"And here are two more. A future (and soon-to-be ex) congresswoman rode to office on the claim that solar-powered energy weapons engineered by a devious, ancient banking family ignited California wildfires to, now get this, clear the way for a rapid-rail project. Then, the truth behind the rapidly intensifying Gulf of Mexico Hurricane Milton of 2024 and the deadly Texas flooding in 2025? Sinister geoengineers have deployed weather-control technology to skew election results."
"These claims do not leave us helpless because extraordinary declarations demand extraordinary support. We could probe for detail, and of the claimants, call for even a shred of supporting proof. Who are these evil geniuses? Why did their designer pathogens also infect their own population? Is it possible to shrink a powerful laser? How is it that we failed to notice the plasma bolts and searing beam blasts?"
Conspiracy narratives attribute major crises to hidden, malevolent actors using exotic technologies, from bioweapons to weather-control and energy weapons. The supposed plots span COVID origins, engineered wildfires, and manipulated hurricanes and floods aimed at political gain. Direct disproof often proves impossible because conspirators are by definition undetectable and proponents treat absence of evidence as itself evidentiary. Effective response relies on demanding concrete, specific proof: identifying perpetrators, mechanisms, motives, detectable effects, and simpler explanations. Persistent evasions and counter-questions from claimants aim to shift the burden of proof and exploit the impossibility of definitive disproof.
