If not get ready because on November 9 at 1:00 central or 2:00 eastern the government will be shutting down all radio, tv and even C-D for 3 1/2 minutes. This is part of a test to see what they can do and if it can work so well.

Can you think of any other times that the government has done something like this in the name of care of the people? I can think of several but it is so obvious that pure censorship is what Cass is aiming at, this time.

What the heck are you going to do if you can't post here for a full three and a half minutes?

Wow, a test of the emergency broadcast system for 3 minutes is censorship? How?

Can you not stand your own company for 3 minutes without Beck? 3 hours and 56.5 minutes not enough of him for one day?

Is this because Beck has put on the tin foil pancho while ranting it is a step for world domination by "them"? It was 4 days ago, you are off the ball Roy.

Censorship? My Cable Company is almost always shutting down during the middle of the night to fix problems and upgrade while people are sleeping. I see no censorship there so why would there be any other time? Emergency generators have to be checked in case of a real emergency, 3 and 1/2 minutes is not much to give up LOL.

Link to one reasonable source describing WHY and WHAT and I will consider it with an open mind.

You can search this yourself, you know. It took me all of 10 seconds, if that. The test is real, but it's just a test of a nationwide emergency broadcast system, not a censorship conspiracy like some congnitively-challenged chumps so desperately want the world to believe.

Of course people don't get it. They are seeing how fast/efficiently they can shut down all news getting out through all sources. This is just a taste of things to come. Once odumbo gets re elected he will put martial law in place and suspend the constitution don't say it can't happen remember Germany in the 30's.
