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’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.
