John O'Sullivan has the story here.
In a landmark court ruling in New Zealand that will send tremors around the world, the once respected Greenpeace is stripped of its charity status.
High Court Judge, Justice Paul Heath made the groundbreaking decision today after overwhelming evidence was presented that proved that the organization's illegal activities were motivated by zealous political advocacy and crossed the line of what charities are permitted to do.
Arrogance often leads to over stepping one's boundaries and leads to destruction. It appears that Greenpeace is on the that path.
As a consequence of the shock New Zealand ruling Greenpeace’s political activities mean it will be de-registered as a charity and thus lose the prestige and tax advantages associated with that status.
Stay Tuned. Can a US lawsuit be just around the corner to strip them of their non-profit tax status?
