As it turns out, Greenpeace’s publicity stunts aren’t just preposterous — they’re dangerous.

Using the Access to Information Act, the Canadian Press published excerpts of a declassified government intelligence report on environmental activists’ that places Greenpeace squarely among a “growing radicalized environmentalist faction” in Canada.

This marks the second time in five months that Canadian media has uncovered a threat assessment report that labels Greenpeace “extremist.” Today’s revelation is starkly at odds with Greenpeace’s ludicrous claim that it is a credible, nonviolent organization.

Here are the key findings:

• “Criminal activity by Greenpeace activists typically consists of trespassing, mischief, and vandalism, and often requires a law enforcement response.”
• “Greenpeace actions unnecessarily risk the health and safety of the activists, the facility’s staff, and the first responders who are required to extricate the activists.”
• “Tactics employed by activist groups are intended to intimidate and have the potential to escalate to violence.”

As always, Greenpeace dodges responsibility for causing disturbances to public order and private business and wasting law enforcement resources. Yossi Cadan, campaigns director for Greenpeace Canada, swears, “For 40 years Greenpeace has never behaved violently…We are taking direct actions, but it’s never violent.”

After all of the arrests and fines racked up by all the “direct actions,” protests and harassment campaigns carried out by the “multi issue extremist group,” can anyone take Greenpeace at its word?

Not a chance.
