    I see the media’s extreme reluctance in calling white people “terrorists” continues.

    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.

      Given that they’re organizing on Telegram, I’m guessing they’re seeded and encouraged by Russia.

    “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.”
