    Greenpeace Defaces Ancient Peruvian Landmark – Officials Outraged

    Greenpeace Defaces Ancient Peruvian Landmark – Officials Outraged





    GreenPeace extremists have gone to great lengths to harass whaling vessels with rubber rafts and chain themselves to trees in the rain forest in order to protest what they consider to be the destruction of the planet, they don’t seem to mind personally destroying cultural treasures.

    Fucking morons... I hope they spend 8 years in Peruvian prison.
    We found out what "dealing" with progressive lefties is all about. Our side gives up something, they give up nothing and the progressives come back in a month or a year and want us to give up more... rinse and repeat...

    Take them out into whaling waters and let them swim to protect the whales and those who chain themselves to trees, just cut ignore them and cut the tree down anyway.

    "And how we burned in the camps later thinking, what would things have been like, if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain, whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?"

    Nope. They laid out big pre-cut cloth letters. That's why it looks so "good".

    I know it seems like nothing, as it's just cloth laid on the ground. But Peru is very strict with visitors to the sites. Fly overs are ok, but you need special permission to actually walk the sites. It requires a government employee to be present, and at some sites you have to wear special shoe covers so as to minimize damage.

    These are literally just lines scratched into the ground. If the wind had got some of those letters loose and the dragged across the lines they really could erase them.

    Just trespassing into the sites, which they obviously did, could land a person in prison for up to 5 years.

    No photoshop, they may have defaced the site for all time...

    When the stunt-planners at Greenpeace sent teams of activists to trespass this week at Peru's Nazca archeological site, they must have thought their bumper-sticker messaging would look good on a Facebook page next to the 2,000-year-old geodesic drawings.

    After all, the group is known for stringing banners from bridges and skyscrapers to draw attention to its environmental campaigns, and with U.N. climate talks taking place in Lima this week, the activists clearly wanted to make an impact.

    And so they have. The impact of their footprints on the fragile desert site, in fact, will last "hundreds or thousands of years," according to outraged Peruvian officials.

    So furious is the Peruvian government that it has barred the Greenpeace activists from leaving the country and is preparing criminal charges for "attacking archeological monuments," punishable by up to eight years in prison.

    On Tuesday, culture ministry officials showed reporters aerial photographs of the damage, and said that when the Greenpeace trespassers snuck into the U.N. World Heritage site in the middle of the night, they marched single-file across the delicate volcanic rocks and white sand, leaving a path that has introduced a new line to the iconic Hummingbird-shaped figure.

    The damage is "irreversible," Peruvian officials say, explaining that the rainless desert landscape is so delicate that visitors are required to obtain government permission and use special shoes to approach the site.
