Stichting Marine Services takes on all aspects of operations, including hiring captains and crews, equipping the vessels and maintaining legal documents, she said. The company then leases the ships to Stichting Greenpeace Council, the governing body of Greenpeace International, at no charge, McPeake said.

So the governing body shares the same name, landlord, office space and legal team ...

If Stichting leases the boats and crews back at no cost, HOW are they funding operations?

Where does Watson get the funds for his exploits? In part, from an eclectic cadre of shadowy personalities.

That includes Susan Bloom, a long-time donor to the most extreme factions of the environmental and animal-rights movement. Bloom was the founder and main financier of the British Columbia animal-rights group Bear Watch, which employed David Barbarash, a former “spokesman” for the terrorist Animal Liberation Front (ALF). Paul Watson has hosted at least one Bear Watch fundraiser.

Ann Johnston gave SSCS almost $2.7 million in stock in 1997.
