In Oklahoma, a domestic militia calling itself “Veterans on Patrol” is systematically targeting weather radars. Their leader, Michael Lewis Arthur Meyer, claims the military is controlling the weather through Doppler radar systems and that these machines are part of a divine affront — a “weather weapon” — that is “mocking God Himself.”
He’s encouraging his followers to sabotage these radars under an operation he calls “Leaning Tower.” This isn’t just fringe paranoia: it’s part of a growing anti-reality insurgency that threatens our democracy itself.
lol ok, Oklahoma. Go for it. Have fun. Throw Molotovs at the radars that literally save your lives in tornado season. You’re only going to decrease your own population. And I’m genuinely past caring at this point.
No. My old mentor had to move back to his home state of Oklahoma due to money reasons recently. He’s a boomer but so very anti-Trump.
He’s been away for fifty years. He hates that Oklahoma is at the absolute bottom of education, but it’s where he grew up. Not everyone there is bad.
I’ve been saying for a while how lucky we are that the bad guys are so self destructive. Anti-vaxers. Destroying natural disaster warning systems, the leader is an 80 year old idiot, etc. Etc. Imagine how much worse things would be if they were competent.
Problem is, vulnerable populations who dont willingly participate in their stupidity still have to live among them.
Strictly speaking they aren’t our enemies. Mentally ill as fuck? Absolutely. But our enemy is the one that manipulates these people. Stirring up their mental illness and turning them on us. Believe me our enemy is watching comfortably as we injure ourselves. Republicans eagerly egging it on as it suits their own ends. And Democrats not really caring to do enough about it.
If they were more competent they wouldn’t fall for that shit in the first place.
