Mission accomplished. Beastly Boy Monday #6
It was halted by the Fuckers. That is why food and aid did not get through. Exp Monday #11
It was never intended to get through. The whole enterprise was meant to be "symbolic" from the beginning Beastly Boy Monday #15
It wasn't a freighter! Still had rice and formula aboard. So why stop the boat then? Exp Monday #18
According to the organizers, it was a a publicity stunt, not a bona fide delivery of aid. Beastly Boy Monday #23
