Civil Defense siren test cancelled
« on: July 31, 2018, 09:04:41 AM »
FYI

The traditional civil defense siren test for August  1, 2018 has been cancelled.
The reason given for this is the anticipated return of the remains of US service members from Korea.

If I were the gov, I would declare flags lowered to half staff also.
What, Me Worry?

I saw CNN for a bit today at a restaurant and they were going out of their way to call them the 'alleged remains' trying to steal some Trump thunder. I suppose it's possible KJU could hand over fakes but it's not like we wouldn't find out.

I've been waiting to see/hear the same sour grapes from the fake media from the day the repatriation of remains was announced.

With each bit of good news, the media ignores or says, "We'll believe it when we see it."  When something good has bad news, like when the talks were delayed, they quickly jump on the "Look at Trump!  He was played by Kim Jong Un!!  What an incompetent president!" bandwagon.

I've pretty much stopped taking anything the MSM says seriously.

Hopefully there will be no tsunamis or incoming ballistic missiles in August.

Has nothing to do with anything.

If there's a need, they'll activate sirens.  If anything, the cancelled test will make real warnings more effective.

IDK, how do we know they'll work if they weren't tested?   ::)

Why would you believe they won't? is testing in July not good enough to skip a month?  Do you know something about the sirens we don't?
