Hawaii sends out missile alert by mistake


I don't buy that this was a mistake:
People across the US state of Hawaii received a text on Saturday morning, warning of an impending missile strike. 
It was declared a false alarm shortly afterwards, but not before panic started to spread. "Ballistic missile threat inbound to Hawaii. 
Seek immediate shelter. This is not a drill," read the message, all in capital letters. Hawaii Emergency Management Agency later confirmed there was no threat. In an online statement, Honolulu Police Department said: 
"State Warning Point has issued a Missile Alert in ERROR! There is NO threat to the State of Hawaii!" 
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser said emergency officials had mistakenly sent the message out by text at 08:07 (18:07 GMT) before correcting the error some 20 minutes later. 
It was unclear how the mistake was made.

Someone check to see if the same kooky Lib who deleted Trump's Twitter account caused the false missile warning in Hawaii. These things NEVER happen by accident. You normally find a Zealot at the switch.

From our 1st season: the Clinton State Dept. cut a deal to keep secret names of powerful Americans allegedly sheltering $ illegally in Swiss bank UBS. (Instead, the DOJ jailed the whistleblower.) @FullMeasureNews

I notice they've already blamed it on Trump.

CREEPS ON A MISSION: Michael Horowitz is Really Investigating the Investigators
Since at least July 2016, the upper echelon of the FBI and the Department of Justice began a stealth operation—with the complicity if not instigation of President Obama—to taint and destroy Candidate Trump with a concocted “Russia collusion” narrative.

Michael Horowitz, the Inspector General of the Department of Justice, has been running a little-watched parallel investigation that is already producing results—when he is not manipulated or overborn by Robert Mueller.

His name is not familiar to most Americans, but Mr. Horowitz has played an important role since President Obama named him Inspector General (IG) for the Department of Justice in 2012.

Congress mandated the position of IG for every major federal agency. The 72 IGs work on behalf of the taxpayers as independent watchdogs over their respective agencies.

If you think the IG position is not important, remember this: Remarkably, President Obama did not appoint a permanent one for the State Department during Mrs. Clinton’s entire tenure. When John Kerry took over as Secretary of State, the newly appointed IG found and disclosed that Mrs. Clinton used an illegal secret server, and they immediately identified classified material in the first random sample of only 40 documents.
