May 27, 2023 David Garrick, aka Walrus, was the closest person I ever knew to a modern-day druid. He lived in the forest amongst giant trees and spent years defending trees, wolves, whales, bears and salmon. He lived harmoniously with the bears that occasional visited and always forgave them if they caused any damage to his camp and garden. He lived close to Dr. Paul Spong and the Orcalab and gave visitors a tour of the forest on Hansen Island….
David Garrick (1946-2023) The Walrus May 25, 2023 A half a century ago I met a man who remained a close friend for my entire life although, because he was unable to enter the US and I have been unable to enter Canada, I have not seen him for many years, although we have stayed in touch. David Garrick also known as Walrus Oakenbough, or the Walrus, passed away yesterday. He was 77. He was my oldest and dearest friend….
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 19, 2023 What is it like at the age of 72 to have everything you have worked for, after 45 years, taken away by a hostile takeover by people you trusted and considered friends? What is it like to see your ships sold off and scrapped? What is it like to see the movement you created diminished and “rebranded” to be something much less than what it was, to adopt a new agenda that is contrary to the original…
May 19, 2023 Thanks to the relentless effort by Omar Todd, my Facebook page went from permanently disabled to restored. It was not easy. The organization whose name I am not allowed to say, the one that I created and led for 45 years, the one taken from me with a hostile takeover last year, had my page shut down for “trademark” violations because I cannot post any pictures of me wearing a shirt or with a flag or logo…
In less than a year we established the Captain Paul Watson Foundation, we have secured a ship, recruited a great crew, we secured our 501c3 charitable status, recruited thousands of supporters, established ourselves in four countries (USA, plus UK, Spain and Australia). We have partnered with SS France, SS Brazil, and SS Hungary. We are preparing to produce a new network TV show like we previously did with Whale Wars, and we have done all this while being sued by…
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…
May 10, 2023 MAJOR OBSTACLES HAVE BEEN OVERCOME I want to thank all our supporters that have made it possible for us to do the impossible. A year ago, I was ousted from the organization that I am not allowed to name, the organization that I founded in 1977 and built up over 45 years to become the most effective marine conservation movement on the planet. Became, but no more. From being an in-their-face, no nonsense, controversial and effective movement,…
May 5, 2023 Captain Paul Watson’s Newsletter from the Church of Biocentrism In 1543, less than 500 years ago, Nicolaus Copernicus got into some serious trouble with the Catholic Church when he simply pointed out his quite accurate observation that the Earth went around the Sun. It’s hard to understand today just how much of a shock this was to the anthropocentric worldview that once held that we were the center of the known universe. With this revelation the “Copernican Principle” came…
5/4/2023 Blessings For Today Blessed are all you “crazy people” who think and act independent of the opinions of others, for you will be forever free. Disregard the attacks and insults of critics and naysayers and nothing can stop you. Blessed are all the boat rockers, wave makers and pot stirrers, for you will change the world. Blessed are the rebels, the defiant ones, the compassionate, determined and persistent ones, for you will win both hearts and minds. Be the…
