Sea Shepherd organization warns of Brisbane frauds

Two women who attempted to access the high profile TV contacts of a charitable organization under false pretences and in order to reach a goal of becoming reality TV stars have been exposed as frauds on the internet.

In a meme shared across the web more than 86,000 times, Paul Watson, the Founder and President of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society alerted partner organizations and citizen activists to the suspicious activities of 22-year-olds Rylee-Breen Maver and Ellen Howard, claiming the women had invented credentials and associations in order to better their chances at receiving a television show.

Watson said the women showcased an unhealthy desire for celebrity and had been masquerading as animal rights activists for several months.

Waston said he was informed by curious agents at outfits for MTV and Discovery Communications.

High profile members of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society stated the women had failed in a previous attempt to become celebrity socialites and had fallen back on a plan that saw them manipulate a brief role as volunteer protestors.

"They thought they could pull one over on everyone," posted one crew member. "We're a pretty close knit group and every single one of us, Sea Shepherd crew and supporters, have been disrespected by this experience. They should be ashamed of themselves."

Several crew members backed the alerts with evidence obtained through Google searches, including contradictions to the women's claims they were vegan and a seperate posting in which at least one of the women defended a friend's right to wear fur.

Watson said the women had "little to nothing" to do with the organization and denied being affiliated with them.

Australian based organizations Animals Australia, Coral Sea Rescue and the Australian Orangutan Project were the latest in a series of environmental groups to distance themselves from the women after their own experiences.

Watson asked those in association to be concerned and thanked his peers at several major networks for highlighting the issue.

"It's because of Sea Shepherd's watchful supporters that problem people like these are found out very quickly," he said.

Comment: Reefer madness in a final frenzy

As the Leveson Inquiry looks at media standards, we should investigate the lies written about cannabis in the British press.

By Peter Reynolds

In the mid 1930s, after the end of alcohol prohibition, Harry Anslinger, former assistant commissioner at the Bureau of Prohibition, was settling into his exciting new job as head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and working on his next campaign.

"This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with negroes, entertainers and any others," he wrote in one of Randolph Hearst's newspapers. Hearst was behind the organised campaign against cannabis hemp, then one of America's most successful crops, by timber, oil and paper interests. The strategy was to slur the plant with the racist term "marijuana", demonise it, outlaw it and wipe it out.

Come forward about 80 years to the present day. In the US there is the White House drugs czar Gil Kerlikowske and the head of the DEA, Michelle Leonhart. In Britain we have James Brokenshire, the Home Office minister. These people are faithful in style and message to their role model Anslinger. They use arguments and propaganda of exactly the same type and value but adjusted to politically correct 2011 terms. Their weapon is deceit and their strategy is intransigence. The prejudice, discrimination and media scaremongering continues. As Anslinger had Randolph Hearst's media empire, so Brokenshire has the Daily Mail.
.
The Mail came out all guns blazing last week in response to the Global Initiative on Drug Policy Reform and the ex-head of MI5, Baroness Manningham-Buller, calling for legal regulation. Despite the furious propaganda war it has waged against cannabis and cannabis users the issue won't go away. Why? Because millions of British citizens regularly use and enjoy cannabis with no ill effects and many find it of enormous therapeutic benefit for conditions such as chronic pain, MS and Crohn's disease. Also, because this war on cannabis is just another war on people. It is futile, expensive and causes far more harm than it prevents. It has created the modern phenomenon of rented property being destroyed, electricity being stolen with human trafficked gardeners and intensive production of high potency cannabis.
