BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH . .. . Paul “cultist” Watson claims he “represents the interests of the whales” . I claim he represents the best interests of himself and himself only with repeated requests for donations which have made this charlatan a millionaire living the easy life of a self indulgent media whoring pretensious celebrity who only cares about himself only ,constant publicity which he instigates, and a massive bank account courtesy of millions of dollars in donations – he doesnt even pay tax. Watson cooks the books so he never gets charged with fraud as he surrounds himself with like minded criminals and thugs. He brainwashes youth who have no direction in life who become his motley crew he then treats them like the parasites he regards all humans, he fakes collisions at sea , boat ramming and scuttling, he doesnt know fact from fiction , he is a liar and a con man. He should not be allowed to influence the young and swagger through life as this god like hero when in actual fact he is a dangerous psycho who should be locked up.

“I like the cause because the methods are illegal and wrong.” -Paul Waton.

“I’ve known the guy (Watson) for 15 years, and he’s absolutely insane, out of his mind.”
— Jim Boland, Greenpeace co-founder

“I don’t give a damn what you think because I am in charge and people WILL listen to me” -Paul Watson

‘I am the world’s most experienced ship rammer. I have been ramming ships since I first knocked the pirate whaler Sierra out of business in July 1979.’

“You people are full of **** and have no clue what you are talking about, your nothing more than insignificant hominids” – Paul Watson.

RULE 8
ACTION TO AVOID COLLISION

(a) Any action taken to avoid collision shall be taken in accordance with the Rules of this Part and [Intl] shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, be positive, made in ample time and with due regard to the observance of good seamanship.

(b) Any alteration of course and/or speed to avoid collision shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, be large enough to be readily apparent to another vessel observing visually or by radar; a succession of small alterations of course and/or speed should be avoided.

(c) If there is sufficient sea room, alteration of course alone may be the most effective action to avoid a close-quarters situation provided that it is made in good time, is substantial and does not result in another close-quarters situation.

(d) Action taken to avoid collision with another vessel shall be such as to result in passing at a safe distance. The effectiveness of the action shall be carefully checked until the other vessel is finally past and clear.

(e) If necessary to avoid collision or allow more time to asses the situation, a vessel may slacken her speed or take all way off by stopping or reversing her means of propulsion.

(f)

1. A vessel which, by any of these rules, is required not to impede the passage or safe passage of another vessel shall, when required by the circumstances of the case, take early action to allow sufficient sea room for the safe passage of the other vessel.
2. A vessel required not to impede the passage or safe passage of another vessel is not relieved of this obligation if approaching the other vessel so as to involve risk of collision and shall, when taking action, have full regard to the action which may be required by the rules of this part.
3. A vessel, the passage of which is not to be impeded remains fully obliged to comply with the rules of this part when the two vessels are approaching one another so as to involve risk of collision.

Except where Rules 9, 10, and 13 otherwise require:

(a) A power-driven vessel underway shall keep out of the way of:

1. a vessel not under command;
2. a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver;
3. a vessel engaged in fishing;
4. a sailing vessel.
Please read (a) 3. A VESSEL ENGAGED IN FISHING.

Though I commend any person that is willing and able to stand up and “fight” for what they feel is “right”… two wrongs do not constitute a “right”.
NOTE: This rule does NOT specify that it has to be Legal.

You are free to conspire reasons why the US would not allow this rouge vessel to operate within her waters but there is no denying that this group shows blatant disregard to vandal laws, trespassing laws, criminal damage laws, the safety of crews the safe operation of their vessels.

One final Note of laughter:
“SSCS actions has tremendous success against the Illegal Japanese whaling in the Antactic whale sanctuary. We have cost the Japanese whaling industry their profits for five years and cut their quotas almost in half. This last voyage saved 305 whales. We saved 500+ in 2007/2008, 500+ in 2006/2007 and 83 whales in 2005/2006. We have the Japanese whaling fleet in debt and we will keep the pressure on until we bankrupt the industry and whaling ends.”

To the above numbers I have but only two words: PROVE IT.

By the way – whale meat is very tasty. Cheers.
