Georgia Republican lawmaker also claims she didn’t know Rothschild family, of her ‘space laser’ theory, was Jewish
Republican US House member Marjorie Taylor Greene has said she believes in demons, surmising that they might be aliens who fell from heaven, and claims to have been unaware that key figures in the antisemitic space lasers conspiracy she floated were Jewish.
She made those bizarre remarks as a guest on Friday on HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher after winning some fans among Democrats who once loathed her – yet had come to appreciate how the far-right Georgia representative had recently broken with Republicans on various issues. Those include healthcare, Gaza, the federal government shutdown that began on 1 October and the handling of documents pertaining to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who was friends with Donald Trump before the latter man won two presidencies.
Greene’s appearance on Maher’s show perhaps made evident the ideological distance between the congresswoman – who has conspicuously avoided directly criticizing Trump himself – and some of her newer, cross-aisle admirers.
So she is converting to Scientology? Cause that basically the same thing. Evil space alien are in your body and you need to pay lots of money to the church to exorcise them from your soul and body.
Religion is a form of insanity, but I think she would have managed to be insane without religion.
Religion can definitely drive people insane but I’d say in our day and age is more likely the already insane are drawn to it.
Well I’m pretty sure I have ghosts in my blood and should do cocaine about it.
Cocaine embiggens the blood and wrinklecates the brain for do bettering.
There’s the stupid.
I hated actually hearing positive views from that bog troll. She’s a horrid thing and we should always remember that.
Exactly, thank you.
I wasn’t willing to give her a free pass on turning against Trump and co, because she has made absolutely zero effort towards so much as acknowledging the transphobic spew she was barfing out on government time.
Annnnd she’s back.
I was going to comment basically the same:
“There it is, the timeline is starting to correct itself”
I wonder which future historical figure was murdered or allowed to live by time travellers in order to get us back on the evil timeline.
Kirk
Thank goodness, I was beginning to think that reality itself was unraveling.
Now, are these space demons jewish and do they have lasers?
She kept saying things I agreed with. It was starting to get a little unsettling. Here’s the batshit crazy I’ve come to know and expect. And somehow this level of insanity is deemed worthy enough to make decisions for millions of people… <sigh>
What a shock. The Jewish Space Laser person believes aliens are real and that they are actually demons.
I’ve heard that it’s a common evangelical belief. They believe that humans are the only sentient species created by God, so anything else would have to be Satanic. Makes perfect sense if you’re fucking delusional.
You know I figured if we found extraterrestrial life it would result in a massive crisis of faith for every religion, don’t know why it never occurred to me that that is 100% what they’d think if we found extraterrestrial life.
Religions are very adaptable. At least the ones that survive long times. Simply need to reinterpret scripture to include the new information, even claim to predict it. I think there’s a certain percentage or type of people who need some kind of religious structure to deal with life, it’s a biological thing. Being skeptical and setting aside your own beliefs for analysis is not an easy thing to do.
Of course it could go the other way and aliens confirm that the religion is true, just maybe that our records of events is off a bit. Cue the joke about the aliens saying they absolutely know Jesus, he comes by every year because they give him cookies or chocolate, and then ask why he doesn’t come to Earth regularly, what did we give him?
Well, not all religions. Mormons would probably see it as more proof that they’re right. They believe that God made multiple planets with sentient species. Besides that, gets a little bit conflicting. Then there’s the Heaven’s Gates. The weird alien obsessed ones. Probably a couple more, but those are the only ones I can think of. Oh, and Buddhism. Maybe. I don’t know much, but I don’t think that aliens existing conflicts with any of its principles.
As a former evangelical fundamentalist, I can confirm. It’s a common belief. That’s what I believed once upon a time. Fifteen years ago I would have argued with you about it.
Also former fundie… and yeah there was a popular teenage book series when I was growing up. I think it was called “the forbidden doors”. And yeah basically a long series that basically fell into the same pattern over and over, and yeah in short, basically it’s “no that house isn’t haunted, it’s a demon, we need to get right with god and cast it out”… “No that isn’t an alien it’s a demon, we need to get right with god and cast it out”. etc…
I never heard that about aliens (probably grew up in too podunk a place for anyone to bring it up) but 100% heard this about hauntings. Anything related to ghosts is demonic or satanic.
Along with any bad thing that happens. Alcoholism? Demon got him. Accidentally killed a kid? Demon. Purposely killed and ate a kid? Demon. Spilled breakfast cereal? Demon. Don’t like the way someone looks? A demon is probably in them, you can see it behind their eyes. Cheat on your wife? Demon. Get caught getting split open by two dudes in a truck stop bathroom? Demon. “Wrestle with gay thoughts” to the point where you think homosexuality is a choice? Well, thoughts of sweaty men showering together were sent directly by Satan himself.
For a bunch of folks who say you should take personal responsibility they sure blame a lot of shit on demons.
I’ve also seen diseases and ailments being described as the fault of demons. High blood pressure? Demon. Allergies? Demon. Cancer? Demon. It’s just crazy to me.
Stay tuned, crazy gal has fits of sanity once in a while.
So, I suspect this was a psyop to get Congress behind funding a number of surveillance projects, but the typical grifters and some hack Republicans who can’t find anything else to raise their profile quickly latched on. As soon as Lunatic got involved I knew it would turn into Religious fodder. These people are too kooky. Shameless and cringe and kooky.
There’s that crazy bitch we know and love. These past couple of weeks of her acting reasonably? I knew that wouldn’t last.
Even a broken clock is wrong 22 hours a day
That’s not quite what she said: she basically said she openly believes in batshit religious nonsense, and as such would have no trouble believing unknown phenomena are figures appearing in her batshit beliefs.
The keyword in all of this is batshit. How she won an election, I’ll never know.
Because a significant proportion of the country is also batshit.
Can’t stop here. Batshit country!
She’s been watching Dandadan!
…and now the intro music is stuck in my head.
Creepy Nuts just doesn’t miss. They nailed the Mashle opening too.
But aliens and spirits are enemies in dandadan. Spirits are what keep aliens from invading.
Well that’s what Okarun thinks, and there’s a difference between the yokai in his theory and spirits, but at least some aliens are repulsed by spirit barriers so there’s an implication that there’s at least a possibility that aliens are just yokai from space
MJT mixing mythical creates from different fiction series. WTF next? Spock and Yoda in the same episode?
…just because she’s spouts crazy doesn’t mean she can’t be a useful idiot, see Donald Trump… …she must be steered…
…and where are the Epstein files?..
One of my favorite Clarke books. A quick read, too.
