It would seem there would be an actual agency close to this though.

There was an incident in the early 70’s where an EBS alert mistakenly went out from the Strategic Air Command instead of a test.
There is audio on the internet of an announcer at WOWO in Fort Wayne breaking into programming and crapping his pants for seven minutes until the correction message comes through.

ATT is a pain in the you know what. Try calling them sometime and talking to a human with an IQ over 75 and who can actually speak/understand English.

A convenient way to tell your sheep to get out and vote, in areas that just happen to be key to Democrat victories on Nov. 4th.

The message, claiming to be an emergency alert issued by The White House, notified viewers that their programming was being re-directed to another channel. The alert is part of the EAN or Emergency Alert Notification. Engineers with FOX 5 say the alert can only be activated by the President in times of emergency. U-Verse engineers tell FOX 5 staff the message appeared on screens around Atlanta, Detroit, Michigan and Austin, Texas. PFL

Is there such a thing as Islamic hackers? I don’t think they are smart enough to run a computer.

“activation of the government’s Emergency Alert Notification System, which is used by broadcasters and the government to warn of emergency situations”
Possibly Moochelle was in town and people were being warned to stay off the streets because she was in a hurry to get to the buffet line?

Yes, there are islamic hackers. And they’ll be put to death once their mullahs realize they have a functioning brain.

I’ll get back to you when someone with a backbone in Washington shows up.
So far nobody will make that call.

Just Obola getting ready to declare martial law the day before the midterm elections. Nothing to worry about.

I remember watching tv and hearing the “ this is not a test, this is an actual emergency. Please tune to your emergency broadcast station”. Almost crapped my pants..

That happened one time some time last year on DirectTV. Hasn’t happened since, unless it was during the night.
