Veterans on Patrol believes government caused Helene with weather manipulation tech, Telegram chats reveal

Summary

Veterans on Patrol, a far-right militia, believes Hurricane Helene was caused by a government weather weapon and plans to destroy it.

The group’s founder, Michael Meyer, has threatened the US military and accused them of spraying poisons on the American people.

VOP’s activities, rooted in anti-government and anti-immigrant beliefs, have drawn criticism from law enforcement and advocacy groups.

    Attack the machines that exacerbated the hurricane? Sure, just head to your nearest car dealership or container port or oil processing facility. Be careful not to burn anything, as that will make the weather worse.

      You’re mistakenly employing critical thought where it otherwise would not exist.

      It’s Biden’s fault until Trump fixes it, which will be whenever he claims it’s fixed.

    Why don’t they just wait until Trump is sworn in and then he can use it to save America, right? Right?

    Extremely hot oceans and great lakes are causing mass rainfall events near them. If the US or Jews were using energy weapons, it wouldn’t be against the US. Venezuela, Cuba, Palestine, Russia could be destroyed by daily local record rainfalls.

    The global warming is not real therefore all climate disasters are US attacks, loses to oceans are boiling right now from global warming, and the US military would not need to attack US and allies in order to “fake” global warming.

    Maybe Trump can promise them “no more hurricanes”.

        People talk about nuking hurricanes so much NOAA has it as part of an FAQ on their site. The gist? It doesn’t work and would just make a hurricane more radioactive

          NOAA, the organization that they plan to break up, downsize and commercialize sections such as it’s forecasts.

          PBS article about their plans: The National Weather Service should become a “performance-based organization” held accountable for achieving specific results, even if the head of the agency must “deviate from government rules” to achieve those results.

          The document said little about the National Hurricane Center. It said the administration should “review the work of the National Hurricane Center” and that “data collected by the department should be presented neutrally, without adjustments intended to support any one side in the climate debate.”

          _----- What is the climate debate? Oil companies agree their actions accelerate it… So the only debate would be, do our profits from accelerating harm to the world and the human race offset our best interest over theirs? Profits vs Human race & health of the Earth.

          When we know there are usable alternatives that are being made more profitable daily. They also take away trade dependencies traversing oceans long term. We can gather all the energy we need within our own borders and assist other countries in doing so as well. Instead we put more oil executives in charge of our futures and wonder why we keep coming back to well, maybe we should use oil instead.

          Everyone pro more oil is anti life. “Think of the kids” my ass, the only interest they have in kids is fucking them over.

    But Republicans told me this Weather is NORMAL? Just like how Jan 6 which caused MILLIONS in Damage was a Nonviolent Violent Tourist Visit by ANTIFA where no one should have been arrested but ONLY MAGAS were for some reason.
