How Dare They!

Sixteen year old Greta Thunberg has recently been named Time Magazine's person of the year. Greta is a climate change activist who has been a subject of hundreds of memes making fun of her "HOW DARE YOU!" speak at the United Nations as well as for the mural of her recently painted on the side of a San Francisco building which (unintentionally) bears an eerie resemblance to Vladimir Putin. Now how you may wonder does such a young girl from Sweden whom no one knew about a year or two ago get named Time's person of the year?

The simple explanation is as follows. We are living in a time where the main stream media now acts as a propaganda tool for a small but rich and powerful group of people who have a globalist world view and an organized agenda and timeline to achieve that. Part of their agenda involves climate alarmism, which is the claim that the world is being threatened by carbon emissions produced by man which will result in a very short time with the world heating up and ending life as we know it.

The solution presented to avoid the catastrophe they predict has very little to do with creating a cleaner environment and having purer air to breath. The climate scare at its most basic is actually a means to achieve one of the main goals of globalism, which is income redistribution. I've written a number of posts examining man made global warming and am not going to make any of my counter arguments here. My purpose here is to look at how Greta became famous.

At the beginning of this year a group of about 250 leftest/progressive media organizations met at Columbia School of Journalism to discuss what they as news and opinion outlets could do to advance this climate alarmism. Someone suggested Greta, a young girl with Aspergers who had, being convinced that the planet was indeed dying, dropped out of school to be an activist on climate change. Greta soon became funded, hyped and suddenly all sorts of doors were opened for her.

She (like a lot of passionate 16 year old girls) was invited to speak to the United Nations (which funds the main group which comes up with all the alarming computer climate models) and to get there she (bravely) boards a low carbon fingerprint yacht (her crew of 2 take a jet liner home once the boat arrives in NY and another crew of 2 fly there in order to sail the vessel back to Europe). By a strange coincidence when she is there the public schools in NY declare a climate skip school and protest day. Greta then goes on the rest of her trip in the US (also organized, planned and funded by her Soros funded NGO) and becomes so gosh darn famous and important that Time magazine just has to choose her as their iconic Person of the Year.

Or - in a space of a year the MSM chooses someone to be famous, organizes events, gets the funding and hypes the adoring heck about a 16 year old girl and then awards her for all the hype they bestowed upon her. This would be a THE case study in the creation of fake news (if there were not so many other obvious examples going on at the same time).

So let me admit here a couple of things. Although I've read some online pieces about Greta I did not read the Time article. Thirty years ago I subscribed to Time until it became so overly liberal that I switched to Newsweek. For awhile they were a lot more balanced but after a few years they too in my opinion went over the edge. A couple of years ago I saw Time in a waiting room at a tire dealer. It was now a thin little rag devoted to some liberal cause, a minor blip that still has an annual person of the year cover which now lacks any relevance.

I also did not realize until recently that Greta had a form of Autism known as Aspergers. People that have this can be very intelligent and very high functioning. They tend to put a laser focus on things that interest them, are prone to depression (and suicide) and understand most things as black and white issues without seeing the shades of gray. It would be easy to understand then how Greta could read all of the blah blah being pushed her way, decide that the world was indeed coming to an end and that she had to do something about it.

The downside here, and this makes me really mad, is that it is now obvious that the United Nations "HOW DARE YOU!" speech was a reflection both in her voice and in her facial features of her Aspergers. It also explains the video of her at a UN panel discussion where she seemed lost, confused and inarticulate. Instead of a hero I actually see her as a poor girl being exploited for political gain by adults with an agenda who are using her age and Autism as a hammer to silence any critics or objections to what they (through Greta) are presenting.

The funny thing about the moral outrage directed to any who criticize Greta is that those people are blind to how easily they are being morally manipulated by forces that are totally devoid of morals. The main stream media has become a tool of those forces as are platforms like Twitter and the rest to advance an agenda while at the same time presenting it as a moral argument. And when your have morals not etched in stone, inscribed on your heart and based on the Word of God and are instead swimming in the ever changing tides of modern society one can easily be manipulated.

Facts matter, but you can't argue facts with people who make emotional arguments and are offended by anyone even attempting to disagree with their worldview built on shifting sand. I can still love them just like I will love Greta and pray that she will experience the deep love of God and the peace that passes understanding. At the same time I will pray that all those who are abusing her will be exposed and justly dealt with.

Falling Into The Pit

You would think that the opposition would at least be logical in how they appraise a situation or in what they are trying to do. Instead there has been insanity from the Left and from the Main Stream Media for the entirety of last three years. They have consistently lied, presented everything Trump has done in a negative light, twisted and then persisted in their hate for the President. And then to top it off they accuse him of doing everything they are doing or have actually done themselves.

Each time the truth comes out they react by doubling down on their lies and then lashing out at whoever is looking into their dirty deeds. Gathering from the Horowitz hearings which I watched Tuesday it is obvious that their next step will be an attempt to discredit Attorney General Barr and the Durham Report which will be even more devastating than the Horowitz Report. By the way, at the hearings today not one single Democrat asked any questions about any of the serious and illegal abuses associated with the FBI investigation. It was all spin, spin, spin.

The Russia investigation was first predicated when an undercover CIA agent set up a young Trump staffer by passing along a rumor that the Russians had the missing Clinton emails. When the staffer mentioned this to an Australian diplomat (who worked for the CIA and is now missing) in a bar overseas the CIA had inserted their first hook. They then passed that hook off to the FBI. (This is not mentioned in the Horowitz Report but it will come out in the Durham Report), The FBI then used the Steele Dossier (a totally false report created by Fusion GPS and paid for by the Clinton campaign) as the second hook. Interestingly the wife of FBI agent Bruce Orr who would be involved in the investigation worked for Fusion GPS.

The third hook was a report that the FBI or CIA leaked to a media outlet disinformation that was mentioned in the Steele Dossier, making it look as though there was independent confirmation of its contents. In order to begin a secret investigation on the Trump campaign the FBI needed to use the FISA courts. In order to get FISA court approval they used those 3 pieces of information to justify it, even though it became clear to certain agents in the FBI very early on that the Steele information was bogus.

A sad side note to this is that Robert Mueller (or his team) should have been aware of this by at least the second month of his investigation. Since there was never any "there" there the investigation should have ended then instead of going on for two more years. It was not ended because the FBI's Andrew Wiseman, who was actually running the case and who hired the 12 lawyers (all Democrats) for figurehead Mueller, had an obvious anti-Trump agenda.

So here we are. Impeachment without a crime. If you actually think so you need a lesson in history, government, common sense and really have to stop watching outlets who employ guys like ex CIA and FBI guys Brennan, Clapper and McCabe, who are all up to their necks dirty in this affair. The real crimes re the Ukraine were efforts by the Obama administration and the DNC, which influenced Ukraine to make anti-Trump statements during the 2016 election, and by Adam Shift and his staff who, in partnership with people in the CIA, set up the whole whistle blower episode.  But just so no one gets too surprised, be aware that the hammer will be coming down, the truth will come out and people will be going to jail.

I want to paraphrase a few verses from Psalm 7 for you. I personally believe that God is letting the craziness continue in order to display what are the true plans and motivations of many on the Left in order to expose what is really a clear and present danger to our country.

They conceive mischief and bring forth falsehood. They have dug a pit and hollowed it out, and have fallen into the hole which they themselves have made. Their mischief will return upon their own head.
