A militia known as the "Veterans on Patrol" aims to dismantle weather radars, and KWTV News 9 has discovered that it's part of a larger conspiracy theory surrounding weather manipulation.
Amid false conspiracies about the floods in Texas being part of a kind of cloud seeding attack, organization founder Michael Lewis Arthur Meyer confirmed to News 9 that they were "absolutely" working to target Oklahoma radars.
The comments come "days after an individual vandalized News 9s weather radar," the report said.

(15,979 posts)This rampant nutty conspiracy theory spread is causing untold damage. It doesn't help that we have nuts like these in the gov't.: MTG being one.

(2,147 posts)So...active in different states, not just starting up this year, and willing to go in to areas after weather disasters and lie about who they are.
Last year, Meyer was part of an effort in North Carolina after Hurricane Helene for posing as an aid worker to encourage locals to tear down cell towers and attack the military.
That goes a bit beyond local kooks vandalizing important infrastructure.

I'm surprised they haven't accused prominent Democrats of kidnapping and trafficking the kids at camp.

Id bet that 10 year of them running amok would have a signficiant portion of even the trump supporters clamoring for a return to science, fact, social good based governance.
Of course, we have already lost all of our social safety and control of our government to fascism, let alone what is coming next. Getting it back wont be easy even if we could get to 80% of the citizens clamoring for a turn to the left.
