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

reply to post by Vaykun


In the 70's with such primative equipment, they still could listen in on everyone's phone conversations and seek out key words and trace them...in the 70's! They had a lot of things we would of called science fiction back then. Subliminal conditioning began in the 60's, was made against the law to use it and during Reagan's watch the law was quietly scrubbed from the books. So all these years we have been brainwashed and shutting down the TV nation wide is a bad thing? Hopefully someone will screwup and they won't be able to turn it back on.

Coming from software development... the reason you would do it during this time frame is because emergencies rarely happen at convenient times. You really need to test things that affect the entire system when it is under genuine load and inconvenience, because that's when it's going to happen and matter most. Otherwise you just wind up with an expensive fancy system that fails the first time it is tried in a "game on" situation.

That said: I don't automatically trust anyone who's job is more secure, important, and valuable the less effectively they do it.

Namaste!

I am unsure why anyone is concerned about this. We used to have these all the time when I was growing up. The Emergency Broadcast System was put into place in 1963 and was to be used primarily in case of nuclear attack. It was during the Cold War obviously and the exercise is continued today.

All TV and radio stations are required to conduct a test like this every week between the hours of 0830 and sunset. However they are not required to submit their results. So, in this case, the Federal Gov't is having all of them do it at the same time to test its efficiencies and determine if any are not working correctly.

""This is a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. The broadcasters of your area in voluntary cooperation with the Federal, State and local authorities have developed this system to keep you informed in the event of an emergency. If this had been an actual emergency, (optional -- stations may mention the types of emergencies likely to occur in their area) the Attention Signal you just heard would have been followed by official information, news or instructions. This station (optional -- insert station call sign) serves the (operational area name) area. This concludes this test of the Emergency Broadcast System."

EBS was put into place in 1963... August 5th. Kennedy is assassinated a few months later. On August 5th of this year, President Obama gave a speech about finding returning veterans jobs. The new emergency system is to begin in Nov. of this year. Obama followed a two term Republican. Kennedy followed a two term Republican.

Both Presidents were responsible for taking over a previous Administration. Eisenhower had been sending in advisers to Vietnam. The wars escalated with Kennedy and Johnson. Obama inherited two wars from Bush, and replaced ground troops with predator drones running missions over sovereign nations' skies.

The lines are blurring but the cycles seem to become more evident. Never before has the Consortium of Silence been so active.

This test on Nov. 9th should be interesting. If "This test of the National URSCWRD Network is brought to you by Taco Nation and Cargo Fastergood Investments..." then you might wanna enjoy grabbing those ankles.

Yea I thought about that, but the only reason they would be doing at an inconvenient time is to measure peoples reactions. There is no plausible explanation of why they couldn't do it at say 4:00 AM if they just want to see if it works. They operate the system anyways, should they diagnostically be able to see that it works anyways without interrupting communication? There is no reason for the entire system anyways, we already have one.

There is no plausible explanation as to why a government that sends people into space and pioneered many aspects of modern communications in itself has to disable its entire national communications network "just to see if it works". If something happened to disable these communication networks, how would it even work in the first place?

Why do we have to pay money to fix something that is not broken, just because someone wants it to be federally controlled?

It seems like something big is coming soon....
and they are getting prepared...

A nation wide emergency broadcast system sounds like a good idea to me, i'm afraid i don't see the evil in this.

Wow - you're really just reading too much into this. I hope you know that.

It's an EBS test. They do them from time to time. Nothing will happen, other than that you miss a few seconds of TV during a time when you're probably at work.

Anyone who's watching TV at 2pm on a weekday probably needs to find something better to do with their time anyway.

Of course, here in Canada, our signal of American stations probably won't be interrupted at all !

I don't own a TV or radio so none of this applies to me.

reply to post by Vaykun


You know....if they include cell phones computers and wifi it might just work.

Cut off for
365 days

Estimated time of recovery Mind Body and Soul- probably 365 days

Excellent idea

Is this to be world-wide? Or just the US? If it said in the link or has already been answered, sorry for my awful reading skills.

Expect a few ahem 'alternative' news sites and others to have trouble re-establishing contact to the tv and radio channels when they finish 'running their tests'.

really? as far as I know we have always had these tests. are you saying it is more "spooky" when it is nationally coordinated. i have to question your motives when you don't like the thought of our country being nationally coordinated. they are not shutting it down, they are doing the test.

maybe they are making sure they can broadcast the fake alien invasion everywhere before actually attempting it.

This is a silly topic.

The OP caught on and was some how able to make this into breaking news, when ats has been discussing this for months. Ontop of that, the only thing interesting, the only thing is

That the comet yu55 is coming next to earth in the same week as the broadcast

I just realized that, up until now, I had erroneously thought that the Emergency Broadcast with the annoying noise WAS nationwide.

Silly ego.

(I also believed that R O L A I D S spelled 'relief' until I was in the 6th grade.)

Seems like a National Test of the EBS is long overdue....

Just to throw another log of what-if out there, has anyone considered that the best time for another attack on the US would be when the test is being run? Not unlike the perfect cover for allowing things to escalte excuse of "is this a test?" that happened while they were performing manuevers on 911.

I hate to say it, but it was the first thing that popped into my mind when I heard this. Here's my question: Where will all the politicians - and the Bilderburgs/Trilats and the POTUS - be during that time?

I didn't have time to read the entire thread. Will the net be down too? If so, that's scarier than the TV and radios going out. Those just pump crap.

I know... I know... Paranoid... blah blah.... why would they... yadda yadda... whatever....

But think about it.

Oh hey guys, here's a crazy idea:

It could just be what they say: A FU*KING TEST!!

Thanks, baiz

That nicely highlights my quote:

If it was a test, why isn't it done when it would inconvenience as few people as possible?

I don't care and I have no control over the matter anyways, but a little examination and critical thought goes a long way when it comes to understanding the intentions of anything.

You think the fact that they declared it a test doesn't already say maybe its just that? This conversation is not for you.

What is "baiz"? Bye? That's genius.

The test isn't really for you, it's to see if it even works in the first place (signaling every single television and radio station/network at the same time).

Some folks here are looking into it way too deep. Just, relax, sweetie.

And yes, BAIZ.

They could take tv and radio down for 30 minutes and I wouldn't notice. I'm busy at work at that time of day.

Commercials last longer than 2 or 3 minutes on occasion. I don't think it will be any big deal.

That's the big story here I believe.
Is it a conspiracy?
If they even suspect that YU55 MIGHT hit us, and they are covering it up, then yep, it would be.
The timing for the alert system test and the asteroid passing the earth and moon are just to close.
I think it was planned this way in case something does happen, and really, that's smart planning.
And not letting us know they see a possibility of an impact?
It keeps us all from going hysterical over something that could or could not happen.

The only evidence that anything is up with YU55 is the tests conducted on the 9th of November.
A test designed to alert us in the event of a nuclear attack, NEO Impact, invasion, or any other disaster on a national scale.

I don't think it is a test because there IS a NEO at the same time as the test....
which is what the system is for!
There are threads out there that mention NASA warning it's employees to prepare for something.
I think there is a possibility that what they were being warned about was YU55.
Look, I have no idea really, but doesn't it all sound suspicious??????

I would not be surprised if after the 9th of Nov. if nothing does happen with YU55, that NASA comes out or someone else does high up in the Gov. and says, we really thought it was going to hit us.

I think they are avoiding a panic, because they themselves are unsure, and even if they knew,
would they tell us? Is it a smart thing to do?

Well lets see if they can shut down my ham radio.

I don't know what is so notable about this besides the fact it is a first.
Are you implying that something nefarious is afoot with this "test?"

I would not lose any sleep over it. As may have been noted, it is not as if this is a new capability.
Sometimes systems need to be tested once in a while to make sure they function as intended, and it is as simple as that imho.
I hope up that I'm right
DUH DUH DUH!
