The QAA podcast did an ep about this recently.
Jones included a video of a man speculating that various Texas and Oklahoma counties had declared a state of emergency in order to usher in a billionaire-led new world order.
It’s already like this
Yeah that happens in November and the consistency theorists are cheering it on
This is the best summary I could come up with:
As early as 763 BCE, ancient Assyrians were charting the process by which the path of the moon temporarily obstructs the sun, and astronomers have continued to do so for thousands of years since.
Unconvinced by thousands of years of scientific inquiry, as well as driven by a general sense of apocalyptic bloodlust, many on the right are trading conspiracy theories about the upcoming eclipse, ranging from the belief that it signals the End Times to the idea that the Biden administration is using it as an opportunity to shut down cellphone service or bring in the National Guard in an effort to make beautiful blond children who play sports transgender.
The post, which has more than 3,000 retweets and 1 million views, illustrates how the trajectory of the most recent solar eclipse viewable in the United States, as well as the trajectory of the upcoming eclipse, form an “Aleph” and “Tav,” which (as anyone who was forced to go to Hebrew school instead of staying home and using cheat codes to make your Sims woo-hoo naked knows) are the first and last letters in the Hebrew language, signaling the beginning and end times.
While this explanation sounds both highly rational and surprisingly efficient by county bureaucracy standards, it is not one that has been accepted by the slew of mini-Alex Joneses on TikTok, Instagram, and X.
Ostensibly, the title of the project, which is intended to measure changes in electric and magnetic fields, is a clever (albeit nerdy) reference to ancient Egyptian mythology.
So coming from the perspective of someone who very much understands science and how eclipses work: On Monday, if you’re standing in the right place at the right time and wearing stupid-looking glasses, you may or may not see the sun go black for a moment, as has periodically happened since the recording of human history.
The original article contains 1,030 words, the summary contains 310 words. Saved 70%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
My conspiracy theory is that it’s a hoax made up by the tourism boards of the cities along the path as a way to drum up more business.
Let’s face it, nobody actually would want to go to Cleveland without the eclipse.
Cleveland- it’s not Detroit!
What about major fans of the 1990s/2000s sitcom Drew Carey show? Cleveland, Ohio!!

🎵 CLEVELAND ROCKS 🎵
Hey Cleveland is fine. I went there multiple times. Sure it’s because my doctor was there, and no I wouldn’t go there otherwise, but yeah it’s not bad
Funny the last eclipse was no issue. The one where Trump looked directly into the sun with bare naked eyes. Pepperidge Farms Remembers….
Clearly he saw something that the Deep State is trying to hide, and now’s the chance to see it for ourselves.
He saw “made in china” etched on the back of the moon
Man i was in south Carolina at the time, and there was talk of lizard men and Bigfoot a plenty.
Also people from the forest and creatures from the swamp, all sorts of ooga booga shit.
These people think it’s the 1600s. Fucking medievals.
Aw, man they got me. I was going to block out the sun to calibrate the gay Jewish space lasers to kill god before the election. I also had planned an update for the moonagram. You guys would have loved it.

Sounds like more fun then constantly being reminded of our governments genocidal intent.
Are they literally addicted to fear?
Yep.
“Political conservatism is associated with an increased negativity bias, including increased attention and reactivity toward negative and threatening stimuli”
yes it gives their life structure like other addictions do and is even controlled by the same part of the brain
The fear is how they keep the grift going. None of these wack jobs believe 99.99% of the shit they spew, but a base that is afraid is easier to manipulate/con.
They’re addicted to attention. And will do anything to get it.
In a way yes, NPR talked about a study where conservative brains have a bigger fear center in the brain. There were a lot of cool distinctions made between conservatives and liberals in their brains and behavior patterns.
Is this really worth covering, rolling stone ?
There are and will always be a bunch of nutters who who think the mailman is CIA but there’s fuck all you and I can do about it.
The on going coverage is becoming grotesque . Just leave ‘em to it.
How dare they report on someone who is wildly popular spreading dangerous conspiracy theories!
Seriously, it’s like reporting on a headline from the Weekly World News. So fucking stupid clickbaity nonsense.
They’re fast tracking their way to Idiocracy at dizzying speeds.
I was thinking of taking my kids to see the eclipse at Niagara but…these guys and the combination of a large crowd has me concerned.
Definitely take them! The next one in the US isn’t until 2044 or something like that.
Honestly I saw the last one and I don’t get the hype. The shadows made cool shapes and then it got dark and then it stopped being dark. It was neat but not like this lose your mind shit.
It’s a bit late to make plans. Roads are going to be massively congested in the hours before and after. The best way to avoid that is to stay somewhere overnight, but those places are all booked now.
If you have an opportunity to experience the total eclipse by taking a short trip, do it! I would avoid the tourist traps, though. They will be full beyond capacity.
A small park in a rural town will get the same eclipse as Niagara Falls or other big cities inside the totality area.
Be aware of general traffic, also, though. Plan to make a day of it, get to where you plan to go early and hang out for a while.
Losers that never paid attention in science class and had no science after high school trying to tell everyone we’re wrong and they’re right, so they don’t feel as idiotic as they are
Most of the people saying this stuff, like Alex Jones, know that it’s bullshit. They are preying upon the uneducated and gullable.
I’m more referring to those that eat up their shit
Can’t trust the scientists, they went to college and college makes you liberalwokecommunist!!
What? Joe Biden switches off the sun for nefarious reasons or what?
Whenever I see or hear anything Alex Jones, I just imagine he’s a time traveler from the Warhammer: 40k universe.
