You know THAT person that shows up, uninvited, to your house party – already high, needing all the attention, help themselves to your beer from your fridge, and then in tears by the end of night?
Members of the Ahousaht First Nation in British Columbia, Canada, just found out that perennial protester, Alexandra Morton, is THAT person.
Four members of the Canadian Aboriginal group located on Canada’s west coast were displeased with their elected government’s decision to relocate a salmon farm to a more suitable location. While the relocation process took several years of environmental data collection and hundreds of hours of consultation with the Ahousaht Nation and many local stakeholders, a few members felt communication was poor. While a true democracy can’t please everyone, everyone has a right to voice their opinion.
But instead of using grownup voices, the small group protested: as in physically got in the way of the relocation. But what they obviously didn’t realize is that when one just mentions the word “protest” in British Columbia during a warm and dry summer, a career activist feels they are entitled to join in. And when these party crashers arrive, they take over, make their own selfish demands, strip, and ask for money. Seriously, they strip … and it ain’t a good kind of strip.
“Like a frightened turtle”
Ahousaht member Jonny Nootka took to Facebook to air his frustration with the protestors’ antics: “This action is not or should not be about self-promotion, the self-proclaimed royalty of sacheen and the capitalization off of this action through “Ancestral Pride” that only wishes to hear and see herself on the “frontline”. It is disheartening.”
One of the half-dozen protestors was full-time activist Alexandra Morton, and this sparked our interest as we’ve actually profiled her shenanigans on this blog before, when she inserted herself as an “expert” into a mining controversy. She asked the public for money to help promote herself. But her complete lack of biological knowledge was quickly showcased, and she soon retreated back to her cabin in the woods.
This “expert” has a two year diploma from a small U.S. college. She says her credentials include “registered professional biologist” and “doctor”, but she is neither. She lies about that.
Ms. Morton’s maiden name is Hubbard. Sound familiar? Think Travolta and Cruise. Her mother is Barbara Marx-Hubbard: leader of a religious wacko cult that claims to be “in charge of God’s selection process for planet earth.” Crikey. Barbara asks for money too – we assume a healthy donation helps one get selected?
Like mother like daughter. Narcissistic and quite possibly nuts, and neither you want crashing your party.
Connecticut born Alexandra Morton claims to be a doctor, professional biologist, and Canadian First Nation.
