Translated into practical English means "a network of people who like to smoke pot." :-)

I've read some of the articles he's written over the years, about why he left greenpeace and founded another organization (greenspirit), he's right in that greenpeace is a anti-science bunch of socialist who have no understanding of the free markets and have hijacked the enviornmental movement, but his other accusations, are essentially criminal charges against greenpeace, and I for one, do think, that somone should probe greenpeace to see if there is any truth to some of charges.

I agree wholeheartedly. The original environmental activists were not bad people. Their hearts were truly in the right place and much of what they advocated needed to be done (and much has been). But, in the late '60's - early -70's, the environmental movement was hijacked by the former hippies who rebelled against everything western.

Let's not forget that many of the original environmental activists were also stalwarts in the Republican Party . . . Theodore Roosevelt, Gifford Pinchot, etc.
