By anti-government, they mean opposed to the idea that government can do positive things for people, not opposed to the current government.

    Michael Lewis Arthur Meyer, the founder of Veterans On Patrol, told the station he posted a sign warning of other radars being targeted near weather radar. He said he believes the government is modifying the weather, according to the article.

    “They can embed their technology and civilian infrastructure in every home and every household utilizing the phones and their network towers to not only control the weather, modify the weather, but they can (target) individuals,” Meyer said in the article.

    Control the weather. Target individuals. How can anyone get this stupid?

      Most of the out-there conspiracy people just don’t understand something(in this case climate change), and invent/attached themselves to a fantasy where they’ve “seen through the lies” and everyone else is wrong. A lot of them actually know deep down that they’re wrong, but ironically they don’t want to be seen as stupid for admitting they don’t understand. That’s why they love using phrases that indicate non-believers are dumb, followers/sheep, or that deniers just don’t understand, etc.

      TL;DR: They’re too stupid to realize they’re acting stupid.

      I mean the government is modifying the weather in a way that causes natural disasters. They do it using something called “fossil fuel subsidies” and “meat subsidies”

        Good point. I heard somewhere they’re going to spend like $150B on ice too. They’re definitely up to something - that would be enough ice for every glass and cooler in America. Maybe they’ll spread chemtrail ice for the radar to interact with?

      It starts with heavy use of Fox News and escalates to uncontrolled ingestion of right wing talk radio, NewsMax, and OAN.
