Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones accused Vice President Kamala Harris of having the ability to control hurricanes through so-called "weather weapons."

Jones kicked off his Tuesday broadcast by promising to explain how he knew the government could control the weather.

"I'm going to be covering today, and I've sent the crew over 20 clips, and I've got over a hundred documents right here," he explained. "I'm gonna do a big presentation for everybody on what's really going on with weather weapons."

Jones claimed to have interviews and government documents that would prove his point.

"Then we have the bold headlines that I put up on X that the Kamala Harris, you know, the Biden-Harris administration is in control of this hurricane," he said of Hurricane Milton.

"So they have the power certified easily with just five or six big aircraft," he opined. "And that's the old technology, not the lasers that are all certified and the Doppler radar. They also have on ships and in large oil drilling platforms that they've launched. They could totally just make this thing stop and dump the water in the ocean."

Jones insisted that the technology to control hurricanes was used before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

"And on 9/11, the hurricane was gonna hit," he asserted. "Remember in 2001, but that meteorologists never saw anything like it. It just turned away from the coast went away because that was gonna get in the way of some of the stuff the deep state was up to."

Scientists have said it is currently impossible to control weather events like Hurricane Milton.

Ah yes, because if a politician could control the weather, of course the thing they'd do with it is attack several swing states right before the election /s

Ah, we've gone from appealing to conspiracy theorists to appealing to the legit mentally unwell.

Super.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

Yes, because closely-scrutinized disaster responses that are having to be done in multiple states for multiple storms are such a huge winner for the incumbent party. This is one of those conspiracies that is not only stupid on its face, but it doesn't make any sense at all even if it was true. It's a failure of critical thinking on so many levels.

Can somebody just get this nutjob committed to a psychiatric institution already? He's very clearly delusional and paranoid. I'm not sure what he needs to be on, but he definitely needs some kind of medication.

I think he needs iron supplements. I recommend a dosage of around 220 lbs, administered from a height of, oh, let's say 100 feet.

Ah yes, the tech the deep state so controls, but somehow Trump still let hurricanes hit and refused to use the same technology for whatever bullshit he would while he was president and had control of this supposed technology.

Scientists ~~have said it is currently impossible to control weather events like Hurricane Milton.~~ first laughed out loud, said "oh you're serious?" and then let out a deep sigh while patiently explaining that "no - nobody can do that." They then picked up their scotch that was half-finished at 10AM and took a deep gulp.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

But you also say manmade climate change is a myth.. So which is it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

People buy pills from this guy and put them IN THEIR BODY.

For anybody outside the US wondering how Trump has even the slightest chance to win the election, this is who we’re living with over here!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

The Democrats control the weather and that's why they purposefully made it rain in Detroit in November of 2016 because they wanted turnout to be low and for Trump to be elected.

Therefore, Trump is a secret deep state agent.

At this point, right-wing lunatics are already so far removed from reality that it's safe to call them a sect.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

you mean like the nuke that trump said he was going to use against a hurricane?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

I spent some time on Threads. It’s shocking how many people (or trolls) are promoting the belief that all of these disasters are instigated and/or the impact deliberately worsened by Harris. Even though Biden is still president and Harris has no power over any of these issues.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

you have to round up not only the people that peddle this shit but the people that are gullible enough to believe it and get them far away from the gears of society. i don't care how you do it, or where they end up, or how it gets done, but it's obvious that we cannot have a functioning society with these people in it.

Alex Jones is AI generated, don't trust him.

Pass this message on in other places please.
