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.

Wait, this asshole still has a radio show? I thought he was bankrupt and had to liquidate all his assets to pay damages in the Sandy Hook lawsuit. How can he be broadcasting? Who is paying for it?
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.
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.

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.
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.
Even if Harris is a weather wielder, is she also stopping those states from accepting aid?
Why does this sentient piece of excrement still have a platform?
There’s a push to sell off the InfoWars name and branding - to liquidate the entire business to pay off the Sandy Hook families. He plays shell games with money though - even if he’s forced to give up the “InfoWars” name, he will find a way to get back on the air.
He needs money to live now that the courts have started selling his business to pay off the last people he hurt by spreading insane conspiracy theories.
He’s a one trick pony, only thing he knows how to do is lie and sell snake oil pills that turn you red.
Because stupidity, hatred and lies are acceptable platforms for political discussion in a world where humans profit from harming others.
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.
The password is “Barrack Obama was born in America.” Poor guy had a weather machine sitting right there and could never use it.
translation:
“SHE’S A WITCH!”
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.
I’ve seen this in the Paw Patrol movie.
Sounds like he wants another defamation suit
Do not give this idiot any more of a platform to shill himself out of bankruptcy
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.
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.
Stop giving this dumbass attention. “Idiot says stupid shit” isn’t newsworthy in the slightest.
that is the entire premise of the republican party at the moment and like every article on 5 of the six major news companies
Angel’s don’t play this HAARP is about to sell a million more copies.
How does this piece of human garbage still have a fucking show?!
