The Armed Forces of the United States have a Global High Frequency Radio System (Shortwave) which, as part of its many other communications resources, transmits coded Emergency Action Messages (EAM's) to US Forces worldwide.
The messages cannot - ever - be decrypted by an adversary because the letters and numbers verbally broadcast correspond to codes that are changed daily. Moreover, each EAM is accompanied by an authentication code which MUST match the authentication code in the lock boxes aboard planes, ships, and submarines. If the message is properly formatted and accompanied by a valid authentication code, then the message is valid and the Orders get carried out.
Tonight, the US is Broadcasting a large series off EAM's. One such message contained 142 separate characters, indicating a complex series of orders going out to US forces.
While I have NO WAY of knowing what these EAM's are ordering, I cannot help but feel the volume of messages, and their length, indicate (to me) something big is about to happen.
