Remember the old poster of instructions on what to do in case of nuclear attack. After thirty or so lines such as "turn off all gas appliances and shut off supply" the final few read:

Remove trousers, shorts, and underwear
Bend down
Place head down and hold firmly between knees
Kiss your a$$ goodbye

Genuine reality check, that.

I'm as paranoid of this .gov as the next guy but when you get a call or text to your cell phone, do you accuse them of taking your phone over?

There shouldn’t be any fear or panic if we’re being told starting 2 months in advance. I assume they’ll be multiple reminders on local radio & tv stations prior to it.

BTW, this is using the same National Preemptive Emergency Cellular Network used by AT&T / DoJ to access voting machines across the country.

Is this the same EAS that several FReepers insisted would be used prior to 2021/01/21 to signal that President Trump would remain in office pending an investigation of the 2020 election?

Or a different EAS?

This is different. This one is meant to remind people how useless the GOP is and that every effort should be made to avoid their convoluted message, whatever that happens to be.

Maybe you missed my point. They are able to, at the same time, on multiple phones and multiple carriers, able to put up a graphic screen with basically any kind of "alert" that they want. It means that they have unfettered access to all carriers and phone for whatever they want to do. It's different than a call or a text. You can ignore either of those. to most poeple mobile phones are communications devices. To the government they're tracking and manipulation devices.

What if one’s cellphone is off — powered down. Will the alert still sound?

They are planning something to cause great fear and panic.

Makes me wonder, too, if it’s going to be just a “test”.
If Trump was in office and this went down as a test, the liberals would be suspicious as well. But us being suspicious is grounded in reality.
