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.

Are they preparing for something big to happen???​

 

Al-Queda wants me.. its always the beautiful people that die first

 

your vid makes me wanna fap.. but anyways, thanks for scaring the shit outta me. i'm pretty confident that we're gonna go through a real tragedy during my generation (im 16)

 

Sadly another step towards a police state

 

I don't think thats going to sit well with quite a few people namely the Tea Party.

 

The government is shady business man.

 

Some people live in fear.

We have two basic emotions: love and fear. If we live our lives in fear, then we’re incapable of truly loving ourselves and others. Those in power know this and use fear to their advantage. Conversely, we can use love to our advantage as well!! Look at the peace rallies in the 1960’s during the “make love, not war” era. Eventually, the troops in Vietnam laid down their guns, essentially telling the powers that be "The war machine stops here.” Without soldiers, there’s no war. This type of love based consciousness wins over fear every time.

 

I'm trying to see what's wrong with this? Public Service Announcments have been around for forever, and are only to be used in tests and in scenarios where people need to be warned about something that could be of harm.

A national emergency is no different than a local emergency. I don't doubt they may be planning something, but I don't see this step as something that will cause too much grief.

 

The states are becoming a police state...more and more and more.

 

The government has had these abilities for quite some time now. It's nothing new.
