New Report Documents Greenpeace's Unethical Behavior and Hypocrisy
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4, 2010 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Piracy, Distortion of Facts, Slander, Pressure and Concoction of Events
Documented and Exposed
The Consumers Alliance for Global Prosperity (CAGP)
and distortions propagated by Greenpeace. The study documents the most telling examples of how Greenpeace
has gone about a campaign of piracy, distortion, slander and pressure to achieve its narrow political objectives that
hinder economic growth and keep developing nations shackled in poverty.
Announcing the study's release, CAGP's Andrew Langer stated, "Our
consumer alliance has now documented the Greenpeace strategy and exposed it
for what it is - a colonial style shakedown of poor countries and business.
It is our hope that this report will make more people aware of the boorish
and counterproductive agenda espoused by Greenpeace, an agenda that, if not
fully refuted, would lead to a destitute future for millions in the
developing world. In a time of great economic uncertainty, it's appalling to
see Greenpeace promoting policies that lead to job losses, loss of income and
pay little regard to efforts to stimulate job creation and growth in
developing countries."
Langer continued, "Launching this report comes on the heels of a historic
win for the forces that are pro-prosperity and work to promote working
families throughout the globe following the Indonesian government's refusal
to allow the Greenpeace warship into its ports. This is a tremendous victory
for those opposed to this movement, and it reaffirms our commitment to speak
the truth about Greenpeace and other pro-poverty Green for-profits."
The report, entitled, Environmental Colonialism: Greenpeace's Siege on
explains, "[Greenpeace's] strategies more often than not reduce economic growth. Its core strategies rest on the
presumption that economic growth per se harms the environment. In developing countries, its strategies, if
applied, would reduce standards of living and hinder, if not reverse, strategies to reduce poverty."
