    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.

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

        Jan 6 showed us that they only go after low personal risk targets they think they can attack with impunity but whine like little snowflakes when they get caught and have to pay a price. They were shocked when the law came after them.

        That’s why they attack radars, non-violent protests from the Left, or things like power substations as you mentioned. Nobody’s shooting back and the odds of getting caught are low.

      Only if we organize, and that’s not as easy as it looks given:

      1. Vast geography, and
      2. I wouldn’t even know who to trust to follow through

    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.

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

    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.

      Nah, all the US weather corporations source their initial material from NOAA. This includes radar data both raw and processed (storm locations, storm tracks, hail potential and mesocyclones). Anyone living in an area that gets severe weather. I live in tornado alley and am absolutely terrified that something could happen to the nexrad site near me with severe weather season going on right now.

    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.
