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.

      Do you believe in Jan 6’s insurrection?

      How do you feel about MK Ultra? Echelon?

      Or or that MLK was killed by the government? (Or rather that federal agencies were involved to some degree.)

      Most Americans believe in a deity I call “the magical sky daddy”. Are they all mentally ill? What about everyone else who believes in a theistic deity?

      The vast majority of humans believe in some form of discrete spiritual world; with absolutely zero real evidence of its existence. Are they delusional or am I the one delusion because I don’t believe?

      If I’m the delusion one… how is it decided? They’re all so contradictory. Majority vote? Guess we’re Buddhists.

      Random lot? Guess we’re some form of shamanism.

      Maybe we cycle through? Can’t wait for the cult of Dionysus. I hear their parties are wild.

      It doesn’t take a mental illness to perceive the world in a way different than you do. And if it’s everyone else who is insane… I got news for you.

      Even if you’re taking about things like the moon landing being a hoax or Covid vaccines. That doesn’t require mental illness. Most wouldn’t even have anything particularly noteworthy. (Maybe anxiety. Stress. Depression. Things we all have to some degree- most don’t need intervention,)

      You’re dehumanizing people when you blame things like conspiracies on mental illness. It’s that simple.

      Maybe she was. Maybe she wasn’t. We don’t know that.

      What we do know? She had a monetized YT channel. She was a snake oil saleswoman. Maybe she genuinely believed all that… but I doubt it.
