To put it plainly, the idea of ​​weather-inducing technology powerful enough to generate a weaponized hurricane has been debunked by experts. (Is cloud seeding a thing? Yes, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here.)

Greene did not specify whether “they” are Jewish in this weather control scenario, but such claims about people nefariously controlling the weather have documented links to anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.

Taken together, Greene’s posts certainly give the impression that she thinks Hurricane Helene was the result of some artificial technology designed to harm Republicans. That’s taking a claim that Donald Trump and others in the Republican Party have made — suggesting that federal agencies are deliberately denying aid to Republican residents and giving it to undocumented immigrants instead — and really launching it into the stratosphere, to so to speak. For the record, FEMA has denounced and corrected Trump’s claims.

As my MSNBC colleague Steve Benen noted, Trump’s lie is particularly egregious in light of new Politico reporting (which has not been independently verified by MSNBC or NBC News) that Trump on multiple occasions as president “hesitated to provide disaster aid to areas he considers politically hostile.”

The only thing I fear being projected into the atmosphere is the dangerous lies of the Republicans.
