saturday night. Here are the issues we will be addressing:

- Pete Bethune is going on trial in Japan when the real criminal, the Japanese skipper of the security vessel Shonan Maru No.2, who deliberately attacked and destroyed the Ady Gil, goes free in Japan. We will be showing our support for Pete, and inviting other organisations to join us.

– John Key’s flawed plan to resume commercial whaling goes on trial in the Court of New Zealand public opinion, with Labour’s Chris Carter leading the charge.

- The Australian government has threatened to take Japan to an International Court in November over continued violations in the Southern Ocean Sanctuary.
Our government has refused to back this move, although they claim to want closer relations with Australia. We will ask why they are ignoring an issue that has commercial and environmental implications for both countries.

-The 47 signatories to the Antarctic Treaty meet in the USA next month. We want to see an environmental pollution complaint against Japanese whaling interests on the meeting’s agenda.

- Glen Inwood’s role as spokesman for the whalers and in supplying dis-information to the New Zealand government and media will be revealed to the public, along with his connection to Japanese commercial interests in New Zealand.

What a crock. The Steve Irwin is a pirate ship and should not be allowed to dock.

BETHUNE GETS WHAT HE DESERVES

Yeehaa - Eco Terrorist Peter Bethune has been arrested in Japan. Bloody good job. We await the trial with interest.

Apparently he is a great lover of Peugeot and Hyundai cars especially from Hamilton.

We reckon that Bethune is a big swinging dick publicity seeker...

BETHUNE IS A DORK

The latest in publicity stunts by the Sea Shepherd has been rolled out in the Southern Ocean with Eco -Dork Peter Bethune raiding the Japanese Whaling vessel . Seems he wants to make a claim for $3million for his broken toy the Ady Gil.



What a tit. Any idiot looking at the footage can clearly see that it was Bethunes poor seamanship that put his vessel at risk.

And while last time the eco terrorists decided to board a whaling vessel there was a anti whaling vessel waiting in the wings to take them off when they got sick of whale sashimi.

This time Bethune is going to have to wait it out.

The Sea Shepherd society says that the Japanese will have bring him back to their boats - they aren't going to get him. Duh. The Japanese skipper wont be doing anything but carrying out his lawful business - whaling. It was Bethune's choice to board the vessel. So he is going to have to suck it up.

We hope he gets chucked in the bilge or the anchor locker - as we doubt the whalers will be keen to give up their bunks for the grandstanding wanker.
