Morning rush-hour traffic in Seattle yesterday was greeted with a a giant blimp 200 feet in the air inviting them to "Join The Flotilla" and take part in mass direct actions to stop Shell's planet destroying oil rigs bound for the arctic.
In addition to damning us with irreversible climate chaos, Arctic
drilling would inevitably lead to a ecological disaster. We the People of Puget Sound say "sHell No!" to the Port of Seattle granting Shell Oil use of our public lands and the traditional lands of the Duwamish as a staging ground for Ecotrocity.
Join the Flotilla, sign-up for trainings on Kayaks, water safety, and more!
Commissioner Bill Bryant laughed off the outrage of Seattleites. Bryant smugly made light of people acting out of moral clarity to disrupt Shell's audacious arctic drilling scheme with their bodies and their kayaks. Well, we take that as a challenge. This moment is an opportunity for people from across this region to unite against so-called "leaders" who act as if everything is up for sale.
A massive nonviolent presence on the water, fueled by both our love for this beautiful place AND our commitment to leaving future generations a livable, thriving planet could be strong enough to upset Shell's plans and help us all shift course. Similar to 1999, arrogance and foolishness is inadvertently mustering the will of "We the People," this time it's on the water as well, in the form of a people's fleet, and potentially a flotilla of unprecedented magnitude.

Together, we can do something historic on this Salish Sea. If you don't think a small thing can make a big difference, then you've never been stuck inside of a tent with a mosquito. This is your opportunity to become part of the Mosquito Fleet, a nonviolent, on water action force for good, "Swarming against global warming," as one of its founders John Sellers says.
Opportunity favors the prepared so that what we are going to do. The growing coalition is partnering with Alki Kayak Tours to provide this uprising with access to safety and skills trainings, as well as some creative tactics and opportunities to engage in on water actions. By sliding-scale donations, whether you can pay $5 or $50, we invite you to get on the water and Skill Up (Kayaks provided). Bring your own if you like. Instruction will be tailored to experience levels from beginning to advanced.
We will be adding multiple additional dates and training opportunities. Check out kayak trainings at www.shellno.org/

This unidentified real photo postcard caricature may have been made by pasting a cut out photographic head on a graphic of a fantasy flying machine. There is no visible line for the card. The instructions for using the card does say that the line can be retouched out but few of our examples show this being done.
US Navy Airship "Warlock 09" passed through this area, northbound. This blimp is based at NAS Patuxent River, MD. Notice the huge antenna on its dorsal surface.
This big guy was back and forth over Penns Landing in Philadelphia, PA, for hours on end while the Tall Ships Philly celebration was on. I love blimps, slowly plying their way with just the whoosh of the electric motors.

A rare conjunction of bus and balloon. The Goodyear blimp is poised over Edinburgh's Old Town. Lothian Region 112 provides an opportunity for more prosaic travel, on the tour departure stand on Waverley Bridge.
