Greenpeace is most cordially invited to kiss my ass,

and if they come to my home the welcome will be warm indeed.
The proper channels have failed. It's time for mass civil disobedience to cut off the financial oxygen from denial and skepticism.

If you're one of those who believe that this is not just necessary but also possible, speak to us. Let's talk about what that mass civil disobedience is going to look like.

If you're one of those who have spent their lives undermining progressive climate legislation, bankrolling junk science, fueling spurious debates around false solutions, and cattle-prodding democratically-elected governments into submission, then hear this:

We know who you are. We know where you live. We know where you work.

And we be many, but you be few
.
And, after that Juliette spends lots of time saying things like
Dear policraticus,
I don't believe anyone had mentionned a gun fight so far. I'm sorry to say we won't be joining you in it - this is not what civil disobedience and non-violent direct action is about.
Juliette

Except that doesn't exactly fit well with
We know who you are. We know where you live. We know where you work.

And we be many, but you be few
.

How about
Hi,
I'm sorry to see we don't have the same definition of non-violent direct action, though I hope that we can come to a compromise and say that "the power of our votes, our taxes, our wallets", as Gene put it in the blog above, applies under that definition.
Peace,
Juliette

'Peace', she says. Y'know, Juliette, nice words about 'non-violent direct action' don't exactly cover up for
We know who you are. We know where you live. We know where you work.

And we be many, but you be few
.

And there's this at one point from their web producer:
Hi all,

I had a chat with Juliette and we decided to re-open the comments (they were closed for about an hour).

She was understandably freaked out by the violent tone of some of the people posting.

While we encourage and appreciate discussion in the comments, do stay polite and don't incite violence. (Not towards our staff, not towards people we disagree with, not towards anyone. Please be nice people. Thanks.)

-- Andrew (Greenpeace web producer)
Hey, dumbass: you're the ones who ended your little piece with
We know who you are. We know where you live. We know where you work.

And we be many, but you be few
.
and you're 'freaked out' that people catch the threat? And react to it? You're either damned liars or effing idiots.

'Course, you may well be both.
