Rich, privileged (white) eco-fanatic says her group is thinking about “how to ” blow up huge African oil pipeline!
Most of Europe’s climate activists come from rich families, who lavish in all the amenities the fossil fuel economy offers. No exception to this are Sweden’s Greta Thunberg, and Luisa “Longhaul” Neubauer of Germany.
Hat-tip: Junge Freiheit.
Not only are they spoiled rich, leading pampered lives, but they’re also becoming dangerously fanatic it appears and even feel entitled to tell poor countries what they can and cannot have.
Recently Longhaul Luisa, spokesperson for Fridays for Future Germany, posted Sunday on Instagram with her Fridays for Future mates joking how right now they are planning on how to blow up” an African oil pipeline that will immensely improve the lives of among the world’s most needy.
“Of course we are thinking about how to blow up” the longest crude oil pipeline in the world, she professed on Instagram on Sunday.
Much needed Uganda-Tanzania pipeline
In the posted video, Neubauer is referring to the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP). The EACOP is currently under construction and, once completed, will transport crude oil from Uganda to Tanzania. It will be around 1,400 kilometers long and deliver around 216,000 barrels of oil per day.
White activists kicking Africans in the face?
We assume that Luisa and her crazed FFF radical group would be content to see poor Africans be denied even just a tiny fraction of the pampered life she herself is privileged to follow. She tells of the pipeline in the video: We’re going to stop that one.”

Keep the peasants in their mud huts?
Mud huts? How ’bout dung huts. At any rate, provincialism at its finest.
Dung is too valuable as fuel and fertiliser. Mud it is.
Maasai Huts
Dung mixed with mud. Mud alone lacks the fibers to hold it all together (straw is too valuable as livestock feed and is used to make dung)
Been in a Maasai hut. They get ripe in the rainy season.
Wouldn’t threatening to “Blow Up” infrastructure in a foreign country be considered International Terrorism?
Yes, i would request interpol to be making some arrests if i was the owner of this pipeline.
Do I have to mention that these folks are nuts? And deserve to be locked away where they will harm no one including themselves, before they do actually harm someone.
At the very least, they need to be deprived of their fossil fuel niceties of their lives. Which would expose how very hypocritical they truly are. Same goes every greenie on the planet. Take away their oil derived perks and watch them wander naked(yech!) in the world they seem to envision with their sanctimonious crap.
Tired of their blatherings now. The left has stepped way over the line and need a vicious slap back into reality.
Just sayin’.
Fortunately (though not for the Ukrainian people), Putin has given the Greens of Europe a first slap of reality. I suspect it will take several slaps, Humphrey Bogart style, for the self-impressed fools like this one to wake up from her Wokeness.
‘Putin has given the Greens a first slap of reality’ – no such luck, they just double down on the stupidity when anyone tried to point out it’s their own fault for relying on unreliables instead of drilling, fracking, and fissioning in their own backyard to take care of their own needs – and being happy with shifting the hard dirty work and its resultant pollution to Russia, the Middle East and so on.
Even Greens will have second thoughts once they are forced to sit in the dark in unheated houses.
Can’t have a second thought if you’ve never had a first one.
At the very least, they need to be deprived of their fossil fuel niceties of their lives.

Greta Thunberg’s perfect petroleum-free world
WattsUpWithThat October 2020
Time in an African prison could do that.
I would imagine a person like Nick would sympathize with these lefties. After all, they are saving the planet…by destroying it 😉
I do not think so. I can recall no occasion on which Nick has condoned any kind of violent activity in furtherance of climate objectives.
He has been, I think, severely mistaken in some of his views, particularly regarding the merits of renewable energy. But he probably thinks the same of me!
Useful for their entertainment value and as negative stereotypes.
They’re also useful for aggregating likeminded fools in need of additional attention.
yeah they wont be walking or rowing there, and arent explosives made FROM fossil fueals or byproducts thereof?
I see that the last lesson administered to German transnational ambitions nearly 80 years ago didn’t take. Maybe it’s time to roll out a drum of whoop-ass and apply some selective reminders.
If she really wants to have an effect, she and her ilk should be trying similar tactics on the World’s Largest Single Emitter…China instead of picking on a small practically meaningless pipeline that can barely deliver 200k barrels a day.
The whole point behind virtue signaling is that it first not make a difference, and secondly it must never involve personal sacrifice on the part of the person doing the signalling.
yea, kinda like those mulla’s in iran who send out their suicide bombers to blow themselves to hell, while they sit in their safe compounds surrounded by layers of security planning the next suicide attack…. Lack of guts is what it is.
Some people simply don’t have the Guts to wear a belly bomb
never happen. they are all too chicken-shit to start their crap in China, same as greenpuss
leaves China alone
They’re funded from China, just like Griff
I suspect any attempt to do so in countries such as Tanzania and Uganda would result in very severe and possibly lethal responses from the local security forces. Rules and accepted norms are very, very different in Africa (TIA).
A Google search on “TIA Africa” turns up a variety of stuff, Example:
TIA is used by Africans and non-Africans alike as both a term of endearment and a sigh of resignation. It’s used to shrug off a range of inconveniences, from power cuts and roadworks to general inefficiency, infuriating bureaucracy and questionable ethics. TIA is an instruction to go with the flow, to take a chill pill, to sit down and relax because hey, this is what happens in Africa.
Looks like “Questionable Ethics” fits what Thinking Scientist was alluding to.
On edit, I forgot what the acronym is. TIA = This Is Africa
Also used widely in the movie Blood Diamond. Its really about a form of fatalism and carries a meaning of inevitability about bad outcomes.
“It stands for “This Is Africa,” and it conveys a strange brand of fatalism — adoring and exhausted, like a cuckold who just keeps heading back for more. It’s uttered with a shrug, real or verbal, capturing both the love that binds the continent and the chaos that tears it to pieces. War, corruption, blood-red earth and rugged beauty: T.I.A.”
Interchangeable in many circumstances with SNAFU and FOOBAR.
If Ms. Neubauer and her cohorts get arrested for anti-pipeline terrorism somewhere in East Africa, I imagine they will find out the hard way that a prison in a poor developing African nation is not a pleasant place to be.
Prisons in developing countries in any part of the world are not pleasant places to be.
If they are apprehended trying to fulfill their ambitions, I would give better odds on a shallow grave than a set of handcuffs.
bet she won’t go. I think she;s short on guts.
I could be wrong which would be great,but from what I’ve seen most of these
blowhards like their safe spaces & will let their storm troops make the sacrifice.
Pretty white girl in a South African prison.
Guards will have great fun.
oh I dunno
be a perfect world for them? no lights, power fossilfuel amenities like pillows and mattresses(apart from hay) and basic food if any
should be a greentards heaven;-)
Lethal is probably the best solution. They care so little about the lives they place at risk by denying people energy that nobody should place any value on theirs.
When protesters lie down in front of a dozer in Uganda, the dozer just keeps dozing…
Putin doesnt need bombs with useful idiots like these
The real “white supremacists”.
Safe bet that these same “activists” will be quick to declare that anyone who disagrees with them is a “white supremacist”. That term has replaced racist as the left wind, all purpose charge.
I guess racist no longer had the impact they wanted.
MAGA supremacist would rile them up.
Ask Griff an African just needs a solar LED light and they are good … problem solved.
PERFECT EXAMPLE of their hypocrisy, gold medal, good one to post.
Why are the police not knocking on her door for this?
Probably too busy jailing people for inappropriate pro noun use.
Greta Thunberg is an avowed racist. Such a pity
“and her crazed FFF radical group”
Interesting acronym, FFF.
For me the term FFF has always stood for Fabulous Freshman Flunk-out.
It is when you hit campus, Party Hardy, and get way over your head with your classwork.
When you do so badly, your class grades are unrecoverable. Then you get the “Dean’s Letter”, informing you that you are done, weeks before the semester ends. Then gives you 24 hours to vacate campus, never to return. That is the Fabulous part.
I am sure that the FFF is exactly what would happen to these clowns if signed up for real science courses.
Unfortunately, there probably aren’t any “real science courses” any more. Even those that SOUND like they SHOULD be “real science” these days are probably taught by deluded leftist idiots who weave the climate crap into everything.
I thought that they just misspelled FJB
These thugs also are the first to attack colonialism, but they have no compunction in offering to let Africans “eat cake.”
All that money and they jump on to a fraud.
People with money or access to other people’s money are the best target for fraud.
When I saw the headline I wondered if Germany was going to blow up the illegal immigrant pipeline from Africa or put a moratorium on all non-Ukrainians until the Ukraine war was ended. Then I discovered it was about a real oil pipeline under construction. Perhaps they should address the former problem at home when they do not have enough fuel for their own citizens so can ill afford hordes pouring in from Africa and elsewhere.
Fossil fuels are the main reason Luisa isn’t barefoot and pregnant with her 3rd child, and down by the river beating laundry on a rock, all with a good chance of living only to age 39.
–
I sincerely doubt that she has ever earned so much as a penny from any value-added activity, yet she wants for nothing and has all the free time in the world to meddle in other people’s lives.
Let’s hope this fanatic will be caught “hand in the bag” by the local african police after she has blown up this african oil pipeline: I prefer not to imagine what will be left of her. The african policemen have special methods our european polices lack to calm down such extremists.
Let’s hope she is caught setting the charges, but before they can be set off.
The rich can afford to pay the price…
Middle class living standards go down
Working class living standards get precarious.
John “silver spoon” Kerry is the definition for this mentality.
Do you think John Kerry & his ilk care about middle class folks, let alone the working class?
If they cared about the poor and middle class, they wouldn’t be pushing socialism.
Like unions, the only people who benefit from socialism are those who run it.
So true! Socialism is not too bad in theory – it’s just that human nature always gets in the way.
As David M says, when reality comes calling, it’s never a friendly visit.
I have always dreamed about being sufficiently wealthy to be a Socialist. I’m not, alas.
Greens and liberals have never cared how many brown people die. So long as the world marches to their tune.
BTW, the most racist people I have ever met, have all been liberals. The further left, the more racist.
I am a southerner, often painted with a broad brush as racist, but the most blatantly racist city I have ever visited is Boston, MA.
I witnessed much more, and more open, racism in California than I’ve seen since moving to NC.
Yeap.
Going back a few years was on a bus going into the CBD for some casual shopping. Free community bus so of course the Left liked it.
There was some woman who struck up a conversation with some poor victim. A good 15 minutes of unfiltered Left Speak was then offered for all to over hear.

and the real eye openner
Not, “my neighbours who are Indian have a problem with correctly recycling rubbish” but “Indians”. To this woman’s mind all Indians should be regarded as enemies of the recycling bin.
Yup. These people exist. They happily identify as Left Wing.
She’s only winding you up, don’t take yourselves so seriously.
In any case, she’s been beaten to it ‘by our own side’ and can take herself off on another leiberlander lufterlofter, or whatever bright young German Things do
Is this true (from the latest Net Zero email I got…
Quote:“In recent days, UK natural gas prices have risen 25% in response to a fire at a major US LNG facility, which will severely reduce the supply for many months to come. In addition, political turmoil has caused Libyan production to almost grind to a halt while Russian has announced to curtail gas exports to Europe.
It’s straight out of the Keystone <expletive> Cops.
ha hahaha
The facility has issued a force majeure notice for only the next 3 weeks. I don’t see how that currently translates to “many months to come.”
Fire at Key US LNG Export Terminal a Blow for Natural Gas-Starved Europe – Bloomberg
Perhaps they plan on keeping the prices high even after shipments from the US resume.
If they were a monopoly, the might have a chance, otherwise it’s all about market price. You can remove your product from the pipeline, but all that does is make your competitors richer.
exactly -claims of months to repair i suspect are bogus BUT it will get FJB nuts off the fire as supply is freed up for home use
Libya is still in the grip of factionalised conflict and the oil industry, which could be a major international player, is being used as a bargaining chip by both sides trying to keep control of large parts of the country. I don’t think this is going to change much in the near future.
After Ukraine shut off about a third of the gas supply to EU in May, now Russia is stopping further gas supplies to customers that have declined to pay in roubles – EU gas prices have risen 5% in the last few weeks and are likely to go even higher.
and all germanys gotta do is free up nord2 at their end and pay in Rubles for much cheaper reliable supply
or suffer some more;-)
Sometimes I think bringing back the whip might not be such a bad idea.
Better ask the horse first.

” ….. longest crude oil pipeline in the world.”
So far as I can see the longest is the East Siberian Pipeline from central Russia to China at 4857km. However if they don’t want to upset the Chinese, the second longest, at 4000 km, the Druzhba Pipeline, runs from Central Russia to Germany so is right on their doorstep.
Think of the CO2 they can save by not going to Africa.
It might be the longest crude oil pipeline in Africa? Yeah – that claim had me scratching my head as well.
How about, instead of focusing on taking away fossil fuels from as many people as possible, they first, LEAD BY EXAMPLE.
All authentic leaders guided by ethical principles should hold themselves accountable to the same behavior that they want to impose on others.
When has that ever happened, Mike?
I have a friend who lives in Kenya. During the Covid lockdowns the police were shooting on sight anyone who violated the lockdowns.
What should happen to those on the other side of Africa attempting to thwart the improvement of conditions there?
Well, besides the fact that they’re telegraphing their nonsense in advance, I am really looking forward to seeing these pampered babes actually try to carry it off in Africa no less – where they won’t be entitled to the protections of European courts but would be at the mercy of nations whose economic lifeblood depends upon the functioning of those pipe lines … and are more likely than not to just shoot them, or worse.
