Conspiracy theorists ripped over ‘Simpsons’ Maui fire claim

This “Simpsons” prediction was no laughing matter.

Conspiracy theorists have been torched online after crediting the seemingly clairvoyant cartoon with foretelling a wild and unfounded theory concerning the Hawaii wildfires.

Tinfoil-hatted social media denizens detailed this outlandish allegation of life imitating art on social media amid the wildfire disaster 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 series, titled “Monty Burns’ Fleeing Circus,” which depicted a beam of light incinerating the town of Springfield.

They claim that this was evidence of the unfounded conspiracy circulating social media that claims the Maui wildfires were caused by “directed energy weapons” in order to advance the globalist climate-change agenda.

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

Needless to say, this theory was particularly tenuous given that in the episode, which was not set in Hawaii, the inferno was caused by the unveiling of the aforementioned metal statue and not a state-sponsored death ray.

The metal on the monument reflects the light of the sun like a magnifying glass, and ends up burning Springfield to the ground.

Not to mention that while an official cause of the real-life blaze has not been announced, investigators have deduced that the electrical infrastructure was damaged by heavy hurricane winds blowing across the island.

The conspiracy nuts were subsequently grilled on Twitter with one realist writing, “Go with the most ridiculous explanation and run with.”

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

Thankfully, the fire is close to being 100% contained, Forbes reports. However, in addition to the aforementioned casualties, nearly 1,000 people remain unaccounted for while the city has sustained billions of dollars worth of damage.

This “Simpsons” prediction might have been a tasteless stretch by fans, but the comedy show has proven eerily prophetic in the past.

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