Betcha, no one will be fired, no one held accountable. The union for the government worker will step in and declare that there was not enough adequate training for the person to determine which button is for what. I mean after all, how many times does this person actually drill for this scenario?


I hate it when I'm right... https://nypost.com/2018/01/14/worker-who-sent-out-hawaii-missile-alert-re-assigned/


The Hawaii public employee who plunged the state into chaos by accidentally sending out an incoming-missile emergency alert Saturday has been re-assigned, according to reports.

The unnamed emergency-department worker will not be fired because he made an honest mistake, said Hawaii Emergency Management Agency spokesman Richard Rapoza to the Washington Post.

“Part of the problem was it was too easy — for anyone — to make such a big mistake,” Rapoza said. “We have to make sure that we’re not looking for retribution, but we should be fixing the problems in the system. … I know that it’s a very, very difficult situation for him.”

The agency has already put in place new safeguards to prevent such a misfire — including a “cancel” button that will immediately send out corrective alerts when an erroneous warning is issued, officials said Sunday.

Some heads should roll over this blunder. SMH

Feh... are you serious?

This will pass into the mists, challenged in no substantive way. Were the people of Hawaii to take real action, I'd amend my opinion. As things stand, I am confident there will be no plate of crow to eat, which is the real pity. You know things are bad when someone such as myself wishes to be justly regarded as the village idiot.

Any heads that roll will be those of relative innocence and no consequence whatsoever to the governing orthodoxy.

Think about it in some depth: if this cannot bring a population to rise in fury to strike down that which so clearly treats them in such shabby disregard, I cannot readily envision what might. Thirty seven minutes of thinking there are warheads inbound must seem like that many eternities. Imagine the thoughts and emotions racing through parents for their children. Those same people will fail to rise and take care of business. I suppose they deserve the abuse of the yokes placed about their necks.

This leads my inner software engineer to wonder how their systems are designed, that a mere changing of the guard could lead to this sort of result. The only other possibility is that the man who set this fiasco into motion did so with knowledge and intent, in which case he should spend many years in Leavenworth doing the rocks thing. From a GUI design standpoint, there should be at least three levels of confirmation, properly formatted, through which one must traverse before such messages go out into the wild. Proper design and implementation of such a filter is not particularly difficult. If it is missing, some very serious questions should arise. If not, well...

Loathe as I am at times to trust Jones, what he says early on about five failsafe measures makes perfect sense. I've worked MILSPEC in the past and imbecilic as most things governmental tend to be, the MILSPEC with which I have had direct contact has been quite good. I can barely imagine that systems such as early warning would be designed so haphazardly as to allow for an error such as this to occur by "accident". That this is being so peddled leaves me inclined to side with Jones. The claim reeks of bullshit.

I will say one other thing about such systems: I cannot for the life of me imagine that such a message could be sent without alerts popping up in splash screens on every terminal in the facility in question. I further cannot imagine that such messages would not show up at DoD and possibly the White House itself. It's not as if this was a report that Sgt. Bilko has a nosebleed.

This is also why the official story about Behghazi is a lie. When an embassy puts out an SOS, every US embassy on the planet gets a copy. Every top-tier military terminal receives it, as does State, DoD, and so on. That is how these sorts of messages operate. Both civilian and military bodies are alerted, worldwide.

That this went on for 37 minutes reeks either of malicious intent, or bottomless incompetence. I am more inclined at this time toward the former.

It will be very interesting to see how Trump responds to this, materially speaking.

Commander-in-Chief does have to be informed before any defensive use of a nuclear response -
as I understand he would have 3 minutes, once verified, to make a decision with a code he carries.
Possible this is a malicious provocation, and when WH would have been informed will be of interest - someone somewhere tested Trump/WH response (?)

Hawaii Democrat: false missile alarm shows Trump failure on North Korea
Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard says state takes blame for panic but claims it revealed flaws in White House approach to nuclear-armed Pyongyang

The false alarm about a ballistic missile strike that terrified Hawaiians on Saturday showed Donald Trump’s policy on North Korea (https://www.theguardian.com/world/north-korea) is wrong, a Democratic US representative from the state said on Sunday.

“What makes me angry,” Tulsi Gabbard told CNN’s State of the Union, “is that yes this false alarm went out and we have to fix that in Hawaii but really we’ve got to get to the underlying issue here, of why are the people of Hawaii (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/hawaii) and the US facing a nuclear threat coming from North Korea?
“And what is this president doing, urgently, to eliminate that threat?”
Trump was on the golf course in Florida when the alert went out on Saturday morning, Hawaiian time. The alert text read: “Ballistic missile threat inbound to Hawaii. Seek immediate shelter. This is not a drill.”
“It was definitely kind of a panic zone,” Ashley Trask, 39 and from Kauai, told the Guardian. “Everyone knows you have about 15 minutes until detonation and no one knows where it will land.”

Family members “called us and they were crying because they realized they wouldn’t have made it to us”, Trask said.

Sony Hackers Flash Disturbing New Warning on Staffers’ Computers

This is the fourth known time the #GOP has contacted the studio. The group previously accessed dozens of Sony employee computer screens in late November, displaying a similarly ominous image when staff tried to log in for work. See a screenshot here (http://www.thewrap.com/sony-pictures-computer-system-remains-in-hackers-grip/).

Even more frightening than the menacing images, on December 5 an email was sent threatening the well-being of employees and their families.

North Korea could respond to a DEVASTATING Donald Trump attack using 'HACKED war plans' (https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/904093/North-Korea-Kim-Jong-un-latest-news-update-Donald-Trump-World-War-3-Pyongyang-USA)

NORTH Korea's potential responses to a devastating attack from Donald Trump have been examined by a former nuclear strategist for the Pentagon who has warned the US against giving kim Jong-un a “bloody nose”.

By Joseph Carey
Sat, Jan 13, 2018

Van Jackson has a history of bracing America for North Korean attacks after spending years “figuring out how to prevent or overcome future attacks”.
The defence expert analysed the available options to the despot leader in the event of an attack.
He explained: “If the United States attacked a North Korean missile site, Kim’s immediate challenge would be trying to determine in real time whether the United States just launched a full-blown war.
“Keeping in mind that North Korean hackers stole alliance war plans last year, Kim will look for specific indicators to quickly render this judgment.”

I remember one of my first experiences with Indian programmers. They used the same passwords in all environments (dev, testing environments, production). They hard coded passwords in programs. They used no source control at all. Not hard to see how easy that would be to go wrong. Not saying that this system was outsourced to an Indian company, but for tests to accidentally go against production is plausible.

A situation where they thought they were doing it in a test environment and accidentally some portion was executed in production.

I trust you know there is virtually zero chance of this happening. Even if done in a production environment as a live test, the messages going out would go to a simulator, which is little more than the bit-bucket. That way, the messages that would be otherwise sent to systems that would broadcast them to the world can be intercepted, verified, and validated as proper in format, content, and target distribution.

Prior to executing such a test, which would most likely be conducted at 2AM or thereabouts, the target system - the dummy/simulator/bit-bucket would be confirmed by multiple operators as being the sole target to which messages are going. With something like this, there can be no fucking around. I've been top-dog on a large number of major test initiatives for various large OSSes (Operations Support Systems). There was no making mistakes of the sort I've described. This is trebly the case for live testing of something like early warning systems for what I assume are very obvious reasons.

There are two major reasons for testing such systems: to verify and validate function and do the same with operations training. The former tests the actual system, the latter the people who are to use it. If you are testing the software, generally speaking you do it in a test environment, wholly segregated from any live avenue. If you are testing the crew's abilities, you send dummy messages over the live system at 2AM with many eyes on what actually goes into the wild, with fast-response, single-button contingency plans in place for when something goes wholly awry, as was the case here. If a TINAD message (This Is Not A Drill) goes out by mistake, a single button is all that is necessary to make the proper amends.

This brand of testing is all about contingency planning for when things go wrong in the live environment. Those plans were not in evidence here, which means either they don't exist or they were consciously left at the curb. Either way, I'd say there are some rather thorny questions that need to be answered and warm bodies that need to go to the military barracks for a very long time.

Imagine if someone had committed suicide in fear or despair because of this reckless act? This cannot be tolerated in any measure and IMO the treatments need to be draconian, applied at the highest levels possible.


I remember one of my first experiences with Indian programmers. They used the same passwords in all environments (dev, testing environments, production). They hard coded passwords in programs. They used no source control at all. Not hard to see how easy that would be to go wrong. Not saying that this system was outsourced to an Indian company, but for tests to accidentally go against production is plausible.

I never permitted outsourcing whenever I held that authority, which was not often. However, I did have some measure of success in persuading decision-makers not to hand the life-blood of their operations over to strangers whose loyalties and integrity are questionable at best.


Judging by some of the leftist talking points this morning, if this was intentional, the intent may have been to get a reaction from Trump, and push the "Trump is unstable" ploy. They are pushing that anyway when discussing this. Paraphrase: "This just highlights how dangerous it is to have an unstable President".


Perhaps, but I would not be able to accept this at least until a plausible command source were identified. Who has the power to make this happen and what benefit might they derive from it?

That said, I still find it unlikely because the payoff remains in deep question. The risk to payoff ratio seems very high to me. Not only is a ploy such as this unlikely to make any net hay, the wake leaves someone, somewhere having to answer a host of rather pointed questions.


Wouldn't be surprised to hear a report this week from some anonymous source that Trump wanted to fire missiles in response and they had to stop him. That would be a media/leftist dream.

Now THAT I find plausible. We will see, soon enough.

Even where the prognosis is hopeless, people scramble to survive. I cannot blame them a whit for doing what they did. Can you imagine what it must have been like?

Hawaii missile alert: How one employee 'pushed the wrong button' and caused a wave of panic

Shortly after 8 a.m. local time Saturday morning, an employee at the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency settled in at the start of his shift. Among his duties that day was to initiate an internal test of the emergency missile warning system: essentially, to practice sending an emergency alert to the public without actually sending it to the public.

It was a drill the agency had started with some regularity in November — around the time Hawaii reinstated its Cold War-era nuclear warning sirens amid growing fears of an attack by North Korea — and so, while the tests were not yet routine enough to be predictable, they were not entirely new either, according to an agency spokesman.

Around 8:05 a.m., the Hawaii emergency employee initiated the internal test, according to a timeline released by the state. From a drop-down menu on a computer program, he saw two options: "Test missile alert" and "Missile alert." He was supposed to choose the former; as much of the world now knows, he chose the latter, an initiation of a real-life missile alert.

"In this case, the operator selected the wrong menu option," HEMA spokesman Richard Rapoza told The Washington Post on Sunday.
...
Part of what worsened the situation Saturday was that there was no system in place at the state emergency agency for correcting the error, Rapoza said. The state agency had standing permission through FEMA to use civil warning systems to send out the missile alert — but not to send out a subsequent false alarm alert, he said.

Of course. People were taking this incoming missile alert seriously, running into shelters as well while sirens going off.

fwiw, one Hiroshima survivor who touched nothing but just walked many miles to her family home witnessed screaming people jumping off bridges into water or drinking water in panic and instantly dying by her account- although another had dived into an indoor swimming pool and was underwater at the instant of detonation and got out - he survived to tell his account as well, with burned skin - but classmates at the side of the pool at the city college did not.

Panic based media.. has been prepping folks.

It is just sad,, on many levels.

Sad that anyone would believe it.
Sad that someone would do it.

sad that there was an infinitesimally small chance that it could possibly be true.

and stupid.

Come on.. You all are some of the best minds on the web.
Do any of you seriously believe Kim*** would seriously waste his one and only nuke (assuming one works) on Hawaii ? Just for lulz?
and that assuming it could actually make it that far..

Seriously :(

We don't Pete.

But "we" are a tiny minority.

The vast, vast, vast majority of people have been steeped in "trust and obey authority under all circumstances".

So if "authority" blares through every single electronic communication outlet with a "HIT THE DIRT! INBOUND MISSILES! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!" message, the great vast majority of people are going to believe it and react accordingly, which is to say: "when in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout".

And they will do it again and again and again, no matter how often "authority" is wrong.

All I have to do to prove that is point at the "Class Five Killstorm" hysteria that gets spun up and out of control every time a hurricane or winter storm spools up.

The Hawaii public employee who plunged the state into chaos by accidentally sending out an incoming-missile emergency alert Saturday has been re-assigned, according to reports.

The unnamed emergency-department worker will not be fired because he made an honest mistake, said Hawaii Emergency Management Agency spokesman Richard Rapoza to the Washington Post.

“Part of the problem was it was too easy — for anyone — to make such a big mistake,” Rapoza said. “We have to make sure that we’re not looking for retribution, but we should be fixing the problems in the system. … I know that it’s a very, very difficult situation for him.”

The agency has already put in place new safeguards to prevent such a misfire — including a “cancel” button that will immediately send out corrective alerts when an erroneous warning is issued, officials said Sunday.

Japanese broadcaster issues false North Korea ballistic missile alarm urging people to take shelter just three days after alert caused panic across Hawaii

A Japanese broadcaster has issued a false North Korea ballistic missile alarm just days after a phone alert warning of a possible strike caused panic across Hawaii.

The NHK network sent out the warning urging people to take shelter on its internet and mobile news sites as well as on Twitter today but apologised and corrected the error within minutes.

It was not immediately clear what caused the false alarm which comes amid heightened tensions between Tokyo and Pyongyang.

Last year, Kim Jong-un's regime fired a test missile over the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, where thousands were awoken by air-raid sirens.

Today's false television alert comes just three days after a blunder caused more than a million people in Hawaii to fear that they were about to be struck by a nuclear missile.

The government class is a protected privileged class. Can you imagine if a private citizen accidentally sent a message to say a hospital or school that there was a bomb there about to go off, and they freaked and evacuated the building, and then the citizen waited nearly 40 minutes to tell them it was a mistake. What would happen to that citizen? Would the government say, oh just a mistake, and protect their identity? They'd be seeking long time prison terms.

Yet, when a member of the elite government class commits the largest bomb scare ever, not only no charges, but no punishment and protects that person, and the complicit superiors that authorized and approved the system that made such a mistake so easy and thus likely.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/meteor-explodes-brilliant-flash-over-michigan-180967861/


The blast caused a magnitude 2.0 earthquake and likely scattered small hunks of space rock in the region


JANUARY 17, 2018

On Tuesday night, the sky over southeast Michigan lit up with a dazzling flash, a loud boom resounded and the ground trembled. Some locals wondered whether the region had been hit by a freak lightning strike, a bomb or even a UFO. But as Lindsey Bever of the Washington Post reports, it was soon determined that the cause of the mysterious flash was a rare astronomical phenomenon: a meteor exploding in Earth’s atmosphere with a fiery blast.

“[T]his was a very slow moving meteor — speed of about 28,000 miles per hour,” NASA’s Meteor Watch writes on its Facebook page. “This fact, combined with the brightness of the meteor (which suggests a fairly big space rock at least a yard across), shows that the object penetrated deep into the atmosphere before it broke apart (which produced the sounds heard by many observers).”

The United States Geological Survey confirmed that a meteor had fallen and reported that the blast had caused a magnitude 2.0 earthquake centered about 5 miles from New Haven, Michigan according to Karma Allen of ABC News. But the brilliant fireball was observed across six states and in Canada.

Meteors are “bits of interplanetary material” that penetrate the Earth’s atmosphere and are heated to incandescence by friction, as NASA explains. (The objects are called “meteoroids” as they fly through space, becoming meteors only as they burn up in the sky.) Meteors enter the atmosphere at least once a month, Bill Cooke, lead for NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama, tells Bever. But he notes that it is “very rare” for the objects to produce a fireball that is observed by so many people. Most often, bright-burning meteors either break up over sparsely populated areas, are masked by the sun or fall late at night when most people are asleep.

Those lucky enough to observe the unusual event were suitably awed. “All of the sudden, the whole yard started getting brighter, kind of yellowish-orange, like a flashbulb, then got black,” Michigan resident Mike Tarkowski tells Mark Hicks of the Detroit News. “It was something big and it was something up in the air.”

The American Meteor Society says it received more than 355 reports about the fireball. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the “Michigan Meteor” now has its own Twitter account.

The NASA Meteor Watch notes in its Facebook post that the explosion likely produced meteorites—chunks of interplanetary rock and metal that survive the atmospheric plunge and fall to the ground.

“Pieces of an asteroid lying near Detroit?” the group writes. “Let’s see what the meteorite hunters find.”

The "False Alarm" (https://www.globalresearch.ca/hawaiis-false-alarm-and-the-advanced-preparations-for-war-against-north-korea/5626356)

The “false alarm” delivered to a population of 1.5 million in the US Pacific island state of Hawaii on Saturday morning has laid bare the clear and present danger of a nuclear war. …

The fact that this event is so rapidly disappearing from the front pages of major newspapers and is being reduced to a secondary story by television news is itself a disturbing indication of how much more is involved in the Hawaii ballistic missile warning than the public is being told.

The corporate media, working in tight coordination with the US government, is in full containment mode. Monday night, all three US television networks broadcast virtually identical reports … the official story that the chaos was caused by the inadvertent error of a single employee. …

The event and its implications are being minimized. No one is going to conduct an investigation and present findings to the public. There will be no televised public hearings before the US Congress.

The explanation being put out by the state and federal authorities, and parroted by the media, fobs off the nuclear war alert as a mere accident triggered by a single careless worker … The unnamed individual supposedly selected the wrong computer menu option … There is no reason that anyone should blindly accept this official story as true. Given the record of the US government in staging provocations and launching wars based upon lies …

How could such an accident happen? .. a major public event is shrouded in secrecy. Why has the individual allegedly responsible for the “accident” not been named? … At the very least, the single individual who is being blamed for the colossal error should have the right to tell his or her side of the story. … that does not explain why it took a full, excruciating 38 minutes for the authorities to send out a follow-up message announcing that the warning had been a “false alarm.”

Even if one were to accept the authorities’ version of events … such an “accident” constitutes a devastating indictment of the criminal indifference of the US ruling establishment toward the lives and safety of the American people. The existence of such a ramshackle system, employing absurdly primitive software and technology as the supposed first line of defense. …

The significance of Saturday’s nuclear war alert becomes clear only within the context of the advanced state of preparations for a US war of aggression against nuclear-armed North Korea.
Monday in a front-page article published by the New York Times. Absurdly, the piece begins, “Across the military, officers and troops are preparing for a war they hope will not come.” Yet the substance of the article makes clear that what is being prepared is not a defense against a North Korean attack, but rather the invasion and conquest of the East Asian country. …

for the first time in years, more than 1,000 US Army reservists have been called up for active duty to man “mobilization centers” used for the rapid movement of troops overseas. The preparations also include a plan to deploy large numbers of Special Operations troops to the Korean Peninsula under the cover of providing security for next month’s Winter Olympics.

these actions begin to resemble the run-up to the US war of aggression against Iraq in 2003 …

That the Times article appeared at all … makes it clear that the military preparations are of such a magnitude that they are becoming broadly known, requiring the “newspaper of record” to attempt to manage the news. …

Trump and his aides reportedly are toying with what has been termed a “bloody nose” attack …

Within this context, the “accidental” nuclear alert in Hawaii emerges as a necessary link in the chain of preparations for a catastrophic war. Was the “false alarm” itself one more military exercise? Were the people of Hawaii used as guinea pigs to test the public reaction …

There is no question that once the incoming missile alert was issued in Hawaii, the government and the military, not only in North Korea, but also in China and Russia, were compelled to make their own rapid estimates as to what it meant and how they should respond. The logical conclusion would be that Washington was staging a false pretext for all-out war. No doubt, military units were placed on alert, weapons were readied or moved and other preparations for possible nuclear conflict were carried out, all under the watchful eyes of US spy satellites, providing intelligence that could prove vital for a planned US invasion of North Korea. …

Rumor is the cabal fired a missile from a sub as a false flag to pressure Trump into war with Korea and also take out the Clintons and Huma who were there at the time as they have become great liabilities. Apparently it was shot down and the sub was sunk.

U.S. Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii said on Thursday that state and local governments should be prevented from sending missile alerts like the errant one that roiled his state this month.

At a Senate Commerce Committee hearing Thursday, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) disclosed that the employee who sent the errant alert will not speak to investigators.

Schatz, a top Democrat on the committee, said at the hearing he was introducing legislation that would clarify that only the federal government could send nuclear alerts.

The Senate Commerce Committee is planning another hearing about the Hawaii alert, and a U.S. House of Representatives panel will also hold a hearing.

And the story changes again. The most amazing thing that happens with every single one of these type of events is how multiple officials with straight faces and absolute certainty will tell the public and media whatever nonsense is first generated.


"There were no procedures in place to prevent a single person from mistakenly sending a missile alert" in Hawaii, said James Wiley, a cybersecurity and communications reliability staffer at the FCC. There was no requirement to double-check with a colleague or get a supervisor's approval, he said, according to the News Tribute

As the NT explains, citing the FCC statement, the employee heard a recorded message that began by saying "exercise, exercise, exercise" - the script for a drill. Then the recording used language that is typically used for a real threat, not a drill: "this is not a drill." The recording ended by saying "exercise, exercise, exercise."

The worker did not hear the "exercise, exercise, exercise" part of the message and believed the threat was real, according to the employee's statement. He responded by sending an alert.

Additionally, software at Hawaii's emergency agency used the same prompts for both test and actual alerts, and it generally used prepared text that made it easy for a staffer to click through the alerting process without focusing enough on the text of the warning that would be sent.

#27 and #28 – Kevin Ives & Don Henry – Known as “The boys on the track” case.
Reports say the boys may have stumbled upon the Mena Arkansas airport drug operation.
A controversial case, the initial report of death said - "due to falling asleep on railroad tracks."

Later reports claim the 2 boys had been slain before being placed on the tracks.
Many linked to the case died before their testimony could come before a Grand Jury.


On Sunday, August 23, 1987, at around 4:00 a.m., the bodies of the two boys were spotted by the crew of a Union Pacific locomotive near Crooked Creek trestle in Alexander (Pulaski and Saline counties) (http://www.encyclopediaofarkansas.net/encyclopedia/entry-detail.aspx?entryID=6419). The bodies were lying between the tracks, wrapped in a pale green tarp; there was a gun nearby. The train was unable to avoid running over the bodies. The train’s crew immediately reported the incident to railroad officials and to local law enforcement at Benton (Saline County) (http://www.encyclopediaofarkansas.net/encyclopedia/entry-detail.aspx?entryID=979), where the train had come to a full stop. By 4:40 a.m., local and state police had arrived at the scene and begun investigating. At first, local officials treated the incident like an apparent suicide despite the objections of the train crew. Reportedly, no tarp was found by the police, but they did take in a shattered .22 caliber rifle as evidence.

If something concrete doesn't happen before the mid-terms I'm going to become more skeptical and if nothing happens before the 2020 election I will decide until futher notice that we are dealing with this Q:


I'm already seeing responses to questions about why nothing is happening (despite all the Q crap), on other forums, contain something akin to "well, Trump can't do anything until the end of his first term. Be patient!" :rolleyes:

That's three years away. I expect it'll always be some version of draining the swamp soooooooon, while the noose on the people gets tighter and tighter. 'House of Cards' seems to have just switched from Netflix to CSPAN.

Half of me agrees with you, but the other half points out all the weird things that I never would have believed until they happened.

But the mid-terms are vital and so is 2020, if Q and friends are real they MUST do something concrete and earth shattering to affect them, failure to do so will prove that the Q Continuum is just toying with us.

Keep in mind that the best disinfo is 80% truth with 20% misdirection and distraction. I've thought that "QAnon" is GCHQ (or perhaps In-Q-tel/CIA, basically the same entity as GCHQ), who would know what the future holds. How better to keep the sheep waiting for Trump to save them than to provide some truth to build credibility and trust, like you have seen, but then misdirecting away from the 20% that Trump is not actually going to save them?
