Emergency Alert - forced tuned my tv station!!! Just now

I am in central MN and saw nothing.

That being said, we always have the siren test at 1 pm on the first Wednesday of every month. Since we've lived here, the siren has gone off (sounds like when the siren tapers off and kind of hangs in the air and doesn't restart... Lasts about 3-5 seconds) at 1 pm when it is NOT the first Wednesday of the month. It happened yesterday. Thus also has happened a few times when we lived in southern MN but it has happened several tines here.

What the hell is going on? Thus needs to be addressed by a news conference. Something is just not right folks. Think about all the protocol they must have to go through in the presence of other people in order to have that alert (not a test mind you) have happen. Why did some in certain areas see this and others did not?

Remember how Air Force one buzzed the people in NYC and scared the shit out of them? And there was no apology issued and no statement. This is how we will know Martial law is on our doorstep. It will look like that.

I'd like to add (non-confrontationaly) that I wouldn't consider this a NATIONAL Emergency as it only happened on one carriers network.

If it had actually been activated by the White House, every TV that was on in America and tuned to any broadcast station would have seen it, not just AT&T customers....

Cuz yeah, only AT&T customers are special enough to receive EAS notifications.

Not disagreeing, but remember ATT used to be the only phone company so maybe the EAS is programmed only to alert over ATT broadcast systems because they copy/pasted the old computer code and never bothered to update it.

YA TO THE GUY THAT SAYS THIS IS NORMAL THIS ONE WAS NOT THE BLUE ONE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN IT WAS RED WITH A LOUDER ALERT AND SAID EMERGENCY FROM THE WHITE HOUSE AND A PARAGRAPH OF PANIC

I'm watching fox in Salt Lake City and nothing came on here.

If it happened to you please sate your general location

what a dumbass ...

this is not "perectly normal" or even perfectly normal for that matter.

This is a fuck up ... not a test - IT DOES NOT SAY TEST ANYWHERE!

this doc needs its own thread!!!!! lots of info about the EAN in there! PIN!

And what's the significance of that?
Enlighten us.

Its right there can't you see it? This is built for one purpose only. To provide for a one way, authoritative message from the government to the sheeple ordering them or informing them of their just lost constitutional rights.

Quarantine, curfew, we are your overloads, no questions, shut the fuck up, we will tell you what you can do next, blah blah blah blah blah... And the progressives cannot wait to use it, in fact, they are SCREAMING at OBAMA to use it or LOSE it because the elections are just around the corner. This is why we see it, they were testing it, playing with it, learning to use it.

If this was for any kind of a REAL EMERGENCY, this entire EAM premise would not work at all, hell AT&T can barely keep U-verse working during the workweek, much less during a true emergency.

If you imbeciles think this government (particularly of late) would want to warn us, via some emergency broadcasting system, about something concerning our own safety or good (like a killshot CME, a hostile alien-space invasion or an enormous tidal wave that could wipe out a coastline) you're as delusional as they are evil.

They want to kill and control us. Not protect and save us.


And whatever or whoever was behind this today should awaken you to the VERY likelihood that they are spying on you through a digital device that so many can't seem to live without and pay dearly for each monthly. Don't you see the idiocy that's in place?



In summation: Anyone still watching television in the year 2014 and/or believes ANY of the world leaders are in place for our own safety and good (from the Pope to the poop in the oval office) deserves everything that's coming down the pike.

I am so glad I'm 55 years old because I literally feel sorry for those of you who will never know no other way to live except in fear and in total compliance.

The 70's rocked. I am literally so sorry the majority of you will miss what it's like to truly enjoy life on this planet!!

Watched a DYI channel and no problem, switched to FOX and nothing strange. Live in Florida.

its says that the file is damaged and cannot be repaired.

Do you live near Red Wing or Montecello? The sirens in those areas are controlled by Xcel energy, and are tied into the nuke plants.
