Marjorie Taylor Greene bizarrely adds lasers to her conspiracy theory about Hurricane Helene

WASHINGTON, DC: Marjorie Taylor Greene, known for her history of embracing fringe conspiracy theories, has now added a bizarre twist to her claims about Hurricane Helene.

Over the weekend, the Georgia congresswoman revisited her earlier assertion that “they” have the power to control the weather, and is now suggesting that lasers may be involved in such schemes.

This latest statement comes amid growing concerns over the spread of misinformation in the wake of one of the most devastating storms to hit the United States in recent years, as per The Daily Beast.

Marjorie Taylor Greene suggests lasers may be involved in wake of Hurricane Helene

Greene took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a clip from a 2013 CBS News broadcast that discussed experimental efforts to control rain and lightning using lasers.

In her post, Greene erroneously identified the clip as being from nine years ago, apparently misreading the year in the video’s text.

She used this video to reinforce her argument that weather control is not only possible but is already being tested, stating, “CBS, 9 years ago, talked about lasers controlling the weather.”

Although Greene didn’t directly mention Hurricane Helene in her latest post, this comes shortly after her controversial statement last week, in which she labeled it “ridiculous” to believe that weather cannot be manipulated.

Alongside that claim, she shared a map showing the storm’s impact on several counties and overlaid it with the political affiliations of those areas, suggesting that hurricane devastation could have political ramifications.

Greene’s assertions, though lacking any factual basis, have garnered significant attention on social media and from conspiracy theorist circles.

As disinformation around Hurricane Helene swirled, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) stepped in to counter the flood of fake news.

The agency launched a “rumor response” page on its website, directly addressing the baseless claims circulating online.

FEMA emphasized the dangers of such disinformation, especially during critical times when people’s lives and property are at risk.

The agency warned that false information could prevent those in need from seeking assistance or acting on vital evacuation orders.

The White House also expressed concern over the spread of conspiracy theories, releasing a memo that urged all political leaders to stop spreading harmful misinformation.

“Disinformation of this kind can discourage people from seeking critical assistance when they need it most,” the memo stated, adding that leaders across the political spectrum must refrain from fueling these false narratives.
