(OP) User ID: 11310285 United States 04/04/2013 09:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I do believe a good portion is simply because people honestly don't know and are repeating information thrown around as sensational fact. The ME and FE situation is trying enough to keep up with - there's no reason to create any additional fear(s) in people by repeating untruths related to the DEFCON system.

Quoting: ClydeX I do believe a good portion is simply because people honestly don't know and are repeating information thrown around as sensational fact. The ME and FE situation is trying enough to keep up with - there's no reason to create any additional fear(s) in people by repeating untruths related to the DEFCON system. I think some of it is there are so many threads about it, too. Maybe people are speed scrolling through the threads, trying to keep up. I know I find myself doing it and have to go back and reread. |

(OP) User ID: 11310285 United States 04/04/2013 09:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank you, and I do agree. I thought at this point that maybe we could have a centralized posting regarding the system - I'm sure you guys have typed the information numerous times over the past few days as well - this provides a simple link so that people can read for themselves. Job 12:7) But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: 8) Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. |

Sure - that is very valid. I'm on here a lot, but I'm (typically) doing work the same time. If I take a 20 minute phone call, then there's 20 pages of catching up to do.

What is the current DEFCON statis in your best guess knowing what you know? Is moving missiles into launch reason enough for them to consider raising the level? Thanks for the thread! Thank you for the kind words. Do I believe it to be imposing enough to justify raising the level? Quite possibly so, however, there is no way I would say what I think it is in watch that an OPINION (mine) is taken for fact by someone else. I just don't know that it would be responsible - especially on an open forum such as this. Job 12:7) But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: 8) Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. |

It's classified information and the only way we'll know, is if the pres., Sec. Def. or someone else that high up tells us. That website is NOT official. If it were, it would be a .mil or a .gov. |

The thing people have to remember, if something is happening, we WILL be aware of the changes. It seems we've forgotten what happened during Desert Shield/Storm and after 911. We don't need a website run in his mom's basement to see what's going on around us. Saying that, be careful of believing every post about increased aircraft activity. Some of it is false posting and most of it is just people noticing it. I've lived on bases with jets and heliocopters. Trust me, if they are deploying, you'll know for sure. |

Where we live now, we're not in a flight path anymore. If I do start seeing them, then I'll know something is up. If you do live/work in a place that sees overflights routinely, you'll start to see so many more. You'll know. |

Sure - it's surprising how tied to and dependent we - even a minimalists as I - have become to being "tied in". Sorting through the information to separate the valid, probable, plausible, and invalid information can become quite trying. That, again is the spirit of this thread - to remove one of the current speedbumps for folks looking for answers or information.

User ID: 8786935 United States 04/04/2013 09:59 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As a retired USAF person, I agree with you. I was aware of DEFCON status changes but it is something we never revealed outside the need to know people. As a matter a fact, it is not a warning system at all, rather a status system used only by the military. Any postings concerning DEFCON status should be disregarded. :TOMABANEFOX: It's more humane this way ya know, or burn on totem pole. Choice is yours. |

Quoting: alexisj9 I believe many people honestly do not know, then take a posting on a site such as this as being valid. There is a tremendous amount of good information to be found within GLP. There is just as much incorrect information posted here - be that intentional or not.
