The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has warned the National Weather Service of possible attacks from an armed conspiracy group targeting Doppler radar stations, according to a report from CNN. The group, Veterans on Patrol, is going after government radars because it believes they’re being used as “weather weapons.”
CNN learned of the possible attacks through NOAA emails warning NWS staff that Veterans on Patrol was planning to conduct “penetration drills on NEXRAD sites to identify weaknesses,” with the ultimate goal of destroying NEXRAD. Despite its cooler-than-average name, the NWS uses NEXRAD or “Next Generation Weather Radar” for a fairly mundane purpose: detecting precipitation in the atmosphere. NEXRAD plays a vital role in locating thunderstorms and tornados, making it easier to evacuate vulnerable communities before disaster strikes.

Tomorrow’s news: Trump appoints radar ‘weather weapon’ blogger to head up NOAA.
This extremest group almost makes Trump look sane.
This goes so much deeper

This is what happens when you don’t fund science education.
no, this is what no child left behind does for 20 unchallenged years.
I was really unprepared for how stupid the future would be.
My brother is one of these idiots, I dunno how they got him. He’s not part of the militia group but dipshit thinks a local radio tower that just went up is part of the weather control system…
Conspiracy theorists tend to fall in one of two categories, specially if it seems like a sudden change:
-
They’re lonely and the people in the group are very welcoming to them.
-
They feel they need to prove how smart they are, and think they’re smarter than everyone who dismisses their theory.
-
Have you considered sharing more of your crayons? You can fix him
The crayons are mine. They sustain me.
USMC?
Nah.
Missed opportunity
I’m sorry for you
Idiots and guns - name a more American combination.
Idiots and voting against their own best interests
That’s currently a worldwide phenomenon.
Not true - Australia did it right.
I wish you were wrong
How is it that 2020 was more normal than 2025
An armed militarized group planning potential attacks on a federal government entity… Why would the FBI not be picking every one of those idiots up?
Haven’t you heard, we’re not funding the FBI this year…
It is actually kind of weird to think about. Conservatives typically typically like police and the milliary.
The United States: Into Darkness.
A people manipulated and driven to the edge of Discovery and Dishonesty. We will turn the lights out to fear that which we know… But in the darkness there is nothing to find but our people’s vengeful hatred of each other. Ignorance is the weapon, and the lights shall stay out.
So what does man do? We starve. We suffer. We bleed, and then when all else is lost we scream. Not out of fear; for that is already gone. We scream because we are already in hell. And it’s the devil staring us in the face designing the torture.
We aren’t a phoneix, we don’t rise from the dead. We are supposed to be humanity; and it’s lost past time we become it. If you think humanity was designed to be built in the image of God. Are you mistaken?
I’m an idiot
Neitzshche is dead.
God is an Idea
Because the FBI is currently run by some of these idiots.
too busy picking up every farm and construction worker they can
That sounds like something an institution that deploys weather weapons would say.
MAGAts are complete idiots.
