An emergency FEMA alert test will sound Oct. 4 on all U.S. TVs, radios and cellphones::On Wednesday, Oct. 4, FEMA and the FCC will launch a nationwide test of the emergency alert system.
I’ve already heard conspiracy theories about “the US government shutting down the internet” because someone misinterpreted this test.
FSM help us 🤦♂️
My personal favorite is the theory that it’s coming ahead of the planned EMP on October 11. 🙄
Oh, so they’re already planning on the next thing, because they know this current one is silly.
There’s going to be a planned EMP?? I need to go listen to all of the conspiracy theorists so I know what to do and what’s going on!!
Probably from people old enough to live through regular tests of the Emergency Broadcast System.
