In reply to the discussion: Three activists 'prisoners' after slipping aboard Japanese ship [View all]Bodhi BloodWave
(2,346 posts)its acceptable to lie and make up 'facts' to advance an agenda if you think its 'in the right'?
As for one of Watson's lies, lets use the most recent incident of the 3 Aussies.
By one of SS's own releases they speak of how they helped the 3 people under the cover of darkness to board the Japanese ship:
A later statement by Watson goes like this:
"I think the Australian Government would be very embarrassed if an armed Japanese vessel can just pick up Australian citizens in Australia and then take them away to Japan," Capt. Watson said.
A statement that in my opinion is a bald faced lie since the Japanese didn't just 'pick up Australian citizens' nor was it in Australia(economic zone yes, but not territorial).
The fact that SS themselves was kind enough to release a media reel showing the night time boarding proves his 'pick up' claim as a lie, the additional fact that by boarding the ship and as such subjecting themselves to Japanese sovereignty(the ship is flying Japanese colors ) gave the Japanese the authority needed to bring them to japan if they wished to charge them with the trespass.
