It would appear were not the only ones who see Greenpeaces true colors: a politically motivated organization operating under the guise of charity and environmentalism. Well, not anymore at least not in New Zealand.

In a monumental decision earlier this month, New Zealands High Court Judge Justice Paul Heath denied Greenpeaces final attempt at regaining charity status. The environmental campaigning machine was deregistered as a charity last year for its overtly political role. As one article puts it, the decision came after overwhelming evidence was presented that proved that the organization’sillegal activities were motivated by zealous political advocacy andcrossed the line of what charities are permitted to do.

Not only does the former charity lose its tax benefits in New Zealand, but now, skeptics and lawyers around the world will be determining whether the same disgrace awaits the group elsewhere.
