RIO DE JANEIRO, July 23 – Atlantic Sharpnose sharks swimming in the waters off Rio de Janeiro tested positive for cocaine, as well as benzoylecgonine, the major metabolite of cocaine.

The consumption of cocaine in Brazil, particularly in the megalopolis of Rio de Janeiro, mirrors that of the world – it’s sky high!

In 2023, the UN Global Report revealed that cocaine production, purity and trade jumped to an all-time yearly high, 2,300 metric tons.

Brazil is the biggest consumer of shark meat, a booming $2bn annual legal/illegal trade. Brazilians could be eating cocaine, mouthful by mouthful – godawful chemical compounds.

NUUK, Greenland, July 21 – The former co-founder of marine conservation Greenpeace, founder of Sea Shepherd and the Captain Paul Watson Foundation, Captain Paul F. Watson, was arrested upon arrival in Nuuk, Greenland.

Watson’s flagship, M/Y John Paul Dejoria, with 25 volunteer crew, docked for fuel en route to the Northwest Passage to intercept Japan’s new whale-killing slaughterhouse, Kangei Maru, in the North Pacific.

“We were here, and arrested Paul, due to an international arrest order from Japan,” stated the leader of the Danish federal police boarding party at the site of the arrest. The crew were given no further notice.

The arrest is linked to a former Interpol Red Notice for Watson’s previous anti-whaling interventions in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary, Antarctica. Japan’s phony Antarctic research whaling programme was forbidden in 2014 by a ruling of The International Court of Justice (ICJ).

In the darkest icy abyss, the largest predators, Sperm whales, hunt the biggest prey, Colossal squids. The battles are legendary. The winners take all. Welcome to the Sperm’s Kingdom.

The Monarchs of The Deep, male Sperm whales, rule the oceans with brawn and brains, 6X larger than humans. Gigantic head cavities filled with 1900 litres of spermaceti, a pearly white buoyant wax, facilitate the world’s deepest divers. Does the spermaceti prevent the skulls of these 50-ton Highnesses from being crushed, 3km beneath the surface? Undivulged.

During the seventeenth to twentieth centuries, bloodthirsty whalers relentlessly massacred Sperms for spermaceti that became candles, light, energy, cosmetics, textiles and more. Hundreds of thousands of our brothers and sisters, Sperms, were brutally murdered.
