What is the difference between US and a police state?
It was put in place 8-15 yrs. ago, but it is now being implemented by Obama. They weren't allowed to talk about it before. Now they are coming out in the open.
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.
“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.”
In addition to your cell phone, the government wants to take control of your internet broadband in the event another phony terror attack threatens the homeland.
Lisa Fowlkes, deputy chief of the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau of the FCC, told FederalNewsRadio on Monday that the FCC is looking at how wireless broadband could also enhance the EAS as part of a recommendation that was in the FCC’s National Broadband Plan from last year. The idea is to hijack broadband and the internet for emergency alerting propaganda with the “Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS) being developed by FEMA and the wireless industry,” according to Fowlkes.

Well, in a police state, people are routinely snatched up and jailed (or worse) for voicing dissent to the government, or for not following orders. As one example, see the people who were jailed in North Korea for not crying believably when Jim Jung Il died.
In the US, lunatics like Alex Jones are free to post videos of their paranoid ravings on the Internet for everyone to watch.
Will he send smoke if you don't have a phone? LOL Thar's no way i will own a cell phone and i gave up the hard wire too. You want me you send smoke or a e-mail. I find this BS most entertaining..
I don't want to hear from Obama anyway. If he wants he can-email me. If he isn't sending be 100 million bucks i don't want to hear it anyway.
Frankly, I would like a warning before something happens and don't see it as that much different than taking over the TV airways for emergency alerts like we've been doing for years. To me this is just keeping up with newer technology for the Emergency Alert System. I see no reason to think they are going to use it for anything but a serious threat.

It went in to effect August last year. What's cool is I have a GoPhone with no money on it that screams when there's a severe weather alert. Makes a very nice weather radio with no monthly fees.
You can turn off the alerts. But if you turn on any alert then the presidential alert feature is also turned on. You can't have another type of alert on without the presidential turned on. But you can turn them all off if you wish.
It can be quite a surprise when you get the first alert if you don't know the phone has that enabled. The GoPhone isn't a smartphone but it's a feature phone and I think works better than my smartphone for this.
