PRESIDENTIAL ALERT

[EBounding]

What'd you think? And who's excited to be living out the plot of 1984 or the Hunger Games?

[CaptUSA]

I feel empty. I don't know what actions I could be taking. Like watching a sitcom without commercials - how do I know what to buy??

Next time, I better be given some direction from my Dear Leader.

[olehounddog]

My phone alerted about 6 times. It's BS.

[timosman]

I am guessing they are testing this for Martial Law which should be coming soon. :cool:

I feel like it was literal rape and I was forcibly assaulted by dear leader.

[buck000]

I faced D.C. saluted and had my hand on my chest when it went off. I think I'm OK this time, comrades.

I couldn't possibly care less what any POTUS says, and how this particular POTUS would say it.

I feel safer.

[Danke]

I feel safer.
TheTexan, I hope he wasn't left out.

What did the Saudis/banks want?

[TheCount]

I thought that we were all supposed to kneel, face toward the great dome, and prostate ourselves before our Savior (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?526928-Op-Ed-Can-Trump-Still-Save-America&p=6687847#post6687847).

[pcosmar]

Had this been an actual emergency you would all be phucked.

[Anti Federalist]

Ummm...huh?

WTF did I miss?

[Anti Globalist]

I thought it was supposed to go off at 2:18 pm.

[homahr]

I thought it was supposed to be a text message. But it was like those weather alerts.

[CCTelander]

I feel safer.


Me too. It's comforting to know that his Holy Orangeness can interrupt my day at will with "important" information. Probably preparing us fir WWIII.

[TheCount]

Ummm...huh?

WTF did I miss?

A ciphered message from the God Emperor, may his spray-tan forever be orange, delivered unto us in the form of an emergency broadcast. The best minds (https://voat.co/v/QRV/2763951) are working to decode it as we speak.

[TheTexan]

TheTexan, I hope he wasn't left out.

Trump sent me a text message :cool:

HAHAHAHAHAHA that's so funny HAHAHAHAHAHA

not.

[eleganz]

I don't know, its just a simple test for emergencies, a libertarian friend of mine said it was overreaching government texts that you can't opt out of as if it was some conspiracy to take away our freedoms.

You all know Im not a fan of the government but its just a test and if there is a major disaster, they'd want to be able to let you know. Its pretty harmless.

You are a mere cell in the great national organism.

Through the state, your life will acquire meaning.

Tutto nello Stato, niente al di fuori dello Stato, nulla contro lo Stato!

Did you also feel as if your alert message was a high five straight from the white house, and that it gave you a sense of direct connection with the President (https://voat.co/v/QRV/2763942)?

[heavenlyboy34]

I didn't get any of teh alerts. :) :cool:

Our hearts beat as one.

Why, I'd let him bang my wif...I mean, shut up cuck!

[oyarde]

Nothing here . Of course the govt does not have my number and I won bets all around at work at muh part time job while eating BBQ ribs since I was the only one who did not get it .

DW put her phone on vibrate and put it in her panties, so when the message came, it was like the Alpha Trump was grabbing her by the p***y. I allowed it.

I don't know, from a good perspective, not a bad idea. Wasn't really possible twenty years ago.

[RJ Liberty]

Any bets on how long it will take before the system is either hacked, or some dimwit presses the "this is not a drill, a nuclear war has started; seek immediate cover" button, like what happened earlier this year in Hawaii (https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/03/us/hawaiis-false-alarm-sender-speaks/index.html)?

[Jamesiv1]

The MAGA is pleased with these Presidential Alerts shenanigans.

[KEEF]

Thanks to MKUltra, the only thing I remember was my phone vibrating and then I woke up in a puddle of blood and urine on the other side of the State.

No, in all seriousness, the shit pissed me off. Thought 1984.

[pcosmar]

Ummm...huh?

WTF did I miss?

I meant to miss it,,

but turned the phone on to call little sis on her birthday, and forgot to turn it off...

I don't have text on my phone,, but there was a text message.

it went away.

[Pauls' Revere]

I got a thrill up my leg like Chris matthews.

I have a mental picture of DJT being told that a doomsday asteroid has been
spotted near Pluto and that it is predestined to hit Earth unless the brave lads
of SPACE FORCE fly out to meet and hopefully blow it completely up. You know
he'd TWEET to a captive audience on the FEMA Network, rendering all phones
almost useless for any long conversations where we tell loved ones "good bye".

[Schifference]

I for one am grateful. I was worried they would not have my number. This system really works. I was notified. Now I feel that big brother is actually looking out for me.

Lol my sarcasm radar is broken but yes I agree. I'd rather have a heads up of an imminent disaster than to find out when its too late.

The main thing is that you feel safe..

Makes sense. In the event of an emergency, they probably wouldn't want everybody to get the warning.

Buy alerts? Sell alerts?

Oh wait... that's right... privileged, but not THAT privileged.

Tracking chip seems about right...

Yeah it is time for the annual finger wave. I'll have to call my physician about that.

[donnay]

This isn't new folks...


"The system was established to provide the President of the United States with an expeditious method of communicating with the American public in the event of war, threat of war, or grave national crisis."[1] The Emergency Broadcast System replaced CONELRAD on August 5, 1963.[2] In later years, it was expanded for use during peacetime emergencies at the state and local levels.[1]

Although the system was never used for a national emergency, it was activated more than 20,000 times[citation needed] between 1976 and 1996 to broadcast civil emergency messages and warnings of severe weather hazards.

Nope. Nothing new. Just the method of delivery. But recognize: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_Alert_System#False_alarms

Oh yeah I know the '71 false alarm. However people are acting like this is something new, of which it isn't. If I don't want to be tracked I throw my phone away. ;)

People want and love this technology. This is why I am more concerned about the Technocrats rather than government at this point and time.

Excellent.

This says it all...

[Bern]

The EFF says McAfee is wrong:
...
McAfee’s tweet gets two key things wrong about this system: There is no such thing as an E911 chip, and the system does not give “them” the information he claims. In fact, the Presidential Alert does not have any way to send data about your phone back to the mobile carrier, though your phone is sending data to mobile carriers all the time for other reasons.
Privacy Issues with Enhanced 911

This isn’t to say that there aren’t serious privacy issues with the E911 system. The E911 system was developed by the FCC in the early 2000’s after concerns that the increased use of cellular telephones would make it harder for emergency responders to locate a person in crisis. With a landline, first responders could simply go to the billing location for the phone, but a mobile caller could be miles from their home, even in another state. The E911 standard requires that a mobile device be able to send its location, with a high degree of accuracy, to emergency responders in response to a 911 call. While this is a good idea in the event of an actual crisis, law enforcement agencies have taken advantage of this technology to locate and track people in real time. EFF has argued that this was not the intended use of this system and that such use requires a warrant.

What’s more, the mobile phone system itself has a huge number of privacy issues: from mobile malware which can control your camera and read encrypted data, to Cell-Site Simulators which can pinpoint a phone’s exact location, to the “Upstream” surveillance program exposed by Edward Snowden, to privacy issues in the SS7 system that connects mobile phone networks to each other. There are myriad privacy issues with mobile devices that we should be deeply concerned about, but the Wireless Emergency Alert system is not one of them.
