US testing “Emergency Alert System” later today
Kit Knightly
The Federal government will be testing its nationwide “Emergency Alert System” (EAS) and “Wireless Emergency Alerts” (WEA) today – Wednesday October 4th – at 2.20pm Eastern time.
The WEA allows the Federal government to send a simultaneous message to every cellphone in the country, regardless of network, supposedly to notify people of emergencies. Unlike the British system, these alerts cannot be turned off.
The EAS affects any device that receives any kind of signal including radios, TVs and computers…

WHY DIDN’T I KNOW ABOUT THIS UNTIL NOW?

“Why are they doing this?” is a fair question.
According to a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) spokesman:
“The purpose of the Oct. 4 test is to ensure that the systems continue to be effective means of warning the public about emergencies, particularly those on the national level,”
…which is of course what they would say.
I suspect the real answer might be closer to “because we can, and we want everyone to know we can”.
With how little they are publicizing it you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s an experiment, that they’re hoping to start some kind of panic and see what happens.
Like they did in 2018 with the Hawaii fire, when a worker “pressed the wrong button” and “accidentally” caused a panic by “accidentally” sending out a warning of a completely non-existent ballistic missile attack.
Or maybe it’s about predictive programming, getting it ready to use for some future manufactured emergency. After all, think how easily you can fake a pandemic when you can hijack every cellphone and TV in the country and say “bro, there’s totally a pandemic, you’re not allowed outside to check”.
In that way it’s a perfect tool for the creation of psy-ops and false narratives, it even has a built-in “we didn’t do it!” clause, with FEMA officials warning that the software could be “hacked” by “hostile actors” to send fake messages:
Last year, a FEMA official told CNN that vulnerabilities in software that TV and radio networks around the country use to transmit emergency alerts could potentially allow a hacker to broadcast fake messages over the alert system.
Whatever the goal of the of drill it’s something to keep an eye on. It’s probably nothing, but anyone who has ever studied terrorist attacks or other psy-ops knows that government drills have a tendency to “go live”.
As a little free advice to our friends across the Atlantic: At 2pm today I would turn my phone off and leave it off for an hour or so. Who the hell knows what they’re up to.

Which American Military Analyst once said
The best way to hide a false flag is within a war game.
Not that that has ever happened of course…😉
i have read the two items below about public opinion in the US, in the past couple of days:
A) the polls show solid support for the ukraine war by the amarican people
B) the american people don’t want this war. they don’t want to fund it or fight it
which one is disinformation?
A. There’s no such people as Amaricans!
If the aim is for the proles to “own nothing”, that can only be done by ‘A Great Dispossession’.,,As such, ‘The Great Reset’ is a misnomer…
As ‘The Great Reset’ doesnt stir much interest from the proles, reframed as ‘The Great Dispossession’, it has some certainty of them lending their ears…
‘The Great Dispossession’
.. is set for 2030, and the only training we had was the covid lockdown and forced vaccines.
we probably need more programming, don’t we?
I smell a great stinking big rat. FEMA is at the forefront of all government false flags and psyops from Three Mile Island to 9-11 and beyond. These guys are the Rockefeller shock troops of planned disasters.
The Three Mile Island nuclear ” accident ” happened at 4am March 28, 1979.
By a complete coincidence FEMA was set up by President Jimmy Carter on 1 April 1979!
Are you smelling what the Deep State is cooking? Problem. Reaction. Solution. Works a charm.
If there ain’t any emergencies, well, hell, create them!
We get alerts/warnings for fires, floods and tsunamis here in Australia.
Thank Christ they don’t send BULLSHIT alerts.
Every mobile in the country would have a meltdown.
ON 3rd October, our street had our electricity ‘turned off’ for about 10 minutes around noon.
We weren’t warned, it came back on again fairly quickly but I did learn that Scottish Power didn’t even know their correct numbers to ring to report faults: I was told 150 instead of 105 and a customer service number starting 0345 was wrong as well.
And this from the company that tried putting bills up by 100% over the summer.
You couldn’t make it up….and it would be interesting to ask Rishi Sunak whether such greed and incompetence combined is what his band of brothers, sisters and banksters feel is ‘the apotheosis of Thatcherite market efficiency’??
the electric has been going out regular for the last 5 weeks in london

“It is reported that at 8:50 P. M. a huge, flaming object, believed to be a meteorite, fell on a farm in the neighborhood of Grovers Mill, New Jersey, twenty-two miles from Trenton.
The flash in the sky was visible within a radius of several hundred miles and the noise of the impact was heard as far north as Elizabeth.

They probably think that they need something to warn people if the Russkies get pissed off and start popping Kinzhals in American direction.
Agree. They can’t be sued because they warned you. Just as for the “voluntary” jab and greed-induced natural disasters.
There’s been tremendous fear porn about this because of the claim this signal would trigger mass-death among the vaxxed- either by triggering a Marburg pandemic (for those who believe in virology) or a nanoparticle kill-switch (for virus skeptics).
There was similar fear porn that something big would happen on 9/23. We’re not out of the woods yet because 9/23 in the Julian calendar is 10/6 (friday) in the Gregorian calendar. The global debt market is in trouble again so perhaps we’ll have a banking event over the weekend.
the juice is in the 5g you do not need a vaccine it breaches blood brain barrier allowing your waste products into your blood stream not to mention all the round up glyphosate heavy metals into liver and kidneys heart and brain
The jab has to be a part of it, surely? How else can the perps avoid the same effects?
phased array the 5g is a blunder buss or a sniper weapon each panel fully directional
the perps do not eat the same food as you and heavily filter the water and do not use your doctor or nhs 2 the slaughter.
you are correct about vaccine even the old vaccine low tec puss is enough to start the downward spiral into the abyss.
for the blood must remain pure alas we are all victims of satanic crimes
Well since true 5G does not exist outside of urban centers, despite the advertising from cell carriers and the little icon in your phone making you think you have 5G, this would be a poor way to attack the population. 5G has such short range and limits on building penetration, it is unlikely to affect the majority of the population.
If you are truly worried about cell signals controlling you, then be concerned about 6G. It has terabyte carry capacity. But, since its projected range is about 100 feet, it is unlikely to be widespread until 15 minute cities, or the Saudi’s Wall, are in effect.
“Emergency Alert System” in the US.
the rest of the world needs an Emergency Warning for when there is an american in the vaccinity. good examples include:
a Nuland offering lollies in a public place, or a Gates funding a medical lab nearby.
Great way to generate social-emotional data for the SWS algorithm.
Does the government or its alphabet agencies really give a shit what the little people are doing? (Unless of course we were massing in vast numbers to protest or overrun them).
No, it’s probably all about corporations selling more stuff to us.
Imagine: an ad for Coke, McDonalds or Smith and Wesson, on EVERY SINGLE DEVICE. It’s an advertisers wet dream.

Plus ça change…. all the more so nothing changes.
I read the above report about an hour after my stuff all went off buzzing, phones etc.
I wasn’t startled, since I was checking my email just then and there was a notice about it, as I squatted, bemused by all the multi-intrusions.
But I was whiplashed back thru a 60 years wormhole to my boyhood’s most seminal nightmares, back, back, back, all the way back to my 3rd Grade Newport Elementary School “emergency drills” in Mrs. Tuttle’s classroom. 1959
Well, I posted a slim memoir of that nuke terror nostalgia, on one of these threads early on in our first global throes of Coronapalooza™
But my stubborn act of refusal to curl up like a garden bug under my desk, which all the other kids were gladly doing, separated me out from the rest and marked me instantly. The teacher didn’t know what to do and finally after several reprimands told me to stand in the corner. But I was toe-tagged “for good and all” as Bill the Butcher put it. Seriously, you can see now how that got me marked for very special handling thereafter, especially as an infant dissident in the richest ZIP code in the country.
You can draw a straight line from that to the elbow of Dr. Robert Gerard four years later, 70 miles north in Sherman Oaks (L.A.).
I had always been intrigued by the WWII vet Gérard, but never more so than when I read his name as one of the board of directors, along with Edgar Mitchell, 6th man to walk on the moon allegedly, and Gerard as first in line as candidate to replace MPHall after the latter’s murder in 1990, as Director of Philosophical Research Society near Griffith Park, Hollywood. I had already read the book “Master of the Mysteries” by Sahagun of LA Times, but it is so full of imponderables that I have to double back, much more than other reads, as I pick up a lot of clues on the second or third bounce. [That is known as one characteristic of traumatic mind control, inasmuch as most any mind will tend involuntarily to bury the memory of one, or many, of the evidences of a black op. It’s just human nature: look at Ethel Kennedy, it’s been 55 years since her husband’s murder and she still doesn’t get that Sirhan is innocent of the crime, a programmed MKUltra robot at the time of the RFK shooting.]
But a copy of a book by MPH was found under the front seat of Sirhan’s car soon after the shooting? You can find accounts of that in the above book Master of the Mysteries, but you’re on your own if you read that spook-o-centric memoir of MPHall. It’s very curious stuff, something that packs a delayed wallop? It’s spooky material.
But I was seated next to Robert Gérard of the UCLA Psychiatry Department one night at dinner when I was 12, in 1964, a group of only maybe a half dozen, and he told me a great World War story how he evaded the Gestapo on a train through a tunnel in Switzerland where he concealed a black briefcase with papers crucial to the French Resistance efforts, hanging it on a catch out the window of the water closet, as the Gestapo chased him through the train when they passed through a dark mountain tunnel. Great stuff, if fact. You never know with these guys: he was mentioned in the above-cited MotM book in a number of places, as the most likely successor to MPHall as President at PRS. [Cyril Wecht conducted a private second autopsy on Hall for Marie Bauer Hall in the ’90s and was adamant In reports to the LA County Coroner that it was a homicide.]
Robert Gérard’s core relevance connected quite a few dots in all this, a central story of our global PsyWar. No hype.
So, the story needs more development as I discover it, but now let me just add that after recently finding out a lot more of this, and who his head of Department was at UCLA psychiatry, the infamous disciple of Dr Sidney Gottlieb “Poisoner in Chief” at CIA, a certain Dr. Louis Jolyon West (UCLA Psychiatry dean, 1969-89) I became much more intrigued, searching for more biographical details about my candlelit dinner companion of one evening, at my old man’s manse, 60 years ago in those Hollywood “thrilling days of yesteryear.” Out “West.” [If you’ll pardon a now even more loaded word.]
Someone of his prominence, you would expect to find at least an obituary in LA Times if not the New York Times and in Europe as well, where he had once a considerable presence and profile during World War II.
Nothing. There is a bit of discussion about him here and there at UCLA, where he was a professor and practitioner of integrative psychology for decades, and elsewhere, but I had to dig and dig and finally I found an obituary, posted by his family apparently, at a funeral home website. I hadn’t known he was an infantry officer in ground battles in France, or that he wrote a popular book about it, something called “Tank Commander Diary” I think, but the hair went up on my neck when I read one little factoid I had never yet seen in all the other reportage about him: Eisenhower during the London blitz had appointed him to ” his Psychological Warfare staff.”
Why are you not surprised?
£4£&$4$+my2¢™~~~
FYI Dr. Louis “Jolly” West was daily frequenting the same hallways of the HAFMC in SF during that wistful “Summer of Love” (and Acid) in 1967.
Then, both those two suddenly migrated 500 miles south to UCLA and the Spahn Movie Ranch nearby at play the same time 2 years later 1969.
You can find some of this at West’s Wikipedia article ends noted but much more extensively in the 2020 book CHAOS by Tom O’Neill.
Quite the coincidence of timelines.
West’s if claim to fame was the Berkeley grad psyop in San Francisco dubiously dubbed Project Midnight Climax. Before that he had killed tusko the elephant by massively overdosing it on LSD. Oh, and assigned to Jack Ruby as his therapist after the JFK murder.
ADDENDUM:
I posted, between irksome “pendings” [I am sure now that’s just some tripped function of software, not a personal decision, but you lose the capacity in the meantime to make certain edits] that Dr. Louis “Jolly” West had a daily presence at the Haight Ashbury Free Medical Clinic HAFMC in SF ’67, but I dropped out the other party of “both” who were frequenting those hallways, the one and only, thankfully (envelope,please)
Charlie Manson.
Then, both migrated at roughly the same time, 450 miles south, and not too far from each other, in 1969.
Most of that in this Hollywood saga is covered in the astonishing 2020 book, CHAOS by Tom O’Neill.
[You have to take his word on much of it per his investigations of the last 20 years, but he does, for all that, have almost 500 endnotes and references in the back pages, and he made thousands of hours of taped recordings of his first hand interviews of over a thousand interested parties.]
But I’m sure when push comes to shove that many of those facts will be challenged as much as any battlefield. Just read all the threats that the late (2015) Vincent Bugliosi leveled against O’Neill.
An edited PS to my nearby post:

West’s only former claim to fame was the Berkeley grad psyop in ’67 San Francisco, dubiously dubbed Project Midnight Climax. Before that he had killed Tusko the Elephant during his gig at the University of Oklahoma by massively overdosing it on LSD.
Oh, and assigned to Jack Ruby as his jailhouse therapist after the JFK murder. Perhaps before? Yeah… maybe.
Man, it all sounds scripted in a parallel universe but this is our world now
Throw away our (mobile) phones ? You can’t do bank transactions without them. They have mankind in a digital cage far more formidable than anything Orwell imagined. And the really tragic part is that all of mankind have embraced and welcomed their electronic shackles.Everyone regardless of gender, religious affiliation,skin pigmentation levels, hair type, eye shape, geographical location, physical size, linguistic group, aperture preference,political leaning and every other characteristic is dependant and attached to his or her phone.I am unable to comprehend this enchantment with something so boring,useless, heath and nature destroying.

In New Zealand, we already had these “tests” sounding on our phones back in 2019, supposedly to be used in civil defence emergencies. To date, guess what events they have actually used them for? The deadly storms and flooding events around Auckland and the East coast? Nope. They were used to issue stay at home orders during the COVID scam.
Don’t you know, it’s never about our safety or wellbeing?
I missed the UK version (my phone being off at the time). BUT.. ’emergencies’ per se…as with the Lucy Letby case.
The message of which seems to be that the actions of a wayward party-loving nurse is a more extreme and outrageous exception to the norm than benevolent healing via State institutions. Hence a legitimate shock, horror etc when murderous actions are exposed. Similar to the emergency alert perhaps.
Whereas, of course, death is the standard norm for any accepted ill-conceived medical treatment via the NHS. NHS treatment being generically more deadly than the cure. Claps for the NHS on one’s doorstep doing little to change such scenarios.

Global vaxx death.
Some science reports from Ottawa just came out today on UKColumn News saying they can seriously count 1:800 death per vaxx globally.
According to WHO and searched sources, around 2/3 of the global population has been jabbed.
If we take these figures 1/800 and around 5 billion jabbed guess what?
You get 6 million global dead from vaccines…….LOL. Off course a pure coincidence.
The current estimate for global deaths so far from these evil injections is 17 million to 20 million… (see Professor [or Dr.?] Denis Rancourt’s work, and others), plus many, many more millions around the world seriously ill/injured/maimed.

While Russia “will stage its first nationwide nuclear attack exercise across 11 time zones in preparation for potential nuclear war. It is scheduled to take place on October 3 and will see Putin’s regime present the West as a nuclear aggressor. The one-day nuclear attack exercise, which has only ever been done region by region, will include preparation for the destruction of up to 70% of Russian housing stock and life support facilities.
It will assume the scenario that martial law has been introduced in Russia and that is has gone through full mobilization.”

The source is 100% legit 😂
I was on the Island of Hawaii and received the text on my phone. It said the missile was from North Korea. I knew it was bullshit, I thought nothing of it, and went to the farmer’s market in Hilo. Traffic normal. Town normal. Everyone at market as normal. People called the government looking for more info or looked on the internet and quickly knew it was a mistake. I knew no one who was panicked. Everyone I talked to thought it was bullshit too. The one Korean woman who sold at the market was irritated and disturbed. Many of these same people fell for the covid psyop but not all.
The Korean lady is showing a conditioned response and was understandably annoyed that it was happening to her in Hawaii. Not too long ago, South Koreans got used to air-raid drills because, technically, they are still at war with the DPRK. If you were travelling on a major highway you would have to pull off to the side because the South Korean airforce was allowed to use the highways to scramble their planes. Wherever you were you would have to stop, find shelter and wait for the all clear. If you didn’t take it seriously you could expect disapproval. There was a drill recently after about six years of no drills. People seemed to be a bit blase this time. Maybe they’re getting complacent.
You have no idea who this woman was. Did she live in South Korea during the air raids?
She hated propaganda against Korean people. She knew all war was bullshit and against the common people.
You mistakenly assumed I used the term ‘air raids’. So, no she did not live in South Korea during any air raid but she may have lived there when air raid drills were a regular event.
It’s wrong
FYI: I don’t know what this signifies, but my old friend M. called me on my home phone– whoops, we now use the vaguely nautical term “landline”– at 2:00. (She’s in NY, I’m in PA.)
M. was using her smartphone, and she began by informing me about this widely-publicized “test” in case I hadn’t heard about it. She wanted to prepare me for the disruptive “screeching” notification that would presumably break into the call at 2:20pm.
We talked until 2:35pm; there was no interruption or warning; M. confirmed that her smartphone didn’t display any visual “emergency warning” flags, and as noted didn’t emit so much as a stray beep.
FWIW, this Internet-connected laptop in front of me didn’t receive any alerts either.
I wonder what this non-event portends. ⁉ 🤔📱🚨
There are many reasons you did not receive it. You can turn off these notifications on your phone, so possibly you have in the past. Depending on where you live cellphone signal may be weak, or your local system is not able to handle the amount of traffic. I witnessed a test of 45000 cellphone numbers and it overloaded the trunking system. That was in a county of over 1 million people. Sometimes there are delays on the system’s ability to send the message on. I once received an evacuation notice 2 hours after it was sent. It could also be the carrier. In a test of an area on the outskirts of my city ATT phones received the message, but a person with a Verizon phone standing right next to the ATT person did not receive it. There are other reasons, but these are the most common.
As for your laptop… there should be no reason to believe a laptop connected to the internet would receive it.
Were it not for the fact that the NSA is already entrenched on every digital device in America, I’d be thinking this “alert” was to attach more spy tools to us all. But my God, how many tools do they need to spy on us?
Per Kit Knightly’s advice, I cut the electricity to my digital landline and computer. When I signed in a few minutes ago, a couple odd things popped up then disappeared. Maybe I didn’t have enough NSA spy work after all. (My bad!)
I doubt switching off will stop the evenual delivery of (store-and-forward) text messages.
Why do you Americans use the word ‘bad’ for the usual word, ‘mistake’?

any idea what was wrong with my comment?
you really are a shower
As a little free advice to our friends across the Atlantic: At 2pm today I would turn my phone off and leave it off for an hour or so. Who the hell knows what they’re up to.
Let me give you a bit of advice:-
What!?!!! You carry a “smart”phone around with you? That is insane. It’s a tracking device for starters, no rush for them to put a chip under your skin. Also you have zero idea what hostile activities it’s up to. Is the GPS chip really turned off? What? You trust the setup page that says that is so? How do you know there is not a second GPS chip, always on, with no user facing software controls?
Here’s the clue: you cannot remove the battery. Even if you think you turned it off, for sure it’s still pinging the nearest cell tower at the very least.
Get rid!
Absolutely! The first thing is get rid of your tacking collar. They have addicted people to their virtual, virtual reality device, “smart phones”, and it’s time-travel, instant communication narcotic, just to have you a tracked farm animal. If one must use these for work, fine. But for yourself, deprogram yourself, back to yourself to be living in the moment in real time and space away from being jacked into the net, ala a William Gibson novel. This act disempowers the OVERLORD’s remote control of Humanity. Back to a slow future.
The government’s ability to perform warrantless surveillance is not limited to only those with a smartphone. Anything going through the cellular network, including the 1990s flip phone, can be “grabbed”. It may be lacking in details, but it is not hidden.
Get rid of your fokking fiat dollar. This shit is not worth the paper its written on.
I can help you exchange it to real physical barter money.
I offer you as a favour to humanity and its freedom to send your useless shit dollar to me.
I will just burn the shit and you will get physical material back you can really use in real life: Old furniture, old carpets, old well functioning refrigerators, m.m.
For humanity!

I keep mine in a closet so they think I’m always in a closet. Really fucks with their heads.
Funny!
Many people keep it in their pockets, even shirt pockets. Holding it all the time is not much better. As for the battery, even if it could be removed, they could hide a secondary solar-powered one under the glass.
I don’t like ‘smart’ phones. Apart from them being intrusive,I find them quite large and heavy. Not so long ago,I accidentally dropped my regular old mobile phone in my cup of lemon and ginger tea.The little screen was full of tea. I can take the battery and simcard out in a matter of seconds. I dried it out in a bowl of rice and hey presto!….the lovely little thing was working perfectly again within a day or two.
‘The Federal government will be testing its nationwide “Emergency Alert System” (EAS) and “Wireless Emergency Alerts” (WEA) today – Wednesday October 4th – at 2.20pm Eastern time.’
what great news, finally!
In NL we have such a system for a very long time now (and we also can’t turn it off). I must say, it has brought us MUCH safety (even though we were also safe before), so as a Dutchman I can only rejoice that such a system is also implemented in the greatest country of the world: the USA!
We have had WEAs for several years. It is an extension of the EAS system. There is a National Test every year… suspended during 2020… for several years. I do not see why it is a big deal now. The EAS system is tested every month by subscribing broadcasters. Because this is hitting cell phones now people are worried?
If anyone thinks this is the way government is going to control you, then you have not seen what they can really do. I have witnessed the FBI geofencing an area during the Summer of Love and reading every text message and social media post sent and received in that zone… including the identity of the person sending/receiving. Believe me, the EAS/WEA system is not your biggest threat.
And people who think they can only surveil your smartphone…. Wrong. They can see what is going over your 1990s flip-phone too. Anything going through the cellular system can be grabbed.
What emergency or emergencies are you talking about?
In Maui where there was an emergency and this system was cut off.
Post WWII many European countries had an Air alarm system tested every Wednesday at noon.
Everybody could hear it. Now it was noon Wednesday. The Spitfires or Luftwaffe could be on their way to bomb.
Are we paying for an emergency system just to have it to look good in case for the human race?
The WEA system has been in effect since 2012. Since then, there have been about 60,000 WEA messages sent. The system in Maui failed for 2 reasons: 1. officials hesitated to send a WEA message; 2. when they decided to, the cellular towers in the area were burned and inoperable.
What emergencies are the WEAs used for? Every AMBER alert that has been issued is on the same system. Evacuation orders for wildfires in the Western United States (I personally have sent over 100 of these). Tsunami warnings on the West Coast of the US after the Tonga Hunga eruption. Flash flood warnings in much of the Southwestern United States. I personally sent two to warn residents of a chemical leak in one neighborhood. I sent one to warn people to shelter in place when a murder suspect was loose in a neighborhood until the police captured him. Over my career in public safety, I have sent nearly 250 WEAs for incidents that pose a threat to the community.
The WEA system is not just for national emergencies. It is available to local agencies and can be drilled down to a small area.
The fact is the vast majority of people do not have a landline, and due to streaming services, do not watch local TV, and do not listen to the radio. The EAS system, which used these traditional methods of communication, reaches fewer and fewer people. But what does almost everyone have? A cell phone. So, if you want to issue an evacuation warning, the best way to do so is with a WEA, and not the traditional EAS.
Try this: pull SIM card, but keep phone turned on in Airplane mode. Will be doing this to see how insistent they are on getting to every phone. If you have more than one phone you can use one as a “control” to see what this emergency message looks like, and the SIM-less in-Airplane-mode device as the “test subject.”
Good luck everyone!
Followup: no alerts on any device regardless of settings or device state. Not even a hint of an alert. Hmm…
Ahem…. It’s a wonder they’re not saying it’s the “Nazis” behind this bullsh*t.
Might as well be, they’re behind all the rest of it. Handled only by exalted Freemasons.
Think I’m kidding?
Just as the 911 system is abused by disgruntled diners using it to complain about poorly prepared meals, what’s to prevent the Feds from declaring everything their political opponents say or write to be an emergency?
Never underestimate how low government can sink to keep
Not understanding your point. The ability for the Feds to broadcast something over TV, radio, and SMS has nothing to do with their ability to declare an emergency or not. They did not need to send a WEA to remove everyone’s freedom during Covid.
The last one sent out in Florida woke people up at 4.45am in the morning.
They apologized and said it was a system error…..
Here’s Why All of Florida Was Woken Up at 4:45 A.M

It was not an error. Everybody are trying to wake you up to act to do something about it.
But you just got irritated and fell back into the American dream with a little stars and stripes flag in your right hand again.
If there was a real emergency it is likely that the communications systems would be down and nonfunctional before an alert could be sent. One pulse bomb strategically detonated in space is all it would take. Another scam to keep us afraid and compliant. Did not know about this “test” until I saw this on Off-Guardian. Will be turning my phone and computer off. Need to alert my family to do the same. Gotta go and send my own alert.
Exactly. Multiple real emergencies have found the system is down. However, this is the same system used for AMBER Alerts. Some emergencies are foreseeable: this system is used to warn of tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, etc. The problem is not the system, it is the users. Too many people worry about sending the wrong message or liability, and so they hesitate. This happened in the Lahaina Fire. Other people use it for everything, like a street closure due to repaving. Some people use the system and should not. A city two counties from me sent an evacuation alert without stating who the sender was (City of…). Their alert was improperly set up and panicked people over two counties. Like any tool, it can be abused or improperly used.
Worked like a charm. No annoying noise. Did not start up when rebooting my devices. However, just watched a video of today’s White House press conference being interrupted by the “test”. Apparently it worked in Washington, DC but not in my house.
You can also just hit the ignore or standby button on your phone… just as you do to a robocaller… and it turns the noise off.
As an Alert & Warning SME, this is just a drill and is planned annually. The schedule for this one was set in January. It is particularly relevant right now since the Hawaiian authorities neglected to use the WEA system during the Lahaina fires. I have also seen broadcasters hacked and false messages sent out. I sent a tsunami warning message in January 2023 for southern California. One broadcaster was hacked and the message from them was “Bitch, run away”. Needless to say there was a lot of uproar over it.
These drills do uncover problems with the system. For example, some carriers do not follow FCC guidance and there is a lot of spillover from what should be localized alerts.
Unfortunately, drills under ideal, pre-scheduled circumstances do not reveal the biggest problem: failure of the system during a real emergency. By the time the authorities decided to issue an alert in Lahaina, the cell towers, which carry the signal, were burned down. In California, during wildfires, cell towers lose power or are burned down. During the typhoon in Guam, the entire system was taken down by high winds and the cell tower system did not have back-up power.
I could discuss this all day… in fact, that is what I do currently (I am an analyst for public safety land mobile radio systems and alert & warning systems and cybersecurity for public safety answering points (dispatch centers).)
I know the government is incompetent and seeking control and power over the population, but “sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.”
Never ascribe to the incompetence of the government and its various tentacles that which can be equally or better ascribed to malevolence.
Agreed, but doing a test of the EAS system, which this is an extension of, is not malevolent. We have had EAS testing for decades. It has to be done by each subscribing broadcaster on a monthly basis. Now, because they are sending it to cell phones it is suddenly a conspiracy? The only complaint I have ever heard regarding EAS testing is that it was scheduled during the Final Showcase of The Price is Right.
Be suspicious of government and, as CJ says, Globocap. But do not be so paranoid that everything turns into a monster under the bed.
True, there have been early warning systems and processes for a long time. People have used lookouts forever. The US Forest Service still uses fire lookouts. But this is different. Why do we need a nationwide alert system? For what purpose will there be a need to warn the entire U.S.A. of an emergency at the same time? The only thing I can think of is something the government, or those controlling it, makes up, does, or causes. This isn’t about a tsunami or hurricane. I’m open to other rational reasons why they/we would need this.
You do know the EAS system, which has been around for decades, is has nationwide capabilities. Right? And it is tested monthly. No one cared about the EAS system being nationwide until technology reached the point of the cell phone. The WEA system, just like the EAS system, is not a nationwide only alerting system. With a WEA you can isolate a warning down to a couple of blocks. I needed to evacuate a small canyon in the county I live in due to a flash flood warning. I could send that message to only the area of the canyon without having to alert the entire county. The system does have nationwide capabilities for the same reason the EAS system has nationwide capabilities. In case of a large-scale incident. The hurricane warnings are not sent out by local agencies. They are sent out by the National Weather Service. That warning may come from the local office, or it may come from a regional, or even the national office. Also, there is still a fear of a nuclear attack. That would certainly be a reason for a nationwide alert. The Federal government, FEMA specifically, manages the EAS/WEA system. It is part of their budget. No state funds their own system.
I think it would be best if everyone did a little reading on what the EAS/WEA system is and how it is used before making speculations. The group of posters for OffG are normally pretty informed, but on this issue most of these comments are way off the mark.
So, the only reason you can come up with for a nationwide alert on our cell phones is a nuclear attack. Right. Sounds like you’re too close to see the forest thru the trees.
You miss the entire point. The system is nationwide, because it is funded by the Feds. A Presidential Alert would be a nationwide alert. However, the system is used almost exclusively for local alerting. The EAS system has been around since the 70s. It also has nationwide capabilities. Just because I cannot think of more than one reason right now does not mean there are not other reasons. We do not know what is going to happen. Maybe an asteroid is heading to Earth. Maybe those UFOs the government claims it has are forward scouts for an invasion. Who knows?
A Ferrari that can go 200 mph, but is never driven that fast, does not mean there is no reason to design a car that can do it.
Sounds like you are looking for hobgoblins where they likely do not exist.
They are doing it so 10 minutes after the start of the end of the world you can all be notified that the end is here and they plan to stop it from happening but they just had to notify you all to keep their grade A status.
That’s the best explanation I can find.
How about the zombie scare? Anyone in for that?
That is not totally ridiculous on a scientific basis. Anyone who follows Sasha Latypova’s work knows that we do not know much about what they put into the fake vaccines other than there was no apparent quality control so various lots should be identical. This was probably intentional to test various toxins and concentrations thereof on the teeming millions. It is loaded with DNA plasmids, purportedly used as a template to make mRNA and not completely removed as (previous) FDA regulations demanded. The RNA in the glop is quite a bit heavier re atomic mass of the polymers than was specified by the “manufactures.” Also many researchers have found graphene oxide in them, a powerful toxin and sensitive to EMF. Also many of the fake vaxxed have been shown to emit a MAC signal afterwards which is easily detectable on a laptop. The Zombie Apocalypse people think that there is a significant possibility that a frequency pulse or a series of pulses with a preset number of different frequencies could trigger something in the fake vaccines. Sort of how Seymour Hersh described the blowing up of the Northstream pipelines, but in this case it is the VAXXED who could be “blown up.”

I wrote this in 2014 or so.
Great song. I read about the warnings of the zombie apocalypse on the CDC site in 2014. I couldn’t believe that it was not a hack. Anyway, I had an old girlfriend who wound up married to a epidemiologist at the CDC in Atlanta. I emailed her to see if it was a hoax or really from the CDC. Of course that was 9 years ago. Today I would assume it was from the CDC. She said that it was a real posting by the CDC, not a hack.
A little late now, but if you are located in the USA, turn off your cell. Then wrap it around four times in aluminum foil and pinch the openings together. Unplug your wifi and computer. Hopefully no one on this site has a TV, but if you do, pull the plug. It is suppose to last from noon until 2 eastern (New York) time.
No problem I live in one of the Celtic countries offshore from Europe.
TV? Not since 1987.

Who said I thought it was ridiculous? I think very little, if anything, is ridiculous other than the mainstream narrative. Thanks for this information by the way!
Is it true that Amazon’s user T&Cs mention an exception to any liability in the event of a zombie apocalypse?
So, the US army and CDC ran simulations of a vague enemy designated zombies in the 2010s. In the covid scam, every jabbed believer and the average person in authority thought it was the unjabbed who were the zombies. Many of them have discovered the truth, but totalitarian censorship continues.
The CDC website has a creepy zombie that is looking from the blinds and they are openly advertising it. Their agenda is very evil and I think that there will be a zombie apocalypse around the corner. Keep a look out for Oct. 11th if the “alert” does not happen today.
After perusing Twitter – or X – I found it increasingly difficult to tell the parody accounts from the “straight” ones – especially in relation to the transgender scam. I would be tempted to call this scam increasingly mad but it was fucking barking from the start. And yet there it is. Take this:
https://twitter.com/IPerenium/status/1709606976810860618
You think that’s a piss take and I’m sure it is but – here’s the thing: when you see what the genuine ones (I think) post, you’d be lucky to spot the difference.
And this isn’t off topic. The covid crap was also stupid from the start. Take that first step and the rest follows.
And this stuff about “Anti-vax conspiracists believe a phone alert will trigger zombie apocalypse”?
You see, we are now living in the age of “post-truth” where the mockery and the sincere stuff are indistinguishable. And the mainstream media can post what they want and even encourage folk to mock it and then take the mockery as “fact”!
It’s as if everything is a switch now. It could go either way.
“This is stupid! But hey maybe it’s not!”
“This is straight up …. but maybe not?”
It’s just NWO & WEF streamlining the new global science of hedging bets.
