Bump on the head
by Po-Paul, onboard the Arctic Sunrise
During yesterdays actions I was hit on the head so hard by one of the whalers wielding a pole that I blacked out for a few seconds...I still see myself in front of a classroom explaining to kids the basic philosophies of Greenpeace: Bearing witness, independence, apolitical and non-violence. Once in a while, after seeing pictures of tortured activists, one of them would come up with a question like:" Would you hit them back." I have always used the Gandhi catchy phrase:" An eye for an eye makes the world go blind". Today it just made more sense.

Hello,
I am Liam ,I am 12 and I extremely outraged at the killing of these whales for so-called 'research' purposes, It is just a Scam to kill whales to sell the meat. I hope that you are successful in stopping the killers of these whales.

Dear All
The words "thank you" do not really sound quite enough to say to you for your wonderful efforts to thwart the Japanese in their dreaful and unnecessary killing of these majestic intelligent being we call whales.
As it says in To Kill a Mocking bird": "some people just have to do our dirty work for us." so
thanks again for your courage and the hope you give every person who feels so powerless and small in the face of giant, profit-driven and uncaring countries such as Japan.
Best Wishes
Vicki-Maree

PôPaul!
Comment va ta tête? J'espère que le mec qui t'a assomé ne fait pas de Kendo :-)
Continuer ce travail si important, qui rappelle au monde entier que ce n'est pas a une nation qui décide du destin de notre planète, mais nous tous :)
Paix.
