Conspiracy theorists ripped for saying ‘Simpsons’ predicted Maui wildfires in 2016

This “Simpsons” prediction was no laughing matter.

Conspiracy theorists have been torched on-line after crediting the seemingly clairvoyant cartoon with foretelling a wild and unfounded concept regarding the Hawaii wildfires.

Tinfoil-hatted social media denizens detailed this outlandish allegation of life imitating artwork on social media amid the wildfire catastrophe in Lahaina, Maui, which has claimed over 114 lives since Aug. 8.

Conspiracy theorists had posted snippets from a 2016 episode of the Matt Groening collection, titled “Monty Burns’ Fleeing Circus,” which depicted a beam of sunshine incinerating the city of Springfield.

They declare that this was proof of the unfounded conspiracy circulating social media that claims the Maui wildfires were caused by “directed energy weapons” with a purpose to advance the globalist climate-change agenda.

One TikToker uploaded pics of blue umbrellas that have been left miraculously intact within the inferno’s aftermath, which he linked to the blue tarp shrouding a equally untouched statue within the episode.

Evidently, this concept was notably tenuous provided that within the episode, which was not set in Hawaii, the inferno was brought on by the revealing of the aforementioned metallic statue and never a state-sponsored demise ray.

The metallic on the monument displays the sunshine of the solar like a magnifying glass, and finally ends up burning Springfield to the bottom.

To not point out that whereas an official reason behind the real-life blaze has not been introduced, investigators have deduced that {the electrical} infrastructure was broken by heavy hurricane winds blowing throughout the island.

The conspiracy nuts have been subsequently grilled on Twitter with one realist writing, “Go along with probably the most ridiculous rationalization and run with.”

“I’m reporting you for spreading misinformation,” declared one other on a video detailing the supposed energy weapons-based false flag campaign.

Thankfully, the fire is close to being 100% contained, Forbes studies. Nevertheless, along with the aforementioned casualties, almost 1,000 folks stay unaccounted for whereas the town has sustained billions of {dollars} value of injury.

This “Simpsons” prediction may need been a tasteless stretch by followers, however the comedy present has confirmed eerily prophetic prior to now.

Most lately, the doh-racle was credited with predicting the disappearance of the Titanic submersible in June and Twitter ditching the chook in favor of its new X emblem.
