Greenpeace labeled "eco-terrorists" Friday, 14 December 2001, 6:03 pm Press Release: The Institute Of Cetacean Research

Greenpeace labeled "eco-terrorists"
Dr. Seiji Ohsumi, Director General of the Institute of Cetacean Research in Tokyo today referred to Greenpeace as an "eco-terrorist organization" and issued a public statement following the sighting of the Greenpeace vessel Arctic Sunrise in the Antarctic where Japanese vessels are conducting the 15th year of their whale research program.
Dr. Ohsumi said:
"Two years ago, the Greenpeace vessel Arctic Sunrise went to the Antarctic and attempted to disrupt our research. At that time, the Greenpeace vessel caused a collision with our research ship. Greenpeace activities caused damage to property and included theft of personal property and trespassing.
This was a malicious and reckless threat to the lives and safety of the vessel's crew and scientists. It was also a serious violation of maritime navigation laws. Japan views the Greenpeace protest against our scientifically valid and perfectly legal research program as eco-terrorism and as a publicity stunt designed to misinform the public and increase the support and financial wealth of its organisation.
Today, our research vessel has sent a message to the Arctic Sunrise and Greenpeace warning them that any attempt to bring their vessel or persons into close proximity to our research vessels poses a serious safety risk. We also call on the public and all nations involved in maritime activities including those that also sustainably utilize the ocean's resources based on scientific findings to condemn any unlawful activity by Greenpeace.
Japan's research program poses no threat to Antarctic whale stocks. Greenpeace's criticism of the program is based on emotional reasons, ignores both science and international law and is a rejection of the basic principle that resources should be managed on a scientific basis.
Japan has been very open about its research on Antarctic minke whales in the Southern Ocean - not only with the International Whaling Commission's Scientific Committee, but also the general public around the world. By continually misrepresenting the science, organizations such as Greenpeace do nothing towards educating and informing the public of the true worth of Japan's Antarctic minke whale research.
Japan began its whale research program after members of the IWC said that scientific information was insufficient to properly manage the sustainable utilization of whale resources. Since then, Japan's research program has received strong support from the IWC's Scientific Committee.
The IWC Scientific Committee has acknowledged that the research has "made a major contribution to understanding of certain biological parameters" and that "the information produced has set the stage for answering many questions about long-term population changes regarding minke whales in the Antarctic."
This research is particularly important since the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling requires that the IWC's regulations be based on scientific findings.
Our program continues to make major contributions to understanding the biology of whales in the Antarctic. It involves non-lethal research, including sighting surveys and biopsy sampling, as well as a small take of whales for research that cannot be effectively done by non-lethal means.
This includes examination of earplugs for age determination studies, reproductive organs for examination of maturation, reproductive cycles and reproductive rates, stomachs for analysis of food consumption and blubber thickness as a measure of condition. The number of minke whales taken (440) is the smallest number required to obtain statistically valid results. This take in no way threatens the population, which was estimated by the Scientific Committe
Not all of them, just most of the ones that post to apple.slashdot.org
When Steve Jobs worked at Atari, the company was working on creating the arcade game Breakout, which required 80 Integrated Circuits (ICs). The less ICs there were, the cheaper the games would be to produce, so Nolan Bushnell (Atari's president) offered $100 for every IC that could be knocked out of the design. Jobs brought Woz the challenge, and over four days and nights at Atari they put together a design that only required 30 ICs. Bushnell gave Jobs his $5000 bonus, which Jobs "split" with Wozniak by telling him it was a $700 bonus, giving him "half," or $350. Woz was delighted, but years later found out the truth. And cried.
You might want to look into a site called google, it searches the web and can help you find out such information.;->
It is already done. You know on CSPAN when our leaders (USA) say "reserve the right to revise and extend"? That means that they can come back at a latter date and edit/replace everything they said before the TV Cams.
This means the Congresional record isn't an accurate record of what was said on the floor.
They ARE clueless fanboys. Look at the attack on his post by the mods? You say ANYTHING negative against Apple or Jobs and people get very upset and abuse the mod system to do it.
"Business Week Online columnist Alex Salkever notes that while Apple's iPod is a "bona fide hit," its 25% global marketshare number may be overblown: "Too bad their assumption is off base: The iPod's global market share may actually fall well below the 25% mark....Very little good data exists on international sales of consumer electronics -- digital-music players included. With the exception of Japan, information out of Asia is sketchy. According to one of [the MP3] chipmakers and to industry analysts, worldwide shipments of digital-music-player chips hit about 15 million last year. An April, 2004, report from investment bank CIBC on this market estimated global sales of flash and hard-drive music players at 17 million. If that's true, then the 1.5 million iPods sold in 2003 gives Apple 8% to 10% of the global market.""
Slashdot Mirror
HINT: Open a history book and look at how they used to power ships.
HINT TWO: It has something to do with wind.
It's funny, but no one reads the entire post or they don't want to address the possible illegal money transfers going on between the various greenpeace orgs.
What is so bad about Nuclear energy?
Then what would you call what they did?
Funny, that sounds just like the Current GOP. Face it, politicians, as a general rule, have no principles, save fot the acquisition of power.

It's a fucking Wi-Fi setup. It's nothing fancy, anyone can do it.
Profit?
Profit is what greenpeace is about, all the high up people at greenpeace make a rather nice living, paid for by donations.
Well, if people would respond and not mod me to hell, I would not have to repost.
It appears that people are unable to defend greenpeace so they are trying to hide posts that they do not like.
Why doesn't Greanpeace practive what it preaches?
I thought that greenpeace was against the use of fossil fuels(ship) and plastics(computers)?
Is this a case where it is OK for them to have it, just wrong when the 'lesser' people have it?

About your link to frontpage magazine, why isn't it as hard of the GOP for not securing our borders as it is on the left?
Explain how it is saving prison labor in china.

Please explain whey I see a text shadow in Mozilla when I go to the following URL

I got very nasty emails and over 15 of my posts down moded when I said that Jobs stole from Woz.
Look it up. Jobs DID steal from Woz.

You will learn that /. editors don't edit. They randomly click the accept button.

Perhaps you should stop seing everything on the basis of race?
ethnocentrism

Listen to another radio station. IOW, turn it off 105.3 ;->
No, it's not.
Bush picks up phone and calls the leaders of the house and senate. Money gets borrowed and spent.
If he was serious he would have given NASA more money this year, a lot more. He didn't.
He is a repair tech, a large percentage of the systems he will be repairing my not be able to boot from USB..
