Greenpeace's 'Rainbow Warrior' hits the scrap yard
[Daily Caller] Greenpeace quietly admitted in November one of its "Rainbow Warrior" boats was "scrapped on a beaching yard in Bangladesh" ‐ a method it spent years campaigning against.
There is nothing quite like the hypocrisy of the social justice class.
"We have made a mistake, one that we have tried to correct," Greenpeace International, based in Amsterdam, admitted in mid-November, adding it allowed Rainbow Warrior II "to be scrapped on a beaching yard in Bangladesh, in a way that does not live up to the standards we set ourselves and campaigned with our allies to have adopted across the world."

However, the embarrassing admission from one of the world’s largest and most prominent environmental groups flew under the radar of major news outlets. Greenpeace quietly put out a press release on its international website, which few noticed.

Greenpeace International did not respond to The Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Indeed, Rainbow Warrior II’s fate is only the latest in a string of embarrassments and scandals to plague Greenpeace in recent years, including admitting in 2014 it had lost millions in donations betting on currency speculation.
How Soros-ey
That same year, Greenpeace came under fire from the Peruvian government for damaging the ancient Nazca Lines. Activists damaged the world-famous site with giant protest banners advocating for solar energy and calling for countries to fight global warming.

#1 Sourdough Bar wall photos we ran into. Alaska's Ketchikan Local Fishermen gather to moon a Greenpeace Ship. Only 12 seconds long but of course youtube demonetized it.



They also have a good variety of local fishing boat groundings photos.

#2 Just remember that those heart-tugging ads the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) puts out asking for money is just from a Greenpeace front organization, not to be confused with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).
