At 8:07 A.M all Hawaii Residents received this Emergency Alert on our cell phones "EMERGENCY ALERTS- BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL."
I was in my kitchen pouring my second cup of coffee when my friend who is here visiting called me to come outside. I walked out the door and he handed me his cell phone. I read the alert and my first thought was "Hell no!" "This is not happening." My friend advised my that he could not make a call on his cell phone. I went inside, grabbed my cell and it had the same alert and even though we have different carriers for our services, I was unable to make a call on my cell either.. I then told my friend I was going out in the yard and "Stop this!" I further advised him that the military has the capability to shoot missiles down, if they chose to. There were no local sirens going off and no military planes flying over the Island.
While I was in the yard visualizing the missile being shot down, my friend was out trying to calm down my neighbor that lives across the street. He and his wife were freaking out and going to other neighbors homes to warn them. I then turned on CNN News. The reporter was making the announcement that this was a false Alert. They had called NORAD and informed that there was no sign of missile activity on their satellites. They then spoke with the Hawaii Emergency Officials and were advised that this was a test of their emergency system and they were testing to see social media response.
We had to find out from twitter and CNN News that this was a false alarm. We received the original alert at 9:09 AM and the notification of the false alarm at 8:45 A.M.
As far as I am concerned, this to me is an act of terrorism! If you re-read the initial alert, it specifically says THIS IS NOT A DRILL!"
Was there a true alert sent out and missile stopped and covered up by CNN who are government controlled and censored or was it a fake alert to place fear? Or was it a simple misreported alert? Either way, I am totally Pissed at how all this was handled!!
What are your opinions?
What can we do as a community to stop this insanity and put a stop to the powers that be trying to start World War 111?
Hopefully this will be a good wakeup call to humans all around the world to all the injustices and fear based propaganda being crammed down our throats.
United We Stand for all Humanity!!
Here is the article from Reuters.com
HONOLULU (Reuters) - An emergency alert was sent mistakenly on Saturday to Hawaii’s residents warning of an imminent ballistic missile attack when an employee at the state emergency management agency pushed the “wrong button,” Hawaii’s governor said.
