London (dpa) - The body of a British Greenpeace activist was found in a river in Brazil's rain forest, three days after she was reported missing, Greenpeace said Monday.

An investigation is under way to determine the cause of death. Emily Craddock, 27, was last seen Friday night aboard the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise on the Xingu river, 2,400 kilometres north of Rio de Janeiro.

The ship was on a mission to protest against logging in the Brazilian rain forest.

The kindergarten teacher has worked for Greenpeace for four years as a radio operator. She was found close to where the ship was located on Friday night.

An Arctic Sunrise demise ... sorry to hear it... sounds like a nice gal, too. Condolences to the family of the deceased.

[TheDon]

One less contributor to global warming, several billion more to go...

"The kindergarten teacher has worked for Greenpeace for four years as a radio operator."

Can you imagine being a kid in this babe's kindergarten class? That must be a real blast. Wheat grass juice and tofu for snack time, followed by leftist indoctrination time, and then a nap.

Why do you think they keep saying 'global warming'. I think they are lost, and think they are in Iceland.

"she shouldn't have ended up dead"

Amen.

Goes to show how much media access these guys have. If the girl had fallen off a ferry on an independent vacation and drowned, you'd never have heard of her.

Greenpeas even uses here death to generate sympathy for her, that will reflect on them.

"The body of a British Greenpeace activist was found in a river in Brazil's rain forest...."

I guess the Brazilian loggers are not as careful with protesters as they Oregon loggers....

[Mr. Lucky]

We're all gonna end up dead; that't just the way it is.

[r9etb]

True. But we needn't dance on the graves of those who precede us.

[Eva]

Apparently the Brazilians don't care who she worked for either. A few weeks ago, a Shell executive (American)and his wife were murdered in his beach front condo in Brazil. I think it was just that she was obviously American.

[Mr. Lucky]

If we don't identify and avoid the behavior of the fools among us, we cannot advance. Here, we have the sad story of a kindergarten teacher who fancied herself a sailor. She wasn't and her fantasy cost her her life.

[r9etb]

I think it was just that she was obviously American.

I think "obviously white" is probably more apt.

[Eva]

I'm not sure about that, there has been a lot of Muslim activity down there. The Muslims are flocking to these S. American countries where the leftists are seizing power, probably communist Muslims.

[dfwgator]

She is this year's recipient of the Rachel Corrie Award.

[RightOnline]

Prayers up on behalf of her family. God bless 'em. Terrible thing to lose a child.

Some graves come pre-equiped with tap floors. I don't think this one did, we'll find out as the investigation proceeds, but some do.

Her last words: "That's ok, girl. I won't hurt you. I'm with Greenpeace..."

(And there's the buzzer for the end of this round. Darwin scores again!)

We all end up dead. Is this death some how more the tragedy b/c she was young, pretty, and be-dewed w/ innocence?

Really? Well, except here in FR, there's another news story we'll never hear about.

[r9etb]

It's a tragedy because she was probably murdered. Nobody deserves that.

[sergeantdave]

Before we get all weepy over this, let's inject a couple of facts.

Greenpeace and all who work for it are mass murderers.

This spring the fascists at Greenpeace tried to stop bio-engineered foods destined for starving African women, children and babies. The US Trade Ambassador publicly called for crimes against humanity charges to be leveled against Greenpeace. Eventually the African citizens said "the hell with you," broke into the storehouses and took the food.

Greenpeace, among others, works behind the scenes to assure DDT is not used in Third World countries. Each year 3 million citizens in Asia and Africa die from preventible diseases like malaria, mostly women, children and babies.

And the connection between the KGB and Greenpeace is well known.

Greenpeace is engaged in a mass murder of vast proportions. Pity directed toward these communists is grossly misplaced.

[sonofatpatcher2]

Was she a close friend of Bill?

Could Arkancide have gone south?

[tracer]

It would appear that today's Brazil is not a safe place for Americans.

A Shell Oil executive and his wife, both Utah natives, were murdered last week. Blunt objects were used but their children were spared....

[Domestic Church]

"And the connection between the KGB and Greenpeace is well known."

First I've heard of this...always suspected the socialist underpinnings but didn't know it was soviet related. Any links on this KGB connection?

Amazon: Greenpeace activist missing
7.44PM, 13 Dec 2003


Rescue workers are scouring Brazil's Amazon Delta for a British Greenpeace activist. (Picture: www.greenpeace.org)

Radio technician Emily Craddock, 27, from Primrose Hill, northwest London, is believed to have fallen overboard from the Arctic Sunrise during a campaign against illegal logging in the area.

The ship was sailing from Porto de Moz on the Xingu River to the Para state capital Belem, 1,500 miles north of Rio de Janeiro, when she was reported missing.

The crew on the Greenpeace ship last saw her early yesterday. When they discovered she was missing several hours later the boat turned around and retraced its course.

The environmental group said it is still hopeful of finding Ms Craddock.

"We don't know what happened yet, but at this moment, we don't state any suspicion that her disappearance could have anything to do with the anti-logging campaign," a Greenpeace spokeswoman said.

A helicopter, Cessna plane and three inflatable boats are all searching the Para River for the missing Briton.

Local people and Belem's port authority are also helping in the operation, which is expected to continue until tomorrow night. A police investigation is also expected to follow, Greenpeace said.

The Foreign Office said it is in contact with Ms Craddock's family.

She was one of several Britons on the boat, which has faced threats from loggers since late October when it began investigating illegal deforestation along the shores of the river, which flows into the Amazon River about 250 miles west of Belem.

Last month loggers in river boats tried to block the Arctic Sunrise from the river where most of the illegal logging takes place.

Community leaders in the area supported by Greenpeace also received anonymous threats that both a building they used as a meeting place and the ship would be attacked and burned.

The region between Altamira, Porto de Moz and Belem is one of the main areas of rainforest destruction in the Amazon due to illegal logging and an advancing agricultural frontier.

Violent clashes and killings over land are frequent in the region.

That Greenpeace should support Saddam is no surprise to those acquainted with its KGB links and its pathological hatred of capitalism pro-Soviet activities.

Much as Greenpeace has tried to cover up, with the help of sympathetic journalists, its Soviet links, it is a matter of public record that during the 1980s the Soviets helped Greenpeace raise funds in return for which it helped the Soviets plan propaganda campaigns.

During the 80s the Soviets helped Greenpeace raise funds, while the environmentalist group helped formulate Soviet propaganda. It appears, however, that cooperation did not stop with just aiding the Soviet propaganda onslaught against the West.

Greenpeace made Fernando Pereira its official photographer. But Pereira had been an important member of the Stasi-backed Baader-Meinhof gang, a Marxist-Leninist terrorist group. The Dutch Communist Party later made him editor of its paper Der Waarheld. Eventually he was arrested by Dutch intelligence as a Soviet agent.

(The view that Greenpeace is evidently not bothered by certain brands of terrorism was given additional weight when it not only supported the eco-terrorist group Earth First but its cofounder Michael Roselle payroll).

Pereira was brought to Greenpeace by the World Peace Council, another Soviet front whose chairman, Chandra Romesh, was a Soviet agent.

So what was Greenpeace doing hiring a Soviet agent who had been an active member of a terrorist organisation? Well, do not bother asking, because Greenpeace ain't saying. But in case anyone thinks an innocent Greenpeace had been taken for a ride by cunning Soviet agents I should direct to attention to those KGB dregs that Greenpeace is still knowingly collaborating with.

William Arkin is the director of the Nuclear Information unit at Greenpeace. He was also a member of the Marxist-Leninist Washington-based IPS (Institute of Policy Studies). The IPS is notorious for having supported every communist regime that ever existed, including every leftwing terrorist organisation I can think of. It was so brazen in its support of the Soviets it even allowed KGB operatives to work in its Washington Office.

Brian Crozier (a highly respected commentator on intelligence matters and a fellow of the prestigious Institute for the Study of Conflict) summed up the real role of the IPS when he wrote:

"The IPS is the perfect intellectual front for Soviet activities which would be resisted if they were too originate openly from the KGB."

Another Greenpeace collaborator is the National Lawyers Guild. This Marxist-Leninist front for the Soviets was set up in 1936 by a caucus of the American Communist Party (CPUSA) which was helped at the time by the International Labor Defence, which in turn was an agency of the Comintern (Communist International).

Greenpeace is also in bed with the CCR (Centre for Constitutional Rights) which was co-founded by pro-Soviet lawyers William Kuntsler and Arthur Kinoy. This pair never saw a communist totalitarian state they did not like. Michael Ratner is the organisation's current president and a notorious fellow traveller who blames the US — you guessed it — for terrorism.

The Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy is another longstanding friend of the water melons (green on the outside, red on the inside) that run Greenpeace. The IPS was instrumental in setting up SANE to oppose resistance to Soviet aggression. To make this organisation's pro-Soviet activities more effective Greenpeace helped it build a computer network to coordinate its anti-American activities.

That Greenpeace should now brazenly support Saddam while viciously libelling Howard a "war criminal" exposes not just its moral and intellectual bankruptcy but the fact that it is still practising subversion.

[FITZ]

I don't care who she worked for, she shouldn't have ended up dead.

But that's what happens when you naively go wandering about third world countries where the people hate you. She might have been a do-gooder --- but being naive and gullible can kill you if you aren't a little bit smart about it.

The MV Arctic Sunrise

Origin
Ironically, before Greenpeace owned the MV (Motor Vessel) Arctic Sunrise it was once a sealing vessel. Greenpeace also had previously confronted the ship while it was delivering equipment for the French government to build an airstrip through a penguin habitat in the Antarctic.

Despite this, Greenpeace bought the Arctic Sunrise in 1995 using a company called Arctic Sunrise Ventures Ltd, since the ship's Norwegian owners would never sell it to Greenpeace.

She fancied her saving the Earth - and rough men whose jobs she wanted to end probably did her in. Or maybe just the normal crooks in that rough place, after they raped her. Remember a few years ago - another do-gooder slain...

America's Cup champion Blake dead at 53 Associated Press SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Masked pirates boarded sailing champion Peter Blake's yacht on the Amazon River, shooting and killing the two-time America's Cup winner when he tried to resist. Blake, 53, was on a worldwide expedition to monitor global warming and pollution aboard his 119-foot yacht, said Alan Sefton, spokesman for Blake's organization, blakexpeditions. Joyce Blake said while her son's participation in round-the-world yachting caused family members to be concerned about his welfare in difficult conditions, his environmental protection mission was "a different sort of danger. This was danger to himself personally, not just the boat." The vessel, called Seamaster, was in the mouth of the Amazon on Wednesday night near Macapa, a city 1,600 miles north of Sao Paulo, when three or four assailants approached in a rubber dinghy "commonly used by river rats that ply the Amazon river in search of victims," said state police chief Rosilene Martins de Sena. "Armed and hooded individuals came over the rail and had the crew at gunpoint," Sefton said Thursday in a telephone interview. "It would appear that Peter was down below and heard what was going on and came charging up" and was shot at least twice.

My comments at the time...

When the country you're visiting won't let you have the proper small arms to defend your boat, and won't guard it, what do you expect? This happened in a place where desperation is the normal mode of life, and danger is always a few seconds away. With a 117 foot boat, someone should be on watch fore and aft on mounted .50 Brownings, as well as plenty of M-1 Garands with AP, Stainless Mini 14's, Marine 8-round capacity shotguns, etc. But when you swallow the global warming religion...

"Greenpeace is campaigning against poor farmers and native people making a living from the land and feeding their families."

Those logging are clearing land to graze cattle on to grow beef. The soil and climate make such operations not work without constantly clearing jungle for land to replace that too eroded and nutrient depleted to do it any longer.

This is not liked because the rain forest is a sustainable source of material and resources that could create and maintain long term many more jobs than slash and burn cattle ranching ever could.

"Greenpeace is campaigning against human rights - the ability and right to provide basic needs like food, shelter, social equity - to sustain human life."

Au contraire, to pay back heavy international debt, beef production and other land killing activities are promoted. Greenpeace and other groups are going after the entire cycle of economic activities promoted by institutions such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.

One can argue their means to an end is ill thought out and self defeating. But consider if you will that the end might sought might actually be worthwhile and in everyone's best interest in the long term.

Hey, just because she's a cutie doesn't mean she's not one of those folks who drives railroad stakes into trees. While I don't know if she did this for certain I know greenpeace is always up to some malfeasance or other. Smart people are usually smart enough to know when the people around them are no good.
