Did You Know Feds Will Temporarily Cut Off All TV and Radio Broadcasts on Nov. 9?

Only odd thing is that its national.
They can see me though my TV? I better get the plasma out of the bedroom...

Listen...

When assuming this big test is genuine, the increment of normal tests would make perfect sense. Smaller entities and local authorities would want to be prepared for 'the big day' by shaking things up in their own department with extra tests.

But of course that is only assuming.

I'm just curious...while I'm not putting on a tinfoil hat and sounding the paranoia alarm, I can't help but wonder why they are testing this in the middle of the day. I understand the need for a system to take over the airwaves and address the nation in a time of crisis, and the need to test that system - but why in the middle of the day? We have fairly regular tests of the Emergency Broadcast System here in Washington state, but it's usually done in the middle of the night. I assume this is so they don't interrupt peoples viewing habits or whatever. So while I'm not really suspicious of this mid-day test, I'm curious why they don't test it in the middle of the night.

Ours in Illinois ( where I am at the moment) are during the day. They have also stepped up in frequency, but that makes sense if they are wanting a national broadcast capability, they need to check what we have in place now.

why would they plan is that way?

That's a very interesting point you've got there, actually. I didn't know that. But does YU55 have ANY chance whatsoever of hitting us or causing danger?

Did you know, that tommarow the sun will rise, and humans will make love,war, babys will be born, people will die? did you know that, when the buisness of saving live's is assumed to have malevolent undertones, you are a true paranoid?

Only if there will be a CME before and an EMP on that day to get minimum damage they will cut of everything,maybe power too,no one will panic,no one will now!But for this there should be an X+..

FEMA is the agency in the USA that deals with natural disasters(floods, hurricanes, fires...). For them to have a national test of the emergency system they must foresee a nation wide natural disaster. As I sit and contemplate what natural disaster would happen nation wide the list is quite small.

1. Yellowstone exploding
2. California dropping into the ocean
3. An out of this world event

Lastly comes my most plausible scenario. MARTIAL LAW.

I know that the government fully know we are headed into a martial law scenario. If you don't believe this to be true google it. There are hundreds of articles pertaining to martial law, police state, and the like. Every group or classification has been demonized by the government. Even if you're not affiliated with any organization, group, society, church, or a collective of 3 or more people the government has it out for you too.

I have family that works for the DoD, and they say something "big and scary" will happen in this country in the near future.

I knew about the dot com bubble, the housing bubble, the financial collapse, and even the latest event the market dip in the first week of August. My latest prediction seems vague, but when all economic aspects are analyzed I can see a slow procession of our standard of living being eroded and flipped.

Here it is: Over the next 12-14 months the way we live will be flipped on its head. The way we currently do things in our daily lives will be altered from finding something to do, to finding something to eat; from going home at the end of the night, to going and finding a home at night.

When Capital Controls and Martial Law are ushered in being a part of a group will lead to your demise.

What do we do if we don't own a TV or radio?

Die? I mean seriously, who doesn't have a TV or radio in 2011? Most of us have this in our pockets, on our phones.

Brings up a good point though...wonder if they will have an Emergency Broadcast message go out to cell phones?

I agree with others here that the only rational reason for a nationwide EAS test would be for reasons of martial law, sure there is the billion to 1 chance that an asteroid could hit and affect the entire nation or the world, but that isn't the likely reason.

Also I would recommend that people go out and buy amateur transceivers (HAM radios) shortwave receivers and learn how to use them. The great thing about amateur radios is that they can be run on a simple car battery and the modern units can operate for many hours on a single battery charge. The only practical way to stop amateur radio communications is through jamming but you can literally use millions of frequencies so the jammers would never never be able to eliminate all communications. Older amateur units before the late 70s use tube technology and would be immune from EMPs and there are still a good number of these older units available for sale because HAMs are very avid about their radios and usually keep them in top shape for decades.

Bottom line is that marital law is not going to stop the American People from fighting back against the tyranny.

The right to bear arms is not so you can go huntin'...it is so you can protect yourselves from tyrannical government and remove it .

they're just making sure it works before the shtf.

It's an unprecedented test, and they want to do it while all the FCC and/or FEMA people are in the office. If it goes off well and they make it a monthly or weekly thing--which I don't think is actually in the plan--they might push it to the middle of the night.

(Speculation!)

Oh my!! Everyone knows that the right thing to do is to just let us all die in ignorant bliss when devastating national emergencies are about to happen! How DARE they?!?!?!

Shill much? LOL "Megahone" is good for that too.

I can promise you that the federal guvmint is never going to tell you anything about events when it comes to catastrophic proportions, but they would gladly invoke marshal law because of it, which would be communicated by the EAS .

Comical that people still think the feds actually care about any of us ordinary citizens. Oh I forgot the shills are paid to belittle anyone that thinks otherwise.

But you DON'T disagree with my comments do you? Of course not, because you know them to be accurate.

Folks need to look up the "megaphone" project.

I guess they want people to look outside for some reason?

CIA(Anonymous) are scheduled to destroy Facebook on 5th November, there's a drill to take down TV/Radio a few days later on 119 (a bit like 911). The attack on Facebook could be used as an excuse to use the Internet Kill Switch, leaving us with our communications down for the date that the Illuminati dream of 11 - 11 - 11

Do not be scared, the only thing to fear is fear itself. Armed with you ATS knowledge you can deal with what will happen better than most others who will follow the Pied Piper

Should be fun.

During the test, viewers will hear a message indicating that “This is a test.” Although the National EAS Test may resemble the periodic, monthly EAS tests that most Americans are already familiar with, there will be some differences in what viewers will see and hear, which is one reason for conducting a national EAS test. The audio message will be the same for all EAS Participants; however, due to limitations in the EAS, the video test message scroll may not be the same or indicate that “This is a test.” This is due to the use of a “live” national code – the same code that would be used in an actual emergency. In addition, the background image that appears on video screens during an alert may indicate that “This is a test,” but in some instances there might not be an image at all. FEMA and the FCC plan to conduct outreach to organizations representing people with hearing disabilities to prepare that community for the national EAS test. Outreach will include specific information tailored to the needs of those with hearing disabilities that will be readily available at online sites.

In addition, FEMA and the FCC will work with EAS Participants to explore whether there are solutions to address this limitation. The text at the bottom of the television screen may indicate that an “Emergency Alert Notification has been issued.” This notification is used to disseminate a national alert and in this case, the test.

Should only last about 3 minutes.

I really don't see why this deserved a thread either but hey, without it I probably wouldn't even have heard about it. And well, if it happened without my knowledge, I doubt I'd even care...along with the rest of the country. Why would we not care?

Because it's not a big deal.

On that note, I'll be annoyed if I get a text that reads:

"THIS IS JUST A TEST...Lulz"
