Discussion: Hawaii Emergency Management Agency Says Missile Alert Was False Alarm

Amene to that, sandyh!

Just making America better again? We will all be issues a canary in a cage no doubt. Only the oldest and unreliable technology is allowed by the Republican Neanderthal religious hypocrites.

Not until he is out of office. Then the G Men will strike. The Resistance needs to make that happen sooner not later by taking back Congress and threatening Roberts with impeachment if he doesn’t stop the gerrymandering.

Just looking at the Hawaii press and this caught my eye. Not directly related to the false alarm. But considering history, it was a bit eerie since that worked out well in '41. And I also do not understand what is even meant by a homeland defense radar. I would think that the military assets would have dictated the most forward of defenses and detection. Something stinks in that statement.

ā€œA ā€œhomeland defense radarā€ for Hawaii ā€œis a high priority within the
command,ā€ Kailiwai said. Initial operating capability is expected in
2023.ā€

Quite possibly an electronic breach. Let’s see where this leads.

I was always more afraid of the tornado drills. Ah, the innocence of youth. With social media, all our kids know what the real threat is these days and it sits in the White House.

Not in mine. We got hauled downstairs at school to huddle in the hallways. Nice that our burial location was determined ahead of time. What was fun for us, when I say a scramble, the entire base participated in the drills. All aircraft that could would leave immediately. It was pretty rowdy and scarey as hell.

Glad the military was taking the threat seriously as they enjoyed their luau. Why isn’t the military taking the Russian threat seriously instead? They already attacked us.

Requires an investigation. Don’t know if this was an accident or human error, but it’s not acceptable. I don’t recall stuff like this happening…ever.

I’m a but cynical perhaps, but I recall 2004 when Bush/Rove/Ridge mastered the art of issuing timed terra’ alerts during an election year. I have no doubt that the Trumper WH wants to change the subject from shitholes and strippers. This suggests incompetence, which is as bad or worse.

I’ll rely on Reba McEntire in a nuclear attack any day. She really knew how to handle the situation in ā€œTremors.ā€

Speaking of shit holes, the tin hat people will be out in force after today. It’s a shame that the Russians have already cleared by Trump or they would have been the first blamed for this military snafu. The Mueller investigation would not be questioned by even the Republicans’ lunatic fringe?

The thought had passed my mind, too. I hope Obama isn’t vacationing there or they will haul him into one of Issa’s hearings and demand his real birth certificate.

I’ll repeat what I just wrote on another thread…

What’s amazing to me is that bloviators on TV are talking more about the effects of a nuclear bomb on Hawaii and those kinds of ramifications rather than who fucked up in the government that sent out the false alarm and what’s being done to address that. The warmongers are in full battle mode from the sounds of it. This has more to do with someone fucking up on a massive scale to make people unnecessarily shit their pants.

That’s where the focus needs to be so we don’t get hysterical about a nuclear war. CNN is going full freak out about a real nuclear attack instead of focusing more on the huge fuckup that someone created. If we’re gonna talk about huge fuckups, we should at least talk about trump getting bogus information from Faux and Fiends, and then starting a nuclear attack based on the kinds of false reports he’s hearing from his TV or through the fillings in his teeth.

What did all those Trump voters have to lose? Trump is the biggest threat to world peace since Hitler and that’s even without considering his fascist tendencies.

With great sensitivity comes false positives. Consider it a drill. Did you do the right things?

This administration is altering my physiological chemistry. At this rate, I’m going to develop unwelcome secondary sexual characteristics.
