Environmentalists Lie, and Their Puppet Exposed by Facebook Glitch
Now this is pretty funny. The oh-so-protected you can't mention her name in a negative sense on YouTube without being banned little puppet has been exposed as just that. Supposedly not scripted, supposedly sharing her own views, she's now shown to be just a tool, as sensible people already knew:
A recent bad code update on Facebook allowed
anyone to see which accounts posted Facebook Pages, including those of
celebrities and politicians. Among the pages exposed by the bug was
teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg, whose posts are often authored
by her father Svante Thunberg or Adarsh Prathap, an Indian climate
change activist.
Wired reports that
a recent bad code update on Facebook accidentally revealed the
administrators of multiple Facebook Pages including those of celebrities
and politicians. Facebook Pages allow celebrities, public figures, and
businesses to have a presence on the platform without being tied to a
single account and can be managed by multiple Facebook users. The Page
owners can opt to remain anonymous if they choose to do so.
The Facebook bug exposed that both Greta’s father and an Indian
climate activist named Adarsh Prathap have posted to Greta’s Facebook
account in place of the teenager posting herself.
As James Delingpole explained for Breitbart News:
Yes: this evidence that Greta the Climate Puppet is in
fact merely the tool of grown-ups with a political agenda probably won’t
come as a surprise to anyone. Greta Thunberg is, after all, the David
Hogg of environmentalism.
But the point needs emphasising, nonetheless. Greta has become the de
facto leader of the international green movement – taken so seriously
by the global elite that she has even been invited to the World Economic
Forum in Davos, Switzerland later this month to lecture world leaders
about climate change.
What’s pretty clear, though, is that without her controllers and a
prepared script Greta Thunberg can barely function. She is, remember, a
16-year old school drop out, with only a very rudimentary understanding –
based on the propaganda she has been fed by adults – of the issues
surrounding climate change.
Greta’s father, Svante Thunberg, has claimed
to not direct Geta’s meteoric rise as a teenage climate activist, but
his activity on her Facebook page sends a different message.
The bug that went live last Thursday and remained active until Friday
morning allowed anyone to see who was running any Page on Facebook.
Facebook quickly pushed a fix for the issue but not before people
discovered the users behind a number of popular Facebook pages. Facebook
commented on the issue in a statement saying: “We quickly fixed an
issue where someone could see who edited or published a post on behalf
of a Page when looking at its edit history. We are grateful to the
security researcher who alerted us to this issue.”
Some of the Page admins exposed include the official Facebook Pages
of the street artist Banksy, Russian president Vladimir Putin, former US
secretary of state Hillary Clinton, Canadian prime minister Justin
Trudeau, the hacker group Anonymous, and rapper Snoop Dogg. Facebook has
highlighted that no information beyond the Page Admins name and public
profile were available but the issue has now been resolved.
Lukasz Olejnik, an independent privacy adviser and research associate
at Oxford University’s Center for Technology and Global Affairs,
commented on the situation stating: “For sensitive Pages, I would not
rule out that some people may be feeling that they are in danger due to
what happened today. Using fake accounts to run Pages would have been a
good idea. Some could see it as a paranoid way of hiding, but it’s not.”
Olejnik added: “People who run sensitive Pages from their own
Facebook should now consider that their identity may be known. While
mistakes happen, this one is unexpected.”
Am I the only one laughing? "Unexpected", they say? Yeah, and no doubt deeply unsettling, since it's exposed their lies.
