'Veterans on Patrol': Inside MAGA's new assault on reality and bizarre conspiracy theory
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.

For being so bathshit crazy, they landed pretty close to the reality that oil rigs and other fossil fuel equipment are actually doing a ton of things they blame on the weather radars that make their lives better.
Maybe we don't factor out subtly redirecting them that way. Don't even tell them they're wrong, just point to what's making the weather actually be screwy.
Maybe it's those 30ish gas turbines in TN that are polluting the city to power a racist LLM
You might just be on to something there.
