Eclipse without protection: not even once.
I mean, that wasn't a conspiracy theory, her religion lead her to do that. Raving about the apocalypse and trying to get raptured and shit
The nutjobs are the real idealists, and yet they always hate the left wing and support the me-me-me guys. What gives?
Darwin hath spoken.
At least she was kind enough to get herself killed in the process. Fucking nutters are on conspiracy steroids since the pan.
She got the order wrong. She should have started with herself
Under the Ayoka moniker, Johnson issued a torrent of antisemitic screeds, conspiracy theories and alarmist warnings on Thursday and Friday. These included a repost of a debunked apocryphal speech attributed to Ben Franklin about how Jewish people “depreciated” societies wherever they settled, a video about Jews promoting pedophilia in the entertainment industry, and unproven theories about the origin of COVID-19.

A great reminder that not every astrologist is after your money. Some are also just complete maniacs.
Reminds me of that flat-earther Behind The Curve documentary. Such conspiracy theorist and woowoo believers basically fall into the grifted, and the grifters.

Definitely a grifter.
In her defense she was left unsupervised
