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.

Here’s the thing… If we can control the weather so easily, why can’t the Republicans? Have they not figured it out yet? I don’t want to vote for someone who can’t even destroy Florida on a whim with a few clouds.
it’s the whole secrete society Illuminati thing.
A billion dollar judgement against this guy and he is still spewing lies.
It’s truly unbelievable, isn’t it. It illustrates the degree to which people are truly a slave to their impulses and delusions. No external factors will ever reform this guy, and it’s really a sad thing to watch a person trapped in their own kind of hell.
He knows what the truth is. He just wants money and cocaine, so he continues doing these.
Kamala lives rent free in his head. I’ve heard, you know…on TV, that there’s a way to get her out and it involves a power drill with a long drill bit. But, shhh…don’t tell anyone - it’s a liberal secret.
If he drilled out his medula oblongata with a half inch drill bit, that would own the libs so hard
If we don’t ever get to see the families of Sandy Hook take his money, I would at the very least hope to see Alex Jones incarcerated with no ability to reach a public audience. That’s not all though. His only source of news should be restricted to daily governmental briefings on what democratic elected officials are doing and left-leaning news organizations coverage. One more thing. We give him a recording session of 1 hour every month so everyone gets their dose of schadenfreud.
That’s the only thing he knows and sells.
How else should he get money now?Billion and a half.
A billion and a half so far!
👉
the thing is he wasn’t in trouble for his lies generally speaking, he was in trouble for specific lies that made the sandy hook families’ lives hell. As long as he’s talking about general conspiracy bullshit that doesn’t materially damage anyone, he can still say whatever the fuck he wants.
🤔 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.
Well this is an unexpected turn to climate change denial.
I guess the “it’s real but it’s too late” is not as useful as “it’s real and ifs caused by [inset scapegoat]”
Really didn’t see this coming, which shows how satire can’t hold a candle to the stupidity of reality.
The sad thing is there are actual people out there who would believe this sooner than they’d see climate change as the cause.
And some, or at least one, of them is a member of Congress.
At least one…
That’s a human nature thing. We are really much happier as people when there’s a “logical” course of real events that lead to any disaster. We can understand “evil group did evil thing” better than “the collective actions of humanity over the last 200 years caused a fundamental change to our world that we cannot reverse in our lifetime.”
We aren’t good at nuance.
Some random wacko deciding to kill Kennedy because of mental illness and a general hostility towards his world view is harder for us to accept than a secret plot to seal power. Bad guys make sense to us. Chaotic elements just don’t.
We are really much happier as people when there’s a “logical” course of real events that lead to any disaster.
Even with quotation marks you’re really stretching the meaning of logical. It’s less about “logical” and more about “believable course of events”. There’s nothing logical about weather weapons, but people who already believe democrats are evil and deep state exists etc. have no problem throwing another make-believe ontop of their layered make-believe cake. And why wouldn’t they? They already believe all the other nonsense that’s necessary to believe this nonsense, they’re just getting a bigger cake.
And just to throw it out there, they could’ve believed “Gods did this” as that’s what we’ve historically believed. Weather weapons isn’t the only option to believe in, it’s just the one they choose to believe in.
“Scapegoat” is the term. Humanity has always loved a good scapegoat to blame all their problems on. Whether it’s true or not doesn’t matter. Has never mattered.
I’d say we want narrative more than logic.
If you believe this is caused by ‘climate change’ you’re just as deluded. This shit just happens.
Is this a joke or does my block list need enlargement?
Climate change obviously doesn’t directly cause natural disasters but various changes and knock on effects resulting from man made climate change make cyclones far more common, have a much higher range, and have the potential to be stronger.
Let me guess, it’s the sunspot cycle. That’s what folks like you used to claim before we went through a couple of those and things kept getting worse.
This Alex Jones mf. Imagine running your mouth so bad you have to pay a billion and a half dollars to families of murdered children. I’d probably be terrified to ever open my mouth ever again.
Ah, but your entire brand image probably isn’t agressively lying.
D’oh!
There can’t be snake-oil salesmen without customers willing to buy snake-oil.
We harshly punish those who purchase drugs and treat snake oil purchaser as victims but the outcome is the same; they are purchasing a high that is incredibly addictive.
Boy this dude’s gonna be pissed when all his livestream equipment gets auctioned off in that firesale to pay his legal expenses.
Most likely his dad will buy it.
His dad’s a billionaire? I did not know that!
Please stop feeding the troll.
This, it’s free advertising for the prick
The day this guy dies, I will throw a party. And I hate parties.
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.
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.“So they have the power certified easily with just five or six big aircraft,” he
opinedlied.What a lame excuse for a person Alex Jones is. The US will be destroyed sooner rather because there’s enough people here that believe things as stupid as this or stupider. This is just another lie to tell the public so the people actually responsible (oil company CEOs) can laugh all the way to the bank.
I thought Jones lost his show in the settlement?
edit
and doesnt this run counter to their whole “climate cant be altered by man” climate denialism?
Maybe he finally learned the difference between weather and climate.
I’ve seen this in the Paw Patrol movie.
It’s heartbreaking that this completely utter rubbish exists at all and more still that it will be believed and there’s nothing no one can do to convince the believers otherwise. 😖
