The protocols of the Lasers of Zion
As usual, the Jews have been very, very busy. Because of Facebook and other social media sites, we’re able to learn about their sinister plans in detail thanks to the internet sleuthing skills of newly elected Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Ms. Greene, or “MTG” as she’s affectionately known by the Republican faithful of Georgia’s 14th Congressional District who voted her into office despite a history of paranoid social media posts, has become the face of a party determined to gerrymander itself out of existence.
Ms. Greene’s recently unearthed Facebook post speculated about the role of “a laser beam from space” as the source of the devastating November 2018 Camp Fire in California that burned 153,336 acres and killed 85 civilians, making it the deadliest wildfire in the state’s history.
“I’m posting this in speculation because there are too many coincidences to ignore,” Ms. Greene wrote in her now deleted Nov. 17, 2018, post that wasted no time in blaming “the board of directors of PG&E” and the vice chairman “of Rothschild, Inc” for the frequency of the fires.
Just in case her invoking the Rothschilds, a codeword for Jews used by anti-Semites for centuries, is lost on the rubes, Ms. Greene also wonders if Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s husband, Richard Blum, is the primary contractor of a $77 billion highspeed-rail project proposed by former Gov. Jerry Brown and whether the wildfires are just their nefarious way of clearing ground.
Well, since Mr. Brown is technically a Buddhist, it’s unfair to say Ms. Greene has only engaged in anti-Semitic tropes in pursuing this theory. Still, ever mindful of the former governor’s nickname as “Gov. Moonbeam,” Ms. Greene feels she can make a solid case that Jewish lasers from space — possibly originating from Black Lives Matterbranded black holes in deep space — are somehow involved.
“Then oddly,” Ms. Greene wrote in her FB post, “there are all these people who have said they saw what looked like lasers or blue beams of light causing the fires.”
She then speculated about whether PG&E’s partnership with Solaren Corp. on space solar generators to convert the sun’s energy into electricity and clean energy is being used to drive up the company’s stock price as well. She wondered why the company’s stock soared while the fires were raging. How could that be a coincidence, she wonders in that dumb way paranoids always pretend to wonder.
“They announced the launch into space in March 2018 and maybe even put them up before that. Space solar generators collect the sun’s energy to replace coal and oil. If they are beaming the sun’s energy back to Earth, I’m sure they wouldn’t ever miss a transmitter receiving station, right?” Ms. Greene mused. She seized on the fact that an exploding transmitter station was believed to be the source of the fire.
Ms. Greene then wonders if “a laser beam or light beam” coming down to Earth could cause a fire. “I mean, mistakes are never made when anything new is invented,” she wrote, spitballing in a country that takes racist conspiracies literally.
Ms. Greene’s strained attempt at sarcasm doesn’t mask the fact that she believes laser beams from space were responsible for the 2018 fires. She was also quick to come up with a list of likely suspects who engineered and abetted arson and mass murder — from space — for financial gain.
None of this is surprising. Ms. Greene, an avowed and proud adherent of QAnon, the Donald Trump cult, has also posted her belief that the mass shootings at the Parkland, Fla., high school and Sandy Hook Elementary School were “false flag” operations faked by Hollywood Democrats to justify the mass confiscation of guns.
Recently, posts in which Ms. Greene “liked” threats to shoot House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and assassinate members of Congress have been unearthed. Ms. Greene also “liked” posts advancing the so-called “Frazzledrip” conspiracy in which former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her assistant Huma Abedin allegedly ritually butchered a child, filleted her face and drank her blood.
The “proof” of this Satanic ritual was allegedly downloaded onto the seized laptop of Ms. Abedin’s disgraced husband, former New York Rep. Anthony Weiner. Apparently, there is no theory too outlandish for Ms. Greene to support. She has been a onewoman clearinghouse for the most violent theories on the right about Democrats.
None of this bothers the folks who voted for her. She’s considered a “fighter” in the Trumpian vein, so that’s good enough for them. Besides, she didn’t write the posts, her supporters insist, she just “liked” them, including those that called for hanging both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
It’s safe to say that the only reason Marjorie Taylor Greene wasn’t part of the mob that laid siege to the Capitol on Jan. 6 is that she already has an office there and can walk in the front door — and evade the metal detectors erected to stop gun-toting members. That’s one of the perks of being part of the congressional class of 2021.
The Republicans “like” Ms. Greene’s populist style so much she’s been appointed to the House Education Committee because there’s nothing the least bit soul-crushing about appointing a school-shooting skeptic to such a powerful position.
Despite all the rhetoric to the contrary, Democrats don’t really want to see Ms. Greene expelled from Congress — at least the sane ones don’t. Sure, there’s a lot of caterwauling about Marjorie, but that’s just theater. She’s much more useful to Democrats as a tangible symbol of the GOP’s insanity and the crackup of their party.
Meanwhile, the Republican high command, though publicly bullish on keeping MTG in office and defending her against both censure and expulsion, really want her to go because she’s a lunatic even by the exceptionally low standards of the GOP these days.
They’re too afraid of their base to make a move against Ms. Greene, so they desperately want the Democrats to come up with a strategy to do the dirty work for them.
The Republicans are finally beginning to realize that Marjorie Taylor Greene and other recently elected QAnon-supporting pols are a self-created problem. The GOP redrew congressional maps in a way that also planted the seeds of its own destruction.
The Republicans now understand that carving out hyper-red districts may make Democratic challenges less likely, but it also makes a Republican incumbent especially vulnerable to primary challengers who aren’t afraid to appeal to the fringiest, craziest elements of the GOP. In the coming years, the Marjorie Taylor Greenes of the party will become more ascendant, but less likely to win national and statewide races.
If I were someone the Democrats were inclined to take advice from, I would encourage them not to push for anything more severe than a censure resolution against Ms. Greene.
If the GOP is truly morally vacant enough to punish Rep. Liz Cheney for voting her conscience during the second impeachment of Donald Trump while appointing Ms. Greene to the House Education Committee, then Republicans deserve the political oblivion that awaits them.
Meanwhile, we’ll all be scanning the sky for the next burst of Jewish laser beams, because, well, you never know ...
