Wikipedia pages get scrubbed all the time. Archive! Current page archive. A year ago.

Alertsense has since started another company called Konexus because of bad press when its software was used to launch the only known live Nuclear Alert in Hawaii in 2018

Whaaaaaat? Is this the one Q predicted on December 18, 2017 and later linked to a Trump tweet with a missing "i" misspelling on 12/22?

@srayzie, am I remembering the Q stuff right? Wasn't that in reference to Hawaii?

AlertSense was behind that!?

The Wikipedia page cites an unnamed, unlinked Hawaii Star Advertizer article as the source of that information. Could not find one mentioning the name of either company during that date rage using their search engine but here are all the results mentioning "missile". Maybe someone else has time to dig through them.

I did find a sanitized PR Newswire mention of the name change.

This notice says the name change happened after a new CEO was brought on, and mentions AlertSense was started by a FEMA grant!

Someone's done a blog https://archive.fo/sr7TO saying the Hawaii Star Advertizer reporting on the missile incident is fraudulent.

Here's a WeeklyStandard piece https://archive.fo/KHwO1 that mentions AlertSense was partly to blame:

Rapoza was adamant that a simple human mistake caused the false alert. And it looked not just possible but easy to make the mistake in the screenshot the agency released, with the link for “Test Missile Alert” close to, and nearly indistinguishable from, the link for “Missile Alert.”

The Hawaiian agency later modified its story, probably in response to complaints from the software manufacturer—which the Hawaiian television station KHON2 has identified as an Idaho company named AlertSense. The Emergency Management Agency replaced its first screenshot with a second, showing a Windows-style drop-down menu instead of a 1990s-era set of hotlinks. And, the agency confessed, the employee also had to make a second bad choice, clicking “Yes” on a confirmation pop-up. While not admitting to be the manufacturer, AlertSense has given demonstrations of its software to KHON2 and The Verge in recent days, by way of suggesting that the Hawaiian employee had, in fact, to go through multiple menus and clicks to send out the false alert, beginning with choosing what the company called a “wrong template option.”

This ArsTechnica article https://archive.fo/kCZxG has a lot more information, including links to the official investigation reports.

How is it that Silsby's company turns up in THAT mess?

@Blacksmith21 @gamepwn @MolochHunter @argosciv

Also, I'm going to keep linking to this old post showing Silsby and her AlertSense and Haiti cronies are all from Hewlett-Packard.

Someone added that Alertsense keeps covering it up.

Something screwy going on here...

Not that there's nothing suspicious RE: Silsby, but, I smell a manufactured crisis and possible attempt to discredit PG.

Silsby-Gayler and MYSTATEUSA, Inc./AlertSense

The information referenced has been removed twice, more than one year before the most current time(for a total of 3). Now, I hate gatekeeping on wiki too (as I have recently expressed), but the reasons given for the removals here, relate to sourcing issues (lack of adequate sources) and are not indicative of (a): regular efforts to censor OR (b): that AlertSense is directly responsible. That said, perhaps a "citation needed" edit would be more appropriate and less inflammatory.

However, the person who most recently re-added the info along with the claim that AlertSense is behind the removals, offers nothing to support that claim. Also, while they have included 'sources' this time, said sources don't actually link to corroborating information. They're basically just telling you to go google shit.

While the information may be true and sources may exist, the person(s) adding it to the wiki is/are clearly unwilling to source the claims properly - resulting in the removals.

Now, I've tried as best I can to verify the claims that Laura Gayner is Laura Silsby - there's enough out there to present the case that this is likely to be true, so why repeatedly botch adding the info to wiki?

What's so fucking hard about that?


Pizzagate

Recognize anything in this removal?

https://archive.is/rjSpC#selection-229.181-229.335

I'm not in the slightest bit happy about the deletion reason, but with the above in mind, something stinks about the botched MYSTATEUS, Inc./AlertSense edits and the subsequent accusation being made about the removals.

Again, I've pretty much been able to verify that Silsby = Gayler = was/is involved with MYSTATEUSA, Inc. and AlertSense, but what exactly is so hard about coherently adding the information to the wiki entry, with sufficient sourcing(which does appear to exist)?


In summary, while it does appear that the claims being made (other than the claim that AlertSense is behind the "regular" deletion of the information) are mostly verifiable, I suspect that a certain someone is deliberately* causing a commotion which will inevitably have a negative blowback on pizzagate researchers.

*Alternatively, if my suspicions are correct, the person making these edits may be a bit... uh... how do I put this politely... perhaps they're not thinking enough about what they're doing... they may have good intentions, but are otherwise defeating their own cause.

Glad you dug into this. I agree...something is a bit fishy, here.
