Daddy, I want a Green New Deal, and I want it NOW!
Well, in this case, Daddy is George Soros. Young Greta has been in the hands of Soros' communist handlers for most of her 16 years. She was groomed for this role; her parents gave her to the care of these people when she was a young child.
All a Leftwing set piece, carefully pre-planned, with many moving parts. And with Antifa as shock troops in full support of homely litle Greta along with the usual cadre of Marxist tenured professors and their class pets (earning A's for turning out for Professor Lenin's favorite political causes). And with an adoring libmedia ready to report it all breathlessly as the rise of the voice of a New Generation and a new politics that will sweep the old order away. Yada-yada-yada.
Greta and Soros have been waiting a while, patiently doing the setup work for this little morality play at the U.N. This mouthy little mouthpiece (who looks like she should be playing banjo in a remake of Deliverance) has been groomed and coached for her starring role in this con job for at least 6-8 years.
