Say_It_Loud User ID: 1167033 United States 11/17/2010 07:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am getting freaked out about what has been going on lately. We lost control of our missles for 45 minutes. The missle off the Calif Coast. Now finding that the Chinese re-routed so much of the internet for 18 minutes. I am very worried.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1163810 United States 11/17/2010 07:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You know those television broadcast warnings they do sometimes with the weird beeping noise. This is only a test, blah blah blah. Quoting: gurunadeWell one just went off for bay area, CA then it had a quote from Walter Cronkite after it was done beeping. This quote but longer "It is increasingly clear that the only rational way out will be to negotiate, not as victors but as an honorable people who lived up to the pledge to defend democracy." After the beeping the warning went back to the tv show I'm watching (COPS) but it had the cronkite quote being spoken over the show. Weird. How do you know it was Walter Cronkite? You just happened to recognize the quote? Or you just think the voice sounds like him? What? |

You just happened to recognize the quote? Or you just think the voice sounds like him? What? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1163810It was his actual voice, recorded and played back and he signed off on it. I googled it and I guess it was a famous quote of his from the Vietnam war. These warnings happen maybe once a month but this was the first time I had heard it "hijacked". It wasn't normal. |

After the beeping the warning went back to the tv show I'm watching (COPS) but it had the cronkite quote being spoken over the show. Weird. In the last year or so I have noticed more of the emergency alert system coming on the radio. But most are different than the usual "This is a test......". They interrupt the program, have the tones, and then back to the show. No "this is a test....", and much shorter than the usual test. The one's that I have seen on the TV have the scroll of "this is a test..." and are not as frequent as on the radio. If I turn on the TV when the radio is doing it there is just regular programming on the TV. The "Sheeple" part of me says it is just routine testing, or someone pressed a button somewhere mistakenly. The "tinfoil" part of me says it is conditioning. Somewhere in the middle maybe? |

Weird. h'mmmm: Thread: Walter Cronkite’s death is a time marker for cataclysmic events soon to follow! I have been keeping an eye on that 3 gorges dam. "What I saw next was unimaginable flooding. I was in foreign land that I quickly deduced was China. Old mother said we need to go up there to see what is about to happen. She pointed toward the top of a mountain and we began the climb. In the matter of seconds we were at the top of the mountain and looking down at an incredibly large dam. The dam was bulging in the middle and cracks were visible. The people around the dam were franticly screaming commands and panic had set in. The dam was going to fail and they knew it. As I watched the dam break and crumble I was over come with grief. It was as if some one had stabbed me with an emotional knife. Hundreds of thousands perished. Old mother told me to close my eyes again. When I opened my eyes again I was back inside the log cabin Walter Cronkite was in. He was gone and the newspaper I looked at had the headline ‘Walter Cronkite – The Most Trusted Man in America Passes Away’. I looked at old mother and asked what the significance of what I witnessed is? She said ‘When Walter Cronkite passes within three hundred thirty three days a great catastrophe will befall the Chinese people’. ‘When this catastrophe happens it will mark the beginning of Mother Earth’s vengeance upon the evils of mankind’. |
