REPORT: 11/9/11 EAS (Emergency Alert System) USA test

[Kimberley]

I have change the name of this thread to:

REPORT: 11/9/11 EAS (Emergancy Alert System) USA test

Keep reading this thread for the full report... so far...

I have no idea how I got pulled into reporting about this event... and I have no answers as to what it is all about. However something is "up" with this. .. I was just led to gather this information..as it kept coming to me from various sources and when that happens I do what I am led to do... I knew about the EAS test weeks ago and it did jog some curiosity in me due to my personal experience of 35 years working in commercial radio broadcasting... However when the below "Kentucky soldier charged with espionage" article came to my attention this weekend I started doing this research. So as you read through this thread you will see how it came together...

Thank you all for any addition information you have to share on this topic.

To start off I want to be sure to include these 4 suggestions:

Number one: FEAR NOT and if you come into contact with anyone that may be feeling fear remind them of the same.

Number two: DO NOT have your radio or television on at 2pm EST (1pm CST, noon MT, & 11am PST) as this could be some sort of a mind control exercise. Need I say more about that...

Number three: We are in interesting times and it is my suggestion to always be prepared in what ever way you are led to do so and to not be scared!!

Number four: Last but actually the most important.... BE LOVE NOW!!! :luv:

Strange case of Kentucky soldier charged with espionage
Lexington Courts Examiner November 6, 2011

"Specialist Millay believed that the redeployment of these tens of thousands of US troops to America was “somehow” related to the November 9 testing of the United States Emergency Alert System (EAS) that is occurring “coincidentally” with a vast number of disaster drills and exercises being planned for the same time period."

Full article is here:

http://www.examiner.com/courts-in-lexington/strange-case-of-kentucky-soldier-charged-with-espionage



Google "Army Specialist William Millay" for back up reports on this story... I found the above article to be the most complete article of many I found including on pretty main stream news.. like http://www.reuters.com and http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Latest-News-Wires/2011/1101/US-Army-soldier-arrested-on-suspicion-of-espionage

....however they left out the more in depth information..


And in case you are not aware of the 11/9/11 USA National EAS (Emergency Alert System) test you can check this out too...

However there are a few things that I do not agree with in this video..I reported on that a few posts down...

Hmmmmmmmmmm


In a series of e-mails to friends and family that were intercepted by the NSA, the FSB reports, Millay warned when asked what to do, "prepare for the end of the world".

Could be an "interesting" week :)

[Kimberley]

I wanted to make a comment on the above DutchSinse video... He has a couple of things incorrect...

When this 11/9/11 test is run at 2pm EST nation wide it WILL say "This Is A Test" on the radio stations. And what the EAS handbook says is that television stations need to insert their own graphics to make note that "This Is A Test". And I think that part is a bit strange... ???

I read the EAS Handbook for the November 9, 2011 Nationwide EAS test. you can read it here:

so you find it "normal" that so many "test"/"drill" are happening at the same time? And all of them have catastrophic topics?

Also why dont they release the text of the EAS msg? BtW USA has been doing EAS msgs disrupting the broadcasts for many years? on a USA lvl or just locally? cause this is i think for all USA at the same time.

i still think its weird ... as i stopped believing in coincidences...

[jcocks]

two of these events would be a coincidence. But to have so many disaster drills on the same day as a nationwide EAS test.....?
Not a coincidence.

[Etherios]

thats the point ... they are trying to silence temporary at least (even if they drop the charges later) to stop the info from going to public ...

[Kimberley]

This is directly from the EAS Handbook for the November 9, 2011 Nationwide EAS test

The following elements of the Nationwide EAS Test are necessary to ensure a thorough testing of the
national EAS distribution system:

􀁺 The Nationwide EAS Test will use the Emergency Action Notification (EAN) Event code, the Event
code that would be used in an actual national emergency.

􀁺 The test will last approximately 30 seconds.

􀁺 The audio portion of the test will state: “This is a Test.” However, for video service providers (a
category that includes broadcast, cable, satellite, and wireline video providers), the EAN code will
automatically generate a text crawl that will say “A Primary Entry Point station has issued an
Emergency Action Notification . . . “ The text crawl will not indicate that the event is a test. (Please
see page 12 for manufacturer-specific text crawls).

− FCC rules require only that video service providers transmit a visual message containing the
information resident in the EAS header code. There is no EAN test code at this time, and the
information within the EAN header code cannot be altered.

− To minimize public confusion and to ensure that the test is fully accessible, video service
provider EAS Participants are encouraged to insert a separate visual element during the test to
indicate to their viewers that “THIS IS A TEST” if doing so is technically and operationally
feasible and does not interfere with the operation of the underlying test. A model graphic is
provided as Appendix A.

again here is the FCC page where you can download the handbook..
http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/emergency-alert-system-nationwide-test

[Kimberley]

Here is another thing to ponder... this message from FEMA has been going around all over the place and what I do not understand is the note of the test lasting up to 3 minutes/ Hmmm see above direct from the official test handbook... it says 30 seconds... hmmm

**************************************
From FEMA,
National Test of the Nationwide Emergency Alert System

On Wednesday, November 9, 2011, FEMA, DHS and FCC will conduct the first National test of the Nationwide Emergency Alert System (EAS) test. This Nationwide test will kick off at 2 pm (EST) and run concurrently across all time zones.

This system test is the first of its kind designed to broadcast a nationwide message to the American public. In the history of the country, nothing like it has been conducted on such a level. As you may be aware, there have been tests in the past, but not of this magnitude encompassing all regions of the Nation simultaneously. The three (3) minute test will run concurrently on all radio and TV band stations exceeding the previous messages broadcast which were anywhere from a 30 second to 1 minute message.

There is great concern in local police and emergency management circles about undue public anxiety over this test. The test message on TV might not indicate that it is just a test. Fear is that the lack of an explanation regarding the message might create panic. Please share this information with your family and friends so they are aware of the test.

*****************************************
Ok I googled this "The three (3) minute test will run concurrently on all radio and TV band stations"

And got over 900,000 hits yikes... all with the "3 minute" notation message and references to "confussion" .... the first link I put in the short list of examples below is The Downtown Washington DC business improvement web site and it includes this in its version of the EAS test notice:

"The test will run concurrently on all radio and TV band and the message could run up to three (3) minutes. Historically, local emergency broadcast messages ran anywhere from 30 seconds to 1 minute.

In order to miminize public anxiety due to lack of notification, the public is being asked to help pass on information and notification about the EAS Test (flashback to The War of the Worlds). Please share this information with your family and friends."

The official handbook says 30 seconds...

Beck: EAS Test Allows Feds to ‘Seize Control’ of Communications


For the first time, broadcasters will have no choice on whether to partake in the nationwide alert

Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
Tuesday, October 25, 2011

Radio host Glenn Beck has spoken of his fear that the upcoming Emergency Alert System test being conducted by Homeland Security and FEMA on November 9 gives the government the pretext to “seize control” of communications in America, because for the first time broadcasters will have no choice on whether to partake.


Beck explained that in every previous instance where the EAS system was tested, broadcasters were in control of whether or not to flip the switch, although they did face losing their broadcast license if they failed to partake. However, for the very first time, the federal government will have complete control over the broadcast frequency and will be able to override all radio and television stations.

Next month’s test also marks the first time that the alert has been conducted nationwide.

“The nationwide test may last up to three and a half minutes. The public will hear a message indicating that “This is a test.” The audio message will be the same for radio, television and cable,” states a FEMA press release.

Beck warned that the first of its kind test gave the government the pretext to take over all civilian communication outlets under the guise of a national emergency.

“If the state wants to take control…they can just take it and there is nothing I can do about it,” Beck stated, adding that the process “seizes control of the broadcast frequency.”

Beck questioned the timing of the test, asking why it was being conducted in the middle of a work day at 2pm and not at midnight on a Saturday.

“Why are we testing this thing at 2pm on a Wednesday when we don’t even know if this damn thing will work – who does that?” asked Beck, drawing attention to the fact that FEMA has indicated it isn’t even sure whether television broadcasts will display a message or not during the test.

“Who takes the nation’s communications and shuts it down in the middle of a work day on a Wednesday when the whole world is in revolution? That doesn’t help calm things, Mr. President,” said Beck.

The fact that the government has also chosen a date which is the reverse of 9/11 (the 9th of November being 11/9), is also unlikely to reduce anxiety surrounding the test.

[Kimberley]

Ok here is a recap...from my view and research into this EAS test "event":

1. After reading the official EAS hand book that stickily states...

" IMPORTANT NOTE: This handbook will supersede all other EAS Handbooks only during the
operation of the Nationwide EAS Test on November 9, 2011."

...This test was set up to cause confusion!!! Why I do not know however that point is clear:

Why was the test NOT set up to include "This Is A Test" on the video feed?

2. What is the notice too hundreds and hundreds of thousand with the mention of "3 minutes" about? When the handbook clearly says 30 seconds?
...again I do not have the answer, however I am sure asking the question..what's up here and something is very fishy.


3. Why all these drills???

November 9, 2011 (November 9/11) the Medical Reserve Corps will be conducting community medical exercises . Hospital personnel and various first responder agencies from the MidSouth region will participate in community medical exercises. "

This isn’t the first time Exercise Pacific Wave has been done. It was done in 2006 on May 16 and 17 using Philippines and Chile tsunami sources. Java is in roughly the same region as the Philippines and experienced several large devastating EQs (and a tsunami) soon after the exercise.

Pacific Wave was done again from October 28-30, 2008, and used a northeast Japan source.

¤=[Post Update]=¤

Ok I am going to answer some questions that have been asked on this post and then on my next post I am going to get into a short history lesson about systems for alerting the public to emergency situations.

First of all YES I think this nationwide test is fishy in several ways. I have stated that already several times and why.

And here is another page I just found on the FEMM web site (it is very extensive):
FEMA Nationwide EAS test
http://www.fema.gov/emergency/ipaws/eas_info.shtm
it also states "The test will last approximately 30 seconds."

Conducting tests via Radio & TV alerting the public to emergency situations goes back to 1951. And stations must comply with periodic testing and log that testing appropriately or they are in danger of losing their FCC license to operate.

***************
Calz,

I feel some of the questions made in the "Beck: EAS Test Allows Feds to ‘Seize Control’ of Communications" information you posted are good questions. However several of his points are flat out incorrect.

I have bolded my comments.

"For the first time, broadcasters will have no choice on whether to partake in the nationwide alert. Beck explained that in every previous instance where the EAS system was tested, broadcasters were in control of whether or not to flip the switch, although they did face losing their broadcast license if they failed to partake. However, for the very first time, the federal government will have complete control over the broadcast frequency and will be able to override all radio and television stations."

Each station has the option to do the test manually or automatically... this is fully explained in the EAS handbook. And it will only be stations that are automated that will automate the test. Most stations usually do tests manually and this time will be no different.

"Next month’s test also marks the first time that the alert has been conducted nationwide."

Yes this is the first time the EAS has done a simultaneous nationwide test...however the short answer to this is that this is not a big deal in my eyes. If anyone really wants the long answer I will go there if you want.

“The nationwide test may last up to three and a half minutes. The public will hear a message indicating that “This is a test.” The audio message will be the same for radio, television and cable,” states a FEMA press release"

As I have stated several times this 3 minute message is perplexing??? not sure how or where that got started??? I did not find the press release from FEMA he is talking about and as I already said on the FEMA web site it also says "The test will last approximately 30 seconds."

"Beck warned that the first of its kind test gave the government the pretext to take over all civilian communication outlets under the guise of a national emergency.
“If the state wants to take control…they can just take it and there is nothing I can do about it,” Beck stated, adding that the process “seizes control of the broadcast frequency.”

This is just NOT TRUE!!! Unless of course there is some big black-ops technology that is waiting in the wings to takeover the airways that nobody knows about... this test is not a takeover it is mostly a manual operation by each station. And all stations have on and off switches for their transmitters.

"Beck questioned the timing of the test, asking why it was being conducted in the middle of a work day at 2pm and not at midnight on a Saturday.
“Why are we testing this thing at 2pm on a Wednesday when we don’t even know if this damn thing will work – who does that?” asked Beck, drawing attention to the fact that FEMA has indicated it isn’t even sure whether television broadcasts will display a message or not during the test."

Becks asks a good question here about the time of day for the test, However the normal tests that each station must do periodically run all days of the week and at all different times. This does not send up a red flag for me. However I do have a question in my mind if there is some sort of mind control signal in the tone that is broadcast??? Therefore my suggestion to have your radio & TV's shut off during the test.

“Who takes the nation’s communications and shuts it down in the middle of a work day on a Wednesday when the whole world is in revolution? That doesn’t help calm things, Mr. President,” said Beck.

Now this statement really got to me in disagreement for two reasons; 1. it is supposed to be for only 30 second. 2. Too the best of my research knowledge they have been planning and working on this test since at least early July 2011 and yes there was some world wide revolutions happening although the Occupy protests in the USA did not start until September 17th 2011.

"The fact that the government has also chosen a date which is the reverse of 9/11 (the 9th of November being 11/9), is also unlikely to reduce anxiety surrounding the test."

Yes I agree with this statement and add the fact of all the disaster drills & exercises happening on this same date. ?? What's up with that??

I hope this has been helpful.

Coming up soon in my next post ... a short history lesson about systems for alerting the public to emergency situations.

[Mandala]

I can not verify that JPL did some kind of update and changed data. Does anyone else follow JPL closely to know if the data was changed? Mr.Comet watch says it has been altered.

If he is correct 11/9 might be more important than 11/8 when the YU55 was reported to be the closest to earth.

I have not known of JPL or YU-55 until today (that is important because "things and information only show up for me when they are meant to show up) Up until looking at your post Mandala i was not aware of JPL information... thank you ...very interesting...all I can say at this time is that nothing new ever ceases to amaze me!! I again state to you and the universe that I personal admit I really know nothing.. however when I state that I also know, that what is is truth when I see it..as I do know a few things.. heheheeheeh

If the tests are arranged so far in advance, and it is merely a nationwide "synchronized button pushing", what does it actually accomplish?

In an emergency, the environment for organizing the national broadcast would be completely different.

I imagine there is at least some "new" technology or process involved. Otherwise, what's the point?

To my knowledge there is not any new technology as the EAS system has been in place since January 1997.
The part that puzzles me is that on the TV side this has been set up with the knowledge that it will confuse some people and maybe even put them into fear...
And all the other drills that will be taking place tomorrow also... hmmm?? tomorrow will tell.... get out your pop corn :popcorn: and watch the show!! :luv:


**************************************************

And here is some history that I gathered, mostly via Wikipedia... sorry to not post this sooner..

Conelrad (CONtrol of ELectronic RADiation) was set up in 1951 to provide warnings to the public during the Cold War. Upon alert, most stations would go off the air. Each remaining station was to move to either 640 or 1240 kHz, and alternate with other such local stations, supposedly so no enemy Direction Finding equipment could lock onto locations in the US. Or course, most stations were not really that far apart, in air miles, so it was not a very useful system. Actual activations were apparently very few. Used until 1963.

The Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) was an emergency warning system in the United States, used from 1963 to 1997, when it was replaced by the Emergency Alert System.

"The Emergency Broadcast 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] It 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 between 1976 and 1996 to broadcast civil emergency messages and warnings of severe weather hazards.

The Emergency Alert System (EAS) is a national warning system in the United States put into place on January 1, 1997, when it superseded the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS). In addition to alerting the public of local weather emergencies such as tornadoes and flash floods, the official EAS is designed to enable the President of the United States to speak to the United States within 10 minutes[citation needed], but the nationwide federal EAS has never been activated.[1] A national EAS test is planned for November 9, 2011. The EAS regulations and standards are governed by the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau of the FCC. Each state and several territories have their own EAS plan.[2] EAS has become part of IPAWS - the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System, a program of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). EAS is jointly coordinated by FEMA, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the National Weather Service (NOAA/NWS).

The EAS is used on AM, FM and Land Mobile Radio Service, as well as VHF, UHF and cable television including low-power stations. Digital television and cable providers, along with Sirius XM satellite radio, IBOC, DAB and digital radio broadcasters have been required to participate in the EAS since December 31, 2006.[citation needed] DirecTV, Dish Network and all other DBS providers have been required to participate since May 31, 2007.

G'day Kimberley,

Just a bump so I can find this thread later.
Just under four hours 'til the test (that is if I converted EST to AEDST correctly).
Just curious if anyone watched or heard the test and any reactions people might have observed (I anticipate that if it is even noticed it will be mostly ignored).

Oh, and thank you for the informed and informational thread.

Kind Regards, :yo:

One thing is clear and that is they are marshaling their power and forces together to pull off these joint exercises. This is all we know. Amazing how we do not trust their intentions on a individual and collective basis. Avalon is a micro of a much larger macro world around us but we must take note of how little trust there is in good intentions from past acts of these agencies yet we continue to pay for them to exist.

We, participate by fueling them with our attention and fear. We need to project "love" out into the physical, spiritual, auric and ethereal realms over Earth and deep into the Pacific Ocean. Focus on dolphins and whales frolicking in the deep. Sunshine, laughter, happiness, and fruit drinks with little umbrellas. Question is: Can you do this for three solid minutes?


We have great power ourselves, both individually, and certainly much more when we collectively FOCUS. They have timed this for new adjusted projections of Elenin's passage and possible disturbance ~ they don't know what her Celestial passage close to Earth will bring (LOVE BEAMS) but their SOP is to overlay events on top of each other to maximize and draw all energies for their own purposes. So FOCUS ON LOVE! That's all there really is anyway! The rest is small details. Dross to be discarded.

I suggest focusing on a blend of calming waves of love, peace, and prosperity that flow out and over the Pacific and all inland areas surrounding it. Simply do not turn on your radios, TV's or devices for those three minutes ~ so as not to add your energy to the mix whatever they have planned.

It is interesting that this is how they project mischief, these exercises done collectively or they wouldn't be gathering as they did on 911. When a real disaster happens, as we know, they are no where around like Katrina.

They let us know well in advance their intentions even if they aren't broadcasting truth, they do let us know where mischief gathers when we are paying attention. We did pass that event in Denver when they gathered once again recently with other exercises and these proved to be of no real concern or effect.

Again on the day of the earthquakes near Washington D.C. since found to be underground activities that were also neutralized. The expected Hurricane which never came as expected shortly after these other events. This didn't happen either.

We are very effective when we do this focusing with unity of purpose. We can neutralize this one, too.

Be love.
Project love.
Focus on love.

We can project a neutralizing calmness and peace with love tones over the world now just in our thoughts. We can do much more than you ever imagined by the power of our own hearts. They have used our power to control us in the past but now the tables have turned on them. We are reclaiming and restoring power back to ourselves. We are a little rusty at it, but we can remember and do this...

Let love prevail! It's the only thing needed to fuel all universes and galaxies, as well as our own hearts, minds and bodies. And so it is... Let this day be no different. Peace. Be still.

We need to project "love" out into the physical, spiritual, auric and ethereal realms over Earth and deep into the Pacific Ocean. Focus on dolphins and whales frolicking in the deep. Sunshine, laughter, happiness, and fruit drinks with little umbrellas.

Has anyone else noticed there is a full moon on 11/10? ..... and does this make any difference? Does seem another strange coincidence. Don't many more earthquakes, etc., happen during full and/or new moons?

Also interesting coincidence(?)that an epic storm is happening on this date in Alaska where NASA's Big Red X was planted.

On the other hand, should we be looking elsewhere, since the magicians are keeping us focused here? For example, if we have all the Naval forces focused in the Pacific, wouldn't it be a perfect time to have something happen in the Atlantic (Canary Island potential) or Middle East (Iran) so that our Naval forces will take a long time to respond to that other part of the world?

[Mandala]

Okay guys, it is 2:13pm EST did I miss it. If it was on TV, I didn't even notice it. Did anyone see it?

[Calz]

No tv or radio ... only net (although I fully expected to be asleep by now).

Not a blip on the net here ...

[Fred Steeves]

I heard it on local A.M. radio, very amateurish and garbled sounding. The FOX Business Channel announced at the top of the hour it was about to happen, absolutely nothing happened, then the girl comes right back on and says "we're back". Hilarious, they never left! I have no idea what's going on with this deal, but if TPTW are just that incompetent, I'll take it...

Cheers,
Fred

[Kimberley]

I chose to not listen...

Yes I realize there is a full moon tomorrow 3:16 pm EST .

The amount of hoop la is what has intrigued me about this... like I said it has been drill day...

Looking forward to more reports...
Much love :luv:

Fred S..Post 31.... I had my tv on Fox as well knowing they woud make it sensationalized and the screen went to black for 30 seconds and then MeganKelly came back on..I was so surprised that there was no sound, words, picture... nothing on my screen..KIMBERLEY IS IT OK IF I ASK THIS QUESTION ON YOUR THREAD????..... DID OTHER CHANNELS DO THE TEST THE SAME WAY AS FOX (BLANK SCREEN ,NO SOUND)?..JUST WONDERING WHAT THE DIFFERENCES WERE AMONG MAJOR NETWORKS,IF ANY.

BTW I LIVE IN LAS VEGAS AND HAVE COX CABLE SO I DONT KNOW IF THAT MEANS IT WAS FOX OR COX FOR A BLACK SCREEN.

[Kimberley]

KIMBERLEY IS IT OK IF I ASK THIS QUESTION ON YOUR THREAD????..... DID OTHER CHANNELS DO THE TEST THE SAME WAY AS FOX (BLANK SCREEN ,NO SOUND)?..JUST WONDERING WHAT THE DIFFERENCES WERE AMONG MAJOR NETWORKS,IF ANY.

Of course it is ok to ask questions??? that's what we are doing here.. helping each other...

As I said I did not watch or listen, however am interested in the reports... part of this test was to see how well the sytem works and if it was possible to do an EAS alert on all the stations in the USA at the same time... well obviously something did not work for FOX or perhaps The FOX network was making a point...

Part of this drill is that all stations need to send in a form to the FCC to report how the test when at their station. In other words all stations are required to document if the system worked or not.

I just found this report: there is a commercial first:
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/video/national-eas-test-fails-14916246

this is what was supposed to play on FOX network also so that they were black is very interesting... more on that in a minute..

That this report says the test failed and ran for 4 minutes is in my opinion operator error not error of the test.. the operator should have stopped the test after 30 seconds...

A couple of phone switch's went down here just outside of Chicago thats about it here. No net for a few minutes.

THis is more technical but for those that are interested...this is informative..

Written by: Paul McLane

Paul McLane is U.S. editor in chief.

Over breakfast in the last day or so, did your “significant other” look up from the paper or away from the TV news and ask you whether you knew about this “national EAS test thingie”? Did you receive an informational message on your cable TV screen about EAS this week, or maybe an email from your county emergency authorities? If so you weren’t alone.

Today’s EAS test is showing up in the national consciousness, as broadcasters and regulators have been trying to get the word out so listeners and viewers aren’t alarmed.

Meanwhile engineers around the country made final checks that their gear was set up properly to ensure success. Information flew among EAS participants offering each other advice, asking and answering questions, pointing each other to FCC and FEMA resources.



In Los Angeles, SBE Chapter 47 was focused on EAS at its monthly meeting, with expert Richard Rudman speaking.

In San Diego, Bill Thompson, chief engineer for Clear Channel station KOGO(AM), an LP-1 station, distributed an update that was published by the CGC Communicator newsletter. KOGO (like a couple dozen other U.S. stations) recently joined the ranks of Primary Entry Point stations, so it sent an RWT this past weekend from its “new” PEP Sage Endec. “KOGO will air the National EAN as a Primary Entry Point,” Thompson wrote. “The whole thing should work well. However, just in case the EOM tones fail to ‘make the trip,’ KOGO will immediately after the EAN run an RWT, from the studio, just to be sure that EOM tones go out down the line.”

On the opposite coast, the state of Connecticut also has a new PEP station, WTIC(AM). Until recently, Connecticut relied on monitoring PEPs in New York and Boston, an arrangement that left some stations served poorly or not at all. SECC Chair Wayne Mulligan, who is VP of emergency services for the Connecticut Broadcasters Association, told me yesterday that state officials had reviewed and revised their monitoring arrangements earlier this year. Mulligan was calm about the national test, saying the state’s system is tested with RMTs regularly in “pretty much the same way it’ll be run” for the national test today. He received only one question from a state broadcaster looking for help to prepare; that was about setting up a particular encoder/decoder properly. There are about 100 licensed broadcast stations in the state.

He’ll monitor the test from Hartford. “When the test was three minutes long, I thought I’d have time to do quite a bit of monitoring. It’s more difficult at 30 seconds, but I’ll be in the area checking as much as I can.” CBA sent a form to member stations asking them to report to Mulligan so he can compile a “how we did” list.

Some comments I’ve read about the test have carried something of a desperate air, e.g. “Let’s hope we don’t screw this up.” I suppose I understand this vibe; after all, we don’t want radio itself to look foolish or unreliable. But the point of the test is to see how well the system works and to identify areas where it doesn’t. Broadcasters should stress less about this event. Regulators have made clear that this is not an “enforcement activity.” Understand that this is but one step in an ongoing process. Further, if you are among those who are critical of how EAS runs, here’s your chance to document your concerns.
Roll with it today — but take good notes. Anything that happens, good or bad, helps build a better system.

The Emergency Alert System Has Been Tested – What Next?

[Ethereal Blue Being]

Thanks fred..Since we're a couple thousand miles apart then that means it was FOX unless Cox Cable is there too.

[Ethereal Blue Being]

Kimberley I went on the FEMA blog as you suggested above (post # 39) great info and the say the participants have 45 days to submit their detailed report but they also refer several times to wanting input from "stakeholders" .. My question is who are the stakeholders? big corps?, factories? powerplants? government offices? .....Just curious.....

Ethereal,

Good question and I am not 100% sure of the answer however I think "stakeholders" means anyone that has interest in this EAS system including

"To prepare for this test FEMA worked closely with state and local officials, the broadcast community, as well as nongovernmental organizations including the disability and faith-based communities."

Much love :luv:

[RMorgan]

So, did this EAS test happen or not?

[eric charles]

yeah it did raf , nothing to be excited about , check on youtube it was just a very brief interuption with a black screen and well you get the picture hihihi

Yes it happened.. and the black screen was only on Fox channels check post # 35 in this thread and check out the link to a video of what it looked like :

Another date that came and went...really people, what are we doing?
I think by now many should be asking themselves the question but I'm pretty sure they won't because just tomorrow is 11-11-11 and after that.... sorry, which one is the next one?

[cellardoor]

Does anyone else think we have entered a timeline in which we haven't been enslaved or depopulated? One which their plan didn't work? Celestial events like these don't just conveniently match up with our gregorian calender. Terrorist drills and FEMA drills don't just conveniently happen the day of the attack. The Illuminati carry out their plans on certain dates to maximise there effect. This we know, we know that something like this isn't beyond their capability, we know they need a threat from outer space, we know they want to depopulate the earth, we know how twisted and depraved they are. This has been on the cards for decades, and we are just going to brush it off and poo poo it away. If this was indeed a failed attempt at Armageddon, this is the greatest moment humanity has ever witnessed. To watch that tiny bit of rock silently fly by marks the blossoming of a new age of light.

[Ethereal Blue Being]

Cellardoor ..yes everything does feel strange....So many unusual things in a few days time..guess we'll never know..

Kimberley and all there is a big article lead story on CNN website talking about all the glitches of this test. only ONE THIRD of the participants filed their preliminary reports of which 80 to 90 percent had successful tests with their broadcast, cable, satellite signal..so that they are considering a 10% failure rate (of that one third) but in Contra Costa county east of San Francisco Calif. population 1.1 million peoples television picture FROZE up just before the test and when people tried to CHANGE CHANNELS DURING the test THE TVS FROZE UP AND THEY HAD TO TURN OFF THEIR TVS AND CABLE/SATELLITE BOXES AND REBOOT THEIR SYSTEM. anyway the article is lengthy and has alot of detail..

oh and the reports ALL broadcastors have to file within 45 days WILL NOT be made public for security reasons

[Dennis Jonathan]

My concern is this.

If a coordinated effort to synchronize national media outlets did not work, will they use this as basis for a more intrusive system?

Could this test provide the ammunition for an argument in favor of a federal override switch that spans all forms of broadcast media?

Could that have been the point all along?

It may seem a stretch, but it is possible.

Thoughts?

[Kimberley]

Cloud9 I agree with you sentiments about the dates.

However this test did happen and the reason I spent so much time reporting on it was because of the underlying intentional set up for this to instill confusion and potential fear in the populous that are not awake and aware. I wanted the awake and awakening ones here at Avalon to be even more aware than most...

We are at a point in human history that we chose to participate in. The best anyone of us can do at this point of human evolution is to know how powerful of a creator you are. The best anyone can do is to be love in every moment possible. "Love your enemy's" is truth. We have the choice in every moment to chose to hold love or hold onto fear. I chose love..how about you?

So some of the "dates" have been put out to feed fear and some of the "dates" have been put out to hold love. 11-11-11 tomorrow a date that thousands of different events all over the planet are happening in the effort to hold the love. And I am so grateful to be here now and tomorrow to do my part. Thank you for joining us!!

As most who know me know... I am sooooo optimistic about our success as a collective... I know that we are victorious already right this minute and that there are enough people on this planet holding love and being love .. I say we did it... are doing it... That the light is shinning stronger than the dark... I have been saying this and have known this for 3 years now... and I have seen one dark plan after another lessened or not happen and say congratulations :clap2: we are doing it we are raising the vibration of this planet!!!

And yes yes yes "this is the greatest moment humanity has ever witnessed" :pop2: and we are just getting started!!! WHoo Hooo :party: what a fun ride this is!!! :horn: :dance3:

And thank you each and every one of us that has contributed to our success!! I feel so honored to be here in communion with you all!!

So happy 11-11-11 :grouphug: Much love to us all always and in all ways :luv:

Or maybe the government or fema or whoever simply was trying to implement a system to alert the populace of dangerous or emergency events quickly and effectively.

Not everything they do is evil or has subversive intentions.

What makes me feel disgusted is “they” can’t seem to do anything successfully at least that the regular population can tell.

I simply disconnected all the cables to my satellite tv and internet and modems. I turned off my android cell phone and lap top computer and put them in the faraday box because they have wireless capabilities.

Simple measures to manage control and vulnerability on my end.
