Is this true? Got it in an email...?

Question

Obama Launches total Takeover of Media:
Even the Washington Post describes it like something out of Orwell’s 1984. The FCC has approved a presidential alert system. Obama may soon appear on your television or call your cell phone to warn you about the next specious al-Qaeda underwear bombing event.

Commissioners voted last week to require television and radio stations, cable systems and satellite TV providers to participate in a test that would have them receive and transmit a live code that includes an alert message issued by the president. No date has been set for the test, according to the Post.

Once again, the government has imposed an unreasonable and absurd mandate on business and the American people.

“The Federal Communications Commission today took action to help pave the way for the first-ever Presidential alert to be aired across the United States on the Nation’s Emergency Alert System (EAS),” the FCC announced on February 3 in a press release. “The national test will help determine the reliability of the EAS system and its effectiveness in notifying the public of emergencies and potential danger nationwide and regionally.”

As Next Generation EAS systems become operational over the next few years, they will complement other public alert and warning systems now being developed, including FEMA’s Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) and the Commercial Mobile Alert System that will enable consumers to receive alerts through a variety of multi-media platforms on their smart-phones, blackberries and other mobile broadband devices.

If implemented, the president will be able to commandeer your smart phone any time he wants and for any reason the government deems necessary.

In November, communications company Alcatel-Lucent announced that it’s creating a Broadcast Message Center that will allow government agencies to send cell phone users specific information in the event of a local, state or national emergency, including those now ubiquitous government warnings about fantastic terror plots that invariably fizzle out or are run by FBI informants and agents provocateurs. It seems not a week or two passes that some gullible Muslim is duped by the agency into a fantastic terror plot (for instance, blowing up Christmas trees).

The Broadcast Message Center is designed to force mobile phone manufacturers to adopt the Federal Communication Commission’s Commercial Mobile Alert System. Under the new system, all phones would receive emergency alerts directly from government bureaucrats.

Former DHS boss Tom Ridge has admitted that the government exploits terror alerts for political gain. Ridge said he “was pushed to raise the security alert on the eve of President Bush’s re-election, something he saw as politically motivated and worth resigning over.” A specific al-Qaeda terror alert hyped up prior to the election was downgraded by the DHS after Bush beat fellow bonesman Kerry in the election.

Obama’s warnings about a supposed al-Qaeda attack on targets in Europe was exaggerated for political purposes, Pakistani diplomat Shamsul Hasan said in October. “I will not deny the fact that there may be internal political dynamics, including the forthcoming midterm American elections. If the Americans have definite information about terrorists and al-Qaida people, we should be provided [with] that and we could go after them ourselves,” Hasan said.

No terror event occurred. “It was nothing specific, nothing very new,” said Swedish Justice Minister Beatrice Ask after the official warning. “We agree that there is no indication of concrete targets, concrete dates and concrete terror groups,” added German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere.

In addition to your cell phone, the government wants to take control of your internet broadband in the event another phony terror attack threatens the homeland.

Lisa Fowlkes, deputy chief of the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau of the FCC, told FederalNewsRadio on Monday that the FCC is looking at how wireless broadband could also enhance the EAS as part of a recommendation that was in the FCC’s National Broadband Plan from last year. The idea is to hijack broadband and the internet for emergency alerting propaganda with the “Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS) being developed by FEMA and the wireless industry,” according to Fowlkes.

The system would break into your computer or wireless device and broadcast presidential propaganda announcements, FEMA reports, so-called “Imminent Threat Alerts,” and AMBER Alerts.

Government has devised other creative ways to disseminate propaganda. For instance, California introduced a bill last year to commission a study on emerging electronic license plate technology and examine ways that it could introduce new ad revenue streams. In addition to ads, the technology would flash Amber Alerts and other information.

Answer 1

Nothing is New under the Sun! If what ever benefits the Government for more control of the American people---it will be done.



We do not call these, End time Events, for nothing. Just One more step closer to a One World Order.{One Government all in the name of Peace} Sounds good huh?



Nothing surprises me any more. I just hope we all know our Bible, cause only this is going to give you a strong Faith to "OVER COME" at the End. God talks a lot about over coming at the end. Do you recall His Words on this subject?



Only God knows the day or hour but He continually tells us to be ready for anything.



Good idea...don't you think?---To Be READY?

Answer 2

First off did you enter a contest that might pay you almost $2,000,000??? Probably not. Second are they asking for your bank info or any personal info? This could be social security numbers, driver license number or even just your phone number. If they have your email address, why not your phone number??? Third, if any contest is official and real they will NOT contact you souly by email. Any legitimate sweepstakes or financial transaction may alert you via email, but they will most likely contact you in person or via official postal mail. I'm going to guess they said your email was randomly picked or the Bank of Nigeria has found a reward for you, possibly some distant stranger whom you've never heard of left you a ton of cash in their will... All of those are fakes! Were it me I'd just junk the message, I get a couple hundred of them a week. Nobody is just going to randomly give you $1.8 mil unless you know who they are and what it's for.

Answer 3

that system, the emergency broadcast was started in 1996. that's when they started to put boxes in line in all radio and television stations for the purpose of cutting out any programming that the govt didn't like and can also be used by a President to broadcast any bs he see's important. I hear it really po'd the station managers. thank you Bill Clinton.welcome to 1984.
