A Connecticut Yankee in a Faroese Court

A Connecticut Yankee in a Faroese Court

July 21, 2023 The mood was deadly, super seriously somber as David Michel stepped into the Torshaven courtroom. This was Thor’s House after all, and the specter of Nordic justice was all pervasive. The people of the Faroe Islands had never seen a crime as egregious as this, well at least not since the last time we were here. After all, the crew of the JOHN PAUL DEJORIA had violated the sensitive and sacred territorial waters of the Danish Faroe Islands and…

BOUND FOR LISBON, PORTUGAL

BOUND FOR LISBON, PORTUGAL

July 20, 2023 The JOHN PAUL DEJORIA has departed from the Faroe Islands. Bound for Lisbon, Portugal for repairs on the engine. It’s been 43 days since we departed from NYC, first to Iceland where when we arrived the whale hunt was banned until August 31st, and then on to the Faroes, which was not on the agenda for the summer until the Icelandic ban on whaling.  Our objective in the Faroes was to provoke both awareness and controversy. I…

HELLISH ADVENTURES IN THE FEROCIOUS ISLES

HELLISH ADVENTURES IN THE FEROCIOUS ISLES

July 19, 2023 Traveling to the Danish Faroe Islands is like a short vacation in an asylum for the criminally insane. Not that this is unexpected considering the large amount of methyl-mercury that the Faroese whalers digest every year despite their own health officials constantly warning that excessive methyl-mercury toxicity is not exactly good for the brain. It kind of makes Swiss cheese out of gray matter which is not conducive for keen mental and emotional facilities. Over the last…

The Faroese Police Have a Very Blatant Conflict of Interest

The Faroese Police Have a Very Blatant Conflict of Interest

July 18, 2023 Imagine being witness to a bank robbery and seeing police officers driving the getaway car. A few days later the same police officers with their pockets full of stolen loot attempt to serve you a summons to appear in court because you were a witness to the crime in which they were participants. On Sunday, July 9th, 78 innocent victims were viciously slain by a deranged mob of blood thirsty killers. The crew of the JOHN PAUL…

The Charge is Demonstrating Compassion and Committing Acts of Kindness

The Charge is Demonstrating Compassion and Committing Acts of Kindness

July 17, 2023 We have been ordered to appear in a Danish Court in the Faroes next Thursday, July 20th on charges of entering Faroese waters without permission.  On Sunday, July 9th, the JOHN PAUL DEJORIA had no choice but to respond to the emergency situation of 77 pilot whales being driven towards a beach near Torshaven, the capital of the Faroe Islands, where entire families were about to be viciously murdered. Because of the distance to Torshaven when we…

Beneath A Fǽroes Sky 

Beneath A Fǽroes Sky 

July 15, 2023 The Northern lights were dancing, On the waves across the sea. The stars of heaven hovered, Across our shimmering galaxy. �A refrain from down the ages, So in haunting in its song. These ancient isles shall tell us, Our love must make us strong. �The wind it swirled around me,� As we stood there off the shore,� And listened to their song,� Like we never heard before.�� The whalers they may find them,� No choice may ours…

Faroese Beaches of Perdition

Faroese Beaches of Perdition

In the far, far North on the Isles of sheep. Innocence seduced by satanic evil. Where gentle sweet creatures convulse, bleed and weep. Agonizing screams from beaches primeval. Driven by compassion with kindness our guide, Challenging the arrogant blood smeared blade. Towards psychopaths we’re on course to collide, On cold beaches where depravity is displayed. Behind the smiling cheerful Nordic faces, Staring sadistically in the faces of pain, Of empathy within their eyes – no traces. Smothered by a foul…

Fear, Loathing and Depravity in the Ferocious Isles

Fear, Loathing and Depravity in the Ferocious Isles

July 11, 2023 I have many critics and I do listen to them, although I rarely, if ever, agree with them. Most of the criticisms come from people of an anthropocentric persuasion meaning they are inclined to put people first, to justify the actions of humans even when such actions are harmful to other species and to the environment. Some of the criticisms accuse me of being over judgmental about whale and dolphin killers. They accuse me of being too…

The Tragedy of a Boy Named Tonlist

July 10, 2023 In the depths of the dark, dark, sea. Swam a little boy named Tonlist, The pride and joy of his mother. With their family wild and free, They swam towards the distant mist, His mother, sister and his brother. It was a happy, happy, day, Full of excitement and sweet joy, Games to play with their family song, Swimming towards a lovely bay. Tonlist was a playful young boy, On such a day what could go wrong?…

The Depths of Depravity and the Faroese Contempt for the Human Race

The Depths of Depravity and the Faroese Contempt for the Human Race

July 9, 2023 The Faroese whale killers do not care what the world thinks of them. Their utter contempt about international public opinion was on full display today as they drove a pod of pilot whales onto a beach in the Faroe Islands. Not just any beach, but specifically the beach inside the harbor of the capital city of Torshaven, where they proceeded to do their viciously cruel and bloody perversions directly in front of the passengers onboard the cruise…
