The climate change alarmist chattering class like to attend Davos in private carbon-spewing jets, some 400 were at this year's talkfest. When challenged about this, the elites, if they bother to reply say, as Bill gates did, that one has to break some eggs to make omelettes, and that they are saving the planet. So, fly a private jet, eat lavish meats at a talkfest, and proclaim that for the ordinary people, plane travel and meat must be banned.
Taylor Swift, was once just a singer, but now has emerged as a Left-wing political figure, championing the trans agenda, climate change, abortion, and the usual big thing Leftist causes. She is being rolled out now to give a boost to Joe Biden, as if she tells her fans, Swifties to vote for someone, like mindless robots, they will, it has been said. Hence, she is now a public political figure, and thus open to criticism like any other such figure. Thus, it is only fair that her jet flying activities be traced, as the jet is increasing carbon emissions, and the planet is in peril, right?
However, a Florida university student, who tracks her jet travels has been threatened by Swift's lawyers, claiming that this tracking caused Swift and her family "direct and irreparable harm, as well as emotional and physical distress" and had heightened the singer's "constant state of fear for her personal safety." Presumably, people would know what city Swift was in, even though that knowledge could have been gleamed from numerous sources. And, she has massive security anyway.
"Her team thinks they can control the world," the student told the Washington Post.
"Taylor Swift is threatening legal action against a Florida college student who tracks her private jet and its global travels.
The target of the threatened law suit runs social media accounts that follow her and other celebrities' private jets to measure their carbon pollution levels — with Swift calling the issue a matter of "life or death."
According to the Washington Post, Jack Sweeney, 21, was sent a cease and desist letter in December saying the singer would "have no choice but to all legal remedies" if the accused did not stop his "stalking and harassing behavior."
The 14-time Grammy award winner claimed Sweeney's accounts caused Swift and her family "direct and irreparable harm, as well as emotional and physical distress" and had heightened the singer's "constant state of fear for her personal safety."
"While this may be a game to you, or an avenue that you hope will earn you wealth or fame, it is a life or death matter for our Client," wrote Katie Wright Morrone, the pop icon's attorney, of the Washington law firm Venable.
She added there is "no legitimate interest in or public need for this information, other than to stalk, harass and exert dominion and control."
When asked whether there is any evidence that some of Swift's stalkers used the jet-tracking accounts, her spokeswoman Tree Paine told the Washington Post: "We cannot comment on any ongoing police investigation, but can confirm the timing of stalkers suggests a connection.
"His posts tell you exactly when and where she would be."
But Sweeney, a junior at the University of Central Florida who has run several accounts that track the flight paths of planes and helicopters owned by celebrities, billionaires, politicians and other public figures, claimed the "information is already out there."
He further criticized the letter as a scare tactic.
"Her team thinks they can control the world," he told the Washington Post.
Sweeney, who has been monitoring Swift's private jet flights for more than a year, also told the Post the situation is "eerily similar" to when Elon Musk threatened legal action against him for tracking the Tesla founder's jet."
