Sea Shepherd, a saboteur, and the
Faroe Islands
Sea Shepherd announced their next mission titled “GrindStop
2014,” targeting the good people of the Faroe Islands.
Background: The Faroe
Islands located in the North Atlantic Ocean roughly between Norway and Iceland. The people decedents from the Vikings have a
unique form of whaling. The whales swim
into the Faroe Islands fjords then are guided by the Faroese boats to the
beach, where the whales are harvested for free food for the islanders. When this happens the Faroese call it “the
Grind,” or a “Grind.” Thus the name
“GrindStop 2014” by Sea Shepherd.
The Sea Shepherd floating circus plans to arrive in the
Faroe Islands July and August of 2014 claiming to bring 400 to 500
volunteers. Their goal is to broadcast
to the world the whale harvesting on the beach as well as attempting to disrupt
the flow of free food.
A gentleman from the United Kingdom, named Adam on the
website “gofundme” is requesting 400 Euros to finance his trip and activities
to join Sea Shepherd in the Faroe Islands.
In his write-up he boasts to being a “saboteur.” Huh?
Who announces to the world they are a saboteur? Do the authorities in the Faroe Islands know
a saboteur is attempting to raise money to visit their islands?
The summer of 2011 “pope Paul the Watson” and his minions
sailed into the Faroe Islands to video “Whale Wars Viking Shores.” While the clowns were in port a local
resident named Oli Breckmann coined the term for Sea Shepherd as being a
“floating circus.” Accurate, and spot on
identifying these clowns. Who but a
clown would self-identify as being a saboteur?

to be a saboteur:
