I have long thought that Greta is being used - saw it back in the 'how-dare-you' days. And I did feel pity for her. But at this point I'm with Mike Doherty. If we view her even in her 20's as having no ability to choose her information sources, or her path in life, we are denying that she has any moral agency.

And actually, I'm starting to wonder if she really has Asperger's syndrome. I have someone with AS in my family, and Greta's behavior contradicts what we are used to seeing.

People with Asperger's are not conformists as a rule. They refuse anything that doesn't seem consistent to them. They may be at a disadvantage in reading social cues, but they are very good at absorbing objective facts. I would say fact-finding and mentally cataloguing them is an obsession.

Knowing this, I was struck by Greta's un-Asperger behavior over the last few days.

When offered a sandwich by an IDF soldier, she reflexively smiled at him. Then when the photo of that went viral, she cried 'foul' and had a fit. Was it because it undermined her AS image? (My family member almost never smiles -- even when he's pleased and excited, he has no facial expression.)

While in Ashdod, she was shown the footage produced by her beloved liberation warriors, but she turned her head away and refused to watch. My AS relative would not have been able to resist seeing new information to add to his mental treasure chest.

AS people are also known to be blunt tell-all types, who can't gauge the social impact of what they say -- all they care about is "setting the record straight". But when Greta was interviewed in Paris, she chose to "not go into details" about her stay in Israel. That was possibly a calculated choice to hide information, because she foresaw that it would lead to awkward questions. And of course no one pressed her on it.

Which brings me to an interesting comment Douglas Murray made when talking about Greta's Gaza stunt to Sky News Australia today:

"I never was a fan of hers... She created a construct to make it impossible to oppose her.... You couldn't criticize her, or everyone said, 'Why are you beating up on the autistic girl-child?'..."

What if Greta herself is trying to manage our reality on her own terms? She's not as sophisticated as a psychopath would be, but social manipulators are legion on the earth.

Can’t possibly agree with you on

this one Francisco, Greta is pure

Evil-born that way.

And I am tremendous admirer of

your work,

Waiting keenly for Part 5 of your

Macheavelian Trump. This middle

eastern, multi trillion dollar weapons technology gifting, slobbering, glorifying

and green lighting of nuclear/ICBM ramping up Persian Psychopath

who have not Israel alone, who he’s

On board with destroying of his own

Design. Like as you make clear was every other U.S. President

But what you don’t sharply emphasize is this could never happen if Israel had true sovereign patriotic Jewish Warrior ready leadership. They could years ago have

taken out, Iran and all genocidal enemies: reshaped and dominated the

whole Middle East. Expanded Israel from Nile to the Euphrates

using whatever weapons needed (It was

Jewish Nuclear Physicists alone who

Invented both Atomic and Hydrogen

thermonuclear bombs. Not anyone

else. The Germans weren’t even close.).

Yes all this possibility for the Jewish

people of Israel and the world. But

for, and it has been a giant But.

The appalling, exile mentality psychosis of the Jewish mind-beaten, bowed

humiliated and wholly Fear driven.

The current spineless jellyfish, emperors

clothes, bloviating, posturing Nothingness himself, Netanyahu, and if

possible worse: the ludicrous, delusional

Suicidal surrendering, fools paradise

buffoons surrounding him. Are the

horrific embodiment of the most

catastrophic “leadership” Israel

Could have.

With the real thing in power, wouldn’t have mattered for sixty years what

Psycho U.S. Bosses and their

“presidents” wanted.
