In all, police say 20 protesters were in the water as the ship departed Everett on its way to Alaska at about 4 a.m., guarded by two Coast Guard vessels.
Coast Guard personnel brought the activists to shore and issued citations for violating the safety zone around the drill ship. All were later released.
The protesters oppose Shell’s plans to drill for undersea oil in the Arctic. Groups of people from Oregon, Washington and Alaska have been holding a vigil on the waterfront since last Wednesday.
Shell’s drill rig, the Polar Pioneer, left Seattle earlier this month. Two dozen protesters were cited when they tried to block that rig from leaving Seattle.
Starting next month, Shell proposes to drill up to four exploration wells over two years in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska’s coast.
Exposing the Big Game 
May Gaia bless these activists. This is what it has come to: Making criminals out of those who try to defend Mother Earth and her non-human lives. Those who rape the Earth and are killing her are protected by the Powers that be. And, where is Obama on this? Not that he ever really said anything substantial when he was running…..but people wanted to believe in the mantra of “Hope and Change.” None of these politicians (except a handful) will defend the Earth. Those few who try are not heard in the places of power.
In Zurich, activists are also demonstrating against the drilling in the Arctic.
Yep, and now with AETA and “Homeland Security” (sounds like something out of the Fatherland) things have gotten worse here than ever.
