According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Veterans on Patrol founder, Michael Meyer is not a veteran. https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/veterans-patrol
This shit is bonkers crazy, where do these people come up with this stuff? It’s lunacy to the core.
Given that they’re organizing on Telegram, I’m guessing they’re seeded and encouraged by Russia.
All kinds of assholes use Telegram, not only Putin’s putos.
Blowing up cellular and electrical infrastructure is BIG in white supremacist communities, the idea being that somehow these acts will push white people to an open race war.
My guess is a foreign campaign that found some useful idiots, but maybe I’m too optimistic that’s the case.
Ah, veterans on patrol, they have been all over social media and the local news since showing up in NC. Complete bunch of lunatics.
Don’t get excited. That picture is a “booking photo from 2018,” from some previous fuckery.
This guy and his lackeys are just out there, freely doing this shit, right now. I imagine that if someone was to head over to the Ingles Markets in Lake Lure, NC, on NC-9 just south of US 64, they might still be there.
The government should inundate them with The Brown Note™. If they have a “weather weapon,” you know they have at least that.
Teach them a lesson
I see the media’s extreme reluctance in calling white people “terrorists” continues.
No, no, trust me, if they were left leaning in anyway, they would be antifa commie terrorist
It would suck to have citizens as terrorists in your own country. But here we are, even if the media doesn’t want to call them that.
Or Radical Christian Terrorists
They ain’t no christian thank you very much. Else they’d avoid doing harm unto others, lying etc.
Bit of a “No True Scotsman” fallacy, unfortunately. But I agree that many modern Christians do not espouse the teachings of Christ, but rather worship their own rules and prejudices. Just like the very people Christ admonished in their religious text.
Yep, and it begins to me piss me off. I live in christian, religious country and sure, we also get these pricks. But the christianity has a little funny thing to it - it’s defined by the teachings it includes. And no matter how much you claim to be a christian, if you do not follow these teachings, then you are nothing but sinner. And it’s not like you cannot slip - but slipping and correcting yourself is different from…constantly slipping and retconing your faith so it serves your claims.
“Extremist” is such a copout term… as if they’re just eccentric rather than violent degenerates.
Absolutely. It’s like how if you’re poor and crazy, you’re crazy; but if you’re rich and crazy, you’re eccentric.
Over the past three weeks, members of the group, which falsely claims that Helene was caused by a “weather weapon,” have been making conspiracy-driven claims that the U.S. military is attempting to kill U.S. citizens with “directed energy weapons.”
I’m directing some energy at them right now, let’s see if they can pick up on it.
You want to pour sugar in tanks, like whatever. I’m not sure North Carolina has a legitimate need for armoured vehicles and the military industrial complex is pretty whack. But they also want to destabilize the cellular and electrical infrastructure which would be essential to provide relief for hurricane victims.
Doxxing elected officials and threatening the police is a bold choice. Usually these nutcases are making allies with the police.
By golly, this almost seems like it could be terrorism.
I am leaning into the whole “Democrats have god-like power over the weather” conspiracy because it pleases me to use that as a reason for voting Kamala. Why vote against the team with the hurricane machine? They are obviously much stronger.
Why are we worried about doxxing elected officials? Shouldn’t they self-doxx as a matter of principle?
Their home addresses don’t need to be public knowledge.
