Not only is Big Brother President Obama watching you, he’s going to start messaging you if you own an iPhone with AT&T service.
AT&T subscribers with an iPhone 4S or 5 using iOS 6.1 or higher are going to start getting presidential alerts on matters of “national importance” whether you want them or not.
As part of AT&T’s new Wireless Emergency Alerts, once a user updates their operating system, AMBER and Emergency alerts are automatically sent to the phone. However . . .

Huh.. I have a slightly older phone, one of the original Galaxy S phones, been on ATT since. My phone is rooted and has a custom rom, and I’ve never received any alerts of any kind.
And a nice big "Bite Me" to all the Bush apologists that have been saying for years Bush was a pretty decent President. No, he wasn't. The list is too long to repeat, everyone here has seen it anyway. He sold us out. He couldn't have set the stage for Obama's fascism better if it was all planned out in advance, for just that reason.
Despite the fact that the police surveillance state was already coming, Bush rammed it into overdrive. Electronic exhortations to work harder for the state will become a routine part of life here in the USSA. Just think what Stalin could have done with this technology. Oh wait, he'd do just what Zero is doing now.
Put a fork in the Republic, it’s done.
These are technological dictates that lil Kim in North Korea only dreams of.
The question I ask is this, if you believe it is so, why is gun/ammo sales having been so high the last few years?
I could be much, much more right than you think.
WWII vets families who sacrificed must be wondering what they died fought for.
(MAJOR BARF ALERT!) I just heard Rush Limbaugh say the Presidential alerts will eventually include audio and video.
I do not own any of these ‘hand-held’ whatevers...doesn’t sound like I am missing much..,.
H27 says “President Obama made comments about this case and took a side in this case before it was decided but he never mentions our heroes overseas!!!!!!!!!!!” “And you aren’t taking sides?” “Uh..I don’t have a national platform.”
Woops! Wrong thread! I was watching the Zimmerman jury selection and posted to the wrong thread!
Enter the Telescreen. Will it also include tinny-sounding “patriotic” music? News from the African front against Eurasia?
If this was something like the “Emergency Alert Service” on televisions, it probably wouldn’t be a big deal. With Obama involved, though, you know it’s going to be abused for political purposes, because that’s what he does with everything.
Agree with you. I have Verizon, but don’t have an iphone, so haven’t received any of those types of messages.
