| Illinois Frightned by Inadvertent EAS Trigger | |
|
June 26 2007 Several hundred stations in Illinois were affected by an EAS mistake the morning of June 26th. The Illinois Emergency Management Agency was testing new EAS equipment; what was meant to be a closed-circuit test of the 10-minute presidential alert message from FEMA. Somehow, the message actually was broadcast to some 500 stations. Starting at 7:30 that morning and on through to about 8 a.m., depending on when the stations got the message, the EAS programming was broadcast for 10 minutes. All listeners in the Chicago area, for example, heard the alert tones and then WGN’s regular programming (with no explanation). In other parts of the state, listeners heard dead air after the alert tones sounded.A monthly test usually lasts only two minutes, this was a 10-minute presidential alert. FEMA has not commented or answered any questions about the alert messages. |

| B-52 mistakenly carried nuclear warheads from N.D. to Louisiana |
|
Sept 05, 2007 The B-52 was flying from Minot Air Base in North Dakota. The crew was unaware that the plane was carrying nuclear weapons, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the extraordinary sensitivity and security surrounding the case. "You need about fourteen signatures to get an armed nuke onto a B-52..."The mistake was discovered after the plane's six-hour flight to Louisiana.

Something's Coming...There are ominous portents all over the landscape just now, indicating that something big is in the offing:1. The impending and unprecedented Air Force Stand-Down ordered for this Friday, together with numerous civil defense "drills" scheduled during the coming week throughout America, not to mention war drills scheduled throughout the world.2. The cancelled El Al (Israeli) flight schedule for Friday through Sunday (yes, the front end of the Jewish high, holy days, but that is not the point or the cause, rest assured). 3. The mysteriously meandering nuclear missiles that illegally flew cross-country suspended under wing on a bomber, not just as freight, which our government now claims was the result of an error (yeah, right, an error involving 5 nuclear missiles ... or was that 6 and now one is missing, as some claim?). 4.The Fed meeting scheduled for next Tuesday where discount rate cuts almost inevitably will be announced (if not sooner because of the ever-expanding mushroom cloud rising up over the collapse of America's housing and mortgage industries). 5. That just-released, already-proven-phony Bin Laden videotape (yes, Virginia, he died several years ago, just as then was reported upon extensively in the Arabic-language press but suppressed in the West, as so much is suppressed here). 6. That "accidental" emergency alert triggered in Illinois this morning. 7. Bush straining with everything he's got to get the American public on board with his "kill Iranians for Israel" plans. 8. Israel claims, suddenly, to have discovered nuclear installations in Syria. 9. Oil is about to breach $80 per barrel. 10. Dick Cheney's "gut feeling" that America's next terrorist attack "will be nuclear." 11. Michael Chertoff's "gut feeling" that America "will soon be hit hard." |
