People “in the biz” are not amused.
http://www.seattlepi.com/news/us/article/Hackers-use-alert-system-for-zombie-warnings-4276143.php
TV stations around the country running their Emergency Alert System on autopilot letting EAS automatically take over the transmitter – with the EAS password still having the factory default password have been embarrassed into airing EAS alerts warning of a zombie attack. The government is investigating to make sure it isn’t true.
This is sorta similar to the recent hacking of the Federal Reserve’s computer system, only there’s a much more profound intent to what was done. Anonymous claimed credit for hacking into the system and downloading the names, addresses, email information and other goodies regarding all the contacts in the US banking system to whom the Fed would send vital alerts and instructions on what to do, if for example, an attempt was made to disable the Fed’s ability to react to a banking crisis.
So, the info was released into the ether, more specifically the Alabama Criminal Injustice Center.
Who would harbor such hostile intent against the Feds you ask? China, Russia, Germany and possibly some of those nations to whom the Fed is refusing to give back their gold bullion come readily to mind. Gold that is supposedly held in safekeeping within the safe confines of the Federal Reserve’s vaults on behalf of those nations who want it repatriated.
Oh what a wicked web ‘they’ weaved, when they first set-out to deceive……..
Wouldn’t it be shocking if there is no gold and the Fed is a ponzi scheme?
Shocking indeed!!! Plus, when you consider all of the gold plated bars of tungsten in circulation, complete with all the markings of a legitimate Central Bank, then the sky’s the limit.
Sep 24, 2012 … a Chinese company openly advertizes its tungsten gold-plating and precious metals replication services…

Beam me up scotty…. another wacky idea from that crazy Rep Paul that actually wanted someone to check to make sure it is there.
Next thing you know some internet wacko will be saying that Social Security is a ponzi scheme.
Don’t be silly – it’s an insurance account with your life savings in a lock box!

Now an Anonymous is doing insider trades…. perhaps be connected to big donor Warren Buffet or the new Sec of State.
Good news: Looks like the SEC reads streamingradioguide.com 🙂

I heard this on the News on WAAM Ann Arbor. They interviewed the program director at a local PBS TV station, he said that they corrected the firewall issue,(unhooked the network cable) LOL
The local sheriff was investigating but no arrest as the attack ‘allegedly’ from outside the United States.
Supposedly the crawl line said: Zombies were coming out of the ground of the cemetery. Don’t let them in your house cause they will eat your brain. LOL

If accurate, the implication of this happening must be that EAS has been redesigned. EAS used to be done using a phone bridge. The regional hubs would get the phone call and the activation tones of the relay would turn on the other stations.
Only the White House national alert unilaterally takes over the transmitter – state and local EAS alerts are optional and the system strongly discourages its use for things that aren’t emergencies. The volunteer fire department blocking traffic to beg for money isn’t an emergency.
If EAS is now delivered via the Internet, that makes the Internet even more of a target for foreign governments who will point to stuxnet and say “you guys started it”. If it is still using the phone bridge, then it suggests that someone discovered a database containing the EAS phone numbers.
This is tricky because the state hub has to pass some kind if authentication test to prove EAS is really calling, not some teenage ninja zombie.
I’m sure it will be as useful and cost effective as the Emergency Broadcasting System was on 9-11.
Perhaps they key to the phone bridge is legacy technology. Enjoy this series. It brings back some memories… and it starts here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgoIJ9UDm5E&list=UUae1kNOXl69KAmKxVYthv7Q&index=19
I can’t believe I just sat and listened to 13 minutes of that. I must have a lot of time to waste! LOL!
I remember some of those sounds. That makes me ancient.
No one believed it…. Everyone know the Zombie lost last November. Enjoy some retro 2012 image humor:

TV stations around the country should be running their Emergency Alert System with this story:
“Today marks the 71st anniversary of FDR signing executive order 9066, which authorized the “indefinite detention” of nearly 150,000 people on American soil.
The order authorized the Secretary of War and the U.S. Army to create military zones “from which any or all persons may be excluded.” The order left who might be excluded to the military’s discretion. When President Franklin D. Roosevelt inked his name to EO9066 on Feb. 19, 1942, it opened the door for the roundup of some 120,000 Japanese-Americans and Japanese citizens living along the west coast of the U.S. and their imprisonment in concentration camps. In addition, between 1,200 and 1,800 people of Japanese descent watched the war from behind barbed wire fences in Hawaii. Of those interned, 62 percent were U.S. citizens. The U.S. government also caged around 11,000 Americans of German ancestry and some 3,000 Italian-Americans.”

This is a favorite topic of mine. Not only did FDR do that, he imposed censorship on Hollywood, took over virtually every American business and told them what to make, rationed food, forced almost every male into involuntary servitude, outlawed labor strikes by steelworkers – by any reasonable definition, FDR was a fascist. It’s a mystery to me why “born Democrats” don’t see that – or maybe they do and that’s why the so-called Greatest Generation admired him so much.
It is an amazing turn of events that illegal aliens have more rights here today than citizens did then…. then again there is this type of story that gets little attention by US media and even less by loyal Democrats:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/feb/09/saddiq-long-no-fly-list
As we all know by now, POTUS is not going to prevent the abuse of American citizens. Instead, the process is about inventing ways to punish US citizens, even benevolent Muslims, and deprive them of the most basic rights
Just another footnote – some folks took recordings of the alert and played it on the air – triggering another round of Zombie alerts.
It reminds of the days of callers calling into Larry King’s show when he was pretending he wasn’t falling asleep at 4 am – and playing the Mutual Broadcasting be-deep in band automation tones to confuse the automation gear around the country.
I hadn’t heard that but it is hysterical! I DO remember the tones and the automation gear getting confused but didn’t realize how and why.
The way to wake up Larry in those days was for someone to call every week or so and remind Larry that Howard was the King of All Media.
Or ask him about the reasons for his bankruptcy in Miami and why he changed his name.
Have you ever heard that Larry King had a heart attack once?
That’s right. Back in the days when you told the call screener what you wanted to say and you were either put through or told that that topic was not of interest.
Today, I understand they log caller IDs and those callers would need to present a fake caller ID and/or be subject to being called back by the program before getting on air.
Long Live CSPAN! Last I looked, they not only didn’t screen calls, but the callers went on the air live with no seven second delay. It is where I like to get reactions from people after a Presidential speech, rather than from the mainsteam media of their paid consultants.
The folks with big budgets (WABC) have a call history system that looks up the phone# – if you call a toll free number, they get your phone# even if you block callerid – they’re paying for the call. They see that before the call is answered.
The computer then looks up all the prior times you called and can see if it went well, etc. the one and only time I called a host was in the 1980s, so I don’t know firsthand how screening works these days. All I see is the effect, which most shows seem to have given up getting people to call, even national shows.
So, once you call a toll free number, and they get your phone# (even if you block caller id since they are paying for the call), even before the call is answered they know your history, plus your name and all that jazz, the call screener can put you through to the host, or drop you, and then you just become a caller who makes the Host Look Good? Oh, OK. So, that’s how Rush gets all those babes who gush over him? I don’t think Rush has to resort to those ends because those women really do love Rush.
Now for some of the other Hosts out there in the ‘ether’ I suppose they do need to corral some ‘babes’ who do agree with the Host’s ‘Topic of the Day”.
Rush has developed an unhealthy interest in the low information voter (LIV). 😉
That theme will run its course in due time. His long-time listeners are waiting to hear if Rush issues his final verdict, “It’s time to LEAVE!!!’ Meanwhile, he may launch a few more scorching salvos towards the Lamestream sell-outs.
The actual ‘producers’ in this country need to take a 1-2 year sabbatical and go explore the world. Let the chips fall where they fall. The Republicans are pathetic, the Democrats have given-in to the Dark Side and the RESET button needs to be hit, hard. It’s only a matter of time now until the SHTF.

I’ve been saying for years that it is not THAT the fed is printing trillions new of dollars and diluting the value of existing dollars, its that no one argues about them going to the rich. 15 trillion spread to 75 million households is a lot of money per household. Compare that to the debate over the trivial amount of budget growth reduction now in the press.
Is Rush the cause or the cure?
Rush shines light on the Darkness. It is up to the listeners to take action.
If you or I speak out about what we believe we know is really going on, then we are just kooks, conspiracy nuts, minor annoyances. We will be scoffed at and ridiculed, but no one is coming for us in the dark of the night, yet.
But, if someone who has the ears of 10’s of millions of listeners where to tread too heavily on the toes of the ‘elite’, then what choice would they have other than to silence the voice that 10’s of millions of people listen to? NDAA anyone?
Weiner is a lesser annoyance compared to Rush, so he can get away with saying a bit more, for now. Gotta listen to both. Also, get off the beaten path and start researching, listen to and read alternative news sources. You may not agree with everything, but you gotta do the research.

Start putting puzzle pieces together.
Jeff Christie was the cause. Rush killed him and became the Cure…. or at least the Paul Shanklin band. Open mic Friday? They’re in love! (They don’t care if Monday’s blue.)
Way too Inside Baseball. KQV was one unique station. I remember riding the 42 streetcar downtown and peering in the window at 7th and Smithfield at the “computers”
