As the death toll rises amid the carnage and destruction caused by Hurricane Helene, Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is floating a new conspiracy theory.

“Yes, they have control over the weather. It’s ridiculous when someone lies and says it’s not possible.” Greene posted on X to her 1.2 million followers.

Greene did not describe who “they” are in her post, but she has a track record of using conspiracy theories to explain deadly catastrophes.

In 2018, a poorly maintained power grid caused a wildfire in California that killed 84 people. In a Facebook post in November of that year, Greene wrongly speculated that dark forces were at work.

Connecting a series of scattered dots, Greene envisioned a bank controlled by the Rothschild family, who are Jewish, a utility company responsible for the fire, and the government of the day. Jerry Brown had a compelling motive for starting the fire: to clear the way for a high-speed rail project that Brown wanted. She also raised the possibility that the fires could have been caused by “lasers or blue light beams” shot from space by allies of Brown, who were reportedly in the solar energy industry.

The post coined the phrase “Jewish space lasers.”

More recently, in April, after a 4.8 magnitude earthquake struck New Jersey and reverberated through the Northeast, around the same time of a solar eclipse, she said these were signs: “God is sending America signs to us to tell us that we must repent.”

Helene is the deadliest hurricane to hit the US mainland since Katrina in 2005. About half of the victims were in North Carolina, while dozens of others died in South Carolina and Georgia.

It is not clear how many people are missing or unaccounted for. The death toll rose to 215 people on Thursday as more victims were found.

Electricity is slowly being restored as the number of homes and businesses without power fell below 1 million for the first time since last weekend, according to poweroutage.us. Most of the disruptions are in the Carolinas and Georgia, where Helene struck after entering Florida on September 26 as a Category 4 hurricane.

As of Thursday, the search continued for people who have not yet been heard from in places where telephone service and electricity were out. Requests for help came from people running low on medications or needing fuel for their generators.
