SSCS is blocking the harpoons of Japanese whalers -- on the occasion of WikiLeaks' revelation of a 9 Nov 2009 State Department cable collaborating with Japanese fisheries and urging revocation of Sea Shepherd's tax-exemption.
ALSO,
WikiLeaks cable(s) on US and multinational oil interests in Nigeria, and indigineous suppression, including a "Making Contact" documentary on Nigeria from the national Radio Project.
Credits: Hosted by Robert Knight, and produced with Kaitlin Prest and Michael G. Haskins.
Notes: The program features a live, 3 Jan 2011, interview with Sea Shepherd Captain Paul Watson, during an anti-whaling operation in the Southern Sea, just after WikiLeaks' release of the 9 Nov 2009 State Department cable detailing the Tokyo Embassy's consultation with Japanese fisheries officials, and promise of a review or revocation of Sea Shepherd's tax-exempt status.
The broadcast includes an acoustic reading of the cable, and Watson's response that the US action may involve an impeachable offence.
