KRIEGER\u00a0| Bay Area News Group<br \/>\nThe Mercury News<br \/>\nPUBLISHED: December 3, 2018 at 5:00 am | UPDATED: December 3, 2018 at 9:07 am<\/p>\n<p>As investigators conduct a painstaking probe for the causes of California\u2019s devastating wildfires, conspiracists have spawned their own theory: ignition by a secret cabal of nefarious \u201cinternationalists,\u201d including Facebook\u2019s Mark Zuckerberg and Google\u2019s Sergey Brin, who seek to run the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are hidden powers behind these calculated strikes in California,\u201d warns one YouTube video, titled \u201cAn Open Letter To the People of California.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Facebook forums, YouTube videos and Reddit threads amassing tens of thousands of views, believers swap manipulated images of \u201clight pillars\u201d from the sky \u2014 proof, they say, that rural homes were targeted to burn, forcing residents into cities, where they can be more easily controlled by shadowy forces scheming at oppression.<\/p>\n<p>People have long reached for far-flung theories to explain shocking calamities, such as the mysterious \u201cgrassy knoll\u201d assassin of President John F. Kennedy and the U.S. government\u2019s complicity in the 9\/11 attack on the World Trade Center.<\/p>\n<p>Psychologists say these theories gain traction during times of trauma because they ease uncertainty, provide a platform for personal grievances and focus blame on an outside group \u2014 usually a network of \u201celites.\u201d Suspicions are\u00a0cradled by the internet, which allows people who share those thoughts to more easily connect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhether it\u2019s wildfires, contamination of water supply or some \u2018deep state\u2019\u00a0 takeover \u2014 all these beliefs satisfy the need to make sense of a threatening and anxious world,\u201d said psychologist Joseph A. Vitriol, a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard University.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a new high-tech twist to the perceived plots behind California\u2019s recent Paradise,\u00a0Woolsey and Wine Country fires.\u00a0Asserting that nature could never incite a fire so fast or hot, some conspiracists say images of the light pillars reveal \u201cdirected energy weaponry\u201d that emits highly focused heat. Others say fires were ignited by drones or satellite-based lasers.<\/p>\n<p>While believers are split over the precise contours of the conspiracy, they agree that \u201cgeoengineering\u201d is behind California\u2019s parched and flammable landscape. The state\u2019s weather is being deliberately altered, they allege. Then aircraft dump \u201cchemtrails\u201d of drying agents, which are easily ignited.<\/p>\n<p>Who\u2019s behind this complex scheme? Conspiracy websites such as Infowars, run by the right-wing provocateur Alex Jones, claim it is a secret plot by the moneyed elite to make certain parts of the country off-limits to human use and impose control.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-Cube_Article\" class=\"dfp-ad dfp-Cube_Article\" data-ad-unit=\"Cube_Article\" data-google-query-id=\"CKbY0OebhN8CFQ16wQodHeEP3g\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/8013\/mercurynews.com\/news\/california-news_4__container__\"><iframe id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/8013\/mercurynews.com\/news\/california-news_4\" title=\"3rd party ad content\" name=\"google_ads_iframe_\/8013\/mercurynews.com\/news\/california-news_4\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" data-google-container-id=\"5\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Widely shared maps titled \u201cWildfires line up EXACTLY in the same path as the California High Speed Rail System\u201d offer evidence, the conspiracists claim, that the fires are a plot to move people out of the way for construction of the transit system, key to eventual state takeover.<\/p>\n<p>(The made-up fire maps\u2019 geography is off, showing that San Diego, Los Angeles, San Jose, San Francisco and Sacramento were consumed by flames.
