A great post by Tom Dalpra - over at Fakeologist.com :
Tom Dalpra wrote: Greenpeace was born in Canada and founded on a lie. The nuclear lie in the late 1960s, the U.S. had plans for an underground nuclear weapon test in the tectonically unstable island of Amchitka in Alaska. Because of the 1964 Alaska earthquake, the plans raised some concerns of the test triggering earthquakes and causing a tsunami. A 1969 demonstration of 7,000 people blocked a major U.S.-Canadian border crossing in British Columbia, carrying signs reading “Don’t Make A Wave. It’s Your Fault If Our Fault Goes”. The test went ahead anyway then :

[From Wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenpeace ]
”Irving Stowe arranged a benefit concert (supported by Joan Baez) that took place on October 16, 1970 at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver. The concert created the financial basis for the first Greenpeace campaign.. Using the money raised with the concert, the Don’t Make a Wave Committee chartered a ship, the Phyllis Cormack owned and sailed by John Cormack. The ship was renamed Greenpeace for the protest after a term coined by activist Bill Darnell.In the fall of 1971 the ship sailed towards Amchitka and faced the U.S. Coast Guard ship Confidence which forced the activists to turn back. Because of this and the increasingly bad weather the crew decided to return to Canada only to find out that the news about their journey and reported support from the crew of the Confidence had generated sympathy for their protest. After this Greenpeace tried to navigate to the test site with other vessels, until the U.S. detonated the bomb.The nuclear test was criticized and the U.S. decided not to continue with their test plans at Amchitka.”

So there was always history with Greenpeace and ships and nuclear tests. It seems to me that Greenpeace have been among the biggest promoters of the nuclear myth on the planet. They’ve done a fantastic job. Oh the irony! Joan Baez, someone who would probably projectile-vomit at the idea of her music being used for Military Establishment propaganda, is clueless that it’s precisely what it’s being used for. Very successfully. I’m reminded of another Green – Greenham Common. Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp was a peace camp established to protest at nuclear weapons being sited at RAF Greenham Common in Berkshire, England. The camp began in September 1981 and remained in place until 2000.The camp received huge media attention in the UK and in the mid-eighties as the ‘Greenham women’ made Cruise Missiles ( that were kept at the base) their big issue. The presence of the Camp gave the media ample on-going opportunities to discuss these deadly nuclear missiles and the women acted as validation for it all. The media attention surrounding the camp “prompted the creation of other peace camps at more than a dozen sites in Britain and elsewhere in Europe.

Brilliant. The very people who appear to be the most ardent critics of nuclear weapons are in fact their biggest promoters! There were seven camps around the airbase. The fact that the Greenham camp was the one that gave us the name of the camp, was probably not a coincidence.It had green in it. How can that be wrong? Green is good! Regardless of the nuts and bolts of the sinking of The Rainbow Warrior (which looks beyond fishy) we can see that Green Peace sits happily and usefully on the left of the mainstream machine as one of the greatest promoters of nuclear weapons on the planet.

The above-linked comment section at Fakeologist also contain some fine posts by Xilefilex and Khammad.

I'd say Khammad's comment sums up the real reasons / motives behind the Rainbow Warrior 'incident' pretty well:
Khammad wrote: The French can’t have Greenpeace finding out that nukes are fake. They had no choice, the French had to sink the ship. In the wiki it says who the agents were. There was a trial and everything. Seems like the French still needed to keep peoples mind off that fake nuclear test that just happened.

“Hey you people, don’t look here, at this fake nuke test, look over there, at the trial and media circus. We are sorry but ya, we did it. Had to. Those boys were going to get themselves hurt. Come see how sad this is.”

– the French
