As head of the draggers, to...Right on! Tholepin. <br /> <br />As head of the draggers, today, Bob Kreuger takes the candle with the cake as master propagandist of the day on KMXT, but if he plans on trying that on the official record at the NP Council, he'll have to consider that it is a federal crime to give such "false testimony". The person who presented those photos for the intent of them being used as part of public comment at the Council is also likely bound by the Magnuson-Stevens Fisheries Act as Reauthorized (2007 redline version) or PL109-479, 16 U.S.C. 1857 §307(i) PROHIBITED ACTS which states: <br />It is unlawful -- (1) for any person (I) to knowingly and willfully submit to a Council, the Secretary, or the Governor of a State false information (including, but not limited to, false information regarding the capacity and extent to which a United States fish processor, on an annual basis, will process a portion of the optimum yield of a fishery that will be harvested by fishing vessels of the United States) regarding any matter that the Council, Secretary, or Governor is considering in the course of carrying out this Act;<br /><br />So, for Kreuger to take the deflective propaganda approach is something that he ought to consider - especially if the tow was unrecorded in the log books. Is there an "aiding and abetting" charge if that propaganda is knowingly designed to cover up an actual NOAA violation by a vessel in his group, the Alaska Draggers?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
