Who think weather radars are controlling the weather
I was a radar operator for 20 years in the USAF and learned at 19 that radar is passive, it sends energy out, then listens to what comes back. These dumb fucks will kill people because they believe stupid shit.

(53,379 posts)On The Media did an interesting (and depressing) series called The Divided Dial about short wave radio.
It's an interesting history about how short wave is flooded with right wing and religious conspiracy nuts. Of course Alex Jones pops up in an episode.

But the funniest thing was about an end-times ministry called World's Last Chance. They have a huge short-wave radio presence.
Aaaand...they are flat earthers.
Yep. They use short wave to reach around the globe that they think is flat.
