Mother who pushed kids from moving car, killed partner was astrology influencer disturbed by eclipse

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.

In her defense she was left unsupervised

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.

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.

At least she was kind enough to get herself killed in the process. Fucking nutters are on conspiracy steroids since the pan.

triclops6 ,

She got the order wrong. She should have started with herself

unreasonabro ,

I mean, that wasn’t a conspiracy theory, her religion lead her to do that. Raving about the apocalypse and trying to get raptured and shit

The nutjobs are the real idealists, and yet they always hate the left wing and support the me-me-me guys. What gives?

I would say you need to be at least in some form out of your Mind, so that might be a Qualification.
