Somehow this reminds me of the novel “Kiteworld”.

My parents think NASA controls the weather. So this tracks.
I'm so sorry. I can't imagine having parents like that.
It is amazing how much "crazy" mirrors rule 34. If you can think it up, someone has a conspiracy theory about how it is being used to harm or control the general public.
Rule 34-C
education much?
Russian PSYOP
Seriously playing out like Canadian bacon?
Wtf are the writers thinking?
I didn't know there is whole group of people trying to kill Gary Burghoff.
Wrong conspiracy idiots
Based on the title, I could easily believe this was an accurate description of the American regime.
No I will not validate it by calling it a government.
This militia brought to you by AccuWeather.
I don't really think that's the case, but I am wondering if it's actually illegal to spread disinformation that might gently direct these nutjubs at specific targets.
Nah, all the US weather corporations source their initial material from NOAA. This includes radar data both raw and processed (storm locations, storm tracks, hail potential and mesocyclones). Anyone living in an area that gets severe weather. I live in tornado alley and am absolutely terrified that something could happen to the nexrad site near me with severe weather season going on right now.
At this point it wouldn't be surprising if acting on "official" orders
It’s unclear what the group believes the radars are doing. The NEXRAD, or “next generation radar,” network has been in place since the 1990s and detects precipitation in the atmosphere. It can also help pinpoint tornadoes and severe thunderstorms, prompting timely, life-saving warnings. The system is also used by the Federal Aviation Administration and the US Air Force
Among other actions, NOAA’s security office advises that the NWS implement a buddy system when working at remote sites and be alert for suspicious activity.
[...]
The security threat comes at a time of turmoil for the NWS, with many offices short-staffed due to hundreds of Trump administration layoffs and early retirements.
This does not end well.
Edit: I hope it doesn't get as bad as I can imagine.
I'm trying to be less pessimistic but this doesn't sound good.
Some sort of group sponsored by shareholders that want to privatize noaa but still get socialisms funding from actual working Americans. So all is profit and paying the larping group through foreign dark money?
Jesus Christ. There's an actual takeover of your government that you guys can use your guns on. Cosplaying losers.
You forget, they want this as well. Donald loves the uneducated.
Only if we organize, and that’s not as easy as it looks given:
- Vast geography, and
- I wouldn’t even know who to trust to follow through
But the radars wont shoot back
Jan 6 showed us that they only go after low personal risk targets they think they can attack with impunity but whine like little snowflakes when they get caught and have to pay a price. They were shocked when the law came after them.
That’s why they attack radars, non-violent protests from the Left, or things like power substations as you mentioned. Nobody’s shooting back and the odds of getting caught are low.
Those dummies think they're the good guys.
Round them up and put them in front of a jury and then treat their mental illness.
