11/9 this is a test, or it something else ????

Patently false.

Missing comma. That was an "Oh the drama" piss take.

A system is now in place and being tested on Nov. 3rd to take control of all radio and TV broadcasts.

That specific system was put in place in '94 wasn't it.

So under this "OMG the government controls the airwaves" system participating broadcasters are expected on notification to transmit the EAS stuff and non participating broadasters are expected to cease transmission or to find an EAS message and re broacast that.
You are right, this is shocking new development as it is under a provision from 1934

No such system has ever existed in the US.

Really the system of licencing and regulation tranmissions hasn't existed since the early part of the last century

Riddle me what is this with the Transport people doing checks on errrr.......Transport.
Its gotta be a conspiracy


But hey its breaking news, they have only been doing it for years, maybe you slept through it in that drunken stupor you said you spent decades in

Better that than decades spent in your parents basement. I rather not live in a police state. I should be able to travel any where in the United States without being harrassed by the government. I can't wait for the government to start playing around with the internet I bet that will get your undivided attention.

You are not very good at comebacks are you Yubba
But its nice that you set the paramaters for what you consider as existance. Inebriation until you lose your job or living in your parents basement. Such choices you set before us
But hey thanks for the scary story about transport people in transport, its not quite as good as the secret telescope at the south pole but it certainly demonstrates something very well

Those FEMA-camps do exist, but they are NOT some kind of deathcamp or concentration camps.

After the 2005 hurrican Katrina, where many where homeless, they start to build those camps(that's what I have learned) to prevent this in the future.

FEMA predict that the future hurrican, Tornadoes a.s.o will be more intense.

So there you have it, it's nothing more to it.

Abou this broadcasting test. When would it be the best time to send a test?

Agreed, the camps could be for any number of reasons, two points should be noted.
1) they have not been offcially explained - as far as I know
2) they have been constructed in plain sight (not in secret)

Hell if I know. Dont have any in the UK as far as Im aware....
But yeah, Death camps is extremely far fetched.

All that matters is, that I thought it was pretty good and at the end of the day well you can figure that out. Well what can I say I'm a survior , well I never lost a job over partying and I wouldn't trade one day of, for a life time you spent in the basement, I guess you don't like being a free person as much as I do, I guess you won't be happy till the TSA or some other government agency has a check point right outside the door of your parents basement. So you like the elites south pole scope you should you paid for it.

I think its simply American way to deal with issues like that when they are set on it.
Its very evident in American history when the government is set on projects they do it on big scale.
Building ready camps is probably much more efficient and foresightful than improvising tent cities or such in case on emergency.

provision is setup under Civil Contingencies Secretariat which replaced the civil defence over there. In this country its down to civil defence still.

Yes countries make plans, America does it on a big scale Israel does it on a nationwide scale , Ireland sort of muddles along 'cos hey what was the problem again, and Britain got rid of theirs because of costs in the 90s and then restarted again after problems trying to cope with the foot and mouth.

All that matters is, that I thought it was pretty good and at the end of the day well you can figure that out.

So after editing your lame comeback you still feel the need to try again with another lame attempt that again fails.

So you like the elites south pole scope you should you paid for it.

Hey yubba BTW that secret telescope that is watching the hidden killer planet of aliens wasn't financed by me

The stations that stayed on the air would transmit on either 640 or 1240 kHz. They would transmit for several minutes, and then go off the air and another station would take over on the same frequency in a "round robin" chain. This was to confuse enemy aircraft who might be navigating using Radio Direction Finding.

Really, they're just testing a system that's been around for a while. Emergency systems are pointless if they don't work, and they just want to be sure this one works. Yeesh.

So every nite we get the tests now?
I wouldn't mind if they did not blank out the sound track for a 'test'.
But at lest the 3 to 4 minutes they do this crap I can dig a little deeper.

[Rockstar]

I saw one FEMA camp where they had constructed barb wire fences around it and tall towers on the perimeter. Weird like they wanted to keep people on the inside from getting out.

THIS IS A TEST OF THE SUBSIM EMERGENCY BROADCAST SYSTEM, IF THIS WERE A REAL EMERGENCY YOU PROBABLY WOULD OF BEEN VAPORIZED ALREADY.


Okay I'm done.

Lets face facts.

We have a series of natural disasters lined up for 2012, the worst being a polar shift and solar flares - while niether one is going cause armageddon, they could still potentially be quite nasty.

The global econemy is hanging by a thread, The Euro looks like its not going to make it, Nations are in debt, some are facing bankrupcy, a worst case but not impossible secnario is a total collapes of the current monetary and banking system.

Lastly the population is about to hit 7 billion, (doubled in the last 40 years) the current rate of poulation growth and consumption is fast reaching the point where it will no longer be sustainable. Resource wars are pretty much inevitable.

I just saw this yesterday:

"Dont expect another half century of peace and prosperity"
Angela Merkel, leader of the Germany, 10/26/2011


I hate to sound alarmist but the future is not looking very pretty for us is it?..
At the very least it looks like our quality of life is inveitably going to be stepped down a notch or 3. Time to stop taking things for granted I guess.
I know the above outlook is 'unpopular' but its the reality we all going to have to face up to sooner or later.

IMO much of mankind needs to stop living in denial while trying to fix things with band aids, maybe we need to wake up, grow up and openly admit that we have (to some extent) screwed up - then take it from there.

Lets face facts.
