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 9’s weather radar," the report said.

Hey twinkle toes did you ever think in your world that what you are doing are hurting people, like my family members in these state's.........did you not think for one minute that the weather reporting when you grew up saved your life.............or are you that fucking stupid......

1. Ok, let's say they destroy all radars and it rains and there are flash floods. Then what?

15. same as everythinng else

1, it didn't happen
2. it is 6d chess
3 its biden's fault.

[questionseverything]

2. As climate change continues and the storms become larger, more erratic and

Happen more often, we are in deep do do

[harumph]

3. That would be an act of terrorism. No?

What happens to terrorists caught in the act. Anymore, I guess it depends.

11. Yes...............he should be charged with attempted murder..............

[harumph]

16. Oh, at the very least....

4. A country can't survive with so many stupid people.

[turbinetree]

10. And over 30% of the population is in that basket...............

5. The stupid in this country is mind numbing.

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.

6. Same guy/group posed as aid workers in NC last year.

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.

9. They are what is termed a menace to society..........

[mercuryblues]

7. Yes, they are that fucking stupid.

[turbinetree]

8. This is just amazing............on how this bunch of maga are this fucking stupid...............

[mercuryblues]

14. They were carefully taught.

This country went from being one of the highest educated population to bottom tier. It started with a vengeance with Reagan.

12. Heritage Foundation is behind the decimation.

They believe that the weather data and warning systems are for climate change.

[Ilsa]

13. Leave Oklahoma without radar when they are part

of tornado alley? Yeah real smart. Last I heard, weather manipulation is pretty "iffy" and very expensive.

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

17. Republicans

Have some sort of mental disorder. Its pervasive in them. They are seriously mentally ill.

18. Ya know, i Sometimes wonder if we havnt done too much

To protect the average citizen from these folks.

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.

19. Are they gonna shoot down the Commie rain clouds?

[Cheezoholic]

20. There are some around me that welcome the Windfarm as they believe they blow the storms apart as they approach

I am not kidding one bit. I busted out laughing when someone at the local store told me that. I stopped when I realized they were serious. Then I pointed at them and laughed even harder
