Danielle Johnson was worried about the eclipse.
The astrology influencer and “divine healer” who went by the name Danielle Ayoka online called the upcoming astronomical event “the epitome of spiritual warfare” and told people they needed to “pick a side,” in posts on X on April 4.
Less than three days later, in the early morning before the partial solar eclipse, Johnson left a trail of tragedy in her wake: her partner stabbed to death in the kitchen of the family apartment in Woodland Hills, her 8-month-old baby dead after being pushed from Johnson’s moving Porsche Cayenne on the 405, and Johnson herself dead after crashing her car on Pacific Coast Highway in Redondo Beach.
There are 2-5 solar eclipses every year and people still went nuts and committed murder this time.
Total solar eclipses happen every one to three years…
Also, people go nuts and kill people every damn day
The sun exists every single day, too… Hmmm 🤔
The answer is clear. The sun causes violence.

To be fair, THE sun is a 𝒹ℯ𝒶𝒹𝓁𝓎 ʟᴀᴢ0ʀ.
And it’s in space. I’m pretty sure the Jews tried to get rid of it though…
(you don’t see Ra jokes around here often enough imo)
Sun is closest to a Lovecraftian Great Old One that we have out there
Kill the sun!
Californians are trying. With that Cloud salting test they did secretly recently.
Should be pretty easy. Throw a ball of iron in large enough to stop fusion.
Edit: NM. That doesn’t work it seems

A Sunlight Maggot.
Praise the sun.
all I really know is that sunshine is unwholesome. This time of year especially. Every damn year.
Sunshine seeps into people’s brains. Nothing wholesome every seeps. it causes their wits to dribble out their ears, and then they’re standing around being all like “oh this is loverly”… until blam. They get ran over by a car being driven by another sun-addled dolt.

Yep. The sad fact is that if there was no eclipse, she would have rationalized it differently and blamed something else.
Perhaps a storm, the full moon, the spoiled milk in her fridge, etc.
I’m going with meteor shower.
Also people just kill other people every damn hour without going nuts.
And on top of that, they’re predictable hundreds of years in advance. We’ve known exactly when and where this eclipse was going to happen since before her grandparents were born. But somehow it’s a bad omen.
We know the position of the planets know to the second. Still not a single astrologer predicted COVID except in the usual vague “There might be a challenge ahead” kind of predictions.
Esotericism is absolute cancer. A lot of those people don’t even understand that eclipses are very localized events. They’re moronically stupid. Even more so if they’re people of color, because this whole subculture is full of Neonazis.
Bro there are tons of reasons to hate New Age without pretending it’s a front for the Alt Right
I kinda agree but the bit where she was intensely antisemitic does fit pretty well with what he’s saying
Alt Right = far right. No need to support this rebranding either. And sorry but it is literally riddled with it. Ever wondered why those aliens from the Pleiades are white with blue eyes and blonde hair? Or why their little communities / villages don’t accept people of color? Or why their conventions & books are full of Nazi symbolism? The “Greys” & lizard people are also often behind the whole Pizzagate / child eating Qanon bullshit. And don’t even get me started on the antisemitism… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esoteric_Nazism
I unfortunately have way too much personal experiences with this whole topic to not call it by the name.
Bro Hitler liked dogs, painted, and ate vegetables, are Dogs, Veggies, and The Arts white supremacist too?
Ever wonder why The Scream was so afraid? This was his response to learning about the passage of civil rights! And 101 Dalmatians? It’s actually about how Cruella DeVille was trying to stand up to the Far Right! /s
Jokes aside: Look I get that Nazi groups have latched onto New Age ideas, but pretending New Age is inherently fascist in and of itself is a tired talking point that I’m just tired of entertaining. New Age is bullshit, but we should attack it for its empty platitudes, rejection of evidence-based medicine in favor of what boils down to “Ignore the problem hard enough and it will go away”, and how it enables sufferers of mental illness to give into their delusions instead of seeking help…
When we say it’s secretly a Nazi thing, we just sound completely insane and like we’re the ones peddling conspiracy nonsense.

They didn’t just “latch onto it” my guy.

And its Nazism. I don’t see why you struggle so hard to make an exception for this one thing. I mean I do see why, I just think it makes you part of the problem.

It’s not really a secret. Here’s another one that’s spreading and there’s many such groups all over the world, founding private communes to indoctrinate kids and new members to spread their ideology. If you don’t understand how big of an issue this is then I really don’t know what else to tell you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringing_Cedars’_Anastasianism
all that esoterica garbage is seeping with conspiracy theories, also og nazis were deep into mysticism too
Wait, do you mean that non-whites go crazy because they’re neonazis themselves? I’m a bit confused, as I know very little about this subculture but it sounds counterintuitive.
They’re saying non-whites are especially crazy to be part of this sub-group because the sub-group is full of neo-nazis.
What TheDoozer said. If you’re from the US, it’s like black people or LGBT folks supporting Trump.
There won’t be another total eclipse in the contiguous US until 2044. Still no reason to kill someone.
America!
It’s more like eclipses occasionally happen at the same time people commit murder…
Holy fuck that was a lot.
Probably the most work an influencer ever performed in one day.

I want you to know that you whore yourself out to your employer just the same.

It’s all happening on X!
It’s happening on every platform, don’t look for one to blame
Yeah, I was mainly just mocking Linda Yaccarino’s attempt to force “It’s all happening on X” as a catchphrase while the site spirals down the drain. That being said, while the amount of crazy and hatred seems to be going up on every platform, X seems to be outperforming most other sites at becoming a toxic cesspit.
A great reminder that not every astrologist is after your money. Some are also just complete maniacs.
She was driving a Porsche, definitely was after people’s money too.
She also offered a $6.99 per month home purifying cleanse that stripped people’s residences of “stagnant energy,” citing better sleep and an increased “vibration” as some of the benefits. Activating the service was simple: purchase the cleanse, get a piece of paper and title it “home purifying cleanse” and write your address on it. Then tuck it away in a safe place, she wrote.
Definitely a grifter.
Reminds me of that flat-earther Behind The Curve documentary. Such conspiracy theorist and woowoo believers basically fall into the grifted, and the grifters. Those outcast and outsiders who lack critical-thinking skills and who find community in like-minded eccentrics, and the ones just exploiting the gullible for money.
Similar with maga cult, too.
Why does anyone need an “astrology influencer”
Desperate escapism?
This is certiably a phrase / concept the world would be better off without.
Takes two of my least favorite things, mysticism and internet points, and rolls them into a real shit sandwich
Here’s the cool part: they don’t
Secular people, or people without religious membership, tend to look for substitutes.
We need normalization of post-graduate secular community organizations that have a set schedule of yearly events, and regular, ideology based meeting times. The Freemasons kind of come to mind, but they have their own set of historical issues. Something like co-ed fraternities for non-college going adults, but without superstitious concepts associated with membership. The only criteria should be “no conning other people” or something similar.
The Satanic temple has done a good job of framing a reasonable humanitarian charter, but I don’t like their religious movement framing. Supernatural concepts and superstition needs to be removed from such community membership.
She certainly was under the influence of mental illness…
A certain group of people tends to believe in this stuff more than others.
Those poor babies. Who the fuck throws an 8 month old and 9 year old out of a moving vehicle on the freeway?! What a monster. I hope that 9 year old girl is able to heal from this… by some miracle. Such a senseless tragedy.
They won’t. People don’t recover from things like this. Just hope they can find a loving relative to live with and come to terms with it later.
Sadly, I’m sure you’re right about that.
Some serious mental illness
In her defense she was left unsupervised
Anyone who unironically begins a statement with “WAKE UP” all in caps like that can safely be assumed to, shall we say, have a tenuous grasp on reality.
WAKE UP the sea surface temperature anomaly is far exceeding last year’s and last year’s was record breaking.
Don’t look
updown!It still implies you’re the only person aware of it and not like that very article on global temps was on the front page today. So yeah, it actually does make you seem a bit crazy.
WAKE THE FUCK UP SAMURAI, We Have a City To Burn.
Adding “the fuck” or “mother fucker” changes it, I think.
Yeah. I’ve noticed the most boring people tend to have the most valuable things to say.
It’s those who oversensationalize things that are trying to take you for a ride.
Social media doesn’t necessiarially cause mental health issues, but it definitely dumps a tanker truck of gasoline on any spark of mental illness.

We have heard it before.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightfall_(Asimov_novelette_and_novel)#Plot_summary
Nightfall is a few levels above an eclipse on Earth. I finally got the idea that Asimov was going for when playing Elite Dangerous and visiting the core, seeing millions of stars vs. what we see in our solar system. It is a bit maddening.
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.
This is qanon shit. Don’t know why OP didn’t include it in their excerpts of the article.
I didn’t include it because it wasn’t in the first three paragraphs. My excerpt is literally the beginning of the article.
…yeah, I don’t have words for this one past “wtf?!”
I looked at a Twitter post she made, and that girl is fucking gonzo.
To quote Ray Finkle’s father: “The engines running, there’s just no one behind the wheel.”
Well she’s dead. So yes, literally.
