Conspiracy Theorists Think a Town Destroyed by Wildfire Was Decimated by a Massive Laser

The shirtless, grey bearded man meandered amidst the burned out of husk of what was a B.C. village while excitedly speaking to his Facebook Live audience. He spoke about how suspicious it was that some trees didn’t burn while others did and walked up to a greyed and ashy collection of burned out cars and trucks abandoned by the residents who had to flee immediately as a sudden wildfire ripped through the place they called home.
As the man put it, it looked like a “fuckin’ war zone.” He was in the midst of explaining how these “cars aren't really flammable” when he spotted it, a fruit-bearing tree. A tree that was just what he needed to prove a conspiracy that a giant laser may have actually burned down the village.
“That tree still has leaves on it, those cherries might actually be tasty," he said and marched up. Sadly when he approached the cherry tree, the fruit did “not look tasty” and therefore was unable to support his cause.
The man is just one of the many conspiracy theorists focused on Lytton where, on June 30, a ferocious wildfire forced the residents to flee at a moment's notice. The fire proceeded to burn down 90 percent of the village and two residents died. Just days before the fire Lytton garnered international headlines after setting multiple records for the hottest temperature in Canadian history. An investigation into the fire's cause is still ongoing with a clear focus on the possibility that the fire was started by a passing train.
Like almost every newsworthy event these days, the devastating fire is being used as proof of nefarious conspiracies that, of course, touch on globalists and vaccinations. Some conspiracy theorists are going so far as to journey to the small village to search the wreckage for evidence and try to interview the evacuees who are trying to piece their lives back together. Their evidence for the conspiracies ranges from the conventional, ‘look how weird it is that this tree burned and this one didn’t; to the downright inane, a fire information worker's name is Forrest Tower and that name is so apt therefore the entire situation must be fake.
