"Vidal" Signs?
Late last night, here in SoCal, I got an EAS alert over cable tv. It concerned a "CHILD ABDUCTION" in CentralCA and the surname of the child and armed/dangerous father was VIDAL. The child was later "located" and the father was discovered in LA. https://ktla.com/news/amber-alert-armed-and-dangerous-man-sought-after-abducting-son-in-lamont/
However, details are murky in the above update: not even sure it was an abuction.
But the Vidal surname got me thinking and ultimately reminded me of the book JA was holding [displaying] when he was arrested in the Ecuadorian embassy in London: History of The National Security State by Gore Vidal. I have not read it, but I found a page of quotes and many themes sound very familiar to anons.

E.g.: “the bandits own the media,” said Gore. “And the media tells them that America is the greatest country in the world. Well, it sure as hell isn’t, at least not for the people who live in it. But the media are there cheerleading, ‘These are the greatest guys on earth.’ The infantilizing of the republic is one of the triumphs of American television.” [mockingbird/infantilizing ultimately leads to oikophobia?]
E.g., “It’s a great scandal of the CEOs, who are simply bandits. They go into a company that had a rich base, grab everything they can for themselves, stock options, huge salaries, fire as many people as possible. If we ever have an oldfashioned revolution in the United States, it will be made by well-educated blue-collar workers who have lost their jobs.” [resignations]
EAS alerts are rare in fair-weathered SoCal, and I don't recall a prior one regarding an Amber/abduction alert. The term "CHILD ABDUCTION" was prominent as was "VIDAL."
Just spitballing, obviously, but it made me wonder. Messaging? JA time? Testing EAS? Anyone else get this EAS/Amber alert in SoCal? Anyone else get an EAS alert anywhere else? What did it mention?
