    Stop protesting and do something about it, make that magic fuel you have that can replace oil and not force every person on earth to buy a new car that cost an insane amount of money.

    Just drive the dump trucks through their pick-ups. Let 'em hitch home, and then arrest them for trespassing.

    How can this organization not be sued into financial oblivion after this? My buddy that called me from Ft Mac mentioned a helicopter also being involved...not sure on that piece.

    This kind of shit makes my blood boil. Can we just let them starve to death?

    Just notify the Chinese that these guys are infringing on their investment's profits. They will send their special forces over to handle it in their own tactful way. :lol:

    Another news source is covering this
    Just a point of curiosity, to quote that story:
    Nathan Jacobson, an Israeli-Canadian businessman who led a security assessment of Alberta's oilpatch in 2007, said the breach reveals serious flaws in oilsands security.

    "For 25 Greenpeace people to get in there � boy, is that a red light going off," he said from his home in Tel Aviv.

    Jacobson, who is not a security expert, led a team of international analysts � including James G. Liddy, a former U.S. Navy SEAL and chief of the U.S. Navy's counter-terrorism force protection plan, and Alan Bell, a 22-year veteran of the British SAS � on a fact-finding trip through the oilsands two years ago at the request of then-Transportation and Infrastructure minister Lyle Oberg.


    Is this the son of the famous G.Gordon Liddy?
    In addition to Will and the nonfiction books When I Was a Kid, This Was a Free Country (2002) and Fight Back! Tackling Terrorism, Liddy Style (2006, with his son Cdr. James G. Liddy, J. Michael Barrett, and Joel Selanikio), Liddy has published two novels: Out of Control (1979) and The Monkey Handlers (1990). Neither novel sold as well as the autobiography.

    I think so.

    So, are they going to protest the largest carbon emitter on the planet, and chain themselves to an erupting volcano?
