“Don’t stress over these MYSpace and Facebook so called supporters, they are not worth the trouble really, they mean nothing to Paul, if they only knew ...... they are not supporters, just a bunch of nobodies“
(looks like a magazine photo)
3 years ago I started my myspace page to connect and network with everyone and anyone who is a AR Activist/Advocate. This has been my passion since before I was born, when my mother lived with a friend, “Virginia”, in San Francisco who rescued animals. Virginia had at that time 200 cats and 30 dogs and 1 capuchin monkey rescued from a Lab. I was completely ecstatic to find such like minded/hearted people as friends here. Found organizations that I had supported here and there over the years and people I had heard about here and there. Paul Watson was one of those people. When I initially went to his page, he had that picture on his profile of him standing on that rock, full beard in the Antarctica. I was impressed at his continued work to save the Whales all these years. I started reading all his blogs and was also impressed that he was communicating with his readers on a down to earth, honest level. I made so many wonderful friends that shared the same passion as I do and we all spent every spare moment we had reposting and spreading awareness. There were some who created labor intensive beautiful bulletins. And those same people were attacked viciously shortly after Mia started dating Capt Watson.
This has presented a serious issue here. I have observed and paid attention to this only because 2 reasons, 1. The actions of this one person has caused a complete breakdown in this movement. 2. Good and wonderful people here on my space trying with all their heart and soul to make a difference in a very unjust cruel world. These people are loyal and hard working for the animals, whales and seals. They gave moral support and financial to Captain Watson in times when there was no Whale Wars Show. Whoever had the money would donate, even people living paycheck to paycheck (as myself) would shop the SSCS store as Christmas/Birthday Gifts. But if nothing else their spare time to further the cause any way they could. So, How on earth, could someone who is obviously not an animal rights advocate/activist or “Ocean Conservationist”, come into this movement and take control of someone who has been considered a “Leader “ in this realm? I have read almost every, if not all Blogs Captain Watson has written over the last 3 years. Everything that Ms. Manifold represents in society is exactly what Capt. Watson has declared he hated. Manifold is pretentious, narcissistic, shallow and cruel. It is clear to “EVERYONE”, except Capt Watson at this time, what Mia has been here for, to self promote and vilify. “I have washed my hands of the SSCS here who are truly a pathetic bunch” . She made this comment right before the date of November 1st came with her promise to marry Captain Watson, she changed her mind at the last minute for Stefano, (some ask, “is Stefano even real“?)

I remember seeing Mia around since about a yr ago. I never requested her as a friend because it was obvious to me why she was on myspace. I never saw her promoting anything but her own agenda of heavy flirting. Mia had made her rounds before settling on Capt Watson. If anyone remembers last year, before Peter Boyd had left myspace and his wonderful support of Sea Shepherd, he had written a blog to explain what Mia had done to him, and with a very educated explanation of her mental illness that makes her behave this way.
Still, you have to wonder if she has another agenda for being here on my space? Since she has caused SO MANY loyal, loyal supporters to be banished with a wave of her sword!! “Off WITH THEIR HEADS”, Mia, has accomplished destruction and dissention in this movement, which, by the way IS THE BUSINESS OF EVERYONE IN THIS AR MOVEMENT. THIS IS NO JOKE AND NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY, NOT ONLY BECAUSE, CAPTAIN WATSON IS HELD TO A HIGHER STANDARD OF ETHICAL BEHAVIOR AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ANIMAL RIGHTS MOVEMENT!!!!BUT I WILL NOT SEE ALL THE HARD WORK EVERYONE HAS DONE TO BRING ABOUT THIS AWARENESS AND BRING THESE HORRORS THAT ALL THE ANIMALS/MAMMALS ARE SUFFERING!! WE ARE ALL CONNECTED HERE, AND I WILL NOT SEE THIS MOVEMENT GO BACKWARDS! ALSO I AND MANY OTHERS ARE VERY CONFUSED WHY AND HOW THIS IS TAKING PLACE? Why does anyone that can come out of nowhere and cause this much trouble has to be considered as a suspect of espionage. Example:
“Here’s the problem: it’s well-known that there are industry-paid plants within the movement that exist solely to discredit activists and further marginalize animal rights. For those of us who refuse to be passive, quiet and tolerant, our passion is a threat. Yet, our passion also provides the mechanism by which a calculating agent provocateur can manipulate any one of us. We all have a “sixth sense”… something that tells us something is not right… and to dismiss this survival instinct is sheer foolishness.”
I want to share a few characteristics of which we all need to be aware. I’ve always dismissed idiocy but now I recognize that there are behaviors that, while individually may be taken in jest, when viewed as a whole create an extremely troublesome pattern. These are serious issues and we never know exactly with whom we’re dealing:
“There’s no question that state oppression seeks to crush the animal rights movement. And our own safety is paramount if we are to be effective activists. When we are advised to do things that jeopardize us, STOP. Something is wrong.
RED FLAG. No one who has our best interest or that of the movement at heart would not say anything that would jeopardize us in the eyes of the enemy.
Divide and Conquer: When one tries to deliberately create obstacles between friends and/or allies, we need to STOP and examine what is going on.
When someone creates a situation and then makes impotent attempts to convince us that someone else is to blame, this is a red flag. When someone degrades our friends, thus trying to divide alliances, this is a problem. .
In a broader sense, when different factions in the movement are in conflict and debate, the agent provocateur may step forward to foster unproductive drama and incite chaos. Although the method might appear to be madness, I believe it is an injection of calculated chaos.”
DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
Makes one think, eh?
How is it possible that someone who has virtually no history as a activist and as vicious as Mia is actually in a position of power? It makes no sense, she taunts the AR people here with her different perspective of life as a Cattle Farmer Bareness..Mia having dinner, jasmine garlic prawns, oysters kilpatrick, Indian basmati creamy rice, mango puree and of course iceceam and cream :) and curried beef satay:))))Posted 9 hours ago

But if that is not the case, Mia is just that nasty of a person. Let’s look at this with objectivity here for a moment. The people here on my space as AR activists care about someone other than themselves. They give up whatever resources they have for someone else, yet all Mia does is hang out with cows that are going to slaughter, publicly declare her meat eating habits, go to the spa, be a ski bunny, flirt and consort with many men online for all to see and relish in her Big Fish in a Small Pond syndrome.
AND AS FOR THE ISSUE OF PEOPLE HERE NEEDING TO MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS OF HER RELATIONSHIP WITH CAPTAIN WATSON, THEN KEEP IT PRIVATE, YOU BOTH FLAUNTED IT IN EVERYONES FACE LIKE A HORMONE DRIVEN SCHOOL GIRL, IT WAS/IS TO HURL OVER.
This was something that Mia must have insisted on, to make the relationship public, since no one remembers him doing that with any of his other relationships. But on point again, and the reason I care about any of this is the damage this has caused the Animal Rights Movement, by discrediting a Great Leader, causing him (you) to delete thousands of his loyal supporters. Captain Watson went from 10,000 supporters having him on their Top 40, and is now down to 55. This does not make sense. These actions caused dissention between friends and discredited our whole movement with any respect from outsiders, including the Japanese Whaler’s. You don’t think they have watched all this ridicules behavior? This is unacceptable. We need to stay the course and focused and strong together to stop the horrors that take place of torturing, murdering, and slaughtering. This stupid game has put us back 10 steps when we only move one at a time. I don’t know how or why you have done this Mia, but you need to leave now, and stay on your Mountain top, protected in your own little world. Say “Hi” to your Daddy for me.
FOOTNOTE: BTW, I realize this freedom of speech session here will banish me from some of my friends and Paul Watson, and I am very sad to know this, but I am here for the underdog, humans and animals alike, and won’t be the 1st time I have experienced a negative reaction from sharing my opinion. I will go as Far as I need to, to save the Animals and the credibility and sustainability of this movement for them.

this is very weird. thank for the post. i have questioned Mia aswell, but never dared to make any comments about it.
ReplyDeleteI personally don’t get what all the fuss is about. Watson has said and done much worse himself, before and since. To me, this is/was just internet drama that fans amused themselves with between seasons of Whale Wars.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you ask me, looking at how little Watson has accomplished with so much money and the negative consequences of his actions, I’d say Watson himself is a much bigger thorn in the side of the conservation movement than “Mia Manifold” could ever be.
