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.
🤔 Isn’t he making a specific lie about Kamala Harris here that could be shown to materially damage her election campaign? Plus all it would take is one of these nutjobs taking pot shots at airplanes or something to expand the scope of harm. He’s definitely playing with fire on this one.
theoretically, perhaps, but remember you have to prove the damages in court somehow, and the jones was liable. The Sandy Hook families were dealing with very long list of direct consequences from his conspiracies, like people showing up at their houses and harassing them.
I suppose if there was an assassination attempt with evidence of the perpetrator saying it was due to this conspiracy then yeah that would be similar. seems pretty unlikely there would be clear enough evidence for that though, given all the stuff people hate on democrats for.
