So the EAS came and went

No channel take over, no cellphone/internet takeover. just a small banner scrolling across the screen saying it was a test. Programming wasn't interrupted.

Good job with the fear mongering guys. Next time, pay attention to the facts instead of going apeshit with your idea of the facts.

YU55 passes without incident.

EAS warning passes without incident.

Looks like today is shaping up to be just another Wednesday. Guess I shouldn't have told all my clients to go fuck themselves, huh?

hahahaha, they dont have to know its just another Wednesday!

Only the ones who are still alive and haven't jumped.

you watched it???? you're fucked, dude.

Duh, it was a secret brain control device.

.....so that's why i started working on pro government propaganda posters in Photoshop

those crafty bastards!

Sneaky Joos, all of them.

Conspiracy theorists: 0

Rational people: 2394235907

And this is why 'conspiracy theorists' are held in such a bad light. You choose to generalize based on incidents like this, which occur from obviously illogical people. So while it's clear that there are many plots in place to control our species' future (or lack thereof- those in charge are rather destructive), people will continue to denounce definite plots of tyranny because of the stigma towards 'conspiracy theorists'.

If you believe shit like this, then you're one of those people that believe Harold Camping and are a complete idiot. Don't generalize the whole subreddit because there are stupid people/shills on the Internet.

So while it's clear that there are many plots in place to control our species' future

This depends on what you mean by "control our species' future". If you mean plans for the future, then yes, of course we as a species have plans for the future. If you mean a nefarious shadow organization controlling every nation, then no, that is not clear to rational people.

I found this video to be pretty interesting, and slightly relevant to your last statement. "Nefarious shadow organization" seems to be a very cliché way to describe the various conglomerates that sculpt political policy to their will.

Id rather be overly paranoid then caught off guard. Hence I opt out at airports and Change my daily commute every 90 days.

That was best EAS ever.

Ah yes..the ubiquitous 'ever'.

You must say that about ever EAS you stumble upon...

And we get Friday off, those bastards!

You get Friday off!? I sure don't.. now THATS a conspiracy!

Programming wasn't interrupted

That depends on the station and state laws. Some states require the entire screen be taken and programming be stopped. Some states don't. In the states that don't, some stations still stop programming and some don't.

shit forgot to watch TV and get disturbed................

The test came and went at 1 pm cst and then went again at 1:15 for about 10 seconds. I'm not sure what the second one was about.

I don't know... I feel like the 'small banner scrolling across the screen saying it was a test' secretly reprogrammed my brain...

there was a warning today?

Interesting because in my area (new jersey) there was a tv take over but every thing else was fine, all channels showed the same thing and my cable box even said EAS, it was just a big gray screen with red borders saying it was a test.

if you'd read the EAS spec, that's all it called for.

That being said... The main issue with this EAS test was the use of the SAGE digital endec box (http://www.sagealertingsystems.com/products.htm).

Yes, it looks like it should be called "Fisher Price's My First Endec."

At any rate, A bulletin was released a few weeks ago talking about how if the audio level going into them is too high, issues manifest in the output of repeats of the input - if you listen to recordings of the test this afternoon, if there was any audio chances are it was unintelligible and had the SAME headers repeated.

Apparently wherever they sent audio into the EAS (via an Endec probably) it wasn't configured correctly. These multiple messages reaked havoc on the system, and that's my guess as to why this was such a clusterfuck.

My station didn't have issues with our Sage ENDEC, as far as I'm aware.

are you sure about that? :)~ ad infinitum

GOVERNMENT PUPPET! :)

Er, but ten days from now, suddenly some of you will seek to assassinate liberal politicians with butter knives after willing your worldly goods to Newt Gingrich. Coincidence? I think NOT!

NEWT IS SURPREME LEADER

ALL HAIL HYPNONEWT

I COULD HAPPEN MAN

You keep getting pushed up against a chain link fence by all those people man and eventually, eventually you're gonna squeeze through it!

Just food for thought. The white house is close with wall street right. Look at the market today. Low volume all day until 2pm, then came huge trades. The "test" could very well have been a go signal to the insiders and nobody outside the "conspiracy" would be suspicious of anything.

The difference would be that if it wasn't initiated, or the test "failed" then that would be a no go signal. Like I said Just food for thought.

Well there is a big thing that happened and that was the Italian bond auction went real bad and the yields went up over 7%. Italy is doing a Greece now.

One thing that I have noticed however is that the Dow Jones ended at 9615 points on 2001-09-11 and on 2009-09-11.

It sets a dangerous precedent, whether anything happened or not.

Isn't that what R/conspiracy is for? Linking to and discussing the research and hypotheses of others? I never spread fear, merely contributed information (however credible or incredible) to the community. and even the link I provided had NO fearmongering whatsoever. In fact, Hoagland specifically says there is absolutely NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. NOT AN IMMINENT THREAT. I repeat, NOT A THREAT. POSSIBLE SCENARIO. You're just a fucking coward with a closed mind and poor debate skills. You even quoted me above as saying that we will NOT be in ANY danger. I'm the dumbass?

Oh and also - Hoagland never believed in any doom scenario...Either from Elenin or YU55. Get your facts straight.

lol why does this queen get so mad if you even READ a post he doesn't like? Don't let him catch you READING or you will be a moron, doomtard, or whatever. Here's an insult you haven't used today, Asshat. So I will, you sir have your head wedged so far up your own ass you are wearing it as a hat.

If you look at his post history it's pretty much all he does...He goes around Reddit calling people doomtards and fear mongers for reading about a theory. He's a fuckhead.

and probably an ugly ginger kid with no soul...

You're lucky us gingers are the good guys...

Did you listen to what he said about Elenin? He said nothing of the sort.

Why would I be retarded for listening to someone?

its ok he gets off on this, moodiness is just a side effect of the enhancers he orders off the interwebs.

Since you changed the subject, what is this "dangerous precedent"?

That the federal government is testing their technical capability to completely shut off and take over our various forms of communication. Phone and internet are next and if you don't see that from a mile away I have very little hope that you're ready to confront so many other conspiracies out there.
