Hawaii wildfires: 'Directed energy weapon' and other false claims go viral

False claims about the deadly wildfires in Hawaii - including that shadowy forces orchestrated the disaster with a laser beam - have gained traction online.

The misleading posts come from a variety of sources and accounts, but generally imply that "elites" or government agencies deliberately started the fires.

One video viewed 10 million times claims to show a large explosion in Maui just before the fires.

But the video was originally a viral clip shared on TikTok in May showing a transformer explosion in Chile.

An image of a church on fire in Hawaii has been viewed 9 million times, with people claiming it shows a laser beam rising from the church into the sky.

However, the image has been digitally altered. No laser beam or ray of light can be seen in the original Associated Press photo, which shows the Waiola Church in Lahaina in flames on 8 August.

Two other false images have been racking up huge numbers of views.

One shows a fireball and a bright streak of light rising up towards the night sky. It, too, has been accompanied by claims that wildfires are not a natural phenomenon.

Alongside the "directed energy weapon" rumours, speculation spread in viral posts that some of the island's rich inhabitants and second-home owners deliberately started the wildfires to grab valuable land in Lahaina.

One viral video includes claims by a podcaster that native landowners in Maui have refused to sell land to investment management companies and rich locals. He notes the false "directed energy weapon" rumours before going on to speculate that there might be something to them because news outlets have called the rumours "conspiracy theories".

Truth be told, it wasn't any lasers, coral reefs, propellers, or even a shark, it was the Brady's tiki idol that caused all of this.

There is no traction on the internet, just a bog that tries to drag everybody down.

This asshole never tires, and why should he when there are plenty of gullible fools in the UFO religion that will fall far it no matter how blatant his lies are.

Geller claims his ‘powers’ were gifted by extraterrestrials - despite the fact that his tricks can be replicated using stage magic techniques. Geller attests that he was sent to earth by aliens from a spaceship 53,000 light years away.

Taking to Twitter, Geller shared a photo showing alien corpses lined up in a morgue. He captioned it, “My dear friends, I cannot at this stage reveal any information about this photo, but please be patient until I am allowed to say more if at all. Meanwhile I am very curious what you all think about this picture you might notice something I have overlooked. Remember I have seen alien bodies in a NASA refrigerator room with Dr Wernher von Braun and captain Edgar Mitchel who walked on the moon. There was a CIA scientist with us.”

It turns out, there’s really nothing to reveal about the photo. It was soon tagged as being taken from season five, episode one of The X-Files. ‘Proof’ = debunked.

Uri Geller in a nut shell (an appropriate receptacle):

There’s been a bit of chatter on the net that Maui fires were a false flag operation because the Obama estate came through completely unscathed - not so much as a single blade of grass was burned. The implication being that the Obamas orchestrated the fires to drive down property values.

Of course another explanation is that the Obama’s home is on Oahu, 120 miles away.

You'll notice that nobody gave him a good answer.

There's, like, this whole other island between the two.
