Its either to gum up the works with chaos, or they really are that stupid and incompetent. (Govt drones)

Coming at it from a tech side it sounds like a database issue. That is the only way to hit so many random people.

Everything is being tested because of what has been launched for the 15th.

Go on... I haven't heard about the 15th.

Window on that is closed. Just check out the TV.

Here's a fun thing. This is how the Deep State devised to maintain access to all of our secrets for perpetuity.

Or is it a bad idea to give Jeff Bezos keys to Above Top Secret channels?

Thanks, but I've had one too many glasses of wine to make any sense of that pdf right now, so I'll check it out in the morning.

"We can't afford to integrate all these systems because the security engineering is prohibitively expensive! How do we integrate access to the data and retain our compartmentalization?"

"Lets connect everything to the cloud!"

They're desensitizing us. Think about the boy who cried wolf. After so many false natural and military threats, do you really think people are going to be eager to run for cover when there's a real threat? If you ask me, they're doing this to increase fatalities. Next, they'll probably have a volcano eruption warning, or say Musk's car is hurtling towards Earth and set to fall in the heart of New York.

there's been an awful lot of "false alarms" going off in what is supposedly a peaceful situation where people arnt lobbing missiles at each other

Well, at least this one was a tsunami warning instead of a missile warning. That's a least a little less ominous. I'm starting to think these are coordinated hacks.
