Paul Watson, leader of the crazed eco-terrorists at Sea Shepherd, has written a poem implying the earthquake which recently killed thousands of Japanese was divine retribution for mistreating the oceans, whilst other crackpot greens have been rejoicing at the prospect of people from the same country as people who kill whales and dolphins dying.
Paul Watson’s contribution, by way of Facebook:
The underlying implication is rather obvious and is not lost on his followers.
His equally crazy coterie apparently see this as mother nature punishing the Japanese for their wickedness, or even as an opportunity to blackmail Japan into giving up whaling:
“It is a great tragedy and many innocent have been hurt by tremendous Tsunami,
but this Kama was not punishment or justice for an individual, it was a message to Japan as a Nation, not to overdo it with its poaching of the world’s oceans!!!!!”“maybe it is karma… Japan haven’t been the only ones to be on the receiving end! The captain is right… This poem is true! We all need to wake up and realise that we are just tiny beings out staying our welcome!”
“It’s getting better every time you will always get the fullest from me full support for you if Japen is poor affter this disaster they are not going have to bother the whales if theres going to be a valcano ready to go off”
“Capt. Watson: Japan will require and request aid. With aid, come conditions and compromise. This is the opportunity for aid giving countries to demand the end of Japanese Whaling in return for help. When asked by your local aid organizations to give help and money, demand the end of Japanese Whaling.”
Other environmentalists pitch in on Twitter, which is currently playing host to a revitalised campaign of anti-Japanese sentiment:
“It wasnt an earthquake, it was the dolphin uprising….”
“Another earthquake in Japan – when will karma hit Taiji? The pens will crack open at Dolphin Base and the captives will return to the ocean”
“I hope the earthquake/tsunami in Japan swallows up every dolphin fishing boat!!! That would be an answered prayer = happy safe dolphins!”
“did the earthquake destroy all those japanese dolphin killers? HMPH.”
“Is it messed up that I think the earthquake is what Japan gets for bombing us at Pearl Harbor? #Karma #PayBack #WhatGoesAroundComesAround”
“you took something from the ocean Japan, and now the ocean wants something back … No more Whale and dolphin Killing ..”
“Japan, a Whale Killing Nation, suffers the wrath of Mother Nature: Earthquake and Tsunami. #Karma”
“Japan this is #Karma for Pearl Harbor!”
“Can’t help but thinking maybe the Japanese Earthquake is Karma for the dolphin and whale killings :/”
“I’ve heard that there are some SS members in Otsuchi Iwate. Are they OK after the earthquake? #seashepherd #taiji #thecove #cove”
“Serves Japan right that’s the sea getting its own back for all the dolphin killing and shark killings they do!!!”
“didnt japan kill over +1,000 American soldiers on Dec 7, 1942… #karma”
“I don’t wanna be a bitch or anything, but after the dolphin & whale slaughtering & everything else Japan does, I don’t feel bad. #karma”
“Poor Japanese. Maybe they shouldn’t have invaded Korea and China in the 50’s. #karma”
“loolz…japan get FUCK UP!!….thats for all the shark fins and whales ya’ll been fucking up in the past. #karma”
“after watching the movie, #TheCove, its kinda hard to feel sorry for #japan sorry dolphin slaughterers”
“Japan attacks Pearl Harbor, mother nature attacks them. #karma”
“Natural disasters are terrible… but I am willing to bet the Whale Wars cast is cracking brews and chuckling right about now #Karma”
“Hello World don’t send any troops or help to #japan….ask them to sign or give up killing the whales and dolphin!!!this is the time!!!”
“I’m feeling remorse for the kids and animal lovers in Japan :( but do u think its karma 4 all those who eat dogs&cats and..”
“My mom is so cold. She said that she’s glad for Japan’s loss and said that it’s karma for all the things they’ve done to us Koreans, hahaha.”
“What did Japan expect? They kill dolphins. #karma”
Amongst the (presumed) minority of Americans willing to make such comments, the notion that the earthquake is karmic comeuppance for Pearl Harbor is an exceedingly common one.
China too has seen some hateful comments, although again the vast majority appear to express sympathy and admiration for Japan’s handling of the crisis, calling the negative remarks “shameful” and praising their orderly response as “moving” and “something China won’t be capable of even in 50 years.”
The most spiteful official response seen is undoubtedly that of North Korea, which coolly published news of the quake alongside an article condemning Japan as an imperialist oppressor and demanding compensation.

white people are so fucked up
Please don't make racist comments, there are assholes is every place in the world...
its generalizing ... sea sheperad is white and "fucked up" so i just add them both together... sides what do people expect with such a touchy subject like this
We expect people to not be complete assholes. Congrats, you failed. Start again.
I'm not racist, I hate all races equally.
I hate all people equally, regardless of race.
Here is a little joke that offends everyone.
What do you call a lot of white people running down a hill? A avalanche
What do you call a lot of black people running down a hill? A mudslide
What do you call a lot of Mexicans running down a hill? A jail break.
@Anon 14:06
What do you call a Bangladeshi priest?
Holy shit
It's called misantropy.
He's an econut the extreme kind and I find racist comments like Ivhina's every bit as distasteful as Watson's.
Such comments only prove you're an idiot.
it maybe distasteful and i'm going to edit it now ... but fuck ... arefact should of known not to make a post like this because it would only cause people to get angry
@Ivhina and you take the bait hook line and sinker and start shouting racial comments? Whose doing what wrong again?
He needs a post to divert the hate he was getting for his article on the Tepto nuclear plants, I mean sureere you can take all the precautions in the world but you simply cant fight a the mind blowing energy of an ocean coming at you.
And this is exactly what he wants.
you can say that again.
arent u the same ^ ^? *wink*
meow,... not reeely.
I'm jus waiting for the fat bastard to have a heart attack and we can be free of his existance.
Such idiotic hate droning is negative to the human condition.
It just makes them out to be total hypocrites.
so true so very true.
This is just outrage. People are dying and this?
He is American no? I shall write a poem for America one day when something happen to it for their "war crimes" over the last century.
Canadian.
I stand corrected.
canadian you dumbfuck.
Watson's Canadian? I apologize to Japan for this excuse for a human being.
Oh great not this fagget again hes the last one i wanted to see lol
Yeah, I hate that guy.
Oh...this is just wonderful, stupidity flying all over the place with this guy. At me say this much, USA is just as guilty as any other countries as well, so wouldn't that mean it should deserve divine retribution to that country as well, and it should happen at the same time or at least after the disaster in Japan. Hmm? Isn't that kind of scenario supposed to happen on the dot, if not, then something is wrong. Not with me but...okay scratch that...for all I know I try to make a scenario out of that crazy talk from those dumb people...
I know what I said is stupid, but come on. These guys are saying its divine retribution for what happened in the past. That's STUPID!. Ugh, that's it I'm getting away from these articles since we have stupid people running this planet, for those up for politics and plan on running the country someday, do me and everyone else who hates all this mess a good favor, get smart and don't end up like these idiots!
I hope 10,000 whales got stranded by this tsunami, and 50,000 dolphins get mortally hurt by drifting houses.
i hope that's sarcasm, otherwise you're no different than him.
the whales and dolphins didn't do anything wrong to deserve that because of a stupid redneck's comment.
Their love of sea creatures is about on the same level as PETA's love to the dogs they forcefully euthanized.
They people only love certain creatures. What about the poor lobster huh?? I know he's yummy but he's got a right to live too ya know.
And if they are going to make the argument that whales and dolphins are intelligent creatures then I want to see them protecting octopi (plural of octopus) as well, as it is just as smart, if not smarter
The moment I heard about the earthquake I knew these jackasses would bring up the dolphins.
Oh internet. It's so easy for you to be so spiteful
I bet none of those tough protectors of the oceans would tell that to a Japanese face to face... Or any self aware human being for that matter...
Ahh this really blinds me from the truth, religion itself is never idiotic it's the people who decide to follow it and take it over board. I mean really "divine intervention" and "Neptune"? The motherfucker! can't he just say he plainly hates Japan. And Divine Retribution ooh no that's what they've been saying to every major negative event for the last thousand years! T's always been God smites this God smites that so apparently the End of the World has happened more than several thousand times by now. It's like a little tremor or hurricane is felt and some delusional bible humper decides to shout "Armageddon!" they said the same shit about Katrina, War in the Middle East, and the Twin Towers. I am a fan of Anime,Manga and Games (clearly cause I come here and anyone who denies it is just seeking attention)and I've always dislike the Japs eating too much whale but for heaven's sake china still thinks Tiger Hearts can cure anything(the fools)!Not only that even Southern parts of Latin America are known for it's illegal Shark fin Distribution.People eat anything that moves.But Karma. . .gives me doubt that there IS no Intelligent life anywhere
What is religion if not the people who follow it? The people are stupid=the religion is stupid.
@Anon 14:35 You mean like a car is terrible because you suck at driving it?
Well there are a lot of stupid Atheists too so by your logic everyone is stupid.
If destruction of cities, land, and well being is divine retribution against those who harm the sea, then imagine the deserved retribution against those who mock the life lost in such a travesty.
I agree with 13:32 this is not to be mocked
While I agree, I will admit the first time I heard the Godzilla joke I laughed.
This reminds me of when some religious chief *cough*Rabbi_Ovadia_Yosef*cough* claimed Hurricane Katrina was their god punishing the USA.
shut up you nazi
A little search showed 14:46 is correct as can be seen here: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3138779,00.html
There are also Christians that said similar things about it being divine...though for other reasons.
I suspect it does not end with just Christians and Jews though.
This guy, and his organization, are sick, ignorant, and inhumane. Kind of ironic given their supposed purpose of saving the environment. I'm beginning to believe he's just leading a posse of anti-Japanese bigoted thugs.
I admit I'm surprised... I was expecting the Christian fundamentalists to step forward first with their message of divine retribution.
I will admit that at least he chose Neptune instead of Yahweh. At least he's a bit more understanding of the elements.
*sigh* Why is it that the good intentions are so often spearheaded by the assholes... no pun intended.
Um, no... Christians know what tectonic plates are. This guy is just crazy.
Didn't the Christians claim the earthquake in Haiti was because the Haitians sold their souls to the devil in order to break free from colonial rule?
And that Hurricane Katrina was said God whipping the sinners from New Orleans?
No that's the Fundamentalists or radicals religion and science can exist except the extremes like Scientology and Shite Fundamentalists
yep... there're a lot of idiotic religious fundamentalists out there... I hate to wish harm on others like they do on a consistant basis, but I really do think the world would be a better place without them.
Not sure why you were down-voted Anon, you're actually correct, some of the more fundamentalist Christian organizations did say exactly that. Not your fault, so who was fool enough to down-vote him for asking?
Okay, I'm gonna jump in here about the christian fundamentalist thing.
I am one. I and the rest of my congregation feel that bad things happen because they are meant to happen, but it doesn't make it any less horrific. And I can guarantee the devout in my group are praying for the safety of those who are missing and the nation as a whole.
my personal view on this is that I don't wish this on anyone. If I could get on a plane right now and go help dig them out of this tragedy I would. As it is I can only donate money right now to aid organizations in the hopes that the money will reach those who need it more than I.
The RADICAL fundamentalists or even the mainstream radicals are the troublemakers from any religion. The distinction should be made between radical and non-radicals. Obviously these ppl on FB didn't get the "SHUT UP!!" gene that Bill Engvall talked about.
"Didn't the Christians claim the earthquake in Haiti was because the Haitians sold their souls to the devil in order to break free from colonial rule?
And that Hurricane Katrina was said God whipping the sinners from New Orleans?"
Actually no... no one said that. The fuck is wrong with you? o_O
Just wait the Pat Robertson explanation...
If he is smart he won't say anything. But this is Pat Robertson, so give him time, he'll put his foot in his mouth soon enough.
yeah i would like to see them talking directly to the refugees.
Normally I would not give a damn about Sea Shepherd and their ilk, but this caught my attention...
What a disgusting individual...I've never felt so disgusted with someone for mixing a natural disaster with 'divine retribution and karma'...
I know he loves whales and dolphins and all, but he has to realize he is a HUMAN first and foremost...
All those people...Men, women, children who are not involved with your squabbling with the poachers or whatever the hell you call them, that died...
All those lives lost...
You...You sicken even a hentai guro fiend and outright anime pervert like me, sir...
Wishing death upon not only a group of poachers, but the WHOLE NATION of Japan itself is as evil as they come...
Him and those of his mindset do not realize the evil in their own self-righteousness and those he wishes harm upon...
Karma huh...Well, it bounces about like a basketball, and this fool will eat his words...
All those people who lost their lives in this tragedy...You don't give a sh*t as long as the whales and dolphins are safe...
No apologies, no nothing from a deluded fool and others of his ilk...
His passion and his self-righteous ignorance has blinded him for far too long...
Divine retribution...Karma...
It's going to be both if I hear that you got killed and eaten by the very whales you were trying to protect...
*laughs sardonically*
Werd homie werd!!!!!
you really really really need to take what the sankakutard editors say with a grain of salt. The capt of the sea sheppard did in fact did NOT say this was karma.
http://www.seashepherd.org/news-and-media/editorial-110314-1.html
Read the webpage, copy n' pasta
"The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, our directors, advisors, onshore volunteers, staff, and our ship crews and officers sincerely wish to express our deepest concern and sympathy for the people of Japan who are suffering through one of the worst natural disasters in the history of civilization.
Nature does not play favorites and just as the earthquake struck New Zealand recently, the fires ravaged Australia two years ago, and the tsunami struck India and Thailand not so very long ago, the message is clear - we all share the dangers of living on the water planet called earth.
In the face of such peril from the forces of nature, we are all equal.
I have heard many people say that Japan’s tragedy is karma. People who say such things do not understand the concept of karma. This earthquake struck Japan purely on the basis of geography and geology.
I experienced the California Northridge Earthquake of 1994 and the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980, and I have thus seen firsthand how terrible and awesomely devastating a force of nature can be.
What has happened in Japan is horrific and how we respond to it reveals the integrity of our hearts."
