Make it go.

...When overtaken it was found to be at full throttle and on autopilot with no one in the wheelhouse
(...)
When questioned, passengers and crew affirmed alternately "we are all captains" and identified the captain as "Mr. Northstar," in reference to the Northstar autopilot unit. The captain has not yet identified him or herself
(...)
This single (to my knowledge unprecedented) set of deadly chicaneries, ending with the "secret captain" ruse, comprise – where to start? – a blanket violation of every written and unwritten Law of the Sea
(...)
Sadly, there's more...
The Tahrir is towed back to port. Many of the activists are arrested and released.
(...)
"There is no electricity on the boat, and the stench of diesel is strong in the cabin of the Tahrir."
He refers first to a serious "Gass," then "diesel leak from the impact of being brought into port."
(...)
And yet the primary concern of the activists is first to blame the coast guard for returning them to the safety of port (one lady from Denmark yells at the Greeks: "Israeli soldiers! We don't like you!") and then to make all haste to again defy coast guard orders in order to transit half the Mediterranean in a disabled, substandard deathtrap with a cowardly, homicidal "captain" (who will surely lose his licenses and endorsements for life once his identity is known).
(...)
The admitted actions of the activists of the Tahrir are already, in aggregate, so blatantly unsafe, so in violation of standard maritime practice and basic seamanship, so utterly unacceptable as to be almost unbelievable...

If these useful idiots insist on getting underway in a floating deathtrap like this, why stop them??
This appears to be a self-correcting problem....
Heh.
Indeed, with the Islamic world awash in petrodollars, one would think they could afford a better class of villain.
Of course, though, these are flunkies, and we all know what that flunkies are usually where the villain/supervillains trip up. Or, like the poor schmucks on Star Trek: TOS, who were usually Ensigns, and wore the red tunic.
Even the Arabs are laughing at these clowns.
A memorable episode.
“Make...it...go.”
Liberals like this seek death, both for themselves and others.
It’s part of their rebellion against G-d, and the reason they are liberals.
What makes you say the Arabs are laughing at them?
This was hilarious, if only all “flotilla” rub a dub dubbers can end so hilariously. Sorta reminds me of the Arks of the Covenant hitting the Philistines and they returned it with a stack of gold hemorrhoids!

GRRRR a rare triple post, GRRRRR
Just wait ‘til they try the secret pilot stunt on their own chartered jet for the fly-in campaign. It’ll be like Flight 93, only with the complete cooperation of all on board.

Thanks golux.
Brainless and penniless. These organizers probably had very little cash, so they hired the cheapest ships they could find. IIRC last time too, they were trying to bring in stuff like expired medications and the like, again pointing to lack of money. They load some old junked medicines which should have been incinerated and claim it is to help the Palestinians. It is all for show. Cheap ships, junk cargo, and a bunch of Jew haters all simply trying to break a legal blockade and get themselves and others into harms way.
All of this will become clear during Obama's second term.
Well done sir, well done.
Well me hearty buckos, there’s Cretans and then there are Cretins. At sea is the wrong place for them to meet.
