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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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?

      That was- I cannot convey just how insane that was using spoken language. I think I’d need to smash a watermelon, aim a sandblaster filled with crushed seashells and desiccated termites at it, start blasting and let my intuition do its thing until something resembling art was produced. Possibly while doing interpretive dance and making primal guttural grunting noises. That would get me pretty darn close to properly communicate my thoughts on what I saw. Thank you.

    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 …

    For anyone confused where these ideas originated from, I found out some articles from NOAA stuff like these:

    Can human intervention diminish the force of a hurricane? From the mid-1960s through the early 1980s NOAA actively pursued Project STORMFURY, a program of experimental hurricane modification

    https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hrd_sub/modification.html

    And I think in Wikipedia there were statement about using laser to warm the water a few degrees to pervent storms from forming…

      I thought one of the main drivers of these storms WAS warm water? How would adding more energy into the system lessen the storm?

    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?

      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.
