February 18, 2024 There are those who betray for gold. There are those who betray for fame. There are those who betray for hate. Betrayal sprouts from hearts gone cold. The shame of the betrayal game. There is no expiry date. The betrayer can never have peace. Malfeasance and perfidy. Haunted by sin until the end. The guilt festers and does not cease. Those traitors who deserted me. The ones who I once did call friend. I gave them the…
December 19, 2023 I will never forget the betrayal that ousted me from the Sea Shepherd movement I founded in 1977. In August 2022, I was unlawfully dismissed from Sea Shepherd Global. There was no meeting, no discussion, no vote. Sea Shepherd Global had six directors including myself and Sea Shepherd France President Lamya Essemlali. Lamya was not invited to the meeting because they knew she would support me. The meeting was held in secret. They dismissed me with an…
October 31, 2023 A movement is based on trust. When that bond of trust is broken there is no greater betrayal. The Sea Shepherd movement was built on trust. There was no other way. An organization can be controlled, but the very nature of a movement is that it cannot be controlled. Four directors of Sea Shepherd Global have betrayed the Sea Shepherd movement. The Sea Shepherd movement was a democratic association of independent national entities. Each entity had its…
May 23, 2023 Just putting this out there, but has anyone heard from any of these guys about why they did what they did? Since last summer I have sent them messages – No Response. I have challenged them to a public debate – No Response. Lamya Essemlali has challenged them to a public debate – No Response. She has messaged them – No Response. I would love to know why Jeff Hansen partnered with SS Australia with Austral Fisheries…
May 22, 2023 Bob Barker – Scrapped disgracefully John Paul DeJoria I – Scrapped disgracefully Sharpie – Scrapped disgracefully Farley Mowat II – Scrapped disgracefully White Holly – Scrapped disgracefully Brigitte Bardot – Sold disgracefully What did they all have in common? All of them were found, purchased and refitted by Captain Paul Watson. They were his legacy, and they were seized and destroyed – not by the enemies of life in the seas, BUT by those who betrayed the…
May 15, 2023 I think that one of my problems is that I trust people too much. Because of this trust, I often fail to see the signs or heed advice. In hindsight, I see that this betrayal was indeed a long time in the making. I gave both these men my loyal support for twenty years and never once doubted their loyalty to me. As the saying goes, “fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.”…
May 13, 2023 Kim Diaz is now the paid outreach director for SSCS. She was once a friend, and someone who was not happy with the changes made by Pritam Singh. She even helped me to take control of chapter pages before I left SSCS. And then she had a meeting with Pritam. She was given money and a job, and overnight she turned on me. Ok, maybe she needed the money and of course, she is free to make…
