Greenpeace gives up names of four activists involved in Nazca site desecration.

There’s twenty more or so minions who need to be revealed, but starting with some of the head vandals isn’t so bad:

Greenpeace named Wolfgang [Sadik], a veteran Greenpeace Germany campaigner, as the mastermind behind the assault on the Nazca Lines. The organization has also named Martin Kaiser, the person responsible for Greenpeace’s actions at the UN climate talk in Lima, and Isis Wiedeman, Greenpeace’s chief communications officer at the Lima summit. Both are linked to Greenpeace Germany. Mauro Fernandez, the final activist named in the report and a staffer for Greenpeace’s Argentina branch, told Peruvian reporters on Sunday night that Sadik hadn’t informed him that the Nazca site was sensitive, and that their planned actions were illegal.

Note: ‘some.’  I don’t care what Greenpeace is claiming: this operation wasn’t the sole responsibility of whichever faction happened to come up short in the internal fighting. If I was Peru, I’d be demanding that Germany secure any and all relevant records and paperwork from the German Greenpeace group before said records ‘disappear.’ Assuming that they can… eh, it’s Europe. The national governments over there are amazingly good at making the laws and regulations permit anything that the national governments need the laws and regulations to permit.

Still: nice to have names to vandals.

PS: I am very pleased to note that I was wrong: Greenpeace DID give up some White European males! Good job, Greenpeace.  Here. Have a cookie.

This really is the epitome of the peculiar, almost pure, kind of stupidity that you can expect from radical environmental activists. And pig-headedness. And a fundamental inability to understand why other people have this little voice in their heads that tell them when it’s a bad idea to do something. And… oh, I could go on about this for hours.  But marvel:

“Time for Change; The Future is Renewable” was the message of Greenpeace activists protesting at the ancient Nazca Lines UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Peruvian desert on Monday.

The activists placed yellow letters next to a famous hummingbird design, and now Peruvian authorities are threatening to sue Greenpeace and criminally charge the activists with “attacking archaeological monuments,” according to The Associated Press.
