Three undersea cables cut could have been a coincidence. When the fourth was cut, we we’re more than suspicious. One day later, another undersea cable has been cut. This has to be intentional. C’mon, aside from the RIAA hiring a seamonster to cut off music pirates in Iran, what are the odds that this is all random?

A fifth undersea cable has now been reported as cut, responsible for knocking Iran and a few other million people mostly off the interwebs. Things were already looking awfully suspicious when a fourth undersea cable in the Mediterranean was cut yesterday, and while nothing about a fifth cable being cut necessarily means some sort of sabotage is to blame, it's not exactly reassuring.

I'm scared I'm not gonna be able to play WoW anymore some day :eek:

If they cut Blizzard's lines, I'm going after Osama personally!
 
maybe a new breed of evolved dolphins eat fiber optic cables to expand their cybernetic neural network superbrains. by destroying the internet they can kill birds with one stone: nourishment and causing chaos to human communication networks, all as part of their master plan for world domination!

I too blame global warming. It is the case of all problems. It causes it to be hot, it causes it to be cold, it causes it to rain less, it causes it to rain more, it causes it to snow less, it causes it to rain more, it causes more of all of different bad weather types (hurricanes, tornados,...), it causes people to get people to get E.D., it causes cancer, it causes AIDs, it causes children to misbehave, it causes crime, it causes people to get old, and now it is cutting fiber.
 
This looks like a job for Aquaman!!!!!

Since he really has nothing to do since most crime happends on land...
 
On a side note did you know that the military actually trains dolphins and seals to kill divers who are trying to sneak into our military bases via underwater. I had the pleasure of seeing some of them a few weeks ago. Talk about getting pwned.

Either its terrorism or maybe falling rocks?
 
Ok, when it gets to 7 I think even I will be forced to put on a tin hat.
 
It's aliens from outer space! They're using our signals against us.

SEE! :eek:
 
I think it is part of the US plan to bankrupt Iran. We cut off their internet access so they can't log in to their E-Trade accounts. We then tank the market and leave the Iranian stockholders with worthless stock certificates because they won't be able to sell them until its to late.:D
 
It is not common knowledge but Iran was set to launch(Feb. 1-11) an internation pertroleum market based on non-US dollars(euro). Seeing as how this would destabalize the American economy 2+2=4 ...... Oil is currently traded in US dollars FYI.

All surrounding nations affected by this disturbance saw utilization of internet fall to anwhere from 10-40% where Iran had 100% loss. I haven't seen proof yet but I read unconfirmed reports of a 6th cut.....
 
sorry percentages appear a little confusing. Surrounding nations lost anywhere from 10-40% access

Granted, the author loses all credibility when he says 9-11 was in inside job, but he does have plenty of good sources.

(snip) During the same time frame the United States of America has militarily invaded and occupied Iraq and Afghanistan, and American forces remain in both countries at present, continuing to carry out aggressive military operations. Simultaneous with these Israeli and American war crimes against countries in the region, both Israel and the United States have made many thinly veiled threats of war against Iran, and the United States openly seeks to increase its military presence in Pakistan's so-called “tribal areas”.(/snip)

Oh come on! War crimes? Why single us out anyways? Last I checked the war in Iraq and Afghanistan is being waged by a COALITION of international forces. Sorry but the author lost credibility yet again in this round.
 
At first I thought this was getting too much coverage. I figured there was some ship dragging an anchor or something similar. After searching the mainstream news sites I believe there's not enough coverage now, considering how many cables have been cut and where they are located .

It's starting to look just plain weird. :eek:

Loses credibility why? Does he claim he has PROOF that it was an inside job? Then I could see why that would loose cred. but not just saying that he think's so, because there are plenty of reasons why to think it might be an inside job, means and motivation are both there.
 
humm i would guess, that the reasons so many cables are getting cut or failing is probably because they have a "made in china" sticker on them, and the warrenty period has just expired.
Just like every other electronic device. once the warrenty is over they just seem to want to fail. :D

This is from 2001. The technology could be here now to handle the volume of data.

Bloody NSA

The NSA should be pretty pro at it by now. There were subs that were specially modified for the task. Currently USS Jimmy Carter should be the one being used.

Early in submarine cable tapping, there might be cases that they almost damaged cables while tapping, but I doubt if the NSA now suck at it so much that they cut 5 cables in a short amount of time.

Seems like someone's tactic to cut an enemy off the internet, but no one really knows who. Personally I won't be surprised if something big going to go down that general area soon.
 
I think what bothers me most about all of this is that no one has said what's caused the cuts.

How have they not figured out the first one or two yet :confused::confused::confused:
 
And this cuts all news into and out of the Middle East?

Oh.

Nothing to see here, move along.
 
Internet whack-a-mole. That's the reason. Cut one cable, and it seems to end up going out over another.
 
Yeah I also heard that Iran was to launch a total Oil Bourse against the US dollar on the day of some Islamic Independence... well thats the gist of it. Look it up your selfs I won't go into details nor look like I'm wearing a tin foil hat, but an educated guess.
 
Yeah, the fact that there is so LITTLE coverage about this suggests something is really wrong.. Controlling and/or disrupting communications is usually the #1 prelude to an invasion.

That, and the fact that it's not headline news suggest that organizations with enough influence to suppress the media are at work. There is no coverage on BBC or CNN, and MSNBC has reports on the first three cuts.

I suggest we all go to http://zapatopi.net/afdb/ and pray.. :D

Ahhh yes, all those years of burying our trash in landfills. It's gone straight to the planet's hips!!
 
Dr. Evil: "You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!"

Aha! I think we have a viable suspect. :D
 
Anyone know of a picture that details which cables were cut, maybe with numbered labels? Be funny if they were in a series :p
 
I can think of better ways to disrupt the world prior to an invasion other than cut our internet cables...

I like the global expansion theory heh
 
take a lok at the map here, and tell me the gears of war are not grinding towards a war with iran.... take a look at the surrounding countries. iraq, afghanistan, turkey, saudi arabia, and now pakistan, and the US navy patrolling off its coast.... now they cut off all communications...? nothing to see here folks.....
