The following information has been provided by Greenpeace:

Los California, CA – Greenpeace activists shut down a Mobil gas station today in the heart of Beverly Hills just hour after shutting down an Exxon station in Manhattan. Protestors peacefully chained themselves to gas pumps at both locations and dropped a banner that read “Stop Global Warming. Don’t Buy ExxonMobil.” The protests marked the start of a national day of action against ExxonMobil by environmental, human rights and pro-democracy groups.

“We are here today with a simple message – don’t buy ExxonMobil products until they stop interferring with government action on global warming,” said Melanie Duchin, Greenpeace Climate Campaigner. “It’s time for concerned citizens to use the power of the pocketbook to force the world’s number one global villian to change its ways.”

The Los Angeles protest followed an action earlier in the day at an Exxon station in New York City. Activists are demonstrating at another 80 Exxon and Mobil stations across the nation.

“Greenpeace has launched an international campaign against ExxonMobil that will continue until the company stops sabotaging government action on global warming and agrees to support mandatory reductions in global warming pollution,” saod Gary Cook Greenpeace Climate Campaign Coordinator. “In Europe and elsewhere, ExxonMobil is already feeling the heat from Greenpeace and consumers – now the campaign is being ramped up in the United States.”

Greenpeace has documented ExxonMobil’s efforts to prevent action on global warming in a report titled, “Denial and Deception: A Chronicle of ExxonMobil’s Corruption of the Global Warming Debate.” Despite multiple appeals from Greenpeace and others ExxonMobil has refused to change its policy. The company is using its sizable resources to support top politicians, like President Bush, in an effort to stifle U. S. action on global warming.

Global warming eclipses all other environmental challenges of the 21st. century.
Throughout the last decade, ExxonMobile has been viewed internationally as the number one company driving the ongoing industry campaign to derail the international agreement to solve global warming.

ExxonMobile and their allies have long spearheaded a cooperate war against environmental regulation. They give millions of dollars to political campaigns and candidates and spend millions more on lobbyists. As a result of this effort they get large financial payback in the form of government subsidies, tax breaks and access to public lands.

The latest attack on climate science was revealed this year in a secret ExxonMobil memo to president Bush. The memo asked for the removal of Dr. Robert Warson, the Chair of IPCC. The Bush administration climate team and its allies executed ExxonMobil’s will in mid-April of 2002.

Greenpeace is upset about Exxonmobil interfering in government policy on global warming? What, exactly does Greenpeace do other than interfere with government policy???

In typical fascistic tradition, the Left wants only one voice heard on an issue, that of the regressive, reactionary force of oppression.

Greenpeace Fascist?

T – Mex Goofy!

Now stretch your point.

I gotta go fill up the car. Off to Exxon or Mobil.

It's good to see that greenpeace looks as if it is beginning to end its factional infighting and making real direct actions again. The idiots that have posted here cant detract from these brave activists' noble sacrifices. In January 2001 it was reported that a chunk of the antarctic ice cap the size of a state broke off and melted into the seas. Everybody, by now knows that there is a giant hole in the ozone. The climactic weather changes are so obvious that even professional liars and illegitimate corporate stooges like George Bush admit that global warming is a reality with serious consequences.

These good people are willing to get arrested to help to change this. Exxon is an evil company on many levels; primarily for the global warming assistance but also for their interests in the oncoming Iraqi war and contribution to the military industrial complex in general. Thank you once again, noble greenpeace activists for putting your bodies and liberties on the line to try and bring positive changes. Dont let your hierarchical structure get bogged down with stupid factional infighting this time.

I think its great to see people doing this type of demonstration and risking arrest. I do agree that the message is misunderstood alot of times with any and most activist groups. Education is something we all find extremely important in order for liberation ,although most groups do not educate the averge person about the issue. All outreach is provided to the activist groupsand usually jsut them.
Some people dont know exactly how mobil contributes to global warming. You need to also provide some type of alternative for them.

As you aptly quoted, a fascist is one who has :

a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control
By using coercive action to prevent anyvoice other than that of Greenpeace from being heard (as in, we must stop Exxonmobile from trying to influence policy), Greenpeace is seeking to silence its critics and assume complete control over all matters of energy use, including industrial production.

...'scuse me, but WHAT FUCKIN' PLANET DO YOU LIVE ON WHERE GREENPEACE IS DROWNING OUT ALL OPPOSING VOICES?????

...certainly not this planet...which explains you off-world views - definitely not grounded in any reality...delusional fuck...

T-Mix, you’re losing it. You’ve just linked ExxonMobile by definition with Fascism. Greenpeace didn’t even do that.

T Mex is a complete moron. He can't even manage to support his own cause without actually going even farther than the left in making it look bad.

When you look to the ideology of a movement like Greenpeace the correct term would not be <> but <>, in the ideology of nazism the land, the soil, had a sort of spiritual value. As it is for the so called Greens.
This does not means that a democratic person has to dump, not at all. The fact is that the defence of the environment has to be done by other ways than the coup de main or the assults or this ways. This behaviour could be with no mistake labelled as fascist. The trouble is that the political organizzation of the Lover of the Earth is that they forgot that the equilibrium of the planet would require that not more than 600 million of human being walk the planet, such a population wold have a greather biomass than all the 10 big species put toghether: are we going to kill nine person out of ten. Do not count me in the party
