Mother who pushed kids from moving car, killed partner was astrology influencer disturbed by eclipse
Danielle Johnson, the mother who killed her husband and pushed her child out of a moving car on the 405 freeway was an astrology influencer who posted about being afraid of the total solar eclipse on Monday.
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
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.
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..
Under the Ayoka moniker, Johnson issued a torrent of antisemitic screeds, conspiracy theories and alarmist warnings on April 4 and 5. 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.
Yeah I'm gonna say that mental illness played a part in this.
Also apparently the kid that pushed out of the car survived. I hope they're able to handle it.
Wtf is everyone hating on jews for? Wasn't Jesus a jew?
...the only ones who can provide an identity to the nation are its enemies. Thus at the root of the Ur-Fascist psychology there is the obsession with a plot, possibly an international one. The followers must feel besieged. The easiest way to solve the plot is the appeal to xenophobia. But the plot must also come from the inside: Jews are usually the best target because they have the advantage of being at the same time inside and outside. In the U.S., a prominent instance of the plot obsession is to be found in Pat Robertson’s The New World Order, but, as we have recently seen, there are many others.
Jewish communities are often insular, which leads to an impression of otherness. Orthodox Jews may not frequent non-jewish run restaurants or other businesses due to religious restrictions/ pressure (i.e dietary restrictions). Often, those communities congregate in the same neighborhoods, within walking distance of synagogues and schools (prohibitions against driving on the Sabbath). There is pressure to frequent businesses and professional services of those neighbors. Also, the closer you live to someone, the more likely you are to have a relationship with those people (propinquity), which strengthens community integration. They are a minority religion, with obstacles to new participants joining. They may dress in identifiable ways. Wrap all of that together and you have a group of people that are often easily identified and perhaps perceived as "too good for" my restaurant, or my store or my school....etc... they become easy targets for hate.
Ironically, almost everyone else does the same thing, it's just less noticable especially in larger cities or towns. But go to any small town, and it'll be easier to see the similarities. Again people's relationships are strongly informed by religion and propinquity... But because they are a blue eyed 'merican, who never misses the baptist sermon on sunday, and wouldn't be caught dead in Pam's hair salon because word on the street is she might be gay, they are seen as "normal."
that’s just hate. That’s what hate looks like.
with more than 100,000 followers on X who liked her increasingly worrying messages.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
…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.
*was
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?
Darwin hath spoken.
Jesus christ!
At least she was kind enough to get herself killed in the process. Fucking nutters are on conspiracy steroids since the pan.
She got the order wrong. She should have started with herself
Eclipse without protection: not even once.
Mother who pushed kids from moving car, killed partner was a crazy fucking bitch.
I hate when they throw in superfluous words to make the title sound more intelligent
You're right. Your version is completely devoid of intelligence.
Lol is that why my dumbass joke got downvoted? People really think I'm trying to say this sounds more intelligent?
