QAnon congresswoman believed California wildfires were started by a giant space laser
Brad Reed
January 28, 2021

QAnon-loving Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in 2018 posted a bizarre conspiracy theory on her Facebook page involving then-California Gov. Jerry Brown using a giant space laser to deliberately start wildfires.

Media Matters on Thursday revealed that Greene, in a since-deleted Facebook post from November 2018, speculated that Brown started the fires in order to clear out forests in areas where he wanted to build a high-speed rail line up the California coast.

At the center of Greene's theory was a partnership between utility company Pacific Gas and Electricity (PG&E) and renewable energy startup Solaren.

Greene argued that PG&E and Solaren sent solar power generators up into space that were then used to beam the sun's energy back down to Earth to start the California wildfires.

people in her district elected her, and they expect good things to come out of her office, should they ever need help from their Congressional representative? Just wait when the chips are down folks (in Green's district) and you need something...

If a tornado or hurricane remnant levels her district, the hated federal government will rush in to make things right and operable again.

Honestly, I would love to see people like her and the people that vote for her in their own small-assed country, I would make sure that I lived anywhere else.

In the 1500 and 1600s Spanish ships saw and recorded wildfires in what would become California.
The ecology of much of the state is based on wildfires such as in the chaparral country.

Despite the scare over the Orson Welles radio broadcast, War of the Worlds is fiction, not current events. Someone who relies on NewsMax and OANN would not be able to tell the difference, though.

fooled by a radio broadcast again. The original broadcast was a bit of a fluke, they did say they were going to do the broadcast , but the word didn't spread around enough.

Now it wouldn't matter how much warning was given. They would take it at face value and run with it.

Yes, this is a real Alex Jones thing that he really said. I had forgotten about it. There's been SO much cray-cray it's hard to keep up.

They saw(!) a laser beam coming straight down from space.
Have they never seen someone with a laser pointer?

One series of fires in Northern California last year were caused by lightening strikes which is close to space lasers if you're an airhead like Greene. But mostly these days they're caused by sparks - accidentally manmade or otherwise - igniting dry brush when the humidity is in the low teens (or lower).

Directed energy warfare. Yeah , lasers. Supposedly, there are hundreds of images at the fire sources where one can SEE the lasers. Golly gee, even I know about special effects and digital manipulation. My Adobe programs would probably work!
