An anti-government militia called Veterans on Patrol told News 9 on Tuesday that it is targeting Oklahoma weather radars, days after an individual vandalized News 9s weather radar.

The group, which the Southern Poverty Law Center called an anti-government militia, shared with News 9 that they believe weather radars control the weather.

In an interview, News 9 asked Michael Lewis Arthur Meyer, the founder of Veterans On Patrol:

"Is it true that Veterans On Patrol [is] targeting Oklahoma Weather Radars?"

"Absolutely," Meyers responded.

News 9 confirmed that a sign posted near an Oklahoma weather radar warns that Doppler radars are being targeted.

Meyer noted that he posted the sign, adding that he believes the government is modifying the weather.

"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 stated.

News 9s Chief Meteorologist David Payne said thats not what weather radars do at all.

We have one of the most powerful live radars in Oklahoma, and one of the most powerful live radars in the country, but we cannot do any weather modification at all, he explained.

When it's sabotaged, We cannot track severe weather. We cannot track tornadoes, and it basically becomes instantly obsolete," Payne said.

Meyer argued that the U.S. Military is also behind weather modification.

"When the military plays God with the weather, they're mocking our Heavenly Father by calling one of his most favorite instruments a 'weather weapon.'"

Payne added that he wishes it were that easy.

I wish we could turn it on and say, 'oh, let's make that tornado go away,' but our weather radar and all of the weather radars in the U.S. are built strictly to inform and warn the public, and to keep the public safe -- and that's exactly why we have our live radar."

Is Veterans On Patrol responsible for News 9s weather radar going down?

Veterans On Patrol is responsible for a lot more than that, Meyer retorted.

The Oklahoma Department of Public Services released a statement to News 9 on the matter:

Fusion centers play a crucial role in monitoring and mitigating threats to critical infrastructure by serving as focal points for information sharing and analysis. OCTIC (Oklahoma Counter Terrorism Intelligence Center) actively monitors all threats to critical infrastructure in Oklahoma. If you see suspicious activity near critical infrastructures, its important to report it via the free ProtectOk app. If you witness vandalism taking place, call 911 immediately.

I'm actually almost in tears from how fucking stupid these people are.

Idiocracy is real

They can't accept climate change, but they can accept as reality the plot of old cartoons about weather control, because that's obviously more likely than pollution affecting the planet negatively.

I bet, despite being "anti-government", he most likely praises Trump as a GodKing

Yes thats just what the south needed right now. Difficulty in monitoring weather.

The utter depths of dumb.

Jupiter has a perfect iRadar station for its storms.

It is beyond awesome that these are the same people that have been saying 10 billion people couldn't affect the weather.

No, they believe the radar systems actually control the weather.

This is going to become a thing that somehow 27% of Republicans, 13% of independents, and 6% of Democrats voters believe

Surely he and members of the group were arrested after he freely admitted they were responsible for a crime?

You know what...

Take all of OK's state funding and give it to Tulsa and the reservations.

what the **** is going on?

Where did this "they're controlling the weather" thing suddenly come from to be such a big deal overnight? The last time it made news everyone was making fun of the idea.

Amazing that the same people who don't think man cause climate change is real believe the government controls the weather.

Seriously. I totally get why he is bragging about it because he is one of those true believer types. He believes he is some hero. But in a sane world you cant do a news interview like that without being put on watch lists atleast.

This country has been stuck in a case of extreme idiocy since 2015 and I have been massively disappointed by the failures of both parties (talking about people in general more so than the official parties themselves honestly, and it's arguably more appalling to realize the number of people aware of the threat of climate change, but still choosing to prioritize other agendas) to underscore the importance of education and rational thinking in politics to ensure a stable future for oncoming generations in terms of environmental stability, global security, and economic opportunity in that order. We're ruled by the gut opinions of a bunch of dumbasses and I miss the day when such people had the decency to stay the fuck away from voicing political opinions to begin with.

Yep. It used to be that people that didnt understand politics (ie the bulk majority) just stayed away from it. Now every moron on the planet has an opinion and a platform to voice it on.

Of course they are. - _-

It's tricky because I used to be of the opinion that more of the population should be involved in voting, but I've been increasingly thinking it would be more beneficial to encourage people with minimal understanding of politics (and science in general really) to opt out of their supposed "civic responsibility." Like if you can't get a decent understanding of the world around you, I'd rather you not see it as your responsibility to vote on things that will impact it.

Then at the same time, seeing people that are supposed to have decent heads on their shoulders throw away their votes for self-righteous reasons, I just fucking hate the society that I was forced to be a part of.

Don't forget that people attacked 5G towers because they controlled your minds and gave people autism or some stupid shit.

Those terrorists all need to get swept up by Tornadoes

"Veterans on Patrol" was the worst Police Academy movie.
