If we are under heightened alert.. You WON'T be getting on! Maybe if they turned the economy off and then turned it back on it might run better. Works for my computer. |

I was one yesterday on a thread that had questioned the validity of the status and someone was kind enough to inform me that it was NOT a legit gov't site. It's good to be able to separate fact from fiction when we can as the info we can absolutely.. definitely nail down as fact is slim to none for sure. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37111464 who serves who again? remind me As a Constitutional Libertarian, I surely believe in transparency in government. That being said, there are things that need to be and will always need to be kept as closely-held information. A great deal of this stems from not necessarily keeping the American citizenry in the dark, but moreso to create additional hurdles for our enemies - and regardless of how many community organizers take office, we have and will continue to have enemies; hence the situation we're currently in. If no other shining example for this comes to mind, consider the Ft. Hood terroristic event (Nadal/ and yes it was terroristic), or those who suddenly fall to the "Sudden Jihad Syndrome", or even yet those who feel the need to share every tidbit of information they happen across in an effort to build or support themselves as being more "in-the-know" than their peers - many of these right within the bounds of GLP. There are many folks here on GLP that actually have the existing ties in place from which they ARE "in-the-know", and even more that have retained ties and associations from their former lives. None of these people will be the ones reporting that any DEFCON related status changes have been made.

User ID: 1533753 United States 04/04/2013 11:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Easiest way to tell DEFCON level is to check security protocol at entrance gate at nearest mil base. The higher the DEFCON the more inspection at the gate. If they disallow civie workers you are nearing highest DEFCON level. FYI. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34747345 That's not necessarily true, either. There have been base exercises where essential civilian workers where allowed on base. No family members allowed, though.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 20443423 United States 04/04/2013 01:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | To clear up a lot of misunderstanding that surrounds the DEFCON Warning System: Quoting: ClydeX The current DEFCON status IS NOT made public. Though there are many references throughout numerous threads over the past few days stating changes to the DEFCON status - these are not and cannot be accurate. The most often referred to site is "www.defconwarningsystem.com", and this page IS NOT associated with the US Government, or the US Military. This fact is even stated on their website, and has not been "updated" since 28 Mar 13. There are other similar sites, even some that actually refer to a particular on-line game, but be assured that none of these have an actual representation of the current status, or any change thereof. Unless you see a direct reference to any statement(s) made regarding the DEFCON Status by The President, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, or The Joint Chiefs (who wouldn't be relaying this news) - then any reference to a change in status is not founded. Do I personally believe it has been changed? Yes, I do. That, however, has no bearing on the actual status, the status for a particular area, or that it is fact. Those within the Cabinet or in certain positions within the US Military that DO know the current status or any changes will not make this information public. They didn't achieve that position by airing every bit of laundry they have come across. There are also additional "warning systems" in place, primarily operated by DHS, and these MAY also coincide with a current DEFCON status, but not necessarily. You can access these as open information by visiting the DHS site (which I intentionally did not link to GLP). Lets put the cap on the rumors and disinformation. lolol your obviously a shill stop spreading disinfo fag |
