“That is Terrorism on our own soil,” insisted one. Normies replying to the post tried to offer a reality check, that the video actually depicted a fire-fighting drone engaged in “back burning” - “common practice to control/manage forest fires.” (For more on the reality of fighting fire with fire read here.)īut other conspiratorial commenters were undeterred. “Looks like they opted for a drone with a flamethrower instead.” “It seems Canada isn’t sophisticated enough to use Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs),” Peters wrote. On June 6, Peters posted a new video, of what looks like a remote-controlled helicopter drizzling napalm on a forest.
Peters used his Telegram account on June 5 to blame the wildfires on government weaponry.Ĭonsistency is the hobgoblin of little conspiracy theorists, but big players like Peters are ever eager to embrace the newest insanity. Why buy into lightning strikes when you can believe in “directed energy weapons?” Stew Peters is a far-right media host and conspiracy monger, infamous for his unhinged film claiming Covid-19 is caused by synthetic snake venom. So what really caused those fires? Was it space lasers? Antifa arsonists? The deep-state cabal? Aliens?!īelow we break down the latest FUBAR theories about why Canadian forests are ablaze, Americans are hunkered down in their houses, and the smoke has blotted out the sun. Indeed, the tinfoil-hat brigade has already ginned up myriad conspiracy theories to cast this disaster, not as an act of God, but part of a nefarious plot - or two, or three. The official explanation for these strange conflagrations - lightning strikes across unusually dry forests, igniting more than 100 out-of-control blazes in Quebec alone - hits many smooth-brained denizens of the internet as a LiTTle. Wildfire smoke from Canada is now blanketing the East Coast, creating some of the worst air quality in the world.
