Facebook Glitch Reveals Father, Activist Behind Greta Thunberg’s Facebook Page. Greta Responds.
Dialy Wire ^ | 01/13/2020 | By Amanda Prestigiacomo

On Thursday, a Facebook glitch revealed who’s posting on climate change alarmist Greta Thunberg’s Facebook page: her father Svantes Thunberg and “Climate Crisis activist” Adarsh Prathap.

“[A] bug that was live from Thursday evening until Friday morning allowed anyone to easily reveal the accounts running a Page, essentially doxing anyone who posted to one,” Wired reported Friday.

“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,” Facebook responded to the controversy in a statement. “We are grateful to the security researcher who alerted us to this issue.”

“Still, despite the Friday morning fix,” Wired explained, “screenshots circulated on 4chan, Imgur, and social media appearing to show the accounts behind the official Facebook Pages of the pseudonymous artist Banksy, Russian president Vladimir Putin, former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, the hacking collective Anonymous, climate activist Greta Thunberg, and rapper Snoop Dogg, among others.”

Screenshot circulating online show Svantes and Prathap behind the teen climate activist’s Facebook page.

Seemingly confirming the screenshots, Thunberg addressed the issue on Saturday.

“Some people have been asking who manages this page. First of all, since last spring I only use Facebook to repost what I write on my Twitter and Instagram accounts,” wrote the teen.

“Since I have chosen not to be on Facebook personally ( I tried early on but decided it wasn’t for me) I use my father Svantes account to repost content, because you need an account to moderate a Facebook page,” explained Thunberg.

Prathap, Thunberg explained, founded the official Greta Thunberg Facebook page “long before” she knew it existed. Since folks already thought it was her real page, she said, she decided to co-manage the page.

“The rest that is shared on Facebook is reposted from Twitter and Instagram by the guy who founded the Greta Thunberg Facebook page long before I knew it existed,” wrote Thunberg. “His name is Adarsh Prathap and he lives in India. Since a lot of people thought it was my official page in the beginning I asked if I could co-manage it and he said yes.”

“All texts posted on my Facebook page has of course been written by me, just like everything else,” claimed Thunberg.

“Thank you for clarifying, Greta,” responded Prathap. “It’s my pleasure to help you out as much I can.”

“And a word to people who are running behind Greta and now me to attack on twitter and facebook,” he added, “Let’s talk about climate breakdown and solutions. Let’s support each other to overcome this crisis together!”

Earlier this month, Svantes revealed that he initially thought his daughter’s far-left “activism was a ‘bad idea’ and that he and his wife were ‘not’ supportive of it,” The Daily Wire reported.

“She decided to do this. We said quite clearly that we would not support it,” Svante told the media. “Well, obviously we thought it was a bad idea, putting yourself out there with all the hate on social media and the idea of your own daughter sort of putting herself on the very front line of such a huge question like climate change.”

Dont be fooled by her attack on the patriarchy. This girl and her male feminist handlers are women haters. Who else consumes by changing fashion clothing style every month but women? Men are only working their arse off to build the factories.

The agenda is targetting and guilting women in underhanded way, but being sold as something to blame men for.

Also ironic that guy from India is pushing the agenda out west...

Self hating child. Who else consumes fashion and its monthly variations but her crowd of feminine followers?
This is so ridiculous.

Nobel prize is much like the Rhodes Scholarship (and many other left wing awards). Only Rhodes is arguably more blatant in several respects from the “get go”.

Unless a mistake is made by a “wigged out” or drunk committee, it’s purpose and dissemination is only to those individuals who could potentially advance hard left humanistic and totalitarian objectives within a nation, or globally.

As with Rhodes himself, the scholarships purpose was to advance some portion of the goal of global marxist communism and governance. It has a history of being cloked and advanced through those students excelling in “anthropological related” fields and departments. These also often include “language studies”.

Does not matter if it’s from Arizona State University, or University of Arkansas (Clinton).

These types of awards always are held up (as god’s), by an ignorant society, high schools, colleges, mass media, politicians, corporations, and entertainment.

What these awards are today in most cases, and the naivety of society holding these awards up to children, teens, and young adults, as something to strive for is sickening.

So we’re supposed to believe that she’s competent to create content for Twitter and Instagram, yet too busy to copy and paste it to Facebook.

Uh huh.

Of course it wasn’t Greta, allegedly with Asperger’s. There have been sarcastic posts, and Asperger’s patients don’t understand subtle sarcasm, much less create sarcastic ideas.

Other examples would be gun control and tobacco control advocates who use their kids as props to “write letters” (or claim to be the author).

Usually just a little younger than Greta.

Autism is not a mental handicap. It’s a social skills disorder. Her IQ isn’t lowered by autism.

She is far from non-verbal, which is one of the usual signs of the syndrome, so she isn’t exactly a poster girl for having it.

The suicide rate for autism spectrum disorder is 0.17 percent compared to 0.11 percent for the general population. That isn’t a big difference.

For a detailed expose, see...

GRETA, INC

Very well researched that reaches back to her mom's involvement...with extensive source citations. Lengthy, but then real research usually is.

No. True, Asperger's is a high-functioning form of autism. But..people with that Syndrome are verbal. Because they lack the social cue discernment skill, they come off as cold and distant. In part, beause of that deficiency, they can get angry because they misinterpret the cues or don't even see them. She's angry because she sees people ignoring her or laughing at her and she doesn't understand why (in her mind) we want the world to die.

We'd need to calculate a confidence interval with population correction to see if the 6bp difference isn't significant.
