WASHINGTON (AP) – Among the many posts being unearthed amid renewed scrutiny of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s social media history is one in which the new congresswoman implicated “Rothschild Inc” in connection with a deadly forest fire that, she wrote, was started using laser beams from space.

Greene, a freshman Republican from Georgia who made waves during the campaign for her promotion of the QAnon conspiracy theory, made the accusation in a 2018 Facebook post that is no longer visible. In the post, Greene offers a mix of evidence-free speculation as to what caused the 2018 Camp Fire, which burned more than 150,000 acres and killed 85 people.
In reality, the fire was determined to have been started by electrical wiring belonging to Pacific Gas and Electric.
In her post, Greene noted that Roger Kimmel, a board member at Pacific Gas and Electric, was also the vice-chairman of Rothschild Inc. Greene also wrote that PG&E had invested in technology to beam solar energy from space down to Earth. She claimed in the post that that technology had caused the fire. The post was first reported on Thursday by Media Matters for America, a liberal media watchdog.
Suggesting that the Rothschild family is conspiring to cause damage for profit is a longstanding anti-Semitic conspiracy theory, and one that is baked into the QAnon mythology.
Greene wrote that “there are too many coincidences to ignore.”
Greene has expressed overt and more subtle anti-Semitic theories over time. In 2018 she shared a video, also on Facebook, that lambasted “Zionist supremacists” and advanced the “great replacement” theory, which falsely alleges that Jews are conspiring to undermine white-majority countries by bringing in non-white immigrants.
Like others who have amplified the QAnon theory, Greene frequently calls George Soros, a Hungarian-American Jewish billionaire and mega-donor, an enemy of the people.
A video from 2019 shows her following Parkland, Florida, shooting survivor David Hogg as he walks in Washington, D.C., and accusing him of being funded by Soros. Fred Guttenberg, the Jewish father and gun-control advocate whose daughter Jaime was killed at Parkland, first shared the video this week.
In recent days, Green has also come under scrutiny for suggesting in the past that the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, was a “false flag” event. She has also advanced a conspiracy theory about the Sept. 11 attacks.
Greene amplified some of these ideas in Facebook posts that she deleted this week, shortly after joining Congress. It is unclear whether the Camp Fire post was among the recently deleted posts, or whether she made it unavailable previously.
Multiple Democrats are seeking to expel Greene from Congress, citing her expression of conspiracy theories and past social media posts threatening violence against lawmakers. They include Rep. Lois Frankel of Florida who said, “Many members of Congress are afraid to be in the building with her.” But a two-thirds majority of Congress would need to approve for that to happen.
Republican leaders have appointed Greene to the House Education Committee.
Hey VIN, try viewing the’replies’ below it ‘aint working.
Unfortunately, there is growing evidence that 5G microwaves that are being beamed from space do cause a drying-out of much forestry.
This was documented many years ago, in researching effects of the US military HAARP radar installations across the North American continent–and of similar high-radio frequency installations elsewhere in the world. Miles and miles of tree growth along the signal lines die out and become subject to disease and parasites and this is shown to cause forest fires as well. These signals weaken the trees’ cell structures and their ability to generate healthy sap.
Believe it or not, this has been widely written about by anti-5G proponents, and 5G has been banned from hundreds of municipalities around the globe, with many other cases against local councils pending. Fiber optic is a viable alternative, and 5G and even earlier cellular tech has a wide body of evidence of being carcinogenic, even at fairly low exposures–just look at the legal health warnings on any cellphone–it is debatable how close to one’s body a cellphone is safe–different standards for different regions around the world–and none of these are actually healthily conservative!
Big deal. The secular JINOs are causing worlds problems. When Jews who are reform support gay marriage and abortions on demand it causes destruction from Shenmayim.
Ok so firtsly anti soros is not anti Semitic and neither is accusing someone of being funded by him. it may be wacky and crazy but not anti Semitic.
Secondly, I know this will sound funny but I think its. true. We live in kind of this fast paced fast forward tweeting and comments all day long on social media. its often just a fun hobby and loose tounges. You can’t hold people accoutable for this kind of stuff. Its all just culture like. it doesn’t define the person. Look at her picture and she looks very normal and classy to me. This is ridcilous and hyper nonsense. we need to relax.
