The Federal Emergency Management Agency released a brief review of this week’s nationwide emergency alert test. That hasn’t stopped conspiracy theories about the alerts from spreading online, however.
Wednesday’s combined test from the FEMA and the Federal Communication Commission included the Wireless Emergency Alerts, or WEA, and the Emergency Alert System, or EAS. Messages were sent to cell phones, televisions and radios at about 2:20 p.m. ET (1:20 p.m. CT) to determine how effective the warning system was in distributing a message nationwide and the “operational readiness of the infrastructure for distribution of a national message to the public.”
“All the cell carriers that participate in WEA received the alert today. The EAS test alert was successfully processed and made available to broadcasters,” FEMA said in a statement. Additional analysis on the tests, including the geographic reach of the WEA test, will be done over the next four months, the agency added.
Conspiracy theories
Just before the alert, online conspiracy theorists began spreading misinformation about the tests. The most common rumor had to do with 5G cell networks activating “nanoparticles” in the body, triggering the Marburg virus – an extremely dangerous hemorrhagic fever virus - in people who had been vaccinated against COVID-19 and turning them into zombies.
FEMA said there are no known harmful health effects from the signal, which was essentially the same as the millions of text messages sent every day. The alert itself is the same that has been used on TV since the 1960s, the agency said.
And, the best proof of all - we didn’t see zombies roaming the street after Wednesday’s test.
“I received it on my phone and saw it on the TV. And I can confirm to you that I am not a zombie,” said Jeremy Edwards, press secretary and deputy director of public affairs at FEMA.
FEMA is required by law to test the systems every three years.
Indeed, people on the left were the paranoids last time in 2018:

This reminds of all the times the late Harold Camping predicted the day and time when Jesus would return…and then updated his forecast every time he was wrong.
Phone on airplane mode, then turned off for an hour, TV off. Never got the alert.
Usual practice of floating an obvious fake conspiracy theory to discredit those that hit too close to home.
Unless we categorically know everyone can respond, “I am not a Zombie,” how can we really know?
During the next test, just go into a dark room and use an infrared security camera aimed at your abdomen to see the telltale RFID antenna shape within.
Got a 2 second mild siren…….pfft
That’s all folks
Hahaha, no. I just turn the phone off.
Yep, just ridicule anyone who questions government. After all, the Deep State government has never lied or deceived anyone and is only doing good, just ask CNN or any in the media.
Back To The Top!
No zombies? Baloney. If folks are still voting Democrat...there are plenty of zombies out there.
I got it, as did everyone at the business meeting I attended.
No zombification. With me or anyone at that meeting who’s vaxxed up.
While I’m at it, notwithstanding that the Covid shots have many Bad Things going for them, half of my employer’s workforce hasn’t Died Suddenly.
…..waiting for someone to tell me I’m supposed to append those statements with “yet”in 3…2…
Didn’t hear a thing. And when I saw the notice, I did NOT hit ‘okay’ and cleared my phone cache. Little things ya know.
Because if everyone did respond “I am not” then you would know that they arent a actually a zombie as despite what some movies and things are suggesting zombies are not smart or fast. They are just dead rotting corpses animated by dark energy and only capable of slowly completing simple tasks directly under supervision of the animator.
If they responded or showed any other form of intelligence then they would have to be at least a ghoul. Depending on the exact cause of death, stains on their soul due to life choices, etc they even could be wights. Now I suppose that a vampire or other higher intelligence undead could use the event to come out as undead and pose as some sort of brainy zombie to fool the gullible...but that would just be silly.
I really worry whenever government weanies tell me things like:
1. “And I can confirm to you that I am not a zombie”
2. “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Just stop it.”
There they go, telling us what to think.

that was my thought
>Just before the alert, online conspiracy theorists began spreading misinformation about the tests.
Just before the alert, fake news made up stories with the keywords ‘conspiracy,’ ‘misinformation’ which had as much credibility as the other things they called ‘misinformation’ over the last few years.
If one reads the wide world of alt media, one can see when something is actually bubbling up from the meme world; and conversely, when the first one sees is a ‘report’ from MSM, it’s 100% BS.
They just wanted location info on every cell phone and ‘smart’ TV in the country, nothing to worry about.
This is why they said it will take months to analyze the data.
The IRA would bomb one end of the street and wait for the people to run to the other side, then bomb that location. I feel the Leviathan does the same thing.
The general public is So far in the
Hypnosis I’m afraid they are lost forever in a MSM .gov nightmare.
Sheeple...
