This is only a test

"Now they have implanted your phone with their secret spy stuff."

Ships from the factory that way for years now.

Phone in airplane mode, then turned off. no problem. TV was off and I wasn’t home at the time.

Our situation in a face-off with China is vastly improved over 2 years ago and is getting much better as our and the West’s weapons factories kick into high gear and build new plants, we develop new strategies, new war needs awareness, and new Pacific alliances and military unity and military build-ups, like Japan launching its biggest build-up since WWII, and of course, Russia being largely removed as a threat on our flanks.

I just got the test. I remember them from the 1950s when the Civil Defense would do a TV test letting everyone know it was “Only a test.”
In the early 1960s there was a Civil Defense test on all TV stations from “A secret location outside Washington DC”.

But that was when we were expecting Russian rockets to be heading our way at any time. I still remember the broadcast of Dec 24, 1963 just after the Cuban Missile Crisis almost led us to war.
On that date they broke into the TV broadcasts to let everyone know that an unidentified object had crossed the DEW line heading for the US.
The fears of October that year came back. Blood pressure skyrocketed! Was it Russian missiles? Would we see a tomorrow? WAS THIS THE END?
Then they showed a real chintzy photo of Santa in his sleigh with cotton ball clouds floating by.

We were relieved but upset due to the scare that year.

"And you are forced to click the OK button to close the screen."

I just immediately powered down for a few minutes so I didn't have to hear it anymore.

[Starboard]

“Yep, WW3 here we come.”

***********

Russia has red lines. We have red lines.

That’s just the way it is. Testing those lines is dangerous and unpredictable business.

“Cell” was a fun movie. Stay outta the airport.

[sneakers]

I turned my phone on and didn’t get anything. On the other hand, my co-worker turned on hers and got the alert.

[444Flyer]

Exactly! I refuse to click the “OK” button. I got the loud sound and everything 4 times so far with the notice to click the “O.K”.

NO

[Blue Highway]

really helpful alert. At least they could say, "have a nice day, sorry for the interruption".

[SaveFerris]

I was away from the phones

But I pushed it oops

They can still plant stuff if they truly want to

[OHPatriot]

So in other words, I didn’t miss a thing.

FJB and his entire Administration!!!!!

Sorry couldn’t resist.

[central_va]

Yeah, that is the message I received also.

[SaveFerris]

The radio just let us know

That this is not a test

There’s Amber alerts all the time here in Texas. I justp look to see if its in my area and go on.

[Rusty0604]

some even put their phones in the microwave.

[444Flyer]

4 alerts so far. I wonder if that was embedded somewhere for people who wanted to opt out. They want to make sure you're harassed. BEEEEEEEP!

[Rusty0604]

What did you think would happen if you got the alert?

[metmom]

Oh, gee. I left my phone out in the car.

Never heard a thing.

[dfwgator]

It’s the Phone Cops!
