Extremists posing as aid workers urge NC locals to tear down cell towers and hit military
A group of anti-government extremists who showed up in western North Carolina promising to provide disaster relief after Hurricane Helene is now threatening to destroy cell-phone towers and sabotage military vehicles.The group, Veterans on Patrol, attracted attention by setting up a disaster relief ...
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
Oh, I'm sure. All of these extremist and militia nutjobs are just LARPing fools who wish for the worst, but would actually shit their pants if things really went down. They like feeling important in their otherwise mundane lives, not actually having to do anything dangerous.
What's kinda crazy to me is that if we rounded the whole group up, we'd probably get a few cops and military personnel working with them.
"Some of those that work forces..."
I see the media's extreme reluctance in calling white people "terrorists" continues.
"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.
No, no, trust me, if they were left leaning in anyway, they would be antifa commie terrorist
They know who their biggest audience is.
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.
Watching republicans turn against the military is very interesting. They say trump is anti war but anti military might be a better description. Meanwhile, the military has more respect for the US Constitution and might be the ultimate check against the power of trumpists. Methinks the US is fucked.
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
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.
They probably wanted to target Ft. Liberty which is the home of 18th Airborne Corps
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.
I fully agree with your comment - thank you for sharing this.
Why are we worried about doxxing elected officials? Shouldn't they self-doxx as a matter of principle?
I think there's a difference between saying, "This is my name and I work here for the city," and, "This is the home address of my opponent whom I'm sharing lies about and threatening violence towards"
Especially when you consider that it's not just the officials, but their families who are exposed too
Their home addresses don't need to be public knowledge.
No, that's a terrible idea.
If nothing else, the neighbors' of elected officials would be subjected to all sorts of nonsense they hadn't signed up for.
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.
My guess is a foreign campaign that found some useful idiots, but maybe I'm too optimistic that's the case.
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.
“All it takes is one weapon tower being toppled with the stated reason spoken boldly.”
Saying things with gravitas should do the trick.
"This weapon tower has gold fringe and is therefore an ADMIRALTY TOWER. I do not RECOGNIZE it's power over my REAL PERSON, only the CORPORATE MAN."
or smth
I REFUDIATE THEE, MECHANICAL SERVANT OF SATAN!
