One crisp winter morning in Sweden, a cute little girl named Greta woke up to a perfect world, one where there were no petroleum products ruining the earth. She tossed aside her cotton sheet and wool blanket and stepped out onto a dirt floor covered with willow bark that had been pulverized with rocks.

“What’s this?” she asked.

“Pulverized willow bark,” replied her fairy godmother.

“What happened to the carpet?” she asked.

“The carpet was nylon, which is made from butadiene and hydrogen cyanide, both made from petroleum,” came the response.

Greta smiled, acknowledging that adjustments are necessary to save the planet, and moved to the sink to brush her teeth where instead of a toothbrush, she found a willow, mangled on one end to expose wood fibre bristles.

“Your old toothbrush?” noted her godmother, “Also nylon.”

“Where’s the water?” asked Greta.

“Down the road in the canal,” replied her godmother, ‘Just make sure you avoid water with cholera in it”

“Why’s there no running water?” Greta asked, becoming a little peevish.

“Well,” said her godmother, who happened to teach engineering at MIT, “Where do we begin?” There followed a long monologue about how sink valves need elastomer seats and how copper pipes contain copper, which has to be mined and how it’s impossible to make all-electric earth-moving equipment with no gear lubrication or tires and how ore has to be smelted to a make metal, and that’s tough to do with only electricity as a source of heat, and even if you use only electricity, the wires need insulation, which is petroleum-based, and though most of Sweden’s energy is produced in an environmentally friendly way because of hydro and nuclear, if you do a mass and energy balance around the whole system, you still need lots of petroleum products like lubricants and nylon and rubber for tires and asphalt for filling potholes and wax and iPhone plastic and elastic to hold your underwear up while operating a copper smelting furnace and . . .

“What’s for breakfast?” interjected Greta, whose head was hurting.

"Fresh, range-fed chicken eggs,” replied her godmother. “Raw.”

“How so, raw?” inquired Greta.

“Well, . . .” And once again, Greta was told about the need for petroleum products like transformer oil and scores of petroleum products essential for producing metals for frying pans and in the end was educated about how you can’t have a petroleum-free world and then cook eggs. Unless you rip your front fence up and start a fire and carefully cook your egg in an orange peel like you do in Boy Scouts. Not that you can find oranges in Sweden anymore.

“But I want poached eggs like my Aunt Tilda makes,” lamented Greta.

“Tilda died this morning,” the godmother explained. “Bacterial pneumonia.”

“What?!” interjected Greta. “No one dies of bacterial pneumonia! We have penicillin.”

“Not anymore,” explained godmother “The production of penicillin requires chemical extraction using isobutyl acetate, which, if you know your organic chemistry, is petroleum-based. Lots of people are dying, which is problematic because there’s not any easy way of disposing of the bodies since backhoes need hydraulic oil and crematoriums can’t really burn many bodies using as fuel Swedish fences and furniture, which are rapidly disappearing - being used on the black market for roasting eggs and staying warm.”

This represents only a fraction of Greta’s day, a day without microphones to exclaim into and a day without much food, and a day without carbon-fibre boats to sail in, but a day that will save the planet. Tune in tomorrow when Greta needs a root canal and learns how Novocain is synthesized.

that is awesome! Thanks! Please, record your story with your phone and send it to me. I will publish it right away... Or should I make a first video? That could be fun. Tell me what you prefer...

And the godmother, provided there was enough time to demonstrate, would most necessarily have told Greta that her electric car used more carbon based energy to produce than any gasoline powered car ever has and it is also shorter lived than gas cars, causing more junkyards and landfills to fill up more quickly but with nowhere to dispose of the lithium ion batteries (made with petroleum products and strip mined by child labor) Greta turned her gaze to the ground and slowly walked away, back to her bed, climbed in and pulled her cotton sheets over her head.

If she is a nazi, and she shows all signs of it, then it's not likely she would worry over child labor. Nor over the environment more than it takes to control humanity. Hitler was an eco-fascist, but also developed the first nuclear bombs and according to Russia, used them in the Crimea, which allied to Hitler in the Ruso-German war. Lil Greta is in it as a stooge for greater powers and, I have little doubt her sheets are made of silk.

Thank you but I just expanded a little on red's story. A whole library could be written on how this entirely fake "green energy" movement simply cannot be accomplished as they are attempting to do. This entire world and its technology has been built upon oil and petroleum for the last 125 years, even the economic system and EVERYTHING comes from it, that is, anything that makes MONEY for the deep state and that includes their poisonous pharmaceuticals. That's why when they get together to discuss their plans on reducing carbon in the atmosphere, they all fly their own private jets to the conference! (which they purchased with the riches they gained in one way or another from participation in the petroleum industry!) You see, it's not for THEM to reduce their carbon footprint, it's only for the peasants like us!

Yes, Ukraine is a nazi state, but from the way things look so it Russia. China definitely is.

Meanwhile, better start to pray for that other nazi state, California. God's not done laughing at them.

Speaking of "bots interacting with bots," the new South Park episode about boys using ChatGPT to text their girlfriends was entertaining. The show may not be available outside the U.S. https://youtu.be/G2SuBGH8ilQ

Speaking of fake social media, I had a very strange occurrence happen to me yesterday when I wanted to view something on Facebook. I joined FB when it first came out (2008?) and quickly saw what it was so I never went back. Google Chrome kept my username and password so I tried to log on. It said my password was wrong and took me to a page to enter my username and new password. I proceeded to do so and up came a window that said something like " you have been restricted for entering information too fast. You have been shut out" or something to that effect. WTH? Has anyone else ever encountered such a thing on FB? I'm not distraught about not being able to log on, just wanted to see the video clip someone sent me. They can keep their social media, it's all trash, every bit of it. By the way, if they could fake Trump's arrest so convincingly, (they took 6 or 7 inches off his waistline in the pic of him running away though) what stops them from faking ANYTHING with our own picture??? They could make us, all of us if they chose, to be murderers, rapists or pedophiles! I'm so glad my identity is protected by my Creator. Very nutty age we live in!
