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.

    That any double digit percent is falling for this bullshit is a sad commentary of the state of the world today. And I’m not singling Americans out because there are plenty of idiots on the other side of the ocean as well.

      can confirm (source: am on the other side of the ocean and certified idiot). But this is beyond even my level of idiocy. The part on 9/11 is really the icing on this shit cake: he manages to pit two conspiracies against each other:

      • hey man, what are you doing with that hurricane? Today we are doing the “flying airplanes into towers” one, remember?
      • oh shit sorry, totally forgot that one! No worries, I’m just turning this thing off before it hits the coast

    Not a conspiracy theorist but a scam artist.

    Pretty sure he doesn’t believe those lies, he’s just scamming the poor bastards that do.

    GOP Talking Head: The Democrats are pushing the point that we are allowing climate change to make storms worse and a large part of our base are getting affected by the storms. What do we do?

    AJ: We blame them for the storms.

    GTH: Nobody’s going to believe that!

    AJ: Have you met your base?

    Big question: So when they’re in control of the weather, why not send hurricanes to Ukraine/Russia instead. Or China? Or Iran? Or Irak? Or Gaza? Or …

      If Trump can be convicted for his actions and still get more money and still run for president, Alex Jones can lose lawsuit after lawsuit from being a total fucking moron and still be a total fucking moron.

    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.

    If dems could control weather why wouldn’t they use it for the benefit of States they favored, like maybe ending the drought in California or putting out the wildfires there or in the PNW?

      Jones and his ilk believe that they’re fighting the literal devil who is using demons in the guise of democrats to plunge the earth into a hell scape of suffering and torment.

      That is actually, 100%, bona fide what they believe. Once you’re fighting lucifer himself, why would it be out of the realm of possibility for the prince of lies to have a weather control device?

      Nononononono, controlling the weather is how democrats keep power.
      Like when Trump redirected that hurricane (with a Sharpie), but it continued on its predicted path. Fucking democrats, man.

      (I hope this is obviously dripping with sarcasm, incase not…

      /s
      Trump & a lot of republicans taking the spotlight are idiots. Humans can control the weather: unfortunately that’s from greenhouse gasses and global warming)

    Why is this even in the news? This is the same kind of dumb shit that would get talked about on AM radio stations and other conspiracy theory circles that nobody paid any attention to because of how completely stupid it sounded to a rational person. Can we stop giving these people any attention?
