It bothered me. Big Brother in plain view. They can access every cell phone in the United States. Did they ask my permission? Fuck no. If they can send you an alert, they can track you. Will this alert system be used for good or evil? Will the sheep just follow instructions? Just another step into Hell.
The creepiest aspect of these "government alerts" is that no one consciously opted into them. Somehow the government just acquired the power to simultaneously commandeer every smartphone in the country, and no one particularly noticed.

You are a potential terrorist post 9-11
Hope that helps.

I leave my phone at home whenever I “borrow” a rowboat and hide out from the coppers.
I like how you supposedly only borrow unlocked ones, that will help at your sentencing.

We’re seeing it being honed on the chinese rabble. They are being rated on “citizenship” according to a list of government measures; paying taxes on time, taking their prescribed inoculations, shit like that. And there are penalties meted out by their masters for noncompliance.
Now do you see why admitting to being a good citizen is the mark of a sucker?
I did not get an alert on my flip-phone. Maybe I am such a deplorable Luddite that the Powers-that Be don’t find me worth the trouble to keep such close track of. Ha ha. If they think I am deplorable now, just wait…. I am pretty close to my sell-by date, with a few good months of quiet mayhem to sow, and I am not alone.
They missed my flip phone, too. And the burner decoy I move around to confuse them.

I got the alert on my flip phone. But I had to replace it a year or so ago, so it’s relatively new.
I’m on the fence about this one.
On one hand, yes, the big brother aspect and tracking ability sucks. Sign of the times, unfortunately.
On the other hand, it allows a faster, more modern effective way of sending alerts to the masses,
bypassing older, slower methods than in the past. (sirens, radio, TV broadcast interruptions)
Plus, it bypasses any chance of a media narrative push to alter the truth of what might actually be happening,
or what best action to take in the midst of it.
My theory of the purpose rolls along the suggestions that it’s the Prez, the Mil, and the Fed Gov people who will be in charge, if all hell breaks loose in this country for some reason. Nuclear strike hit, mass rioting after select treasonous former big wigs are rounded up and incarcerated, or national guard deployment, martial law, lock downs, etc.
The kind of shit everybody is expecting to hit the fan, as panic and chaos ensues.
Not knowing what’s happening leads to that kind of panic and rash decisions.
TPTB will want a means to instantly message as many as possible.
How they use it will determine if it will be an advantage for recipients, or a control mechanism.
I fear for the toddlers in my sphere, and the future they’ll be inheriting.
Good points.
Multilingual alerts are a given next time there is an emergency in the barrio.
Been there, done that.
If they can commandeer it, so can the Ruskies who took over an American broadcast not too long ago. Can you say flash mob?
if you read the “agreement” when you get your smart phone, you will see that you don’t really own your phone, it is really an access terminal to their network, which you are allowed access to, under the terms outlined in said agreement.
if you want to own your own smartphone, that is also fine, except you can’t access their network with your phone. you access their network, with their phone, and all the conditions mentioned in the “agreement” that nobody reads or understands.
and yes, dummy/flip phones have a much less sophisticated agreement, as they tend to not generate much personal information to harvest, when compared to smart phones.
you and your smartphone are a unique set of identifiers used to harvest your essence, which will be tracked and tabulated while your are breathing on their planet.
We can thank people like Brett Kavanaugh for the destruction of the 4th amendment. (He actually write parts of the Patriot act.) He may or may not have been ( who cares) sexual predator 30 years ago, but he is definitely a predator on our freedom now. Sadly actions by the dimwits have encouraged many to support him, while they should be disparaging him. That’s what happens when we have allegiance to parties rather than principles.
What Napolitano didn’t say/know – is that it’s believed Kavanaugh was coerced/threatened by the clinton machine. Some say he knows everything – all of it – including first hand knowledge of Foster’s killing/cover-up. Many, many good people have been forced to to the bidding of those in power and willing to use it, and kill/ruin anyone in their path. Or, maybe he is what you say or believe. Looks like we’re going to find out.
I think of the possibility Jeff Flake may be doing some bargaining. Taking a ‘depends if I’m treated fairly’ approach.
Flake isn’t up for re-election, not running, because he knows he can’t win as an anti-Trumper. So just who is he negotiating with?
What’s the big deal? This is like a Civil Defense warning. Maybe we can get a 5 minute warning, before a NK EMP takes out our entire power grid.
With all the crap, spoofed calls, we all receive on our phones, what’s one more?
That’s like the Norwegian war games. Our war games are just beginning. Instead of sirens, we get tweets on the cell. Didn’t we just see this drill in Hawaii? That one showed how the public reacts, soon we too can jump in our cars and drive mindlessly into a traffic jam in any damn direction trying to avoid being at ground zero.
That’s nothing. When I was born, the government assigned me a fucking number.
Your parents snitched you out.
Did anyone else get an alert ad for Viagra?
I got a picture of Stormy
Please share
Why? One nasty old ho
Just remember, YOU signed up for their surveillence so who is to blame? Looks to me like we the people are the ones who have become extremely transparent while .gov has become more covert.
Zooming out a little, did anybody need to ask permission from the pretenders at big.gang.guv to provide any materials or labor or land to provide “your” cell phone calls? If so, they don’t “own” the phone, the network, their labor, or the land. Who does? If “they” own the means to your life, is it yours? Is it worth reclaiming? Who are “they”?
Mine is wifi only, and always off until I need it. But it rang anyway. Wtf? There is nothing i want to hear from my government. Nothing.
I’m from the government and I’m here to help you……………
Nope. Twelve year old flip phone confirmed that keeping it for 12 years was a good move.
My big concern is it being used as a way to herd the sheep into the kill zones when the time is right, considering the reputation of the State is lower then the pits of hell in my eyes, think I will opt for going in the opposite direction if that time arrived.
Considering how easily a “unfortunate incident” could occur to any of our aging nuclear power plants. We could see entire populations being removed from cities or States. And all that would need to happen is a Government text informing the population to evacuate.
…And about as effective as the penis enlargement ads. Ignore.
*never get on the trains.
I don’t have a cell phone. And if they call my old-fashioned land line, I only answer callers I know. Screw ’em.
