On September 28, FEMA, the FCC, and the National Weather Service conducted a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS). EAS allows the federal government to take complete control of the content of television and radio stations, as well as cable systems.
Broadcasters are required to place the EAS switch between their studios and the station’s transmitter. When the government activates the switch, the broadcaster’s own sound and picture are replaced by the government’s.
Only once before has this system been tested nationally. That was in November of 2011. There were several glitches and the system failed to perform adequately.
Apparently, last week’s test was a complete success.
Ostensibly, EAS will be used to alert the public in the event of an impending natural disaster, probably a catastrophic weather emergency. Maybe even a national defense threat. Who could object to that? I don’t.
But we’ve all seen movies where the super-villain somehow interrupts every broadcast in the nation (or the world) to announce his threats or demands. In real life, the EAS system used far too many and varied protocols for that scenario to be even a remote possibility.
But EAS is now part of the wider Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS). It is based largely on the internet. This wider system not only has the power to commandeer broadcast and cable content, it can also access smart phones.
After the recent bomb attacks in New York and New Jersey, the government sent out a warning to smart phone users in that area to be on the lookout for the primary suspect. For the first time (unlike an Amber Alert or an Emergency Weather Alert), they transmitted the man’s picture.
Interestingly, your smart phone gives you control over the kinds of alerts or notifications you receive, such as Amber or weather alerts. But you do not have the ability to disable an alert from the White House. The President’s order overrides everything else.
In view of what Bible prophecy says about the Antichrist’s ability to communicate with the entire world, I think this is an interesting development.
Someone recently remarked to me that the EAS is old news. It’s been around for years.
My thought was that it has never worked satisfactorily. Until now. It was never fully comprehensive. Until now.
I replied that every system or tool the Antichrist needs to accomplish his worldwide takeover has been in development for years, decades, even centuries. What makes it interesting is that they are all coming into completeness and full utility now. Just in time for the Antichrist’s arrival.
Something else makes the rapid emergence of the tools and mechanisms he will need even more amazing. That is the fact that they are all being placed into the hands of global entities and authorities beyond the control of individual nations and states.
As of October 1, oversight of the internet has been completely ceded to an international agency. The ultimate authority to grant internet domain addresses now rests with a corporation outside the reach of the United States government. It remains to be seen what protections and rights that we, as American citizens, will now have available to us.
That pattern is repeating itself over and over. On September 20, President Obama told the United Nations that the United States has too much power and needs to relinquish some of its sovereignty. I know that’s hard to imagine, but it’s part of a worldwide trend.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a perfect example. That agreement took years to negotiate and is over 5,000 pages long. Though it is promoted by our leadership as a “trade” agreement, actually “trade” is only a small part of what it governs.
By agreeing to it, the United States is ceding an alarming amount of our own sovereignty and right of self-determination to a group of shadowy, globalist bureaucrats. And the TPP leaves very little recourse to us if we find it to be oppressive or harmful to our interests.
Most of it was negotiated during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State. In 2012, she called it, “…the gold standard in trade agreements.” Now that she’s running for president, she claims to be against it. But if elected, you can be sure she will reverse course again and promote it vigorously.
TPP legally obligates its members to implement the United Nations’ Agenda 2030. That’s the program the UN claims will end poverty and pollution by 2030. Its provisions first become active in 2018.
Agenda 2030 is an update of the notorious Agenda 21. It passed the UN unanimously last year. And it calls for massive changes in all our lives. It is literally a scheme to subjugate mankind under the heel of corporate and international elites.
When the Antichrist assumes power, he will need global tools and organizations, as well as incredible technology, to accomplish his purpose. And it looks now like he will have everything he needs. Right on time. Just as the ancient prophets predicted.
