A forestry company filed a civil Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) lawsuit against Greenpeace Tuesday for misrepresenting the company’s environmental record to raise funds and promote its agenda.
Greenpeace knowingly and deliberately made false claims about the company while fundraising, and fabricated evidence of Resolute’s alleged environmental malfeasance, according to the forestry and paper company Resolute Forest Products. RICO is an anti-mafia law designed to combat organized crime.
Greenpeace’ is a global fraud,” states the 124-page legal complaint. “For years, this international network of environmental groups collectively calling themselves ‘Greenpeace’ has fraudulently induced people throughout the United States and the world to donate millions of dollars based on materially false and misleading claims about its purported environmental purpose and its ‘campaigns’ against targeted companies. Maximizing donations, not saving the environment, is Greenpeace’s true objective.”
Resolute alleges Greenpeace outright fabricated and digitally modified photos to damage the company and increase fundraising efforts.
...
Greenpeace has ironically repeatedly urged the federal government to investigate oil companies and organizations that dispute the risks of global warming using the exact same RICO legislation.

I spent 35 years working for forestry and paper companies and know these problems very well.
It’s about G D time one of them (at least) fought back!

Just like “rev” Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition. Just a different color!

The left loves to sue and settle. Large fees for the criminals / lawyers and no public hearings on illegal / unconstitutional new regulations.

Good for RFP, Greenpeace is nothing more than a shakedown racket.

Greenpeace is part of a big developers’ racket!
And those lawsuits against the EPA for more expensive wood heaters and water heaters? Those were sweetheart suits for big, centralized manufacturing interests.
Go stealth. Build rocket stove mass heaters and stealthy solar water and space heaters! Most big utility company investments come from government employees and administrators! Escape from their plantation!
