Communication Alert 2: Notice to All Smartphone Users
self | jimjohn

Posted on 01/10/2021 7:45:22 AM PST by jimjohn

There have been reports that companies such as Apple (maybe others) are planning an update to disable the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) which is mandated by law on all smart phones. While we cannot confirm this, it is clear that actions are being directed against certain platforms and individuals due in part to certain political agendas. These actions have escalated since January 6, 2021, and taking place in a coordinated fashion.

As a pro-active measure, we strongly suggest persons receiving this message do the following:

1. Disable the auto-update feature on all network connected two-way communication devices. This would include smartphones, tablets, laptops, even watches. At the time of this writing, information on how to update these settings are still searchable. There are technical work arounds if updates are needed.

2. To all small and medium business using cloud based services: We suggested a nightly backup of all sensitive data to a local drive (i.e. detachable from the downloading device) with a routine retention policy (e.g. delete backups after a certain number of days). Note to businesses: Your company web staff should know how to do this, but insist that you - and not the web staff have a copy in your possession. All persons should download and keep hard copies of your personal contacts in case of operating system error.

3. Obtain the IP address of your websites where you receive information important to you. Use this in the event of domain traffic interruption.

That is all.

Defense is our only war game.

The cabal is in panic. They are playing defense.

There are patriotic forces working now on strong offense.

Case in point - Nanzi's office laptops "stolen", are in hands of special ops military. Nanzi panics, asks DOD to stop Trump, committing high treason - asking for a military coup.

“I get that we’re waiting for something to happen, but why would they disable EBS when they’ll control it in 10 days.”

To prevent the flow of info to the masses. Gotta control the message doncha know.

I appreciate your thoughts...

my reply in example would be CHINA

you ever tried to get to a pro freedom site in china.

blocked, and the next 15 minutes will be the last you every have to have been stupid enough to have typed that address in the clear.

He who runs the routers rules the world. If you do not understand that then you need to have a quiet think in the corner.

They would disable EBS to stop any “UNAUTHORIZED” information that is NOT told to us by the MSM..

That is why the EBS is VITAL for them to knock out.

Verizon modifies the OEM software on Verizon sold phones.

I noticed that on my first Samsung android phone from Verizon.

Features Samusung said - in the user manual - were on the phone, had been removed (or hidden from access) by Verizon.

On my current Samsung android phone from Verizon, the ability to turn off OS updates has been removed. There is no “setting” in the entire settings menu, anywhere for turning OS updates off.

I spent 16 years programming Cisco Routers and Switches for Enterprise level Customers who have worldwide networks, so I know what a router is and how they work

Besides the emergency alert systems doesn’t just come in on computers and phones, it’s also broadcast on radio and TV, so are powers to be going to take them down as well...

One will know when this is happening just like this past Summer, when most all smart phones went down so the tech companies could add the China Virus tracking app to users devices.

Allen Weiner has pledged to keep going until they show up with guns.

And probably others, just keep tuning around, especially in the evenings. If you hear Brother Stair, then everything is probably OK.

The thing is, I do not see how they CAN disable the EAS (For those used to saying ‘EBS’, that system is no longer in operation. The EAS- Emergency Alert System- is what we now have.).

The EAS has to be operational everywhere and for every available platform BY LAW. It’s not just for national emergencies. It’s for local and regional disasters and emergencies as well (earthquakes, fires, floods, Amber Alerts, etc.).
If, G-d forbid, we get attacked by, oh...I don’t know...China perhaps...the White House has to be able to inform the American public what’s happening.

What Patriots are possibly expecting to happen is for Trump to get out a message over the EAS as a last-ditch option to tell us to “take the country back” and have us attack the Leftists...in other words, start CWII. I, for one, do not believe that is even possible, based on what I know about the EAS. I worked in radio for several years and studied both the EBS and EAS...it’s kind of a fascination for me.

Well there are a couple truisms about network tech you are proving you have no knowledge...

If you let me touch your keyboard, all bets are off...

It only takes a few keystrokes to redirect anything to /dev/null...

If you don’t get those then you don’t get anything about any of this.
