QAA Podcast - Storms Upon Us (Premium E263) Sample

Episode Date: October 14, 2024

Conspiracy theorists are finally admitting that human beings DO have an impact on climate change. But it’s not our ever-increasing carbon footprint, no, it’s actually just a very specific group of people who have unlocked the technology to CONTROL the weather – and direct it at their political enemies. In this episode we break down the multitude of conspiracy theories surrounding recent hurricanes Helene and Milton, and Liv threatens to steal a hurricane patent from Bill Gates (we’re all rooting for her).

Keep mehury-a-haar-a-o-oh-oh-oh-h-oh-oh-oh-haw-h-h-h-ha-ha-ha-ha. If you're hearing this, well done, you've found a way to connect to the internet. Welcome to the QAA podcast, Premium Episode 263, storms upon us. As always, we are your host, Jake Rakitansky, Liv Aker, and Travis View. The United States, 2024, on the once blue planet Earth. Centuries of violence, greed, and chaos have reduced its inhabitants to shell-shocked husks, stuffing their dry, digital mouths with stale images of popcorn as they point their greasy fingers at one another, trying to pin whatever tragedy strikes next on their political enemy.

Massive storms rage as the less fortunate scurry for cover, picking up the dropped tatters of half-eaten snacks as they try and seek shelter. Meteorologists appear on tiny mobile screens, weeping in sheer terror as hurricanes begin to approach the mathematical limit of what the physics of this world allow. The camera fades to black. Interior, low traffic women's restroom, Capitol Building, Washington, D.C., night. So it's like a screenplay. It's not even... It's a nice tucked-away work restroom, the one you find after you've had the job for a couple years. A small slice of heaven. Well kept, with plenty of TP, and barely anyone knows it exists.

Angolan, Marjorie Taylor Green, blonde, late 50s, an idiot, is sitting in one of the stalls, her thumb hovering over a button that simply reads, Post. She hesitates for a moment. The tweet contained a theory she'd been kicking around for the last 15 years or so. Wasn't a question of whether Marjorie herself believed the statement, no. She knew it to be true. It was more an issue of whether or not the tweet would get her in trouble of some sort. Marjorie scoffed to herself.

What trouble could she possibly get into for simply stating an inarguable fact? A scientific principle as firm as the toilet paper in this low-traffic third-floor capital bathroom. Besides, she was a congresswoman. She let out a long, scathing fart, a total indictment of all that was good and true in this world before posting the tweet. Yes, they can control the weather. It's ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can't be done. Which is, this is an insane tweet, by the way. It's unreal.

Yes, they can control the weather, and it's ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can't be done. It's so, the way she phrased it is not even just they are controlling the weather. It's like, anyone who does not, who is not in this rabbit hole, is beyond the pale. You have to be a fucking moron to know that they don't control the weather. It's great that this is just, I should have seen this. that this is going to be like the far right line of a climate change. Because it's like surely you're like, you're dying of like heat stroke, you're getting hit by hurricanes, swamps have risen up to like up to New York that are like now leading

to like a bunch of diseases being transmitted that like normally wouldn't have to work. And you'd be like, well, I guess they're probably right about climate change. I guess I was wrong about that one. But no, of course not. No, you're like, who can I blame this apocalypse on? Yeah, it's not, it's not carbon emission. It is human. It is manmade.

But it's the weather machine. It's not carbon emissions. Because I guess... Yeah, that's such a funny point. Yeah. Because it's like, we're in control. It makes you feel better. Because humanity still has, like, the sort of conscious ability to affect things.

It's not like, we've lost the rails. We're not, like, skirting. Like, our car isn't hydroplaning into a, careening into a barrier. Yeah, it's funny because, like, a major principle of conspiracism is this idea of, like, it's a world ruled by telology. There's always human intention between all events. And, like, every event of history is, like, perfectly planned by some sort of malicious puppet masters. And here, like, you know, we have, like, a real kind of conspiracy.

You know, they were oil companies, and then they discovered at some point that their product, you know, if it was used, you know, without any regulation, if it was used, you know, as the population rose, it would cause a heat the planet. But they covered it up. And then they allowed it to happen anyway, and they deceive people. And so that's a, you know, you think that'd be interesting. But that's like, that's kind of like a long-term, kind of like boring conspiracy theory. They want, they want, like, they want the short-term planning. They don't believe, like, decades of, like, manipulation and deceit for the, for the sake of billions of dollars.

They want people thinking that they use the special weather manipulation tactics like a couple months ago. Marjorie snapped her phone closed. She'd recently gotten the Samsung Galaxy Z-Flip five. it was a terrific phone with lots of power. This is only the kind of joke you can get away with when Julian's taking off work. Of course. She was satisfied with herself. It was time to let her constituents know that she did in fact believe in they

and that these Jewish people did in fact control the weather. Her phone lit up with notifications. she thought, the sounds of unanimous support. Marjorie was proud that she was leading the charge amongst her fellow politicians to publicly support weather manipulation conspiracy theories. It would have been helpful for her to sound the alarm a little bit earlier as a massive hurricane had ripped through the southern United States

only days earlier, killing hundreds, including dozens in Marjorie's own state of Georgia. But, oh well. Marjorie Taylor Green opened her phone to bask in the replies, but her expression soon soured. The initial handful of replies from, other Twitter users were not positive. Dozens of former and current Republicans

who had made fortunes online breaking ties with Trump, but done little else, flooded her replies with dishes and dunks. Marjorie scoured the replies for her most blistering critic, podcaster, and sometimes journalist Travis Vue. He was nowhere to be found. In fact, Travis wasn't online at all. He was somewhere else, a place where congresswomen weren't pilled and could have posed. A place where massive trees reached,

down from the skies like the fingers of God, gently caressing Travis as he hiked the glorious trails in Sequoia National Park. Exterior, Sequoia National Park, morning. Travis's hair glistened in the early October morning. All right. Okay. That's fine. I think that I think we can do it for that.

No, I shouldn't. I shouldn't do the entire episode like a screenplay? You don't think the listeners would want that? No, no, no. I think I think this particular kind of content is best handled in the smaller doses. Correct. Well, folks, it is clear that Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green has not parted ways with her idiotic beliefs and that the broad community of conspiracy theorists that seem to be becoming more and more mainstream as this election year drags on are trying to

universally debunk weather. So this is great. I feel great. This is awesome. I'm not kidding when I say, by the way, that I saw conspiracy theories about the two horrific hurricanes online before or I saw any actual information about them. Like, the conspiracy theories came first. And although I'm not ruling out that my feed is cursed, and also that's kind of just how Twitter is now with Elon at the helm. Only on X. The Everything app.
