29 Hate, Extremist Groups Active In North Carolina
Michael "Lewis Arthur" Meyer, founder of Veterans on Patrol.
A group of anti-government extremists who showed up in western North Carolina promising to provide disaster relief after Hurricane Helene is now threatening to destroy cell-phone towers and sabotage military vehicles.
The group, Veterans on Patrol, attracted attention by setting up a disaster relief staging area in the parking lot of the Ingles grocery store in Lake Lure, about 50 miles from Asheville.
But locals, including some who initially cooperated with the group, began to complain about threats and harassment.
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.
Veterans on Patrols channel on the encrypted social-media platform Telegram posted a message on Thursday displaying photos of what appears to be a cell tower on a mountaintop.
The message asserted that locals are in Live Exercises where the United States Military is permitted to destroy your homes, bodies and minds, while suggesting that equipment on the tower is solely for providing the U.S. military the means to murder Americans.
Focus on tearing down their weapons, the message reads. It continues, All it takes is one weapon tower being toppled with the stated reason spoken boldly.
Another message posted in the groups Telegram channel appears to advocate for sabotaging military vehicles and assets.
Simple acts of pouring sugar into fuel tanks of military equipment, backup power systems, and personal vehicles of military personnel can wreak havoc on those who murdered all these people out here, reads the message, which was posted on Wednesday.
Soldiers from Fort Liberty and Fort Campbell have deployed to western North Carolina to assist in the disaster response, along with National Guard members from nine states.
Veterans on Patrol is led by Michael Lewis Arthur Meyer, who has a long history of anti-government extremism, dating back at least 10 years. Meyer, according to the extremism watchdog group Southern Poverty Law Center, is not a veteran.
The Oct. 22 post claimed that stolen elections are a real phenomenon, along with weather weapons,Satanic pedophiles and adrenochrome," which refers to a QAnon conspiracy theory that a cabal of elites tortures children to extract a chemical from their bodies which is then used as a recreational drug.
In another post last week, a Veterans on Patrol member nicknamed Shepherd claimed that the U.S. Air Force command is instructing pilots to deploy additional weather weapons.The post goes on to say, These people dont have 2 weeks to wait for vote and 3 months to hopefully wait for a Regime change.
Meyer founded Veterans on Patrol in Arizona in 2015, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. Prior to presenting itself as a disaster response group in the aftermath of Helene, Veterans on Patrol has claimed its efforts were directed towards rescuing children from sex trafficking, addressing veteran suicide and dubious claims that the military is maliciously harming civilians.
In 2018, was arrested by the police in Tucson, Ariz. for trespassing and an outstanding warrant for an assault charge, after occupying a tower on an industrial property. A press release from the Tucson Police Department claimed that Meyer found an abandoned homeless encampment on the property, and fictitiously declared, without evidence or corroboration, that the area was the site of a sex-trafficking ring.
In the summer of 2024, before Hurricane Helene, Veterans on Patrol was active in Spokane, Wash. In Telegram message from July 2, 2024, Veterans on Patrol announced to the police that it would no longer be safe for one of its officers to work his beat. The channel also posted the home addresses of city council members.
