A militarized conspiracy theorist group believes radars are ‘weather weapons’ and is trying to destroy them

Jesus Christ. There's an actual takeover of your government that you guys can use your guns on. Cosplaying losers.

In a way they are.
You see, the weather radar stations collect data.
Data used in the manufacture of... Knowledge Bombs

Just more accelerationist bullshit

Sounds like something a MAGAt would get behind.

I mean, I can envision how plausible this sounds.

Much of this tech is hand-me-down military radar. There are adjacent tiny grains of truth, like energy weapons allegedly used to target diplomats, very slight correlations in studies on the dangers of radio/microwave-range radiation to humans, scary-sounding geoengineering papers, really scary military projects and so on.

Now, picture yourself in these people’s shoes. You have virtually no background in science. You’re in an information environment, immersed on Facebook and your neighbors and pastors and online influencers everything, where climate change is a hoax, where FEMA is corrupt and hostile, as is much of the government. Maybe chemtrail or cloud seeding theories are on your, err, radar.

…Thousands, if not millions of people live in this state.

Now the NWS is politicized and liberal. People make the connection with them and climate science.

…This is not a big jump. It’s a really tiny one.

The US has been at the edge of many similar thresholds, and we’re gonna cross a ton of them very soon.

My parents think NASA controls the weather. So this tracks.

It is amazing how much "crazy" mirrors rule 34. If you can think it up, someone has a conspiracy theory about how it is being used to harm or control the general public.

Based on the title, I could easily believe this was an accurate description of the American regime.

No I will not validate it by calling it a government.

Definitely conservatives.

The group Veterans on Patrol, which the Southern Poverty Law Center defines as an anti-government militia organization

Aww. You guys were this close to a meaningful 2A and then Doppler radars 🤣 Roll again.

This militia brought to you by AccuWeather.

I don't really think that's the case, but I am wondering if it's actually illegal to spread disinformation that might gently direct these nutjubs at specific targets.

I didn't know there is whole group of people trying to kill Gary Burghoff.

It’s unclear what the group believes the radars are doing. The NEXRAD, or “next generation radar,” network has been in place since the 1990s and detects precipitation in the atmosphere. It can also help pinpoint tornadoes and severe thunderstorms, prompting timely, life-saving warnings. The system is also used by the Federal Aviation Administration and the US Air Force

Among other actions, NOAA’s security office advises that the NWS implement a buddy system when working at remote sites and be alert for suspicious activity.

[...]

The security threat comes at a time of turmoil for the NWS, with many offices short-staffed due to hundreds of Trump administration layoffs and early retirements.

This does not end well.

Edit: I hope it doesn't get as bad as I can imagine.

I'm trying to be less pessimistic but this doesn't sound good.

Meanwhile weather radar going AWOL because my 5Ghz WiFi used the DFS channel lol

Wrong conspiracy idiots

Omgawd these freaks are scared of Doppler radar. It's our own fault. We allowed our country to get this stupid. Let a sleeping dog lie or let a sleeping dog get too big for its britches and run a muck in Religious superstition STUPER.. Not only is it important for the revolution to educate the masses, but just for the stable state of things. We're all going to be grasping as if we're drowning in water for things to blame, but this is just a collection of things. Via the intensity of the here and now. Expect only bad things from this point on until we stop these wars and start taxing the rich or even better eating the rich .....nothing will improve. This is a bourgeois democracy, which is NOT a democracy. And so voting Democrat is not going to make things better. Plus, we have a long road ahead of us. Since when did we ever actually impeach a president? It's all for show. It's ritualistic public shaming that means nothing.

Round them up and put them in front of a jury and then treat their mental illness.

Russian PSYOP

Seriously playing out like Canadian bacon?

Wtf are the writers thinking?

Lol, attacking or planning to attack weather or any radar is a great way to disappear for a few years.

education much?

is this the fallout of several big "UFO" image/videos being dumped recently only to be immediately proven so verifiably bullshit that even the conspiracy theorists believe they're fake?

Dumb people news again.

Somehow this reminds me of the novel “Kiteworld”.

I can still think that they can modify the weather, but they're not like gawd, where they can just make it rain at a nowhere. Also, how do these people not understand Doppler radar?

Meh, let them weaken their country so a good invader can take over and correct the bullshit
