I. Take a look over here, why the USA Government  is not going a move a finger towards the whales issue or any other issue which may endanger the national income .We just made the calculations related to the whales nightmare:  Japan buys from USA total exportations, over $60 billions a year.

Of American exports to Japan in 2007, the following product categories had the highest values and in total represented   40% of all U.S. shipments into Japan.

1. Complete civilian aircraft … US$4.2 billion (6.6% of Japanese imports from America) – up 18.8% from 2006

HIGHSEAS & ON-GROUND WAR OF ATTRITION :

This is not a war of nations…this is not a decision call of any politician, spiritual leader or Government agency. This is a war of mankind against its own extinction. Sea Shepherd is leading the right war on high seas, but this is just half  the battle.

The lack of a coordinated on-ground offensive will eternally delay Sea Shepherd´s global results…though highly effective on high seas, Watson´s crew is literally fighting alone. Why?

Well, quite easy…by Watson´s own words: Due to economic reasons! And we showed you above the macro economy and international trading  export figures of the only 2 countries who could change the course of this Whales War…they won´t move a finger toward mankind´s own extinction concerns!

We say that SSCS is literally fighting alone, because we believe that no environmental organization on ground is achieving a hundredth part of what Sea Shepherd is doing on high seas, regarding their battle against whales extinction through massive commercial murdering. Therefore, the imbalance and delay in the global impact of SSCS good results.

Regarding  our comment above, we consulted  Georgienne Bradley , Executive Director of Imaging Foundation and we quoted her words: “…so there are a few orgs that are hard hitting on ground…”,and she adds  “…Earth First and other underground orgs are doing a good job..”

Ok, we agree with her and we reconsider their “contribution drops” to this oceanic war. But according to our research we still think that a few are not enough in this war. Against those giant nations backing up Japan´s operations with their indifference to the “Whales Genocide”…”a few good men”  is not enough for the Whales War!

On the other hand, proposing boycott campaigns against Japan´s products are useless…high costs of fuels ties our hands…do I save a whale or do I save my money buying a japanese car?, may appear to be the main question!  Do I save a dolphin or do I buy a high quality-low price DVD player for my japanese car? Please, do not feel attacked or try to look  for an excuse to justify your buying decisions …I am guilty as well! What we are exactly pointing at, is to our core social and economical problems. Mathematically and with a little bit of sociology theory  we are showing  you all, that we have  lost control over a boycott  to Japan´s products many years ago.

We ask you all guys, that call yourself eco-warriors: what kind of cars are we driving, what kind of audio equipments we have at home, what trademark are our 42″ TVs ???  Now more than ever, our weak economies depend on the nations that are massively murdering these poor creatures…case closed!

How do we get out then, of this vicious circle of useless campaigns, useless good intentions and disoriented on-ground environmental offensives, way behind from the SSCS excellence on high seas strategy? Again, we believe the answer is quite easy..but would  be the implementation of the solution that we propose feasible?

1. Our idea is that we must get together and design as a team, an attrition war on-ground offensive as effective and well thought as SSCS passive-agressive strategy on high seas..! And afterwards, we must arm ourselves  of patience, because it is going to take a while until it starts affecting our enemies profits…again Mr. Watson would be the best example and teacher of perseverance…this new war on ground  we are proposing won´t be the same as the eco fashion “T-Shirts and Stickers War” we are used to, our friends!

We believe that extreme situations demand extreme solutions and extraordinary men to support them! Tell us Mr. Watson, are we wrong?

INSIDE JAPAN EDUCATION CAMPAIGN

As effective as the Steve Irwin and as fast as the Ady Gil vessels, would be the results of a well designed education offensive inside Japan. We ignore if further conversations or actions have been done toward this topic. Until now we are not aware of it!

DID COPENHAGEN REALLY FAIL?

If we keep believing that world leaders are going to support fully the environmental issues, even after showing you just a few exporting and importing figures related to some topics involved in the whole Copenhagen Package …if we still believe that…well yes, Copenhagen failed. And we are not being ungrateful with the few who helped…but again, a few are not enough…

On the other hand, our thesis based on a world coalition of eco-organizations observes Copenhagen as one of the most succesful environmental events ever…it gathered hundreds of millions of people in one voice, and now most of them connected through all this media phenomema called social nets…

Can´t you see the mysterious ways the Universe moves?…it knew the result even before Copenhagen started but it knew also, that it was going to be the most succesful gathering in history of fellow brothers of the cause. Now we only need  just one leader per country to form the United Green Nations , or whatever name we would think is the best.

Think about it…we are far away from failing, because we didn´t…we won at Copenhagen if we capitalize wisely this world unification that we have witnessed!

WE HONESTLY EXPECT THAT OUR CRITICS AND POINTS OF VIEW, WILL  START SOONER THE WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL DEBATE THAT MANKIND NEEDS TO SAVE US FROM AN IMMINENT EXTINCTION !
