    According to many locals on NextDoor in my area, Helene was more than just a natural disaster. In fact, thanks in part to HAARP, the government has learned how to manufacture weather on their whims, and since mining companies have been getting pushback from the locals in both Gastonia and the mountains (over quartz and lithium deposits), the government sent Helene to flood those areas to devalue the properties so people will have no choice but to sell to the mining companies.

    I shit you not. I wish I had screenshotted the conversation before it finally got removed.

    And yall think Reddit is bad…. 😱

      LOLOL wow.

      IIRC, a main function of HAARP was actually an interesting radio experiment to figure out how to lens radio waves off the atmosphere, to enable directed communication in the event satellites were taken out, I think.

      …err I mean, to steer storms around.

        Yes, and technically the Navy and Air Force were once involved, but it’s now run by a university in Alaska.

        But yeah, these people don’t care about facts, so long as they can blame the government for something bad that happened.

      I’m gonna guess you’re just trolling or unwell mentally, I am from WNC and a majority of my family and friends live there. There is one granite mine that supplies for chips and it is in a specific town called Spruce Pine. The government did not manufacture a hurricane that covered a third of a state so one town can give away mining rights

        I’m not the one trolling. I’m recounting a recent discussion i saw on Nextdoor. I think these people are batshit crazy.

          Ahhh I misunderstood your tone my bad, it’s a bit of an emotional topic for me. I’ve been checking in on friends the last couple days to make sure no one’s dead… I thought you meant that last sentence as an “we’re being censored!” Bit

            Hey I understand. Im appalled by these people who are trying to turn this into some sort of political conspiracy for the sake of … I really don’t know what.

            I hope your friends are okay. You too. Take time for yourself too.
